KAUFMAN GOES HOME.
CooIeysox Pitcher Intimates He May
Play Again il Traded.

Richard (Bolivar) Kaufman. the
Cooleysox pitcher, departed this art
ernoon over the Union Pacific for Kan
sas city and his home at Marshfield,
Mo. His difference with Cooley was
fatal and each says he will have noth-
ing further to do with the other.
I'm going back to the farm at
Marshfield, where I know can make
good, he said with a smile. I may
nitch again if Cooley trades or sells
me-and / suppose he will sooner or
later. but If I do somebody has got to
nav. Perhaps 1 won't play again at
ali. If do, / hope to get into an
other league.
"This league is hard for pitcher
for MANY reasons, the principal one
being the Victor ball. They come with
thick and thin covers, odd weights and
various sizes. Suppose I'm out there
with good control pitching one of the
thin covered smaller ones with two on
bases and the batter pops foul over
the fence. Then they throw out a
big, thick covered ball. There goes
my control.
Another thing is change of altitude.
A pitcher works out there in that Den
yer altitude one day and the next time
is in the little lot over at Sioux City.
More than that, there are some mighty
good hitters in every club, no matter
where a pitcher goes in and when con-
ditions are SO changed he is at a dis
advantage
This is not the first kick on the Vic
tor ball by the western pitchers.
O'TooIe first made a hol1er and Kauf-
man says to ask any pitcher in the
circuit. He says the talk of his mar
rage is a joke and offers to bet 800
it won't take place for a year.

CALLS CROPS GOOD.
Former Comptroller Hepburn Says
There Is No Can for Pessimlsm.

New York, July ga. Barton Hep
burn, former comptroller of the cur
rency. who is just back in New York
from an extended western trip, ex-
pressed the belief on his arrival here
that the reports which have been cir
culated in Wall street of crop damage
and business -stagnation in the west are
grossly exaggerated He found the
general business situation good, as
sorting that the only thing which
marred his optimism was the evidence
everywhere presented of wild extrava-
gance in domestic economy. Mr.. Hep
burn summed up the situation as he
sees it in this wise:
However serious the crop losses
may be in certain isolated localities,
the general statement remains true
that the crops Of the country as a
whole promise at the present time to
exceed in value any previous crops
produced. There is no occasion for
pessimism.
THAT the business of the country as
a whole is in good condition and prof
liable is evidenced by the large volume
of business I am very optimistic as
to general business conditions. The
one thing that is radically wrong is
the wild extravaganza in domestic
economy which unquestionably exists
throughout the country. This. per-
haps, is most conspicuously evidenced
by the craze for automobiles, which
are expensive to buy and still more
expensive to maintain. AS nation,
we have been spending for the last
two years more than we earned. But
there is not a suggestion OF crisis In
the situation and there is no reason
why legitimate commercial business
should be in the least disturbed.

Attorneys for the Standard Oil and
the state of Kansas resumed the tax

custer suit against the oil octopus.
= his announcement is made from time
to time in order that the public may
know that this case is still on the
calendar and IN it's own good time will
be submitted to the courts. On days
when news is the dullest, when the SUI
preme court is on a vacation, when the
politicians are all out of town, when
the state officials viii not even talk to

furnishes food for reflection and news
to save a newspaperman's job. May
it never die, but continue always as an
ark. of the covenant. The dispositions
taken in this case would, If piled one
upon the other, make a wall higher

Yes. they are taking dispositions in

be well to state here that they are TAX
ing these dispositions in the supreme

FAIRS TO GET RATES.
Western Passenger Association Pro-
vides Fare and Half Schedule.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 28.--The rail-
roads belonging to the Western Pas
senger association have agreed to make
a round trip rate of one fare and a
half for all state fairs held in their
territory. The matter of these rates
come I'D on a protest of Des Moines
business men through the agency of
the Commercial club of that city. be-
cause a special rate had been refused
for the Iowa state fair, although it
had been granted to other neizhborinz
states. The Iowans said they only
wanted not to be Disseminated against.
At the same time the Western Pas
senger association has refused to grant
the request of the Chicago Association
Of Commerce for special rate to the
market week in that city The rail-
roads are not very kindly disposed to-
wards the Chicago association, which
1T is said, Is bearing the brunt of the
fight for the shippers against the rail-
roads in the matter of freight rates.
Another action of far reaching i'm
portance taken by the passenger asso-
citation, was the adoption of a resolu-
ton disseminating the. granting of
stop-over privileges on limited tickets
wherever such action operates to ex-
tend the time limit of the ticket Roads
of the Southwestern Passenger associ-
alton and the Central Passenger asso-
citation already had taken similar ae-
ton. The new rules go into effect Oc-
tober /. The question has been I'M
der consideration for nearly a year
The action will have no effect on sum-
mer tourist travel.
The Topeka management has not
been notified of the reduction and H.
L. Cook, secretary of the. State Fair
association, is not sure that it applies
to Kansas Z. An effort is being made to
secure reduced rates.. however.

her mother--a most sensible woman
would send her to a girls college tc
get over it.
On the contrary, Mrs. M. is going tc
send her to a co-educational college
and in defiance of the neighborhood
am ready to cheer for Mrs. M
Is it the girl in the candyshop who
looks at sweets from morning till
night and has free license to eat al
she wants, or the girl to whom candy
is holiday Indulgence who is the most
apt to get sick on sweets.
If you want girl to have common
sense ideas on the subject of boys, Is
it better to shut her away from them
in a boyless place where she will
dream and idealize and think about
them most of the time. or to let her
live in daily companionship with them
where she may find out that they are
just ordinary human beings like her.
self?
you will notice that the children Of
co-educational schools walk home to-
gether and part quite simply at their
homes with no thought of 'beaux' and
that sort of nonsense. 1t is the little
girl unaccustomed to meeting and
studying freely with little boys who
meets them on the street corners after
school, says well known lecturer on
education.
And it is the same way in college.
The college woman unaccustomed to
meeting and studying freely with men
Is probably too we'll bred to meet them
on the street corners after class, but the
effect on her Is to make her take an
extravagant and unnatural interest in
anything masculine quite different
from the simple natural attitude OF
her co-educated sisters.
Am I not prejudiced?
Perhaps so.
But let me give you the opinion of
a woman who. having been educated
at a co-educational college and then
been president of one of the greatest
girls colleges in the country, ought to
know both sides of the question.
The woman is Alice Freeman Palm
er, the great president of Wellesley
college. OF her feelings on the sub
ject of co-education her husband
writes in his book about her:
THE natural association of girls
with boys in interests of a nobler sort.
she believed. tends to broaden their
vision, TO solidify their minds and to
remove much that is hectic and I'M
wholesome from the awakening in
stincts of sex. She did not think it
made girls boyish or boys girlish, but
merely that it brought good sense and
a pleasant companionship to take the
place of giddiness and sentimenta1ity.
She used to say that co-educationaI
marriages seldom appear in the di-
vorce courts"

TO LOWER MEAT PRICES.
United Butchers Plan Crusade Against

Chicago, July 2s.-Lower prices of
meats will be brought about if the
rlans of the United Butchers OF Amer

The retailers declare that the packer
is to blame for the high prices of meat,
and now plan to prove it by eliminat-
irg that individual.

en- attempt will be made at the con-

feel certain that the project will go
through" he said. This move will
enable the retail butcher to operate in

cattle and to market the byproducts.
With the great profit that would ae-
crue from the byproducts, we would be
eble to retail meat to the consumer

prices now asked, and still make a
healthy profit.

admitted to probate. Mrs. Rawn was
appointed executrix. According to the
petition there was no real estate, all of
the holdings being listed Gs personal
property The total amount given in

STUBS HITS BACK.
Declares Help of Professional PoIiti-
clans Is Not Wanted.

Kansas City, Kan, July 28.-Governcr
Stuons made it plain to a large audi
ence, who stood last night for two
hours in Kansas City, Kan, that if the
support of the politicians representing
the special interests is necessary for
his reelection he doesn't want the job.
The governor had been told that
Wyandotte county was a WagstaR
stronghold, and divesting himself of his
coat, he began at once to huri defiance
at the politicians and standpatters.
Yes, they're all against me, every
corporation politician from the big fell
lows, who get $4,000 a year, down to
the little pee-wee fellows whose faith
ful labors are rewarded with passes,
he said. "All are lined up to tell you
what a bad governor I've been and how
taxes have been raised and everything
neglected. They remind me of calf
bawling for milk after 1t has been
weaned."
Then the governor took Wagstaff,
Senator Curtis and Anthony on for a
severe grilling for assertions made in
their speeches in Topeka Tuesday
night. First he held Wagstaff up to
ridicule for his assertion that the Kan
saS penitentiary is not conducted as
prison for punishment, but as pleas
ure resort for the men confined there,
and that 1t is not clearing money. In
this connection the governor said that
if reelected he intended to do Some-
thing to aid the wives and children OF
the men confined there.
IF 1 write another message to the
legislature of Kansas I am going to
ask that the money earned by those
men up in the penitentiary at Lansing
be turned over to the wives and chill
dren they have out over the state" he
continued 1.-The great commonwealth
of Kansas doesn't need that money, but
the wife of the convict, who is trying
to raise a family of children by toiling
all day at the washtub, does and she
ought to have it. Mr.. Wagstan says
that the prisoners are too well cared
for and the penitentiary is not clearing
money for the state. The prisoners are
going to be cared for and the money Is
going to be used to make better men
and women out of their sons ana
daughters That is the way to- stop
crime.
'Mr. Wagstaffs statement concern
ing the inheritance tax law is deceitful
and misleading if not positively raise.
He gives the Impression that people
with a small amount of property can
be taxed under this law My under
Standing of the law is that no inherit
ance amounting to less than $4,000 net
pays any tax whatever and tnat 90.
600 direct inheritance only pays $50 IL
ia only natural that the men whom
Mr.. Wagstaff represents in this CAM
naign would oppose this law. Only last
week Mr.. Harriman's estate paid 10 tne
state of New York $675,0O0 inheritance
tax"
