WERHAHN.

Louisa Uhle was born in Hanover
Germany, March s, 1910, and died in
Great Bend, Kansas, April Z, at the
age of 72 years, month and 80 days
In the year 1861 she was united in
marriage to Conrad Otogge Of Ham
over and to this union two sons, Fred
and Henry, were born and both sur
vive her. They live in Grinnell, Ia.
Mr.. Olrogge died in 1865 and y
years later she was married to Chris
tian Werhahn, a widower with five
children, Fred and Chris Werhahn of
Chicago, Mrs. Van Hotter Of Green
Ourg and Henry and Will of this
county. One child, Gus Werhahn, was
corn to Mr.. and Mrs. Werhahn. All
the children named and the husband
survive. The family moved to the
United States in 1882, locating in 10
wa and in 1886 came to this county,
locating on a farm in Clarence town
ship where they lived until couple
of years ago when they moved to
town
For the last year Mrs Werhahn had
been in very poor health and stead
lily growing weaker. Everything posi-,
bic was done for her but to no avail
She was a kind and loving mother
and her death is deeply regretted
not only by the family who know
and loved her so we'll but by scores
OF others as we'll She was a member
Of the German Lutheran church and
a great worker for the Master. A.
side from her home her next inter-
est was in the church. The funeral
services will be held tomorrow after
noon from the home at O'Clock and

able to see that tax on land values
only cannot possibly hurt those who
own the least valuable land, and that
1t must benefit one who puts his land
60 its best use. However, those farm
ers who have not yet realized that
when they let themselves be stamped

were being buncoed by the plumber

May number of Hearst's Magazine.
They will find the evidence furnish
ed therein by Mark Hanna himself.
They will see a letter now published
for the first time, written in Septem-
Eer Of 1909 by Hanna to John D.
ArchbOh, treasurer Of the Standard
Oil Company, acknowledging receipt
of money with which to carry ON his
campaign against johnson. "Corpor-
atoms will catch it," was the warn

In 1903 Tom L. johnson was the
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
Ohio. His republican opponent was
menely one Of Mark Hanna's dunn
mics, and the fight was generally
looked upon as one between johnson
and Hanna. Hanna raised an awful
hullabaloo about Johnson being a sim
gle taXer, and as is still the fashion
with pnnderbunders, pretended to be-
lieve that the single tax would hurt
the farmers. He did succeed in bad
" fooling the farmers that year. They
beat johnson by 114,OOO majority.
They thought they were going to pro
tect themselves. AS a matter OF fact,
they were voting to monopolistic cor
porations continued power to plumber
them. They should have known this
all the time. They should have been

should be enforced. As mayor of To
peka, have practiced what l am now
preaching. II elected governor, l
shall enforce this law as well as all
other laws as long as it remains ON
the statutes, but will not waste the
taxpayers money In employing an
army Of disreputable people to en-
courage its violation for the purpose
Of securing convictions, as has been
done in this and other counties.
believe that it can be enforced by
the county attorneys and other Off
Gems Of. each locality.
Although opposed to prohibition,
wish 1t distinctly understood that
am not in favor Of excessive drink
ing nor the evils which attend IL.
Nearly thirty-two years ago, voted
for the prohibitory amendment, hop
ing that it would correct the evils
connected with the class Of saloons
that existed at that time. Experience
has long ago convinced me that the
prohibitory law has not produced the
desired results; ON the other hand,
it has produced far greater evils. 1t
has created a general disregard for
all laws, disrespect for public Off
Gals, degraded and made perjurers
and criminals of many good citizens;
this has resulted in a general demon
alization far greater than any good
it may possibly have accomplished.
The citizenship of Kansas has not be-
come better nor more sober on &C.
count Of this law. The only remedy
for excessive drinking and the con-
nected evils, is proper education and
development of selfcontrol The pro
hibitory law will not accomplish either
OF these. l am heartily in favor of
temperance and morality, or any
thing that will tend toward mitigat-
ing the evils of intemperance and i'm
morality.
l agree with the advocates of tenn
penance and prohibition as to the end
to be attained, but differ from them
as to the means to be used in at
tanning these ends. l would glad
ly cooperate with them in any
course which in reality would tend
toward the elevation of good citizen-
ship, morally and Intellectually, or
that would make better men, better
women and better communities in
which to live. l believe that such
ends can only be accomplished by
proper education and the individual
development of sef-coutrol. Teach
the growing generation the advantag-
es of temperance, the evils of in
temperance, and self-control, and you
will not need prohibitory laws.
If elected governor, would not use
the patronage of the office to secure
reelection, or attain any other office;
would not spend my time which would
then belong to the public, in tour
ing the country, making speeches,
trying to elect congressman or boost
ing some presidential candidate.
The governor of a State is as much
the servant of the people as any les
ser official, and his time belongs to
the public. l believe in a business
administration, lower taxes and the
voice of the people ruling. If elected
governor Of this great State, will de-
vote my time to the faithful perform
ance of the duties Of the office to
the best Of my knowledge and abil-
ity. ]. B. BILLIARD.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Over decade ago officials Of the
Post Office Department started a cam
paign for a restricted circulation OF
the public press, and for this purpose
demanded Of Congress an increase in
the postage rate, adopted a code of
laws extraneOus to the laws passed
by Congress, and enforced them with
the help of a small army Of inspec-
tors and a secret star-chamber court.
In the course Of six years Of rev.
olutonary ferment and its aftermath
from December Z, 1905, to October
IA, 1911, the Russian authorities con-
fiscated issues Of newspapers and per
iodicals in 1855 cases. In 2S3 Of
cases the issues were destroyed, and
in II cases certain pages OF articles
We're removed by order Of the court
In the United States of America
during the same period, 1905 to 1911,
inclusive, 5,2S6 publications were de-
MED access to or elected from the
mails, resulting in a permanent sus-
pension Of issues in many cases with
little less disastrous results to the
owners that would have been the con-
fiscation Of types, presses, and other
printing and publishing equipments.
In Russia the confiScation of LOSS
publications applied only to certain
specific issues or parts of issues, not
tC the publications themselves. in
every case the authority for the pro-
cedure being justified by regularly
constituted courts.
In the United States the confica-
ton covered the whole establishments
to the ability and rights to publish
further issues, without appeal to the
courts, and based, not upon any we'll
defined or MISUNDERSTOOD laws of
Congress, but upon certain multitude
nous, obscure, arbitrary rules and
regulations, varying according to the
notions Of the official who happened
to occupy the seat Of power, and
changing from year to year.
The excuse for such mild exhibition
OF Russian despotiSm was the publica.
ton Of articles inimical to the Gov
eminent; the sole pretext in the
United States for such drastic and
arbitrary action was the authority
given to the Postmaster General by
Congress for the classification of
mail matter. The pretended justifi-
cation was that the Government lost
money on second-clasS matter, a con-
dition that did not exist.
OF course the real reason for this
campaign was to conceal the fact
that excessive payments to railroads
for carrying the mails has caused a
deficit. In order to protect railroad
graft the Cleveland, Mckinley, Roose-
welt and Taft administrations have
thrown freedom Of the press to the
winds and have grown holder and les
scrupulous in this tyrannical policy as
time has gone by.
