THE WAY TO GET IT.

1.-The way to get natural gas, is to
get tic. K. Holiday.
Which is eminently correct. Also,
the way to get cheap gas is to get it,
and not pass an ordinance allowing a
monopoly to charge an excessively
high price for gas.
Also, the way to get gas on the same
terms that Lawrence and Kansas City
get it, thereby keeping Topeka fac
tories from being Disseminated
against. is to get it-by passing an or
dinance fixing the same maximum
rates as are fixed in those towns. Mr..
Holiday is correct: The way to get
these things is to get them-and get
them in a way that there will be no
guesswork about it.

Buy OUR OWN BOvDs

Governor Hoch did the right thing
in declaring in favor Of selling the
state refinery bonds to the state school
fund when the people did not show
desire for them, as the governor had
expected they would. Governor
HOch's idea of distributing the bonds
among the people of Kansas in order
to give the public a personal interest
IN the matter was a good one. but the
bonds We're required by law to be is
sued IN such large denominations that
the people did not care to buy them.
Therefore it is to be hoped that the
state viii buy its own bonds instead of
selling them to spectators. especially
as it now has more than enough

Salina women have shown their con-

another club.
A Clay county boy fell off a roof and
he inconsiderately chose a spot to light

It does not appear that candidates for
lieutenant governor win be scarce in

the time the convention meets.
There has been some comment on the

the Marion Record says: Incidentally

Hoeh,s act in appointing Royce was

CeIerv in the Garden.

Celery is an important crop for the
home garden, as it occupies ground

previously occupied by peas which
leaves nitrogen in the soil-The Car

The Profits of Strike Breaking.

Mr. James Farley is now getting the
financial returns he dreamed of when
he conceived his new business of
strike breaking. According to his
usual arrangement, the company pays
him SIS a day for each man he fur
nishes. pays the mems travelling ex-
penses both ways, and boards and
lodges them during the continuance of
the strike. Mr.. Farley pays some of
his men $3.50 per day, some, IS, and
some $3.50. and some of his lieuten-
ants and department superintendent
he has thirty or forty stead Oily en-
ployed-large annual salaries. The
difference between SIS a day per man
and what he pays the men represents
Mr.. Farley's daily profits He had
about 5000 men on the New York
strike, three-quarters of them at $3.50
a day. His income for handling that
brief strike was equal to the annual
salary of President Roosevelt. Besides
his earnings from the active manage
nent of strikes, he receives annual
fees from several companies as retain
ers to manage their strikes in case
they have any.-Leroy Scott, in the

The Associated Press has been able to
usurp IN large measure the functions
OF the diplomat, and I think it makes
for universal peace in a remarkable
way. Instead of public questions now
passing through the long and tedious
methods of diplomacy as formerly the
story is told with authority by the As
ISOLATED Press. The point of view of a
country is presented no longer by di-
plomaCIc comnunica ton. but in the dis
patches of the Associated Press
A striking instance of this occurred
some months ago, when a Japanese
war vessel went into the neutral harbOr
of Chifu and captured the Rychitelni
an asylum there. Our correspondent
was on the Rychitelni when the Japa-
nese lieutenant and detachment ar
rived, and was a personal witness of
the occurrence. His story appeared
throughout the civilized world, and was
made the subject of representations by
Russia, through her ally, France. In
less than week the Japanese govern
ment prepared a careful defense of
their action and handed it to Mr. Egan,
our correspondent in Toxic. with a re-
quest that he send it throughout the
world. It was done, and it closed the
incident. They made no effort, and dis
tinctly said that they would make none,
to send an official answer to Russia on
the subject through the ordinary chan
nels of diplomacy, but chose rather to
send it through the agency of the As
ISOLATED Press.
The authorities of the foreign offices
Of the different European governments
recognize the independence of the As
ISOLATED Press, and have virtually made
choice of it as a forum for the discus
sion of current questions of information
al Interest. They recognize that a tele-
gram of the Associated Press, publish
ed as it is, throughout the world, unless
Immediately explained, may arouse a
public sentiment that can never be met
by the ordinary methods of diplomacy
They recognize that in the end it is the
high court of public opinion that must
settle international questions, and not
the immediate determination of the for
