The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Ia hardly worthy of the name OF citizen
In O government of the people.
The plain, naked truth is that as far
as the workers of this nation are con-
cerned, we are rapidly sinking to the
level OF the laboTers Of the older coun-
tries. We are told that the general
trend of all the world ds to get onto
a plane of production at lower cost.
That living expense are on descending
scale. and that we must adjust ourselves
10 such conditions. But what is to be
done with the statement that the wealth
OF the world is so rapidly increasing?
He who produces the wealth is being
steadily reduced in circumstances; his
class Is constantly growing in numbers.
Opposed to this the relative number OF
the immensely rich is decreasing with
the increase Of the total wealth OF the
world.
Public ownership Of all natural oppor-
tunlties is the only remedy. Shear the
landlord of his ability to wiring the life
blood from the veins of labor. Refuse
to renew the charters Of corporations as
rapidly as they expire, and when they
violate their terms annul them. Ma
tionalize all of the natural sources Of
wealth by condemnation and payment
for them to their owners. Let all work
of strictly mOnopolistic nature be con-
trolled by the government, and give the
people direct legislation, so that they
may speak directly on all public ques-
tions. In this line lies the avertion OF
the New Times prophecy.

Lincoln Beacon: Probably as hard a
wOrkingman of his years as there ls IN
Lincoln county is Hon. William Baker
who is nearing his 68th birthday. Mr..
Baker personally oversees his two farms,
and the habits of lifetime prior to his
election to Congress reassert themselves
continually. His son Edgar leaves the
family home in Lincoln at 6 O'Clock
a. m. every working day to take cnarge
of the 243 head of cattle which he is
feeding on the ranch west OF town.
Hugoton (Kas.) Hermes (Rep): A
writer in the Topeka Capital recently
urged that the Republican party consent
that the prohibition amendment to the
constitution of Kansas be resubmitted
to vote of the people. And there are
many good reasons why the Republlcan
party should welcome contest on That
issue. It is the party that put proh1bt-
lion in the organic law and is the party
that has enacted every statute looking 10
it's enforcement. The party is just as
much prohibition party as 1t ever was,
and the result of a campaign on that
Issue is not even doubtful. The moral
effect of such campaign would be felt
for years and the laws for the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic would be en-
forced in communities where 1t is now
a dead letter. The friends of prohibition
need stirring up.

Correspondence.
The Future of the American Farmer,

Editor Advocate and News: New
Time for November, commenting on an
article in the Knoxville Tribune rela-
tive to American farming, says:
"In less than ten years farming Will
be revolutionized. The small farmer
will be crowded to the wall His mort
gagged farm will pass into the hands
of a farming syndicate, and II he is
lucky he may be permitted to work for
small wages on the land he once owned.
This is not q prediction-7it is a fact"
What can the New Time mean by such
stuff as this? Does not it's editor know
that prosperity" with all that the term
means, has arrived? That the small
farmer" has been, and always must be,
the stone wall against which the waves
of adversely beat in vain? One would
think that the agricultural class Would
soon be in the same condition as that
of the day laborers and miners of this
country-reduced to such a state that
those who constitute it can only exist
by sufferance.
On second thought, your correspond
ent is afraid that there may be too much
ground for this ominous prophecy The
proposition that he who controls the
land of the earth may dictate the terms
upon which all other people may be
allowed to live, has never yet been re-
futed to his satisfaction, and being a
"smaIl farmer" himself, and believing
that the yeomanry has been the strong
right arm, so to speak, of every nation
that has existed up to date, he Is con-
strained to ask himself what will be the
future Of this country under a continu-
alton of present conditions?
It is a fact to-day, that many, very
many farmers are giving up the strug-
gle in our country, and flocking into the
towns, and to the centers Of employment,
simply because they believe that the
ability to earn wage sufficient to keep
the wolf of starvation from the door
is better than to be worried about taxes
and interest, crop failures and prices
that are below the cost of production,
not realizing that they never can lay
up a penny for old age; not stopping
to consider that the education which
their children ought to have can never
be given them because they must become
"hewers Of wood and drawers OF water
as soon as they are strong enough to
do a modicum of manual labor. All OF
these things have to be learned by bit
ter experience, and IL the lessons sc
learned are not needed by the first gener-
ations, the world need not be surprised
II, after the people have suffered all that
humanity can suffer, they arise In their
sheer despair and destroy all that ex-
lists of what we call vested right.
How shall such state, which has
come upon each and all Of the dead ma.
tions of the world be averted? Only by
the people awaking from their sleep oi
self-satisfied conservatism. The man OF
woman who, because he or she Is going
along fairly and comfortably in life, will
not look belond the narrow confines oi
personal environment, when the ethica
atmosphere may be SO easily pierced by
the mental eye Of any one who will see

Prohibition and Metropolitan Police System,
Editor Advocate and News: Il think
your suggestion that the metropolitan
police should be abolished at once, Is
correct. It has caused dissensiOn and
crimination long enough. It is de-
nial Of the theory Of self-government.
It was designed to facilitate the en-
forcement Of prohibition, and signally
failed. Put star on every man, club
in every hand, and the iron rule of the
moral law-prohibition-as it appears
in Kansas statutes, would be broken,
laughed at and defied Governor Leedy
ought to abolish the police boards, after
giving them timely notice to close up
their business and accounts.
Prohibition in Kansas has been prolific
of many phases Of political and legalcun-
ming. The decisions OF our courts are
in evidence along this line, and the de-
yious course of some Of our politicians
of all parties emphasizes the universal
tendency of men to drink something
besides water and temperance beverages,
and to color their theories OF government
accordingly. The last issue of the Ad-
yocate and News contained the following
decision by the Courts Of Appeals OF
the northern department:
"a levy of execution by a Sheriff or
Constable on Intoxicating liquors, and
sale Hereunder, is in violation of the
letter and spirit of the constitution and
statutes of this State, and cannot be
maintained by the courts"
It does not appear from this decision
whether the liquor in question was kept
by druggist for legitimate trade, or by
a saloon keeper in violation Of law.
Whisky is personal property. and the
subject of larceny, punishable by I'M
prisonment in Jail or penitentiary, and
IL a poor, ignorant mortal steals some
of the liquor, even from joint keeper,
he is prosecuted and punished. l know
of Just such case, and the joint keeper
was not molested by the minions OF the
law! Such things breed evil to the
State. But, could not a Sheriff levy on
a stock OF liquors kept by a druggist,
and advertise the stock for sale for
medical purposes% OF course the Sher-
If could not get permit--but just think
of it! Whisky is property, protected In
the hands of the owner who holds 1t and
uses it for lawful purposes, and why
should not such property be subject to
judicial sale for debt? The law ought
to be amended so as to provide for judi
cial sales Of liquors.
The people of this State will sometime
learn that they cannot impose upon
others rule of conduct which they
themselves violate without fear OF thu
law, and rule, too, which has beater
in vain against the tempest Of human
passion, taste and habit, since Moses
received the commandments from OF
high. LINUS s. WEBB.

disposal, as the only pos
sible means of relief. 1t
would be best, even in the
most prosperous times, to
use these means to the best
advantage and for all they
are worth; but now it is our
imperative duty to do so,
Let us lift our beloved state

has heretofore journeyed,

If every one who has to
use a wagon will stop and
count the cost he is forced
to incur in that one item
alone on account OF bad
,E,ads he will no longer say
a five mill road tax will be
a burden. 1t is estimated
that an ordinary wagon
such as is usually used by
our farmers, will last from
three to FIVE years on our
present roaGs, an d with
good roads they will last
iroM eight to ten years or as
long again. A wagon costs
SIS. With our present
roads the farmer pays out
S110 every ten years TOR
wagons, when he would only
pay SIS if we had good roads,
Thus every ten years at
