The wisdnm of a Centenarian.

Benjamin Brown, of Riehview. Illinois,
has been somewhat neglected. concerning
his registration as a voter. Now he has
registered, because he wants to vote for
Roosevelt. The only remarkable feature
about this case is that Mr.. Benjamin
Brown is just one hundred years of age.
But, after all, even this feature is not
remarkable. because no American citi-
zen who has acquired the wisdom Of
hundred years could do anything else
than vote for Roosevelt in this campaign.

Government reports issued last week
announce that the cost of living is re-
duced, because the price of majority
of the necessities of life are cheap per.
While beef, mutton, lard, butter,
wheat, corn, oats, sugar and vege-
tables have gone up, other necessities
like pig-iron, leather. copper, tin
spelter and hair-cloth have gone
down. All that the workingman has
to do now is to accustom himself to
making dinner of these last-named
materials. Rent costs him more than
it did, but he never could buy a steam
yacht or an automobile, cut flowers,
or silk underwear, as cheap as he can

More than 700 persons were killed
by lightning in the United States in
1903. A writer in the Boston Tran
script says: EAST of the Tooth me-
ridian thunder storms occur all over
the country, but west of it, except in
the Rocky Mountains, the frequency
OF storms diminishes until on the Pa
cific coast there are practically none.
The greatest number of storms occurs
in Florida, in the middle Mississippi
valley and in the middle Missouri
valley. The greatest number of deaths

with 135, Indiana, Illinois and New

the metal roofs, telegraph wires, etc. i,
of the cities serve as conductors.
lightning rods, as usually put up,
are of no use. A tin roof with gutter
spouts leading to the ground is much
more effective. Barns with green hay
seem to invite lightning"

Every one agrees that South Ameri-
can trade is worth cultivating, and
the Chicago Tribune directs attention
to the fact that while Germans and
Englishmen seem to know how to Gull
tivate it, Americans do not. The
Tribune concludes: cit ought to be
easier to drum up customers in Ar
gentina or Brazil than in China, but
apparently it is not. There is no diff
Guilty about selling goods to Next
cans, but there is when it comes to
selling them to Chileans or Vene-
zuelans. The larger trade with Mex
leo is due to the extension of the
American railroad system into that
country. 1t may he that the Panama
canal.will stimulate commercial inter-
course between the United States and
the states on the west coast of South
America, but without the canal that
intercourse should be more extensive
than it is. The slow growth of Amer
lean trade with the southern half of
this hemisphere is inexplicable and a

At a meeting of the Democratic
Congressional committee held in
Wichita on April 7, 1904, it was Or
dered that a delegate convention OF
the democrats of the Seventh congress
sional district be called to meet at the
city of Great Bend, on Tuesday, Aug
ust 9th, 1904, at the hour of IL O'Clock
a. M, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for congress.
The basis of representation was
fixed the same as named in the call
for the state convention, namely: One
delegate for each 200 votes, or major
fraction thereof, cast for w. III. Grad
dock for governor in the election OF
1902, and one delegate-at-large from
each county, and provided that no
county have less than two delegates.
The committee recommends that no
proxies be recognized in said conven-
ton except as they are held by cleo
tors from the county to which they
are accredited. F. G. FIELD,

A good story relating to Charles

A good story relating to Charles
Darwin is told by Miss Daisy Letter,
who recently returned from London.
1.-TWO English boys" said Miss Lei
ter, "being friends of Darwin, thought
one day that they would play joke
on him. They caught a butterfly, a
grasshopper, a beetle, and a cent?
pede, and out of these creatures they
made a strange, composite insect.
They took the centipede's body, the
'butterfly's wings, the grasshopper'
legs and the beetles head and they
glued them together carefully. Then,
with their new bug in a box, they
knocked at Darwin's door. we
caught this bug in field, they said.
Can you tell us what kind of bug it
is, sir?' Darwin looked at the bug
and then he looked at the boys. He
smiled slightly. Did it hum when
you caught it?' he asked. Yes, they
answered, nudging one another.
Then,' said Darwin, Sit is a hum

immigration has reached flood

New York at the rate of 1900 day.
Some of them are miserably, patheti-
cally poor. For this crime the ad-
ministration is driving them back,
some thousands being deported every
week. All parties should seriously
consider whether this policy.is wise
one. How many millions of our citi-
zens were immigrants without five
dollars in pocket when they landed?

Murdoch is I'D against

Congressman Murdoch is up against
hard proposition. He induced the
government to appoint an expert on
irrigation to come to western Kansas
and report on what could best be done
to increase the water supply on the
surface where it will do the most
good. The first thing to happen to
the expert on his arrival in this state
was that he was water bound on a
train for sixteen hours and owed what
nourishment he got to the efforts of
nearby farmers who supplied the train
with provisions by the aid of boats.
The honorable Victor is wondering
how he shall go to work to convince
the man that Kansas really needs
more water.

papers announced that Paul Morton,
second vice president of the Santa Fe,
had repudiated democracy and joined

that the president has appointed him

Secretary
Bailey and HOch.

The ST. Joseph News, which pays
more or less attention to Kansas poll
tics, publishes the following comment
on the present Kansas situation:
every report that comes from Kan
sas reads alike. The tide of public
sentiment is turning from Hoch.
Bailey has borne his defeat and hu-
initiation so philosophically and so
bravely that he has won anew the
sympathy and regained the respect
and admiration of the people. To-
day he is undoubtedly more the idol
of the rank and file of his party than
Hoch, and if what has been done
could be reversed, there is no doubt
as to what would happen. The voters
of Kansas are already realizing the
fact that in turning down Bailey. and
uplifting Hoch, they have not done
that which will rebound to the credit
Of the party, or be of any glory to the
state. Measured by any standard,
Bailey is one of the biggest men Kan
sas has placed in the field of politics
in many days. Hoch is an experi-
ment that many believe will prove a
failure. Realizing the injustice that
has been done Govern Or Bailey, and
che mistake that was made in his de-
thronement, many of those who have
heen aligned with the Hoch-Stubbs
faction, if reports from Kansas are to
be accepted as only partially true, are
ready to revolt. That thousands OF
republican voters will scratch Mr..
Hoch is an assured fact. Nobody en-
poets he will be elected by that tire.
mendous majority predicted in the
earlier stages of the campaign, and
his defeat is by many regarded as no,
altogether improba ble."
The News may have drawn it rather
strong, but there undoubtedly has
been a great change of heart among
the republicans of Kansas regarding
Governor Bailey within the past three
months.
