Dor on the south, Oklahoma, and
$1,000 per mile less than our neighbor
on the west, Colorado.
at is easy to explain why the taxes
in Colorado should be higher than the
taxes in Kansas. Theer are no branch
lines in that state, and it is well
known that tunnelling through the
mounains and bridging over the can
ons and streams in Colorado is much
more expensive than laying ties and
rails on the plains of Kansas.
In the same census reports of the
United States you can take the thir-
teen contiguous states, representing a
mileage of 1874 miles of railroad,
and the average tax paid per mile by
these railroads in these thirteen states
IS Sl57.79, and by this report it is
shown that the railroads in Kansas
pay 6S per cent more in taxes than
they do in these neighboring states"

PROHIBITION hide BOUND
so CHARACTERIZED BY DAVID
oVERMYER IN CAMPAIGN SPEECH.
Says No Real Friend of Liberty Would
Put Prohibition Provision in the
Constitution.

Colonel Harris. of Chicago, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Kan
sas, says that he will compel the alb
solute enforcement of the prohibition
law in every county of the state in the
remote event of his election. Colonel
Harris will rely on the cooperation
of David Overmyer as attorney gener-
al to carry out this promise A
slight investigation of Overmyer's pub
lie record as a prob bitionist will af-
ford some information as to the sort
OF man on whom Harris is relying.
In 1894 Overmyer was the straight
Democratic candidate for Governor.
His candidacy accomplished the defeat
of Governor Lewelling for reelection
Overmyer made his campaign on an
anti-prohibition issue Following are
extracts from some of Overmyer's
campaign utterances on prohibition
in 1894:
land no friend os liberty would ever
undertake to put provision of that kind
(the prohibitory provision) IN a cOnstitu-
ton, no matter how much he might
think it ought to be the law, because if
he were DESTROYS to protect the liberty of
the citizen he would be impressed with
the fact that a provision of this kind once
in the constitution might not be removed
had become clearly apparent, and that is
the very purpose of those who have de-
signs against the liberty OF the people.
Their purpose is to faSten the restrictive
features in the constitution of the state
where it cannot be removed even after
the wrong of it has been discovered.
say to you now; / say it with full sense
of responsibility American citizen
and citizen of the state of Kansas, that
no constitution should ever be permitted
to contain provisions restricting the man.
ufacture or sac Of any article which is
universally understandable in all the mar
kets of the world.
And it is coming, the great, the liber-
al, the unfettered genius OF America can
never he permanently tied down TO a
hide-bound and constipated policy like
that of prohibition. 1t tlust walk the
| plank. 1T must die the death and u will

| And this is the same David Over
myer upon whom Col. Harris would
have the good people of the state rely
for enforcement of the prohibitory
| law.

HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

Tom McNeaI Forced Harris to Quit
Handing Out His Bunc on Roosevelt.
Colonel Harris, of Chicago, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Kan
sas, has quit trying to fool Repcbli-
cans with insincere fiattery of Presi-
dent Roosevelt since the exposure of
his hypocrisy and Inconsistency by T.
A. McNeal at a political meeting in
Douglas county a few weeks ago. In
the fore part of the campaign Col
Harris in each of his speeches alluded
to President Roosevelt in highly com.
plimentary terms in the hope that Re
publican voters would draw the infer.
ence that he is half Republican
Harris and McNeal were speakers at
the same meeting in Douglas county
Harris spoke first and worked off his
usual compliments to the Republican
president. McNeal followed and took
"a fall out Of the Chicago colonel that
the latter will not soon forget.

OF any eight men on the editorial
stan Of the Kansas City Star. the pa
per that has made the most vicious
attacks against the commission and
Governor Hoch.
These are the men Governor Hoch
selected as members of the state text
book commission: President Joseph
III. Hill of the State Normal school,
Emporia; Frank Nelson. former state
superintendent of schools. Lindsborg;
Geo. w. Winans, former state super
intendent of schools, Hutchinson; A.
b. Carney, superintendent of schools,
Concordia, and Democratic candidate
for state superintendent of public in
struction; w. B. Hall, superintendent
of schools, Abilene; S. NJ. Nees, prin-
cipal of Montgomery county high
school, Independence; Willard S. Lyon,
former county superintendent, Lincoln,
and d. o. McCray, Topeka. Three
things stand out prominent in the
record of those who now profess so
deep interest in the poor school
children of Kansas" When the state
uniformity law was enacted by the leg
islature of 1897, after the people of
Kansas had appealed for protection
against the rapacity of the book trust,
Colonel Harris, then a member of the
state senate refused his aid and vote.
He tried to have the cities of the first
class excluded from the operation of
the law, and failing in that he absent
ed himself when the final roll call was
had on the passage of the bill. The
Kansas City Star also gave aid and
comfort to the book trust and abso-
lutely refused to aid the people in this
demand for cheaper school books.
Finally when the law was passed the
Star expressed its disgust in an edit
orial squib which sneered at the law
and the people of Kansas, declaring
that they were very much alike, in
their uniformity" AS last effort
to defeat the will of the people as ex-
pressed by the legislature, injunction
suits were instituted against the first
text book commission to prevent the
adoption of any books whatever in the
District court of Shawnee county by
the book trust, through David Over
myer, its attorney.

DEFINES PARTY TREASON.
overmyer Says the Democrat Who Votes
for Republicans is a Traitor to His
Party.

The Democrats have absolutely no
hope of success in Kansas this year
unless they can secure the support of
enough Republicans to overcome the
7c,G00 majority given Governor Hoch
two years ago. When talking to Re-
publicans the Democrats therefore ad-
wise vote FER straight" This is just
a sample of Democratic inconsistency.
David Overmyer is naturally spokes-
man of his party in Kansas this year.
What Overmyer thinks of the party
man who opposes his party ticket and
lends aid and comfort to the political
enemy was shown in speech made at
Kansas City, Kansas:
IT say to you Democrats, vote your par
ty ticket. The Democrat who votes any
part of the Republican ticket this year is
not Democrat, but is traitor to the
Democratic party"
But now Ocermyer's only hope Of
success is based on the fond belief
that he can induce a considerable num-
Der of Republicans to be guilty of
what he would call treason on the part
of Democrat.

the Democrats have nominated for Gov
ernor of Kansas, is making a desper-
ate effort to create the impression that
Col. Harris is being greeted by ire
mendous crowds of enthusiastic sup
porters at his political meetings. The
stories to this effect are willful and
deliberate misrepresentation made
out of whole cloth. The Democratic
campaign in Kansas this year is real
ly attracting little attention from the
voters.
The last week in September, Col.
Har Fis addressed five purely political
meetings in the Sixth congress ora,
d. ct. The meetings were at Smith
Center, Mankato, Colby, Oberlin and
Norfatur. Col. Harris talked to a
total of exactly 996 people, men, wom-
en- and children, by actual count in the
fivei meetings. Sixty people heard him
ut Horcatur, rs at Colby; 40 at Smith
Nenter and in the neighborhood of 300

During the same week Governor
Hodh delivered addresses at Alma,
Man haitian, Hope, Lindsborg and juno
ton City. There were 900 people in
the smallest audience he addressed
during the week. Governor Hoch has
drawn good crowds at his meetings
throughout his campaign while just
the reverse has been true of his op-
pom nt.
And Col. Harris is not the only
Democratic spellbinder who is failing
to draw crowds. David Overmyer,
the nominee for attorney general, wa

For probably the first time in the
history of the party in Kansas, the
Democratic State Convention could
lind nothing in the record of the Re-

tract their usual condemnation and
denunciation.
While the Democratic campaign
must necessarily be one of condemna-

is followed, yet the speakers and the
leaders have been unable to find an is
sue upon which an aggressive fighting

four tails to it.
Professor Irwin has an Academy, Mer-

summer vacation. 1t used to take 80 gal
Ions Of paint. There were two paint-steres
there and he used to buy zone year of one.

Now he paints Devoe; go gallons; and
the difference is a saving of $3.50 a year.

good man; but he wouldn't take-up Devoe;
so we turned to the other, j. A. Boyd.
But Fallon has found 1t necessary to get
a good paint to compete with Devoe. He
got one of the eight honest paints. He
has q big hardware store and is doing
an excellent hardware business; but Boyd,
