DISREGARD FOR The TRUTH
REPUBLICANS TELLING OF saw.
ING THAT DOES NOT EXIST.
Expenses Of Kansas Constantly Grow.
ing Heavier Without Any q
Adequate Return. GO g

The administration bosses whoodom-
mated the Republican party council
and dictated the Republican state plat.l
form evidently believe a majority Of
the voters of the state to be stur'
and easily deceived. Never before in
the history Of Kansas has the plaA
form Of any party shown in such de.
gree what must be characterized
either as a shocking disregard for the
truth or an amazing ignorance OF the
state business which these same
bosses have been managing The
Republican state platform makes the
following untruthful declaration: The
state is being run at a less expense
today than 1t was eight years ago,
excluding the state university, ,agrl.
cg,ti college and normal schools.
This is shown by the facts that while
state taxes are only. $4,000 higher
this year than they were eight years
ago, the appropriations this time for
the higher educational institutions.
excluding the 100000 appropriated
for state aid to rural schools. aggre.
gate 100000 more than they were
eight years ago. In other words, the
state institutions, boards, etc, aside
from the educational, are costing the
people 100000 less today than they
we're eight years ago"
IGNORANT OR DISHONEST.
The administration bosses who putt
the above declaration in the Repub-
lican platform are lacking either inI
that honesty which demands that pub
lie. servants tell the people the truth
about the public business or they are
utterly and entirely without informa,
tion as to what has been going on In
the various. state departments. In
either case, their platform declara,|
ton brands them as unworthy to be
!cnger entrusted with public respon-
sibiIity. The Republican platform
SAYS that state expenditures. except
for the educational institutions have
decreased since 1904. Following are
the facts: In 1904. the total state
cxrenditures as shown BY the records
/. Of the state auditor were $3.50, ,0S6.7 20.
In 1912. as shown by the samedrecords.
he total state expenditures are
| 34,426,422.65. That Is an increase Of
a little over a. milllcn end three-quar-
tets dcllars. The Republican state
platform says that the expenses Of
he higher educational institutions
have increased 100000 Al right
hen. where has the rest Of the mil
lion and three-quarter dollars increase
IN state expenditures gone IF the state
is being. run at less expense today
than it was eight years ago." There
Is a discrepancy of something like
sSOO.COO a year between the Republi
can platform and the truth. Is thai
DISCREPANCY due to mendaciy or is
norance? Will not some one Of the
: many state officers tell us? They
ought to know. The Republican STATE
: chairman says that they have all beer
staying right on. the job. =

DIR. Eliot's statement with respect
to Japanese feeling toward Americans
ought to be reproduced in every
American newspaper. On this point
he says:
"It is criminal for politicians. news
papers or others to give voice or lend
an ear to statements to the contrary.
japanese statesmen are not ordinarily
willing to speak of a possible wsr be-
tween their couGtry and the United
States, 50 very absurd do they regard
the idea to be. In spite of the treaty
offensive and defensive to a degree,
between Great Britain and Japan,
there can be no question but that
the Mikado'S empire, government END
people, is actuated in all things by
even a friendlier feeling for us than
,or Great Britain. Remember, am
not saying that England or the Eng
lish are disliked-that would be al
uItruth-but l am simply using thu
comparison to indicate the degree Oi
good will in which the American gov
eminent and people are held.

$500.
Every contestant out for honors
should not let this opportunity pass
them without making every effort to
secure this big block Of votes. More
than one of these EXTRA ballots
will be issued to contestant; it de-
pends upon the amount of energy
that you display, as to the number
that you will get.
If there is any contestant in the
contest who has net at this tine re-
ceived a subscription book, do not
lcse any time notifying this depart.
ment Of the fact, either by phone or
letter, ard one will be sent you at
once. 1t is very essential that you
should have one, as then you will be
able to issue receipt to your friends
who may subscribe in your favor.
The readers are starting to- take
a lively interest in the contest since
the names are published. This IS
very noticeable at the office, where
not a day passes but what some of
the old subscribers are wanting to
know where they are paid to, so that
they can pay another year and there
by give the votes to their favcrite.
Several Of the contestants who have
not actually made the start them
selves, lave been helped this way,
and If you are one OF these you
should lose no time in making up
Your mind that you are going to re
spect the confidence your friends are
placing in you by giving You these
votes.
At this time there is a very large
list of names. This will be greatly
reduced as the cnotest progresse:
and after all have been visited BY
the Contest Man. So if you thinl
that there is a big list Of contestant
do not get discouraged, for when tht
end comes you will find the lis
much smaller than at this time
KONTEST KONINiENT.
Gradually the contest is gettia,
under way and it will not be but 4;
short time until those in the con
test column will be coming down tn
line to the finish.
Some fast racing was seen at tn
: fair grounds yesterday, but that wa
nothing to what the race will b
in the Barton County Democrat
Voting Contest, the last week Of tn
contest.
Do not imagine that you can pu
off getting the start much longer.
The early bird" in this oontes
gets the automobile or one Of tn
other awards listed.
And you have Just as good a ehanc
to be a prize winner as any who's
name appears in the published list.
There is yet time to enter the col
