We WOULD like to call the at
tention to those dear, good trust
confding souls who during the
campaign hooted at the idea Of
imperialism, to the Spooner bill
now pending in Congress. The
provisions of the bill would dele
gate the power of legislating for
the Philippines, a power which
very many of our best constitu-
tional lawyers in all parties say
does not even rest in Congress,
to the president. Should this
bill pass it would have precisely
the same effect as if he should be
declared emperor OF the Philip
pines. The addition Of the title
could carry no more power with
it. Great Britain never equaled
this proposition in all;her dealings
with the colonies. The bill may
not pass but it now seems to
nave the administration forces
behind it. 1t also has the trusts,
syndicates and corporations
that want concessions in the
islands for exploiting the people
and the public lands. Hutchin-
son Gazette.

were when a boy. We do it our
selves" Ofcourse he does-and
about any other old tn ing that
he happens to think about. But
once in a while he tells the truth,
when having a fit of remorse.
For instance he says: CATER
a man has been on a drunk or
goes broke play ing poker, he
generally has an attack Of moral
ity and swears off all his bad
habits" But the trouble with
Joey he don't stay swore off.
But frequent jags and the cigar
cite habit have badly demoral-
lied his balance wheel as the fol-
lows pen-picture Of himself de-
monstrates: ga man may be a
lion in society, a sheep on the
battle field, a bear at home and:
a puppy in general. :" Joey, you
may "enjoy little fun," and
there are others. An editors
life is an open book, whether he
realizes it or not, and each page
is closely noticed by the public;
his actions speak louder than
words, and should not be neon
sistent or ridiculous. Sg@- :
If George Washington were
alive today what would he think
OF the way his people have fol-
lowed his teachings? How much
OF an imperialist and expansion
ist do you suppose the Father of
Our Country was? Would he, if
alive today, be carrying on a
war Of determination against a
far away people who are Fitting
for their own country? Would
he sanction the expending of
millions upon millions Of money
which is paid in taxes by the
whole people for the purpose OF
extending trade for few of the
people?
In LESS than a week the pay of
the Kansas legislature, and the
army Of republican chair-warm-
ers called house and senate en-
ployees, will stop. Then the
private snap at public expense
will be busted, and a lot of fell
lows will be back among the
people telling why they made
such fools of themselves. And
there'll be mourning-in Topek a,
we mean.
The provision made by the
state legislature, for a vote next
fall on the question of whether
or not the people of Kansas
want to elect all county officers
every two years-instead Of half
one year and half the next, as we
; now do-is a good referendum
idea, even if the republicans did
do it. County elections once
every two years are often
enough.
ACCORDING to Secretary Coburn,

Do You wonder why the re-
publican papers of the 7th con-
gressional district are now slob-
bering over Oleo Long much
more than over the libertine,
Burton? Let me tell you: It
has just been given out that
Burton will not mix in the nam
ing of postmasters, but to save
himself the trouble of redeeming
any of the thousands OF promises
he has made, will let the con-
gressmen farm out the p. O. ap-
pointments. Therefore the re-
publican editors who want to
write P. NJ. after their names
and that means most all of them
have contracted the taffy habit
and are smearing the oleo advo-
cate with great gobs oft each
week. And some of the same
fellows a year Or less ago were
gaffing Long to beat the band.
MEN ARE like hogs, however
distasteful this may sound to the
hogs, says an exchange. When
one hog gets an ear OF corn every
other hog will trot along behind
and squeal and is ready for a
bite, but let the hog get his head
in a crack, and every son of a
SOW will jump on and tear him
to pieces, just SO with men. AS
long as a man is prospering and
has money, he can't keep friends
off with bail bat. The moment
he is unfortunate and his wealth
gone, he is not only snubbed by
his former alleged friends, but
they begin to do him all the harm
possible. When man starts
up grade the world falls behind
and pushes. But when he starts
down grade the world steps to
one side and greases the track

into large cistern pool in the rear of
the family home while romping about
with it's playmates. Neighbors heard
the cries of the little one, rushed to it's
assistance and tried to rescue it, as the
cistern contained two and a half feet
OF water. A man engaged in plastering
n new house near by, secured a ladder,
and soon had the little one on terra
firma. Great excitement prevailed in
the community. When taken in the
house nothing could induce the child
to speak, SO badly was it frightened.
