H. S. GIvLER, Cha

Mr.. Craddock, the Democratic can
didate for governor, has started in to
make himself the paramount issue in
the coming campaign. He claims
that he should be elected governor
because he will reduce taxation. He
has written letters and printed PAM
phlets setting forth the theory that
the people should vote for him and
save money. Unfortunately for Mr..
Craddock, he has record. A little
over year ago he was elected mayor
of Kansas City, Kan, by just such
t Xix and promises as he is making
now to the people of the state at
large. He has been mayor for over a
year. In these letters and circulars,
Mr.. Craddock attempts to show that
fore, ought to be governor, but the
records in the city clerks office at
Kansas City, Kan. very strik1ngly
contradicts these claims.
Mr.. Craddock's administration has
not only increased the assessed valua-
tion of property in Kansas City, Kan,
but has actually increased the tax
levy for the operating expenses of the
CITY, He has tried to fool the people
by neglecting to levy for sinking-fund
and for judgment fund, thereby leav-
ing uncared for large Indebtedness
of that city which bears high rate
of interest Any citizea who has to
do even with school district affairs
knows that the failure to make levy
to provide for debt does not pay the
debt. The revenue raised in Kansas
City, Kan, under the first year of
Mayor Craddock's administration was
over 5000 greater than the year pre-
ceding- Mr.. Craddock spent not only
lis but Increased the floating indebt-
edness of the city So, 354. 90. Most of
this increased expense was made in
the police department., which cost
about $1,000 more under him than the
year preceding. He enlarged the DO
lice force to make places for Demo-
cratic hapgers-on, and. in this connec-
tiOn, it should be added that when he
increased the police force he increas-
ed the number of licensed joints, one
of the latter being located within one
block and half of the high-school
building, and this in the face of the

WONDERFUL CHURCH ORGAN


The godly but slows going city of
Philadelphia boasts the possession
of the most remarkable church organ
ever constructed. 1t is now in use
in St. Marks Episcopal Church and
was built from the design of Minton
Pyne, organist of the church, whose
special aim was to realize the
greatest number of varieties of
musical tone coloring compatible
with recognized proportion and
perfect balance.
The instrument consists of nine
distinct organs distributed over
four manuals and pedals-two great
organs, two choirs, swell, solo,
echo and wave and chancel pedal.
All are supplied with wind under
varied pressure, giving each family
OF stops the most favorable con-
dition of speech.
Each division is perfect organ.
The swell, inclosed in a three-inch
box, is amply provided with the
adjunct of modern string effect.
The choir organ is unique. 1t is
divided into two sections, similar.
to the great organ. The first is a
replica of the sixteenth century
organ and stands on the screen
dividing the chancel from the lady
chapel on the south side. 1t is
inclosed in carved case of black
oak, probably unequaled in design
and beauty of detail. The second
division is inclosed in a thick swell
box on the north side, the two divis-
ions being under control of the choir
manual in the main organ, and in
addition are comfortable from a
portable keyboard for exclusive use
in the lady chapel services.
The solo and echo organs are to
be placed in the nave. The solo
contains a large open diapason,
especially winded, and an eightfoot
powerful harmonic flute. It's also
provided with a fine specimen ofthe
heavy wind tuba SO celebrated in
the cathedral organ of st. Paul's,
London. 4
The reeds of the whole instrumerH
are unusual in scale and treatment
differing essentially from those used
in other organs in this country.
The main keyboard is in the
choir, on the north side. The keys
are specially cut ivory and the
draw stops, working in ivory, and
the pushing in jambs of dark
Spanish mahogany, are of ebony
with solid ivory heads engraved in
old English lettering. The pitch
of the organ is international. The
organ will be ready for use next
month and the final cost will be
about $50,000.-Chicago Chronicle.

A MYSTERIOUS LIGHT


WHAT seemed To bcwiIdered house
holders q sudden breaking loose of am
unrestrained electric current about the
house one evening lately was the cause
of much mysuncatiou and intense
nervous strain to the inhabitants of
house on the Warehouse property sit
uated between the Elite Building and
the public library
The family circle was complete and
sitting i'm that beatihc calm that fol-
lows the something accomplished
something done of the days work and
so leads sweetly to a nights repose,
according to the poet
The beatifC calm was however sud-
denly and rudely disturbed by the APP
pearanCe of a light that never was on
land or sea- a mysterious radiance
that came from nowhere and filled
every nook and Granny with glowing
mystic light such a light as might
have emanated from Jacobs ladder or
heraided the dawn of a new world or
| the judgment of an old one
As the lady of the house expressed IL
/ to a neighbOr afterward, the floor was
| swimming in it," The house was glori-
/ fed, but it was awe inspiring, terrible.
| Nobody breathed but sat afraid to
speak or move.
Had it been medieval days the light
would have presaged a vision or a mir
aCle. But twentieth century science
and the training Of the public schools
| came to the rescue and finally a hushed
voice found the solution of this strange
visitant that suffused the room with
its CHASTITY glow.
Its electricity, that's what it is.
| Don't stir or your get shocked to
| death" Visions of a Chinese lad re-
Gently electrocuted affrighted everyone
| and still the baleful radiance glOwed
on undiminished. The telephone was
not to be thought of but longer sus-
| pense was still more uncomfortable. The
electric light company was finally COM
| municated with to the effect that cleo
! tricity had broken out all over the
| house and that the floors were two
| feet deep in it.
| While they waited for relief which
! was coming fast from the bewildered
electricians who recognized that they
were up against something canny,
| everybody still sat with strained pale
! faces whose every wrinkle and hall
| line showed distinctly in the weird
glare.
Suddenly, before the messenger of
succor from the Hawaiian Electric
! Company could arrive GREATNESS on
the scene and while everyone sat In
their rubbers and put the feet of then
chairs in glasses as a wise preCaution-
| the light vanished-aS mysteriously
and suddenly as il had come The aW-
| full tension was gone, the electrician
greeted with joyous faces and only d
dim fear of some recurrence of the
phenomenon clOuded their minds.
There was no anger however Upor
Pacific Heights the searchlight operator
moved the focus of his glass and lifted
for ever the deadly, sickly fear of the
dwellers on the plains upon whose sky
light the ray from the light had been
without any malice, accidentally al.
lowed to rest for several minutes OF
anguish
