The Lawrence Journal comments
on the South Dickinson roar against
assessing pedigreed stock double that
Of scrubs. 1t says; "This is most
remarkable contention. II it Is good,
the owner Of the thoroughbred that
he holds at a thousand dollars, ought
to pay no more taxes than the man
who has the scrub pony with cookie
bur tail and gnawsd of name that
would sell at auction for about thirty
cents. Under this theory the man
with the mansion would pay no more
taxes than the man with the howell.
Their theory is that the higher rate
OF taxation tends to discourage the
improvement OF cattle. By the same
token, the fact that q man has to pay
more taxes will discourage him from
trying to become wealthy. This
theory is a new and startling one.

Yunstons Straight talk.

General Funston talked straight
talk about the Philippines at the
Lotos club the other night. Az .
subsequent speaker. George h.
Daniels, said, be "told us more truths
and showed more common sense
than the snti-imperialists ever did In
their lives" And be said nothing
truer than this: 1.-THE war since
January, 1900, has gone on not be-
cause the Filipinos had their hear $
in the fight, but simply because they
we're kept up by the utterances OF q
lot Of misguided, misinformed people
in the United States" The only
fault to be found with this sentence
is that it is too mild. Not all the
American deserters in the United
States are misguided and misin'
formed. Some Of them are reckless
chatterers who write and talk merely
to crafty their own Unsuitable self
conceit, and others are scoundrels,
who, knowing the right, choose the
wrong, because they are partisans
first and Americans last. II Rochter

No Wonder We Are Good.

The highly moral character Of the
people Of Dickinson county is par.
TALLY explained by the discovery by
Prof. Bailey Of the state university
that this county is underlaid with
section Of the Dead Sea and the gas
we'll has proved it. For several weeks
the well has been flowing with arte-
sian force and the influence Of the
water has been gently dissipated
upon the winter breezes, exerting a
soothing effect upon the citizens. 1t
has been noticed that a specially de-
vout spirit has been manifested during
the winter; the police Judge has only
three cases month (they come reg.
ularly); the justices Of the peace are
starving to death and the district
court session lasts less than a week,
being mostly devoted to divorce cases.
In fact the indications are chat this
was originally the Garden Of Eden
and a section Of it is coming to the
surface in the marvellous water that
bubbles over at the gas we'll. We are
not sure that il is not mistake to
dig the well deeper-the drill may 60
through to less desirable material.

Annex Cuba Now.

We heartily endorse the Leaven
worth Times position that the thing
to do is annex Cuba. 1t says There
is but one satisfactory solution OF the
fight being made in congress over the
proposed Cuban legislation and that
is the annexation Of the island. This
was stated as a possibility in the
caucus discussions Of Tuesday. 1t
should not be a possibility, 1t should
be fact and the sooner it is accom-.
plished the better satisfied will be the
people Of the country as we'll as the
intelligent leaders among the Cubans
themselves. 1t Is stated without
contradiction that the ascendancy into
office Of the newly elected president
Of the island will be but the signal
for continual brigandsge as under
Spanish rule. II this be SO the
American government can not afford
to relinquish its protection at any
time In the near future and the sooner
the island is made a part Of the
United States the sooner will order
be insured, prosperity be the portion
Of the people Of the island and the
fight between the two sugar trusts
settled for all time so far as congress
and Cuban legislation concerned.
