Last week George Medley of
Hutchinson announced his candi-
dacy for congress from the big
Seventh District. 1t was made in
response to a powerful endorse
ment from practically every coun-
ty in the district from which he
asks for the nomination. His
campaign last fall won for him the
admiration of the Madison contin-
gent, as well as the support of the
members of his own party. In
Seward county a number of Dem
ocrats have expressed the idea
that since Neeley made such o
good fight against odds last year,
he should be given the opportun-
ity this year. This seems to be
the sentiment over the entire dis.
trict. George Neeley has a wider
circle of acquaintance this year
than he did in his first campaign,
he has the experience of a hard
campaign behind him and has
made a number of strong personal
friends over the district. The
chances for the election of George
Neeley are good at this time, and
we believe will grow better as the
campaign advances.
He will be opposed by a repub-
licaD who has won the nomina-
ton after a bitter fight, which
cannot but leavea string of sore
spots over the district. In the
ranks of the democrats we have no
division over progressive princi-
Piles. Mr.. Neeley is a progressive
Democrat, a young man, and the
bestowal of the Democrat nomina-
ton will be fitting reward to a
man who stepped into a breach
year ago, that few men would
care to fill.

University to-Eielp Find Rail.
way Values

University O. Kansas, Oct. 81
The students, faculty and plant Of
the University engineering school
will be utilized by the state public
utilities commission in fixing the
physical valuation of Kansas rail-
roads. The regents made the Of
fer at their last meeting and Gov.
Stubbs accepted for the commits
sion by long distance phone.
The engineering faculty is now
making plans to carry out this
work for the state. The work
will be subdivided into four main
groups. One will be the check
ing up of mileage of roadway,
another the invoicing of rolling
stock and other items of equip
ment on each division. Central
stats for tabulating and recording
the returns from the mileage and
equipment squads will be main
tanned at the University. The
chief work of the students will be
to check up the actual property
from invoices supplied by the
utilities commission. The regents
of the University belive that the
work can be done as we'll by
students under competent super
vision as by anyone, and at a great
saving of cost to the state.
The department of economics
at the University will also be al
the service of the utilities com
mission in fixing railroad rates.

Senator Curtis was in Liberal
Monday, talking irrigation, and
on the face of things, trying to
procure information which will
lead to his securing government aid
for this district. However most
of the people who have lived here
for the last few years have
heard the same old thing before,
and some of them, from the same
source. As a matter of fact, it is
very generally understood to mean
that the Senator is making the
rounds in hope of fixing up the
fences in his political fence, before
the Stubs onslaught is launched
next year.

While there is considerable pros
pectiDg at this time as to the real
strength of the progressive re-
publican vote in Seward county,
it might be we'll to note the fact
that aside from the big split in the
republican party, there is now said
to be another faction coming on.
which is the young insurgent re-
publicans. The editor of the CHM
maron Jacksonian may be classed
as one of the younger generation.
He puts this one over to Bill
White, who is very generally Gre
dited with being the father of the
insurgent movement in Kansas.

it ever occur to the Gazette that
it is trying the same gag, trying
to read out of the progressive
forces everybody except a member

believe in the policies which
White and Stubs advocate, but
we also believe that any group OF

Getting Rich Quickly.

From the New York Herald
The story of the simple East Siders
who We're swindled by ih-tongued
gentleman with machine for making

carries with il lesson so important
and obvious that II is quite likely no
one will heed it. 1t is related of Bar
on Rothschild that to the son of an
old friend who consulted him in re
gard TO the best investment of mod
est patrimony, he said: DO YOU want
20 eat or sleep we'll? Remember that
YOU cant do both on this sum of mon
cy.' That rule applies not only to the
securities offered on the stock ex-
change. but to those whispered per,
Suasively into the ear of the greedy
and INSCRIPTIONS. The hope of get
ting rich quickly unseats reason, dead,
ems the still small voice of conscience
j and keeps the victims awake. The
schemes for swindling an Indian out Of
! the product of his gold mine or beat
ing ferret-eyed gamblers at their own
game, will command credence as long
as the world lasts. And Of all schemes
of this sort that of making or purchas-
ing counterfeit money has the strong,
est appeal.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

1t is cabled from England that the
authorities of the English church will
attempt TO revise the Ten Command
mentS.
Rather startling!
And probably mistake.
1t may only be that the language in
which the Decaiogue is contained is to
be revised so that the meaning Is
palmer
Learned men have made Il number of
verbal changes in the text of both the
Old and the New Testaments that are
original teSt. But
Any proposed change of the signifi-
canoe of the Mosaic commandments is
as absurd as change in the law Of
gravity, aud all Christendom would
protest against it.
Says the old negro melody. and it
voices the sentiment of the religious
world:
IT'S the old time religion.
And it's good enough for me-
Note this. however:
The Ten Comma ndments are not good
because they are old. On the contra
rs, they are cid because they are good.
And
The commandments are not good be-
cause they are in the Bible. They are
IN the Bible because they are good.
Some things are basic.
AS Daniel Webster pointed out in
his great speech, the Ten Command
ments. together with the Sermon on
the Mount, are the fundamentals upon
are based.
The Decalogue is organic.
We sometimes call the constitution
Of the United States or Of the states
''organic law" In sense they are
organic, but they can be changed
But you cannot change moral laws
They are fundamental like the laws
of mathematics.
They are primary laws.
Two and two are four, and it must
be SO.
If you try to make two and two
three you go into bankruptcy. If you
try to make two AID two five you go
to the penitentiary
Just so of the moral commandments.
They are Interchangeable and funda-
mental, immutable. invariable.
The old time commandments are
good enough for us.

new REMEDY USED
ON THE GRASSHOPPERS

St. Paul, Mimi. July 27.-A new
rough on grasshoppers" remedy has
just been discovered by NJ. P. Semes,
state hopper expert, and Is being
used with good effect in fighting the
hordes of pestiferous and destructive
insects that have appeared In many
sections of Minnesota. This seems
to be "grasshoppef year" in many
sections Of the West, including por-
lions of thit stale. the DakotSs, Ne
braska and Kansas.
The new treatment" for grasshop-
pers, which causes them to turn up
their toes and make a noise like a
death rattle, has sodium arsenite as
its principal ingredient. 1t is LEGS
expensive than paris green and said
to be more effective 1t is also claimed
to be sure death to potato bugs. Pow
der sprayers are used in applying the
sodium arsenite. A fringe of grass or
grain along the outer edge, 1t Is said,
will save the field. The hopper-dozeI
has been used with good effect when
the 'hoppers are in their infancy, but
after they grow wings the dozer is
useless.

THAT SILVER WEDDING.

1t would be hard to determine
whether it was more vulgar for Presi-
dent Taft to have formal silver we'd
ding celebrate on, which was an invi-
tation for people to send in carloads
of valuable provender than 1t was for
the people to respond. The San Fran
cisco Argonaut says: 1T used to be
tradition among well-bred people that
to give valuable presents to those who
are rich was a vulgarity."
The tradition still persists, no doubt
among well-bred people, but now that
we are a world power and the great
est financial empire of the civilized
globe, well-bred people are in the
hopeless minority.-Life.
