Make Haste Slowly.

There is evidence every day since

Wichita Eagle. The drowning man
will grasp a straw, but when sinking
in the financial sea, the man who is
trying to be honest always gets hold
Of his friends il possible and If he
sinks, takes them down with him.
Mr.. Devlin took 8 firm hold on his
friends and whether any OF them will
sink with him will be determined
later.
He took hold on the Topeka banks
and other institutions to the amount
OF 81, 67S, 900, and his grasp ON Kan
sus City is represented by little over
q million dollars, while Chicago and
St. Louis will get of with less than
quarter Of million each.
People who knew Charles Devlin

make q show Of his wealth, but lived

protect the state, but now ii the state
Of Kansas can help ont the Topeka
banks and even MIR. Dsvliu by being a
little moderate in pressing its claims,
it might be best for all concerned to
make haste slowly.

Make the Roads Good.

This paper has often spoken OF the
necessity Of having good roads in this
county. The rural delivery inspector
may be here at any time. He usually
visits each county at least once a
year. Wherever the rural delivery
has been established if the roads are
found In bad coalition and he reports
the same the delivery on such roads
may BE- discontinued. Now 10 very
busy time with the farmers but they
should not forget that the roads
wherever rural carriers are required
to pass must be In good condition
Whenever the inspector makes his in
Spection he must make report Of the
condition Of the roads and whether
they have shown any improvement
during the last year. The patrons Of
rural delivery should mot lose sight
Of the fact that the government Is
furnishing this great convenience
without any cost to the recipients.
1t is costing the government q large
sum In excess Of the revenues de-
rived from the service. In short, 1t
does mot near pay expenses. All the
government asks Of the patrons is to
see that the roads are kept in good
condition 80 that the carrier can make
his rounds in the required time. A
bad piece Of road or o detective bridge
may delay him SO that the mail he
takes to the post office may be de-
layed fer a day. While it is q busy
time yet all have time to think over
the bad places in the roads see that
the overseer is notified and that the
defects are remedied at the earliest
possible moment. Only short time
remains before the first year OF the
county service will end and the in
spector may be expected at any time
from this on.

The decision Of the supreme court
that the state refinery law 10 uncon-
stitutIo nal will cause no disapPoint-
ment ia Kansas generally. Indeed,
outside Of the oil belt. 1t is likely that
1t will be approved BY most people
After the excitement under which
the law was passed subsidized the ab-
surditv Of the state going into oil
kinds Of business has been widely
recognized. As we pointed out last
winter while the bill was under dis
cussion the law was strictly populistic
and should never have had serious
consideration by the Republican party.
No party can play with fire and not
get burned and the next state con-
vention should pass o vote OF thanks
to the supreme court for its decision
As q matter OF fact no state refinery
was needed in order to help the oil
business. All that was necessary
WAS the enactment Of such laws %
would give the independent producer
a square deal and equal rights and
privileges with the oil trust. That
kind Of laws the state now has and
the independent rednerieS that are
started as business propositions and
not IS Speculations will win out. NO
state refinery was or is needed and
the state is spared a vast smount OF
grief by the application Of chloroform
by the supreme court.

Every man who does not own oil

preme court was absolutely right In
knocking out the state oil refinery.

sagely says the Lawrence Gazette,
promoted by the oil boomers, who
worked the people on the cry Of
"DoWn with Rockefeller" 10 order to
force the legislature aud governor
into helping along the sale Of their
stock. But aside from that, the ex'
pertinent, even II legal, would have
been one iraught with the greatest
danger to the state. II the legisla-
ture could build oil refueries and
run them 1t could surely build pack
Ing houses and run them, and the de-
mAnd for relief from the meat trust
was ten times stronger than was the
cry for relief from the Standard Oil
trust for where the Standard was and
IL rObbing the people Of cents, the

And then there Is the grain truSt, and
the lumber trust, and the trusts oil

people make. II the state could spend

boomers, why should Il not spend q

The scheme was 6 graft, pure and

A sign OF the times ID. the resolution
on the freight rate question adopted
by the national federation Of millers
al Kansas City recently. They took
no notice Of the bill pending 10 con-
greSs which proposes to put in the
hands Of the interstate Commerce
Commission the impossible power to
make rates for oil the railroads Of the
United States. They went directly at
the evil which shippers complain Of
by endorsing President Roosevelt's
position In respect to rebates and un-
just Determinations, and opposing
private car lineS, and then declared
"that we urge the government
authorities to investigate oil such con-
ditions and to see that the existing
laws are properly enforced"
This thought Is fast crystalizing
into public sentiment. and it almost
has become conviction. Awhile back
there was Glamour in some quarters
for the Townsend-Esch bill and an
extraordinary session Of congress TO
pass it. Little 10 heard OF that now.
1t apparently is decided that there is
to be no extraordinary session this
fall. The president hsS chosen to
give courteous consideration to the
manifest desires Of congress rather
than irritate the members BY forcing
them to meet for an impossible and
impolitic purpose.
In other words, the, statesmen
and thinkers Of the country believe
there is law enough ON the subject
now IL iniorced, and that II more law
is needed 1t is not . law that would
give into the hands OF seven men, I'M.
known to railroad tariffs, the power
to make rates for all the roads Of the
country. The. resolution Of the
millers indicates a change Of senti'
ment, and later on the sober sense Of
the people will find the way out.
