We find all kinds of people One fellow argues that if Teddy Roosevelt and Billy Sunday should suddenly be snatched from us we would soon be hid ing in dens and caves in the wil derness as did the Israelites af ter the passing Deborah and Bar ak. Manhattan Free Lance Daniel Luten, of Indianapolis, has some forty patents, covering every style of bridge from a pontoon to a double track cement bridge, 300 to 400 specifications If these patents stand in court, no one can build any kind of a concrete bridge without paying tribute to the Indiana usurper. Luten might as well be given absolute dominion over the rock and chemicals used in the construction of cement as to be permitted to exact royalty through these patents. We hope the legislature will appropiate funds to be used by the attorney general to fight these patents and the bridge poolers who are skinning the daylights out of Kansas taxpayers. W.

S. Gearhart, state engineer, some time ago made plans and specifications 'for a number of concrete bridges and while his office supplied the skill and genius shown in his specifications and plans, Luten has brought suit against him for infringement of patents.

The Boards Of Education in a great many of our cities have just awakened to the fact that magazines and books containing cigarette and whiskey Ads should be barred from school li braries. The teaching of hygiene and physiology in our class rooms and the attractive advertisement of cigarettes and whiskies in our school libraries hardly seem con-sistant. The Riley County Board of Health spent during the year just ended $830.85 or four and one-half cents per capita to protect you from disease.

fellow who shouts the loudest, pays the least taxes. We have often heard this re mark. What's the use to fix up the school building, the children just tear it up, mark the walls, scar the furniture and in no time things are as bad if not worse. Just show me the districts that are upto date, keep surround ings at par, and are doing everything possible under the circumstances to better conditions, and I will show you a group of children who take pride in keeping things in good order and brag about their own little building. On the other hand, if you have a poorly constructed, poorly located and poorly taken care of building, I will show you children who have lost interest better things and care less.

We have both conditions in our own coun- ty but thank goodness the latter are in the minority. We are justly proud of our school dis tricts and pleased to see the im provements that have been made during the past year.

"THE interstate commerce commission has decided to discontinue the publication of its monthly bulletins of revenues and expenses of steam roads in the United States." That is the announcement sent out with the December issue of this bulletin as a typewritten letter to editors Certainly. It was during Dec, that the commission granted the 5 per cent raise to the railroads It stands to reason that it would quit publication of information showing how the roads were mulcting the public, as such information now would reflect on the commission that granted the raise.

Before that raise was authorized, in the last report issued by the commission, it appears that the monthly "net revenue from railway operations a-mounted to $87,778,160. What do you supose it will be when the new rates go into effect and no report is to be made of them? Exchange. Duck Hunters Take Notice.
