everything seems to be going Taft
ward.
In Chicago last Saturday the ROose-
Welt boomers thought they had the Re
publican convention two to one, but
When the votes were counted it stood
$50 for Taft and 100 for Roosevelt. on
Thursday in New York city the Re
publican county committee in an i'm
portant convention voted $40 for Taft
and Il for Roosevelt. Similar words
were heard from the Sixth district of
Iowa, Kings county. New York, and
Taft uprising over the country gen
orally.
There is one fine thing about Gov
ernor Stubs. and the writer is one
of his personal admirers and enjoys
talking with him about crops and the
farms. for we are both farmers the
minute we can get away from politics
J and newspapers: one of the nice
, things about Stubs is that he doesn't
abuse Taft. You can't get him to go
that far. The difference between the
Governor and this writer is that both
admire Roosevelt one admires Taft
and the other one says nothing against
him.
BY the way, do you notice that Mich
] olas Longworth, the son-in-law of the
distinguished Colonel, is an ardent
Taft man and is a good friend of his
father-in-law and wishes the colonies
wishes respected in regard to this pres
idential proposition which some of the
over-zealous friends of the Colonel are
trying to complicate to the Coloners

| There should be general commenda-
ton of the plan which is being dis
cussed by the members of the Topeka
Board of Education for the creation
of sinking fund that will wipe out
the bonded Indebtedness against the
schools. Such a sinking fund should
have been brought into existence
years ago. Had this been done. the
school system Of Topeka today would
have been on the shady side of easy
street. instead of up against a debt of
staggering proportions. There is no
need for recrim over the mis-
takes of the past. With everything
it is always a case of better late than
never. And the present intentions of
TIE school board in the premises are
encouraging.
TOpeka's bonded Indebtedness on its
school system alone is more than
100000. 1t is as large as the entire
bonded Indebtedness of the city for
all other purposes in the way of pub
lie Improvements, exclusive of the debt
concerned with the water system. The
revenues from the water department,
however are sufficient to handle that
debt nieely and eventually pay it off.
A sinking fund is also in the process of
formation to take care of the general
city debt
Under present conditions, though.
the school debt is something of a dead
horse that it takes a lot of money to
carry along. For instance the interest
on this debt amounts to $4,000 an
nually The sinking fund plan that has
been proposed to provide for the pay
ment of this debt might increase the
tax rate for the schools. But it would
only be temporary increase. A one
mill tax for this sinking fund would
wipe out the entire bonded indebted
ness against the schools in a period of
ten years. Not only that but with
each succeeding year the annual inter
est charges on this debt would be ma
teriaHy decreased. And then think Of
the new school buildings and school
improvements that could be made each
year after the debt is paid with the
$4,000 that is now demanded and
raised annually to meet the interest
such a sinking fund. Perhaps the
school board may be able to make saw
ings so that the mill tax for the sink
ing fund viii not increase the present
annual levy for the schools. This is
not likely as the school system is
growing all the time. 1t has to in
order that it may keep pace with the
growth OF the city. But even if this
mill for the sinking fund should in
crease the school levy it would mean a
big saving later on to the taxpayers.

Help.

Mrs. Jerry Towne could never let
anything alone. She wanted to help.
Her pretty home though not exactly
a heaven. was place where marriages
were made. Some of them were happy.
And many occurred as scheduled by the
lady. Others did not.
Fairlie Trent, a nttle pale, but
quantity lovely. had just dispensed tea
in her studio while her friends--and 9TH
ers-viewed her winters work. It had
been a hard winters work, fruitful,
and with a picture hung in the salon.
But Fairlie was dispirited. She did not
like teas.
John Carer was one of her guests.
They had studied together, but he.
her elder, was some laps ahead She
called him the "pacemaher." He prats-
ed her, but also criticised mercilessiy
and helpfully.
He had come to the tea with Kittie
Morse, and was now leaving with her
This fact gave Mrs. Towne an idea.
She looked after the two from the
window, and then came to take her
leave of Fairlie. gurging and chat

CHAUNCEY DEWEY.s BoBBLE.

Not so many days ago and the news
was prominently displayed in the anti
Taft organs hereabou that Chaurcey
Dewey, erstwhile of Kansas, was the
Moses who was going to lead the Re
publicans of Chicago to declare for
the nomination of Roosevelt. Then
came the Cook county convention. and
be it borne in mind that almost all of
Cook county Illinois, is Chicago. This
convention by an overwhelming vote
declared for the denomination of
President Taft. Even the delegates
from the ward where Mr. Dewey is
supposed to be the Republican leader
took reserved seats on the Taft wagon.
Mr. Dewey did not even attend the
convention. And notwithstanding the
action Of Cook county Republicans
who viii probably send at least half
of the Illinois delegation to the Re
publican national convention. the
news comes from Washington that the
Progressive Republican league Of Illi-
nois has decided to ditch LaFollette
and work for a solid Roosevelt dele
cation from Illinois. Evidently the
Progressive Republican league of Illi-
nois has an idea that it is competent
to move a mountain.

fNExCUsABLE ARBFrRARINEss.

It is entirely reasonable for the
State Society of Labor to ask: ''Why
the delay?'' in the matter of the estab-
lishment of the state school of mines
at Weir City. And the Society is right
in endorsing the mandamus suit that
has been begun to compel the universe
~ regents to commence the work of
erecting the buildings needed for this
school.
When the legislature deemed it wise
that such a school be established, it
wrote nothing into the law decreeing
that Weir City should be a model
town in every respect or else forfeit
it's right to be the home of such a
school. Not a suggestion of that sort
is to be found in the statute providing
for this school.
Merely the powers that be, or the
powers that think they be in Kansas.
have hindered the construction of this
school. They found or claimed to have
found that Weir City is a locality
where not much attention is paid to
the prohibitory law. And it is prob
ably a fact that there is a consider
able traffic in liquors in that mining
center. But it is also likely to be just
as strong a fact that most of this
traffic originates in Missouri, as Weir
City is a border town, and in all of
the border towns of Kansas, or those
bordering on Missouri, at least, there
is an apparent disrespect for the pro-
hibitory law. 1t is likely that Weir
City is no worse in this respect than
any other town similarly situated. But
this is Weir City's misfortune
And for state officials to say that
because they do not think Weir City
is a morally fit place for the estab-
lishment of a state school of mines is
merely an arbitrary action for which
there is no good or sufficient excuse.
It is an insult to the intelligence and
the desires of the legislature of Kan
sas. A great howl goes up if the su-
preme court knocks out some legisla-
tive act as being unconstitutional,
especially if this act is an expression
of one Of the vagaries of the reform
ers'' who have been in the Kansas
saddle for some time. That is called
judicial usurpation of legislative func-
tions. What characterization can be
given to the action of these same IRE
formers in such a matter as the
knocking out Of the school of mines
for Weir City in the face Of distinct
and definite legislation on the sub
ject?
And the same sort of inexcusable
arbitrary power is being used, it
would seem, in holding up the location
of the new state hospital at Larned,
where the board of control decided it
should be placed.

from the figure of a week and ten days

Governor Stubs was slightly

boom which he was carrying east and
has now brought back to the west
The governor is understood to have
gone to New York to tell Colonel
Roosevelt how to make up his mind !;
that is. of course, assuming that it is
not now already in proper form. He
was anxious to secure an answer to
a statement which he had wired to
Colonel Roosevelt some days previous
declaring just what the colonel owed
to the people and what Indebtedness
he should now pay off by public
statement. The governor was not

A special train took several hun

$4,000.
