KANSAS IS ALL RIGHT.
Endorsement of the Tariff Law
Has Statewide Effect.

Topeka, November 28.-The
unanimous action of the Usage
county Republican Committe in
indorsing Congressman J. M.
Miller's record in congress,
which carries with it an indorse-
ment of his candidacy for re-elec-
ton and an Endorsement of the
tariff bill, has caused the political
leaders to sit up and take notice.
1t is the first expression that has
come from Republican organiza-
ton in Kansas since congress ad-
journed and the unanimous vote
indorsirg the tariff bill not only
jars those politicians who hope
to get into Office by denouncing
the tariff, but even surprises those
who are standing up for the bin.
There has been so much fuss
over the tariff bill by some of tha
Republican papers that even the
friends OF the bill thought per-
haps Kansas again was going
"daffy," this time for low tariff.
But the Republicans Of Usage,
made up of merchants, farmers
and laborers, by holding the first
meeting and giving their approval
to the tariff and to their congress
man who voted for it, has dispell-
ed all fear. 1t was not meeting
of postmasters. Only one was
there. The action may be taken
as that of representative farmers
and merchants of other sections
and towns. A sort of mental
telepathy is operating over the
state and the people generally can
be found thinking along the same
lines on governmental state
questions.
The unanimous vote of the
Usage Republican committee has
state wide effect. It takes all
the wind out OF the claim that
Kansas has gone Democratic on
the tariff, stiffens the backbones of
those Republicans who are stand
ing up for President Taft, and
deals hard blow to those Repub-
licans who are trying to under
mine the president and bring
about his defeat.

The harmony get-together-kiss-
an-make-up gatherings of the
Democrats at Kansas City on
Jackson Day in January promises
to be as lively as Central Ameri-
can revolution. All available
political grindstones are being
pressed into service now by the
leaders to sharpen their razors in
anticipation of a lively scrimmage.
In some of the heavily Democrat
ic counties the contest for selec-
ton of delegates has already pro-
duced more friction than the Kan
sas City meeting can heal a
months deliberation.
Not until Folk, Dockery Seib-
ert, Cowherd, Cook, McAllister,
McDavid, Vandiver and a host of
other Democratic chieftains shake
hands across the bloody chasm,
bury their hatchets, fall into each
others arms and sing and pray
for harmony will the Democrats
of Missouri be united. Who is
simple enough to believe they
will do it.

cut OUT PROFANITY
Woman Wireless Operator Has Good
Effect ON Puget Sound Language.

SPOKANE. Wash. March . -
Mrs. II. H. Tucker expert aerogram-
list and telegrapher. formerly a resi-
dent of Spokane. who has the distine-
ton of being the first woman wire
less operator in the world, has done
more, her employers proudly say, TO
purify the air over Puget sound,
where she is stationed on the steam
ship indianapolis, than all the other
operators in that service.
When told that clergyman S
daughter had taken up the work and
is now handling the wireless bust
ness on the roof of the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel in New York, Mrs. Tucker
said
THE only reason | can think of
why more women do not go into the
service is because they are afraid
of the Instruments 1t offers an ex-
cellent field OF course, there is al
ways danger when working with a
dynamo, and while there is not suffi-
oient current TO kill, one can get a
nerve racking shock. One of our
men earelessly placed his hand on
the dynamo while cleaning the ap-
paratus and there were queer tattoo
marks all over his arm for a month.
His hair stood right out straight, too,
until the marks were gone.
Il am my own electrician and
there's nothing about wireless l
couldn't do except-well. If an aerial
should blow down | couldn't very well
climb the mast TO fix il. However,
the sailors are kind and they would
help me out in an emergency of that
kind.
Mr. Tucker and | took up this
work when the wireless began to
spread on the Pacific coast. He was
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. in Spokane. We switched
from the old wire 10 the aerogram.
The work is pleasant. When l start
ed the northwest manager intimated
that the boys at the keys were some
what careless with their words and
that on certain occasions a seasoned
mule driver would have TO go some
TO hold first place, but when they
/ learned that a woman was at one of
the instruments, grabbing the the
waves sent out by the aerials, their
/ language was toned in a way that
would do credit to well regulated
I Bible class at Sunday school.
Il like the work far more than
4 did on the old wire system. Mr..
Tucker is manager for the United
4 Co. at Portland and frequently | am
in communication with him while our
ship is making the run from Seattle
to Tacoma.

Z II. Hartman is quoted in press
dispatches as saying:
The farmers of the country were
never SO rich as they are today, and
that ought 10 tell the story. The
farmers have money, they have paid
their debts. they are past the promo
tion era-in fact, the promoter has
no part To play just now in the al
fairs of the country.
The people have emerged from a
period OF extravaganza and are living
righteously Eighty million people
have stopped spending and are nov
a work making money.
This state OF affairs is largely due
to the good condition of the rail
ways and the extended capacities of
