WHAT TO DO WITH OLD RECORDS.

Among the troublesome questions of
to. day is how to take care of old rec
ords-such as are of special value be-
cause they contain matter that ought
to be preserved. The subject is called
up for discussion by the pressing need
of additional room for this class Of
matter In New York city. The Sun
says the old Registers Office "must

accommodating records, besides it is
"unsafe and unhealthy" The city

for the purpose, must be erected.

SOME IDEAS ON ORGANIZATION.

1t is conceded that all that is neces-

are asking and demanding is organiza-

onstrated beyond any possible doubt in
the recent campaign that the benfciaries
Of the present policy of government have
effected thorough organization. The
circulation Of gold standard literature
was by no means an insignificant part of
the effective work done. II is now an.

CumulatiOn of public documents is

There is, probably, not a State Capitol

ulsting msterislP The problem has
been partly solved by the Records and
Pension Bureaus at Washington. When
the pension roll began to grow so fast
as to tax the energies Of the clerks and
assistants In the War Department, 1t
was found that in order to systemstlze
the work of examining applications for
pensions and to make reasonable prog
ress in reaching conclusions, the thou
sands and millions Of reports from
army officers In camp, field and hOspi-
tai, made during four years of war In
which 3 million men were engaged,
should be examined, abbreviated and
COL densed. This work was begun ten
years ago and is now about completed.
About 40 million different documents
have been examined to complete the
work, and now, on q card three inches
by nine, is printed a brief but complete
history Of the military life Of every SOL
der and sailor Of the Union army.
The correctness of these card records
having been verified by competent and
disinterested persons specially ap-
pointed for that purpose, are taken to
be truthful and accurate by all depart
ments and officers of the government.
When the Pension committees Of Con-
gress, or when the Commissioners Of
Pensions, or any other person, asks for
the military record Of soldier, a GER
tifCste of what his card shows answers
the questions, and the originals are
therefore useless.
Why cannot a like method be adopted
with respect to all record 81 If experts
were employed to search the old papers
and extract from them what and only
what Is material and put it in form
convenient for reference and adapted
to economical filing, these records
might be legalized and the old docu--
ments destroyed or inclosed in COM
pact form and piled closely In 6re. proof
buildings if 1t be thought best to pre-
serve them in any way.

Senator Kings Friends Speak for Him.

Senator L. P. King would receive the
entire Endorsement Of Cowley county
as United State Senator. No man IN
this section of country was ever nearer
and dearer to the heart of his country
men.--ArkGnSdS city Democrat.
The Democrat has struck the key
note. Senator L. P. King is the man
to go. OF course we have warm place
in our heart for Senator PETER, but it
seems that there is some opposition to
his election, but We make the broad
assertion, il he is not first, we ask for
his place to be filled by Senator L, P.

maintained, that headquarters will be
kept open and that literature will be
kept in the hands. Of the people. This
sort of persistent effort on their part
will have its effect. 1t may not result
in the conversion Of any silver men, but
it will tend to strengthen gold men in
their belief.
The opposition to the gold standard
must do something to counteraot this
influence and do that which will make
inrosds in the gold forces. That this is
true is admitted. The question that all
silver men are trying to settle is, how
can this result be best brought about?
The greatest aid to the educational
work in 1890 was the Alliance. At the
country schoolhouse the farmers would
meet and discuss governmental affairs.
AS these discussions continued, the
people acquired more definite and accu-
rate knowledge of those things Of which
reliable information is so necessary
to intelligent citizenship. 1t seems
that great deal can now be accom-.
plished by the organization Of clubs and
lyceums where voters may meet at reg
ulRr intervals and discuss or hear dis
cussed questions upon which the people
should be better informed. These meet
ings need not be given up wholly to pol
itics. A few we'll selected reoitations
and some lively songs will interest all
and at the same time be a pleasing di.
version. In the country questions OF
interest to farmers in their every day
business might be proftsbly taken up.
An interchange of experiences is always
valuable. If plenty Of life is put into an
organization it will not be long until al
most any member will have neither lack
of ability nor hesitanCy about stating
his views in public. If a speaker Of
ability and experience could sbe secured
occasionally it would add to the interest
manifested. A plan should be devised
to interest the women. The mothers
are interested as deeply in the future
welfare and prosperity of this country
as anyone can be. Make the meetings
so interesting that they will take the
place of other less useful social gather
ings. Then the Republicans will want
to attend and chance for missionary
work is obtained. These organizations
can be conducted at practically no ex-
pense. They can do work Which will
make it impossible for the representa-
tives of the money class to ever carry
Kansas. They can by discussion of
State affairs aud especially the work OF
the Legislature this winter and the
adoption of resolutions voicing their
sentiments, keep the Representatives
and Senators informed as to their feel
ings and wishes in the matter Of legisla-
tion. There is room for an immense
amount Of work for such an organiza-
tion in every school district. Such or
ganizations would do an invaluable
work in educating the people.

the consolidation scheme. NOrUOn AOA-
lows with 2,186 votes which ls greater
than that Of ten districts in the eastern
part Of the State. Ellis, Rush, PsWnee,
Rocks, Ford and Rawlins have over LOU
votes each, Rocks leading with l,789.
It is true that nineteen of these thirty
eight counties cast less than 500 votes
each, of which number Stevens, Seward,
Haskell, Grant and Stanton fell below
200, which is the number a county must
cast to be entitled to a Representative.
Five Representative districts east OF this
territory fell below 1000 votes, one being
as low as 1851 and another asa.
Economy is a good thing if properly
applied. It is probably true that
county expenses would be reduced by
consolidation. But what would it cost
taxpayers to get to the county seat to
transact business? The experience OF
Phillips and other counties shows that
it is not a safe plan to pay taxes to an
agent. 1t is always better to pay direct
to the Treasurer and get his receipt
Taxpayers will not be satisfied with anV
other plan. Litigsnts would be made
bankrupt with the expense OF getting
into court. Mileage would pile up at
an astounding rate. Then it is probable
that endless legal complications would
result in the adjustment and satisfac-
tion Of the present bonded debts OF the
counties. County officers would be so
far removed from the people that they
would have >little opportunity to make
their acquaintance or be informed as to
their official conduct. 1t is also likely
that useless and tiresome county seat
fights would be preoipitated and in the
end conditions would be vastly worse
than now,
1t is quite probable that some consol-
idations should be made. None should
be made which will embrace large and
unwieldy areas. II has been suggested
that Morton, Stevens and Seward be
made into one county, that the same
should be done with Grant, Stanton and
Haskell, and with Hamilton and Kear-
ney, and with Wichita and Greeley.
This would wipe out five Representatives,
and give the first new county named
1886 votes, the second 355, third 742,
and the fourth 588. These figures are
based on the vote on Representative.
It is not necessary, however, to disOr-
ganize these counties in order to enforce
the provision in reference to representa-
tion in the Legislature. The constitu-
tion provides that when the vote falls
below the limit that the county shall be
attached to the Representative district
on it's eastern border. If the people Of
those counties are satisfied with present
conditions the Representative districts
should be reorganized and the counties
left as they are. 1t is not q material
matter to the Shawnee county taxpayers
whether Stevens county taxpayers are
overburdened with the expense Of
county government, providing the latter
are satisfied. 1t seems to the ADVOCATE
that the matter of county organization
should be handled in accordance with
the wishes Of the people Of localities sf-
fected, and special elections should be
held to permit them to pass on the ques-
tion.
