Bob Burdette gives Senator Petit
grew Of Dakota another excuse for
blushing. Burdette says: II read
how this people have made their
name respected in every land, their
flag to be saluted on every sea; read
how her statesmen sit in the council
Of the nations and her scholars are
revered in every hall Of learning.
And so | read on until came down
to the history Of Dakota and there |
read that man up in Aberdeen
wanted everybody to know that he
was ashamed Of his country! God
save the mark! Oh, well, my boy,
l once saw a Kentucky mare, beauti.
full as a dream, victor in hundred
races, sucking a mule colt. And |
have no doubt that sometimes that
mule went hee.hawing around the
pasture, bawling that he was ashamed
Of his mother"

McKinley's Message.

Never perhaps was presidents
message presented to a more pros
porous country than on the occasion
Of the reading Of McKinley's address
to congress Tuesday morning. The
message is sensible, businesslike
document and places before the peo.
pie the leading issues OF the day in a
businesslike manner. His unequiv-
ocal utterance In favor Of strict reg
ulations OF trusts, bis advice to
strengthen the financial laws so that
the gold standard may be permanent
ly maintained will meet with general
approval. On the great subject Of
colonization and the government Of
the nations new wards strong and
sensible words are used. The presi-
dent says the future government Of
the Philippines rests with the con.
gress OF the United States. "The
islands lie under the shadow Of our
flag; they are ours by every title Of
law and equity; they cannot be aban.
doned. When peace shall be restored
it will be the duty Of congress to con-
struct plan Of government which
shall establish and maintain freedom
and order in the Philippines" He
believes that as fast as peace is estab-
lished in portions Of the islands mu-
nicipal governments should be formed
and asserts that until congress shall
have made known its will the presi-
dent will use the authority vested in
him by the constitution to uphold the
sovereignty Of the United States in
these distant islands and In all other
places where our flag rightiully floats.
This is the American idea and is the
sentiment Of a large majority Of the
people.
The presidents message is strong
and patriotic document and will COM
mend itself to the nation.

Mckinley Proud Of En-.

John Steele, who did such excellent
work as the X. c. Stars Philippine
correspondent writes ircm Washing
ton Of call he made on the president.
81 am glad to see member Of the
Kansas regiment, said the president.
1.-The regiment did splendid service
and deserves great credit"
81 am panied to learn Of the inter-
nal discussions" he continued. 1.-THE
regiment has made too good record
to have it marred by iactional dis
putes. But then we had the same
thing in the Civil war and I suppose
we will always have, although 1t
seems to me there is little real cause
for internal wrangling in your regl.
ment." Then President Mckinley
began cross fire Of questions con-
corning the Luzon career Of the regi-
ment, not stopping until the entrance
Of Admiral Dewey brought the inter.
view to close. Mr.. Steele says:
81 left the White House with the
pleasing thought in my mind that
the knockers may strain and labor,
but that the reputation Of the regi.
ment is as secure as the lasting hills"

Congressman From Utah Cant Take
HiS Seat.

His Seat.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congress.
man Roberts Of Utah against whom
has been such protest because Of
his having three wives will not take
bis seat in congress. When the roll
was called Monday Mr.. Taylor, Re-
publican, Of Ohio favored keeping Mr..
Roberts out until it was declared, il
ever, he was fit to come in. Mr..
Richardson, Democrat, Of Tennessee
though he disclaimed acting as the
agent or mouthpiece Of his party
advocated the seating Of Mr.. Roberts,
and the investigation Of the charges
against him afterward. The matter
was discussed for the most part in
very good temper and Mr.. Taylor's
resolution was adopted 1902 to 80,
something over 10 to l. The adop-
tion Of the resolution excludes Mr..
Roberts from a seat in the Hall of
Representatives until the committee
reports and the house passes upon
bis case. 1t is unlikely that Roberts
will be permitted to serve.

Kansas Men in Heaven.

A lawyer from Emporia was telling
the following story the other day:
A Kansas man had died and gone to
heaven. On account Of his unusually
good entrance credential and his be-
havior after reaching the celestial
country, he was appointed leader Of
the choir, which place had filled
creditably for some time. But one
day kind Of lonesome feeling came
over him and he wandered along by
the jasper walls, wishing that be
could see what was going on in Kan
sas. As he came to the gate Of the
city he saw St. Peter with his tele.
scope focused on distant object
which the melancholy chorister sup.
posed to be the earth. So he asked
to borrow the telescope, and Of course
the request was granted. He looked
for long time and then asked St.
Peter to look as he directed. "Do you
see a little green spot down there
about twice as long east and west as
1t is north and southp" he asked. OF
course st. Peter had noticed the spot,
and he answered aflirmatively. well,
that's Kansas. Now do you see a
smaller spot about twice as long
north and south as 1t is east and west
about the center OF the spot you have
been looking atP Well, that's my
county, the best county in that good
old state" A homesick feeling came
and marked the already disconsolate
eatures OF the Kansas man. Now
81. Peter was nothing il he was not
sympathetic, and when the man sug-
gested that he wished he could have
q few weeks leave Of absence the
gate-keeper said that as his record
was good he could 60 back to Kansas
for four weeks. And the man start
ed of through space. By this time a
crowd had gathered and as St. Peter
turned and saw the anxious and ex.
pectant looks on the faces OF those
who had assembled, he said: mo,
this thing is going to have to stop
right here. II | would let everybody
who wanted to do SO 60 back to Kan
sas, we wouldn't have enough people
left here to sing the morning
anthem

4 Funston Story,

Among the many anecdotes Of the
dash and cool courage Of the Twen-
tieth Kansas boys on the firing line,
now daily recited by the men who
were active participants, a private in
a detail, the other day, Of many stir
ring incidents and recollections, said
that when the command first sailed
he had little use for Fred Funston,
whom he considered a martinez, but
now no one OF all that thousand more
admired that officer than himself.
One instance he gave OF General
Funston's utter lack Of physical fear.
They were on firing line near
Caloocan, where the Mausers were
flying all too thick. Colonel Fred
ruhs'oh was pacing up and down q
ridge-like elevation, watching the
enemy and directing the Kansans.
Seeing or believing that the situation
was growing unwarrantably warm,
he gave the command for all hands to
lie down and to lie close. But the
boys in their eagerness to see where
the bullets were coming from, and to
get a chance shot, kept poking their
heads up in great numbers. Becom.
ing impatient and fearing that some
Of them would be needlessly killed,
Funston who was still striding back
and forth, fully exposed, cried out;
"Sav, there, duck your heads, damn
you. I'm doing this looking!"

In q reminiscent mood, Colonel M.
M. Murdoch tells OF some Of the ieats
Of oratory performed by Jim Lane.
In closing he says: "Among all the
later public mon and orators Of Kan
sas, Ralph Burton more resembles
Lane as a speaker than any other.
Burton has more Of the polish and
method Of the school but less Of the
dash and subtlety Of Lane. Burton
temporizes where Lane would have
tumultuously plunged in. But in
many other respects on the platform
Burton is like Lane"

Two Yiaxs ofa Dollar.

A dollar never saw the day wher
1t would buy more food, clothing,
transportation, and other necessariel
OF life than now. On the other hand,
a dollar never saw the day when II
could earn less than now. These are
points for the consideration Of those
who discuss the relations OF capital
and labor. The change in the rate
OF interest on money has come grad
ually, but it is one Of the most re.
markable events in financial history.
1t is easily enough explained, now it
is here, but nobody could have pre-
dicted it. 1t amounts to cutting the
rate in two within quarter OF cen.
fury. For example, a good many
people will remember that in 1873
the railroad stations between here
and New York were placarded with
the advertisements Of the Harlem
River 4 Port Chester Railroad seven
per cent bonds, guaranteed by the
main road. These had to be very ex-
tensively advertised to secure their
sale at par. Today il the same road
wanted to sell three one-hali tcents 1t
could get slight premium for them.
That indicates a shrinkage Of one.
half. 1t means that il in 1873 a man
had $4,000 in cash to invest, he
could have bought these bonds and
got an income Of 81, 400 year. Now
the man who had $4,000 invest
could get but 500 from the same Sc.
curty. There are funds lin hands
OF trustees that have not been
changed in twenty years, and are
worth now double what they were
worth at the beginning, and that do
not yield any more income. That is
another way Of showing that in pro-
ductiveness it takes two dollars now
to equal one twenty-five years ago.
The dollar cannot earn what it
used to. Time was when ten per
cent was not considered high interest,
when our savings banks paid deposit
ors seven per cent, and when the
average discount rate at the banks
was seven per cent. Today the saw
ings banks are squeezing out four per
cent to depositors, and discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY Of making the rate three
and one. half.
But while the dollar cannot earn
what 1t once could, it can buy vastly
more Of what is needed. At the
time alluded to for the interest COM
parison, coal was at 80 ton, now
$3.50; flour was at 1915 to $3.50 a
barrel, now $6.2 %; sugar was at 10
cents a pound, now A cents; hay was
at 1928 ton, now slS.
A days work put into getting
bread, clothes and similar necessaries
will produce more than twenty-five
years ago; but days work saved up
and turned into capital will not earn
more than half the money it used to.
