MORE SPASMS.

A certain element in Wall Street con-
tinues to have spasms because Presi-
dent Roosevelt insists on honesty on
the part of corporation magnates. A
Representative of this element in a
financial review this week says:
1.-The pack of wolves who are pursu-
ing captains of industry in these days
of socialism and raw demagoguery
must froth in the mouth when they
read the record which came out this
week Of Union Pacific for the last fiscal
year and learn that it has earned act
ually 214 per cent on it's 1872 million-odd
of common stock. This magnificent
mark of genius on the part of the great
est railroad executive America or any
other country ever produced must strike
red in the mind of a pursuing admin
istration, but the thousands of Pacific
stockholders will read in it only the in
dications of splendid management, and
will wish that such undesirable citizens
could be multiplied by the score
STILL a well-known railroad attorney
recently referred privately to some of
the financial manipulations of these
captains of industry as grand larceny
on q large scale"

A COMPARISON.

A direct primary without any specinc
law to govern it would be each. Kan
sas never would know just who was the
choice of the Republicans for Office
Abilene Reflector.
But it would come a whole lot nearer
knowing than Il the nominations were
made by convention. In the ordinary
state convention q vast majority of the
delegates are chosen with reference to
some particular office. Usually that
office is governor, but frequently some
''favorite son." a candidate for some
other office. is allowed to name his
county delegation so that he can use
it for trading purposes. Thus it comes
about that even il the delegates repre-
sent their county with reference to one
office. it is by mo means certain that
they will do so on other offices. for no
one knows the real sentiment of the
county for most of the other offices.
But in case of a primary every voter
expresses his choice concerning each
office. He votes for railroad commits
sioner, or attorney general, just as much
as he does for governor. although his
county may have candidate for super
intendent of insurance, There will be
no trading.
Yes, direct primary will come far
nearer towards disclosing the real choice
OF the party than will convention.

THE POLITICIAN.

The ways of the politician, my son,
like that of Bret Harte's Chinese &C
quaintance. are devious.
He Is possessed of an ambition to
run for Office. and verify he hieth
himself to Topeka to be interviewed
in the newspapers.
He pumpetb the reporter full of hot
air concerning his opinions and
shooteth off his mouth about his pur-
poses and suspicious, and he is puffed
with pride when the scribe correcteth
his bad grammar and printeth them.
81 will get me home" he sayeth to
himself, "and show the neighbors how
/ get my name into print and that my
sayings are worthy of record in the
public press. Then the people will
>elect me to the state senate or some
thing equally as good
But when he reacheth home the
populace is displeased with his inter-
view and it throweth bricks at him.
The local press calleth him down and
showeth him wherein he erred in his
utterances.
And straightway he calleth the re-
porter liar and denieth that he ever
said it.
ST have been misquoted,T he sayeth.
81 made mention of no such things as
I am represented as saying, or IL 1 did.
1 was speaking of some one else.
Verify, L am a great martyr, and 1 be-
lieve only what the people want me to
believe"
Then the people rise up and say:
Behold what great liars are the
newspapers and their reporters! Why
do they deal thus unfairly with our
great men and our aspirants for jobs?
They have put things in the mouth of
our fellow citizen, the Honorable
William Snort that he never dreamed
of uttering. Long live Honorable
Snorti'' -fs
And the reporter, who hath no rea-
son for misquoting Honorable Snort
and whose memory is trained to re-
peat correctly all things that are said,
smileth to himself as he enrolleth
Honorable Snort in his private list of
members of the Ananias club
Yet when the Honorable Snort again
wishes to break into print and get
boosted for office, verify the reporter
forgiveth the past, and straightway
he telleth what Great Statesman
Snort is. The scribe is long-suffering
and chuck full of forgiveness.

AYHAWKER JOTS


An Abilene editor speaks of "the
holes in the paving on Kansas ave-
nue." in Topeka. Must be he has not
visited the state capital in the last
year or so.
Out at Bison a sorghum mill has

makes Kansas go back to first prin-
ciples for spread"
Up at Hiawatha twenty homes have
had hardwood floors put in this sum-
mer. Pretty soon most of the popula-

them without falling down.
A Greenwood county farmer recent

grapes 5 inches long and 16 inches
in circumference, which is pretty fair
for year when fruit was failure

Kansas newspaper editors, the
LeavenwoHth Times thinks, will never
forgive the railroad commissioners If
they keep on insisting that the Mis-

branch into a railroad. The Central
branch has been prolific scource OF
humor.
Another apparent instance of fake
soliciting has come to light in lola
Some time ago a pretty girl appeared

twin ears, sprinsins from the sa me

ears but of ordinary size. Each has
an individual covering or husk of Its
own and there is also a husk which
practically covers the two ears.
Speaking of financiering the Abilene

He wanted to enter it at the fair but
