sTATE INSURANCE..

The man who develops the idea Of
State insurance 80 1t shall be adopted
in Kansas will erect a monument for
himself. 1t Is matter for State con-
troll that can come about in compare
lively easy and simple manner. It does
not involve question Of purchase, nor
Is there any intricate machinery con-
nected with the establishment of the
system. 1t would simply mean the en-
largement Of the duties Of the Insurance
Superintendent; the county agents are
already provided for, as Mr.. Little sug-
gests in one of the county officers.
Mr.. Llttle's ideas on the subject are
the result of much exhaustive study and
research. He has been investigating for
several years and what he believes Is
founded ON thorough knowledge. SUI
perlntendent McNall supports what Mr..
Little says, and other members Of the
Populist party who have looked into
the subject are strongly In favor of 1t.
IT Is essentially Populist doctrine and
the party should make 1t an issue for
the next State campaign. Put 1t in the
platform.
II Is not a difficult matter to trace out
large benefits that would come from
State insurance. The State would not
get the large profits that the insurance
companies make at present, because the
lower charges would divert them to the
pOlicy-hOlder. There would be q large
enough sum, however, to make the in
suranCe bureau one OF the very first
among the paying enterprises under
State control. State insurance would
be'a step toward lower taxes. The citi-
zen would therefore know that the
money paid in for his insurance would
be spent in his interest instead OF en-
riching private Golfers. He would not
have insurance forced upon him; IL he
desires private insurance at a much
higher rate when State insurance is In
force he will be given perfect freedom
Of choice Here is where the advocates
OF State control OF insurance have
strong fighting advantage. They can
put an unassailable array OF strong ar
guments before the taxpayer. When it
is pointed out that there will be an OBJ
Vious reduction In his taxes, both pub
lie and private, the average citizen Is
not long In deciding which side OF the
fence he is ON. 1t does not take a great
amount Of reflection to see that State
insurance will do this.
State insurance ds a very practicable
possibility. It's agitation in this State
is timely. 1t has numerous advocates
among Republicans as well as in the
Popullst ranks, and even the political
manipulators see the policy OF getting
It behind them as party policy. II the
Popullsts do not take 1t up soon they
will wake up to find that the Republi-
cans have stolen their thunder

The remarks of the Topeka Capital
about the output of the penitentiary
coal mine will have less than the usual
amount of attention. The miners un-
derstand that the output has been kept
down to the lowest limit, that it has not
cut into their market and that 1t would
not help them any, as far as the coal
companies are concerned, if there were
no penitentiary mine at all.

Kansas.
THE FIGHT FOR THE MINERS RIGHTS.
When a man is grinding out his life
for the benefit of corporation he is
very liable to become anxious for an
opportunity to enjoy the benefits which
are supposed to be part of life in this
free country. 1t is a wonder that the
miners Of southeastern Kansas have
been patient enough to refrain from an
uprising against the robbery which is
constantly practiced by the mine own
ers. They are treated outrageously and
bled outright in dozen different ways.
The scrip system is violation OF princi-
pies of liberty, preying upon the man
who by his work at best earns little
enough to provide his family with the
neCessaries of life. The companies en-
force 1t in order to add to the incomes
OF those who are able to live in palatial
homes by squeezing money out of the
workers who occupy two-rOom houses
on company land. After deducting an
extOrtionate rent the operators take out
fees for medical service, of which the
company doctor receives about one
eighth, and for the services of a black
smith, In sharpening picks, etc., and the
blacksmith whacks up-inVoluntarlly-
with the company on about the same
basis as the doctor is paid There are
also other methods by which the COM
panies steal thousands of dollars every
month from the employee who can at
most hope TO be credited with the mock
cry Of earning" $25 to $35 a month.
But men are cheap. The miners work
Is laborious and extremely hazardous,
but 1t makes no difference to the COM
pany when he is worn out. They are
at no additional loss. They are careful,
in mines where machinery is used for
getting out coal, to keep the machinery
In the best order, for it cost money to
replace machine. But there are always
enough unemployed workmen at hand
to make 1t foolish In "a business sense
to think of worrying about man. And
no company has yet been found with
the slightest taint of foOlishness; the
men may starve and their wives and
children may die-other workers will
come forward.
The miners have fighting friends in
the present State administration. Gov
ernor Leedy and Attorney General Boyle
have been through the mill themselves
they have come up to their present
positions from the ranks of the COM
mon wage-earner, and they appreciate
the position OF the coal miners. The
anti-scrip and screen cases are set for
hearing before the Court of Appeals
March II, and Attorney General Boyle
has been active in pushing it as rapidly
as possible. 1t will come on and the
law will be enforced with the utmost
speed, so that, unless an adverse de-
cision is made next month on technical
grounds the miners of Kansas at least
will get some Justice. Mr.. Boyle has
said, II regard this question as of even
greater Importance than any that has
yet come up since the present admins
tratiOn went into power" That Is his
attitude on the matter, and he may be
depended ON to fight. for the miners

ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.
COMMUNICATIONS Believe Their
Fatherlnnd Is Misrepresented.

The Tribune (German) yesterday published
the following editorial:
1T is quite obvious that false reports are
sent out from Madrid and Paris for the sole
purpose to create in the United States a
sentiment unfavorable to Germany. Only
yesterday the Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Mail telegraphed 10 his paper
that number of Spanish war vessels which
were recently destitute of armament have
been supplied with Krupp guns and also
with all the necessaries, including German
artillerists.
THE insinuation concealed I'm this bit of
news needs no explanation. Certain as il
is that Germany has observed the strictest
neutrality and will not violate 1t In the flu
ture either; there will, nevertheless. be
thousands who believe this news although
the Kaiser and his ministers have repeated
Is expressed themselves unequivocally i'm re-
epect to Germany's neutral position
This matter is very dlsagreeable to us
COMMUNICATIONS, for q friendly feeling
between the United States and Germany Is
desirable to US. It is difficult TO say what
can be done. It is not to be expected that
the German government will publish eX
PLANTATION and disavowal In every instance
in which a lie is launched into the news
papers. We suppose We can do nothing but
whenever an opportunity offers to- refer TO
these false news as lies, published for the
particular purpose to create inimical
sentiment against Germany.

sire for an Anglo-American alliance, so that
England may have Americas aid in her in

UNUSUAL DIVORCE DEMANDS.
Child Bride Who Finds the Husband
Is Different,


The divorce complaints of Daisv A. Har
per against Henry L. Harper, filed yester-
day in the Superior Court, is literary gem.
The plaintiff has been married since Feb
ruary, 1858. She avers,that at the time of her
marriage she was an inexperienced school
girl of less than sixteen years. With no we'll
defined idea of what marriage meant, she
was induced to become the defendants wife
after very short acquaintance. 1t was but
short time after the wedding, she AYERS,
that she found she had made a mistake
that the man she had married was in every
way unsuited to her.
1t appears from the complaint that before
the marriage Harper. with oily tongue and

the fair Pauline, made rosy promises and
painted fine picturest' of his intentions to
support his child bride and make her happy
pictures have faded out and have become
unreal One of her chief objections to the

husband Harper has proved himself to be

nature. She says he has accused her
wrongfully of evil things; that he is only

and waited on The plaintiff begs the court
to set her free with her maiden name, Daisy

GROVE GOES OUT.
County superintendent Ousted by the
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court yesterday decided
against Lewis Grove, who has been holding
the office of superintendent of schools of
Jay county. When the election occurred
twelve votes were cast by the twelve town
ship trustees. Six were for Grove and six
for another candidate. One hundred and
thirty ballots were taken. and then it was
discovered that one of the township trus-
tees, who was voting for the other candi-
date, had been appointed postmaster of the
town of Bryant. The supporters of Grove
declared that trustee lost his right to vote
and that there were only eleven votes cast
and that six of them went to Grove. and
that Grove was. therefore, elected by rea-
The case was taken to the Circuit Court
and Grove was declared elected. The Su-
preme Court reverses that decision, holding
to vote, and that there was really no cleo
ton.
