finds it's way into the newspaper offices ever finds it's way into print The corre- spondent goes through it something like the city editor goes through the noun tain of stuff that is piled on his desk and throws away much more than he prints.
 But all this stuff is good reading The variance of claims put forth by the managers of the various candidates is amusing and divertlng. For instance, there arc more than 100 votes difference in the claims of Taft and Roosevelt Each is claiming more votes than he will con cede to the other. The claims vary wide ly as to the votes actually instructed.
 As sample of the good literature that is being wasted on the dusty air of the newspaper offices in Washington I will quote the following lifted from six long pages of dope from the Taft headuuar- ters that has just been slipped through the door of The Age-Herald's Washington office:
 When The Back From Elba club was in it's infancy, Senator LaFollette called upon Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay I want to tell you, the senator confided to the newspapermen as he was leaving, that Colonel Roosevelt is the greatest living American Upon being told of the senator's statement. the colonel said,
 T think there is nothing I can add to what the senator has said
 "That was two years ago. Senator La Toilette today is telling another story The colonel has not changed his mind.
 Samuel l.. Clemens, known to Amer I'ica and the world as Mark Twain, could read the handwriting on the wall. Two days after the inauguration of President 1 Taft in 1909, Mark Twain, in an original manuscript which came to light after his death in 1911, predicted that Colonel Roosevelt had the presidential fever, and would run again in 1912. He expressed
 the profoundest qualification. however that under Taft the nation was to have
 four years at least of peace.
 " Astronomers assure us,' wrote Mark Twain. that the attraction of gravitation on the surface of the sun is 2S times as powerful as is the force at the earth's surface, and that the object which weighs PIT pounds elsewhere would weigh GOO pounds there. For seven years this coun- try has lain smothering under q burden like that. the incuhus representing in the person of President Roosevelt the diff ference between PIT and coco. Thanks be-
 We got rid of this disastrous burden day before yesterday, at last.
 |" Forever? Probably not Probably for only a brief breathing spell, wherein
 under MT. Taft, we may hope to get back some of our health in four years. We ma. expect to have MT. Roosevelt sitting on us again with his 2s times the weights of any other presidential burden that a | hostile providence could impose upon us for our sins
 "'Our people have adored this showy charlatan as perhaps no impostor of his breed has been adored since the golden | calf: so it is to be expected that the na- tion will want him back again after he is done hunting other wild animals hero ically in Africa, with the safeguards and sadvertising equipment of a park of artil- lery and a brass band.'"

Kansas Farmers Wear Dress Suits

From sthe Topeka Capital.
 Kansas farmers no longer are native to overalls and top boots. That the old caricature' is entirely pushed into the past was demonstrated at the meeting of thA Farmers Alliance here this week. At the evening functions dress suits were much in evidence. The men attending could be well represented only by a tailor's fashion plate.
 We consider ourselves business men. said one farmer. "We conduct our work along business lines and study it. Farm ing is a science and labor saving ma- cllinery has changed our lives.
 "A farmer of two decades ago would watch horse that showed good breed- ing Todavhe eyes the automobile for signs of excellency.

SOME WASHINGTON GOSSIP
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, April 5.-(Special )-Every evening about o clock about half dozen young men may be seen traversing the business district of Washington with their arms loaded down with long, fat envelopes. Passing stealthily and hurriedly up and down the corridors of the big office build ings they drop a package through the let ter slots in doors here and there.
 If you follow them you will discover that all of the different young men sys- tenatically stop at the same doors, but all have different routes If you should happen to accidentally discover this live little industry you would probably won der why the business swas not consol- dated. One man or one corporation could engage to deliver these pieces of mail or cornmunicaticns at a great saving.
 But, no, such an arrangement would hardly answer the purpose of the indus try.
 To explain:
 These young men represent presidential political headquarters in Washington. They are bearing messages of great im- rort to the several hundred newspaper men stationed at the capitol. If you take further notice as you follow these young men you will discover that the name of some newspaper man and his paper ap- pear on the doors where the messages are deiA cred.
 The newspaper man sitting behind the door is literally deluged with political lit erature of varying degrees of brillancy. They fall on his floor like a miniature waterfall.
 The hilarious claims of Roosevelt come tumbling after the confident assur- ances of Taft. The stilted cock sure n;meog-aphic final conclusions of Wood row Wilson get tangled in the gummy flap of a pompous epistle from Champ Clarli's headquarters. These never fail, sunny days or rainy days, Sunday or working days.
 When something happens real juicy there is a dignifed, modest message from Harmon headquarters. The Harmon peo- pie do not burden the newspaper men with as much literature as formerly, but worth reading.
 The Underwood headquarters send out statement occasionally, not more than one every two weeks. And that Is always a modest statement reminding the people that MT. Underwood's s friends believe he is available. that they believe there is chance of his nomination, and that if nominated and elected he will add dig nitv to the highest position in the land. They make no wild claims and never a word of criticism of any other candi- dale.
 But to return to this publicity indus try.
