KANSAS COMMENT
HOW DO THEY FIGURE 1T

HOW DO THEY FIGURE IT2
You all know how postmasters are
accused of being coerced in politics
You have all heard of this no doubt.
Every postmaster in Kansas is under
suspicion" because he happens to be
postmaster. If he expresses an opin-
ion on any subject he is Immediately
lined up as part of machine. Why
is a postmaster any different than an
oil inspector, a regent of the state in
situations, or any one of the thousand
and one other appointive offices in
Kansas? 1t is a notorious fact that
every appointive officer in Kansas I'M
der the Stubs administration is as
strong for the Stubs faction of the
party as any postmaster is for Taft. Is
there any difference? Both classes of
fellows are human but it makes us
tire to see this postmaster deal CON
tinually oVerplayed. We know one
postmaster who had never had one
single line requesting him to support
int Taft administration or any other
administration. We feel just as free
to support Wilson for president as we
do Taft or Roosevelt so far as the post
office is concerned. 1t is silly for any
one to presume that the president of
the United States has time to dip into
and sift the political leanings of every
FELLOW who is appointed postmaster.
he IS appointed on the recommended
ton of his congressman and the dope
about poStmaSters being more active
than any other officeholder. either ap-
pofntive or elective, is hog wash. When
lose his right of suffrage, neither does
he lose the right of taking part in the
anairs of government or voicing his
sentiment in regard to these things A
postmaster is citizen the same as
an other white man and his hands
are lied no more than the fellow who
IS appointed to two dollar a day Job
by the mayor of any village. Take il
from us. four-fifths of the postmaster
dope you read about is purely political
hog wash behind which some fellow
Is hiding the fact that he is taking
remuneration for his political services.

REMEDY FOR LIvINGS COST.
President Waters of the Kansas
state Agricultural college, SAYS that
mere is no remedy in sight for the
hlgh cost of living. His arguments
ana statements are sane and plausi-
PIE and he appears to be right In
the first place the high cost of living
has brought the price of farm land
up from 100 to 400 per cent and IL
we are to have cheap living the far
mer must suffer by being compelled
again to produce fifty cent wheat
and twenty cent corn, with hogs and
cattle proportionately low. This
would, of course, result in the quick
depression in prices of farm lands
and in the ruin of the farmers If
Professor Waters will consider history
a little he will find that by electing
a Democratic national administration
the cost of living will come down
but the farmers and laborers will pay>
the bill in decreased income-Abilene
Reflector.
