A CANARD.
The New York Press Exposes that Important
BiIl' business

The article credited to the New York
Press in a recent issue Of this paper, in
which it was alleged that unfavorable
action has been taken in the New York
legislature against the Royal Baking
Powder, proves to have been a canard
gotten up and circulated by opposition
baking powder makers for purposes quite
apparent to every one.
The New York Press, in exposing the
fraud says: mo such legislation as that
stated in this article has ever been had in
this State-or in any legislature TO our
knowledge" The lie is made from whole
cloth The Press disclaims any response
bility for the publication, and objects to
being made party to such methods
adopted by some baking powder manu-
facturers in their efforts to substitute
their goods for others now in use.

The experiments made this year at
the different sugar mills in this state
with beets as a sugar producing and
profit yielding crop. have been entirely
satisfactory to both the mill men and
the farmers. The beets are worth
$3.50 to SIS per ton at the mill, and the
yield is seven to ten tons per acre,
according to the character of the soil
and cultivation. The beet crop is AS
sure as the sorghum and is more profit
| able for its sugar-yielding qualities.
These points being proven by practical
demonstration, the extent of both these
crops in the futnrs will be proportioned
by the capacity of the mills to properly
handle them.-W Wichita Eagle.

THE alliances of Stafford and Rice

pressing the fact that, at the recent
election large majority Of the voters

themselves as opposed. to the return OF

lutions are directed to State Senator
Smith, WITH the request that, if he
desires to represent the wishes of his
people who elected him he will oppose
the reelection of ingalls,. Barton

the same action. and if MIR. Smith. who
is himself farmer, possesses the prop

THE eodifying committee of the
Kansas state senate has recommended
a number of sweeping cuts In salaries
of public officers, which, on the face of
1t would indicate that it was in accord
ance with the demands of the people
for less boodllng. The facts in the case
are, that the cuts are mostly made
where the salaries are already small.
and the object is to get the granger
representatives into pickle by having
them cut down salaries OF apQointive
officers to such notch that truly cum
petent men will not serve, and thus ill
such offices with incnmpetents whose
blundering will in the end result in
casting odium upon the party holding
the majority in the two houses If the
house of representatives is wise it will
carefully overhaul the report, and cut
the salaries or officers who can afford
to be cut; leaving the subordinate men,
who really do all the work, fair paw for
their services. The codifying COM
mittee's report, if acted upon, would
result in a reduction that would be
penny wise and pound foolish.

HE NEVER WORKED,
And That Is Why He Became LoafeK
and Thief.

And That Is Why lie Became a LosffeR
and q Thief.
A short time ago youth of nineteen
was brought before magistrates court
in Philadelphia, on the charge of petit
larceny. He had stolen some tools and
other small articles from time TO time,
and the testimony showed that he was q
riotous fellow and the terror of the
neighborhood. When he was questioned
he admitted that he had never worked,
and that his mother widow-support-
ed him and supplied: him with pocket
money.
He never worked, What an admis-
sion for boy, almost a man. to make.
Is 1t any wonder that such a boy was not
ashamed to admit that he was supported
by his mother? An ordinary boy of
nineteen would blush TO think that his
mother bought his clothes, but boy
who never worked had no such fine
feelings.
If such boy were questioned closely
it would probably be found that he was
brought up to believe that there was
something degrading in work and that
the worker could not be gentleman.
There are boys, and perhaps few
grown-up people, who hold to this be-
lief, which is easily shown to be errone-
GUS There IVES a time when such an
idea prevailed. no doubt; but that time
has long past.
At the present day even Princes and
Princesses are taught trades, and are re-

millinery and dress-making shops in
London, a Marquis runs line of cabs,

are at the head OF great ship-building
plant, lists of railway directors show
liberal sprinkling of aristocratic names

an English trade or profession into
which noblemen have not embarked

Another Kick from "Old Chronic" |"

The school board did very COM
mendable act when it elected Prof.
Smith superintendent of the city
schools, but then kicked all the good
over when it fixed the salary at S85 90.
1t seems that is popularity of the
people of Kansas to be extreme in
everything. Just why the board should
fall from high salary to an extremely
low one is not apparent unless they
feared Prof. Smith would accept the
superintendency and by placing the
salary so low they would compel him
not to do so. Prof. Smith is an able
and experienced teacher and no doubt
would make an efficient and popular
superintendent and there is no reason
to ask him to work on starvation
salary. Register.
Persons geading the above, and not
knowing all the circumstances sur
rounding the case or the motive back
of the Register editor, might be led to
believe that the school board was COM
posed of lot of numskulls who did
not possess the first principles of an
ability to manage educational affairs.
The facts are, that Prof. Smith has
accepted the position, at the salary
named. for the balance of the present
school year which ends the first of May,
and has no complaint to make concern
tng the salary named.
lsnd further, there are various cities
in Kansas with a larger school popula-
ton than Great Bend which have never
paid their principal 500 a month, as
Great Bend has heretofore done, and
there is no evidence that their schools
are not as good as ours. The action OF
the board in engaging Prof. Smith has
met with the unanimous approval of
the citizens of Great Bend, and only
sold chronic" finds occasion to unjustly
eriticise such action. His motive for
thus pitching into the school board
meddlin9 with affairs which do not
concern him, evidently arises, first
from deformity of his mind which
calIsas him TO be at cross purposes with
mankind generally, and second, from
his hatred of the C. n. c., from which
springs desire to prevent anyone who
has in any way been connected with
that institution from receiving recog-
nition. He knew Prof. Smith possesses
all the requirements Of first class
| instructor and could fill the position oil
city superintendent as well as any ap
plicant therefor, and he did not dare
direct his criticism in that direction
so he thought to throw blame upon the
school board and influence the professor
not to accept the position. But as peo
pie have become so well acquainted
with the erratic ''old chronic who edit.
the Register, no attention was paid tx
his kick" and we feel like apologizins
to our readers for giving this mucf
space to him.
