publican says, as if it were not drouthr
or chinch-bugs or Shylocks that have
brought all the misery on Kansas
but the newspaper publishers. Al
any rate both houses Of the Legisla'
ture seem to "have it in" for them
and have passed bills cutting down
the price of legal printing from
twenty to fifty per cent. We presume

lection could be made. But they are
not. The old Grange legislature saw
to that when it cut the then existing
rates in half. Take the tax lists fol
example,: The REGISTER will be re
quired in a week or two to print the
October final tax sale. There are just
two town lots to be sold and under
the present law we will receive the
munifieent sum of twenty cents for this
publication, whereas if it were charg'
ed for on the same basis that we
charge our individual advertisers il
would amount to between four and
five dollars. But the Legislature
thinks that twenty cents is too much
and it looks now as if we would have
to do the work for twelve cents! There
might be some excuse for this. parsi.
mony if the expense was paid by the
county at large. But it is not. 1t is
paid by the individual delinquent.
Why should his interest be protected
at the expense of the printer? There
is no other one class or profession that
does a tenth part of the gratuitous
work for the public that the news
papers do. They do it cheerfully and
as part of their business, but it
counts none the less. And it is a
plain outrage that they should be
forced to accept starvation wages for
work that is required by law to be
done. We second tho motion of the
Paola Republican for the organization
of State Press Association whose
business it shall be to see to it that
the newspapers are either treated
fairly or that somebody gets hurt.

PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard uni
versity, who is not a politician but
who is a thorough and scientific stu
dent of economics, has been visiting
in the West, and in an interview with
Kansas. City reporter expresses him.
self upon questions that are being
much discussed in Kansas just now,
as follows:
!, The people of the East deal in mon-
ey. The people of the West want
money-cheap money. To get money
as cheaplY in the West as in the East,
the people of the West must establish
confidence. If the Eastern man is
certain that he will get his interest
when due, he will be willing to send
it West for low rate of interest.
There's hardly family in New Eng
land that has not lost some of its saw
ings i'm Western securities that did
not secure. This, coupled with the
loud talk of Vicious legislation ON the
loan question and the demand for
what the Eastern man considers IN
sound money, shakes faith in Western
securities and consequently large in
terest is demanded to compensate for
the risk.
1t will be observed that DIR. Eliot's
views are identical with the opinions
that have been often expressed in the
editorial columns of the REGISTER
and there is one sentence in this in
teryiew that is very suggestive. And
that is, There's hardly a family in
New England that has not lost some
of its savings in Western securities
that did not secure.n The meaning
of that is that q large share of the
money that is loaned on Kansas farms
comes from the pockets of laborers
and widows and children and repre-
sents their hard earnings and prudent
savings. And these are the ones that
are hurt when the loan is lost. These
constitute to large degree the "Shy-
locks" and the "Plutocracyn that we
hear so much about.

THE investigation Of the Coffeyville
dynamite explosion, by which the Al
lance party hoped to convict Gov.
Humphrey and the Republican party
of attempted murder, has fizzled COM
pletely. The prosecution has not been
able to connect any Republican even
remotely with the crime. Mrs. Lease,
who declared on the stump last fall
that she could prove that Gov. Humph-
rey, Bion Hutchins and Capt. Booth
were responsible for the explosion, adj
mitted under oath that she knew
nothing whatever about the matter
except from hearsay.

Personal Note by the Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our
life time, and know what it is to be
uncomfortably housed in a poorly up
holstered car and rudely tossed up
and down OH old iron rails that are
laid on a dirt road bed. We have
been there; but it was always on other
roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is
hard to beat. The rails are of heavy
steel, the track smooth and rock-bal-
lasted; and the through "Cannonball"
train that files at a neutrality-suspicious.
speed over this elegant roadway is as
pretty bit of workmanship as Messrs
Pullman ever turned out. Each ves-
tibule sleeper is model of luxury, and
as easy as a cradle. Chair cars, libra
ry cars, and day coache are all care
fully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightfully
named "the most comfortable line"
