MANY PRA1R1E CHICKENS.
More in Western Kansas Than For
Years.

Salina, Aug. 30.-According to reports
received from several points in western
Kansas more prairie chickens will be
found this year than for many years past.
This is the almost universal opinion ex-
west
The reason advanced in the majority of
instances for the presence of the large
number of chickens IS that the extreme
dry weather of the present summer has
been conducive to the breeding of the
birds. Another argument advanced is
that this year hunters have been good
boys" and have refrained from interfering
with the birds out of season Hunting
parties from Topeka and Kansas City
are now quite frequent in Ellis Trego
and other counties along the Union Pa

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant IN the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the FIRST little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
Pearance-or a swollen gland IN the
breast, or some other part of the body
gives the FIRST warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nentiy all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

can forces In one Of the greatest, II
not the greatest, naval battles In the

very great pity that the politicians and

dlscrediting and abusing a man who
has served his country so faithfully
as Winfield Scott schley has served
the United States of America.
Admiral SIMPSONS friends should
be satisfied with the fact that their
favorite obtained the prize money won
in battle in which he did not partici-
pate. and that his face is to grace a
medal that Is to commemorate fight
in which he did not take part. 1t
should be sufficient for them that Ad-
miral Schley has never made any claim
as to his part in the great battle in
Santiago Bay; that he has been con-
tent for the newspaper correspondents
and other witnesses to give the facts
to the American people. The difficulty
is that these statements have convinced
the American people that Schley was
the real hero of the day and entitled
to all the honors at the hands of n
grateful people, even though he is
denied the cmoluments in the way Of
prize money and medals.

When the first news reached the

that Admiral Sampson was the real

to the fact that Admiral Sampson sent
to the president message In which
he said that "the fleet under my com.
mand" offered the American nation
the Santiago victory as n Fourth of
July present. But as soon as the news.

maintained Il dignified silence.

OHIO TAXATION.
(Toledo Bee.)

While the present mlXed-up and en-
tirely inadequate system of taxation
of Ohio is prominently before the peo-
of Toledo it may prove interesting to
quote the Democratic state platform
Oh the matter Of taxation of public
service corporations:
"A!l public service corporations shall
be required by law TO make sworn pub
OF visitation and public report shall
be conferred upon the proper state and
local auditing officers to the end that
the true value of the privileges held
by these corporations shall be made
plain to the people.
steam and electric railroad and 9th
er corporations possessing public fran
chises shall be assessed in the same
proportion to their saleable value as
arc farms and city real estate"
The tax laws of Ohio were made
years ago and do not meet the require
mcnts Of existing conditions. There
is general feeling among the people
that public service corporations do not
now pay their just share of taxes, and
that leads to demand that whatever
legislation can be constitutionally en-
acted to make possible fafrer equali-
should be enacted as soon as possible
! 1t Is well that this Is made an issue
in this campaign, for 1t means that
there will be full discussion of Ohio
| tax laws this year; and that means
| that when the General Assembly con
venes the people will be alive to the
Importance Of changing the tax laws
and that they will demand action by
the Legislature.
AS matters now stand boards Of
equalization are prohibited by law
from sitting long enough to perform
the work expected of them. If it b'
necessary to insure equal rights to al
and special privileges to none these
boards should sit the year around, ant
there should be public official whose
duty should be to see that the rights
OF all of the people are protected.
Publicity is cure for many existing
evils, and when all public service cor
porations are required by law to make
sworn public reports, and "the power
and duty OF visitation and public re-
port Is conferred upon the proper state
and local auditing officers" there will
be less evasion Of taxes by corpora
tons and more equal distribution
of the burdens of taxation.
