Roosevelt at Sioux Falls. He after
wards reprinted this same speech in
the Outlook where he added this SEN
tence:
81 think the present tariff is better
than the last and considerably better
than the one before the last
President Taft's assertion at Wi
mona, and which he has since reiter-
ated on several occasions to the effect
that the Payne tariff law is the best
tariff law that has yet been placed on
the statute books, would appear to be
right in line with the idea of Colonel
Roosevelt on this same point, for there
is surely no contention that any of the
tariff laws. which the country has had,
has been better than either of the tive
laws which preceded the present
statute.
And the sentiment appears to be
growing throughout the country that
the new tariff law. with its tariff COM
mission feature, it's maximum and
minimum feature, its many reduced
schedules, and regardless of its several
defects. is the best tariff law that has
yet been devised. And it's further re-
vision by piecemeal as the tariff COM
mission obtains actual facts on which
honest revisions can be made, as Presi-
dent Taft has planned, will make it q
better and a better law. In calling
it the best tariff law, President Taft
did not style 1t as a perfect piece of
tariff legislation, although that is what
some of the fault finders have tried to

PREVENTING TROLLEY WRECKS,

With the development of interurban
electric railway service has come a de-
mand for some rigid control of the
operation of these lines for the protec-
ton of the travelling public. On Sep
TENDER u a wreck occurred on an In
diana trolley line in which 80 persons
were killed and a score injured. In the
wreck at Stanton, Ill. few days ago,
Sc were killed and SO injured. In both
cases it has been shown that the
wrecks were caused either by reckless
ness or absolute disregard of orders.
In the Illinois wreck 1t was developed
at the coroner's inquiry that one of the
crews had orders to wait at certain
siding for the northbound train Tho
southbound train was ahead of time
and the crew decided it could make the
next siding. The collision and its toll
of life resulted. A somewhat similar
disregard of orders caused the Indiana
wreck The two wrecks emphasize the
necessity of electric lines, either of
their owr molten or by state direction,
adopting and enforcing just as rigid a
system of rules as obtains in the opera
ton of steam Railroads.&c.. Paul

NOVELS BY WEIGHT.

Bernard Shaw's latest contribution to
the worlds fund of wisdom is the sug-
gestion that fiction be sold, or bought
by weight This certainly is Mr.. Shaw's
profoundest utterance. 1t marks the
acme of his greatness as a sage. By all
means buy it by weight, then there can
be very little ground for complaint at
the high price of novels. Moreover, it
will be in direct line with this popular
movement to buy groceries by weight,
as a means of solving the high-cost-of-
living problem and getting ones
moneys worth.
Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will
have the desired effect of limiting the
output, of bringing the supply some-
where near the demand. The present
method of buying it by the yard seems
utterly to have failed in this achieve
nent. That means of measurement has
not even proved wholly successful with
reference to DIR. Eliot's five-foot book
self, which. of course, no one but Shaw
ever would have thought of buying by
the pound.-Omaha Bee.

MORE PAY FOR LEGISLATORS.

The voters of Kansas will decide at
the coming election whether the MEM
bers of the legislature shall receive
$500 for their services at each regular
session of the legislature and 500 for
each special session. Surely the great,
wealthy state of Kansas can afford to
pay it's law makers this measly salary
At the present time they are receiving
about $500 for each regular session,
which is not enough to pay their ex-
penses. Kansas cannot afford longer
to rest under theS disgrace of paying
her law makers less than she pays the
bod carriers on her public buildings.

KANSAS COMAENT
WOMEN DEFENDED.

Booth Harrington, the novelist and
playwright, has purposely, or unwit-
tingly lowered the standard of the
manhood he has always maintained, by
assembling to woman, a lower sense of
morality, than is mans. Mr.. Tark-
ington bases his unfair assumption
on the fact that woman will some
times go through her husbands
pockets, unknown to him. The novel
list infers, if he is correctly quoted,
that the wife who places her hand in
the pocket of her husband, does it in
a spirit of petty thievery, and never
for an instant deigns to attribute any
OF the niggardly or dishonest prin-
ciples so common to men, to the poor
down-trodden husband. AS a rule,
when woman goes through" the
pockets of the man upon whom she
is dependent for her food, her cloth
ing and in many instances, her very
life, Is slave to an unprincipled be-
ing who deserves no consideration on
any account. Some women may be
of prying, repulsive disposition and
may invade the sacred provinces of
her husband without excuse; but the
average woman has neither DISPOSE
ton nor cause to enter the private
wardrobe of her husband unknown to
him, If he is the right kind of a man
and an ample proyider. Mr.. Tarking-
toms views will not meet the approval
of the husband who respects and hon
ors his wife: neither will they meet
with the appreciation of America
womanhood, who, as a class. is too
far above him in home ethics, to pay
any serious attention to his senfle
mutterings Gazette.

HOME ECONOMICS.

It is the growing belief that all large
schools should teach home economics
including the subjects usually known
as domestic science and domestic art.
In accordance with this belief and in
response to an increasing demand on
the part of students, the University of
Kansas has reorganized and enlarged
its department of home economics and
placed it under the management of an
expert in this line of instruction. New
quarters for the classes in cooking
and the head of the department, Miss
Edna D. Day, is preparing to give prac-
teal instruction to this and kindred
subjects. The prospects are that the
enrolment for the year will be very
large. The opinion is sometimes ex-
pressed that every girl who attends the
university should not only have the
opportunity, but should be required to
study such subjects as cooking and the
management of the home.-Atchison
