ton is the present representative from
Jackson county.
The Atchison papers did not take
kindly to the speech made in that town
this week by Tom McNeal insurgent
candidate for congress. They claim
that of the four persons who formed
the escort for Mr.. McNeal to the plat
form of the hall in which he spoke,
three of them were Democrats. Ex-
Governor Bailey is quoted as declaring
that the McNeal effort was as fine a
Democratic speech as he ever heard
in his life. Governor Bailey declared
that McNeal did not have one kind
word for his country and he was need
lessly scared over the Philippine ques-
ton.
McNeal never claimed to be strong
in Atchison. but he does claim that
the vote of the rest of the county will
about balance that of the town be-
tween himself and Anthony.
Congressman McKin1ay spoke at
Emporia last night and report of
the meeting declares that the town
turned out we'll to hear Congressman
McKinlay of California stand up for
Taft's tariff. The meeting was held in
Grated with flags and a picture of
President Taft. McKinlay devoted
considerable time to discussing condi-
tions in Japan and China, and show
in keeping Oriental goods out of this
country by means of protective tar
iff. He also showed how it was that
American manufacturers occasionally
sold goods in foreign countries cheaper
than they did at home. ED Martin
dale. editor of the Emporia Journal,
presided.
Mr.. McKinlay reviewed the whole
tariff situation and showed how neces-
sary 1t was to maintain the protective
system in order to give employment to
American labor and furnish a market
for the products of American farms.
He said that Congressman Miller
had stood Loyalty by President Taft in
all of his policies and could be relied
upon to help him carry out his pro-
gram. While he was not taking sides
in the congressional controversy, he
said the president was anxious that
Kansas send Republicans to congress
who would stand for Republican poll
cies to the last.
"And you must understand" said he,
that if you vote to send a low tariff
man to congress. you are sending a
Democrat and not a Republican"
Mr.. McKinlay goes to Fort Scott to-
morrow, where he winds up his Kan
sas campaign for Taft and the tariff

Karma on the Job.

Put in everyday English, Karma
is the law that whatever you have
coming to you is bound to catch up
with you sooner or later and you
can't sidestep it. 1t may be good
or it may be bad, or it may be a lit
tie of both, but it will find you, no
matter how many times you have
moved away without leaving your
new address. And, whatever it is, it
will be exactly what your own ac-
tons have made you deserve-not
an ounce more or an ounce less or
a fraction thereof. Some people
call this law Nemesis. Some call it
by other names. Some don't call it
at all, but they don't need to. 1t
comes without calling. Some peo-
pie say they don't believe in it, and
some scott at it. But the law goes
right on, minding its own business
and saying very little.-Nautilus.

What is probably the most CD
rious bread in the world is describ-
ed By DR.. Lodian in tie Scientific
American.
"of all the bareback breads of
the universe" he writes, Il have
found BY actual experience the
small ringed bread of Siberia the
most substantial. When the Rus
sian engineering parties were con-
structing the Siberian railroad this
white ringed bread with the coarse
rye bread) was their main staff of
| life.
at is made without salt or
yeast and is first steamed, then
lightly baked to expel the moisture.
Some curious uses were made of
these breads by the engineers.
When soaked in hot pure tallow for
a few moments, till they sank, they
we're used in soups or soaked in and
eaten with tea during the severe
winter months. This talIow bread
was considered the most heat pro-
ducing article in the dietary. It
should be utilized by arctic explor-
ers.
"Another curious use to which it
is put is as an extempore candle or
coffeepot boiler. a nail is used to
make about eight holes in the tai
low ring bread. Wax vestas are
placed in these and ignited. twill
burn slowly for about an hour,
emitting heat sufficient to warm
and light a small tent and boil the
tea or coffee water. There is a
rather strong odor of toasting
bread, but that is tolerated in pref
erence to smoke. While soiourn-
ing with the engineers in Siberia l
have also seen them use the larger
sizes of ring bread for makeshift
quoits for Sunday afternoon sport
in their tents, and the bread would
stand the knocking about pretty
well and would eventually appear in
the soup at the evening meal.
Small Siberian storekeepers also
use the ringed bread as an abacus,
or primitive counting apparatus,
for calculating small sums in ru-
bles and copecks and simple figur-
ing. Three strings are suspended
above the counter. Ten breads are
strung on each. The top line rep
resents the rubles, their money
transactions rarely going above ten,
and the two lower strings stand for
the copecks. OF course the strings
of bread can be increased to mount
into thousands and up if desired"
We are accustomed to regard
bread as the staff of life, but bread
as an illuminant, a heating APP
paratus, a sporting implement and
a calculating machine is quite a
new idea.
