The Best Man of the Lot.

From the Lawrence Journal.
The Peoples convention ought to have
nominated Mrs. Lease instead Of Willis,
for governor Very few men stand any
show whatever for recognition when her
clarion voice rings out and she begins
the windmill act with those long arms OF
hers. General Rice had 10 take back
seat when she came into his town, and
there are mighty few people in this
world who can make the general sit in
that part of the house.

1t begins TO look as though it would
be France and Russia against the rest of
Europe. The French people seem to be
recognizing that result as probably inev-
liable. and manifest much enthusiasm
over the prospect. 1t would be a strange
combination. but political necessity
knows no law; and with Germany, Aus
tria and England il understanding with
each other, France and Russia are "froz-
en- out and compelled TO an alliance for
common safety.

THE OCEAN CABLES OF THE
WORLD.

Herbert Laws Webb In October Century
According to the latest report of the
International Bureau of Telegraph AID
ministratiOns, the submarine telegraph
system of the world consists of 100, 070
nautical miles of cable. Government
administrations own II, 524 miles, while
1917. 946 are the property of private COM
panies. The total cost of these cables is
in the neighborhOod of two hundred
million dollars. The largest owner of
submarine cables is the Eastern Tele-
graph company. whose system covers
the ground from England to India, and
comprises 21,S60 miles of cable. The
Eastern extension, which exploits the
far east, has 1858 miles more. Early
in last year the system of West African
cables, which started from Cadiz only
six years ago, was completed to
Cape Town, so that the dark con-
tinent is now completely encircled by
submarine telegraph, touching at nU-
merOus points along the coast. More
than 1900 miles of cable have been re-
quired to do this, and several companies
with more or less aid from the British,
French. Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, have participated in carrying out
the work
The North Atlantic is spanned by no
less than eleven cables, all laid since
1870. though think not all are working
at the present time: five companies are
engaged in sending kilograms between
North America and Europe, and the to-
tai length of the cables owned by them,
including coast connections, Is over 81, 900
nautical miles

Congressman BOothman has nOmi-
mated Major Mckinley as the next Re
publican candidate for president. Mr..
Boothman is little too previous. There
is no question about Mr. Mckinley S
ability in a general way to make a good
president, but until the country has been
heard from in a substantial way in re-
gard to the tariff measure that bears his
name it is idle to name him III connec-
ton with the nomination for president
Six months or year hence VIII be time

1t was noted a day or two ago that
Maj. Butterworth, of Ohio, had declined
70 stand for reelection to congress as the
Republican nominee, and 1t was intima-
ted that the Democratic gerrymander of
the state had something to do with this
determination. 1t is more likely that the
SIP, 500 salary as secretary Of the Worlds
Fair association had more to do with it
than the other. But nobody can blame
the major. There are mighty few men
who would not do likewise.

The most delicate proposition that has
ever perpleXed railway officials or other
administrators of property has been sub
United by the government of the pro-
vince Of BuenoS Ayres to the new West

instructed that the tariff must he reCu-
lated in proper proportion to the gold
premium. The Argentine government
forbids any change without thirty DAYS
notice to the public, which proved a
hardship to the railways when gold was
advancing, but it is expected that they

little when gold starts to decline.

KANSAS KICKERS.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The unauimity of the Kansas press this
fall is unparalleled in the history of the
state In kicking and in criticiSing and in
fault-finding generally, probably the
Leayenworth Times. AtchisOn Champion.
Lawrence journal, EmpOria Republican

unanimous. In some instances the editors

and in one instance two founders Of the
same paper, a father and son, are running
against each other for the same office. -
Wichita Eagle.
In so far as the EAGLE refers to The
Gazette, we can clearly say that it is
another. The Gazette has not kicked on
a single issue. We wanted some fiux one
and we made fight for it. And since
every state and district expression west
Of the state of Ohio has been with us,
the Troy Chief is the only kicker on this
issue. In every other conceivable respect
The Gazette has been at peace with all
mankind. We are for prohibition: we
are for every man on the Republican
ticket everywhere in Kansas. and we
have not antagOnized any of them. But
at homo we have one faint kick to make
for few DAYS, and that is whether q

The Globe-Democrat asks, for infor-
nation we suppose, if the reciprocity
clause in the Mckinley bill that was in
serted by the senate is constitutional,
and quotes Senators Hoar and Edmunds
as holding that it is not The Atchison
Champion takes up the question and dis
cusses it at considerable length, its con-
clusion being that the provision is in
cOntraventiOn of the constitution for the
reason that it delegates to the president
prerogative that belongs wholly and
exclusively to congress. The Champion
expresses the belief that it was simply a
sharp trick on the part of the protection
lists to insert the reciprocity clause in the
bill to mislead the public and allay agita-
ton of the tariff reform. If that is true
it leaves the author of the scheme, Mr..
Blaine, in the attitude of very ignor-
ant or a very dishonest man, either of
which the public will be slow to accept.

where but few minutes before the

town museum at Cassel, Germany, with
ono Of the most remarkable set of books
known to the bibliomaniac or botanist-
library of 500 volumes, each book
made OF different kind of wood. The
book Of each volume is formed of the
bark Of tree, the sides of the wood in
its mature state, the top Of the wood as
taken when young, and the bottom Of
the same wood after it has been dried
and seasoned. When opened the book
is found to be without leaves, box
shaped, containing the flower, seed,
fruit and leaf Of the tres of which the
box book is made. Australia is said to
have over 1000 species of trees large
enough to work up into books after the
fashion Of those In the Cassel museum.
At the timo Of the Melbourne colonial
exposition Of 1855 Col. Clamp exhibited
large collection Of woods made into
books, each alphabetically arranged, and
labeled with both tho common and the
scientific name of the species of wood
from which the dainty little wooden
volumes were fashioned. The collection
was gotten up to show the wonderful
possibilities Of Australian forestry. TAX

which were classified and arranged for

tion Of the year last named. AS with

collection showed the wood in Its several
growths, as well as fruit, leaves and
seeds, either natural or initiated in wax.
