TEDDY'S FRIENDS WIN OUT.

Walter Wellman writes as follows to the Chi
cago Record Herald regarding the recent fight
between the Washington book binders union
and President Roosevelt:
"It is apparent that the conservatives have
won their fight in the executive council of the
American Federation over the Miller case, and
John Mitchell has done President Roosevelt
good turn for the Presidents aid in settling the
coal strike last year, For several days there
was doubt whether or not the council would
ntorse the action taken by the book binders in
making war upon President Roosevelt, but, as
was teIegraphed the Record Herald, the whole
thing has been side-tiacked by referring it to
subcommittee. The postponement is a victory
for the conservatives, who have maintained
that it would be fatal to the cause of union
labor to enage in political campaign.
"These men, with Mr.. Mitchell at their
head, believe the President did right in rein
stating Miller, because he was protected by the
federal civil service law, and it is the Pres-
dents duty to enforce the statutes. But they
do not want him to presume to lay down gen.
eral principle to be followed outside the gov
eminent, where no statute applies, and it IS
understood that efforts are to be made to induce
the President to intimate publicly that all he
was seeking to do was to enforce the law, and
that it is not his province to lay down rules for
the guidance of outsiders
"Whether or not the President can be induced
to make any such expression or to appease the
radical unionists by permitting Miller to be dis
charged is question which can be decided only
by the President himself. 1t is understood that
the President will discuss this phase of the
case with Mr. Mitchell and other labor leaders,"

NEED MORE MONEY.

The contention of the silver forces in the
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 is being endorsed
by Secretary Shaw who insists that "the pres
eut volume [of money is insufficient" Con-
tinuing, he says: "The recent demand for
Sc 900 900 of government bonds as security for
All equal amount of government deposits has
resulted in advancing the price of government
bonds to figure at which national bank cir
culation cannot be maintained at profit"
Mr.. Shaw is correct when he speaks of the
need of more money, but his plan of increas-
ing the amount is very different from that ad-
vocated by the silver forces. Shaw wants the
national banks to use their reserves in emer-
gencies. His principal idea seems to be to help
the banks "in emergencies" 1t is evident that
he does not give the good of the people Sec
ond thought. However, he proves that the
silver forces were right in their contention for
a larger volume of money.

Kansas the Future Great Oil Region.

From the Kansas Populst. Independence.
The oil men who have been back home, and
new ones coming in daily, all tell the same
story of coming crowd. They say that the
oil men now here are only the skirmish line of
coming army. In the Ohio field, the work
of the past few months has been rather discour-
aging, and the operators are preparing to leave
for this field, which is regarded as the most
promising IN sight, and the experienced oil
men say that its development has only begun,
and that for twenty years to come, it will be in
progress. All the indications are that within
the next month or two, hundreds of new oil
men will be in this field, and that the work
now in progress is as nothing to what is to
come in the near future. The need OF the hour
is accommodations for the crowd.

opment of trade unionism to its present strength
is due to the same thing. The workers of the
world have but one more lesson to learn. That
is cooperation on the political field. This les.
son Learned and recited, we will have universal
cooperation, universal peace and universal
contentment.
1t is annourced that Senator Carmack, of
Tennessee, will introduce a bill in the next
session of congress for the repeal of the Fiji
teenth amendment Of the federal constitution.
1t is not difficult to see in this the first step of
a plan to dsfranchise the whole working class,
both black and white. Senator Spooner uu-
Willingly gave it away ia recent speech, in
which he advocated twenty-tear term for
president and long terms for congressman. Let
no one fatter himself that the capitalists are
going to get off the backs Of the workers with
out struggle.
The constitutional right of habeas corpus
has teen overruled by the new military law as
interpreted by Adt.- Gen. Bell, who is person
ally conducting the military operations at Grip
pie Creek Bell takes the position that, at the
present tine, not only the militia, but all the
inhabitants of that district, are amenable to the
articles of war Civil authority has been
swept aside, and the mailed fist of capitalism
is disclosed to the startled gaze of an awakened
public. Armed force is always the last resort
OF disappearing class. This show of force
always precedes its collapse.

An Editors Prosperity.

From Appeal to Reason.
The editor of the Lawrenceburg, Ind, Press
(Republican) has heard of prosperity, and
wants to see its color by actual contact. He
went over his list of 600 subscribers and found
200 Of them in arrears, and invited such of
them as believed this country was prosperous
to come and pay up. After about one months
pounding, nineteen came in and paid, and he
opines that there is no prosperity if only ONE
tenth of those who owe can pay poor country
publisher. That editor dol't take campaign
phrases as empty hurrahs. He tests them.
There are FIVE thousand publishers in this coun-
try, the most of whom are living on the bor-
ders of charity, who are yelling prosperity.

IT's long road that hasn't resting seat on

THE legislature "played hob' last winter
when it repealed the law providing for the issu
auce of temporary teachers certificates By
continually raising the requirements for certih-
Gates and by submitting all kinds of catch
questions to applicants, the authorities have
6nelIy succeeded in creating a shortage of
teachers, and there will be large number of
districts all over Kansas that will have no
schools. Much inconvenience has resulted
The object in thus creating shortness of teach
ers was probably to raise the wages, but the
thing has ceatainly been overdone.-Le Roy

WHAT the postal managers have stolen by
petty contracts is nothing to what the railroads
are stealing by charging fully FORTY MIL
LIONS year more for hauling mail cars than
it is worth, or than they charge the express
companies for similar services. This is known
to every public official, from President Roose-
velt down. Why isn't it investigated? What
do the railroads furnish the President trains
for? For the public good?-Appeal to Reason.

the highest total, 154. which shows how

portance to the average reader, who
cannot sit down and read every line
in a paper as he would read a novel.
However. the Statesman is more close
" read than any morning paper for
the reason that it reaches the homes
of the people at the hour Of the eve
ming meal after most men have fin
ished their days work and when they
have leisure to read the paper care
fully.
1t is for this reason that the evening
paper is the best advertising medium.
1t is read at the evening fireside and
the bargains offered by business men
are discussed in the family circle. The
wise advertiser is coming more and
more to appreciate this fact and he is
giving more of his patronage to the
evening paper.
With a rapidly growing subscription
list and advertising patronage the
management of the Statesman will
make the paper better than ever dur
ing the coming year, and it will be a
credit to this thriving city of fifteen
thousand people. If you would ride
in the band wagon you should become
subscriber to the Evening States
man, and if you would prosper in bus
mess you should endeavor to reach
the people through a paper that goes
direct to their homes.
