CHAMP CLARK DAY.

One of the principal events at the
Kansas Semi Centennial at Hutchin-
son this and next week will be the ad
dress of the Hon. Champ Clark,
speaker OF the National House of Rep
resentatives, which will be at O.
clock, September oath, Sunday, at the
fair grounds. In elevating Mr.. Clark
to the important position of Speaker
of the National House, he occupies
the second place in importance in the
nation. AS a result of the work Of
the Democrats during the special ses-
sion of congress, the party stands ex-
ira well, and no stronger figure il
lumines the political horizon at this
time than does Mt. Clark. The Hutch
inson people are to be thanked for
bringing him out. and the people of
Kansas are to be congratulated on
the opportunity given them to hear
him.

THREE ACHIEVEMENTS.

These three achievements of the
Attorney General of the United Staes
remain the most prominent in the
public mind:
1. The exOneratiOn of BallingeT
and the condemnation of CLAWS on a
most perfunctory examination of the
record, including the falsifEng of the
date of the opinion.
2. The denmciatiOn in a speech
of the progressives after the tariff
session for an attitude which has pro
ed to be the general attitude of he
people. 49, re
8. The recommendation of the dis
missal of Doctor Wiley, a most eff,
cient public servant, on a charge
which was evidently absurdly trivia.
But in spite of it all, President
Taft continues to keep him in the
cabinet.

GOVERNORS TO PROTEST.

At the third meeting Of the House
of Governors held at Spring Lake,
N. j., hast week, it was unanimously
decided to protest against the de-
cision of Judge Sanborn, rendered at
St. Paul some time ago, in which
he knocked out the Nebraska two
cent fare law. The great objection
to the decision was that it in
terfered with States Rights which
the governors are guarding as jealous
ly as did the governors of the south
em states i'm the days preceding the
civil war. A protest is to- be made
to the Supreme Count of the United
States against confirming this deci-
sion. A committee composed of Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, Governor Had
ley of Missouri, and Governor Aldricl
of Nebraska were authorized to make
the protest.

IN PLAIN WORDS, SIR.

The full report of Senator La Fol
lette's speech on the Wooden Bill,
which has just been printed in the
Congressional Record, goes far to
justify the attacks of stand
patters ON the Wisconsin senator as
a dangerous man. Mr.. La Toilette
cenSured Senator Smoot Of Utah for
voting on the wool schedule while
owning stock in a wooden mill. He
added: ... -
1T is an outrage against common
decency that any member Of the
United States Senate should vote
to represent his own interests, person
al or pecmiary. We are here in a
trust capacity, as sacred a trust as
was ever committed to men. We are
in no position, with a dollar of inter
est of our own in any question pend
ing here, to pass upon that question.
Mr.. President, it would instantly dis
qualify any trustee in any court in
equity in the country, and it ought
to; but the official conscience has be
come SO dulled that senators, the hok
ers of stock in United States banks,
have sat here and voted to defeat leg
iSlation requiring such banks to pay
interest on government deposits; sen.
atorS who are the holders of stock in
mines, in Smelter, in lumber, in rub
Der and in all the great manufactur-
ing concerns Of every character, will
sit here day after day and vote
against public interest and betray
their public trust. It is time, MI
President that public protest should b.
made and 1 make it, here and now.

Gently filed a bill of particulars as
to why President Taft should not be
renominated as the candidate of the
Republican party at the Forthcoming
national convention. The statement
Of the Iowa senator follows repeated
editorial requests by leading newspa-
pens Of the country to be specific in
his reasons for withdrawing his sup
port from the administration.
The answer is prefaced with this
statement:
It is to be understood that my OPP
position to the denomination Of Taft
is based solely upon his attitude to-
ward public questions and my conyic-
ton that the convention should
nominate a candidate for President
who viii be strongest in the election.
I have no other than the most

PRODUCERS AND MIDDLEMEN.

Farmers in Pennsylvania, represent.
ing a grange membership Of $4,000,
have addressed themselves to 1.-The
rather sturdy problem of selling their
products directly to the consumer,
thus avoiding the middle man. who
they think, is getting a larger share
of the profits of their labor and the
high cost of living than they are
themselves. They recently sent a
delegation to New York to study
market conditions, consult with prom.
inent men, and report their finding,
says the Omaha Bee. They called on
Mayor Gayuor, who huded their en-
terprise, sanctioned their theory and
agreed that they were yielding too
much to the middle man.
No one will contend that the pro
ducer is getting all the increase of
the prices the man who consumes
pays. The consumer has been steadi-
ly paying more for what he ate, but
the farmer declares-and has some
evidence to show for it-that the SUIT
plus profits have not gone to him,
though he has, in most cases, got
along very well. It is doubtless
agreed then, that the so-called mid
die men are cutting in on the pro.
ceeds very heavily and holding up
the price of living. So the problem
resolves into the question whether
there are not too many middle men.
But where to do the eliminating is
the problem. 1t is useless to talk OF
doing away entirely with the middle
man, the man who buys from the
farmer and sells to the consumer

bills gave the President the only
chance he will ever have to sign acts
Of Congress reducing the iniquitous
duties of the Psyue-Aldrich Law, but
preserving the system Of protection.
