CA1nERHEAD All RIGHT.

J. e. House, a writer on the To-
peka Capital, has the following to
say of our congressman:
Congressman, Calderhead is pass
ing through his second prairie fire.
They were after Calderhead about az
hard in 1896 when he was standing
up for the gold standard, as they are
after him now. Calderhead came put
a bit scorched, but safe and sound
and time has abundantly justified
the position he took in that campaign.
The fact is, no matter whether one
agrees with Congressman Calderhead
in his present attitude on the tariff
and other vital issues, or not, he
has got to admire the man. Calder
head not only has courage, but he
does all his own thinking. He may
be old fashioned politically, but he
never lodged an issue in his life and
his knowledge regarding the location
of the gallery is confined to hearsay.
Due to the fact that he lives IN q
country district and Is not over free
in conversation. calderhead. has new
er had the advantage Of much press
agenting. The newspapers probably
have printed less about Calderhead
than any other Kansas statesman.
But he has always been the big man
on the delegation and probably CUTS
more real ice in Washington than
any other Kansas representative, This
.is not written for the purpose @
boosting Congressman Calderhead
for have no personal interest n the
Fifth district contest and don't care
whoop who is nominated, hut Il
seems to me that after sixteen years
in congress the Goldman" should
have due credit for the homely yirz
tues that are his. s.cE

FREE TRADE WAGES.

An investigation of wages and cost
of living among the laboring popu-
lation Of London, which has Just
been conducted by an agent Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
makes 1t plain that the average wage
Garner Of London finds It an extreme
ly difficult matter to adjust his ex-
penses to income,
As for the cost Of living, list Of
prices asked for various articles OF
food in three districts visited by the
departments special agent discloses
the fact that for many Of the staple
articles of diet the Londoner Is pay7
ing but little less than or fully as
much as the American. For bread
the Londoner pays three cents q
pound; dairy butter, "a to 80 cents
coffee, 1e to SO cents; bacon, 10 to
"a cents; fresh beef, 10 to 20 cents;
white sugar, cents; tea, 20 to SO
cents; oatmeal, 4 to 6 cents; fresh
cod, s to 10 cents, and milk, 8 cents
a quart. Those prices it should be
remembered are not for the highest
quality Of each article, but presum-
ably for the average quality consum-
od nv the ordinary wage Garner.
To the foregoing, of course must
be added the cost Of rental, which
amounts to s1.94 to s2.4S a week
for three room flats in the poorer
districts. From this It would appear
that the cost Of food and rent alone
would vary from $3.50 to $500 a
week as a minimum. Consequently
II to this be added the minimum cost
Of clothes and heating and lighting,
Il will be seen, that the London wage
Gamers, family can do no more than
barely subslst upon a total e1perdi-
ture Of 81, 8 week.

carpenters 81 cents. painters IS cents.
For indoor work, boilermakes receive
$l0.95 a week, and riveters $6.S2.
Bookbinders and rulers are paid

finishers in the shoe trade $7.2SF
Drivers and conductors Of motor
omnibuses receive from $1.70 to $1.o4

mon laborer receives from 10 to IA
cents an hour.
What chance has the laboring pop
ulation of that country>to make pro-
vision on its own account for sickness
and old age? Fortunately, the wage
Garner of the United States knows
little need of restricting household
expenses to an amount barely suffi-
cient to keep body and soul together.
The $4,000 100000 of deposits in
our savings banks attest that fact.
Notwithstanding the steady advance
in the cost of living, the American
wage Garner still finds himself in a
position to buy immeasurably more
than the bare necessities of life.

According to oliver Wendell
Holmes, who was an authority on
other things besides literature and
medicine
Pretty faces framed i'm pretty
bonnets are meant to be seen. All
males have the right Of at least two
distinct looks at every c0mely fe-
male countenance without infraction
Of the rules Of courtesy or the senti-
ment of respect"
And If two looks are permissible
in Puritanic Boston are not a few
more allowed for good measure in
New York and its environs? For
what purpose are Chanticler hats

masculine glance strays to the face
Of the wearer what is the offense?
What the eye takes is not stealing

pretty woman, who is not the object
Of visual attention by the men about
her has Just reason of complaint
at the omission. Speaking generally
women have a perfectly effective

Just sit around and wait for a Job.
Here's little advice about the mat

you're waiting for that salaried posi-
ton take one OF the Jobs right In
front OF you. one Of those plain work.
day Jobs, where you have to use your
hands and be earning something
while waiting for the position to
come around and grab you. The
main thing is that YOU don't want to
become a loafer. You ought to real
lie that the old dad has had about all
he could do to support you and your
yagaries. Show him there Is somie-
thing to You after all. Maybe the
old dad and mother have been count
ing for years on taking vacation and
going back to visit the folks when
you got big enough to take care Of
yourself ami not consume their earn
ings. And 1t isn't hard to get a
Job. And by the way, the job is
what pays best. There are mighty
few men in this section who get a
salary better than 500 month and
those few have spent several years
of hard work, and lot of overtime
to get where they are. Their positions
have been well earned. The brick
layer, or stone mason, or carpenter
only works eight hours a day and he
draws better wages than the man
does who has a position. His time Is
his own except for those eight hours.
He wears old clothes but he doesn't
have to. He's better fixed than the
man with position to make good
money. So get out and get hold Of
something that will make you money.
Show what is in you. There is more
work than there are men to do 1t and
wages will be high. Be worker ami
not loafer. Society despises the
loafer. But not more than the loafer
in time comes to despise himself. So
get out Of the rut and go to work.

DOING HIS DUTY.

Clay Center Republican: Judge
Rees and his friends are making an
active campaign against Congressman
Calderhead, who Is detained at Wash
ington, performing his duties as the
representative Of this district. What
will be the outcome is frequently
asked by persons that are interested
in the situation.
II faithful service for his district,
strict attention to every detail OF
necessary legislation, painstaklng
care for every mans interests
whether rich or poor within the limit
Of his territory, and an adherence to
the we'll founded principles Of Repub-
Iicanism, count for anything the out
come ought not to be uncertain ana
William A. Calderhead will be re-
turned by a good rousing majority.

phantasIes, which seems to be the
course taken by Judge Rees, the peo-
lple Of the Fifth district who are
reaping the benefits Of their repre-
sentative's adherence to principle
Mr. Calderhead's majority ought to
be larger than it ever was before.
Mr.. Calderhead may have made
some mistakes in matters OF minor
consequence, in the appointment Of
postmasters, and other matters OF
patronage, but he has made no mis-
takes on the great questions OF poll
tical economy that are of more inn
portance to the people Of his district.

little piques that may have arisen

general prosperity that Is no" peihe

he gets the necessary vote that Will
not only insure his return to con-
gress but place the ban of disapprov-

sTTRRs AS A sHYLOOK,

Considerable criticism o. Fov'
Hoch is being offered by the adher-
ents Of Gov. stubbs over the POSI-
tion he ID taking in regard to Tom
Wagstaffs candidacy for the guber-
Material nomination says the Clay
Center Republican.
There is no one in the world hac
more reason to dislike Gov. Stubs
than EX-GOVERNOR Hoch. There is
NO man in Kansas probably that
knows the man Stubs better than
he and 1t is from that fact that Ex-
Governor Hoch is probably taking
the stand he Is.
When Gov. Hoch was elected Mr.
Stubs expected to be the power be-
hind the throne. He expected to
boss and rule and bull-doze and die
tate the entire policy Of Gov. Hoch's
administration. No man is more
thoroughly aware Of the arrogant
aomineering character of the red
headed boss from Lawrence and no
man has reason to regard these
traits with more dissatisfaction than
Gov. Hoch. From his inception into
office until the break came which
severed their friendly relations Mr.
Stubs endeavored to make life q
burden Cor the governor and de-
manded with shylock ferocity his
pound Of flesh in the game of pat
-ronage and pursuit Of administra-
tive policies.
No self-respectlng executive, es-
pecially a man OF the ability ana
Independent temperament Of Gov
Hoch would have submitted to such
tyranleal conditions. no matter what
might have been their political re-
lations before and that is why ths
gentle Roscoe found himself out In
the cold. From that time he was
the invetarste enemy Of the Hoch
administration and 1t was through
his traitorous designs and those Of
his followers that Gov. Hoch's plu-
rality was cut down in his second
election to the small amount 1t was
Etubbs could not rule Hoch and
therefore sought to ruin him and
that is why he and his followers
scott at Hoch today.
1t is no wonder, then, that retail
iation alone would be a justifiable
cause for Hoch to espouse the cause
OF another but the further fact that
the Ex-Governor is an honest man,
a good Republican and understands
most clearly the character Of Stubs
and knows his false and hypocritical
pretensions is probably the greatest
factor in making him opposed to
Stubs and in favor OF a real Re-
publican, square and straightfor-
ward man, Tom Wagstaff.
