The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-06-15

of this kind. In some otEer states or
ganizations have been formed for the
publicatio and dissemination of litera-
ture like this, setting forth facts about
the localities in which such organiza-
lions are located. In Kansas the people
have been apparently too busy to look
after these things themselves, and it
has been left for the railroads to do.
So this volume which Mr.. Coburn has
prepared will be extremely serviceable.
1t gives detailed information about each
county in the state, not only as to agri-
culture and population, but also as to
rainfall, lands. transportation, general
resources and historical data.
In California there is a state law
allowing county supervisors to levy a
tax whenever they see fit for advertis-
ing purposes. This is one reason why
California is so well advertised, partic-
ularly its southern portion. From time
to time every county of Southern Cali
fornia issues a handsome handbook set
ting forth it's resources, and these are
distributed all over the country by the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and
other agencies. As a result half dozen
counties in Southern California are in
creasing their population at rate up
wards of 100000 every year.
Such systematic work as this in Kan
sas might do as we'll. Secretary Co
burns chief work is to help the Kansas
farmer, in which he has achieved great
distinction, but incidentally he adver-
tises the resources of the state to the
world, and he is Kansas chief advertis-
ing agent.

THE PARANfOUNT ISSUE.

Mr.. Bryan says that the tariff will
not be the paramount issue in 1908.
Mr.. Bryan will pull that prediction
down inside six months.-Victor Muir
dock in the Wichita Eagle.
This is equivalent to predicting that
| the tariff will be the paramount issue
next year-and Congressman Muir
| docks political foresight is usually
pretty good.
If the tariff is the paramount issue,
then of necessity the two great parties
must take opposite sides of the ques-
ton. OF course. the Democracy will
declare for tariff revision; and Mr..
Murdock's prophecy would make the
Republicans declare for the reverse.
But will they do it? 1t seems hardly
possible that they will, for such a
declaration would drive thousands of
votes to the Democrats. It might elect
a Democratic congress on a tariff re-
vision issue, and the tariff advocates
do not wish such calamity as that to
befall them.
= If the protected interests control the
next Republican national convention
| to the extent that they can keep it
from declaring openly for tariff revi-

vaguely about revision at some remote
and indefinite time in the future.
| There is a bare possibility. however,
that the people themselves would then
take the matter in hand and demand
| from their candidates a positive dec
laration on the question. This would
! make 1t a paramount issue in some
localities. without doubt

GLOBE SIGHTS.
IFrom the Atchison Globe

IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
There is a good deal of inhumanity
in human nature.
No one ever takes a real good look
at a horrible example.
Everyone is superstitious enough to
believe in the dollar sign.
The fast" young man usually is
about everything but his work
1t is hard to argue with man who
gives the Lord as his authority
You can't judge the speed of To-
connective by the way it whistles.
The theory that the good die young
worries mothers more than 1t should.
The man who isn't in love is the
only one who knows much about 1T.
An Atchison old girl says of herself
that she is a peach, but that she is
canned.
A prize fighter never gets whipped
so severely he can't explain why he
should have won.
The encore doesn't have to be man
ifested very violently if you are pre-
pared to respond
AS we grow older, we are all COM
! PEELED to give up much of the "spunk'
we displayed in youth.
A boy may be a. bit cowardly in
| other respects, but dyspepsia never
has any terrors for him.
Nothing makes a man look so com
pletely married as to take care OF a
baby in a dry goods store.
When a travelling man does find
hotel that suits him, he isn't back
ward about Dragging on It.
There may not be much left after
the average picnic dinner has been
eaten, but if there is. cake Is always
pretty we'll represented.
What has become of the old-fash-
toned dentist who told every woman
he pulled teeth for that hers were the
hardest he ever pulled?
A man is pretty superstitious If he
imagines killing a cat will bring him
! worse luck than letting it howl all
night under his bedroom window.
There is one thing no healthy boy
can understand: How any person
can be so sick as to refuse to eat the
good things the neighbors bring In.
A woman whose husband doesn't
drink can always give a vivid descrip-
ton of the fierce treatment she would
administer TO him If he came home
drunk.
Do you own little dog that barks
all night? Ever occur to you that
hundreds of people in the neighbour
hood are easily annoyed? And the
meanest and most impolite act posi-
BILE Is to unnecessarily annoy people.
If the whole world loves a lover it
has a queer way of showing 1t. When
a man and woman begin making eyes
at each other, the world smiles; when
they are seen in public walking close
ly together. holding hands. or ex-
changes caresses, the world is con-
vulsed, and finally when the woman
walks up the church aisle and meets
the frightened, haggard looking man
at the marriage altar, the world
bursts out laughing
In almost every refrigerator will be
found a little dab of Irish potatoes
left from the previous meal and put
away to save it. The next day 1t is
thrown out. 1t Is said that nine wo-
men in ten are victims of the dab
potato-saving habit. One woman ad-
mits that in the ten years she has kept
house there has never been a time
when there wasn't a dab OF potatoes
in her refrigerator over night which
was thrown out next morning.
