that our tax laws do not need to be

that Kansas banks are carrying de-
poSitS amounting to $50, 1000, 600 in
their vaults but when the assessors re-
turns came in the first figure was
dropped and 100000 appeared on
the tax rolls. In other words but one

the assessor. 1t would help the farm

a few months ago the country was
Mortified by the news that Gen. De
Wet, the commander-In-chief of the
Beers, had Shot and killed a peace
envoy who had gone to urge him to
abandon further resistance to Great
Britain. The statement, which came
from British, sources, of course. was so
specific and appeared to be based upon
such irrefragable evidence that the
public, loath as it was to believe such
course of action on the part of De
Wet possible, was at least compelled
to accept in silence the charges made
All will be gratified to know that the
charge was utterly; untrue, the evil
dence of this being in the fact that
Andres Vessels, the man alleged to
have been shot, arrived at Pretoria

been released from captivity by the
British troops. This information
comes from the British and may be
relied upon: AT time when Boer
farms are being burned anddestroyed
by the British, when thousands of
BOer women and children in reconcen-
trado camps are dying from improper
food and housing, with their beloved
republics ruined and lost to them, it
would not be surprising if the Beers
adopted desperate measures to defeat
their British oppressors; but through

Rural Mail Delivery and Parcels post.

Rural Mail Delivery and Parcels Post.
If farmers would reap the full ad-
vantage of mail delivery they should
demand the adoption of the pancel' s
post. There is no good reason why
they should not have it. 1t is a priv
ilege enjoyed by the people OF nearly
every other civilized country, and it
has not brought disaster nor higher
taxes to the country or to themselves.
If the reasonable sized express pack
age could be sent by mail to the
farmers door, at half OF one third
the charge he now pays after going to
the express Office after it, he would
begin to get taste of one of the eS-.
Sential good things that citizens of
other countries have had as regular
diet for many years. Such demand
would have a result that would be-
significant to the thought
full. Rural free delivery came easy.
1t interfered with no ''veSted right,
of any monopoliStic extortion; there
was therefore no opposition to it.
But an attempt to inaugurate the
parcels post system would be a horse
of another color. The bellowings of
the gored OK would be terrific; and
they would be echoed by every monoI
oily subsidized paper and politician in
the land. Make the demand, farmers,
just for the lesson it will teach, for
the revelation that will follow

When trust is unable to accom-
plish its purpose in one way it gener
ally devises some other scheme which
will work. Sometime ago remarkable
oil wells were discovered at Beau.
mont, Texas. The STANDARD Oil trust
was Immediately on hand to secure
control of the field but was unable to
do so without the expenditure of
larger sums of money than it was will
ing to pay. So cheaper way out
was devised. The wharves at Port
Arthur, Texas, were purchased to-
gether with 10000 acres of land in
that vicinity. The latter includes all
of the available sites for shipping
facilities. This would be the natural
export point for the Beaumont people
and they cannot now handle the oil
flowing from their own wells unless
they pay tribute to the Standard or
incur a far larger expense bill by
shipping to more distant seaport.
The Standard has control of the field.

veHtion.
1.-The Phillips county Sunday School
convention met in the Baptist church
in this city Monday forenoon. for a
session of two days.

was quite large. and veiy lively IL
terest was manifest in the proceed
ings.
Rev. Hageman OF this city opened
| the exercises with a song and praise
service. He was followed by the state
secretary, J. II. Engle, who gave in
very interesting manner his expert
ences in county conventions. His

useful observations. An informal :
ception was then held for the visiting
delegates, after which the convention
adjourned for dinner.
The afternoon session was opened
by song and devotional services by
Rev. Osman. State Secretary Engle
discussed the subject of Sunday
School Management. Ira White
followed with an interesting talk
upon Sunday school work.
The subject of primary Work" was
next taken up by Mrs. Tracy of Lo-
gan, who gave way after the subject
was introduced, to Mrs. PreuZner,
who gave most thorough outline of
methods of taking up the work of
teaching the Sunday school lesson,
first for the bible class and older pu-
pills, and next for the primary classes.
She outlined her talk on the black
board, and made it so logical and
psychological that the necessity for
paper preparation of the reacher in
Sunday school work was forcibly i'm
pressed upon every one present.
In the evening the state secretary
Mr.. Engle, gave a brief lecture, and |
was followed by another brief lee |
ture by Mrs. Preuzner.
Tuesday morning Rev. Hageman |
opened with a praise meeting.
The reports from the township |
presidents was then called for, and |
the following townships responded: |
Solomon, Freedom, Philli sburg,
Deer Creek, Granite, Glenwood, Sum-
ner.
The reports showed good interest," |
and quite excellent work in the town /
ships reported.
The normal drill by Secretary ]. H. |
Engle, was a first-class exercise and |
was very instructive.
The house to house visitation preS;- |
dent, Miss Brandepberg, read a most |
interesting report of her work in the |
country with recommendations as to /
how the work could be bettered.
In the afternoon Rev. Hageman
conducted the praise service. Mr..
Engle made short talk reporting
the work of the state convention.
Mrs. Preuzner occupied most Of the
afternoon with practical lesson to
primary teachers. Her work was
very helpful and was greatly appreci-
ated by the entire audience.
The reports of the officers were then
read and accepted. After the cleo
ton of officers the convention ad iourn-
ed. The following are the officers
elected for next year:
President, S. S. Hageman; secre-
tary. Miss Alta Rigg; recording secre-

with a view TO putting them on the mar

smack of the lips: ANTS are now re-
garded as a great delicacy, and the only
trouble is that there is not enough Of
them.''
1t is said that men working in cold CHI

A HISTORICAL PEOPLE.

The American people are getting to be
as hysterical as the French nation. One
day they worship public official and the
next they hang him in effigy.. Less hero
worshiping and just appreciation of the
ants will be immeasurably better for the
common veal, and. certainly more COM
patible with out character and dignity
as free people. No public official is so
and legitimate censure, and no citizen,
however humble his position in public
office or private life, should be made the
victim of false >accusati ton. We are often
too prone to charge corruption in official
circles, and yet too willing to wink at it
when it does exist. Can we not reach the
happy medium, giving approval when it is

MRS. ROOsEyELTs LIMIT FOR
COST OF WOMEN'S CLOTHES.

Is there not a good deal of the fakish
and nonsensicaI in all the newspaper
rubbish about Mrs. Roosevelt's declara-
ton. if she made it, that a woman can
dress in style on $500 a year. Thousands
of women dress handsomely on good
deal less, We remember the fuss made
about the expenditures in buying flowers
for the Vanderbilt, Astor, Brad1ey-Mar-
tin and other balls in New York. If the
money had not been sent to florists in all
the cities of the country, by these New
Yorker n1illionaires for floral decorations
they would have had the money instead
of the florists.
If the fashionable women of the country
should decide to adopt Mrs. Rcoseveit's
supposed proposition, it would pinch mer-
chants. dressmakers. sewing girls and In
jure business in a hundred ways. When
money is paid to another, even in extrav-
agance, it is not lost it merely passes
from one person to another, and the
party of the second part may need it.
The sewing girls need the money of the
rich, who are disposed to spend it for
fine clothes.
