WIPE OLD MOHLtR OUT,

Old Martin Mohler, who plays secre-
tary of agriculture for Kansas. and who
is paid by the state for such supposed
services, but who after all is but the Of
fetal of a corporation, went down to
Kansas City banquet of grain men the
other night, where he made a speech, in
which, among much other rot, oc-
Cured the following: ''Kansas and
Kansas City are linked together, the
prosperity of each depending on the
other" Old Mohler makes one very
tired. Ho was the only man that the
Pops couldn't displace. He is only a
state officer so far as drawing his salary
from the state is concerned. The people
of Kansas nor its officials have
any power over him, there
fore he can with impunity
puff a set of men who have system
aticalIy robbed the farmers of Kansas
by their mixing and grading and dock
ing for years. Besides, old Mohler said
what is not true when he declared that
Kansas depends on Kansas City for her
prosperity. Kansas City has been the
power over and above all others which
has defeated equitable railroad and
freight rates for the towns of Kansas.
Kansas City is and has been the states
greatest menace, which never can be-
come powerful so long as her CONNER
cial interests and finances are dominated
by a Missouri town, which town in
growing by absorption cripples her
victim. The next legislature of Kansas
ought to wipe out Mohier and wipe out
the organization which makes such an
imposition possible.

We know a German of middle age, who
is rated at half million. He laid the
foundation for his fortune by making
the best loaf Of bread in the market.
His success has never cooled the tenn
peralure of his oven. He still supplies
the trade with his ten cent loaf. The
day he arrived il America he, like
thousands of others, was out Of employ
ment. Jacob Dold was out of employ
ment the day before ne opened neat,
but unpretentious market in Buffalo.
The late Mr. Shaw, the great Tourist of
st. Louis. sold a few plants and cut flow
ers in the market place simply for the
sake of employment, or till he should
find something better. Sedgwick county
contains scores of weu-to do and wealthy
farmers who came to Kansas not many
years ago looking for work. Out of en-

admit in the midst of SO many oppor-

BURIAL OF LIVING PEOPLE.
A French Cardinals Startling Story of Pre-.
mature Funeral Services.

mature Funeral Services.
Cardinal Donnet, archbishop of Bor-
deaux, during a recent debate in the
French legislature concerning the ex-
tension of the space of twenty-fou
hours between the decease and. inter-
ment to forty eight hours. told a num-
ber of remarkable occurrences that
came under his own immediate obser-
vation. In the village in which he was
first stationed he had saved two per-
sons from being buried alive. One was
an old man who lived only twelve
hours after the time fixed for the inter
ment, but he was saved the horror of
dying in grave. The other was
man who was re stored TO
life and lived for many wears
afterward. In the case of young lady
at Bordeaux, who had just been pro-
nounced dead when the cardinal called,
ne perceived what he thought to be
signs of life, and succeeded in restoring
her. The last instance recited by Car
dinal Donnet caused a profound sensa
tion. A young priest was preaching in
a crowded church on sultry day in
July, 1926, when he was suddenly seized
with giddiness in the pulpit. He sank
to the floor apparently dead was taken
home and the funeral bell tolled. The
fact was the supposed dead man was
aware of every move and sound about
him. He had the horror of seeing the
doctor examine him. pronounce
him dead, inquire after his age.
birth. etc, and give permission
for his interment the following
morning. The body was measured for
coffin. His bishop recited the De
Profundus. Then came the young
priests mother. Her sorrowing voice
produced marvellous effect. and excit-
ed him to superhuman effort. Con-
tinuing, Cardinal Donnet said:
"Of what followed ] need say no
more than that the seemingly dead
man stood next day in the pulpit from
which he had been taken for dead.
That young priest, gentlemen, is the
same man who is now speaking before
you, and who, more than forty years
after that event. implores those in au-
thority not merely TO watch vigilantly
over the careful execution of the legal
prescriptions with regard TO inter
ments, but enact fresh ones, in order
to prevent the recurrence of irrcpara-

The renowned French physician, DR..
Bourgeois, reported the revival of a
young man, apparently drowned, who

THE DEAD KANSAN.

How quickly the public forgets ser.

hope to retain the gratitude Of his con-
stituency beyond the hour he ceases to
acceptably serve, even though ali that
such constituency may bo.st of advan-
tage OF of prosperity be due the wisdom
and unselfsh devotion of their depo>ed
servant. Our dispatches OF yesterday
morning, III a three-line paragraph, an

Phillips at his home in Salina. That
was all. The dispatch didn't SO much
as attach honorable" or Colonel" or
"ex-congressman" to his name. 1t sim.
ply read "W. A. Phillips" Not three
readers in five, probably, knew who
was alluded to OF what he had been to
Kansas.
William a. Phillips was very human,
and his belief in himself so marked AS to
render him Objectionable if not often
sive to some, but his standard of men
and measures was proportionately above
that maintained by the average public
man. While the stubborness of his
will in all things pertaining to his own
convictions and ambitions made him
enemies and often drove away would-be
adherents, he had a gentle. poetic side
that was plastic aud beautiful. For his
ideals no less than for his uncompromis-
ing principles Kansas owes him much.
Failing of attaining to the place in the
councils of the nation for which he con-
sidered himself particularly fitted, he
frittered away his power and influence
In the contests of field in which
he felt he ought to have been
the recognized giant. There was
a time when Kansas, her resources,
her efforts for freedom and the stalwart
type of her people were better known to
the world through the pen of William
A. Phillips than all other sources COM
bined, probably, simply because the pa
per he represented had a reading proper
tionately wide. Thirty eight years ago
asst October he made his first public ap-
Dearance in Kansas, although he had
been resident of Kansas and cores
pondent of the New York Tribune for
some time previous. From his pen came
he first history of Kansas, a book burn

lance to slavery. His book and letters
