CRIPPLED KANSAS SALT INDUS
Try

From Arkansas City Traveller.
Kansas does not have to 90 out OF
the state to find examples OF the e.
feet OF the secret rebate system 1t
IS not only the beef trust and grain
trust and the Standard OIL trust. with
the headquarters at Chicago. New
York and Kansas City, but within our
own borders the rebate has been en-
plOyed by the railroads to increase or
decrease business. The testimony Of
fered in the salt rate case, now be-
fore the railroad board, shows what
the railroads have done along the line
In this state. II other lines were as
carefully investigated, and witnesses
were as free 10 testify more rebates
might be discovered But enough IS
already known to make il clear to
all that the salt industry in Kansas Is
entirely dependent on the railroads for
existence and where the roads have
cared to they have stified and COM
pIetely killed many plants and are
now said to be greatly hindering the
industry in this state to the very great
advantage OF the industry in Michi-
gan Kansas has salt enough to sup
ply the earth for a hundred years yet
only few plants can be operated be-
cause the railroads make it unpro6t-
able. The state has done what it can
20 adjust its rates but cannot DO All,
Tor this reason and for many others
kansas is favorable to government
supervision Of rate making.

COURTS AND CONSTITUTIONS.


Colonel Thomas Benton Murdoch,
the ~c1A OF Walnut valley who often
gets ONE good things, raises a
question over which other people have
pondered more or less Here it is:
''WiH some technical court Judge
be so kind as TO point out a clause in
the Kansas constitution. OF a law on
the Kansas statutes that authorizes,
empowers or permits a Judge OF a
court to declare q legislative enact
ment unconstitutional We would
like 10 take a couple OF chairs and sit
down and read it
OF course il is doubtless as clear as
Missouri river water to the courts and
lawyers, but il is difficult for an Ordi-
nary plug individual to understand
how a court, to use a Copeland cOun-
ty idiOm, gets any chips in the game
concerning the constitUtiOnality Of a
law that has been legally passed by a
legislative body.
A legislature usually considers the
constitution in passing its laws, and
as a body it tries to make them con-
stitutiOnal. But it not infrequently
happens that If the law is very i'm
pOrtant and especially if it is intend
ed 70 regulate some corporation, a
court steps in and decides that it is
unconstitutional"
Is not a court intended to cOnstTue
the laws passed by the representatives
of the people and to deal out justice
in accordance with them? When it
assumes the right to review legislation
and decide whether or not il is pro-
per, is it not encrOaching on the legis-
latiye department of the government?
Of course 1t is the custom Of courts
to pass on these questions, but would
it be so if the precedent were wiped
Out2 Would it not be considered as
an unwarranted assumption Of power
on the part Of the judiciary to say
what kind Of laws the legislative de-
partment Of the government should or
should not pass, If some court had not
set the precedent in the dim and
misty past?
A legislature usually passes laws
that the majority Of the people de-
sire, as in the case Of the oil refinery
last winter. Why shouldn't the peO-
pie have what they want2 Is it the
province Of the courts to step in and
say they shall not have it2
OF course the lawyers, in their
great wisdom, are presumably right in
playing horse with the work of the
legislatures, but it is a matter that is
not exactly clear to the plain citizen
on foot

An alternative writ OF mandamus

Of Q. P. Dewey to B. Walker Peter

The Smithfeld HeraM observes
that the time is about ripe for the
people Of North Carolina to begin to
understand that they should sup
port the life Insurance companies OF
their own State and stop helping to
swell the Republican campaign COM
mittee with the funds to defeat the
Democratic nominees. The position
is well taken. The people OF this
State send away every year for in
surance hundreds of thousands OF
dollars, much or the most OF which
could as well be kept at home. There
are several life and fire insurance
companies now in North Carolina,
and all are prudently managed and
should be given all the business they
will take. But amidst the talk about
new home companies it is not amlss
to suggest that life or even fire insur-
ance is solemn business, which needs
to be conducted as judiclOusly, rs

A Thought or Two.

Life is long, art is fleeting, but the
the safety of freedom demands con-
stant scrutiny.
The man who hellos the loudest
when thieves are being pursued is not
always the safest to follow.
The true philosopher rarely cares
for thing-after he has discovered
it IS not within his reach.
The froth of the social wine cup
kisses its brimming lips-the dregs
settle to the bottom of the chalice.
Figs do not grow on thistles any
more abundantly nowadays than
they did nineteen hundred years ago.
Any taxpayer should know this fact
Reform that will cover itself with
muck to attain growth does not
OdOrously commend itself to lovers
of nice things.
The tree of selfish politics is deeply
rooted and spreads itself until crime
can safely hide in its shadows. The
axman should be i'll earnest evidence
No man should be denied any place
in his party's gift which the maiori-
ty of the party is eager for him to
have. This is a chip from the wis
dom tree with the bark on.
Society was never so fitted to enjoy
freedom as now. The flower of safetv V
that blooms on the nettle's stalk is a
necessary noxious growth that can
never be entirely eradicated. Socie-
tvs only remedy is through merci-
less pruning. Remember the nettle' S

Probably one of the surest and most
hopeful signs of the SOuth's contin-

prevalent, and tendency that is
growing, to patrOnize home indus
tries and Institutions Time was when
IL father had the idea that his sons
education was not what it should be
unless he got it i'll some OF the large
schools OF the North. People were
suspicious of piece offurniture that
was made anywhere but up North.
OF course a bed would soon break
down if made by any OF the little
Southern factories and of course an
insurance policy with company
anywhere but in the North was sure
to be q fake. SO they thought. And
for years Southern money flowed
freely towards the North and kind
of vague suspicion rested over any
product that was labeled ''hOme
made but that time has passed.
Our attention was called a few days
ago to the gigantic business some Of
the new insurance companies in this
State are doing, and in fact all over
the South. Our people have awaken
ed to the realization that their boys
can get as good collegiate training
iii Southern institutions as anywhere;
that bedsteads made at local factor
les are just as reliable as any Others,
and little cheaper, and that South
ern insurance companies are just as
we'll backed and engineered as COM
panies anywhere in the United States.
In fact premium is put on home in

BEN'F|T TO MANKIND
One of the Greatest Discoveries of the
Nineteenth Century.

There is nothing in the way of dis
covery in the nineteenth century that has
proved of greater benefit to mankind
than that OF two eminent French chem
lists, Morgues and Gavtier by name. who
discoved way to separate the medical
curative elements, Of which there are
about fifty different kinds in the cod 8
liver from the oil and give to modern medi-
cine all the tonic bodybuilding and cura-
tive properties OF that grand old remedy
cod liver oil, uneneumbered by the greasy
oily part, which science had proved of no
value whatever, either as food or med
icine. Thus they produced Vinol.
Ninol is guaranteed to contain in a
highly concentrated form all the medici-
nal elements of cod liver oil. actually
taken from fresh Gods livers. and wher-
ever old fashioned cod liver Oil or emul-
sions will do good .Ninol will do far M more
good-for being without oil, it is deli
cious to the taste. easily assimilated and
won't upset the weakest stomach
Vinol tones up the digestive organs,
creates hearty appetite, makes rich red
blood and creates strength for old peo-
pie, weak women. puny children and
after sickness. end for all pulmonary
troubles it has no equal.
So strong is our faith in Vinol that we
freely offer to return money in every case
where it fails to give satisfaction. W. ".
