A FARMERs' COMMERCIAL CLUB.

While the people in the east are
still taking OF the recent panic and
predicting that good times will return
when the tariff bill as been passed,
the people Of Kansas have been liv-
ing in peace and plenty. The hard
times in the east do not affect Kan

Is true the little town of Turon In
Reno county is held up as an ex-
ample if Kansas prosperity.
Turon does no. claim to be the
metropolis of anything. 1t is simply
a good town in good agricultural
country. But 1t is a prosperous town
il wideawake and has organized a
commercial club with membership
of seventy-five, and of this member
ship thirty-five are farmers. The
club is not one of the sleepy sort
that meets and passes resolutions in
some dingy hall once a month. me
club rooms are modern and the furni-
ture is mission style, and the meet
ings are daily.
A few years ago when the farmer
came to town behind a team that
might be worth $3.50 and was prob
ably worth less, he hitched the horses
to an awning post and did his loafine
in the grocery store. Now he comes
to town in his automobile and does
his loafing, If he has time to do any
in big cushioned chair in the rooms
of the commercial club. He talks
about the town and the county, anc
with other auto owners discusses
ways and means for the betterment IN
every way of the community in which
he lives. He has made money ano

But in our old-fashioned book call

in the Century Dictionary you will

"labors," while their works" will
follow them; and the Savior says,

would dare to say of God that He

is that the moment we get a day

but his muscle and weight, as an OK
might do, or a mule, we do not re-
spect his labor.

lodge and some fellow says that he Is

Congressman calderhead speaking
~ the tariff discussion yesterday
said: "The bill proposed in our com
mittee was a real revision of the tar
~ for the purpose of providing a
sufficIent revenue for the government
and for the protection Of our own
industries, and at the same time 70
make the burden of 1t as light as we
could to accomplish these purposes
The finance committee In the senate
has raised our rates some, but not
much, and the difference will be set
tied in the conference committee. the
senate committee is not riding rough
shod over the senate with 1t. II ire
ouently reconslders rates after de-
hate and there is unlimited debate In
the senate. The most noticeable thing
is the willingness of the south to ask
for protection on their products ana
industries. The great improvement
of their farms wherever manufactor-
les have been built has done more
for them than anything has ever done
in the past. The interest OF all MEM
bers in the making Of this tariff is
shown by the fact that a quorum is
staying there all the time, though
there will be no other general legis-
lation besides the tariff .at this ses-
sion. The president is not making
the tariff, but there is evidently the
most friendly relations between all
members of congress and the presi-
dent"

The Leavenworth Times comment
ing on the Parker factory removal
says: The esteemed Reflector with
that fine degree OF charity which ex-
lists in all newspaper offices, will un-
doubtedly find comfort in the fact
that what lie Abilene's loss is Lea
venworth's gain" 1t may be stated
that the people Of Leavenworth gen.
orally do not understand what a
splendid acquisition it win have in
the Parker factories. The Abilene
Reflector frankly admits that 1t was
with regard to the advertising which
It gave Abilene and as being a big
factor industrially. Nor is the ex-
perlence of Abilene proving that 1t
pays to keep what you've got in the
way Of industries and factories en-
tlrely unique. Leayenworth has al
flowed more than one factory to get
away from It, and has been made
deeply to regret 1t afterward.
