WANT COUNTY ROAD.

A number OF the south siders callet
on the county commissioners last
week with the request that county
road be established from Great Bend
south to the county line, but the re-
quest was denied by the commission
ers. Most of those making the re-
quest were auto owners and they stat
ed that inasmrcn as they had to pay
an additional tax they wanted to get
the benefit Of the same on their road
but the commissioners decided that Il
this idea was followed out it would
mean the establishment Of a county
road on every section line through
out the county as one section Of the
county should have equal rights in
the matter with the others. 1t is es-
timated that the new tax will bring
into the ad fluid Of the county
about $4,000, but this cannot be used
in building new roads but in main
tanning those alteady established, but
at that nJ"a Of the money will be
available for some months yet. The
chances are that the first road to
be designated as a county road will
be the one between Great Bend and
RllinWood and Pawnee Rock.

MRS. HULME DEAD.

The many friends Of Mrs. G. H.
Hume were greatly shocked last Sat-
urday morning at the news that she
had died at her home in this city
early that morning, death being due
to heart trouble, with which she had
been a sufferer for many years. For
several weeks past she had not been
feeling as well as usual, but not even
the members Of the family were
aware that her condition was such
as to be considered serious. The
evening before her death she had not
been feeling any worse than usual
and death came while she slept.
Mrs. Hume was one of the best
known and most highly respected wo-
ment Of the community, having been
a resident of this city since an early
day. She was a good wife and mo-
Their and a neighbor and friend well
worthy of acquaintance and in her
sudden death the family have the
sincere sympathy Of the entire COM
munity. Besides her husband she
leaves to mourn her death two daugh'
tiers, Mrs. George Green and Miss
Vivian Hume, and three sons, James
and Charles, of this city, and Ray
who lives on a farm a few miles from
town.
Funeral services were held at the
family home Monday afternoon at z
O'Clock aId interment made in the
Great Bend cemetery.

PAYNE.ALDRIcH 1909
WILsoN.UNDERWooD 1918

Tariff revision in the public inter-
est, instead of in the interest OF the
beneficiaries, is a great moral victory
The essential evil in the farcical
revision of 1909 was this: 1t pretend
ed to be a revision in behalf OF the
whole people; it was actually a re-
vision controlled by the men who
sought governmental favors. 1t as
sumed to be a square deal; in real
ity it was the essence Of special priv
ilege.
The control of government by one
class in its own interest is essential
ly immoral, for such a condition in
wolves eventual social collapse.
The difference between the revis-
ion countenanced by Mr.. Taft and
that which Mr.. Wilson is trying to
get is profound. The purpose of one
was socially destructive, for it repre-
scented the dominance Of privileged in
terests. The purpose of the other is
socially constructive, for it represents
the general welfare.
The spirit of the Wilson-Underwood
Bill is absolutely irreconcilable with
the spirit that produced the Payne
Aldrich measure. The one leads to
social progress. The other has been
responsible for the decentralization OF
government and for a long train OF
ills. The one calls for social and in
dustrial justice. The other looks to
the government to favor a powerful
class, to recognize campaign conthbu
tons with privileges at the expense
of the whole people, to- tax the con-
sumers of the nation to build up the
fortunes of men with political pull.
The salvation of this country in the
long run must depend on the suprem'
acy of justice and the regard for the
common good.

RUSH AND BARTON
FURNISH HEROES OF
PENITENTiARY- FIRE.


Commenting upon her0ism display
ed by inmates Of the state prison
during the fire last Saturday, the To
peka Capital says in part:
Over in the hospital ward this af-
ternoon a man, swathed in bandages
from head to foot, reclined in an in
valid's chair. He was staring out Of
the barred windows at the smoking
ruins Of the Irvine factory. Tears ran
down into the bandages over his face.
He was F. T. Appleton, life-termer fol

"The smoking mass Of ruins was
my home" sobbed Appleton. Every
