The Parole System.

Speaking of paroles asked for Judge
Ruppenthal saws this: ''The Judge of
this district averages two or three let
ters a week the year round, or even
more, regarding paroles and PAROLES.
Whether this amount of effort will pro-
duce results worth while in reclaiminC
and building up men who have dropped
into crime, remains to be seen l be-
iieve that the law has so far done much
good over this district - II the Judge
will make the conditions of a parole so
it can be and will be enforced, the law
will do lots of good by putting men on
"their good behavior :" If siGners of
a parole bond will understand that un-
less their man complies they will be
called on to pay that bond, only good
bonds will be given and the signers be
personally interested. When that is
enforced it will be harder for prisoners
to give that bond and it will mean
something.

record in the big book as paid and it is
filed away in the vault in that big court
house until 1t is burned up in the heat

All these transactions have taken

up how much those rabbit ears have
cost the taxpayers of Ellis county, but
the rabbits are killed, George has got
his money, has spent it for candy and
is happy, and what cares he if the rab-
bits are dead or what it cost. He had
the fun of killing them and the pleas
ure of eating the candy.
This transaction is a daily occurrance
at the court house. From two to three
hundred scalps are sometimes brought
in.

Col. w. A Harris.

The Kansas Farmer last week, on its
editorial page, had splendid article on
Col Harris, the former u. Senator,
Congressman and Regent of-our Ex-
pertinent Station. in which the follow
ing appears. There is no question hut
that he would have done much for our
Experiment Station, had he lived. for
he was always much interested the
upbuiiding of the old FIT Havs Reser-
vation. It says:
ga Virginian, Confederate colonel,
and Democrat in blood and belief yet
his fellow Kansans, who were redited
with being antagonistic to all these,
have honored themselves in honoring
him. This was not due to any political
influence or power. It was in spite of
both.
Whatever may have been his political
beliefs, whatever may have been his
history. all Kansas recognizesyhim as a
man. Perhaps no two facts stand out
more promently IN recent political his
tory than the securing, by Colonel
Harris, of the money rightfuiiy due
the government from the Union Pacific
-ailroad aFt"r "a comprani-.' had beer
agreed to Dy congress. and the secur
ng of the STATE Agricultural Colleg
and the State Normal School of the
abandoned Fort Hays reservation. BY
the former Colonel Harris saved TO the
government more than SIS. OOO. 600, ard
by the latter he greatly enlarged the
State Normal school and created the
biggest Experim Station in the
world
Colonel Harris was a most remark
able man and one to whom Kansas
owes a great debt of gratitude. His
character was of such quality and sin
cerity ard his manner of such Kindness
and dignity that he not only made
staunch friends but was everywhere
recognized as leader. To few men
have been given the privilege of doing
so vast work in state building as has
fallen TO the lot of Colonel Harris. -

Old-time Doctrines.

jerry Simpson and old-time Populists
used to tell that the Railroads must be
controlled b. the people, or in a few
years they would controli the people,
and now it has come to that. A few
men control the whole railroad system
of America. And last week Republican
President Taft sent message to Con-
gress urging them to pass a stringent
law to control railroads, carrying out
that old Pop doctrine The trusts were
the same. wealth had to be taxed, and
now the income tax question is being
submitted to the states, and that old
platform is now nearly doctrine except
Government ownership. Even Cover
nor Stubbs has given one road in Kan
sAs to understand that if they don't
improve the state will take charge.
Next will come the famous sub-troas-
uay plan in some form Those old
Alliance farmers back in the 90's built
wonderful advance idea platform,
and many are living to zee those ideas
carried out. In those days it was
crime for republican to vote with the
democrats. Now such men are held up
as idols, and many threaten to vote
the Democrat ticket next fall If their
man happens to be defeated at the
primaries. 1t is really shooting.

Cream at its Highest.

The price of cream at the receiving
stations here has gone up to thirty
three cents, the highest price ever
known, caused by the scarcity of cream
and butter, as this cold weather cows
are not giving much milk. The Conti-
mental sent out New Years congratu-
latorY letter to their customers and
urged them and all cream shippers to
give more attention to their cows, to
get the best cows attainable, so they
could take advantage of the good money
that company is paying out to their
many customers in Ellis county 1t is
the easiest money a farmer can make.
There is more real cash revenue in it
for the amount of labor and cost than
anything on the farm and it is bound
to improve, as the great creameries
have come to stay and the demand for
butter is greater than ever. With
their facilities of shipping they are
sen iing Ellis county cream. made up
into the finest of butter, to the noun
tains and other places formerly unat-
tainable, and every year they arc open
ing up new markets, making better
price. Besides their great army con
tracts, they are now shipping butter all
over the Pacific coast and even up into
Alaska. The steamship lines are now
using immense quantities, as the way
it is put up is found the handiest and
cheapest for use on the ocean, and even
for trips around the world. With this
immense trade a customer is always
sure of his money and the best price
for what he sells them.

HOW HE EARNED SIX CENTS.
Cost Ellis County Pretty Dearly

Some one told Georgia Jones, a ten
year-old boy, that Ellis county was
paying a bounty on Rabbit scalps and
as he wanted some Christmas money,
he started out to make some for him
SELF He had a nice little gun and he
bought some cartridges at the store
that cost him cent piece, and start
ed out to shoot some jack rabbits
He had lots of fun tramping through
the snow after them, spent half day,
missed four rabbits and got two, so he
had spent his six cents. but oh what
good time he had had Then he cuts
off the scalps with the long ears, gives
the rest to the old dog and pet cats and
comes to town with his trophies. He
goes up to the County Clerk, to whom.
the county is paying sixty cents an
hour, or cent minute for his time,
in great big court house heated By
steam that costs mouey, and presents
those ears, The clerk gets his name,
enters it in book and maybe gives
him receipt, chucks the ears in the
vault and the happy boy goes off re-
joicing until the Commissioners meet
That clerk makes upthe record. and
last week presen ted the voucher of
George Jones to the County Commits
sioners for their action These three
men, at one cent a minute each as pay,
examine the voucher and allow it, and
the chairman writes his approval on it
and passes it back to that clerk who
enters it in his big book of proceedings
just as if it was a Thousand dollars
He then makes out county warrant
for the six cents, having entered it in
the warrant book, and it is filed away
with the vouchers awaiting the little
boy.
Last Saturday little George Jones
came In town and again walked up to
the Clerks office The lady clerk
handed him his six cent scrip, and after
ne had signed the receipt he walks into
the treasurers Office, preseula his YOU
cher to that big fat fellow who, to
keep his records straight, gives him a
check on the bank, after entering it in
his check book and writing it all out.
George then goes to get his money at
the bank and they must pay it out
stamp and record the check, enter it in
their big books and finally on Feb. 1st
return to the Treasurer to examine and
check up. In the meantime the Clerk
makes up his record for the printers of
the county, and in each of the four
papers will appear line in the pro-
ceeeings, George Jones, rabbit scalps

The Treasurer makes record of the
scrip he has paid, returns it to the
commissioners, who check it up with
