OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Will WIN.

The statements Of Ex-senator
Curtis and George A. Clark, VINO
was one Of the ruling spirits OF the
Republican league last year, that the
Republican party of Kansas is IN
line for a victory in 1914 are sus-
tanned by the opinions Of others Ia
miliar with conditions over the state.
The Progressive party organized
merely as the organ Of q few SELL
appointed bosses never had and mas
not now any excuse for being. In
avery election in the east It has ai-
ready lost more than half its fol-
lowing and the leaders in Kansas
have given 1t out that they VIII
abandon any fight In the east and
try TO win in the west. evidently
having no hope Of success except ID
some western communities. Thous-
ands Of Republicans voted for Roose-
welt because they liked him Dut
they did not join the Progressive
marty and they will be Republicans
next year. They gave their verdict
on Stubs and the congressman
who tried to force the Republican
electors off the Republican ticket IN
emphatic terms and perpetual office
seekers cannot fool them any more
next year than they did last year.
The truth is that the Progressive
party has not lived up to it's prom
ises. 1t has put to the front men
like Finn and Perkins and Medill
and taken their money for cam
paign representations of It. The
country is too we'll informed fOI
such q course to fool the people
more than once and today the Pro-
gressive party Is discredited. Prac-
tically every man who is bowling
for a Progressive ticket is q candi'
date for office7-and that is why be
is bowling. Even Senator Bristow
who was lined up with the party
last year ls so doubtful about the
party success that he refuses to
align himself with II at present.
The Progressive party may nomi-
nate q ticket but.it will, 60 the way
Of Populism and 0reenbAckism and
other boiling organizations Of the
past. for It Is q party Of bosses and
not Of real followers

tanned In the beet, according to a
Michigan sugar manufacturer. With
Cuban sugar at cents a pound the
cost Is much in favor of the tropi-

much difference this season, nor

The Abilene Reflector points with
ghoulish glee to the fact that our
old Armageddon comrade, T. o.

~ believe that the new tariff Will
lower the cost of living on some
schedules more than on others"
said Mr.. Bryan in an interview. "The
extent Of the reduction is difficult
to calculate in advance, because a
number Of factors enter into the
situation. The tendency of a fall
in prices is to increase the demand.
and an increase in the demand will,
to some extent, check the fall" In
other words. It is rather doubtful II
1t will decrease the cost Of living
and II It does the amount will be
SO small you won't notice it.

The Newton Kansan-Republican
says, 81 claim that along with the
granting Of full suffrage to women,
the meetings for men only should
be relegated to the scrap heap"
Which goes to show that its head is
level. We might add to that the
meetings for women only, especially
those at which some male delivers a
message to the sisters. If the meet
ing is for women only then the man
has no business there. There are
plenty of women in the world
abundantly competent to deliver the
message. -LeaYenworth Times. But
the Times overlooks the fact that a
collection is usually taken ct such
meetings and the man hates to see
real money go to a woman.

e. A business man often won
q ders why printers estimates

4 vary so much. The answer
& is that they do not. Let US
q explain. No specification
e you or anybody else ever
& made was complete. All the
4 estimates you ever received
e on a printing proposition
e differed on the thing you
& didn't specify-Quality. Each
& printer quoted you on his
e quality. Now listen! There
& are only two things you can
q specify with exactness on a
q printing order-paper and
z size. Every thing else is
& style. Style consists of de-
q sign, taste and workman
q ship. The kings bones and
4 muscles contain the same
4 elements as the pauper's,
q the only difference is person
& atty. The competitive esti-
4 mate is likely to confuse the
= buyer of printing. He does
e not realize that the wide var
4 iation in dozen bids on the
4 same job Is the most natural
4 thing in the world. Each es-
& innate merely represents
q one printers attitude toward
4 a thing not yet produced. II
= he should let the same Job to

q was ct the variation In the
