Longer Shirt Tails.

A novel political issue has been
raised in Kansas. The determination
Of that issue may effect shirt tails
throughout the entire country. II
may help Kansas, and it may help
Massachusetts and it may help the
South.
When one harks back some fifty
odd years, when the Kansas-Nebraska
bill tore the North and the South
asunder and when squatter sovereign
ty was rampant in Kansas, it SEEM
ed as though the time would never
come a"in when Kansas would ever
he in the humor to boost the south
or any southern industry.
But today Kansas has forgotten
the bloody past and while both of
the leading parties in that state re-
fuse to incorporate it in their res
pective platforms, both are casting
sleeps eyes at it and the slogan has
gone forth advocating the lengthen-
ing of every shirt tail in the United
States by not less than one inch.
If this Kansas cry for longer shirt
tails is taken up by the rest of the
country it may readily be seen that,
in the language of Colonel Sellers,
"there's millions in it," 1t is as
susceptible of mathematical computa-
tion rs the sale Of eye-water in India
or China.
The last census Of the United
States showed that there were 39,059,-
242 persons in the United States who
are qualified to wear shirt tails. At
the present time it is possible that
several millions Of others are eligi-
BILE as members of the shirt tail
brigade.
For the sake of argument, let us
assume that the shirt tailers in this
country now number 45,000,000. Every
we'll regulated man should have at
least six shirts. This would make
270,000,000 shirts in active use
throughout the United States at the
present time. The cry in Kansas is
to lengthen each and every shirt tail
to the extent Of two inches. This
means that there must be added to
the shirt tails of the country 540,-
100000 inches. Allowing 36 inches to
the yard, it means that the immediate
consumption of the great southern
product as applied to shirt tail pur-
poses must be Immediately increased
by 15,000,000 yards of cloth.
Of course when we lengthen our
shirt tails Europe, Asia and especial
ly Africa should also lengthen theirs
and the result vii be that our great
southern product, through the boom
given to shirt tails in Kansas, will go
to probably 25 cents pound. When
shirt tails go down, cotton must neces-
sarily go up land the entire country
will be enriched.
Kansas is ablaze with enthusiasm!
The south should be ablaze with en-
thusiasm! The whole country should
be ablaze with enthusiasm! If Mr.
Bryan will only have the POLITICAL
forethougkt to endorse the Kansas
idea, before Mr.. Fairbanks does, it
simply means that Mr.. Bryan will be
the next president Of this republic.
1t means that the coming political
battleflag will be heightened shirt
tail, the great unwashed will be known
as the shirt tail democracy and in No.
vcmbcr, 1908, victory will proudly
perch upon our banners, brought
about by the shirt tail cry that first
echoed throughout Kansas.

TILLMAN STATES PLAN

Continued From Page Two.)

bination Of political and other influ-
ences in the house having failed in
that, compelled the election of a new
board because they refused to change
the law and continued all of the old
and proven evils. 1t was the most

\ fused To put safeguards around the
purchase of whiSkcy and change the
system of management in the last leg
iSlaturc ought to be left at home
Such men cannot be trusted. They
put partisan advantage above public
duty.
"LcgiSlators are not the masters of
the people. They are their servants
and the people had not instructed
them to abolish the state diSpenSarv,
for there was no such issue when they
were elected; and when they them
selves were responsible, or their pre-
decessors were responsible, for the
corruption which they had reason to
believe existed, it is incomprehensible
to me how any man with the least
idea of obligation to the people who
elected him could act as that legisla-
ture did. The people have right to
destroy the dispensary, but no mere
representative of the people has a
right to assume such responsibility
as that would have been without hav-
ing campaign and making the issue
before the people and getting instruc-
tions from them. All have ever ask
ed is to have all of the white people
pass on the question and let the ma
jority govern. I do not believe in
permitting newspapers to dictate to a
few schcmin" politicians and to trade

ti"n. If the people of county want
