A PECULIAR DEATH.
Little Child Drowned by Falling
in Bucket.

I,Ir llttie chiid u Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Keller of Alexander. Rush
county, met with death in a rath-
ar peculiar manner Friday morn
ing. Mrs. Keller had crossed the
street to a neighbOr's to inquire
about the damage done to their
house by lightning the night be-
fore, leaving. the child on the
porch and in sight. The Keller
house had been struck with light
ming at the same time and of
course she was anxious to know.
She had just crossed the street
and looked back to see the child,
and it was not in sight. She i'm
mediately returned home and
found that it had fallen into a
Swill bucket, head foremost. 1t
was but second to get it out
but the child was unconscious and
death, although it lived an hour.
1t is thought that something from
the pail had got into its lungs.
Among other things a lot of ba-
mana peels had been thrown in
the pail, and the child had no
doubt reached into the pail for
those and as the pail was one of
the empty paint bucket with the
top much smaller than the bot
tom and the child could not get
out of it as easy as from another
kind. The funeral of the child
was held Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bert King of this city were a.
mOng others who attended the flu
neral. Will Keller is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Keller of this city.

Special Washington COrrespOn-
dent of This Newspaper.
Washington, August 3.-AnOth-
er step toward carrying out cam
paign pledges was taken by the
Democratic majority of the House
of Representatives when it adopt
ed a cotton schedule which great
ly reduces the tax on all kinds
of cotton goods.
If the Republican Senate and
President Taft will permit the
bill to become a law, the public
will be assured of substantial re-
ductiOns in prices. The bill is so
framed as to be a particular boon
TO the poor. This feature of the
Democratic bill is in particularly
striking contrast 10 the Payne
Aldrich law, which levies the low
est rates on the grades of cot
tons used by the wealthy and the
highest tax ON the cOttons used
by the poor.
The Payne-Aldrich tax Of
5O.02 per cent on ready made
clothing and articles Of wearing
apparel of every description COM
posed of cotton or vegetable fibre
is reduced to 30 per cent. The
Payne-Aldrich tax of 45 per cent
on blankets and quilts, towels,
dOilies, batting, mOps, washrags
cts, is reduced to % per cent.
The Payne-Aldrich tax of 5O.02
ON sheets is cut to Is per cent.
The Payne-Aldrich duty on shirts
sweaters and all articles of cot
ton underwear of every descrip-
ton is reduced to 30 per cent
Similar reductions are made on
every item in the entire cotton
schedule.

DR.. -w1LEY's GOAT.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, storm
petrol between the food dOpers
and the Taft administration, has
been a militant government chem
lst for 2S years. Packers of en-
balmed beef are arrayed against
MIN because of his fight against
the use of benzOate of soda. Ben
zOate increases the profits of en-
balmed beef packers because it
will restore" and preserve meat
that has become putrescent. The
cost of manufacture of bologna
and sausage may be materially re
ducad by using water and cereals.
Water costs nothing and the GER
cal is cheaper than meat. The re-
suit is a cheapening of the pro-
duct and a lowering of the food
value. But when water and Ger
ealS are used the meat begins to
sour. 1t is to prevent this sour
mg process that the benzOate of
soda may be used. Chemists de-
clare that benzOate is of no earth
ly use to the manufacturer who
puts pure foods upon the market.
DR.. Wiley also fought the
bleached flour interests to the
last ditch. He exposed the in
JuriOus cOlOrings used in candies
sold to children. He StubbOrnly
opposed the use of sulphur as a
fruit presaryative. He secured
the removal of the tax on dena-
tured alchOhOl. He exposed
frauds without number in patent
medicine. 1t was Wiley who start
ed the war on the use of narcOtic'
and other pOisOns in soda fOun-
tain drinks. And he StubbOrrly
fOught the whiskey trust until
he was at last Overruled by Pres
iden. Taft.
These facts tell better than a
long antic.e could why it is up to
the food dOpers to get Wiley's
goat. Also why it is up to the
paOple to see that they don't get
il.

VALUE OF AUTOS IN KANSAS
IS $7,146,S53.
But the Horses Number 1,063,998
and Have Not Been Crowded
Out.

The figures of the tax commits
sion show that the automobile has
been an outlet for a great deal
of money in Kansas. They show
that the total valuation of all
the automobiles owned in the
state is $7,146,S53-greater than
the total value of all wagons and.
buggies and all other vehicles.
However, it does not appear to be
putting the horse out of business.
On the first of March there were
1.069,998 horses in Kansas and
their total value was $90.273,447.
In the state at that time were
2.422.14S head of cattle, valued at
4,0l0.267, and 22S.S69 mules
valued at $23,7S2,972. The table

A LIVING WAGE.

The superintendent of labor of
the state Of Massachusetts has re-
Gently issued a report giving the
wages received by the operatives
m the various factories in that
state. While a few receive more
than $500 a year, the operatives
Of many of the larger industries
receive much less than that a.
mount, or from $40 to $12 a week
to support an average family Of
five. About one-third of this goes
for rent, and the clothing, hiel,
and other necessities of life muE
be supplied from the rest. The
superintendent claims that men
can live comfortably and respect
ably On-this amount, if they viii,
and reads them a lesson on ex-
travagance.
Many farmer in the corn
belt has moved to town, where
lands are very much cheaper than
the amount quoted by the Massa-
chusetts official, and has found i
necessary to. practice pretty ser :
we're economy to live respectfully
on this sum, large as it may have
seemed to him when he lived ON
the farm.
We are told repeatedly that the
reason why high tariffs are nee
essary is to enable the labOring
man to live on the American scale
of living. The result, according
to this official report, or at
least according to the extracts
from it which we see quoted in.
the daily papers, is a wage OF
$500 a year and often less, foe
the support of a family Of' five.
1t is very evident that whatever
advantages this high protection
gives do not accrue to the Opera
tiveS. How CAN'T? For labor, II
healthy, has free entrance ito
every port, and the competition
lies with the free labor Of Europe
No matter what the tariff may
be, the manufacturer is going to
hire men just as cheap as he pos
sis. can. He does not feel that
it is any concern of his how they
live. Hence the deplOrable cOndi-
tiOns in grea! manufacturing dis

pay, where the family can get. the
main portion Of their living from
the garden, the poultry yard and

town are altogether different, as
every retired farmer knows from
his own experience, and that Diff.

SPECIAL SESSION TALK IN
KANSAS.
Two Reasons Advanced Why
There Should Be Extra
Meeting.

Topeka, Aug. Special ses-
SION talk is beginning to loom up
q. bit around the StatehOuse. Two
'tAings contribute to it. Recently
the main building Of the state
home for the feeble minded at
Winfield burned to the ground
anu today the state board OF con
&ol received a letter from |. w.
Clark, superintendent of the in
StitutiOn, saying that in his Opin-
ION it is impossible to properly
care for the inmates with the
present buildings until the next
session of the legislature makes
appropriations for the rebuild
Ing of the burned structure. The
other possible cause for a special
session is some law empowering
Western Kansas counties in which
the hot weather damaged the
wheat to loan money to farmers
whose crops were. badly hit to
bay seed wheat for their fall SOW
ing.
Charles D. Shukers, a member
Of the state bOard'Of control, said
today that as soon as the entire
board is in Topeka that the Win
Eeld situation will be discussed.
<We will see what we can do
10 handle the situation properly
until the next regular session of
the legislature" said. Mr.. Shukers
eve got a letter from Superin-
tendent Clark today giving his
opinion that the present buildings
will be inadequate to properly
care for the inmates until the
next regular session. Mr.. Elliott,
u member Of the board, and Mr..
. Gibbs, secretary of the board,
were both at Winfield at the time
Of the fire. When they are here
and the entire board is in session,
We will see what can be done to
handle the matter. | don't know
what we can do. But we shall
first see if we can handle the mat
ter ourselves in some way to tide
Us over"
A meeting will be held Thurs
day at Colby of the legislative
Representatives of a number Of
Western Kansas counties in which
the wheat crops were badly hit
g by the hot weather this summer.
Sheridan county recently wanted
10 advance to some of its farm
srs about $4,000 for seed wheat,
the farmers to repay it upon the
maturing of the crops. 1t was
found that there is no state law
giving a county such authority
and that only a legislative action
can grant that power. 1t is I'M
derStOOd that there will be spe-
eial session talk at Colby.
AT the present time Governor
Stubb's office says that he has
received only six complaints and
requests from Western Kansas
for a special session on the seed
wheat SituatiOn.-K. C. Journal.
