Kansas and the entire nation is again
in mourning. Ex-senator William A.
Harris died suddenly in Chicago Mon
day evening, December 10Th, Of heart
trouble. Senator Harris was without
doubt the greatest man in Kansas
statesman, scholar, agriculturist, stockman,
in these he was as near perfection as
it is possible for man to be. In history
his name will live unless perchance the
historian be blinded by partisan prejudice.
1t was he who saved the state and nation
millions Of dollars in the Union Pacific
Investigations. in which commendabIe
work he was compGmented by two
presidents and many Of his colleagues in
congress. His campaign for governor
Of Kansas in 1906. which reduced the
republican majority from 10000 to
less than 1000 was the greatest stroke
for better government that has been
made in decade. Il awoke the people
from a political lethargy and caused them
to investigate public affairs until today
there is, even within the republican par
~. a grade Of intelligence and reform
that has no precedent. and whether the
better element shall finally dominate OF
lose, the effect will be Wholesome, and
to William Alexander Harris is due the
credit for this great progress. Though
a soldier in the coLfederacy, as soon a.
that great internal conflict was settled
and his cause defeated. Senator Ham.
bowed to the will Of the Union, and re.
moved from Virginia to Kansas

1t is given out from Washington that
Joe Cannon will resign the Speakership
and will not again seek reelection.
This action is said to be for the purpose
Of saving his friends who will be candi-
dates for reelection to congress next fall.
The old fox realizes that he and his poll
cies are very unpopular throughout the
entire country but how he draws the con-
clusicn that his resignation will save the
congressman who elevated him to power
and supported him in defeating the will
Of the people. is past understanding.
The car must imagine that the Amer
can voters are very weak-minded.
Cannon's resignation would not in the
least atone for the injury that Camonisn
has done to the American people.

One Of the big events in Kansas dur
ing the early part Of the year will be the
Kansas Democratic club banquet which
will be held February 22nd. The COM
mittee is hard at werk and the prospects
are bright for a big attendance. The
list Of speakers has not yet been made
public but it is understood that either
Governor Harmon, Of Ohio or Mayor
Johnson Of Cleveland, will be the princi-
pal speaker. The state central commit
tee will probably meet at that time and the
selection Of a national committeeman to
succeed John Atwood, made. Mr.. At
wood having resigned because Of his re-
moval from the state.

We are again reminded that the old
style machine papers can recognize the
merit Of truly great democratic states
man, after his death. The large land
smalD republican papers that could see
nothing but "demagogue" in Senator
Harris when he was in public life, now
speak Of him in lavish praise. it was the
same when death claimed Jerry Simpson.
Would it not be a grand thing if partisan
papers and partisan people would not
always reserve their flowers and kind
words until death calls those for whom
they are expended

Why should it cost two hundred mil

The Democrats will have a ticket in

HUMoR BURNED. AND lrcHEp.
Eczema on Handr Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by cutieura.

about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched SO much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. I finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.
I continued until I was completely
cured from the disease, and I have
not been troubled since. G. Burkhart,

for, then?" inquired the customer.
