One Party Should be RESPONSIBLE.


All Indications in the business world
point to great boom in business next
fall. New York sees the tide turning
and is getting ready to breast it. If
there is d Republican victory this fall
in the presidential election, as seems
probable, it is likely that we will have
one of the greatest business "boomsn
the country has seen.
The first result will be a demand
for more elastic currency to meet the
enlarged conditions of trade. At this
time our banking system is fixed by
we'll marked metes and bounds, be-
yond which it is impossible to 90.
There must be changes in the law to
take care of the changed conditions
II is very essential, therefore, that
the business men of the country
should carefully consider their course
in the coming congressionai cleo
tions. One thing is certain; if there is
a Democratic House and Republican
Senate, it will be next to impossible to
have any financial legislation The
two parties could never agree, especi-
ally as the Democratic party is split
wide open on the question of free sill
yer ana the gold standard. Judge
Parker is for the gold standard, his
party, as they expressed in their vote
in the committee on resolutions, are
against the gold standard, and it is
not reasonable to suppose that any
agreement could be reached on
banking and currency law; they would
disagree at the outset and never get
together.
There are differences of opinion
among the Republicans as to details of
currency legislation, but they are diff
ferences which can be recOnciled, and
which in the face Of the urgent exist
ing demand must be reconciled. Elect
a Republican House, and with the ex-
listing Republican Senate, there will
be no trouble in bringing out law to
meet the demands of the business
world. 1t will be satisfactory to the
farmer, to be represented in the de-
alterations which bring it forth.
It would, indeed, be a calamity if
the next election should result in a d.
vided congress. There are MANY
questions in process of determination
which ought to be left to The party
which formulated them for completion.
1t would be like drawing the fires
when the kiln is half baked to change
the complexion of congress now.
It is true that the measures are Re-
publican measures. Well and good.
Compile them and hold the Republic
an party responsible. The Republic
ans never dodge responsibility. They
are willing to answer at the polls. If
the country turns down their PROPOSE
tions they will take the re uke.
But in all fair play give the Repub
licans a chance for their white ally.

Committee

The course of Hon. S. A. Cook in
publicly announcing that he is willing
to abide by the decision of the Su-
preme court is highly commendable.
1t shows him to be Republican in
the true sense; it rebounds to his hon
or, and creates a most favorale i'm
preston upon those who are impartially
viewing the factional strife in the Re
publican party. Mr. Cook feels conf
dent that his cause will be upheld
and in that case will use all honorable
means to be elected, but if the decision
goes against him he declares he will
make no further effort for the govern
orship. He holds that the Office could
only bring him honor, if he is cleo
ed as the Regular Republican nominee.

ROOF GARDENS.
Farmers Near Solomon Turn Every
Bit Of Land Into Use.

Down towards Solomon, says the
Salina Union, there is some corn grow
ing that the owners a be proud OF.
The stalks stand FIVE and six feet high
and are hanging chock.full Of ears.
A Union reporter noticed some Pc
culiar things in this line near Solomon
yesterday. At numerous places there
are little sheds and old buildings that
are hardly worth the ground they
cover. Most Of these have matched
roofs and big patches Of corn are
growing from them. Whether the
corn was planted or how it came there
could not be learned but II is estimated
that some Of these roofs will yield
several bushels.

Need Of Drainage for the Benefit Of
Trade.

1t is probable that G. c. Sterl,
president OF the commercial club, will
call a good roads meeting Of the BUSH
nessmen of the city. There is so
much complaint about the roads along
the river that trade is driven away
from town. There is great pond a
mile southwest Of town through which
no team could pull a load and the
Buckeye road is very bad. Something
should be done at once to make the
roads passable, either by the county
or township.

MUST HAVE sIaNArs.
Rural Nail Box Order That Should
Be Notod.


Postmaster General Payne has
issued an order which will be Of inter
est to all patrons Of the rural free de-
livery routes in the state. 1t is in re-
gard to the kind OF boxes which have
been and are In use along the rural
routes. In the future all boxes must
have a signal on them to indicate
whether there 10 mail In them.
In the past almost any box which
has been approved BY the officials
having the matter in charge has been
acceptable to the department. Now
these boxes must bear a signal which
will indicate whether there is any
mail in the box. This will save time
for both the carriers and the patrons
OF the route. The order also states
that two or more families may use the
same box providing that a notice has
been given the postmaster at the dis
tributing point. II this is not done
the mail will not be distributed by
the carrier.
Another point in the order is that
the postmaster may order any box
wanted by the patron, providing 1t
comes within the provision Of the
law, but that he can receive no CON-
peusation for doing the ordering.

Barracks Ordered.

As result OF demands made upon the
Exposition management by State and for
eign exhibitors. an order was made yes
terday increasing the jefferson Guards
from 60 TO SO members.
The complaint of the exhibitors. Il is
said. grows out OF the action OF persons
who visited the Worlds Fair on the open
Ing day. Members of the State commits
sions. as well as foreign Commissioners,
claimed that their exhibits were mutilated
by s.me of the Exposition visitors. and
a tstir exhibits are valuable. and "a the
commissions arc responsible for their
p, reservation. the State and foreign repre-
sentatives asked the Exposition manage
mcn; for additional guards TO protect
property. both In tile exhibit palaces and
In the State and foreign buildings.
Colonel Kingsbury. commander of the
Jefferson Guards. conferred with Presi-
dent Francis, with the result that It was
decided to increase the Guard by go.
The jefferson Guards scored another
point with the Exposition management
yesterday. An order was made increasing
their pay from $50 to $50 a month. The
Guards have been asking for an increase
to $50 a month. ana the order making So
a month salary OF Worlds Fair police
was in the nature Of a compromise.
The Increased pay Is TO date from May /.
The commander OF the Jefferson Guards
has stated for many weeks that there
was no fear from the threatened strike Of
the guards The reason advanced was
that there are hundreds of applicants for
positions. The men on duty however.
have been well drilled and also have uni
forms that fit them. Had they gone on a
strike. IL would have been necessary for
the officers in charge to have drilled q
fresh lot of recruits. while the Exposition
management would have been forced to
order new suits.
This prospect was not a bright one FOR
the Worlds Fair Company. and the
guards. appreciating the fact that they
had risen TO the standard OF skilled la
bor" pressed their demands.
New barracks for the jefferson Guards
will be built on the hill in the rear OF the
Palace of Fine Arts. The building will
cost $1,000. and its completion Will re-
lieve stringent conditions now existing in
the quarters OF the Jefferson Guards. The
new barracks will AFFORD accommodations
for 400 men.
jefferson Guards receive free lodging
from the Exposition. but they furnish
their own board. The cost Of their uni
forms is deducted from their salaries. but
the money is to be refunded at the ex-
piration OF their service.
