the senate by F. Dumont Smith. Bale
Waggener made it possible, when the
resolution came up for final consider
people of the state vote on the propo-
sition as to whether or not the income
of the plutocratS of Kansas shall be
taxed. This resolution has yet to pass
the house, but 1T probably will do SO
and the propositions involved will be
submitted to the voters at the next
general election.

amendment of the constitution, If the
people approved, by saying that POW

requisite two-thirds vote although
nine senators voted against it.

Hoyt, eighteen miles north, being the
nearest point to Topeka.
AT this meeting a permanent organ
ization was effected and it is decided to
offer the government all the rock neces-
sary to build the road through this part
of the county. There is a fine quality
of blue limestone here and the govern
ment would be supplied all that is need
ed without cost. The town of Easton
is making similar offer.
The other route is south from Leav-

WANT THE MILITARY ROAD.
Jefferson County Farmers Hold a
Meeting at Valley Falls.

Valley Falls, Kan, Jan. 30.-A big
meeting of farmers and business men
was held here yesterday to inaugurate
a movement to secure the proposed
military road from FIT. Leavenworth to
FIT. Riley. The farmers are very much
interested and nearly 200 came in to
the meeting.
1t is hoped that Senator Curtis will
be able to secure an appropriation for
this purpose, and the people Of this
section are anxious that the road
should pass through this territory. Two
routes are contemplated. One route is
directly west from Leavenworth by
way of Easton, Winchester, Valley
Falls. Hoyt, st. Marys. Wamego and
Manhattan. This is the route which the
people of this section are favoring. 1t

CatarrhOf the Stomach
a Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation of gases
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite nervousness and
a general played cut, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and oh
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily.

20 ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson. the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little MIX
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy an
petite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. S. Workman, Chicago. Ills.
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes infiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of stomach without cure. but
today I am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling I
have found flesh. appetite and sound

CABINET is STARTLED.
France Hardly Knows What to Do
With the Bishops Proposition

Paris, Jan 3O.-The French cabinet
has hardly recovered from its surprise
at the proposition which the bishops,
with the approval of the pope, submit
ted to the government for a modus
vivendi on the basis of a virtual lease
of the churches in perpetuity to the
parish. priests by the mayors and ap-
parently some confusion exists as to
what course to adopt. While the off,
hand remarks of Minister of Educati on
Bryand in the chamber of deputies last
night that the conditions proposed in
behalf of the episcOpate were unaccept-
able, do not necessarily exclude the pos
Sibility of a compromise, the attitude of
the extreme radicals, who are incenSed
at the peremptory tone of the commun-
ication and at the dispatches from
Rome representing the vatican is being
determined, unless the bishops PROPOSE
ton is Immediately and unanimously
accepted, to order the parish priests to
leave their churches and suspend public
worship, greatly embarraSses the mod
crates. The latter believe that the gov
eminent, having accomplished the sep
aration of church and state, can afford
to accept any definite solution of the
difficulties in the interest of peace.
Commenting on the situation, the Ec
Clair today says:
The moment for reflection has ar
compatible with it's dignity and duty.
The indispersibility of serious negotia
lions is demonstrated by the vain and
wicked quarrels which are jeopardizing
the national unity"
The Echo De Paris says:
THE means for pacification are Of
fered. If they are brutally rejected the
government will inevitably be driven to
persecution
The Figaro says:
THE whole world will interpret the
bishops proposition as sincere de-
sire for conciliation.''
THE Geulois says:
M. Bryand's words prove that the
government breads a final rupture. Let
it accept an honorable way out of the
difficulties
M. Jaures, the socialist leader, in his
paper. Hummanite, makes the following
comment:
1T is a skilfuI manuever of the
church, designed to furnish an excuse
for suspending public worship upon the
pretext that the necessary guarantees
are refused"
The Aurore assents that the bishops
proposition is an ultimatum. adding:
IF it is accepted. who will guarantee
that the government will not be sum-
moned to Cannosa."
The Radical expresses the hope that
Premier ClemenCeau and NJ. Bryand
will 'avoid the trap and continue the
prudent and liberal policy the Republi-
can majority approves"
The Lanterne expresses the opinion
that the bishops proposition is "a new
defiance of the law ="

CORPORATIONS vs.. THE PEOPLE.

In many a legislative body today,
the contest is between the great cor
porations on one side and the people
on the other. If we could take the
influence of great corporations out OF
politics, it would not require nearly
such long sessions Of the legislature
and congress. The people could get
together.
Eliminate the large special inter-
ests that have their representatives
about every legislative body and nee
essary legislation could be agreed up
on. The trouble is that we have
enormous consultations Of wealth on
on one side and the unOrganiZed mas
ses on the other, and the people who
want something are always hanging
about the legislative hall, and the
people who pay the taxes are at home
trying to make enough to pay the
taxes levied.
The contest between the Taxpayer
and the tax eater is an unequal Con-
test. And the contest between the
God-made man and the man-made
giant, called the corporation, is an
UNEQUAL one. When God made man
he did not make the. strongest man
much stronger than the weakest.
But when we make corporation, this
fcticiouS person, this person Of law
we sometimes make it thousand, ten
thousand, a million times stronger
than the GOd-made man. When God
made man he put limit on his exis-
tence, SO if he were bad man he could
not be a bad man long. Sometimes S
they make corporations perpetual.
Man has conscience to control him,
and when man acts, there is ever
before him not only the responsible
ity to God hereafter. The corpora
tion has no soul, and il it can avoid
punishment now, it doesn't worry
about the future.
When the individual acts, the indi-
yidual must stand for it and accept
responsibility for what he does. 1t is
different when a corporation acts.
The stockholders are scattered around.
No one knows where they are, and
therefore you cannot locate the re-
sponsability. And the stockholder will
draw his dividends and permit con-
duct on the part of corporation man
apemept that he would not dare to
initiate in his own private business
life.-Yazoo City Sentinel.

HE WILL NOT FAIL AS GOVERNOR.

In speaking of the bucket shop"
IN, exchange SAYS: IF Earl Brewer
is elected governor he will see to 1t,
that this double dyed monster, is driv-
en- ont of this state" If Mr.. Brewer
can do so much as governor, why dldn't
he drive them out Of his own county
when he was district attorney, ana he
had the power to get next 10 them'
something that he can't do as COVER
nor. Newton Record.
Brewer failed to drive the bucket
shops" out of his district Tor two rea-
sons: First, because the penal stat
utes with reference to them is not suf-
6ciently stringent. The Record no
doubt remembers the efforts made at
fhe last session Of the legislature to
tighten the legal coils around them
and how the future-dealerS of the
state focked to Jackson and brought
every possible influence to bear on the
legislature to defeat the Body Dill.
Then again, Dir. Brewer failed because
public sentiment is not alive to the
righteousness Of the business. 1t
needs to be educated. It needs TO
have the iniquities Of the bucket
shop" business laid bare before it and
to be shown wherein it is leech on
the hard earned results of the farm
ers' toll. The public must be arous-
ed to secure the proper enforcement
of any law. Brewer will discuss
bucket shop" business throughout
Mississippi and the next legislature
will no doubt be inspired to enact the
necessary legislation to drive them
from the borders OF the state
And if Brewer is made the next gov
.ernor of Mississippi he will give tht
enforcement of the law his NOR
al support. He will do things. Ill
will encourage the enforcement OF th'
law with his personal efforts as Jo
Folk has done in Missouri.
The fact that the bucket shop pee
aple are against Brewer is splendid tes
timony to the fact that they fear hlr
as governor. He will not fail as gov
.ernor. Let the people inquire wha
efforts Brewer made as district attol
ney to rid his people of the "bucke
