AS TO THE FUTURE.

name TO be used as a candidate for Congress in
this district and retires in favor of Funston; and
SAYS when he (FunstoD) steps down and out

is the proper spirit. both in Senator Scott and
Allen county; the question. however, with Q
large portion of the second district is when vii

Kindly inform us, Senator -OsdUdtOmte Graphic
Without knowing anything of Mr..
Funston's plans or wishes for the fut-
ure, we can have no authority, OF
course, to speak for him in this matter.
We do know however, that Mr.. Funs-
ton, in common with all his home
friends, is deeply grateful to the Re-
publicans of the District for the conf
dence they have so long and generous
ly bestowed upon him, and we know
that he is not disposed to ask for a
continuation of that confidence a
moment longer than it is freely given.
Mr.. Funston and his Allen county
friends are loyal, first of all, to the Re-
publican party, and when it can be
demonstrated that, in the Judgment of
the Republicans of the remainder of
the District, another man would make
a stronger and more certainly success
full candidate, there will be no en-
barrassment from Mr.. Funston's can
didacy.

PUBLIC HEADING ROOM.

To supply q recognized need for
wholesome association and entertain
ment for boys when outside of the
home, a room has been opened in the
REGISTER building as a reading room
for boys and men, /; nd which will be
supplied as fast and extensively as
possible with approved reading mat
ter, in the way of newspapers, maya
zines and books, and also with such
games as are suitable for home enter
tainment. The management of the
room is in the hands of "Young
Mems Guild" Differed as follows:
President, Adlai Ewing; vice pres,
James LETTERS; secretary, Willis Hen.
derson; treas. Chas Travis, and with
Bert Miller, Alfred Delaplaine, Rich
ard Ewing and Maynard Bush as
members of the executive committee.
Beyond conducting the reading
room, is the purpose of training for
good citizenship by cultivation Of the
right habits among the boys, by in
structive lectures, popular entertain
ments, and through such other agen-
cies as may prove efficient in accom-
plishing this end.
The room will be kept open to the
public under such rules as ordinarily
govern places of its character, and a
cordial invitation is extended to all
who desire to enjoy its comfort, quiet
and opportunities for healthful and
helpful pastime.

CHI "A 8 E. SCOTT
AS TO WOMEN SUFFRAGE.

A constitutional amendment will be
voted on at the next election the effect
of which will be TO confer upon the
women of Kansas all the political
rights and privileges which the men
now enjoy. The question is whether
this amendment shall be voted up or
down is very important one and
should be thoroughly discussed by
the people before election day arrives.
In order that those who have an opin-
ion on the subject have a hearing, the
REGISTER cordially invites contri-
buttons on either side of the question,
either for or against. The ladies es-
pecIally are urged to take part in this
discussion. If you desire the suffrage
tell us why. fyou do not want it,
tell us why. We want to hear from
the men, but We are sure expressions
of opinion from the ladies would be
read with the greatest interest.

FOR POSTMASTER, w. c. JONES.

The REGISTER is not debating to
this administration. 1t is not even
trying to run the Democratic party in
Allen county; or to pour oil on the
rusty and somewhat dismantled
Democratic machine of the city of
lola.
BUT
What is the matter with Colonel
William Clarke Jones for post master
at lola?
True, the Colonel started out for
bigger game.
But, equally true-to the lasting
shame of a basely ungrateful Admin
istration-he didn't get it.
True, again, the Colonel has en-
dorsed another man for the place.
But, equally true, circumstances
alter cases.
True, once more, it is rather small
job.
But, equally true, little job in the
hand is worth two or three big jobs in
the hands of the other fellow.
So we repeat
What is the matter with Col. w. C..
J. for p. NJ. at lola?
He would make a good one. Nobody
doubts that. If he did not want to
devote his whole time to the office, he
has bright and clever son who is
abundantly able to manage it for him.
And, better than all, his appoint
ment would put an end to the un-
seemly internecine struggle for the
place which has long been the grief
of all faithful and harmony-loving
Democrats.
Hence. for p. NJ, w, C., Jones.

CONCERNING THE SANTA FE TAN.

At its last meeting the city council
passed the following resolution:
WHEREAS the A. Il. & S. +. r. r
Company has made proposition to
the County Commissioners of Allen
county to pay the taxes assessed
against said company now due upon
the basis OF the assessment of the veal
1892. with the express understanding
and agreement that should a court OF
competent or appellate jurisdiction de-
eide that such tax should be paid upon
the assessment of the year 1898, then
in that case such Railroad Company
shall pay the balance of such tax.
Therefore; be it
ResolUed, by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil of the City of lola that they do re-
spectfully recommend that such propO-
sition be, by the Board of County
Commissioner accepted and that a
COPY of this resolution be filed with
said board. G.. w. MCNEIL,
w. A. COwAN, Mayor.
City Clerk.
The proposition which this resolu-
ton recommends be accepted seems
on it's face to be fair enough. But
there are one or two points about it
which should be carefully considered.
In the first place, there is now due
penalty for non-payment at the pro-
per time, amounting to nearly $500,
which is not referred to in the read s
proposition.
And in the second place the propo.
sition throws the burden of proof on
the county, which is not right. We
suppose nearly everybody believes
that the Santa Fe has been discrimi-
mated against In the matter of assess
ment. Nevertheless the presumption
of the law is that the assessment, hav-
ing been made by the proper authori-
ties, is right, and it should rest upon
the company to bring the action and
make proof to show it is wrong. The
county ought not to be compelled TO
bring action to recover what the law
already gives it. The fairer PROPOSE
ton, it seems to us, would be for the
commissioners to say to the railroad /:
PAY this county what is now due it,
and if the courts reduce your assess
ment we will then refund to you the
overpayment." That is what the
county does with private citizens. A
year probably never passes without
an error by which some tax payer is
over charged. The treasurer enforces
the collection just the same as if there
had been no error and the taxpayer
appeals to the Board which, upon
finding the complaint to be just, or
ders the treasurer to refund the
amount overpaid. 1t would seems as
if the Santa Fe road ought to be made
to submit to the same precedent.
