ANOTHER NUT TO CRACK.

something is always coming to the
front to disturb any calm that might
settle on the national political arena
Inc next big fight in congress will like
~ concern the reapportionment of rep
resentation in the lower house of con-
gress. The growth of the population
or the country, as it will be detailed
by the census which has lust been
taken, will make this necessary. Fig
ures on this important feature of the
census have not been made public as
yet. There is a general understanding
that they will show the population of
the nation to he about 80, OOO, 900 people.
On the present basis of representa-
ton, which is one member of the house
OF representatives for each $4,000 in
habitants in state, such a population
would mean the addition of IS new rep
resentatives divided among the states
which show increases in their popula-
ton. This would bring the total mem
bership Of the house up to 459 ex-
| elusive Of the delegates to congress
| from the United States dependencies.
There is another way out of tine
dilemma. This is to increase the ag-
| gregate of persons who are entitled to
representative in congress- 1t has
been figured out that if new basis for
representation was made, say one
congressman for each 225,000 of the
population, the membership of the
house would remain in the aggregate
at about what it is now, although the
representation from some states which
may lose in population would be de.
creased and other states which have
gained greatly in population would bs
increased.
Such a method of procedure would
bring vigorous protests from the states
that might have their representation
diminished. On the other hand, though
If the number of members of the house
should be increased on the present
basis of representation, the state:
which have increased in population
would get increases in the number o.

WAGGENER AND Els PICNIC.

All of the politicians of Kansas, with
one exception, were pursuing their ac-
customed avocations on Monday-rant-
ing around on platforms wherever they
could find handful of people, passing
the lie and other things, twisting facts
and figures on all the public questions
of the day to suit their own peculiar
fancies. batting the corporations, berat-
/ Ing each other for the commission of
all sorts of high crimes and misdemea-
! nors-gnawing at each others Threats
with a savagery that seems a little out
OF place among men who claim to be
civilized.
That exception was Mr.. Bale Wag-
gener Of Atchison. Perhaps it is wrong
to classify Mr.. Waggener as a politi-
clan these days. He has not been ac-
tive In the political arena for some time,
except as an interested spectator But
1t Is not long since that he was and
he is quite as clever politician as Kan
sas has ever produced. But politics was
fsrthest from his thoughts on Monday.
He was the host at a picnic that was
attended by several thousand children
from Atchison and it's surrounding
counties. AS he has done sor several
years past Mr.. Waggener gave this
multitude Of children the time of their
lives. In fact. there is probably moth
ing quite so fine or grand on the face
of the earth, as far as children are
concerned, as this annual Waggener
Picnic.
And who is this Bale Waggeper who
spends thousands of dollars of his
money every year to make as many
children happy? Not only is he one of
the most prominent politicians in Kan
sas. He is also a corporation attorney.
Worse than that he is a railroad at
! torney. And to listen to the talk of
many of the loud mouthed yaps of
kansas the railroad attorney especial
ly when he is a successful politician on
the side, Is the embodiment of all that
is evil in society. OF course they are
no such thing. But that is what the
| oemagogues have to say about them.
And the men who shout this the loud
! est are the very ones who would not
give a nickel to a child of the streets
to get him a crust Of bread.
When the final measure of manhood
Is made, however, no one around Kan
| sas or in other parts where he is
known would be a bit surprised to see
Mr.. Waggener get the invitation to
lead the procession.

KANSAS COAAENT
FALSE HAIR

One of the revolving things of the
days is the propensity of women to
wear enormous quantities of false hair.
1t probably is a waste of time and en-
ergy Tor anyone to talk about it or to
print things. yet something that oc-
ours In the current McClure's is so to
the point hat many papers are print
ing it.
This piece shows that there exists in
New York City an industry over on
the East side. in the unsanitary.
crowded foreign district. that is
shameful and horrifying in its nature.
Hair is imported from China. where
1t Is taken from the heads of diseased
persons and from the dead. It is sub
jected to boiling and other processes,
bleached, coIored and peddled out to
middlemen, whence it goes to the hair
stores to satisfy the almost inconceiv-
able demand of the women of the day.
The mania for piling wads of hair on
the head until the head assumes an
entirely abnormal and impossible
shape is such that the hair importers
are forced to such means to supply the
demand.
1t may do not a bit of good, but
every woman should read this piece
in McClure's. She would at least
learn something about the hair she
piles on her head.-Emporia Gazette.
RAILROADS NOT IMMUNE.
In this fight against increased cost

are not immune. They have had to

stand enforced reduction in freight
rates and also compelled to desist
from efforts to raise rates in certain
directions While railroads do many
things for which they should be fully
regulated, they are at least entitled
to careful and considerate treatment.
The latest interstate commerce COM
mission reports show that during the
month of March, IL systems, repre-
senting every railroad, north and west
on a line drawn through Chicago and
st. Louis, show an increase in gross
earnings for the month of nearly Z mil
lions compared with March, 1908,
while the net earnings for the same
roads in the same period show a de-
crease of practically / million.
These figures are significant. The
roads have been compelled to pay in
creased wages and salaries. construct
new equipment, contribute their share
to increased cost of living. and yet
unlike the merchant or the public
utility, even. have been forced to de-
sist in any effort to scale UP their
rates to meet this drain.
These are but facts, entitled to SER

Comes the song of the free rovers as

SANDER in a Prayer.

Some one has said with much truth
that the New England town meeting,
organization are SO enthusiastic.
would have amounted to but little but
for the New England prayer meeting,
in which young men learned to think
on their feet in giving Experiences
or in praying aloud. Public prayer
tai exercise as Well as spiritual out
pouring. Some of US can remember
that it also came to be an expression
at times of righteous Indignation, not
altogether general in its application.
In the good old days when the "elec-
ton sermon" was power, the min
listers scored wrong, and, by direct i'm
plication, scored wrong doors. in their
supplications before critical and in
terested listeners.
This element of the older New Eng
land life is a persistent one in the
country villages; and in the parts of
the middle West, where New England
people give the dominant tone to
minatory as the 109th Psalm is not
unknown. For example, at Neoga,
ILL.,, as the news dispatches tell US,
the Rev. B. F. Fisher, of the Neoga
Presbyterian church. is being called
to account in a SANDER suit by Jacob
Stroll, a wealthy German farmer.
Stroll is a religious man himself, but
he is what ic called Cumberland
Presbyterian. Another Cumberland
Presbyterian died. and the Rev. Mr..
Fisher was asked to officiate at the
funeral Stroll offered an opening
prayer, asking that all bitterness might
be done away with. He was astounded
when the minister responded with this
appeal to an overruling Providence:
"Oh, Lord, make Brother Stroll a
better man, cause him to pay his
debts and to cease backbiting."
The "amen'' came, in time, and
Stroll protested then that there
while the undertaken waited and the
nerves of the mourners were on edge.
But the Rev. Mr.. Fisher stuck to his
ground, and no compromise was pos
sible. So the civil courts will have to
decide whether prayer can be SANDER;
| but if it was SANDER in this instance,
whether Stroll was injured $500
! worth. We imagine the case will be
watched with interest all over the
United Sattes.-Brooklyn Eagle.
