CUMMINS GOES HOME.
Hot Weather Causes progressive
Senator to Cancel Kansas Dates.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 27.-United
States Senator Albert B. Cummins,
who arrived. here last night, said he
would fill no more dates in Kansas.
The heat and the strenuous work of
the campaign have sapped the sena-
tors energy.
The senator later left for his home
in DeS MoineS.
1.-The hot weather has brought me to
the limit of my strength he said
The senator's heart is bothering him
a good deal.
Senator Cummins was optimistic
over the progressive situation in Kan
sas and elsewhere in the country. He
predicted the progressive" Republi-
cans would be in control of the Re-
publican national convention of 1912,
and declared the ''progressives" had an
even chance to control congress be-
fore them.
1.-The talk of a new party is a fake
the senator said. eff there is a new
party it will be formed by the stand
patters. If any boiling is done it will
be done with them. For the progress
sive Republican movement is sweeping
over the country and being right will
win. We are fighting now in Vermont,
in New Hampshire, in Massachusetts.
We have not got start yet in Penn
sylvania but there Is abundant ma
terial there. Ohio, If a fair expression
could be obtained, would be over
whelmingly progressive. Illinois is in
a state of chaos, but out of it I think
will come progressive organization.
'In the senate Aldrich and Hale are
coing out, and there won't be anybody
in the senate on that side to take up
the reins of authority that Aldrich will
Law down. There is bound, therefore,
TO be disintegration of that force.
Ready to take it up in the senate is
a militant aggressive organization of
insurgent senators. Right now we
have fourteen senators fairly well
identified with US in the senate.
at do not object to being called an
insurgent in Washington, but out here
I am a progressive. You can not in
surge against a minority and out here
in the middle west we are the ma
iority The wholesd difference is in the
attitude toward modern problems of
the control of wealth and its combina-
lions of various kinds. The issue is
not often stated quite broadly enough.
1t does not relate to the tariff or to
the railroad alone, but to the whole
attitude of congress toward these
regulative measures.
at have gained the distinct impress
sion that in Kansas the sentiment is
overwhelmingly progressive. . I hope
all the progressive candidates will win
and believe they will.
1.-THE extraordinary profits of mo-
nopolies are mainly in the east. 1t is
unnatural that Kansas or any western
state should want to- perpetuate that
condition"

members, was one of those who did
not vote on either side.
mat he had claimed credit for the
law claiming interest from banks on
state FUNDS when that law went into
erect four years before his election.
That he had claimed credit for a
refund of money appropriated for the
state penitentiary and the state re-
formatory when the state auditors re-
port showed that instead of a surplus,
the FUNDS set aside for the reform
atory mad been exhausted in the month
OF April, while those of the peniten-
tiary had been exhausted in the
month of May.
That Governor Stubs had claimed
the necessity of making up a deficit
from the Hoch administration, when
there had really been a surplus.
That Governor Stubs is employing
Democrat as his private secretary.
That in the interests of economy it
is up to him to reduce the force at
the state penitentiary to a business
basis and to lop off the membership of
the numerous state boards of control.
And he concluded with a whack at
Governor Stubs Republicanism with
the aphorism:
mo man has a right to ask for an
office at the hands of a party when he
does not stand for or advocate the
principles of that party"

COST OF Big CITIES.
More Is Expended on Schools Than on
Any Other Department..

Washington, July 27-According to
figures prepared by the census bureau
the larger cities of the country paw
more for schools and for police and fir.
protection and related service than on
all other accounts, and of these two
items the payment on account of
schools is much the largest, the per
capita expenses for schools being 81. 30
as compared with 81 5 for police and
$1.72 for fire protection.
The figures are given out as a part of
the bureaus report covering the fnan-
cial operations for cities during the
year 1908. The report covers all cities
of more than 10000 population, of
which there are 1853. The aggregate
cost of operating these cities was 1884,
997,312. The report indicates a general
increase in the cost of maintaining city
governments. In 1902, the average was
1913 per capita. BY 1908 it had ad-
vanced to 1851 OF the total amount
more than one-fourth was paid by New
York, Philadelphia expenses were
only about one-fourth as much as
those of New York.
But large as were the figures for
New York, the people of Boston paid
more in proportion to population. The
New England metropolis heads the list
with an expense cost of $27.58 for each
person. OF the large cities New York
comes next with cost of $24.71, white
Washington with a cost of $2463.
makes close third.
OF the first class cities New Orleans
paid less for city government than any
other, the cost being only $1276 per
capita Baltimore, with an expendit-
ure of 1884, was a close second.
OF the cities of the second class,
Denver stood at the head and 81
Joseph, Mo-, at the foot of the list. the
figures for the Missouri city being only
1865 per person and those of Denver
s24.44.
Salt Lake City paid most per capita
for schools $685. but Newton, Mass
with IS, was close second. In this re-
spect Montgomery, Ala, made the
lowest expenditure. S1.63 per capita.
