KANSAS COMMENT
POLITICS.

Four years ago, w. H. Taft was the
most honorable, capable and deserving
man in the country; this year, he is the
most dishonorable, the most incapable,
and the most undeserving. This has
been politics as far back as history
gives a record. Thousands of years
ago, the insurgents won. and drove the
stand pat king out of the country.
Thereupon the insurgents ruled with so
much insolence that in few years the
people revolted, and invited the stand
pat king to return from exile Then the
king used his authority to prosecute
the insurgents, and this he kept up
until the people rebelled again. and cut
off his head. When the insurgents were
in power, they did nothing to remedy
public wrong and extravaganza; when
the king of the stand pats was recalled.
he was equally bull-headed and dis
honorable. The people were about
equally divided, in factions. and in
stead of striving for the common good,
they tried to rob each other, incidental
ly encouraging every bad trait in
human nature. Occasionally we have
jumped from the fire into the frying
pan, but progress has been discourage
ingiy slow in politics. Individuals have
accomplished great results, and the
country has benefited by their energy
and intelligence, but, enmasse, the peo-
pie are almost as ineffective as they
ever were. And although all the coun-
try's greatness is Cue to the efforts OF
individuals who have learned the les
sons of experience, today we are trying
to throw business into the clumsy
hands of politics, where a thing that
should be done is placed on the table,
ruled out of order, referred to a COM
mittee, or postponed in some other
way. Not only are we trying to give
politicians the management of business.
but also we are trying to give them the
management of our private lives, by
means of socialism. The wisest men
are all of the opinion that we have too
many disturbing elections, and that
elections should be less frequent. But
instead Of adopting this suggestion, the
people are now screaming for the re-
call, which means more political cam
paigns than we have had.-Ed. Howe in
his Monthly Magazine for May.

BANKING REFORM.

Every man, no matter whether he
is merchant, farmer, manufacturer or
wage Garner, or whether he has or has
not a bank account, is vitality interest
ed in the country's banking system.
Merchants and manufacturers do bust
ness on credit; the farmers crops can
not be moved to market without re-
course to banking credit, and the wage
Garner is the first t. suffer when there
is financial disturbance. They should
all join in the movement for banking

A FINE WATCH FOR
A LOAF OF BREAD
Some Girl of Sixteen or Under Will
Win a ChateIaine Watch at Kan
diyohi County Fair.

The Fair Committee Of the Mime
sofa Federation Of Women's Clubs
has been so fortunate as to receive
from THE Farmer issued by the
Webb Publishing Company Of St.
Paul beautiful chatelaine watch to
be awarded at everyone Of our seven
ty-siX county fairs as a prize to the
girl sixteen years old and under who
exhibits the best loaf of bread made
Of Minnesota flour at her County
Fair. The prize winners Of 1912 will
be eligible to compete at the State
Fair Of 1913 for a diamond ring to
be given by the same generous paper.
The Committee is anxious to en-
pha>ize the fact that among all wo-
manly graces, none is more charm
ing than the knowledge and practice
of house wifery, and we trust that
another year will see widely spread
interest in this department. Some
counties have already taken up a
comprehensive plan Of this kind and
others will no doubt follow.
This year the State Fair is enter
tanning boy from every county in
the state. If the plans now under
way develop as is expected, next year
a prize Of equal value will be award
ed girls. Wherever it is practicable,
the Women's Clubs Of the county
are taking charge Of the work.
Minnesota has the best wheat, the
best flour and surely your county can
help prove that it's best girls are
its best cooks.

When in the course Of human
events duty calls for a change in
ones field of activity, and it becomes
necessary for one to depart from his
home community to fill a position in
which duty seems to place him, it is
self-evident that one can not con-
tinue to serve his home community
in the same capacity as when resi-
dent Of same. This is especially true
with reference to contributing news
items to a newspaper. 1t has, indeed,
afforded us great pleasure to "shoot"
the "Arctander Arrows" during the
five or six years we have rendered
such services to the welcome Tribune
and it would be a pleasure to con-
tinue doing 50 were it not for our alb
sence from the locality at least for
some time. We admit and regret that
our "arrows" have not been fired as
regularly as they might and should
have been, but assure you that we
have always striven to avoid person
alities, and if there is any one that
mas reason to think they have been
falsely represented or unjustly
slurred at, here is our apology. We
sincerely hope and expect to see
Arctander represented in the "Arc-
lander Arrows" in the future even
more regularly than in the past.

E. N. l.. church next Sunday, Sept l,

A most remarkable advertisement
In one sense it is illogical. It seems
to denounce drinking without which
the saloon could not exist. In anoth-

drunken man serve drinks to others
But isn't there a hint here to other
