PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

Those who are SO fearful of government own.
ership should read the following, clipped from
the Yates Center Advocate:
In Australia on government owned railroads.
you can ride distance of 1000 miles for sc. so,
hrst-cass, while working men can ride six miles
for cents, IL miles for cents, 30 miles for
10 cents, and working-men receive from IS to
80 per cent more wages for eight hours of labor
than they are paid in this country for ten hours.
In Victoria, where these rates prevail, the net
income frcm the roads is sufficient to pay all the
federal taxes, which is another convining proof
of the possibility of government without tax
alton.
In Hungary, where the roads ale state owned
you can ride six miles for cent and since the
roads were bought by the government the mems
wages have doubled.
Belgium tell the same story-fares and freight
rates cut down one half, and wages doubled.
Yet the roads pay yearly revenue to the gov
ernment of $4,000 900. In the United States,
under private ownership, it is the other way
We have paid the railroads billions in land and
money, and are now paying them millions year.
ly for carrying the mail, and yet freight and
passenger rates are so eXtOrtiOnate.
In Germany you can ride four miles tor I
cent on the government owned lines. Yet
wages are over I25 per cent higher than they
were when the corporations owned them. and
during the last ten years the net profits have
increased Al per cent Last year the roads
paid the German government a net profit of
$24, ,ooo, 900.

Republican Editorials From the Lawrence
World.

St John did not stand any show of getting
the congr, ssional nomination III this district,
but he did sncoc d in alignlng himself with the
opposition, and hence forth is a mighty danger
Gus man.
The Republicans cannot carry Kentucky this
year for the reason that the Goebel law will be
used as the weapon of DemocracN, and it will be
Il more potent argument in favor of bed govern
ment than all the legitimate votes in the COM
monwcalth.
America is not in China for the purpose of
conquest, but ior the purpose Of keeping order.
Our mission is to help China put down a band
of outlaws. We will stay there until peace IS
restored We will have neither part or parcel
in the dismembernent of China, but when the
inevitable comes we will be on hand to protect
our commercial interests.
A party has nothing to lose 10y being radical.
Conservatism is all well enough, but the peop.e
expect action. The Republican party must not
promise, but it must perform. From business
staiia}point the country is doing well enough,
but as a political proposition we cannot afford
to let it 90 at that New conditions arising
that will have to be met, and the Republican
party cannot afford to settle down into
servative party.
and soon will be lost altogether What is
wanted is legislation to prevent the cornerlng OF
the market Antitrust legislation would equal
ize the price and save tie people millions on
sugar alone. The people cannot afford to let
the antitrust agitation rest. What is wanted
is concerted action The trust question is the
biggest one i'll the present campaign, and If 1t
is not fairly and squarely met by the Republic
ans, the opposition will md ought to win.
1t is poor sense for the Republicans to
pouice upon Webster Davis because he chang
ed his political faith. Mr. Davis had a right to
change, and is neither better nor worse than he
was efore. We have great habit OF beslm-
ing those who desert from one party to another.
In this way we strengthen the party whip and
add TO the power of the boss ii politics. The
independent voter is needed in our theory OF
government, and abuse will only make matters
worse Webster Davis will have greater OPP
portunites of hurting the Republican party by
being roundly abused. Several men of medi-
ocre ability have been made great by abuse
The American people love fair play, and they
are not slow to see and punish unjust abuse.

In conversation with prominent Populist a
few days ago, he said: Mason Peters, while he
is very quiet unassuming man, really accom-
plished more--got more bills passed and more
appropriations made-than any congressman
from Kansas has done for years. He just slips
around quietly among the members and gets in
his work while others are speaking or listening.
All the members liked Peters, and they helped
his bills through just to accommodate hm-as

GARNETT, KANSAS, JULY 27, 1000.
Ware IS Caught.

Eugene f. Ware was no! always against the
state of affairs in Kansas as he is now.
He has told the story of the Sunhower state
in song and oratory, and he has painted it in
glowing colors Whether the fact that he was
speaker of honor at Chicago has turned his
head or whether being elected president of the
State Historical Society is the cause, cannot be
determined offhand but in 1898 (that is not
long ago), and Leedy, Populist, was governor,
he was happy in the thought that he lived in
Kansas and was at peace with his fellow-men.
His sentiments, expressed in verse, at that time
do not tally with his "Hello, Kansas"
On New Years day, 1898, Mr. Ware made
calls Like everyone else, he wished to have
calling cards different than other people. He
succeeded. He had some cards with an origin
al verse printed on them. Each card had sill
yer dime on a pin stuck through the card. The
printing on the card was as follows:
PROSPERITY IN KANSAS
Prosperity has stay
send you here dime and pin;
dime-and pin is not too gay
Prosperity has come to stay.
Upon this happy New Years day.
The boom will win now begin
Prosperity has come to stay,
And so send a dime and pin.

LEADING men of the nation want Mckinley
to call an extra sessio of congress to take action
in the present Chinese trouble, but Hanna
doesn't want an cx'r session, and it will not be
called. Hanna says it might interfere with the
plans laid out by himself and Mckinley. True,
only congress has right to act in the matter,
according to the constitution, but Hanna and
Mac have repudaed the constitution, and they
propose to do what they please i'll the Chinese
matter. In other words, Mckinley is emperor
and Hanna his prime minister.

THE officers and men of the Kansas colored

latter part of that year, are fighting Stanley.

SanFrancisco to meet and greet the Twentieth

at all when this excellent colored regiment re-
turned to the state for muster While it
had done no active fighting, it had SO conducted
itself as to win the good will and commentator
of General Lenard Wood, the first colonel of
the Rough Riders, and who was then in COM
mand of the department of Santiago. The
boys think that they were sighted without
cause or reason. Then, when the regiment
was in service, and as it was returning, several
recommendations for promotions similar to those
made in the Twentieth Kansas were sent to
Governor Stanley, but they were all ignored,
while those from the Twentieth were honored

Sir Robert Hart.

One of the most interesting charac-
terS IN China for the past forty years
has been Sir Robert Hart, inspector
general of the imperial customs. In
many ways he has been the greatest
man in the empire. Though a Briton
born, the government of China made
him a mandarin of the first class, and.
as final mark of favor, ennobled his
ancestors for three generations.
Sir Robert joined the British con-
sular service poor and unknown, some
time in the fifties. The employment
of foreigners to collect the customs
duties at the treaty ports began In
1853 at Shanghai, and both the Chinese
and their foreign creditors were soon
convinced that there was no way Of
getting q fair revenue out OF the ports
except by dispensing with native col
lectors.
Hart took charge of the maritime
customs in 1861. The war indemnities
which China had to pay tfter her war
with the French and English made
necessary the continuance Of the serv-
ice In hands which would not steal the
passing money, so the foreign collec-
ton service was continued and was

its mahout and had ill-treated it, as
it turned out afterwards Without any

killed him instantly. and then escaped
into the jungle, without hurting any
one else, We had an elephant out with
