KANSAS COMNENT
CALLING A HALT

1t Is the obvious duty of the gov
ernor to send another message to the
legislature, calling the attention of that
proiound and able body to the fact
that several Kansas newspaper offices
nave recently been robbed by fiends in
human form.
Not long ago the treasury of the Ap-
peal 10 reason, family journal pub
hsneo at Glrard, was looted by some
miscreants who carried off about
bushel of gold and silver and precious
stones. Inc publisher appealed to the
ponce, instead Of to reason, and in
vain. !he hoardings of years, the fruit
OF persistent effort, have vanished.
One night last week the editor of
the Herington Sun closed up his office
and repaired to his vine clad cottage,
serene In the consciousness of having
nodded whole lot of all wool opinion.
Having childlike faith in the integri-
ty OF his fellow men, he didn't remove
the specie and government bonds from
the cash drawer; when he returned to
MS eoltorlai duties in the morning, it
was TO md that some venal vampire
had broken the wooden lock of the
drawer and eloped with everything it
contained. The loss approximates
$s.S2 In cash, but the moral shock suf-
fered by the editor is something that
cannot be valued by monetary stand
ards.
1t would seem from these instances,
and several others of a kindred nature
which have recently been reported, that
the bandits and robbers of this western
country have abandoned the banks for
the newspaper Offices. knowing that the
returns of the latter are greater In
the course of time Kansas publishers
VIII be prepared for the depredatfons
of such pirates, but the necessary steel
vaults and other burglar proof equip
ment can't be procured without some
delay, and meanwhile it is the duty of
the legislature to do something decisive
for the protection of newspaper offices.

carried off the last number Of the Con-
gressional Record from the Gazette Of

REPUBLICAN CONSERVATORS.

We have heard much in the present
cam paign OF the tariff, injupctions and
guarantees Of bank deposits. Discus.
sions OF questions like these on which
the parties are more or less divided
have caused US to lose sight OF many
OF the benefits which have lone to US
through the republican party and It's
policies. In many cases these policies
have only gained fair start and 1t is
absolutely Imperative that the PARTY
continue in power If we are to see
these policies flourish permanently and
bear fruit. One Of the most import.
ant features OF the general building.
up policy followed by the republican
party throughout the union has been
the conservation Of the natural. re.
sources. Growing out OF the deep
water ways comm ission 1t has enlisted
the sympathy and interest of the en-
tire nation. All realize that the tu.
ture homes, farms, commerce and gen.
eral prosperity Of the country depend
on the conservation OF the forests and
the water supply so closely connected
with them. The congress OF COVER
nors called by Roosevelt last spring
was the first step to protect the nat
ural resources of the country from
private monopoly, TO guard them In.
tact for the benefit OF the people, for
1t is the desire Of the republican party
that the people shall rule for their
greatest good and such a popular
measure bears direct witness TO this
purpose. On the growth of the forests
depends our water supply for irriga.

on the conservation Of our coal and
iron supplies depends much OF our
future prosperity and happiness.

While the general condition of our
country roads has been steadily i'm
proving and much credit is due those
who have directed the road repairs in
the outlying districts, there are still
certain stretches Of highway that
make the driver indulge in unlimited
profanity. The two miles OF road to
the north of Logan are disgrace to
the city. The most Travelled road In
the county should be the best, but
this continuation Of Main street to
the north, over which so many teams
pass daily, is in condition of ruts,
holes and rocks which should not be
tolerated in civilized community.
The official in charge of this road
should be removed from his position
for allowing the road to be neglected
so long In justice to the county
officials we will state that they are in
no wise to blame, as the piece OF road
OF which we complain does not belong
to their jurisdiction but to the NUM-.
cipality Of Logan.
