sioner of labor and industry in the

Here is bit Of philosophy from
the Leavenworth Post that applies
as we'll to Abilene: The man who
sells one hundred dollars worth Of
articles he has manufacturer or
products he has raised to parties
outside Of Leayenworth county and
invests the money he receives for
the same at home, Is a better citizen
than the man who spends one hum
dred dollars outside of the county,
for that money never comes back.
The man who brings money into the
county is going to build It up and
the man who takes money out Is
going to pun It down.

THE PR0GREssIvEs LOSING.
]. u. House OF the Topeka Capital
says: Two things with regard "a
the political situation in Kansas are
apparent 20 the casual observer. One
OF them is that the Progressive par
ty hasn't enlisted a single recruit
since election day. The other is that
good many OF those who we're off
the reservation last summer. are
back in the Republican party. The
drift is all one way and Il Is in the
direction OF the old homestead.
One reading the newspapers I'M
friendly to the meeting would gather
the impression that the standpat
leaders constituted the crowd in at
tendance. AS a matter of fact they
were a small minority OF II. The
writer has been an onlooker at
nearly every big political assembly
that has fore-gathered In Kansas In
the past ten years. He has known
practically all of the men who have
figured in politics in that time. He
didn't know one in ten OF the fell
lows who were at the harmony meet
ing. They were men new to poll
tical gatherings, apparently voters
from the small towns and country
districts who had not previously
taken a part In state politics. The
politicians nearly always can get to-
gether. The fact that the fellows
from the small towns and rural dis
tricts, where differences in politics
generate hate and breed personal
antagonisms, want to wipe of the
slate is the most hopeful sign OF
the meeting.
The meeting was featured by the
announcement of J. N. Dolley's ie-
tirement from the Republican party.
Considering the distance he had to
go, Mr.. Dolley is giving quite a
parade. He made public announce
ment of his retirement some six
weeks ago and repetition was I'M
necessary, since everybody heard
him the first time he said 1t. AS
a matter Of fact, Mr.. Dolley hasn't
been in the Republican party since
the break last summer. Several
members of the late Stubs ma
chine, however, were present. Joe
Longshort, who was "Br'er" Stubs
oil inspector, was participant.
Earl Akers, whom Stubs made
state treasurer, and who wants to
be reelected, was in line. The
only Republican state officer miss
ing from the assemblage was Lieu
tent Governor ingalls,. Harold Chase,
editor of the Capital, attended the
meeting and is inclined to think the
party will get together. Although |
Mr.. Chase followed Roosevelt and
Stubs into the wilderness last sum-
mer, he doesn't believe there is any
chance for a new party and frankly |
says so.
