DON'T KNOW A JOKE.
Prairie Farmer Makes Amusing
Blunder About Kansas.

0AAAAOA EADOuJ LAauSdGs
Here is something funny The Prairie
Farmer, published at Chicago, takes
seriously the warning of State Labor
Commissioner Johnson to Kansas off,
Gals that they must not work more than
eight hours a day. In an editorial under
the heading: Vicious Legislation in
Kansas" 1t says:
Naturally those who were instrument
tai in pushing through the Kansas legis-
lature a bill to create easy berths for
themselves and friends are not pleased
10 have their plans interfered with. Ac-
cording to a dispatch from Topeka the
labor commissioner has commenced a
campaign against aif state officials who
persist In working more than eight
hours per day. He has. it is reported,
given warning TO all officials from the
governor down that they are amenable
TO the eight hour law and that any one
committing the horribly atrOciOus crime
of working more than eight hours a day
viii be prosecuted. He contends that
the purpose of the law was to increase
the facilities for emptying the public
treasury. Poor. suffering, bleeding
Kansas! To what an awful state of de-
generacy have her people descended
when those elected to eXpend the earn
ings of the tolling masses will deliber-
ately and willfully with malice afore-
thought violate the law in their efforts
to Illustrate the very purpose for which
they were elected. These officials should
take cognizance of some of their con
tempOraries in other states who dud-
fully refrain from work entirely and
far from the madding crowds ignoble
strife beside some cool sequestered lake
or babbling brook escape from ennui by
angling for the finny tribe. drawing their
salaries and planning increased facili-
ties for emptying the public granary
What if these officials can not always
be found in cases of emergency What
are the lives of a few individuals taken
at the hands of a gathering of represent
tative citizens compared to the atroci-
ously heinous crime of working a few
minutes over time and possibly saving
a little of the peoples money? A learn
ed scientist says: 'Parasitism is the nor
NAL condition of things in the natural
world. Besides these officials should re-
member that money is the root of all
evil and that if they are not conscien-
tiously dilgent in calling around the
public feed trough every rapacious sycO-
plant that can possibly be seated, some
coarse, undeserving tiller of the soil
might have a nickel to spend for some
thing he did not absolutely need. They
should remember that upon them lies
the colossal responsibility of keeping
empty the pockets of a people whose
sun kissed cheeks are oft famed by the
furnace-like breath of the desert aud
whose feet anon are bathed in the liquid
depths of raging flood Who can fore
tell the dire results that might follow

Two Young Women Had a Narrow
Escape from Terrible Death.

Idaho Springs, Col, Aug. 2S.-Two young
women have met with a painful accident
on the Yankee Hill glacier near Alice,
Col, which nearly cost them their lives.
Miss Mills of Iowa. a tourist, and Miss

Miss Mills left leg was broken and both
were terribly bruised. They were seen by
campers, who took them to a nearby no.
tel and called a physician.
