CONGRESSIONAL FOLLY BY REQUEST

One of the Legislative reforms proposed in Him
ois by sober minded is the elimination Of re
quest" bills and resolutions These gratutous addi-
tions to the regular output harmless enough,
but they cost money that the state always has bet
for. Besides, is il the business of the leg
islature encourage vanity and even mild unacy.
If Illinois and the states generally need anti re
quest ordinances what shall say of congress?
A book the by request" by products of the
gressional mill would contribute the gayety of
nation doubt, but since congress is innocent
of humor, except of the unconscious kind, it cannot
be supposed encourage the request" business for
amusement purposes.
The latest request offering in congress is a re-
solution amendment the constitution

churches and religious organizations and proceeding

government dspossess said culprit of said wealth,

heirs be found said possessions shall escheat

The author of this amendment hides light under
a soap box. VIII not one wrongfully aspire

SOURCE OF PROSPERITY OF KANSAS

Kansas has S4,00O,0o0 bushels of wheat. The
yield is almost exactly double the biggest previous
Weld in the history of the state. At an average
price of IS cents a bushel that will net the farmers
of Kansas s12O 900 900 The Kansas farmers will
get twice as much money from their wheat TINS
wear as they averaged for the last five years
A goodly portion of their regular income is doupi-
ed in a year Think what the doubling OF salaries
and wages would to the population OF the
cities and YOU get an idea of what doubling the
wheat income means to Kansas. With all the
other crops in prime condition, promising more
than their average yield, the prosperity OF Kansas
is going to set a new mark. Mortgages are going
to be reduced, money put away in the bank for IN
s,rance against unforeseen events ana improve
nents made about the farms. Plumbing VIII De
installed in thousands of homes new lighting sys-
tenn will be introduced, better clothing ana furnl-
lure will be in demand, and automobiles and pianos
and talking machines will be called for. The pros
peritv of the farmer will filter through to the mer
chant and manufacturer and to their employees In
dustry and trade in every department VIII De
stimulated The money that the sun and the
rains have pulled of the ground will eventually
find it's way into the pockets Of the workers and
their families all this great southwestern
country.-Kansas City Star

More Voting Facilities

We suppose that since the telegraph and the
telephone were invented there was never time when
less known twenty-four hours after an election
than we now know of precisely what happened in
Arizona Tuesday. Yesterday morning ii seemed
reasonably certain that the whole democratic ticket
had been elected 1t only certain that the DR.,
amendment had been adopted, and it only prob
able thar of certain Of the other propositions sub
mtted the people. some had been adopted and
others rejected
Hitherto when election returns have been de-
laSrd they have been those of remote localities
which, unless the very close, would not
affect the general result In this case, the
Iaint is against polling places right under the
OF the newspapers and the telegraph offices
The primary Of delay is the long ballot
which it takes long time to mark and longer
time to count Voting facilities should be adjusted
t. the ballot. There should be them,
that not than 300 voters would be received

that there must be voting place for every $50

cally untriendly to farmers. The war has not only
removed the competition of Canadian agricultural
products, but has produced unnatural demand for
our products, such wheat, meat, wool, horses

not fixed such prices the producers would expect
