My friends, / want you to remember the
lesson that is taught you by the roll call:
the constitution makes you vote on the
rOll.call 80 that the people will know
what you do. / want you to carry that
with you, and if every legislator will
remember the principle involved in the
roll-cRll and will act everywhere just as
be does upon roll-call, he will have moth

can come to him and say: IF you don't
do so and so will tell what l know
about you.'
"My friends, appreciate the privilege
Of being permitted to speak to you. They

hobby which have is the desire to see
this principle Of equality before the law,
which was taught us by our forefathers,
by Jefferson and Jackson among the
Democrats and by Lincoln and the early
RepublicRns-mY desire is to see that
principle made part Of the statute law

The School Book Question.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-The subject Of
popular education is the paramount sub.
ject in a free country. ] will state briefly
the results Of my thoughts in the matter
Of school books, which may set others to
thinking on this line and important SUBJ
ject.
First-We want the very best books
that can be had. The best is always
cheapest.
Second-We want State uniformity Of
books, SO that family moving from one
part Of the State to another may carry
their books with them and not be COM
PEELED to buy new set every time they
move.
Third--We want books at less cost
than at present. They can be bought
at wholesale for q term Of years, at not
exceeding 40 or so per cent. ON present
prices.
In view Of these desired advantages,
some advocate State publication. l think
that plan unsatisfactory for the follow
ing reasons: Q) The cost Of first. class
plant, or establishment, for the several
classes of books needed, would be enor-
nous; too great, in my opinion, to be un-
dertaken in these hard times, so long as
a better way is open to us. (2) The
authorship of books would be costly, and,
at first, experimental and as q conse-
Quence imperfect.
But the power to publish, and the
proposition TO do 90 as . last resort,

cost, or without cost, as the law may di-
rect.
In either case the people of the State
save fully One-half of the present cost on
books, and are saved from useless pur-
chases by the removal of families; and
also from the disadvantages and annoy
ances Of the present haphazsrd, frsg-
mentary condition of things.

A BETTER PLAN.

First--Let the State Superintendent
Of Public instruction advertise for bids
asking publishers 10 furnish to the State
Of Kansas for a period Of five years the
classified list Of books mentioned in the
advertisement, separate bids to be made
for each class of books mentioned in the
list. Each bidder to bid on one class or
more at his option. Quality of mate
rial, style Of manufactu re, binding, etc.,
to be satisfactory.
second--Let the State Superintendent
Of Public Instruction, the Governor OF
the State and the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme court be a committee to accept
or reject bids.
Third-When bids are accepted and
books are ready, let the State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction make sep
arate orders for books for each county in
the State, on the respective contracting
houses. Let the first set Of orders Oe
approximately for six mor.ths' supply,
additional orders to be made from time
to time as books are needed.
Fourth-Let the books be paid for by
the State at the agreed price, within
sixty days after books have been re-
Ceived.
Fifth--Letthe books be in the custody
Of the several County Superintendent Of
Schools, to be sold at cost, the proceeds
to be used to reimburse the outlay Of
the State.
In this way think we can Q) obtain
the very best books published; (2) we
can at once enjoy the profits and benefit
of State uniformity Of books; and (3) we
can save over so per cent. in the first
cost Of books, with an additional saving
in the use Of same books when fsmi-
lies move to other parts Of the State.
This general plan, also, may be fol-
lowed in making school books free to the
children, il that plan is thought best.
This plan authorizes a wholesale pur-
chase by the State in competitive
market for the benefit Of the people,
The books may then 90 to the people at

of foreign goods which were ordered

Gov. SCoFIELD. on Thursday, vetoed
eight of the bills left to his tender mer-
cy by the legislature. The governors
veto mill is in great working order
when without any apparent effort he
!, can dispose of such grist as that in SO
short a time. Some of the most impor
tant measures passed by the legislature
are included in this list of death blows.
One was the Davidson bill requiring
sleeping car companies to pay license
Zee of 4 per cent on their gross earn
ings. Another was the Davidson bill
for the taxation of express companies.
/ Each of these bills was killed on the
ground that aye and no votes were not
called on them as required by the con-
stitutIon on bills levying taxes. The
governor, however, did not wreck ev-
erything he had on hand, since he
signed the Davis corrupt practices bill,
the Taylor department store bill, the
McGillivray antitrust bill, the bill re-
ducing the salaries of the state capital
employees and the measure for the sale
of the state park lands.

THURSDAY, MAY 6.
The End of the War.

IN spite Of the reported battles be-
tween the Greeks and the Turks in
Thessaly and Epirus the Greco-Turk-
ish war is undoubtedly at an end. And
sad to say the Greeks are irrevocably
whipped Conclusions may be tried in
one more great and decisive battle, but
we believe this to be extremely doubt
full. The current of public opinion has
set in toward a formal peace; and all
that might have resulted from the clash
of arms in changing the map OF Europe
may be said to be outside of the possi-
bilities now The war has been a ter
rife blow to Greece. 1t has not been
one declared by the king for his own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT nor by the parliament
TO further It's ends. 1t was a peoples
war, born of the hatred borne power
which has never ceased its indigniCies,
expressions and bullyings for the past
500 years. The fates seem exceedingly
cruel in their irony in allowing the
Turk to keep the upper hand. In a
large measure this will assist the Turk
. IN his insOlence and he is already in
tolerable The war has been declared
upon both sides not to be for the ac-
QUESTION Of territory, but if reports are
to be relied upon the sultan wants a
slice of Greece to settle matters up. 1t
: is reported that he will accept as the
basis of peace:
g The withdrawal of the Greek troops
from Crete and the re- establishment of
the frontier of 1881; Greece to be ex-
cluded from all the advantages of capt.
>tulatiOns, and to pay indemnity. :
The result of such terms would be to
deprive Greece of nearly the whole Of
Thessaly, which was added to Greece
after the Russo Turkish war.

the remedy is an excellent one, and do
not hesitate to recommend it to the
suffering"
TO postpone at such vital time as
this regulating the nerves and purify
ing the blood is serious mistake.
Men and women distressed by nervous
troubles or the effects of impure blood
cannot afford now to lose day before
taking advantage of Paine's celery
compound.
In order to avoid disappointment
accept nothing but Paine's celery com
pound. A clerk who tries to sell
something else than what people ask
for is evidently not DISTINGUISHED. He
has an eye to profits more than to the
gOod of customers.
There can be nosubstitutefo for Palne's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something be-
sides Paine's celery compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for.
The strongest Endorsement ever re-
ceived for this great spring remedy
and no remedy ever compared With
Paine's celery compound in the char
acter and the number OF the witnesses
to its eficiency-the strongest indorse-
meut it ever received did not over
estimate or exaggerate in the least its
unrivalled power of making people,

THERE seems to be an inclination on
the part of some of the papers to score
Gov. Scofeld for vetoing the wage
exemption bill. The bill proposed the
reduction of the laborers' wages from
$50 to $40. In our estimation the gov

is no reason now why it should be
lowered.

REPORT ON OUR HARBoR.
Continued from page Is

tIOntlnueQ from Page
If this plan is carried out the south
pier should be kept ahead of the north
and careful observations taken in order
to determine the effect upon the bar
and the ultimate length of piers re-
quired.
1t is difficult to estimate the import
ance tocommerce of providing a u foot
channel at Kenosha. Kenosha is q
city of about $500 inhabitants, situated
ON the western shore of Lake Michigan
80 miles north OF Chicago, 10 miles
south of Racine, city of $4,000 inhab-
itants, and 80 miles south of Milwau
kee, 100000 inhabitants. Chicago
aid Milwaukee have excellent harbors,
as we'll as harbors of refuge. A branch
of the Chicago Northwestern railway
runs directly west from Kenosha, and
the main line of the same railway runs
through it north and south, furnishing
facilities for through shipments west,
north, and south. 1t would certainly,
therefore, be of great advantage to
commerce to have as great a depth at
Kenosha as at other points on the lake,
but it is doubtful in my mind whether
commerce would make use of these
facilities when better ones exist at
points so near as Chicago and Milwau-
kee The commercial statistics for the
calendar year ending December 81,
1895, show the arrival and departure
of 185 vessels from this port, the ap-
proximate value Of exports and imports
by way of the harhor 81, 13l 900 and
approximate value of same by all ways
of transportation $31, 100000 This
commerce is probably entirely local or
confined to the immediate vicinity.
While but little reliance can DE
placed upon the commercial statistics
of the various lake harbors, they form
the means of obtaining conception OF
the relative amounts of business. The
commercial statistics for the year end
ing December 81, 1895, place Kenosha
at number thirteen in the list Of har-
bors along the west shore of Lake
Michigan.
The area of the interior harbor at
Kenosha is small, and any enlarge
ment of it would be expensive; the
present harbor facilities are by no
means all in use, and it appears that a
depth of Is feet at the entrance will be
ample fors years. 1t would be more
advisable, consequently, for the gener-
al government to complete the present
project, and then wait for several years
to see whether commerce will make
use of the present facilities or demand
a greater depth, before entering upon
a new project which is not now clearly
seen to be necessary.
| am of the opinion that the present
interests of the commerce. involved do
not justify the proposed improvement.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bad
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,,
or bad effects following use Of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate The mild and the eXtraor
binary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

as bad shape as some people seem to
think. The treasurer's report shows

the amount to be collected from saloon
licenses, about $4,000, and we have a
total of about $4,000, while the ex-
penses are estimated to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The water
