but will say that if the populists
and democrats Of Kansas are as
anxious to be politically honest as
the republicans have shown them
selves to be, there will not be the
slightest ripple over the organiza-
ton Of the house of representatives

a clear majority in that body after
conceding Haskell county to the OPP
position. The republicans will or

THE republican press of Kansas
and the republican party of Kan
sas believe in a fair ballot and an
honest count. When an opportu-
nifty was presented whereby it was
possible to count out one of the fu-
sion electors vigorous protest went
up against such proceedings. The
matter has been righted and the
certificate issued to Cabbell. In the
Haskell county case, where on ac-
count of the blunder of the county
clerk, in making his returns. re-
publican received a certificate Of
election when, in fact, the demo-
cratic candidate received a majority
of the votes, this will. doubtless, be
adjusted satisfactorily and Haskell
county will be represented in the
Legislature by democrat. The re-
publican party of the state has de-
manded that technicalities should
not be considered in these matters.
The sentiment of the party is fol-
honesty and fairness. We do not
care at this time to draw any invidi-
Gus comparisons with other parties,

WE have before us a letter from
Illinois. The writer wishes reliable
data as to the average per acre Of
wheat raised in Trego county for
the last ten years. That is just
what we purpose giving in connec-
ton with other interesting matters.
We will show what has been done
by good farmers in that length of
time and we will be greatly disap-
pointed if we cannot convince the
most skeptical that more acres Of
wheat can be grown by one man
and taken care of than in any other
country in the world, and that the
average yield per acre for number
Of years will equal that Of the best
wheat growing states in the Union,
and that all this can be done on land
that can be bought at the present
time for 1925 per acre.

VIZ wonder If our readers evel
consider the real labor required to
conduct a moderately successful
country newspaper. Because pa
per is published in small city in a
sparsely inhabited county many
think that it requires but little
ability and less work to assume the
responsibility as editor. You should
be undeceived. The editor who
achieves even moderate success in a
small city would. other things be
equal, be much more successful in a
larger field. The field from which
you CLEAN has much to do with your
harvest. News cannot be manufac-
tured at will, and you cannot reason
ably expect your paper to be as full
Of local happenings and newsy items
as though it were published in city
ten or twenty times as large. While
the field from which we gather is
small we are also limited in other
ways. Our financial support is
measured largely by the number Of
inhabitants contained in our several
counties and by the number of busi-
ness men in our cities. Here again
we are at a disadvantage. Our ex-
penses cannot exceed our income
without embarrassment and ulti-
mate ruin. We are not able to en-
ploy local editor, society reporter,
ETC., but ON the contrary must do
all this alone and unaided and, be-
sides, very often, must set our own
type and do our own press and job
work. By doing all this and exer-
cising the closest economy, most of
us succeed in earning a modest liv-
ing. What we have said will apply
to almost every paper published in
this congressional district. We ex-
change with nearly all of them and
we might mention several where
more real ability is manifested than
in most Of our metropolitan papers.
We have in our mind several pa
pers in this district whose editors
are worthy of a place on the staff of
our leading daily newspapers. ELM
mate from them the multitudious
cares incident to the publication of
a small country weekly and give
them special work to perform and
they might compete, creditably,
with the most successful. The edi-
tor of a country newspaper in a
small city or town does more hard
work than any other professional
man in the community and, we
might add as a rule, receives
less compensation. This is only in
tended for those who cannot under
stand why their home paper should
not be as interesting as those pub
lished in cities of 5000 or 10, 900 in
habitants. 1t is for the same reason
that our merchants do not carry as
large stock as they do in Kansas
City or Topeka. They would, doubt
less, be delighted to increase their
stock if they were able and it would
pay. Nothing would please us all
better than to increase our force and
thereby be enabled to publish a
much better paper if we had the
capital and it would pay. 1t is SIM
ply the application of a business
rule. There is scarcely an exchange
that comes TO our table that is not
really better than its financial sup
port warrants, and only by the hard
est work and economy is it made
possible.

THIS talk about Mrs. Lease for

anybody thinks that she will De
even seriously considered when the
halloting begins. Mrs. Lease is evil
IDENTIFY counting upon republican
support in which we think she will
be grievously disappointed. We are
willing to admit that Mary Ellen is
better man than some others who
aspire to that position even though
she wears petticoats and is entirely
destitute of hirsute adornments. We
do not oppose Mrs. Lease on account
of her sex but on account Of her
politics and, for that reason, do not
see why she should expect any as
sistance from republican members
Of the Legislature. Some may act
upon the theory that tout of several
evils you should choose the least"
but we do not think that applies
with much force in the selection of
a successor to Senator Plumb. There
doesn't seem to be any choice and,
so far as the election of a republic
can is concerned, it seems impossi-
BILE. But republicans can vote for
a republican just the same. They
can select the best and ablest man
and give him the compliment Of the
party's support. This will be a
greater and more enduring honor
to the recipient than the election
will be to the one who receives the
majority Of all the votes cast.

Ingenious Indian Basket Makers,

The Tarratines, or Penobscot In-
dams, who live on an island in tho
liver a dozen miles above Bangor.
Me-, arc the most ingenious of all
basket makers, and 10 chemist has
produced brighter colors than those
with which the children of the forest
adorn their wares. The baskets arc
made of thin strips of ash and maple,
the latter for rims and handles, and
much of the work Is interviewer with
fragrant sweet grass from tho salt
marshes along the coast. Alder is
stepped for pale red dye, white birch
bark for bright red, cedar boughs for
green, sumac for yellow, white maple
bark for black. A light solution of
maple yields purple instead of black.
Some of the Indian basket makers are
very prosperous. One family of four
cleared $1,000, in addition to their liy-
ing expenses, last year, and in the
parlor of their hou.e is a Brussels
carpet, upholstered furniture, q $500
piano, various expensive ornaments,
lace curtains, Catholic books and pic
lures, and set of Cooper's novels.
There are many lazy and drunken In
dams, but the goo Indians control
the affairs of the tribe, and are re-
spected by the white people.
