SUPPOSE?

An occasional caller, who drops in
between meals to look aver the pa
pers and exchange opinions regard
ing the weather, came in a day or
two ago, appropriated a couple of
seats, and after knocking the ashes
from his cigar, proceeded to ventil-
ate his mind in the form following:
suppose, now, convention was
being held in which there were more
Mormons than any other kind of peo-
pie; that thereby he was en- rapport,
so to speak, with them and could get
the floor, command recognition and
elicit approval of anything he might
see fit to say that was favorable to
his people, or at least not in oppo-
sition to them; that in a burst of
oratory, or whatever else you want
to call it, he had maligned, traduced
and misrepresented the Gentiles and
placed their purposes and desires in
false light; that he had thereupon
clinched his statements by boldly an
nouncing that the president of the
United States was in league with
them and thereby he (the speaker)
hated and despised such president;
that thereupon the speaker was greet
ed with cheers, hurrahs and braves
extending for some time, whereby the
convention adopted the language as
it's own and gave it the fullest ap-
prevail
well, would 1t be the case that
when one of the more sensible and
cool-headed of the delegates, realiz-
ing what asses they were being con-
verified into by such procedure, OBJ
jected to it and thereupon, to save
time and discussion" the Offensive"
words should be withdrawn by the
one uttering them, would it all be
treated as If it had not occurred?
Would the announcement by the
Mormon chairman that when a good
brother stopped over little it didn't
count, have settled it?
Would the church organs faxed
up report of the affair, supplemented
by editorial excuses in which Ian
guage was put into the mouths of the
speakers which they did not use and
other language that they did use was
not given, square things satisfactor-
lily, so that nothing of it would go to
national headquarters where such de-
tails might provoke unsatisfactory
results?
COR would the incident have been
blazoned under great head lines,
grossly exaggerated and sent broad
cast throughout the land as another
evidence of Mormon disloyalty?
"Suppose-well, never mind; you
can do the rest of the supposing
yourself"
And with a few more random re-
marks, he sadly and thoughtfully
walked away, no wiser and no richer
than when he came in.

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW.
Copyrighted, 1906. by William G
Sprague, President The Sprague
Correspondence School of


NTRACTS-Infants, or minors,
are persons, male or female. under the
age of twenty-one years. In all but
of age at eighteen. The law relating
to infants contracts is for the pro-
lection of the infant himself. He Is
assumed not to be able to protect him
self. The age limit, twenty-one years,
was fixed in the law many years ago.
Perhaps were the law to be formulated
anew the limit would be set lower.
Young men and younger women enter
upon business life nowadays earlier
than formerly. However, in no iuris-
diction, so far as we have learned, has
there been any serious attempt made
to set the limit of infancy lower than
twenty-one years, except, as stated, In
case of females.
1t is common to hear it said that an
infants contracts are void, that one
under the age cannot make binding
contract. This is an unsafe statement
of the rule, If, indeed, not an incorrect
one. 1t were better to say that in
fants' contracts are voidable, that Is,
he may avoid them If he so desires;
but there are even exceptions to this
as we snail see. IL an lHIdut COIL
tracts were void neither party could
be held to them. but it is clear in the
law that If the infant wants the con-
tract to stand he can compel its per-
Torrance on the part of the adult deal
ing with him; in other words, the plea
of infancy is personal privilege, and
one of age who makes a contract with
an infant Is bound so long as the infant
performes his part of the contract
A contract that Is voidable on the
part of the infant may, upon his reach
ing maturity, be ratified by him, in
which case both parties will be bound.
Where this contract is voidable, as Is
generally the case, he must avoid it
before he becomes of age or at once
after becoming of age, or he will be
held as having ratified 1t.
There are instances where the con-
tract of an infant is valid and cannot
be avoided by him. These contracts
are such as are made for the necessar-
les of life under certain circumstan-
ces In a sense It is scarcely proper,
however, to say that he is bound by
his contract for necessaries He is,
strictly speaking, not bound as on a
contract at all; in other words, not

generally it has been held that when
an infant falsely represents himself
to be of age and thereby induces an
other to make contract with him, the
infant is not liable.

caused unusual conservatism a the
Northwest until this week, when the
outlook became sufficiently cncour-
laying to restore confidence. In many
iobbing lines there is no prospect of
vigorous activity until fall, but whole
sale distribution is now heavy and re-
tail business is only retarded at points
where temporary weather conditions
are adverse. Little idle machinery IS
reported at manufacturing plants, eX-

land several substantial increases in
wages became effective on June /.
Railway earnings thus far recorded for
May exceeded last years by Ill per

fer the last week showed gains of 81
704.6S1 in imports and $491,734. in
exports. Money is retugning from
san Francisco and more gold has
been engaged abroad but the security
market rules comparatively quiet.
Aside from the strike of founders and
moulders the iron and steel industry
is in splendid condition. No decrease
in activity in textile machinery mas
occurred although it is believed that
come mills are overtaking orders and

cotton goods developed little weak

The ladies held a church social to which
they took articles TO be offered for sale
and they were to be credited on the do
nation an amount equal to the price
their respective articles should sell for.
Now my wife decided to take a cake
After some very deep kitchen mathe-
matics-into which no man may enter

wondered what she would do If It sold
for less. But it didn't I attended the
social not knowing the exact conditions

greater the donation I wish I never

thing she said was, Why, George, you
have paid 81 80 for a soc cake. I know
because I made 1t myself I saw I was
in for it then, because my wife is ex-

The replies made by Congressman P.
P. Campbell 10 the Square Deal" dues-
tons are apt and all that any fair
minded man could ask. While the an
swers are very brief. they disclose the
Third district congressman's state of
mind OF course a congressman has
nothing to do with the measures to be
passed by the Kansas legislature, but
Mr.. Campbell sets good example for
others to follow.
The answers made by ". L. Gun
ninghan, of Arkansas City, a legisla-
tive nominee in Cowley county. are also
TO the point. and they are somewhat
more extended than are those Of Mr..
Campbell.
It win be noticed, however, that
neither Mr.. Campbell nor Mr. Cunning
ham unqualifiedly endorse the ques-
lions in the shape they are put by the
Square Deal" representatives There
is room for wide difference of opinion
concerning the details of some of the
things these questions advocate, and
the wise legislator will hardly tie him
self unequivocally to the exact ideas
laid down by the questions. It is doubt
full if those who participated in the
meeting which promulgated the quer-
les would agree on the details.
For instance, the question concerning
the primary election law specifies that
it shall compel AL parties to nomi-
nate all officers from United States sen
ator down to township trustee by a
direct vote of the people on the same
day and at the same time throughout
the state, with strict and rigid stipula-
ton for the qualification Of voters, and
making it a penal offense," etc. There
are good many problems to be worked
out in connection with primary law
to apply TO an entire state, and the
details laid down in this question might
be good and they might not MI
Campbell assents to the primary idea
in general. He desires law that nwill
be satisfactory and just to all parts Of
the state.
The Square DEAR question concern
ing the prohibition of passes excepts
only bona fide employees of railroad
companies and their immediate fami-
lies" Mr.. Campbell refers to his &C.
ord in voting for the prohibition of in
terstate passes in congress. which
makes makes considerable list of ex-
ceptions. Doubtless the congressional
list would be perfectly acceptable to the
Square Dealers" Governor Hoch en-
dorses the anti-pass measure as adopt
ed by congress.
Mr. Campbell speaks guaredly, but
justly, on the two-eent fare proposition.
He declares for the lowest passenger
rates that conditions will justify, keep
ing in mind a square deal to the rail-
roads as we'll as to the people
But after all. if the state of Kansas
had the right sort of officers-on the
railroad board and elsewhere-an these
prohibitions and primary laws would
be unnecessary.

WAR on GRAFTERs.

ny the state to new settlers who have
llved on It for years and made it pro-
ductlye Through some technical
error py ofncials made long ago, clouds
are on the titles of many fine farms to-
day IN Graham county, and the graft
consists in holding up the present own
