The Chapman Advertiser editor has
pondered the matter carefully and
gives this as his deliberate Judgment
No Kansas home is altogether happy
without bathtub, a bouquet OF
flowers on the dinner table and a
Bible in the living room. When the
whole family battles in basin there
is apt to be uncleanliness which is
close kin to the devil. When there is
nothing on the table but bread and
meat, no clean linen, no flowers, no
shining silver, there is apt to be cross
words or quarrels. And when there
are Bibles only on the shelves in the
dark corners of the library worldli-
ness soon grips the occupants OF any
home. The average man who keeps
clean inside and outside, who looks at
the flower and not the dust, who
reads the Bible and loves his wife and
baby is the best citizen. He is worth
more to the community than the in
diyidual who has mansion and a
library and stocks and bonds and, in
side, the Satan Of selfshness bigger
than woodchuck.

Several hundred copies Of the Tope-
ka Capital containing an attack on
Representative Creech were sent into
Dickinson county the day Of cleo
tion in an effort to punish him be-
cause he would not go into the Rabbit
Book. The voters read the attack
and then voted. Creech had over 600
majority (which shows what the Peo-
pie Of Dickinson county think OF the
Rabbit Book and how greatly they
honor Mr.. Creech.
1t may be mentioned that in Her
ington where a large part OF these
papers we're distributed Mr.. Creech
had 1856 majority, his opponent only
receiving a total Of 1902 votes. That
shows what people think OF him at
home. In Abilene he had 2S4 majori-
ty which shows what they think OF
him In Abilene.
MIR. Creech seems to be fortunate
in the friends he has made and also
perhaps has some reason to feel fairly
we'll satisfied with the enemies he has
made.

The Middle Class Family.

The most difficult Of all positions to
maintain is that Of a middle class
family on submerged income. The
country was never SO rich as today or
the minister SO poor. Everybody
shares in the common prosperity but
the parson. The cook and the laun-
dress have three time the pay they
got thirty years ago, and shorter
hours; but the minister's wife re-
ceived nothing then and receives
nothing still. One Of the September
magazines printed number Of letters
received recently from the wives OF
men whose salaries ranged from 81 200
to 1880, and scarcely one Of these
could keep maid. One household,
made up Of several adults, had cut
the meat bill to ten cents a day
which at present prices does not mean
much in weight and less in quality.
Not one OF these families was keeping
up any life insurance or saving bank
accounts. Only one in five reported
any sums contributed to charity or
church. And yet the class represent
ed is the dominant class in cities.
The average American family con-
tains Ala persons, and the average
income pc. family in the United
States Is ssSS.S9. But the mechanic
with 5000 year is richer than the
minister with $1,000, because the one
may adopt scale Of living from those
below him and the other must adopt
scale Of living from those above
him.-rThe Interior.

Topeka Herald; II the Square
Dealv platform received "instant and
enthusiastic response from thousands
Of Kansas Republicans" will the
Capital please tell what they did with
their yotesP Let US look for the result
in Governor Hoch's vote In q few
places where the Square Deal" pro-
gram was laid before the voters as
the greatest thing that ever happened
in Kansas politics and see what the
result was.
In Lyon county, the home Of Will
liam Allen White, and where the EN-
poria Gazette went into raptures over
the Square Deal" program, Governor
Hoch lost the county by $50 votes
In 1904 he carried it by LOIS votes.
In Saline county, the home Of Joe
Bitow, a double d stilled Square
Dealer whose paper, the Salina
journal, held up the "Square Deal"
platform as new declaration OF in
dependence, Governor Hoch lost the
county by 6s5 votes. In 1904 he
carried 1t by 1,OS4
In Douglas county, the home OF W.
r. Stubbs, the high "muckey-muck"
Of the Square Deal" tribe, where the
Lawrence World and Journal rendered
a perpetual duet on the beauties Of
the Square Deal" platform, Govern
or Hoch, carried the county by lS9
votes. In 1904 he carried it by 2.1Sl
votes.
In Shawnee county, the home Of
James A. Troutman, the president OF
the Square Deal" league, where the
Capital has told the people for
months in several different languages
what hot thing the Square DEAL
platform was, saving the party from
defeat because OF the mistakes Of the
state convention, Governor Hoch lost
the county by sos votes. In 1904 he
carried it by S,1l0 votes.
There is no doubt that this Square
Deal" supplemental platform received
enthusiastic response from thousands
81 Kansas Republicans, as the Capital
claims, but the vote shows that, the
response was in the form Of vote for
Colonel Harris, as everybody with
any political common sense knew
that 1t would be.
No greater exhibition Of bossism
than the program of the "Square
Deal' dictators was ever attempted in
the political history Of Kansas. II
gave the Democratic party the only
encouragement to begin Its battle and
interfered in a disastrous way with
the party organization and campaign
management. To talk about it as Q
vote getter is to impugn the intelli'
gence OF the people Of Kansas.

Are voting Machines PracticabIe7

The Topeka Herald says: ut does
not matter who is elected, it is an out
rage that the people of Kansas should
be able to hear the result Of the cleo
ton in almost every other state in the
Union before they know what it is in
Kansas. Our election methods are
out of date and should be changed for
those which will save the state from
two or three days Of anxiety and I'M
certainty when the result Is a close
one. The next legislature would DO
well to adopt voting machines even
though they cost large sum at the
beginning. They would soon pay for
themselves in the saving Of election
expenses which they would effect, as
we'll as in wear and tear on the nerves
Of the people and business of the state
caused by days Of uncertainty"
But suppose voting machine were
stored in q barn out in the country
ten miles from town for two years
and then set up and started on the
election. How much dependence
could be placed in itP II it broke
down about 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
wouldn't there be a firstclass roarp
Is it net likely that repairs would cost
more than the present election ex-
peusesp
A provision by which counting
could commence an hour after the
polls open is all that is needed to
hurry the information about the re-
suit.

Kansas Great Lawsuit.


RADIO have been engaged in lawsuit
over the ownership of the water in
the Arkansas. The attorneys will
next month file their final briefs and
make the arguments before the United
States supreme court.
This is by all odds the most impor-
tant case ever brought in the interest
of the semi-arid lands Of the west and
its effect is far-reaching.
At first it was considered as merely
scheme for the attorneys to obtain
fees at the expense of the states con
cerned; but that period has passed
and it is recognized Of vast impor-
lance to every settler and irrigator in
the southwest.
Upon the decision to be given prob
ably in mid-winter depends the future
Of the reclamation service in all cases
in which the government has to do
with rivers running from one state to
another. It is because OF this that
the government appears in this case
as an interpleader, claiming that the
states that are the principals have no
right to the matter at all but that the
government is really most interested,
since it should be enabled to distri-
butte the waters OF the nation in what
ever state 1t sees fit, regardless Of the
desires Of the states.
Because Of this claim on the part
Of the reclamation service the !case
assumes much Importance to the
west. The government and the ditch
companies have spent some 100000
ON the case; the two states interested
have expended 100000 or more.
Naturally the people of the southwest
who are directly reached by the river
and its tributaries are watching the
outcome with great interest.
Like no other stream in America is
the Arkansas. 1t rises in the noun
tains and rushes through Colorado
until it reaches the plains. On the
Colorado side have been constructed
great beet sugar factories, irrigation
bitches and many reservoirs, with the
result that when they are all asking
for water the eastern part OF the
valley, which is in Kansas, has no
water whatever and the farmers who
desire it for their crops are disap-
pointed. This 1t was that caused the
lawsuit, backed by the state legisla-
ture, and with all the machinery Of
the state government and its com
mand.
Colorado has clsimed that the water
is not used to the detriment Of Kansas
and that the right to use it be-
longs to the state where the river
rises. II it can use the waters OF the
Arkansas 1t can also use those OF the
Platte and the Colorado and any other
streams that start from the highest
state in the Union. This question has
never been decided by the highest
courts. Does the owner Of q spring
have the right to all Its waterP Does
the state in which river starts have
the right to all the water that the
stream containsP Upon this question
depends much Of the work Of the re.
clamation service, for it cannot build
reservoirs II they are to benefit only
one state and which are to divert the
water from the states farther down
the stream.
