Kansas Tragedy or Comedy?

Those VINO oppose Woman's suffrage
family would vote just as the men
folks do, instead of exercising indie
pendent judgment, have something yet
to learn about the matter. Even if
such would be the rule it is certain
that there would be exceptions to it.
Anyway, there is an exception out in
Kansas where woman's suffrage is a
reality of the present instead of a Wis
ion of the future. The Kansas incident
may be termed amusing by some but
to others it will have the elements of a
tragedy. The editor of the Emporia
Times is Mrs. Mary McCleary Park
man, and no reader of her paper will
doubt for moment that she is capa-
BILE of thinking and acting for herself.
In politics she is emphatically Demo-
crat, while Mr.. Parkman is Republi-
can and is just now candidate for re-
election as county surveyor. Does Mrs.
Parkman waive her Democratic prin-
ciples and support Mr. Parlman in the
columns Of the Times? Not bit of it !;
quite the contrary, in fact.
her confidence and explains that "he
and she agree on literature, religion,
art the nebular hypothesis, the popular
method Of poking the fire, the value of
breakfast food as a brain builder, paw
ing, municipal ownership and the facts
in the Guinness case" but in politics
they are not at all agreed, and tie hus-
band is notified in the wifes paper that
"he has no claim on her as a molder Of
public opinion and fellow citizen or as
a wife"
In the editorial explaining her stu
alton. Mrs. Parkman says that she
will cook for her husband, she will
mend his clothes, darn and brush him
up as our husband, but as an office
holder of vile, venial. corrupt organ
iZation and emissary of Wall street and
oppreSsor of the poor our husband has
only our unspeakable contempt. We
know enough of our husband should he
attempt to press this matter 100 far to
make his vote in the election mighty
small" After declaring that her news
paper is Il free and untrammelled organ
Of special privileges to none ana equal
rights to all. the cditoreSs warns her
husband that if he thinks he belongs
to the privileged class he is mighty
badly fooled. We think good bit Of
our husband in one way or another,
but we will permit no foolishness from
this Republican county surveyor; he is
Il bad lot and we withhold certain mat
ters in this affair on account of the re-
spectability Of the parties concerned y
Let the suffragists think over this
Kansas situation.

The Country's Crops,

The reports from the West and South
make it evident that this is going to
be another year of bumper crops, and
although our. season here in New
England is later than that in the
other sections, the prospects are
equally good in this part OF the coun-
try. The wet May is good assur-
arce of a great hay crop and the or
chards give promise of an abundant
yield so far as such promise can be
given by the blossoming. These are
busy times for the farmers in the
fields, too busy for them to have any
thought Of hard times or listen to any
calamity bowling.
AS regards our exports, cotton is
the greatest which America produces
1t brings back to this country more
money than any other one commodity.
But even so, cotton is not king. Corn
worth almost twice over in dollars as
much as any crop which is grown.
Hay and cotton run a close race fer
secord place, the former having big
lead last year, while cotton won by
$l25, o0O,0 900 in 1906. The farmers OF
the United States cut hay crop last
year valued at s744,OOO, 900. The Agri-
cultural Department reports show
that in the past five years the average
value Of Americas four leading farm
products We're: Corn, $1,O6S 600, O00;
cotton, 1851 600, 900; hay, s547, 100000, and
wheat, si77,0OOOOO.

NeqIect of BIaine's Memory.
{SOnnerset Reporter.)

(SOmerset Reporter)
The kennehec Journal very justly
refers to the neglect to erect a
memorial to James G. Blaine as a re-
proacE upon the political party which
was once proud to hail him as its
greatest and best beloved national
leader; also a reproach upon the old
friends and neighbors whose relations
with him We're close and personal, ana
Il reproach upon the city of Au-
gusta and the State as a whole. 1t is
now fifteen years since Mr.. Blaine's
death, and one effort to raise money
for d memorial was begun in Augusta
considerable money was paid in, then
tmdly abandoned, and the money
paid back to the contributors 1t is
absolutely disgraceful. Some noble
soul will some day feel inspired to take
up the work, ana the memorial will
come.
