ANDY Hurt Long

OF the Resignation" Of A. A. Rich
ards, William Allen White has the fol-
lowing to say in the Emporia Gazette:
ANDY Richards was appointed to his
present place by Senator Chester |.
Long. His appointment created pro-
test in Kansas. Many people believed
that he was not fit either morally or In
telIectuaIly Tor the place. His career in
Kansas had been somewhat that Of a
machine politician. He was one Of the
Strikers for Long in his senatorial election
six years ago, and was regarded always
by many people as one Of the elements
Of weakness which brought Long to his
downfall. Longs recognition Of Rich
ards, coming as a climax Of line Of ap-
peintments tending always in that drec-
hon, revealed an arrogance on the part Of
Long to Kansas opinion. which made it
easy to convince the people Of the state
that his votes were as Improbable to
Kansas as his patronage.

An Honest Lawyer

In these days when so many lawyers
stand ready to accept retainer on either
SIDE and to present an argument in favor
Of any proposition it is refreshing to find
a man who is wiling to resign an Office
rather than enter upon criminal prose
cution which he believes to be unwar-
ranted and dangerous to the public.
Mr.. Joseph B. Healing. who resigned
the Office Of United Safes district attorney
rather d:an prosecute in the government
libel suit, acted well. Mr.. Healing
would have found it embarrassing to have
remained in Office with the libel suit on
his docke! and. plainly, he is not the SORT
Of man who could have made an argu-
ment in favor Of that unjust cause.
A word of advice to Mr.. Taft: In
Struct your attorney general to dismis.
these proceedings against the New York
World and the indianapolis News.
Everything is to be gained by dismissal;
much is to be lost by continuing a pro-
ceeding. which is bound to terminate in
a farce.-Commener.

jects for "skinnins" at the hands Of

only motive assigned by the Cresset for
thus marking US for slaughter is the fact
that The Index reproduced an article

The controversy between Gov. Stubbs
and Senator Curtis has progressed to a
point where charges are specific. Curtis
asserts that the Stubs administration and
the Legislature have been exhavasans,reck-
less and means to reward place-h holders
at public expense without rendering the
state any service. merely in return for
their support Of the Stubb: faction, and
as a consequence state taxes have Eeen
increased 40 per cent. All Of this Sen
ator Curtis seems to have proved. Now
Gov. Stubs and his fiends come back
and say Curtis voted for a tariff bill
which viii cause the people of Kansa.
to pay more for what they eat and wear
and use IN conducting business, over and
above what they have heretofore paid,
than they will m the way Of increased
taxes. And this is also true beyond the
shadow Of doubt. Summed up, then,
the situation is this: Stubs and hi. fac
hon have given it to the people in the
neck by wasting public money and IN
creasinG direct taxes. while Curtis and
his faction have given t to the people in
the solar plexus by increasing the cost Of
living and the cost Of doing business. so
that the people get their" on all sides.
Wouldn't il be good idea to retire both
factions?

The square deal republican paper. are
now busily engaged in lambasting Sena-
tor Curtis for voting for the Payne-Al-
drich tariff holdup but they are as silent
as an Egyptian mummy about President
TAFT who signed the bill and afterward
came out in public speech defending it
as the best tariff bill ever passed by the
American congress. Senator Curtis de-
serves all the rebuke that the papers Of
Kansas can deal out to him for having
supported this trust-framed tariff, but how
much greater should the rebuke be on
President T aft who lent his great influence
and official prestige to its enactment!
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1909-10-06

There must be something in the claim
Of Gov. Stubs and his faction, that he
is the best governor Kansas ever had.
As proof it can be cited that the legi:la-
ture appropriated $4,000 for his con-
tinsent fund, whereas former governors
were not competent to handle more than
$4,000.

The Tariff Situation.

Here is the tariff situation in (
condensed form, so that att cau un
derstand it:
- twenty million persons in the
United States are engaged in produc-
tive industries. ,
Of these
Ten million till the soil.
Seven million are engaged in do
ard mechanical pursuits.
Five million are in trade and trans
Tortation activities.
Seven million are engasde in do
nestle, personal or professional ser
vices.
Out of the above grand total
One hundred and fifty thousand
are employed In manufactures.
For their benefit principally CaI-
lrost exclusively the tariff is being
raised from the 44.S per cent average
Of the hingley rates to the 40 per
cent (plus the maximum of % Der
cent equals Il per cent? of the AID
I'ch bill
This works out a heavier tax on
the 29,OOO,0OO toiling, low-pad wage
WORKING producers for the benefit of
10000 stock-holding, highly-compen-
sated prosperous manufacturers.
Is that fair? Or a good thing?

When Hanninn Curtains.

a house decorator gives this impor-
tant advice to women who are arrang-
Ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains of one color against a
wall paper of another color. They
should not join carpets of opposite
colors. They should not put different
papers on the walls of adjoining rooms
which have wide archways or folding
doors between. These are simple sug-
gestions, but they n.ean a great deal.
The woman who is guided by them
will arrive at much better results than
she who ignores them. When it is not
possible to have the carpets alike in
rooms that are joined by wide open
ings a rug should be laid over the long
seam to hide it.
