Hard on Andy Richards

The Sumner County Republican, in a
recent number. scores Andy Richards,
the decapifated oflceholder and pohti-
clan Of that city, as follows. Richards
has heaped great deal Of disgrace on
the republican party but he is no worse
than TIE average politician ard there are
many others whose heads should drop,
in the interest of honest and decent pub
lie service.
There IS probably no politician in
Kansas, however. who is more unpopu-
lar at home than this man Richards, and
the Republicans article Is very generally
endorsed in Sumner county:
In diplomatic circles In Washing
ton, the seat Of government. where every
thing is done according 10 the latest ap-
proved style and red tape. nobody is
ever fired. canned" kicked out or
discharged. They always resign -
ANDY Richards had job in Wash
ington that paid HIM four thousand a
year, but he has resigned to become
the legal representative of certain Gnan-
cial interests of the east and will be quac-
tered In Oklahoma City. But he will
retain his residence in Wellington.
Now if YOU don't quit laughing we
won't go on with the story.
Ia the wit and humor columns Of To-
cal paper last night, Andy made the
statement that he had resigned and has
a job in OkIshon City representing
great Philadelphia and New York inter
ests at so much better salary that he can
moi afford to refuse. That he will cor
tinue his residence in Wellington, though
his home viii be in Oklahoma City.
Out gigg.ing, now, you interrupt the
story.
Now let US translate this into the Kan
sas language, so that all may fully under
stand:

found on the police court records as

The conviction is growing among those
who have studied the situation that Pres
ident Taft has not gone deeply into the
new tanf law. His speech on the sub
ject is largely repetition Of what AL
drich and Smoot have said and IN h.
faithful adherence to their view. the
president has given expression to their
erers OF statement. For instance Mr..
Tab discussed the duty on pulp, claim
ing credit for reduction, when, accord
ing to the treasury decision issued bv
Reynolds. assistant secretary, the duty on
pulp Is now ten cents more per ton than
it was under the Dinsley law. The
presidents remarkable utterance arouses
the suspicion that Mr.. Taft is unaware
that Mr.. Reynolds decision has been
rendered. although Mr.. Reynolds Is one
Of Mr.. Taft's members Of the alleged
tariff commission. President Taft seems
to have merely taken Payne's statement
and assumed that it is true, which Is not,
by any means correct assumption

In an editorial on the cost Of living
the New York World says: Without
mpugning the accuracy of the bureau Of
labor's relative prices of commodities,
published by the World yesterday, the
figures can not measure the actual rise
In the cost Of living from 1897 to 1908.
An increase Of 81 per cent only in the
price Of all commodities does not begin
to state the actual situation Of the con-
sumer. Still. the figures do follow the
tendency Of prices. They reveal the
huge revolution which has come about
in the control Of industry in the last 6f-
teen years. In 1898 we had a panic.
Prices had begun to fall in 1891, when
it was foreseen. By 1894 the statistical
average Of prices was l4.8 points, CT
say 5 per cent, below the boom year
1890. Prices renamed low for FIVE
years. showing at the bottom a decline
OF more than one-quarter. The panic
was cured by natural means. People who
needed money sold their goods cheap,
and purchases were stimulated. At the
least, men out Of work for a time could
live cheaply. How different the course
OF the panic Of 1907 In the interval
the trusts had gown to giant size and
the law Of supply and demand had, we
were told. given place to benevolent in
dustrial dictatorship. The steel trust for
months held up prices to its own loss
and the general disadvantage. The big
glass makers held the little ones in line.
Lumber could not decline much, because
under high tariffs we have cut nearly all
our trees. Food and clothing rose In
cost: And the stated prices Of all COM
modides averaged ten points higher in
1908. IN the profound depression after
the panic. than they were IN the boom

and invention had gone for nausht.
Processes were cheaper but price. were
higher. Ii was costing much more to

est and industrious men were out Of
work, than in 1890. when all were en-
ployed. And all that we had to COM

Gov. John A. Johnson Of Minnesota
died on TUESDAY morning Of last week,
as result oil an unsuccessful surgical
operation. He was serving bis third
term as governor Of his state aud was a
democrat Of national reputation. Hi.
death is a distinct loss to his party, his
state and the nation and it is regrettable
that he was cut down in the strength Of

Of vast use to his country for many years.

Regardless Of the fact that public officials

An inqrisition was held before Coun-
ty Attorny Field yesterday forenoon in
an effort to obtain information as to. the
source from which some of the boys in
town obtained whiskey. On Friday
night bunch Of boys. too old to be
kids and too young to be men, had a
JOY party in the hall of the opera house
and one>of them became timber and no,
capable Of navigation. The others were
able to 6e and HE and when the city
marshal appeared on the scene all except
the down" boy vanished. The disa.
bled one was taken home by relatives,
who were notified by the marshal, and
he did not come to until about noon
the following day. The city officials
held a conference on Saturday and ap-
piled to the county attorney for an in
QUESTION which was granted. Five boys
were examined and it developed thai
two consignments were received. Three
of the boys Clipped in and got Two
gallons Of whiskey from Kansas City and
the other two got pint from Oklaho-
ma. None Of the liquor was bought
here, according to the testimony. All but
one Of the boys admitted that they were
drunk but they all agreed that it wa.
their FIRST experience. To date there
have been no further Developments and
the sentiment seems to be to put the
boys or their good behavior. If they
should break over again, their youth will
be disregarded and they will have to
take the consequences.
