THE LOCAL ATTORNEY"

The legislature in special session
should not be loaded up with mat
tiers to legislate about, but at the
regular session next winter there
will be a matter which needs at
tention in order to bring the 2-cent
passenger rate to complete fairness
and efficiency.
1t is the passage of a short bill to
read something like this:
Be it enacted by the legislature
of the state of Kansas:
The 'lccal attorney" as usually
employed, handled, used and abus-
ed by the RAILROADS, is a fraud, a
delusiop, a snare, a menace, a po-
litical shift and a device, a discrim-
nation against the other lawyers
of the town, an unfair advantage,
uncalled for, unnecessary, a nulli-
fer to a degree of either conven-
ton or direct primary.
He is not requisite to the good
management or good government
of either the country or the rail-
roads.
He is the hfth-wheel, an unex-
planned nuisance, and underbids
other home lawyers on good foreign
business because of his pass, which
he and his family use to fatal
finish of the real aim of the anti.
pass movement.
In consequence, and therefore, bs
it enacted that there shall be nc
more local attorney foolishness II
the whole state Of Kansas.
When road wants an attorney
at given place for given and
certain piece of business it shall
hire him and pay him as do ordi
nary men, and he and his family
shall pay fare same as honest men
on honest ways intent.-Topeks

The last amendment to the pri.
mary caps the climax for absurd
ty. There were land are) some
reasonable political grounds for
asking for a senatorial primary in
November. In many a close dis
trict it would have saved the re-
publican nominee, but there is
mighty little to be said in favor of
a plurality of plurality govern
ing. This means that 81 repre-.
senta tives elected and instructed
by plurality vote of only a trifle
of one fourth of the total vote in
their district may override the 81
who have been instructed by i'm
mense majorities. No, this newest
wrinkle will not give as good sat
isfaction as would the Split pri-
maryland will result in many
opposition legislators being elect

they would weigh heavily. Other
equally notorious steals, from the
foundation work to the last piece

have been unearthed. 1t is pre-.
sumed that hundreds of politicians
shared in the steal. Pennsylvania
goes 100000 republican at every

The tariff question will not
down. A New York dispatch to
the Chicago Record-Herald fol-
lows: "More than one hundred
members of the National Associa-
ton of Boot and Shoe Manufacture
ers were present today at the open
ing session of the annual meeting
of the association. In his report
President John H. Hanan said the
American shoe manufacturer was
able and willing to compete with
the world if the government would
remove the handicap imposed by
the heavy duty on hides. Gov
ernor Guild of Massachusetts,, in a
brief address at the banquet to-
night, discussed the necessity for a
revision of the tariff. "A demand
will be made after the next national
election, he said, for a special
session of congress for the revision
of the tariff in the interest of COM

interests. am a protectionist.
! believe that policy more than any
other one thing has built up the
industrial domination of the
United States. believe that poll

time has come when illogical and
needless duties should cease to
hamper alike our industries and
our people. Wool is a proper SUBJ
ject for protection. Sheep are
bred to produce certain kind oil

the finest wool give the poorest

farmer raising cattle tor their hides

but it certainly is of no value to

X Resolutions

The following resolutions were
sent up from Revillo by one Of
our subscribers with re quest Of
publication:
Whereas, an article appeared in the
editorial columns of the Grant County
Review in it's issue of Nov. 18th, 1908,
scandalously assailing the integrity,
hbility and good name of one OF our
horored citizens, Mr.. Raymond l..
Dillman, and
Whereas, said article, we believe,
was inspired solely by revenge and
i'll feeling on the part OF the writer
thereof on account of the part Mr..
Oii!man had in defeating the proposed
bond issue for the erection of q new
court house, and
Whereas, Mr.. DilIman's position
on that matter, we believe, was taken
wholly from a patriotic motive and
not as q retaliation against Milbank
people because of the lack of support
given him there in the June primary,
as set forth in said article, and
Whereas, we believe such lack of
support on the part of the Milbark
people was not due to the causes

secret and treacherous action of q few
political manipulators as had been
done in the past toward candidates
from this section of the county.
Therefore, be it resolved that we,

party utilization, knowing MI. Dill.
man intimately and believing in the
sincerity of his purpose, hereby EN-.
phi atically protest against and de-
nounce as cowardly and malicious
the slanderous and untruthful attack
made by the Review upon one of our
houored and respected citizens and
townsmen.
Be it furthur resolved that the
Weekly Item, the Grant County News,
the Herald-Advance and the Big
Stone Headlight, be respectfully re-
quested to publish these resolutions,

A Narrow Escape

One evening recently, as Carl Prytz
was walking along Diggs avenue he
a boy who was riding on a bicycle
and carrying q shot gun. The two ran
against each other, the boy falling OFF
the wheel and the gun striking the side
walk was discharged, the charge going
close to both. The boy in question had
been at the dam shooting muskrats,
which seems to be the practice ola num-
Der of other lads. 1t would be much
safer if all of those who carry these
fire arms would remove the shells when
they leave the hunting grounds, and
thus eliminate any chance for an ac-
cident while on the streets.

either side. This was presented by the
members of the other seven German
societies in the city.
