KANSAS COMMENT
HIGH COST OF PRINTING.


TWO Reno county newspapers were
sold at auction recently, and half a
dozen Kansas weeklies are advertised
1or sale. The publishers of daily pa
pers have to do tall figuring to make
enos meet, even in brisk seasons, and
IN ou!l seasons there is good deal of
tragedy in newspaper offices.
everything that a printer man buys
has gone up in price. Labor is more
expensive than a few years ago, and
1t Is the same way with paper, and ink,
and all his supplies.
The butcher and the grocer. and
other business men can charge more
Tor their goods as their expenses in
crease, and the ultimate consumer has
TO stand for it, but the publisher can
nor raise his prices without causing a
general howl. He gets the same
SUBSCRIPTION price that he got when
it cost him half as much to issue his
paper, and he can't raise his advertis-
ing rates without having the militia
back of him. And in nine cases out
of ten he has to fight against ruinous
competition. Printers seem to have
less sense than the ordinary run of
men, in that they are willing to work
for nothing, rather than have nothing
to do.
AS consequence of this condition
of affairs good many Kansas papers
are on the market, and among them
are several which are old and which

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

The constitutional amendment MAX
ing United States senators elective by
popular vote instead of by legislatures
is now the unfinished business before
the senate. This gives the amendment
a more advanced position than it ever
reached before. 1t was placed there
by persistent maneuvering, supported
by a very small majority vote. If it
were an. ordinary bill it's passage at
this session would be assured, but a
two-thirds vote is needed for con-
stitutional amendment. Unless 1t can
secure more votes on its passage than
it has had in the balloting which gain
ed it the right. of way, it will be de-
feated for this session.
1t is possible that some of the votes
withheld from the amendment in the
preliminary skirmishing may be CIV
en- in it's support when senators are
called to make a record for or against
on the question of it's passage. 1t is
lively that it cannot pass at this ses-
sion, though the indications are
against it. It's status in the next con-
gress will be very different. A large
number of the senators whose votes
were recorded adversely to the amend
ment on Friday are losing their sena-
torial careers, at least for the present.
New senators will take their places
whose antecedents favor the presump-
ton that they will support the
amendment for the popular electlOn
of senators.-Philade1ph Press.

PAROLING FEDERAL PRISONERS
There is no precedent for paroling
federal prisoners, but that is no rea-
son why the practice, under conditions
similar to those under which certain
municipal and state prisoners are
given another chance. should not be
adopted. And it would not be the
first time that states have led the
nation.
All things considered, the best time
to extend clemency, if t. can be ex-
tended then, is before man or wOm-
that time is worth more than later,
when the mark of the convict has
been set upon the prisoner. The work
of reforming criminals and reducing
crime, of making men and women out
those who are weak or mildly vicious,
cannot be effectively carried forward
without the parole system or its equiv
alent Some discretionary power must
be left with the officers of the courts,
and the necessity is just as great in the
federal courts as in the state and city
courts.
The departure that Mr.. Leslie J..
Lyons. United states district attorney.
proposes to make in this direction
will be watched with interest and con-
adence. The granting of indefinite
continuanceS in certain cases and I'M
der prescribed conditions amounting
to a parole and ultimately leading to
dismissal for good behavior. is a plain,
practical way to exercise helpful Glenn
ency in the federal courts.-kansas
