TIVE projection of pipe system from the oil
districts of Kansas and Indian Territory to
Kansas City, Leavenworth Atchison, Topeka
Lawrence and number of Missouri towns sug-
eests sublime faith ia the quantity and durabil-
ity of the gas stores of the Western field. How
ever, this faith is we'll based, for it is in keep
ing with the confidence of the Standard Oil
Company which ought to be the best judge in
the world of oil and gas properties, in building
a great refinery in Kansas City and piping the
oil from the adjacent territory. The furnishing
of cheap and plentiful gas to Kansas CITY
for fuel purposes should greatly stimulate man
ufacturingSin this section, and it also should
have some effect on the coal situation. Fuel
of all kinds except wood should be cheap in
this city--much cheaper than at present-and
would be but for the combinations that have
been made to maintain high prices. One good
can be fixed by the ordinances granting the
franchise. City Star.
It begins to look as though the project of
piping gas from the Kansas gas fields to differ
ent Missouri towns is about to materialize. Ac-
cording to the above clipping from the Star,
the public would be led to believe that the
Kansas gas supply is unlimited. This is not
the case. Already, the supply at lola is
strained to meet the demand. 1t is only a
question of few years when the product OF
the towns icon ing in" since lola has will be
limited. In another article, the Star has to say
that 1t is the intention of this company to pipe
every house in Kansas City for gas. In addi-
ton to this, the company proposes to pipe gas
to Topeka Lawrence, Leavenworth and several
other towns. The gas supply of Kansas isn't
equal to this demand. Kansas City realizes
that this project would mean the death of the
cities Of the oil and gas fields of eastern Kan
sas, and they would become mere distributing
stations as it were. When government own
: ership of all public utilities is realized, one
community or one section of the country will
not be built up at the expense of another.
Then, Kansas City will not be able to act the
hog and push the smaller towns out of the
trough. And the action of the above-mention-
ed company and OF the Standard Oil Company,
will prove powerful educators along the line OF
public ownership.

LABOR'S DESERVED HOLIDAY.

Mr.. Bryan says, in his paper, The Com.
inoner:
"The labor unions of the country are max
ing great preparations for Labor Day, which
falls upon September sth this year From all
quarters come the reports that the unions are
determined to make this years celebration
record breaker. 1t is noticed, however, that
there Is a tendency to abandon the parade fea-
ture of the celebration and devote the day to
social features, thereby bringing the rank and
file of labor into closer relations. This is
based upon the claim that the parade, by tax
ing up the greater portion of the day, and en-
failing great expense and work, prevents labor
ing men from enjoying the day in full measure.
Labor Day has become one of the great holi-
days of the year, and The Commoner rejoices
that labor has become so thoroughly organized
THAT it can and does turn out Ell masse upon
that occasion to show its strength and spirit.
The Commoner hopes some day to chronicle
asother tact-that labor will vote as soidly for
its own interests upon election day as it march
es upon Labor Day 10 show its industrial
strength"

From the Kansas City Journal.
"It is this way" says Bent Murdoch, in
tracing his own kinship to Henry Gassaway
Davis, the Democratic nominee for vice resi-
dent "Henry Gassaway's sister married a
brother of Gen. John H. Morgan, the Ken
lucky raider of 1868. A sister of Morgan
married a Ridgeway, whose sister married
brother of Gen. George B. Mcclellan, who was
an uncle of present Mayor Mcclellan, OF New
York. Another sister married Zach Pierpont,
whose daughter Katherine married Thomas
Murdock-peace to his ashes-who was father
of the Kansas tribe Henry Gassaway and the
sainted Thomas played old sedge, ran horses,
followed the hounds, preached, taught school
and did lot of other things together in their
boyhood days around Taggart's Run, Great
River and the Pierpont settlement, in Old Vir-
ginia. And that's all there is to this story"

says of Tom Watson: "He is tried and true

not only fortunate in their choice of candi-
date, but their platform is the best ever drawn
up by any party--exccpt the Socialist party. t"
If Mr.. Wiltshire is correct in his estimate of
Mr.. Watson, and no one except the bosses and
the hirelngs of the two old parties dispute it,,
then every Socialist in the land, as we'll as

THE Southern Mercury remarks: "Behind
the candidacy of Judge Parker are the money.
moneers and the trust promoters and every
financial buccaneer on Wall street. These are
the persons who nominated him and are now
coaching him. Behind Roosevelt is liued up
the solid business interests, with no promotion
schemes to plumber the public. Nevertheless,
their interest in government is selfish, 100.
They want their profits enhanced through high
tariffs and ship subsidy schemes, and the Re
publican party is pledged to both. Where do
your interests lie, brother farmers? Certainly
not with the trust promoters, nor the ship sub
