we cannot too persistentIy en-
phaslze the fundamental truth that
the worst enemy OF the workingman
Is he who, under whatever specious
pretext, counsels or commits violence
against the employer or the COM
munity. The men now under indict-
ment for dynamiting are entitled to
fair trials, and good men everywhere
will rejoice II every man is able to
prove his innocence. But the right
Of men to organize carries with 1t
the right Of every man to remain
outside the organization II he so
elects. Organized labor will be
helped, not hindered. by the frankest
possible concession Of this point, and
by so ordering it's future that the
public can be in no doubt as to its
position.

FIGURES "RAPr ROOSEVELT.

| FlOOUIbO INNE NOCoEN bbLs
The Kansas politicians who are
booming Roosevelt with might and
main give as their chief reason that
the Colonel is the only man who
can keep Kansas in the Republican
column this year and carry through
the whole state ticket to victory. 1t
might be we'll for the promoters of
this idea, and they have been SOW
ing 1t broadcast throughout the
state, to go back and look at the
figures.
They will find the remarkable
fact-remarkable in the light of
their assertions of Roosevelt's al
legged tremendous strength in Kan
sas-that Roosevelt, running in
1904 against Alton B. Parker, "a
very weak candidate, and a dead
one" so far as the west was con-
cerned, polled only $4,000 more
votes in Kansas than did Taft, run
ming against Bryan. the idol of the
Democracy of the west, in 1908.
Bryan polled almost twice as many
votes In Kansas as Parker.
In 1904 Roosevelt got 212,955
votes in Kansas and Bryan in 1908
161, 209. With only half the Demo
cratic vote of Kansas cast in 1904,
or about $4,000 less than was cast
for Bryan four years later. it would
indicate that even the $1,000 which
Roosevelt got over Taft were Demo-
cratic votes.
The assertion that the state ticket
needs Roosevelt to pull it through,
when analysed by the election fig
ures of the past, also gets jolt.
In 1904 Roosevelt got 212,955 votes
in Kansas. Joe Buroow was run
ming for secretary of state and got
1S3, PA, or $4,000 less than Roose-
welt. In 1908 Taft got 1926
votes in Kansas and G. e. Denton,
candidate for secretary of state, got
1898. In other words, candidates
for state offices running with .Roose-
welt did not get as many votes as
did candidates for state offices rum
ming with Taft. Burrow, running
with Roosevelt. polled $4,000 less
votes than did Denton, running with
Taft.
To show how "dead" Parker real
ly was, so far as his popularity with
Kansas Demomcrats is concerned. it
is pointed out that John H. Curran,
who was the Democratic candidate
for secretary Of state in 1904, polled
$4,000 votes while Parker got but
86,174 in Kansas.
Bryan has always been an idol of
Kansas Democracy, and Kansas
Democrats turn out in full force
when he runs. The handsome man
ner in which Taft defeated him in
Kansas, when compared with Roose-
velt's victory over weak candidate
for whom only half of the Kansas
Democrats voted, gives Taft an act
ual edge in the hold on Kansas as
between the two men.

NIAGARA WILL BE RESERVED.

NIAGARA WILL BE RESERVED.
After a decade Of agitation the
preservation OF Niagara Falls as q
natural wonder is assured by the
waterways treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, which
will become effective in this country
on March L.
Recent photographs of the great
cataract, compared with those taken
from a similar position fifteen and
twenty years ago, show that no
damage has been done to the APP
pearance of the falls, despite the
fear at one time that the drawing
off Of water for power production
would destroy the spectacle. The
Burton law interviewed as tenn
porary expedient, but will give way
next month to the waterways treaty,
which runs indefinitely unless ter
minated by either nation upon a
year notice.
International action in response
to public opinion has not only saved
Niagara Falls in undiminished splen-
dor but it has proved that the caar-
act ID mighty enough to run factories
and trolley cars and light streets and
at the same time remain scenic
masterpiece.
The engineers upon whose in
vestigations the waterways treaty
was based found that the amount
Of water diverted on the American
side, which by the Burton law was
limited to 1880 cubic feet per sec
ond, could be increased without
damage to 10000 cubic feet. Ac-
cordine to official estimates the use
Of an additional 400 cubic feet
win lower the crest OF the American
Falls less than one-eighth Of an inch.

The statement of Senator La Fol-
lette's secretary as to the Philadel-
phia speech puts him in a better
light from one point Of view, but
the net result Of the incident and
statement is to puncture his boom
as effectually as his most ardent foe
could desire. The secretary declares
that the speech. as prepared, would
have occupied barely 81 minutes in
delivery. But the speaker was in
such q mental and nervous condi-
ton that he could not hold the
thread Of his address, wandered, re-
psated and occupied more than two
hours. greatly to the anguish Of his
auditors, as the senator did not
commence tin past IL o'clock. AS
q speseNmaker he may be helped BY
this eSslanation. but as q presiden-
tai asplrant ne = placsd n the

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

The other day farmer went into
a hardware store in Salina with
bill OF hardware already made out
on one of the order blanks supplied
by Montgomery, Ward & Company.
He handed the list to the proprietor
of the local store and asked him II
he could duplicate the prices. The
home dealer never looked further
than the head of the bill to see what
he was up against. He promptly re-
piled that he could furnish the whole
list with the exception of the nails
for the Montgomery & Ward prices
and that his price for the nails would
include freight. The farmer gave
the Salina man the order.
The local dealer supplied the goods
which amounted to only about $45
and after the transaction was closed
compared the Montgomery q Ward
prices with his own reglar rates for
similar articles and found that he
had received $40 more than his
standard prices. He made his custom
er q present Of the best jack knife In
the store and INDUCED in a laugh at
the expense of the man who thought
he could save money by forcing a
local dealer to meet mail order
prices. III
All this has been said as matter
of fact by the Union score Of times
in the asst six months. There are
three things for local business men
to do that will put catalogue houses
out Of business. The first and most
important is to give all customers an
absolutely square deal. This means
that any price that is made to one
customer will be made to every GUS
toner. And 1t means that the price
charged has no reference whatever
to the ability Of the customer to get
his moneys worth. The square mer-
chant does not depend on the ability
of the customer to protect himseif.
He protects his customer.
The second thing necessary is to
match the mail order houses in both
quality and price. The third thing
and most necessary Of all is to con-
vince the man who has or who is in
danger Of contracting the mail order
habit that the first two can be done
and will be done and are being done
every day in the week and all the
year round. To accomplish the third
necessary thing the local merchant
must beat the mail order man at his
own favorite and best game which
is nAhlicitN The FOCAL merchant
must comprehend that an appropria-
ton for advertising is just as much
an investment as purchase OIL
stock, and that If properly used 1t is
the most profitable investment that
he can make.
True this means additional busi-
ness to the local newspapers, but
they deserve it for they are constant
ly fighting the battles Of the local
businessman in such q way that fl
returns are impossible. Eth
er Of the two daily papers in this
town could fill its columns with the
advertising of the big mail order
houses at higher'rate than the local
pay for the same service
But all such business is rejected be-
cause the local papers are enlisted in
the war for the upbuilding Of local
business. Salina Union.
