State Printer on Gravy of
Prosperity"
He Rips an Uppercut Into Ew-
ing Herbert.
STOMACH, NOT CHEEK
That Is Where the Gravy Should
Go, Declares McNeal.
Herbert Replies With a "PrO-
lection" Argument.

In the last issue of the Mail and
Breeze Tom McNeal, candidate for con-
gress in the First district makes reply
to Ewing Herbert's allusion of Gravy
coursing down the public cheek" Nc
Neal empties the walls of his sarcasm
upon the devoted head of the Hiawatha
editor as follows:
I'm a recent interview written by
himself and then submitted for pub
LEGATION, Ewing Herbert gives his views
on the general situation. He goes after
the insurgents and strongly intimates
that they and all the people who sup
port them are either drunk or fools.
The gravy of prosperity he says,
is coursing down the public cheek.
Wages are good.
That is the beginning and end of
his argument.
THAT is the beginning and end of
every argument that is made in favor
of Cannonism and Aldrichism and the
tariff bill that was passed at the extra
session.
May Be True in Herbert's Case
Possibly in the case of Ewing Her
bert it is true that the gravy of pros
perity is coursing down his cheek.
though 1 can hardly understand how
man with a mouth like Ewing's could
possibly spill any gravy on his cheek.
If his gravy were fed to him from an
old-fashioned Misunderstanding shotgun
at a distance of 80 yards it would
hardly be possible for the nutritious
semifiuid to scatter enough so that any
of it would miss that yawning cavern
However. for some 10 or II years
Ewing has been fed on rich official
gravy and it is possible that in the
carelessness resulting from overabun-
dance he may have allowed it to drip
out of the corners of the hole in his
face. Nevertheless his smile is not apt.
If the gravy of prosperity is coursing
down the public cheek it is being vast
cd. What the public wants is gravy in
its stomach and not on the outside of
its cheek. The rich, dripping gravy, to
carry out Herbert's figure of speech, IS
not going where 1t should go for the
purpose of public nouriShment but is
dripping off to be gathered in the re-
ceptacles Of the eastern manufacturers.
Wages are good, yes; though the
test is not good wages but can the
worker get as much for his wage as he
ought to get? The proper test is not
that there is a degree of prosperity but
are favored few getting more than
their share of the general abundance?
IF the wage Garner gets 50 per day
and has to pay a tribute of dollar to
greedy manufacturers he has a right
TO complain of conditions. even though
his wages are higher than they were in
the years that are past
Kansas Is Not Drunk.
mo. Kansas is not drunk again, as
Mr.. Herbert asserts. Kansas is sober
and clothed in her right mind. Kansas
is willing to contribute out of her
abundance to maintain the wages Of
American working men, but when
fat-bellied, double-chinned trust mag
nate comes to her with his servants
in livery and demands that she con-
tribute to him as the representative of
labor she demands in turn that she be
shown that the laborer and not the
trust magnate gets the benefit of her
contribution"
