HK'LL GET ALONG SOMRHeW.
Chief Asset in BuSiu eSs Of CeuA-
ty Newspaper Is Thanks.

49,
In a recent article commenting on
the efforts of various organizations
to secure free publicity an Illinois
editor made the statement that it
takes money to run newspaper.
Many other editors are laboring un-
der similar delusion and for the
benefit of these Thomas w Mayo,
publisher of The Record, st Anne, Ill,
pens the following:
1t takes money to run newspa-
per? What an exaggeration! What
a whorper! 1t doesn't take any mon
ey to run a newspaper. 1t is not
business venture. 1t is charitable
institution, a begging concern. The
newspaper is a child of the air,
creature Of a dream. 1t can go on
and on when any other concern would
be in the hands of the receiver and
wound up with cobwebS in the win
dOwS.
1t takes wind to run a newspa-
per; it takes gall to rLn a newspaper.
1t takes scintillating, acrobatic imag-
ination, half a dozen white shirts and
railroad pass to run a newspaper.
But money, heavens to Betsey and
six hands around, whoever needed
money to conduct newspaper? Kind
words are the medium of exchange
that do the business for the editor
kind words and church social tickets.
When you see an editor with money
watch him. He'll be paying his bills
and disgracing his profession. Never
give money to an editor. Make him
trade it out. He likes swap.
Then when you die, after you
have stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little
Jim Crow paper. be sure that you
have your wife send in for three ex-
ira copies by one Of your weeping
children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to neglect to send
the editor fifteen cents. 1t would
overwhelm him. Money is a cor
rupting thing. The editor knows it
well, and what he wants is your
heartfelt thanks; then he can thank
the printers and they can thank the
grocers and so on. Give your job
work to a travelling man and then
ask for half rates for church notices.
Get your lodge letter heads and sta
tionery printed out of town and then
flood the editor with beautiful
thoughts in resolutions Of respect
and cards of thanks. They make
such spicy reading, and you are so
proud of your local paper when you
pick it up filled with these glowing
mortuary articles.
But money scorn the filthy
thing. Don't let the pure, innocent
editor know " anything about it. Keep
that for sordid trades people who
charge for their wares. The editor
gives his bounty away. The Lord
loves a cheerful giver." He takes
care of the editor. Don't worry
about the editor. He has charter
from the State to act as door mat
for the community. He will get out
the paper somehow, and stand up
for the town and whoop it up for
you when you run for office. Don't
worry about the editor, he'll get on.
The Lord knows how-but somehow.

FREE WOOL FIGHT.
1t Is Opened by Warren Speaking in
Opposition.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The free
wool fight in the senate opened today
with Senator Warren of Wyoming
leading the onslaught against the tar
iff bill. Free wool he described as
'uncalled for, cruel and unwise" pre-
dicted ruin for wool growers and big
prices for mutton. Ante-election
promises of the president and Demo-
crat party, he said had been repu-
dated.
Responding to a recent resolution
by Senator Sutherland Secretary Nc
Adoo estimated that importers hav-
ing merchandise in American ware
houses under bond awaiting the new
tariff rates would save about $10,-
100000.
A compromise on one paragraph of
the wool bill is expected after the
bill has passed the senate. 1t would
increase duty on wool tops from to
10 per cent ad valorem. The house
made the rate fifteen but the senate
committee and caucus reduced it to 5.
The senate confereeS are expected to
agree to 10. No change in raw wool
or any of the other rates on wool
is expected.

BANKERS To PROTEST
Meet to Formulate Objections to Glass
Currency Bill.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-More than 200
bankers, delegates from clearing
house and banking associations assem-
bled here today to voice their objec-
tions to certain sections of the Glass
Owen currency bill, now before con-
gresS and make suggestions for a law
which they hope will bring about an
Improvement in the banking system of
the country.
The conference was called by the
currency commission of the American
Bankers association. Its purpose as
explained by Frederick E. Farnsworth
of New York, secretary of the organ
ization is to aid the administration in
effecting good currency legislation.
Arrangements were made for three
sessions today and it is the hope of the
members of the commission that by
tomorrow night recommendations for
amendments to the Glass-Owen meas
ure will have been agreed upon which
will make it satisfactory to a great
majority of the financiers of the coun-
try.
There are four fundamental fea-
lures of the bill to which the bankers
of the country are almost unanimously
opposed said Mr.. Farnsworth. "They
are the government control provision,
the reserve feature, the portion refer
ing to note issue by the government
and the stipulation for the refunding
of the two per cent bonds. The ideas
of the association bankers on those
scores are we'll known and it is prob
able that their action will take the
form of resolutions protesting against
the objectionable features and suggest
ing amendments
No formal program has been pre-
pared but general discussion will fol-
low an address by A. Barton Hepburn
of New York, chairman of the currency
commission, which is expected to be
the keynote of the conference.

Citizens VIII Forget Troubles
in Six Months.
is IN GOOD CONDITION
No Fear for Future Prosperity,
Says COburn.
Pessimism Is Only Short Lived
in Kansas.

According to figures compiled today
by the state tax commission and the
board of agriculture the drought in
Kansas and it's effects have been ex-
aggerated. Only corn. says the report,
was harmed and there is a bumper
wheat output, 43 per cent more than
any other state, with a million acres
of alfalfa
Kansas millers have reported to f.
D. Coburn, secretary of agriculture,
that this years wheat is the best that
ever came to mill, the berry being
round and full and hard, made so by
the dry weather and the warm sun of
the last week of ripening.
Personal discomfort is largely re
sponsible,' continues the report, for
the respondent feeling now prevalent
in some parts of Kansas. Six months
from now the present experiences will
be forgotten.
Because of the shortage in parts
of the crops some citizens will fail
to make gains and doubtless others
Will lose to some extent but on the
whole there will not be much lasting
hurt. The harvest of small grains has
been great; the field potato crop good;
garden truck generally good; fruit
crop fairly so and when the rains come
as in the nature of things they soon

ing will grow in abundance.
State Able to Stand Loss.
1.-THE early years of the '90s-especial-
ly 94-were far worse in baa results
than is now possible the heat and dry
ness of this season may be second only
to that of IA; but in how much bet
ter condition is the state now to re-
coup losses than in the years suggest
ed. The recuperative power of Kan
sas is simply wonderful. The bad eff
fects of the heat and drouth of this
year will speck only by the size of
pin point the white map of the states
prosperity.
The assessment of personal property
in this state this year exceeds by $45,-
1877. .947 the assessment of last year. The
taxable wealth of the state this year
as follows:
Farm lands 81, ,366, sos, ,236.
"City real estate, $445, 5,6O7,063.
Personal property, 1862, 2,699,93S.
Public service corporation prop
erty, S436,148,S55.
Total, $2,S1O,S61,O9
IF the population of 1912 be TAX
en-, G,669,296) and divided into the
total value just given the per capita
assessed wealth of the state appears
as $1,6S4.
kansas is now largely self con-
tanned. The taxable list of individual
ly owned mortgages of 1907 was not
TO exceed SlS, ,o9Z IN values. IN
1913 the aggregate of individually
owned mortgages listed for taxation
is S67,3OO,369. The municipal bonds
OF Kansas seek no market abroad, be-
ing eagerly seized by home investors.
Surely in the face of this showing
one must be very pessimistic to fret
about there being any permanent bad
results from shortage in a few of this
years crops. These Visitations come
now and then to all peoples and Kan
sas must expect an occasional share,
but all in all there is no equal area
on the footstool so continuously pros
perOuS."

PLAN TO KILL GAYNOR
Deadly Charge of Dynamite Planted
Near His Office.

New York, Aug. ga deadly charge
of dynamite, three whole ten-inch
sticks and two halves with fuse and
detonator, was discovered near Mayor
Gaynor's office windows in the city
hall. The bureau of combustibles
found that the explosive was 40 per
cent dynamite, the regulation blasting
proportion, and the amount found
would. if exploded have wrecked the
city hall.
The mayor was in his office when the
dynamite was discovered by a citizen
passing through City Hall park. Mr..
Gaynor evinced little interest when
told of the explosives proximity and
remained apparently undisturbed at his
desk while police officers hurriedly
drew Gordon about the dynamite to
keep back an excited crowd
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would make
no statement regarding the possible
connection between any previous threat
by mail and the dynamite. It is just
three years ago this month that he was
shot in the neck by a so-called crank
and severely wounded.
The dynamite lay on the back of
basement door in a concrete moat or
areaway, within sixty feet of the may
or's window. a partly burned four
inch fuse made of gunpowder tightly
rolled in a paper cylinder, led to a de-
tonating cap on one of the half sticks
of dynamite.
The bureau of combustibles experts
state the only thing that prevented
disastrous explosion was the presence
of a strip of cotton wound so tightly
about the base of the fuse that a spark
could not reach the detonator. An edge
of one dynamite stick was slightly
scorched.

HODGES MAKES SPEECH
The Governor CongratuIates Mis-
sourians on Good Roads Work

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. 22.-''I come as a
representative of your sister state of
Kansas to congratulate Missouri on the
81 lendid good roads history it has writ
ten. 1t was splendid idea and Missouri
is to be felcltated having a governor
to initiate such a splendid project" said
Governor Hodges. of Kansas, in a speech
given here.
Whatever imaginary barriers may
have existed between Kansas and Mis-
souri, were swept away. We are one in
the common purpose of improving our
roads. Kansas wants to take lessons from
Missouri if Missouri has any to teach.
And Kansas is willing to show Missouri
even how to build roads. But together
we should stand shoulder to shoulder in
the campaign for federal aid for our
roads.
Governor Hodges asserted that the ma
tionaI government might well afford to
cut down its appropriations for the army
and navy and spend the money on ma
tional roads.
The money the government spent to
send the fleet around the world few
years ago" he said. would have built a
great highway from New York to San
Francisco and been an everlasting monu-
ment to our civilization and progress.

they must work for federal aid in road

BLOCKED BY Mann.
House Denies Wilson Permission to
Accept a Gift.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Passage of a
senate resolution authorizing President
Wilson to accept a bust of William
Pitt, the gift from American women
in England, was blocked in the house
today by Republican Leader Mann be-
cause it specified the bust should pe
placed in the White House.
Mr.. Mann declared the White House
already was crowded and insisted that
there was room in the Smithsonian
institution or other government build
ings. He proclaimed a profound ad-
miration for Pitt but insisted on his
cbjection. Presiden Wilson recentlv
asked congress for authority to accept
the gift. Many constitutional lawyers
declare it was not necessary.
