Kansas People not Deceived by
Missouri Democratic Organ.
Harris Pledged to do Things
HOch has Already Done.
DEMOCRATS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT,
But Mayor Rose Still Letting
the Joints Run.
Chairman drummer Predicts a
Big Majority.

Someone has aptly said that when
a chip is seen to be moving investiga-
ton will disclose the fact that there
is bug under the chip. In addition
to being apt the above statement is
truthful. Investigation of the actions
of men is always wise because it gives
knowledge of motives. The fact is
prominently true of political actions.
These observations therefore are
squarely in point with the following
editorial published in the Kingman
LeaderCourier regarding the position
taken by Missouri newspaper in sup
port of Col W. A. Harris, of Chicago,
who has been nominated by the demo-
Gratis as candidate for governor of
Kansas.
Few people in Kansas will be de-
ceived by the attitude of the Kan
sas City Star this year. The Star
is a democratic paper. Except in the
case of Roosevelt, whom everybody
was for, it has as a rule advocated
democratic principles and the election
of democrats. Harris is stalwart
and ideal democrat and if there were
no other motive, it would be only ma
tural that the Star, as democratic
paper, would give him cordial support.
But it is more than likely that
there is another reason. By it's sup
port of Roosevelt the Star has been
threatened repeatedly by Hearst, who
is establishing democratic newspapers
over the country, with the starting OF
one in Kansas City. Such a move
would divide the Stars field and ma
terially lessen its revenues The Star
can prevent this by being democratic,
very democratic, this year. 1t is only
natural under these circumstances
that it should find fault with Hoch
now, who two years ago it pictured
as a paragon of virtue. 1t is evidently
this situation that leads the Star in its
fight for rate regulation to forget that
Hoch was largely instrumental in put
ting on the statute books OF Kansas
one of the best railroad laws ever en-
acted anywhere, while Harris while
in the Kansas senate nine years ago,
passed one so favorable to the rail-
roads that Leedy, then governor, found
what were to him ten good and sufh-
cient reasons for vetoihg it.
'tThe Star is n great newspaper but
the people will not be fooled by its
political unfairness this year.

If Mayor Rose believes in the prin-
ciples advocated by the democratic
platform which he voted for why does
he not close the joints in his city?
He could at least make the attempt
Recently one of the joint keepers re-
fused to pay the $50 which had been
asked of him by the mysterious some
body to whom the jointists pay tri-
butte and the next day his place OF
business was badly demolished by
squad of police. He paid the $50 that
day and has been operating his place
in peace ever since. 1t may be I'M
possible to convict Mayor Rose or
wrong doing in the courts. but the
chain of circumstantial evidence is
so strong against him that he will have
trouble trying to make the people be-
lieve that he. is not violating the law
The people of the state who have
watched the Rose case will be con-
WINGED that he is managing the af-
fairs about as consistently with the
principles of his party as the demo-
cratic state officers would manage the
affairs of the state if they should
win at the fall election.

The Atchison Globe tells of an old
soldier in Coolidge who was very i'll
and was greatly annoyed by boy in
the neighborhood who practiced on Il
cornet. The old soldier begged the
boy to quit as the playing kept him
awake and made him nervous. But
the boy paid no attention to the re-
quest. and the old soldier thoroughly
hated the boy. When the old soldier
died the G. A. r. post hired the
boy to play ''taps" over his grave.

One of the rapid changes in demo-
cratic tactics was that when the leaders
Of the party believed there was a SER
ious breach between the members of
the G. A. r. in the state and the old
soldiers. The supreme court had
elected a young man named L. J. Gra-
ham to be reporter for the court. An
old soldier had wanted the place and
there was something of an uproar
over the action of the court Then it
was discovered that Graham is the son
Of veteran and the old soldiers make
no distinction between veterans and
sons of veterans Meanwhile, the de-
mocrats, in the language of W. H
Ryan chairman of the state COM
mittee. were preparing to have every
old soldier in the state out hust1ing

again change his tactics

ty. the democratic nominee for rail-
road commissioner is seeking the
election on the strength of the cheap
hats he is wearing In a recent in
terview he paraded the fact that he

$1.5O" There must be something
wrong with this statement Harry
Macmillan can hardly expect the peo-
pie of the state to believe that he
owns a panama hat and that it cost
him a paltry $1-50- Even II he did
get a panama hat at SO much below
the regular price. does he expect that

peal successfully for votes on the

State Supervisors at Lansing DIscu=s
Railroad Tax Question.
ASSOCIATION IN GRAND SESSION
Twenty-seven Counties Represented
Governor Warner Believes Railroad
Property Valuation VIII Be lncreas-
ed-Does Not Address Delegates.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. THE state
association of supervisors, in annual
session here, began it's first meetings
Tuesday, and they were replete with
interesting discussions, brought out
principally owing to the recent tax
rating made by the state tax commits
sion.
President Kimmerle delivered his
annual address. 1t was torrid in spots
A special committee was appointed to
consider his recommendations
Ex-senator John Robson, of Ian
sing, reminded the association that all
boards Of supervisors exercised the
same power of equalization among
township assessments which the tax
commission exercised between general
and corporate property. But l am
not here to defend the tax commission
in this case" he hastily added.
Supervisors Kent, of Eaton, and SUI
pervi"or e. G. Luce, son of the late
Gov. Luce, explained how their coun-
ties had gone on the rolls for full cash
value before the present tax commits
sion came into power. President KIM
merle pointed out that these and other
counties had been estimated at 20 per
cent higher than the former commits
sion's figures by the Equalization" ad-
dition of $300,O00,OOO to the valuation
of general property by this years COM
mission.
State Highway Commissioner Earle
addressed the association on behalf of
good roads. He explained the present
state aid law, and recommended the
adoption of county road law and the
substitution of a cash tax for statute
labor.
So far, 81 counties are represented
at the annual session by SO delegates.
Many moraare expected.
Governor Couldn't Speak.
Gov. Warner has other engage
ments, and was not able to accept the
invitation to address the supervisors.
Before leaving the city Tuesday af.
ternoon, he made statement which

struggle for equal taxation. Referring
to the outcome of the protest against
the railroad valuations for 1905, he
said:
II have no definate assurance from
the state board of assessors as to what
their figures will be when the review
closes, Feb. Is, but 1 have not been
idle, and l believe we will be able to
show the assessors that the same ra-
ito as last year between general prop
erty and railroad property should alb
tain. That will mean the same amount
of revenue to the state. If the valua-
ton of all general property is to stand
at $1,S75, 100000, the railroad valua
tions ought to aggregate over $20,000,-
900 more than they do now. be-
lieve the state board Of assessors will
see it that way"
The railroad valuation as found by
the board of assessors, Jan. Is, totaled
$2O7, 100000

A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many Sufferer In Owosso.


No woman can be healthy and well if
the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass
off in the urine when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the kid
neys are sick. Kidneys and bladder
get infamed and swollen. crowding the
delicate female organs nearby and
sometimes displacing them. This is the
true cause of many bearing. down pains,
lameness, backache, sideache, etc.
Uric poisoning also causes headaches,
dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills. the remedy that cures sick kid
neys. You will get better as the kid
neys get better, and health will return
when the kidneys are we'll Let an
