The attention of Atchison women
is called by the Globe to what is go
ing to happen one of these days:
John Klelnhans, state food inspec-
tor, having put hotels on cleaner
basis, is going to attack the homes
kitchens without scrubbed floors;
dish cloths that are sour; ovens that
contain burnt odds and ends; re-
frigerators that are foul; knives and
forks and dishes that are never
scalded, will all come under the ban.
And having issued an order that Will
call for cleaner kitchen, Mr.. Klein
hans will go up stairs and look under
the mattress. Dust and bugs will
cause him to throw fit on the floor,
and much will be reported as a re-
suit of this inspection that will cause
stlrs in the neighborhood' Mr.
Kleinhans doesn't anticipate any
trouble with the parlors: The par
Ilor is like woman's best dress: II
is usually in good condition. AND
speaking Of dresses, Mr.. Kleinhans
says: "The woman must wear more
around their work than an Indian
cigar sign, even If the weather is
warm. And what they wear summer
or winter, must be clean. ! shall
demand, moreover, that q woman
comb her hair even II she doesn't

is going to give father chance. He
makes this offer:
"For the best sentiment, either in
verse, limited to forty lines, or prose,
limited to four hundred words, Mr..
Woolard is going to give one hundred
dollars in each case. Second, fifty
dollars; third, twenty-five dollars;
fourth, fifteen dollars; fifth, ten dol
lars, making in all four hundred dol
lars, and two dollars for each of both
classes submitted which he chooses
to use in his compilation. All to be
original and never before published
and to become his sole ownership
Competition to close May /, 1910"

TAFT AT wINoNA.

Lest we forget, or misquote, this ID
what Taft said at Winona:
"No, am not here to crticise those
Republican members, and senators,
whose views on the subject OF the tar
If were SO strong and intense that
they believed it their duty to vote
against their party on the tariff Dill.
It is a question for each man to settle
for himself.
1.-THE question is whether he shall
help maintain the party solidarity for
accomplishing its chief purpose or
whether the departure from principle
in the bill, as he regards it Is SO ex-
IRENE that he must in conscience
abandon the party
"All / have to say is, in respect TO
Mr.. Tawney's action and in respect to
my own in signing the bill, that be-
lieved that the interests of the coun-
try, the interests Of the party, re-
uuired me to sacrifice the accomplish
ment of certain things in revision Of
the tariff which / had hoped for, In
order to maintain party solidarity
which believe to be much more i'm
portant than the reduction of rates IN
one or two schedules of the tariff.
Had Mr.. Tawney voted against tht
bill and there had been others OF thu
house sufficient In number to have de
feated the bill, or II had vetoed thu
bill because of the absence Of a re-
1 duction Of rates In the wool SEIZED
ule when there was n general down
ward revision, we wodld have lett
the party in condition OF de
moralizatlon that would have pre-
vented the accomplishment Of pur
poses and fulfilIment Q; other prom
ises.
when / can say without hesita
ton that this is the best tariff bill
that the Republican party has evel
passed, and therefore the best tariff
bill that has been passed at all, l d.
. not feel that l could have reconcilet
any other course to my conscience
than that of signing the bill.
"of course, If l had vetoed the bill
It would have received the applause
of many Republicans who may b.
called low tariff Republicans and whit
think deeply on that subject, and o
. all the Democracy. The Democrats
, would have applauded and ther
laughed in their sleeves at the con
dition in which the party would have
been left"

INVESTIGATE THE SCHEME.

The Financial World points out
this:
"Reports from several sources in
Western and Southwestern States de-
clare that the farmers in those sec
tions who have enjoyed such unex-
ampled prosperity in the last several
wears, have been investing in all
sorts of wildcat schemes. Western
swindlers make it a regular busi-
ness to watch the trend OF business
prosperity as closely as do the COM
mercial agencies of Wall Street. ana
their greed and cupidity have been
excited to the higest pitch by seeing
the wealth roll into the prosperous
western territory. 1t appears from
a recent investigation into an alleged
swindling irrigation scheme made oy
the Postoffice inspectors that one
territory described in one OF the CIT
cu,ars sent broadcast to farmers was
situated on the top of a peak in the
Rockies covered with perpetua
snow"
promoters are thicker than they
aver were before in Kansas. The In
weston will do well to investigate th'
, scheme before hee puts in his money

years of planning and building cars
are now being made that will reduce
to a minimum the chance of passer-
ger coaches being telescoped or de-
stroyed by fire. The first delivery

coaches placed by Rock Island lines
has Just been received and many OF
the through trains have been equip
ped. The cars have a seating capac-
ity Of eighty, the seats are handsome
~ upholstered in green plush, having
high backs, and arm rests are Of
Mexican mahogany as are also the

are provided, and just above, a pane
of prismatic glass. Lavatory facili-
ties are ample, fitting being of white

THE COST OF LIVING.

Atchison Globe: They cry now
is that living is too high. Do you
blame 1t onto the trusts or the tariff,
or local combines, or do you blame
1t partly onto yourself? Dan Good
says that living is higher now than
formerly, because people of today
are living better. He says that the
average man of today lives as well as
the millionaire lived twenty-five or
thirty years ago. The other day
Mr.. Good, who has been in the whole
sale business for several hundred
yeara looked intosa Of shia order
books for 1881, Here IL what he dis
covered; In September, 1881, granu-
lated sugar cost As per cent more
than now, dried currants so per cent
more, evaporated apples 20 per cent
more, canned tomatoes and corn so
per cent more, ri0e 45 per cent more,
Horseshoe and Star tobacco SO per
cent more. Turkish prunes 80 per
cent more, beans SO per cent more,
barpel pickles 20 per cent more, stick
candy 50 per cent more, nuts 30 per
cent more, corn syrup 46 per cent
more and Arbuckles coffee 20 per
cent more He found that meats,
flour and cheese are about 40 per
cent higher now than in 1881. The
figures above almost PROVE Mr..
Goods contention. And you must
also consider that while a great ma
jority Of the articles Mr.. Good found
in his old order book cost more than
now, they were of poorer quality
than today. Perhaps It would pay
a man to sit down and think little
of conditions. Isn't It true that we
are living in more luxury and. ease
than our fathers and grandfathers
and that the high cost Of living Is
really to be expected Did your
father and grandfather hang as many
fiue clothes on themselves as you
dot Did the women folks In 1881
dress as elegantly as the women TO-
a. Doesn't comparison With the
fSS 81 living now and the ways Of
HsInk in 1881 show a great deal Of
differencei Is

University of Kansas, in ecent Leo
ture, the principles of navigating the
air. He said that the next few years
will see vast improvement in air
ships. At present the dirigible balloon
is too expensive to be within the

ooNoREEsMAN OAIDERHEAD.

.,alina Sun: Congressman Calder
heau has been serving the people as
a servant, not as politician, these
many years, and has done Il faith
fully and we'll, while not each time
in accord with each constituent but
he has been the opposite Of Jump
ing lack, and has acted from Q sense
of the right. That Of being a liar
mas never been charged to his &C
count, but in a conversation he ever
conyinces one Of his honor and truth
fulness. He would not essay an cleo
ton through Misrepresentation OF
his deeds or belief, which is RELIEF
from those "get-there" fellows, nor
does he belong to the catch-on crowd
No man stands higher in the councils
of the nation than the Congressman
of the Fifth District Of Kansas. He
might cater to sentiment OF popu-
larity but has not bowed to fads or
crazes. He is known the length ana
breadth Of the land for unfaltering
acumen and ability Of exalted char
acter, and in Congress he is entrusted
with positions of great trust and mo-
ment.
1t is recognized that 1t would be a
grave mistake to supplant him with
another, let such a one be whom ne
might, because of the Integrity he
manifest son all occasions and to ev-
cry man, and withal because OF ard
mons service and ripe experience OF a
dozen years in Congress. The Fifth
District can we'll be proud of its Con-
gresham, and his reputation is ma
tion-wide because of soundness OF
Judgment, labors and personality. One
feels that he is in the presence OF a
nobleman when talking with him.
He never shirks responsibility or
enters into a contention and is al
ways ready to explain any act or any
position of his and in his explanations
he is convincing.
that he will be returned to Con
gress is evident. He ID worth dozer
new men in the place, and is general
" so held. He is today the only civil
war veteran of the Kansas delegation
and the old soldier never had true'
friend. That fact should make hi
return a certainty beyond peradven
ture. AS a member Of the invalid
pension committee his services ar
invaluable. What he does he doe
with all his might and many score
of old soldiers and their widows d.
} look to him with gratitude for tn
fine personal work he has rendere'
them in behalf of their pensions.
