Good Hair
Murat HaIstead.

The following was in type last week,
but was unavoidable omitted;
Murat Halstead, the celebrated jour
nalist, spoke to large audience at the
opera house last night, Every person
in the house had heard of him, but very
few If any, had ever seen him. All ex-
pected rare treat. WE'LL to be brief
all were dissappointed-the lecture was
fiat failure. MI. Halstead is evidently
in his dotage. His subject was good,
but he didn't ''stick to his text He
wandered and wobbled and meander'
ed about in an aimlcss fashion, starting
on line of thought, but never finishing.
Mr.. Halstcad once possessed talent as
a lecturer, no doubt, but that time is
past We have scores Of men in Gar
nett who could entertain an audience
much better.
The Garrett lecture association is not
to blame, and we do not want to attach
any blame to the speaker. The whole
blame rests with the lecture bureau
sent him him out.
This, doubtless, is Murat Halstead' 5
last tour as a lecturer.

Missouri is All Right.

From the Fit. Scott Tribune
bit of correspondence that passed between
between Grant Hornaday and ex Governor St.
John, now of Versailles, Mo-, has just come to
light. Mr., St. John is good Democrat, and
Giant sought to taunt him about Missouri 60
ing Republican, but the Governor seems to
be too familiar with Kansas politics to permit
any Kansan to talk about Missouri. The fol.
lowing is the correspondence, which Mr.. Hor.
naday evidently didn't desire to give to the
reporters:

THE Kansas City Star vigorously criticises
the people of Kansas who live in the gas dis
trct for making fight to keep their gas at
home instead o. allowing it to be piped to Kan
sas City. The Star says we are selfish. Ac.
cording to that paper, Kansas City didn't care
so long as the kick,was confined to individuals,
but when the people begun to hold mass meet
ings and protest in body, then Kansas City
begun to make faces at US and call us names.
Kansas made Kansas City. But for the enter
prising people of this state, the city lat the
mouth of the Kaw wouldn't be half as large as
it is. Kansas City is selfish. She vans to hog
everything in sight. She would willingly kill
every town in Kansas in order 10 center every
industrial enterprise IN Kansas City. If all
the people in Kansas who take the Star would
'cut it OUT its circulation would be very ma
terialy decreased; and unless the Star lets up
on its fight on Kansas, our people should teach
it wholesome lesson. Kansas has moral, If
not a legal, right to keep her gas in order to
build up her own towns, and she will do all in
her power to keep it.

Big [ AND FRAUDS.
avs the Lawrence Gsz cite /:

Says the Lawrence Gsz ,tte:
From Portland, Oregen, comes report OF
great land frauds The papers have been full
Of it for several days out there, and the gov
eminent has the criminals on the way to the
pen. The man who did this work has not had
the credit he deserves. The government does
things by machinery, and seldom gives any in
dividual credit unless he happens to have a
stand.in with some official at Washington.
Albert R. Green, of Lecompton, enc OF the
oldest newspaper men in Kansas, is the one to
whom credit ought tie be given. He has work.
ed for mouths, night and day, to ferret cut the
scoundrels, and he has caught them. The
government was being robbed Systematically,
and he discovered it. Then he discovered who
was doing the robbing. The moral of this is
that if you want thing done, do it yourself or
send Kansas man.

TAKES SIDES WITH CHINESE.

Francis A. Carl, vice-c commissioner to the
worlds fair from China, strongly endorses the
petition prepared by American citizens resi-
dents of China who, in letter to Secretary Of
State Hay, have requested that obstacles be
removed that practically prohibit the coming
to the United States of Chinese students, mer-
chants and men of learning who desire to visit
this country Mr. Carl says the trade between
this country and China aggregates $50, 600, 900
annually, and, before another decade, it should
increase to 100000, 900 per annum, but our
Chinese policy is likely to lose us the $4,000
600 annually England, Germany, France and
other European nations are making strong
effort to secure this business, while the United
States seems to be trying to get lid of it.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP A TRUST CURE.

Former Senator Pettigrew, OF South Dakota,
who represented his state in the United States
senate for twelve years, was member of the
committee on interstate commerce, and is con-
sidered an authority on railway matters. In
recent interview in Chicago, he said:
"The result of the last election shows that
it is useless to hope that any party can be Or
ganized to secure the support of the putocratlc
elements by outbidding the Republican. 1t
shows that what is needed is radical party
representing the producing classes, offering no
compromise with predatory wealth, and insist
ing that those who produce shall enjoy the
fruits of their labor, and not have those fruits
taken away by legislation comforting the right
to tax production. That is the lesson taught
by the last election"
Asked ''What do you think will be the effect
of the message of President ROOSEVELT" SEN
ator Pettigrew said
"The1e is one section of that message on
which I would like to say few words, and
that is his request for the control OF the rail-
roads. This is weak, for the reason that this
power was given to the Interstate Commerce
Commission more than twenty years ago, by
act of congress, and that power has been lost,
according to the evidence presented by the
commission itself not by act OF congress, but
by the decision of the courts. These courts
are invariably composed of judges who have
been in the service of the railway corporations,
and who, therefore, as judges, continue TO
serve their masters"
4. hAxx h
control the senate, Mr.. Pettigrew exposed the
manner in which the railroads "bleed' the
government for carrying the mails. He says
that on its present contracts, the government
pays the railroads S4o,ooo,ooo year TOR this
service, while the same lines carry the same
amount of express, on the same trains, for less
than 81 900, 900. Says Mr.. Pettigrew:
''No doubt, the reason OF the Presidents
commentator in his message was tear OF the
increasing popularity of the principles OF gov
eminent ownership, which is the only real
remedy.
"The railway rates in the country, II given
alike TO all, could be very materially decreased
if the government owned the roads, and the
great combinations that now plumber the people
would find serious competition from individual
enterprises if it were not for the enormous dis
elimination given by the railroads to the trusts,
which is equal in itself to big profit, and goes
against all individual competition.
"Walter Logan, before the American Bar
Association, said that the Standard Oil Com
PAW alone had driven out of business no less
than 10, 900 individual producers who were I'M
able to meet them on account of the enormous
freight discrimination
81 think that he estimated the number too
low: 10000 would come nearer the mark OF
these driven to the wall, to pauperlsm, and
from being small traders, to the position OF EN-
ployes: their manhood broken and their clti-
zenshp lowered.
''The proof shows concusively that discrlm-
ination in freight rates is the backbone OF the
trusts"

STEEL TRUST INQUIRY NIPpED IN THE BUD

A Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Star
contains the following information indicating
that President Roosevelt has trouble on hand:
The house committee on judiciary agreed to
postponement of the resolutions of Represent
alive Baker (Dem., Ky.), looking to an inves-
tigation of the methods of the steel trust, and
providing for the duty-free admission OF steel
rails This is taken as the first indication OF
active hostility to the Presidents announced
policy of probing into the combine.
