WILSON AND BUSINESS.

Our friends, the Democrats, made
sport of the Republican argument
from experience that a Wilson vic
tory would mean business setback,
and eventually recurrence Of the
Democratic hard times" of the
Cleveland administration. They rid
iculed 1t as the shopworn 'soup-
house argument"
Nobody hopes for the failure of
that dismal prediction more than
we do. Political advantage and the
I'VE told you so' satisfaction would
be a very poor compensation for
public calamity.
But that campaign prediction must
stand or fall by the action of the
Democrats themselves. 1t Is largely
cup to them" to upset the argument
that their return to power will again
bring about the familiar phenome-
non OF Democratic hard times"
They have a free trade plank in
their platform. It Is as sure as sun
down that If they even approximate
" shape their tariff policy by that
plank the "souphouse" era will re-
turn. Frankly. we do not believe
they viii.

Abilene has lost in the past few

Abilene has lost In the past few
days three citizens whose going
from earth has left the community
poorer. Mrs. T. H. Malott was one
OF those noble women whose life
was filled with helpfulness and
sympathy and who reflected her own
peace of soul upon the experiences
of all around her. D. w. Howard
rests from his labors leaving as
heritage record of sturdy upright
ness and of those attributes we un-
consciously ascribe to gentleman OF
the old school. James H. Speer win
be missed by young and old. Trou-
bles came to him but he never let
the world know. There we're tears
in. his eyes sometimes but always
smile on his lips and sunshine In
his heart. Sensitive as a woman to
the opinion Of his friends but un-
flinching in his devotion to his re-
ligion and his ideas of right, he
was welcome in every company and
many hearts will be saddened by
the quenching of his blithe spirit.
So they go from us-these men and
women who have been part Of Abb
lene's life-and their places can
never be filled as they filled them.
They fought the good fight and they
rest in peace from their labors.

THERE is A DEEP SILENCE.
stiM Surrounding sallna's POstOffice
Building.

Salina, Feb. 11.-Up to this time
no official word has been received
Salinas poatoffice addi-
tion. Dispatches some time ago an
nounced that all bids had been re-
ceived at the postoffice. Ben Brown,
a local bidder, has not been returned
the check accompanying his bid and
many believe that II the bids were
rejected. the checks would have been
returned Immediately.
A few days since, Postmaster Hull
wrote to Washington asking about
the matter. He urged thst the de-
partment increase the appropriation
slightly, II necessary, rather than
further delay matters as the addi-
tion is badly needed. So far no re-
ply has come to the letter.

1t is understood that Congress
man-elect Helvering had a some
what embarrassing time during his
visit here. He came expecting to
have several postoffice fights and
contests for other jobs on his hands.
Instead, it is reported, that when
he suggested that the gathered clans
talk about patronage the local DEM
ocrats refused to discuss 1t. They
would not allow such sordid things
to enter the conference but the en-
tire discussion related to methods OF
securing good laws for the better
ment Of mankind. They insisted
that Mr.. Helvering should go to
Washington unhampered by any
thought Of patronage but with only
the determination to uplift the ma
tion to higher plans Of civilization.

Ewing Herbert: Now and then
read of some Progressive who says
he leaves the Republican party be-
cause he can't stand the old lead
ers. Why doesn't he stay with the
party and help elect new leaders?
The majority of Republicans are
tired of the so-called old-time lead
ers. They have made a mess OF
things and should go away back and
sit down. Both Progressive and
Republican leaders should step aside
for the sake Of party unity. 1t need
MT make so much difference about
the offices, anyway. Put new men
up and new men in and forget all
differences.

fldence IN Democratic common sense
Prominent labor leaders freely pre-
dieting that tariff foolery vim make
the history OF the Cleveland admin.
iStration repeat itself in the nsxi
four years.
So the event, we say, Is up 10 the
Democrats themselves. II IL theirs
to make or mar their own political
fortunes in this vital regard.
OF course the country will net
continue In power a party whose
rule always comedies with business
collapse and hard times. The bitter
experience OF the Democrats. fol-
lowing the enactment Of the tisas-
trous Wilson tariff OF 1894, should
be as a lamp to guide their feet.
II this question of legislation for
prosperity or legislation for adver-
sity we're solely in the power OF the
bresident-eIect to determine. there
would be relatively little ground for
apprehension. Wilson has repeated
ly said he will not march to the bed
Iamite tune Of that free trade plank.
But he will hard a hard road to
travel. with congress containing
a large element of untried men,
tariff spectacularists rather than
tariff specialists, and apparently un-
der the quaint delusion that run
ming counter to the business inter-
ests of the country is somehow con-
sonant with religion and good NOR
ais.

THE PERSONAL.

J Names is news" is saying
around a newspaper office that runs
back to the time when the Eden
Enquirer" reported that "Mr and
. Mrs. Adam have left Garden Palace
to make their home elsewhere"
There is often feigned reluctance
on the part Of men and women TO
have their names in the newspaper.
Don't put my name in the paper"
is heard frequently by society edi-
tors and reporters from folk, who
often mean just the opposite. And
some of them will add:<"I am only
going away for day or so. 1t does
int amount to anything"
But it does, nonetheless. 1t will
interest all who know the individual,
or who have heard of him, no mat
ter how high or humble may be his
station. An item saying simply that
John Smith is visiting in Blank
ville," signifies much more than
those few words literally convey. 1t
tells in the first place that Mr.. Smith
is living, as dead people don't visit,
at least not in the columns of
newspaper. 1t also proves that Mr..
Smith has money enough to get out.
of town, or at any rate, that he is
strong enough to walk. And it
shows that he must have some in
terests in life, or why does he go
to Blankville.
1t may also answer such questions
as why Mrs. Smith is alone, or why
she has so much time to shop and
visit with friends. Or it may ex-
plain why, If Mrs., Smiths name
appeared in the item with her hus-
bands, the front door of the Smith
house remains closed for several
days, why the window shutters are
drawn and no smoke arises from the
chimneys Without the item in the
newspaper, these circumstances
could be analyzed as indicating that
the Smiths were dead in the house
having succumbed to heart failure,
asphyxiation, suicide pact or muir
der; or that they we're merely eccen-
tric.
Thus does the newspaper personal
clear mystery after mystery. 1t tells
a rather extensive and important
story considering It's apparent i'm
significance.-Topeka State Journal.

THE SINGLE SCHOOL BOARD.

The legislature has adopted law
consolidating all the boards of re-
gents of the state schools in one
board of three men who will, be paid
$500 year each. While there are
some objections to this plan and 1t
will cost more than the one formerly
followed the state has for several
years wanted to try it, believing that
1t will iron out some of the condi-
tions that have been criticised in
connection with the state schools.
If three men are selected who have
the broadmindedness to look after
the state schools of higher learning
with fairness and who are capable Of
thorough understanding of the edu-
cational needs of the state, they will
give Kansas great service. Il will
be well to try it out and Governor
Hodges, who has been a strong ad-
vocate of the plan may be depended
on to endeavor3to make 1t success.
1t is unfortunate for the best re-
suits in higher education that all
the state schools are not located in
one city and save much duplication,
but conditions are fixed and there
must be the best possible use of
them.

Another outbreak of Texas fever among the cattle in certain sections of Cochise county had induced Cover nor Hunt. acting upon the advice of the Arizona Live Stock Sanitary board. to issue a proclamation against that section. This proclamation was issued yesterday afternoon and placed in the hands of the state veterinarian for dis tribution throughout the state and into that portion of the state most directly affected by the fever. The full text of the instrument is as follows:
 ::Whereas. the Live Stock Sanitary board of this state. through the state veterinarian, has informed me that the range in the southeastern portion of Cochise county. Arizona, is in need of protection. from Texas fever, has re commended that the moving of live stock in and out of a certain area in Tested by Texas fever ticks in the county aforesaid shall be restricted. and has made formal application to me for the issuance of q proclamation de timing the proposed restricted Quaran-
