THE MATTER WITH KANSAS

A recent issue of The Gospel
Plea, a weekly publication, issued
by the colored people at Ed
wards, Mississippi, is a strong
article under the caption, Some
things the Matter With Kans-
as" from which we gather some
interesting facts. Kansas has
more than 200 million dollars on
deposit in banks, $119.O0 for
every man woman and child in
the state. Last year 1926 million
dollars worth of farm products
were produced. Of her los coun-
ties, 81 have no insane, sd
have no feeble minded, 90 coun-
ties no Undertakes. SO county
poor houses are empty. Recently
the jails in 53 counties were
empty, and sixty five counties
had no prisoners in the peniten-
tiary.
A few years ago 40 per cent
of the population were illiterate.
now only 2per cent, which is
two-thirds lower than Massachu-
sets, including Boston. Within
the last twenty years "unpro-
ductive" Kansas soil has pro-
duced corn and wheat worth
over 2 and half billion dollars,
and taught the nation the
worth of alfalfa. Other interest
ing facts and figures are given
in explanation of 1.-THE matter"
in Kansas. "The matter" saws
the article, is found in the amen
dment to the constitution, pass
ed in 1881, which reads: 1.-The
manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors shall be forever
prohibited in the state" So
there you are. Prohibition may
not prohibit the sale of liquor
entirely, but it does prohibit"
number of other great evils
and wastes.

A DISTINCTION WITHOUT
A DIFFERENCE

Mr.. E. Fl. Witten, Progressive
candidate for the legislature
from Tazewell and Buchanan
counties, in the last issue of his
paper, the Sandy Valley News,
says: Hon. John A. Looney, who
is a candidate for the legislature,
be ongs to the Taft wing of the
Republican party, while believe
in the square deal as taught by
Theodore Roosevelt" Both the
Roosevelt and Taft wings are
high Protectionists, and the
above would seem to be a dis
tlnction without a difference.
What are the real points of
difference between these two
candidates? Both are high Pro-
tectionists. Both are pledged to
work on the land title question.
Are they both solid on the Ena-
bling act?
AS Mr.. Witten has kindly and
generously proffered the columns
of his paper to Mr.. Looney for a
mouth piece through which to
speak, and a trumpet through
which to holler, there is no eX
cuse whatever now why the
people should not be posted.

and the creak and groan of the
old sorghum mill falls upon his
ear. He may, and believes he
will. He can feel il coming on
now. In the meantime the Daily
Times and an anxious public
must wait. And by-the-way,
some time ago the present editor
of the Daily Times wrote for
this paper dissertation on fried
chicken, which was prounounc-
ed by good judges, "a classic. "
AS the fried chicken season has
passed perhaps he would disser-
tate on "The Turkey of Tazewell
as seen on Thanksgiving Day."
First, how to obtain the turkey,
second, how to hold him so as to
prevent him slapping your brains
out with his wings when you
take him to the block, and other
interesting points etc. This is a
seasonable subject.

Worth More Than a Billion.

Representative Underwood's
final speech on the subject of
the tariff bill that will bear his
name contained many highly in
teresting statements.
1t is his belief that directly
and indirectly the law will re-
lieve the people of taxes for
government and monopoly aggre-
eating a billion year.
1t is his contention that with
the exception of the Walker
tariff the new act is less burden
some than any other similar
measure in force for seventy-five
years.
1t is stated by him that COM
merce and industry have already
adjusted themselves to the new
conditions, and it is his most
confident prediction that the
country is about to enter upon
an era unprecedented prosperity.
These happy auguries are
highly agreeable, and all will
hope that they may prove true.
lime alone will tell the story.
But when he said that the
Democratic party had kept faith
with the people and redeemed
every pledge relative to tax re-
duction he proclaimed a fact
without conjecture prophecy.
Party responsibility and good
faith are worth more to the
American people than billion a

TOWN COUNCIL AND THE
DITCH

The town council at its last
meeting, laid the levy for the
two years, and voted an increase
of 80 1-3 per cent on the water
tax. 1t will be necessary to raise
more money, they say, from the
water rent in order to carry out
the new scheme and plans of the
council.
Water and Sewerage" is the
warcry. The citizens of the town
have the promise that nothing
shall be permitted to come in
ahead of this water project and
sewerage. In the meantime
sewer pipes running into the
town branch are being multiple
ed.

Gil to inform the citizens on the
subject. Bathrooms in a number
of homes would have been put

Should a Girl Work if She Does
Not Need Money?

Mrs. Belmont, whose theories
on the subject of woman's place
in the world are supported by
very sincere practices in an
article in the Southern Woman's
Magazine. in answer to the
question as to whether or not a
young girl should work who does
not need the money, takes a
very positive position on the
affirmative side. "Those who
can read the signs of the times"
she says, "know this is woman
era. She must not wait for man
or family to fill voids around her,
but must create her own useful
life. Let her enter into the
worlds competition. She must
forget sex and find interest in
every situation. A gratified
ambition is a lasting, tangible
thing. The pleasure of work
with a great aim to be attained
never pals"
In the same discussion, Eujene
BrleuX is quoted on the other
side. He says: 4 believe it is
bad for the race for women to
work outside the home unless
it is absolutely necessary. When
it is a case of starvation or work.
