Smith Has a Rabbit Bill.

f. Dumont Smith. senator-elect from
Edwards county, will introduce a bill
in the Legislature this winter to estab-

says that 10000. 900 pounds OF jack
rabbit meat go to waste in Kansas an
nually because it is not good to eat,
but his experiments show that the
meat of an animalthat is part Belgian
hare and part jack rabbit is delicious.

Thd republicans are rapidly getting
into line on the trust questio on and are
talking supply and demand. In this
connection IL seems rather curious
that the demand for steel billets
should have become so great immedi-
ateiy after election as to double the
price. 1t also seems curious that the
demand for salt should have COM
PEELED an overworked trust to more
than double the price of this COM
modify Immediately after election. It
again strikes us with overpowering
force that the demand" for meat by
an overfed public should have caused
an advance of 20 per cent in this ''lux-
ury" as soon AS the election result
WAS known. We are led to infer that
part of the calamity which would
have followed the election of Mr..
Bryan would have been that these
sudden advances in trust products
would not have taken place. In fact
the reverse is probably true for in
their eff orts to escape a just retribu-
tion at the hands of an outraged peO-
pie prices of trust products would
more than likely have gone lower in
the eff ort to disarm resentment We
are now told that advancing prices
and prosperity go hand in hand. We
are all willing to admit this provided
the advancing prices touch what we
have TO sell as well as what we are
compelled to buy. Trust made pros

The School HISTORY.

| N1CPOuIy ldSG week Q6VOted q
column ard a half of it's valuable
space TO an arrangement of the school
history used at present in our schools.
A concerted effort is being made by
the republican press of the state to
work up prejudice against the books
adopted by the text book commission
three years ago, in order that the
coming legislature will have, an ex-
cuse Tor repeating the text book law
that has saved half million dollars
TO The people of Kansas, and again
turn the state over to the mercy of the
book trust.
The Mercury's first complaint is
that Taylor's history does not teach
that war is holy and honorable, AS
1t suits the present needs of the repub-
llcan party To ill the heads of the
young with ideas of military renown
ana the glories of conquest, this fact
is peculiarly obnoxious. The author
OF the history makes this statement in
the preface: ''Men are perceiving
that war is brutal, even if sometimes
a necessary method of adjusting ma
tlonai differences, and that it is a
very barren national life which pro-
ooces nothing better than the repeti-
tlOn OF military deeds" WHY apy
]ect TO such sentiment we fail to see.
The article further asserts that the
history devotes but seventeen pages to
the civil war and all of Lincoln's ad-
mlnlstration, and nineteen to Cleave-
lands first administration.
Eltner the Mercury man has never
examined the book, or is attempting
to deceive his readers for the fact re-
MAINS that nineteen pages of solid
reading are devoted to the civil war.
and ten and one half to Cleaveland's
first administration.
Again the article saws the G.. A, r.
suffers repeatedly at the hands of the
author, and that he shows his venom
toward that patriotic organization.
The only place in the book where
the q. A. r. is referred to is on page
5Ol where, after speaking of the pur-
poses or the organization the author
says: They take charge of the sol
emn ceremonies OF Decoration Day.
foOr and sick comrades are cared for
In life and buried ia death. The Wild
ows and orphans of soldiers have a
neIpIul hand extended to them.''
Will the Mercury man please point
out tne sentence containing the wen
Om?''
1t is further asserted that the author
Is unfair to the republican party and
accuses it of striving simply for Of
flee. If the editor of the Mercury
would take the trouble to read the
book, he would find that the republic
an party is not accused of striving for
Office any more than the democratic
party. The author says that in the
campaigns of 1876. 1880, 1884 and 1888
oOth parties cared more for the spoils
OF victory than for the supremacy of
principles, which is a fact admitted
by all candid students of history.
1t fact the Mercury attack is full of
errors and misstatements and is writ
zen solely from prejudiced, partisan
viewpoint. j.
