AS . little campaign argument the
insurgents have given out to the
public that the capitol commission
has expended something like So. 500
of the money appropriated for build
ing a portion of the structure for
clerk nile and stenographer fees. The
vouchers in The office of the treasurer
show that less than $500 has been
spent for clerk hire and stenogra-
pher fees, and the rest has gone in
proper channel for plans and what
building has been accomplished. A
matter OF a Misrepresentation of a
few thousand dolllrs does not hurt
the conscience of the insurgents, If
they can gain a point by it.

earning 1t:
AS Indicating a growing sense OF
the requirements of Gecency ana
dignity in public affairs, the pres
ent report that congress will consid-
er an appropriation to pay the travel
ing expenses of the president is dis
tlnctly encouraging. The house APP
populations committee is discussing
such a measure and is in c%onsulra-
uion with the president as to the
form which it..should take.
Whatever plan may be found best.
some well-cOnSidered action toward
the end Indicated should be taken
at once. 1t is for the best interests
of the country that the president
should make occasional journeys
among his people and it is only
fitting that special ira telling facili-
ties should be placed at his disposal.
Practical reqlirments OF railway
operation as we'll as the dignity
OF his Office often make this unavoid-
atle, The fact that in the past pres
idents have found it necessary to &C
cept these facilities as free gifts
from private corporations or adopt
the alternative of subjecting them
selves to heavy expenses has been a
standing reproach to the nation.
Now that the public has been
aroused to the lniquity OF the pass
taking evil in general, there need
be no fear of a lack of popular sup
port for the proposed appropriation.
The nation will bear gladly the cost
Of the residents necessary journeys,
III it thereby IA put an end to The
situation which has led past ihcuIl-
bents or the Office to the humiliation
OF accepting favors at ulivate
hands. A properly drawn bill maxi
ing the necessary APPROPRIATION under
reasonable restrictions should be
passed without further delay.

HOW TO BEAT THE ICE MAN
The Power of the Newspaper is Shown
in Preserving Ice in the
Refrigerator.

Sioux Falls ArgQs-Leader: AS the
warm summer months are approach
ing the average housewife is COM
mencing to think OF the ice bill and
other incidental expenses. Colonel
r. M. Woods OF Des Moines has
come to the relief Of the housewife
with a scheme that will beat the ice
bill. That is it may not entirely wipe
out the bill but Mr.. Woods gauran-
tees that il his directions are follow
ed at least half the ice bill can be
saved.
The Des Moines nan says that he
takes 40 credit for the scheme as
there is nothing new about it. He
says that in his boyhood days he re-
members the work of the scheme
being successfully operated by his
parents and many nelghhors
The plan proposed by Mr. Woods is
simply this. Before the cake Of ice
is placed in the refrigerator it
should be covered on all sides but
one with from five to six t%hicknesses
of newspaper. Then place in the
box with the uncovered side OF the
cube of ice down on the bottom of
the ice box. Tuck the newspaper
down around the ice so that it will
be practically air tight except on the
side where there is no covering. If
this plan is followed it will be found
that the ice chest or refrigerator is
not only much cooler. as the cold can
not escape through the paper a I'd is
forced downward, but that a cake
OF ice will last nearly twice as long
il treated this way than il put in
the refrigerator IN the old way.
Mr.. Woods closes with the inIunc-
tion "Just give this a try and watch
the results.
Many housekeepels lave tried the
newspaper trick before. but most OF
them, it seems, wrapped up the whole
cake , instead Of leaving the bottom
free. A very common practice among
housekeepers with n eye on the
purse strings is to wrap up the ice
in a blanket. This is for the same
reason that OF retaining the cold.
Paper will. however, retain either
heat or cold better than a blanket
and will be cleaner and more con-
venient The Whole aim in saving
ice is to prevent the cold escaping
from the ice chest aud the wrapping
up of the cake, in paper, leaving
the bottom open is considered about
the hest and the cheapest way Of
| doing this.

Republicans Ratified.

The following seasonable and sem
sible editorial from the Hannibal
Morning Journal, should be read by
every Democrat in the state:
THE Republican press for the purpose
of hiding their own difficulties, is trying
to array the Democrats who supported
Governor Folk for the nomination and
those who had other favorites against
each other-in other words, divide the
Democratic party into warning factions.
That battle is a thing of the past
Governor Folk, in a fair contest. won in
the convention, and he won at the polls.
He could not have won at the polls with
out the support of Democrats who
opposed him for the nomination. A
united party stood back of him.
This being admitted where is there a
chance for a quarrel? Certainly Cover
nor Folk and his supporters for the
nomination have no cause to feel other
wise than kindly toward Democrats who
went to the polls and supported the
ticket without a scratch.
Those who have read Governor
Folks magnificent speech delivered at
the press banquet at Kansas City cannot
be deceived as to his position. lie spoke
for Democratic harmony Democratic
principles and Democratic success at the
polls.
Joseph w. Folk is a Democrat lie
was born a Democrat-and Republicans
need not expect any comfort from him.
In his appointments he has shown his
bigness by making them without asking
whether they were Reed men, or IIawes
men, or Folk men, the only tests being
honesty and competency.
at is not comforting, of course, for
Republicans to realize that there will be
no yellow telegram" to keep Demo-
Gratis away from the polls this fall. They
are going to vote. Not only that, scores
of Republicans who do not believe in
standard Oil and Insurance gratis are
going to vote with them. Republicans
who do not believe in the peculiar brand
of Republicanism represented by Mr..
N~eidringhaus will ether vote the Demo-
cratic ticket or not vote at all. These
are I'M facts that the Republican
bosses must look squarely in the face,
"The scarcrow of Anti Folk" and
Folk Democrats is no longer doing
business in Missouri except in the i'm
agination of correspondents e the
Globe-Democrat and a few Republican
editors.
The Democrats of Missouri are stand.
ing in solid plialanx-wi,h not a break
in the line. And they will fight under
Governor Folk as the leader Of the
forces"

BEN FRANKLIN.
Bicentenary of the PHILOSOPHERS
Birth 10 ne Observed.


Two hundred years ago this "Wednesday
Benjamin Franklin was born In Boston,
His bicentenary is being generally observed
and. though no holidays have been declared
on his birthday, II is worth remembering
as much as that of any other American Of
the Revolution. The farther we recede
from the birth of the republic the brighter
does the name Of Franklin shine. Every
incident of his career serves to sharpen
our appreciation of the man who, after
the lapse OF two centuries, is more firmly
intrenched in the position OF typical
American" which history has awarded him.
Franklin covered more fields of thought
and adorned more differing stations in life
than any man of our nation. He was
philosopher, diplomat, scientist, tradesman
The honored companion of scholars and the
advisor of kings, he never lost his essential
character of the homely wise citizen. the
reliable man" of his community. Such a
many sided man is hard to treat in a brief
review. but to sum up Franklin is not DIM
cult. He was the embodiment of common
sense and common industry. He never lost
sight Of the ''do-able" in his missions for
his country and his successes are attribu-
table to energy and adaptability as much as
to brilliancy.
In studying anew his life and times the
American people may get a better view of
the origin of the American nation than they
will from the lives of soldiers or patriots.
Franklin was the master of all the facts
and all the tendencies OF his times. He
had been through every phase OF expert
ence. He knew the inner sentiments Of
statesmen like Chatham and of kings like
George III. He knew how many difficulties
lay in the way of the establishment OF a re-
publican America and how far the people
might be trusted to set up one on a broad
and enduring basis. BY going back TO the
life and writings of Franklin we get the
best view of the revolutionary period.
His bicentenary is a good time to begin
anew systematic study Of the beginnings
of our country.

Railroad Domination in Nebraska.

Perhaps in no other state have the rail-
roads had a stronger hold on the state
government than in Nebraska But there
seems to, be only one public sentiment In
that state with reference to the proposed
regulation of rates through the medium
of a new act of congress. In various coun-
ties meetings have been held and resolu-
tions adopted UNFOLDING the president. In
some instances declarations OF opposition
to candidates in any way related to railway
corporations have been made, to be effeo-
tive regardless of party considerations. But
the most significant thing Of all is that
Senator Willard has been called upon TO
take his stand with the president or re-
sign his ONCE. Similar action Is likely to
be taken by other conventions. The peo-
pie are beginning TO see that they must
take a direct interest in the conduct Of
their representatives at Washington, and
that they must manifest this interest In
an unmistakable way. And no senator or
representative can fool his constituency on
the railroad question.
