WHO WOULD Be MAYOR?
Candidates For That Important Office
Seem Very Shy About Appear
ing-Time For Work.

Inc most astonishing apathy seems
to characterize the local political stu
alton this spring. Few candidate
have been talked of, no primaries
held and no announcements made
March last year in the cour
house lola Republicans gathered anC
put up ticket which had been prac
ically selected at the primaries held
the previous evening in the same
building. As ten days notice must be
given of the holding of primaries, il
is getting time that something wa.
done if anything is to be done.
At last years. meeting there was
selected Republican, city central com
mittee of three members from eacf
ward, as follows;
First ward: c. c. Ausherman, L. L.
Northrup, e. c. Remsberg.
Second ward: w. c. Teats, Jacob
Gard and John Porter deceas ed.
Third ward: Oscar Toust Sam Gard
and G. l.. Whitaker.
Fourth ward: Glenn Kreuter, Harry
Thomas and Frank Travis.
In the hands of these gentlemen
seems to rest the question of whether
or not there shall be "a Republican
ticket in the field this spring. A re-
porter for the REGISTER has sought
vainly to learn the opinion of the in
dividuals composing the committee,
and the fact that no action toward
holding primaries has been taken is
taken by good many people to mean
that the Republicans as a party have
gone out of business in lola. And a
whole lot of people will be disap-
pointed if this is the case.
Later: Since this was put in type
"a call has been issued for a conven-
ton and primaries.
The chief interest centers about the
Office of mayor. He retains the ancient
honor and prestige and sanctity which
has ever chung to his robes and this
year added thereto the distinction of
appointing the city clerk, street com
missioner, marshal, assessor, attor-
ney, officials who have hitherto been
elected.
c. c. Ausherman has been sug-
gested, urged, and interviewed. He
politely but firmly declines to accept.
II. M, Miller has been talked of and
to, but he is not sure he will be here
and so declines
G. M. Nelson is being urged by his
friends but says he would rather get
out and whoop it up for another man.
h. w. Robinson has been named and
he, too, expresses reluctance to divide
his time between his business and the
arduous and thanIless duties of
mayor. The REGISTER has reason to
believe, however, that were the nomi-
nation rendered him by the Republic
cans of the city in a Wholesale manner
he would dotf his coat, accept the
responsibility and walk in and win
Mr.. E.. V. Lanyon positively de-
clines to speak to anyone who repeats
the question to him.
All of these men are good men, and
the business of the city would be
safely, carefully, economically and
honestly conducted by any one of
them. The important thing to do is
select man and not have the matter
delayed until it is too late to do any
thing.

Chastain bat he positively declined to

MARKET VALUE OF BRAINS

William Allen White, the friend
of boys, says: Tobacco is like
whiskey-it is growing in disfavor.
There is not in Emporia today a
single topper. In twenty five years
the use of tabacco will be tabooed as
whiskey is, and what is more, white
ribboners, reformers and political
agitators won't be responsible for it.
The responsibility will be in the
relentless competition of this age,
which casts upon the ashheap for
failure of every brain that is impaired
from any cause. This will be cruel
But it is inevitable, and the boys of
today should prepare for it. In the
day when they shall do battle for sue
cess, the man will coddle his brains
and body as sporting man coddles
his horse. In these days of active
competition it is the best brain that
wins, and the man who knocks out his
brains with tobacco aud whiskey is
knocked out of the contest for supre.
macy in any field of activity. When
a young man applies for a job in
this town he is practically renting his
brains. The market is full of brain
and no employer cares to hire dam
aged set when he can get a clean set
just as we'll. "-Atchison Globe.
The president of the Kansas
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Mrs. f. p. Hutchinson, of
Hutchinson, has given an official
statement of the press which she says
that the VIC. T. U. of Kansas has
not passed any resolution ofapproval
of Mrs. Carrie Nations methods,
and they do not believe this is the
best way to handle the saloons or
joints of Kansas. At the same time
if the question of the protection of
saloon property under the Kansas
Prohibitory law comes to the Supreme
Court in the form of test case the
Kansas w. c. y. U. with other tenn
perance societies and leading people
will lend hand in the full belief that
saloon property is outlawed under the !
existing constitutional prohibitory
law OF the state, and with no fear of a !
repeal of this law should the question |
be again submitted to thepeople. The !
proposition to present Mrs. Nation |
with gold medal, which the press
has reported quite generally, was
brought before the annual meeting of |
the State Temperance Union, which is |
an organization quite distinct from
the w. G. T. U. Mrs. Nation is a
me mber of one of the local unions of |
kansas, but as above indicated her
mo vements have not been planned or |
authorized by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, local, state or
National. She has received the en-
dorsement and cooperation in Kansas
of some w, C, Il. U. women, of many
ministers of the gospel and of numer-
Gus good people, and even those who
condemn her methods believe in her
sincerity of purpose.

Southwestern Advocate: "But it raises

AutoiStS in Hard Luck

Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Clark
Decker, the newly married couple
who are taking their wedding trip
in an automobile from Athens, n.
Y, to Beaumont, Texas, and stop
ped at Elkton enroute last week,
have since met with.hard luck.
From Mrs. Decker's talk with
reporter, it seems that the auto
people failed to make good time in
Maryland, which produced de-
pressing effect, and caused them to
say things uncomplimentary re-
gardiDg the States hospitality.
Mrs. Decker said:
"Our trip from New York to
Philadelphia was delightful, but
when we reached Elkton, Md, our
troubles began. We started for
Baltimore, 45 miles, an easy days
run, at l0:30 a. M, and enconnt-
cred sand so deep that when we
came to hills we had to take out all
our freight-we carry only big
grip and a basket-and start the
machine up without anything Or
anybody in it. Mr.. Decker would
go to the top of the bills and stop
it. Finally the sand got in the
bearings and the machine broke
down. l never dreamed that Amer
leans could be SO inhospitable as
we found those Maryland people.
Dozens drove past us as we stood
by the side of the road and never
stopped to ask what was the mat
ter. Finally night came on and we
tried to find a place to sleep. 1t
was fifteen miles to hotel of any
kind, and we offered farmer SIS
to let us sleep in his house. He
would not do it. Then we asked
permission to put our machine in
his barn and sleep in it there, offer
ing him the same SO. He declin
ed. We b ID to hunt around and
finally found a man who agreed for
the same old $15 to tow us with a
horse worth about $15 per pair, to
Baltimore. 1t was 25 miles, and
Mr.. Decker and I walked behind
the tow. We arrived there at
6 a. m."

Gold in Che Treasury. i.

gold at the beginning of the year on hand

the $3.50, ooo, 900 reserve, amounts TO
$a42, 900, 900, i'll addition to more than
$23o. 900, 900 against which certificates
have been issued +
A tota! Of $622, 900, 900 of gold piled i'll
the treasury vaults. $25o, 1000, 900 of this
gold has been placed in the treasury i'll
exchange for gold certificates, paper cur
rency, like the silver certificates, except
that The latter are for the common peo-
pies use: the gold certificates are only
for the gentlemen. They are issued III
20, so, 100, 500, 10, 900 dollar denolni-
nations and not intended to get into geu-
eral circulation. The gold certificate is
an aristocratic paper money, like the
Bank of England notes. There is no
sound reason why these gold certificates
should not be as the silver certificates, i'll
I, ,, 5, and 10 dollar notes, except that
they would go into general circulation
am could not be commanded by the
banks so readily, aud also that they
would add 20 the money in use in small
transactions aud be of more benefit TO the
people.
Let us look further at the financial
policy as ordered by Wall street aud car
ried out at Washington. There is $I5o..
oOo, 600 sacked up and kept in the treas
ury TO exchange for greenbacks, which
greenbacksare put away in the treasury,
never to be issued again unless some per-
son pays gold il exchange for them.
This transaction amounts to virtually
destroying the amount of tax represented
by the grcenbacks, for they cannot get
Into the treasury except by receiving
Shem as taxes or exchanging gold for
them which is collected as taxes, or bor-
Towed by issuing bonds for it, as Grover
the fat did, under the direction of 7. Pier
pont Morgan.
The $3.50, ,ooo, 900, the sacred" gold
reserve is kept to prevent the ''endless
chain" an invention Of Grover the fat
also. The people are paying perpetual
interest on this $50, 900 900 gold, lying
idle, and the Treasurer is paying over to
the natioual banks about 81, 600, 600 day
to keep the money in circulation, and
avoid contraction of the currency. The
banks do not pay one cent of interest for
this gratuitous deposit or loan without
interest.
These are some of the lovely features of
the gold standard aud national banking
system. 1t is no wonder that such a
financial system is so dear to the heart of
the banks and to the pockets OF the
people.
If the government availed itself of the
privileges accorded national banks, of
1oaning three time as much credit as il
held gold on deposit, it could Issue gold
notes on this $3.50, 600 eco of idle gold to
the amount OF $3.50, 600, 600. This issued
an small notes, as the silver certificates,
would go into circulation and stay in
circulation.
