Lawrence journal; The meanes,
thing the Republican house in Kansas
did at the late session was to attempt
to cut in halves the price the printer
gets for his legal work. There was
not a man on the floor Of the house
but was sent there by the influence Of
his local paper or papers. The re-
ward they gave was TO attempt to
starve those papers. There would be
some reason for the attempt were the
rates too high. But they are not
And when the time comes for elect
ing representatives again, every
newspaper in the state should aid in
the defeat of every legislator who
voted for the bill If they do not do
that, then they deserve to have their
printing charges cut in halves, or
taken from them entirely. And by
the way, it was Popnlst senate that
defeated this infamous measure.

Il Pays to Have Q Congressman.

Salina is realizing what On adyan-
tage it Is to have q wideawake, level
headed man as congressman instead
Of a do-nothing failure. Three years
ago an appropriation was made for q
$4,000 public building at Salina, but
nothing has been done toward build
ing it. The people Of Salina appealed
to Congressman Davis to do some
thing, and they also made similar
appeals to Senator's PETER and Martin
but all in vain.
Soon after Mr., Cslderhead, the new
member from this district, reached
Washington be called ut the depart
ment and went over the case. No
one at the department seemed to re-
member anything about the appro-
priation for a building at Salina, and
it was intimated by one Of the officials
that Mr.. Calderhead must be talking
through his hat. But, after the usual
departmental delay and great effort
in looking over the records it was
discovered that there Is an available
appropriation for the Salipa building
When this fact had been established
in the minds Of the new officials Mr.
Calderhead declared that it would be
a good plan to proceed at once to the
construction Of building. As the
plans have been on file for over two
years there is to be no further delay
and bids will be opened for the work
on the 12th o. next month.

Of their confounded conservatism and

Of their COMPOUNDED conservatism and
conceit, thinking nothing like them
in this world and theirs the one
country. On the other hand it may
spoil the Jap and make him 50 con-
ceited that there is no standing him,
and a white man does not like conceit
from colored man in any part Of the
world. The Japanese have now for
many years been thinking themselves
as good as any white man. When a
white man hits them, they have to
take this white man before his own
consul and try him instead Of before a
Jap magistrate. They think the con-
suls favor them, which know they
do, except you are an unfortunate
Britisher-then one gets justice per-
haps worse than from the Japanese

Wheat Prices.

The upward squirt in wheat has
caused many men and many papers
to take it as a symptom Of a decided
and permanent revival in prices. The
Kansas City journal very sensibly
corrects this opinion by saying: The
activity in the wheat market that has
marked the past few days cannot be
taken as an indication that the pro-
ducer has any immediate show for
getting profitable price for the COM
ing crop, but it is indicative Of better
things. The spectators have seen
the evidences Of decrease in the
oyerplus and have hopes that the con-
tinued consumption will keep on at q
rate that will do away with it alto
gether. In case Of any calamity to
the crops of the great wheat produc'
ing countries outside the United
States there would be a chance for 0
profitable season for our own farmers,
but it will not pay them to plant fol
that small chance.
The probabilities are that few
cents at most will cover the advance
that the American wheat raiser will
realize for the crop Of the coming
summer. The spectators will ga on
buying and selling just the same
whether the price be large or small.
1t will not profit the farmer to follow
their plan Of stalking all on uncertain
| futllres.
