KANSAS cOMMENT
A PoPInIsr VIEW


Senator Long and other corporation
representatives in the senate seem to
be preparing to FIRE Senator La Toilette
from the Republican party. They
would gladly do it If they could, as is
very evident. But they do not seem to
realize that a successful move of this
kind might not leave very much of the
party. When La Toilette leaves there
will be quite a sprink1ing of good men
ready to go with him The bond that
holds man to his party these days
must be of some material more sub
stantial than has been used of recent
months. The words belong to- as
descriptive OF the voters relationship
to a party, convey too much the idea
of proprietorship and he has come to
resent it. The present day voter con-
siders himself no corporation politi-
clans chattel and he has been getting
some reliable pointers as to who these
corporation politicians are.=Clay Cen

Only a little fellow,

And gold IN his touseled hair.
Only a little fellow,

A mite in the striving throng.

FROM OTHER PENS
HONESTY IN ADVERTISING

That advertising pays is a fact now
generally recognized, but it is still an
open question whether truthful adver-
tisements produce results equal to
those of announcements which. if not
quite deceitful. are nevertheless OBJ
yious exaggeratfons. The first ex-
ponent for paid-for publicity on
large scale was a famous manager of
circuses to whom was accredited the
cynical observation that the Amer
lean people love to be humbugged."
It is q significant fact, however, that
the practice of that able Snowman did
not conform to his preceDt. and that
the continuance of his success was
really due to the excellence of his pro-
auctions. Doubtless, he was as well
aware of this truth as anybody else,
and merely chuckled over the add
tionaI advertising obtained at no cost,
through a witty observation that could
not fail to appeal to the American
sense of humor. Second only to the
Snowman in using what seemed to be
a daring innovation was the publisher
of a story paper, who, also. always
gave more than ne promised. Not a
few ambitious emulators of these
pioneers mistOok the true cause of
their successes and endeavored to
achieve similar benefits by mere pro-
nouncementS, without regard to &C
curacy to discover that lasting gain
could not be obtained in this manner,
and year by year they have become
more heedful of the Injunction that,
irrespective of its inherent merit, hon
esty is the best policy.-North Ameri-
can Review.
OUTDOOR LIFE IN AUTUMN.
These are the days in which to pre-
pare the body against the asperities of
cold. Live out of doors as much and
as long as possible. Keep the windows
open and fresh air all about you. Walk
through the parks and along the boule-
wards every morning and evening. Ar
custom yourself to the slowly approach
ing chill of winter Take deep breaths
as the simplest and best Of projections
against throat and lung troubles, al
ways more serious in the cooler
weather. Take q final and intelligent
farewell Of the trees and their heritage.
Note how they part unwillingly with
their summer leaves. Observe how
long the faithful grass performs its
beautiful service for the gladdening of
the eye. See the autumn flowers, the
golden-rod and lovely asters, prepare
the way for a last burst of glory in the
chrysanthemu1ns. For III health, for
depressed spirits, for every unhappiness
in the world there is no cure like out
of doors. For education and elevation
of thought there is no better exercise
than the painstaking observation Of
natural aspects
The nightly marvel Of the midnight
sky.

NEW RACE CONDITIONS
FOR AUTOS WANTED
Automobile Club of Great Britain and
Ireland Makes Plea for "RationaI
Basis" for the Next Speed
Contest
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, July 21.-The Automobile
club of Great Britain and Ireland is
moving to have the Gordon Bennett
race revived ION a rational basis as
it is said. This is in accordance with
the resolution of the international
meeting of automobile clubs.
The French are dead against any
race in which they would have to COM
pete on equal terms with rival nations.
They adhere to their old contention
that firms or manufacturers, and not
clubs should be represented so that
they would have more cars competing,
as they boast of q greater number of
factories.
Italy occupies a position like that
traditionaily belonging to the Irish
party in British politics She can prob
ably give the victory to whichever side
she pleases.
Perhaps most people here will not be
very sorry if Italy should decide to
hold aloof, and so virtually prevent the
resuscitation of the Gordon Bennett.
For the nationality of the proposition
is not, at any rate, on the face of it,
evident 1t is to be a speed race as
heretofore.
Almost the only change of import
ance in the regulations would be as
to the weight and its distribution be-
tween car and load. The club desires
to alter the maximum limit from 1000
Kilograms to 1870 pounds each.

AUTOMOBILE SAVES
ATLANTA BUILDING
ANXIOUS MOMENTS IN HOUSE AT
WASHINGTON
With the Aid of Fast Machine the Bill
Making Million Dollar Appropria-
ton Is Changed to White House
in the Nick of Time
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga. July 21.-Only for
the speed of an automobile Atlanta
would have lost her $1,000 900 appropria-
ton for the new custom house-and lost
by a space of only three minutes.
Representative L. f. Livingston, who
has Just returned from Washington,
tells the story:
Congress was to adjourn Saturday
night at 10 o'clock, and at five minutes
to 10 the bill had not been signed by
the president. What mixed matters all
the more was the fact that the presi-
dent had left for the White House. -Four
minutes to 10 came and the bill was
still unsigned. III tell you, we were
getting shaky.
"Everything depended on whether or
not an automobile in which we had
hurried the bill over to the White
House for the executive signature
would return before the clock struck
This interim was one of the most tick
lish suspenses I've ever felt.
But the auto made good time. Just
before the watch hands pointed to 1851
the chauffeur raced in, and Atlanta
was thus assured Of one of the hand
somest buildings in the nation"
This million dollar appropriation rep
reSentS one Of the hardest fights ever
made before a committee. The commit
tee. i'm fact had already determined
that the cost of any custom house
should not exceed $500, 600, and that all
postoffices i'm the future should be
Workshops, constructed on a single
floor. without architectural effects
without an effort at beauty or impress
sivencss. Under this new plan business
was to be the only aim. How closely
such a purpose has been followed is
shown from the fact that st. Louis, 2
city larger than Atlanta, has been al
lotted only 100000 for her custom
house. and is to have a building sucf
ms the one just described
But Mr.. Livingston knew that Allan
ta people would never be satisfied witt
box of this kind. And so he set about
to break the committees ice. 1t was 3
stubborn tug, but he at last won over
| the chairman and one by one the Other
members. When the affair was at an
end the committee itself seemed aston
ished AT what had been done,
Two hundred thousand of the $1,000.
