have been taken care of.
Probably the cause of Mr.. Scott's
disappointment was due to the fact
that Congressman Hill did not have
altogether the say as to who should
have all the political jobs 10 be
given out II is well known that
these matters have 10 go through
many hands before the matter is
finally settled.
II has been but a short time ago
when the Citizen was appealing u
the voters of this district to return
the Republican nominee on the
ground that lie had served two
years and had just become aequaini-
ed and had just reached the point
where he would be of valuable in
f;uence in the interests Of the people
OF the district. If the fact that il
was good for the Republican candi-
date would it not be just as well
for the Democratic Candidate, Con-
gresham Hin?
There is not 4 man in Congress
today who has made a better or
cleaner record than Congressman
Hill When matters affecting la
boris interests were at stake Con-
gresham Hill has always been
found fighting for what was truly

TO
THE EDITOR

The question has been frequently
asked recently: why should the
laboring man vote the Democratic
ticket"
There are many good sound logi-
cal reasons.
1t was President Woodrow Wilson
who selected for his cabinet 4 mem
Der of organized labor in his selec-
ton of man to head the Depart
ment of Labor.
Organized labor has advocated
the Merchant Marine. The Re1ub-
l:ean party has always fought and
defeated this measure. but the fact
that at this time when all the Euro
pean nations are at war the need Ct
an American Merchant Marine ha.
proven its usefulness. Many mill
lions OF dollars are tied up becaus,
of the fact that this country ha.
10 means of transportation.
This measure is soon to be
orcr-ght before the House of Con
gress and the public has every req
son to believe that this measure viii
become an assured fact.
But TO bring the matters close
homo.
The Evening Citizen has been
throwing one fit after another for
the past week because OF the fact
that Sam Scott. a Union miner was
not appointed to the position OF
Deputy United States Marshal.
1t is to be regretted that Mr..
Scott was not successful in landing
this political plum. The writer

Democratic party has done what lit.
tie while they have been in office.
We have been promised at tho
next session of the legislature the
Uniform School Book Bill. This
bill has been advocated by organized
labor for the past twelve years and
has always met defeat at thu hands
OF the Republicans. 1t means

amounting to over 100000 per

Why should the working man vote

clapping down the lid and rivit-

Something Is The Matter
With Kansas

a few days ago when the
whole country was worrying
about the unprecedented heat
and drought in the West, the
governor of Kansas issued a
public statement saying he hop
ed no one would waste pity on
the people OF his state.
He told the world they were
taking the medicine nature at
some time or other deals out in
some way or other to every COM
munity and that no people were
so we'll prepared to meet situa-
ton.
with more than S200,0O0,OO0
on deposit in our state and ma
tional banks, we could weather
a worse storm than this without
hardship" he said.
An when you stop to think
that this money, divided equally
among the men, women, children
and babies of Kansas. would give
each of them S118 in cash, not to
mention the tidy sum of 1854
each is credited with as his or
her share of the states assessed
wealth, you can see the force of
the argument.
AS a matter of fact, Kansas,
which last year produced $685.
100000 worth of farm products:
can better afford such roasting
and drying up than any other
state in the Union, for her capita
wealth is larger than that of any
other state.
She can better afford this or
any brand of calamity, for her
people are not constantly paying
out huge sums for the care and
keep of criminals, paupers, in
sane and feeble minded.
In eighty-seven of her 106
counties there are no insane. In
ifty-four of this number there
are no feeble minded. Ninety.
six counties have no ineb rates,
and in the other nine they're as
scarce as hens teeth. Twenty
eight country poorhOuses are as
empty as a last years locust
shell, and most of these have
been so far the best part of a
decade.
The pauper population of the
state falls little short of 600.
That is one pauper for each g.
900 of the kind making a living,
and a good one-the kind that
now own S255,00O,OOO worth of
live stock and in the last twelve
months have added more than
lS45, 100000 to their taxable per.
sonal property.
| At one time not long ago the
the jails in fifty-three counties
lwere empty and sixty-fve coun
tiles were on the roll as having
no prisoners serving sentence in
