A correspondent Of the Dodge City
says:

Globe-Republican says:
Western Kansas should have a United
States senator who belongs to this part OF the
state-One whose interests are Identical
with us. II IL not ut all probable that we
present solid front and make our wants
known in such manner that some conces-
sl0ns will be made TO US.
The correspondent Is eminently correct.
II the western representatives divide on
personal lines and throw up their hats and
vote for some other statesman Of the east,
the next United States senator will he under
no obligation, will feel no reason why he
should devote himself to the questions which
are OF vital Importance to western Kansas.
The distinguished gentlemen from the blue
stem districts have no sense Of the necesssl-
ties Of the short grass country. They look
upon irrigation as fad and while protest.
Ing that friendship ridlcule In private our
large and practical plans for converting the
praIries Of the west into small farms and
into large ranges. They are just naturally
not In sympathy with the people OF the
plains. They can't help 1t.
Western Kansas is really large enough for
State and Is surely big enough for sena-
tor. II western Kansas wants United
States senator the way to get one Is to 20
after the place hard and all together
Hutchinson News.
You are right and the Kansas man
who will do more for the western
part Of the State than any other is j.
X. Burton. He does not consider ir-
rigation "fad" because he is one Of
the nations leading advocates Of it as
a redeemer Of the semi-arid lands.
Further than that, all his investments
are in irrigation properties. He
knows western Kansas, Its needs, pos
sibilities and advantages. The river
towns may as well be taught that
they are not all Of Kansas. The
western two-thirds Of the State is In a
position to make itself felt and should
do 1t.

The St. Louis Republic serves
notice on the Democracy that unless

Judge McKay's advice to the peo-

The last Republican administration
paid off $3.50, 071,960 Of the public
debt, reducing it from 1914, lO6,22O

administration it has increased by
1852, 1927, 200, the total now standing
at $747,S6l, $3.50. There is argument
enough in these few figures to settle
the presidential contest Of 1896.

Senator PETER has made calcula-
ton which shows that the average
cost Of burying deceased congressman
is $4,000, "the value Of an American

truth to say that there have been cases
in which the people did not begrudge
the expense.
