O
The unseating of the democratic
member from St. Louis and the seat
ing of his republican contestant, at
almost the last moment, by the ma
jority in the congress that has just
closed, was one of the rankest salary
steals that has ever been perpetrated
by the national house of representa-
tives. 1t is 40 wonder that it excit-
ed the resentment of the democrats
10 such an extent that they made it
mighty rocky sailing for the majority
during the closing hours of congress
and led to the defeat of many bills
that might otherwise have been en-
acted into law.-Ex-

WE ARE thinking of swearing out a
search warrant and trying Herewith
to discover, if possible, who is respon-
sible for what appears in Ira Clark
Daily Item, and its weekly echo, the
Register. If Ira does not want to
father anything obnoxious, Andy is
the scapegoat, and if Andy has been
making too frequent visits to the "Do
Wrong Club" why then Ira is in for
the blame. Laying all testing aside,
and referring to the Items criticism of
Commissioner Shattuck, we must
again assert that what appeared in
Mr.. Clark's little daily was in exceed
ingly bad taste, after the way Mr..
Clark buttonholed the Commissioner
for favors which in no sense he
should have expected. The public
generally is not interested in this con-
troversy; but there are a whole lot of
people who would like to know who
stands sponsor for what appears in
the evening gossiper and its weekly
rehaSh.

The Shame Of Kansas.

Needless and careless alike of all
Arrogant in their might;
In factional fight and spiteful brawl
They sneer at peoples right.
Full in the face of hand bound strength
They 1aunt their rag of self,
And in shameless licence glut at length
Their lust for pillage and pelf.
What of the two in the Nation hall
Who herald and hold our fate?
A trickster, the tool and the Seneschal
OF forces that own the State,
Companion to one whose page unfurled
Shows scarcely a vice exempt
What in the eyes of a seeing world,
For US, but a huge contempt?
To sponsors be for this specious twain
And the agents who put them there;
This the reproach of our sunny plain,
The blot on our 'scutcheon fair;
This be the blush upon our face
The canker that gnaws our heart.
This be our endless keen disgrace
Till shame from the earth depart

As To Jail Location.

Pawnee Rock. Kans., March 9, 1908.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-I read in the
Beacon that a good many of Great
Bend people have expressed them
selves in regard to the location of the
county Jail. It is right they should.
I take the same privilege. I would
not have it in the park at ali; put it
anywhere on the east side of the
street, east of the court house. If it
goes in the park, put in southeast
corner, or keep out altogether 1t
will spoil the park on-the north side
1t has taken years to make it look any
thing like park; the park now begins
to look respectable; if they put the
Jail on the north side it won't be two
years till the county commissioners
will want 10 hire a cheap hand to
kick them for doing it. Land is not
SO valuable that they have got to
crowd everything IN the park. Other
towns do not do it; why the Bend?
Hutchinson jail is not in best part of
town; it's off by itself, and there's
where it ought to be. l am only one
out of many; I have a choice the same
as the rest. G. !. FRENCH.

An Enduring Record.

Standing side by side in an old
Long Island cemetery are four tomb
stones. They commemorate the vir-
tues of the successive wives of one
of the towns inhabitants, who, from
the point of experience at least,
should be able to rival Max O'Rell as
an observer of feminine traits.
A peculiar thing about the monu-
ments is that not alone do they per-
petuate the memory of each of his
helpmates, but they serve as a sort
of financial barometer to record the
husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had a modest little
headstone. The second wife's memo
rial was on the same order, but it
was at least two feet taller. The
third wife differed both as to style
and size, being greatly superior to
either of the others, while tn the
fourth and last was granted the dis
tinction of granite shaft.-N. Y.

Sudden Death Forbidden.

The sultan of Turkey insists that
every ruler or person of high polit-
zeal Importance should die natural
death. The Stampa, of Turin, says
that other manners of death are not
officially recognized by Nischan Eff
fendi, the censor.
When King Humbert was assassi-
mated at Monza, the Turkish newspa-
pers announced the sad event in this
way:
'King Humbert left the hall amid
the frenetic cheers of the people. The
king, much affected, bowed several
times, and to all appearance was inn
mediately dead"
When the shah of Persia was as
sassinated, the Turkish papers said:
SIN the afternoon the shah drove to
his summer palace, and there com
planned of illness. His corpse was
sent to Teheran."
One paper excelled all others by
this piece of euphemistic simplifica-
ton: "The shah felt little i'll, but
finally his corpse returned to the
palace"
This was too much even for the
Turks, who keep the phrase as one
of their proverbs.
