THE CASE OF MIR. sTUBBs.

lola Register: Governor Stubs
is quoted in the morning papers as
declaring himself for Roosevelt for
president and claiming that RoOse-
welt is entitled to nine Of the Kansas
electors, the two at large and the
seven in the districts carried by
Roosevelt in the primary.
When asked If he would file for
United States senator rs Republi-
can candidate he replied with laugh
that he certainly wouldn't file any
other way
Which last statement taken In con-
|nection with the first one, can only
mean ii he is an honest and honor
able man, that he will not file at all,
The governor says that he advised
against a bolt, and yet he acknowl-
edges that he has bolted when he
declares that he is for Roosevelt and
not for the candidate Of the Re-
publican party.
Col. Roosevelt himself has finally
done the square and manly thing. He
has declared that he will organize
new party from the ground up. He
has abandoned the dishonest and dis
honorable Stubs idea of trying to BE-
a Republican In one state and an in
dependent progressive in another, ant
will set himself to build new party
in all the states. Those who pro
pose to follow him, therefore, mus
follow him into that new party.
No man can be for Roosevelt ant
remain in the Republican party.
If Mr.. Stubs il for Roosevelt fo
president, according to- Roosevelt
himself he cannot be a Republican
And If he Is not a Republican b
cannot hoporably place his name Of
, the Republican ticket as a candi
date for senator, any more tha'
Judge Thompson could or Hugh Far
reilly. 1t is the parting Of the way
for Mr.. Stubs.

yention and support the regular nomt-

A farmer out in Kansas, about five
years ago, went into I town one day
10 spend some OF his hard-enrned
dough" 'And 10 a merry lest" and
Just to show his printing skill ne
printed his initials on q brand new
dollar bill.
J. He spent that dollar that same
day, down In the village store. he
thought twas gone forever then, and
he'd see it no more. But long before
that year rolled BIZ. one day he went
TO iii q neIghbor's order and re-
ceiyed that same one dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar
in his own neighborhood, where. It
would do himself and friends the
most amount of good. Four times
in two years It came back. as some
bad pennies viii, and each time he'd
60 out and spend this marked one
dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar
might be in this town today, but Just
two years ago he sent X far away.
The people who received 1t then !
know have got it still. for twas to
a mail order house he sent his dollar
bill.
No more will that marked dollar
come into the farmers hands, and
never more will 1t help pay the taxes
ON his lands, He put 1t where 1t
never can its work Of life fulfill.
He brought about the living death
of that one dollar bill Exchange.

n,uE .sPECtAL INTEREsTs."

The special interests" What are
they? Roosevelt in the blind FURY
Of his defeat calls heaven to- witness
that it was the special interests
that brought his downfall. Bryan In
Baltimore sees the same baneful trail
of the special interests" across his
path. In fact, every defeated poll
tician these days lays the blame upon
the impersonal Especial interests.
Therefore 1t is well thinks the Kan
sas City Journal to inquire what par
ticular instrument of iniquity these
special interests" are.
In the case of Roosevelt the "spe-
cial interests" are those business IN
terests that are against him. His
sole test of business integrity Is
whether that particular business Is
backing his personal ambitions or
not. In the popular mind the "spe-
cial interests" are Wall street men
and trusts. If that is the correct
estimation of the especial interests
then Roosevelt has as many special
Interests" backing him as any other
politician Of national fame. Back Of
Roosevelt was the steel trust, the
harvester trust, the sugar trust, the
powder trust; the Standard Oil com
pany the maze of institutions belong
ing to or affiliated with J. Pierpon'
Morgan & Co. Therefore 1t Is seeT
that there are certain special inter
ests" that have, received Colone
Roosevelt's approval. When Georg
Perkins, representative Of these "spe
Lcial interests goes to Chicago witt
a big check book and pays the bills

OTHER BOLTS.

There was bolt from the Repub-
Iican party in 1854, and some very
earnest and eloquent men took part
in it; they said that Abraham Lin
coin was no president for radicals to
vote for, being an unprogressive per-
son who made the Constitution his
fetch, was insensitive to human
rights, meant well enough perhaps In
feeble way but was useless to the
people. The national ticket OF those
boilers of 1864 did not last until
election day; it and they were lost
in the shuttle. There was another
and much more formidable bolt from
the Republican party In 1872; the
men who led off in It were not Pin
chots. Films and Heneys, but men
of the political distinction Of Greeley
Sumner, TrumbulI and Schurz. For
a time that bolt made many Repub-
licans nervous good old Henry Will

10 can or not TO can-that - the
ouestlon. whether tbs wiser IN che
mind Of the housewife to pickle, 70
preserve, 10 can. or to spend her time
upon the piazza, magazine In hand
and buy canned goods from the nepfr
est grocery The question is ABLY
discussed IN recent issue Of Farm
and Home. A New England house
keeper writes:
/ greatly deplore the tendency OF
tine modern housewife to feed her
family on boughten canned stuff"
instead Of doing her own canning,
preserving and Picking as her moth
or and grandmothers used to DO IL
seems to me not only an unthrifty
way, but enc actually deleterious to
the health OF the family, for in spite
Of the pure food laws we know that
much stuff that is not good or health
full finds its way into cans. and Tor
which we must pay high price
The farmer should. wherever pos
sible, produce what he consumes, and
sell the surplus to best advantage.
The stuff from garden and orchard
canned at home. generally finds 2
ready nearby market. and obviates
the necessity Of selling such products
when they are fresh at a season
when the market is gluted and prices
way down. Many housewives, with
the aid of members of the family
can sell fruits and vegetables at a
nice profit.
The other side is thus explained
by a Kansas housewife: Does i
pay? Is It worth while to cook and
can ali the hot summer, so that we
may feast during the winter? The
time was when much of the canned
goods offered for sale was Of a poor
quality, but since we have the pure
food law we can tell much better
what. we are buying. Last year late
! blackberries, peaches ana roassins
ears all needed to be cared for ct the
Isame time. The fruit ! felt that 4
must take care Of. but the roasting
ears were sent to market and ex'
changed for canned corn. No one
made any objection when it wal
brought to the table, so probably
