gets salary of $1,000 per year. He
works 40 years, making total of $40,-
600 in a lifetime. The average day
laborer gets s1.5O per day. 800 days in
year, or $3.50 in year. In 40 years
he earns $4,000. The difference, or

The Burlington Republican tells a
story of a Kansas Statesman" one
who was a member of the Legislature
and therefore had plenty of railroad
passes. He was away from home and
learned that by boarding freight
train he could get home that night,
while if he depended upon the passen-
ger trains he would have to stay away.
But the freight did not carry passen-
gers who were not employees of the
company, and he wired to the depart
ment at Topeka for permission to
ride. The department wired an in
quiry whether or not he was an en-
ploye of the company, to which he re-
piled: Certainly, 1 am a member of
the legislature" He received his
permission by wire.-Star.

Thomas Sutton, of Russell, has in
vented a new slot machine. He claims
that the machine will sell postage
stamps, make change and do several
other things, but like all other ma
chimes it charges for each transaction.
The patron drops a dime into the slot
and out rolls four two-cent stamps
and one cent stamp, retaining the
one cent for doing business. If per-
son wants one two-cent stamp he
must drop three cents into the slot.
Another patron drops ten dollar
bill into the slot and out rolls SO. 80.
The machine is so constructed that
it positively will not take lead coin
or counterfeit of any kind, there be-
ing an extra pipe attachment which
receives everything but genuine
money.

Here is a practical question for the
farmers to investigate, raised by the
Kingman Leader-Currier: "By scan
ming numerous newspaper exchanges,
located at various portions of the
state, it is noticed that farmers are
advocating a radical change in the
matter of corn planting from the old
custom of listing which has so long
prevailed. Many farmers say that d
trial has convinced them that an oc-
casional change Is beneficial, claiming
that continually listing the ground as
the seasons come and go can be i'm
proved by blowing the ground deeply
about every third year with a stirring
pillow and then planting with planter
and check rover, thus giving chance
to cultivate the ground both ways;
and in this way thoroughly pulveriZ-
ing it. Have any of the Kingman
county farmers tried this method or
given it passing thought?"

West of this street the city is cut on
from the beach by sales to various
parties, except by condemnation and

be done at any time; but I cannot

Judge Parker's political associa-

Excepting the Hon. David B. Hill, WHO

MS personal political following that
when five directors were to be elect
ed last week by a famous Democratic
club in this city his name was fifth

months earlier been the presidential

Mississippi After
The Loan Shark.

Following the lead Of several of
her sister states. Mississippi has en-
acted a stringent law to control the
operations Of the loan shark and 10
protect those whose necessities force
them TO resort 10 the money lenders
for assistance. The Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal, which has always
fought this species Of human leech,
has the following to say relative to
the passage Of the new law in Mis-
sissippi:
1t is to be hoped the recent enact
ment Of the Mississippi legislature
protecting the people against the loan
sharks viii prove operative and effec-
tive. The bill provides that persons
engaged in the class of business
which has developed the loan shark
shall take out a license, give a bond
in a sufficient sum and submit their
books to Official inspection.
All three of these provisions are
admirable. especially the feature pro-
vidfng for the bond. This bond may
be proceeded against in the event
charged more than 10 per cent per
annum.
The loan shark business has flour
fshed in Memphis. II is practiced at
the expense of the unsOphistica- ed
and the poor of ali communities. and,
IN consequence. produces cOndi.'on
ali the more distressing. Labor, I'M
assisted by money, cannot usually
maintain itself, and pay over 10 Per
cent interest. If, indeed. it can pay
so large a sum. Therefore, when a
lender to labor requires more than
this sum, labor becomes bankrupt at
once.
But 10 per cent per annum is sell
dom considered by the loan shark
He must have so per cent or IS per
cent. which means that the unfOrtun-
ate Individual dealing with him is
little else than a working machine
for the loan sharks benefit.
Our own courts have Pad usurious
interest cases before them in which
this eXOrbitant interest has appeared.
They have been able to grant a
qualified and an inadequate relief.
Under the Mississippi law, unless the
asurv may be evaded with a subter-
fUge there viii be more certainly anu
greater facility in reducing the bur,
den carried by the victim and punish
ing the loan shark for his grasping
and illegal actions.

Tampa Times.


The Bridgeport Comm Herald is
perhaps the strongest democratic pa
per in the Nutmeg state. 1t indicates
that the democracy of Connecticut
will adopt municipal ownership, the
referendum, reform in elections and
the reapportionment of the legislative
districts as its leading points of prin-
ciple for the next campaign, laying
particular stress on municipal owner
ship and making belief in it the essen
tial test of membership in the party.
Just how far the Herald represents
the sentiment of the rank and file of
the democracy of the state it is Of
course impossible to say, but the mat
ter Of fact way in which it goes at
the matter gives reason to believe 1t
feels that it is representing practical
ly the whole party.
However that may be, it is certain
that municipal ownership is winning
its way towards becoming a universal
ly accepted article Of faith with the
democrats everywhere. It's most
prominent and successful leaders are
democrats, as witness Tom Johnson
and Mayor Dunno and many others
especially including some strong
young democrats Of Toledo, o.
From the very nature of the case,
though, municipal ownership can as
yet hardly serve for the chief basis
of a national platform. 1t is of ne
cessity local in its application at the
present time, but it would not be much
of a stretch for it to reach out and
include the telegraphs of the country,
as recommended by a former repub-
ilcan postmaster general. From that
to government ownership of the rail-
roads is but a span. 1t appears THAI
we are much nearer an issue upon
these great questions than is evident
on the surface of things.
1t is not the purpose of the Times to
pronounce upon the propriety of this
coming action or to take sides on the
vital question-merely to state that
the division is in sight and that when
it arrives the chances are that the
democratic people Of the country will
take the side of municipal and gov
eminent ownership. Of all ARTIFICIAL
such as Transportation.
lighting, water supply and others. The
schools Of the country. are an instance
of municipal ownership. It is safe to
say that the fact there was never any
in the administration of the
schools accounts for it's not being in
private hands, like the other things Of
general necessity.
However, a discussion is premature.
1t is sufficient to notify the readers
Of the Times that the day will soon ar
rive when municipal ownership will
be the dividing line between the par
ties Of the country, and it is already
time for the problem with a view to
future political alignments.
