WOULD PUT THIS COUNTY
IN nth JUDICIAL DISTRICT

A reapportionment bilr introduced
Saturday in the Kansas senate by
Senator Troutman of Shawnee and
passed, would change the number of
the judicial district in which Dick
inson county is included, the eighth,
and put this county in the seven
teenth along with Saline, Ottawa,
Lincoln and Morris counties. The
eighth district in which this county
now is includes also Geary, Morris
and Marion counties, the total pop
ulation of the district being 69,075.
Under the Troutman bill, on which
the author has been working for
three weeks, the thfrty-four districts
Of the state would be cut to twenty
four. The bill was passed by the
senate, "a to A. IT'S object, is the saw
ing Of $1OO,00 a year to the state.
At the same time with the reap
portionment bill the committee pre-
sented to the senate a measure pro-
viding for the assignment of judges
by the supreme court to try cases
in districts other than their own for
the purpose of relieving overloaded
dockets. Under such law a judge
would 90 from his own district into
any other to which he was sent by
order of the supreme court and hold
court until the overburdened docket
was relieved.

WHEN WAR ENDS

Just as the armchair mflitarist is
far more bloodthirsty than the act
ual soldier, It Is the irresponsible
author who breaches a protracted
economic feud, while real econo-
mists like Prof. A. C. PigOu are
counselling moderation. Mr.. H. q.
Wells declaration that the conflict
should be followed by a permanent
commercial war against Germany.
the allies combining in a tariff
union aimed at German goods, is the
fullest illustration of Kipling's wis
dom in counselling literary men to
abstain from war topics. French and
Belgian factories I. are wrecked,
Wells argues; If the contest ends
soon. Germany can for that reason
"sail in at once to economic victory
and to the accumulation of fresh
wealth and energy for another
var" The one safeguard is a trade
combination to hamper and ruin
her. How futile peace under such
circumstances would be was point
ed out some weeks ago, In quite a

eloquent appeal for a statement of
honorable and not penal terms to
be offered Germany. rs 1t not evil
dent that the imposition Of a penal
peace cannot cure her OF the mad
ness by which we suppose her to

MADE.IN.ROsTON HIsToRY

The Wall Street Business Mems
association Is shocked to learn how
revolutionary records have been
perverted to the discredit OF New
York. The revolutionary war, II in
sists, was not inaugurated, personal
iy conducted and brought to tri-
umphant conclusion by Massachu-
sets alone. The general impression
to that effect arises from the fact
that history-writing has been mo-
nopolized by Boston authors, whose
local patriotism or prejudice led
them to play up Boston and play
down New York. Thus the youth OF
the land has got its facts wrong
and its historical perspective twisted
The Wall street men have a spe-
cial grudge against Bancroft, Who
they argue, must surely have known
that the battle OF Golden Hill ante
dated the Boston massacre, about
which Boston has Dragged extern
siyely in school histories, mono
graphs, brochures. guide books and
brass tablets. And Bancroft ought to
have known that the earliest plans
for the American Union were laid
lin the old Merchants Coffee House
in New York on May 90, 1774; also
that the American revolt against the
British tax on tea was signalized by
a New York tea party" weeks be-
fore Boston woke up and followed
its example. Fiske, they complain,
is likewise culpable in having help
ed to spread the idea that revolu-
tionary history revolved about the
Hub. and lesser writer's have perpet-
uated the deception, until now a
misled generation even believes the
ancient Boston Islander that named
New York a city of Tories and
Treason"
It's a truly deplorable situation.
But what can be done about 1t? A
city. like an individual, usually gets
what It goes after. Boston, seeking
historical prestige, has won 1t; New
York, ignoring the glory OF the
printed page and seeking financial
supremacy, has succeeded likewise.
It's pretty late in the day to change
the nations traditions Of fits past;
still, maybe II q few of the big Wall
street bankers would stop their
money-grubbing and go to history
writing, future generations-of New
Workers., at least-might do justice
to New York's alleged past.

ROADS IN WORST CONDITION.
FOR TEN YEARS OR MORE

The roads OF the county are now
In worse condition than they have
been for ten years or more. Con-
tinued snow and rain have follow
ed In succession until the roads
seemingly have no bottom. What
wheat has been brought to town
nowadays is drawn by six and eight
horse teams and the progress is
slow at that. People living some
distance from town have great diff
ficulty in reaching Abilene.
The fields are now thoroughly
soaked, ground and subsoil, and
wheat prospects were never better.
Last week of snow and rain was
general over the entire state and
the western third Of Kansas re-
ceived much needed moisture.
The abundant moisture which has
fallen here makes good corn pros
poets. Wheat fields in this section
now are green.

TAX TITLE DISCUSSIONS
KEEP COMMISSIONERS BUSY

Tax title difficulties have en-
crossed considerable attention OF
the county commissioners in the
two days they have been here for
their monthly meeting. Last fall
some Ottawa men bought up nifty
or more tax titles, and either IN
person or by letter wrote to the
present occupants of the real estate
for which the Ottawa men bought
titles, and made offer of settlement.
The present laws of Kansas offer a
tempting opportunity to engage in
tax title buying remuneratfvely. In
MANY cases the occupants of the
real estate, ignorant of the fact that
their titles were not clear, settled
with, the title buyers rather than
incur litigation. In some OF the
cases, however, it was found that
clerical errors had been made and
the owners of the land had their tax
receipts to show that their titles
were entirely regular. These re-
ceipts were presented to the com-
the errors rectified, and
a number of Dickinson county men
will now rest easy. In several cases
the property now in question has q
high value.

WHEAT

Wheat has advanced because
there has been a shortage In the
consuming markets OF the world
The European markets are not accu-
mulating stocks, because they have
not been able to buy fast enough
Australasia's crop was poor one'
and since the middle of November
there have been no shipments from
that source. Russia has plenty OF
wheat. but cannot get It to market.
In the present season but $4,000
bushels of wheat have come from
Russia. Two years ago at this time
Russia had shipped 17S,OOO,OOO
bushels. Since the first OF August
about a quarter OF a million bushels
have come from the Danubian ports
as compared with 100000 BUSH
els last year. Between August l.
1914, and January 20. 1915, Argen-
tina shipped less than 100000
bushels. In the same period two
years ago 1t shipped 100000
bushels.
With a pronounced decrease In
exports from India, North America
became the only available source OF
supply. And Notwithstanding Europe
has brought from this continent at
an unprecedented rate, the total
world exports from August 1, 1914
to February 10 were only about 10
per cent of those of the same per-
iod in the preceding year. Not
speculation" but demand for food
advanced the price of wheat.

WIFE'S PERSONAL PROPERTY
AS EXEMPT AS HUSBANDS

In affirming a case appealed from
Saline county, the supreme court
ruled that the personal property of
the wife is as exempt from seizure
for, the Joint debts of husband and
wife as though the property were
in the name of the husband. In this
case it was claimed by the creditors
Of the husband and wife that while
the husband, under the Kansas law
as head of the family, was exempt
to the amount of $500 worth Of
personal property, the fact that the
wife was the owner of the property
removed this exemption. The SUI
preme court denied this contention.
The decision is of especial interest
in view of the efforts of the women
Of Kansas to secure q law for equal
property rights.
Mrs. Irene E. Foster is the pro-
.prietor of a hotel at Gypsum City,
which she conducts and manages in
her own name. The husband and
their two children live with her in
her hotel. The household fcrniture
used in the hotel is the property Of
the wife and does not exceed $500
in value. In an action for debt
against both husband and wife the
household property used in the
hotel was attached. The argument
of the creditors was to the effect
that as Mr.. Foster was the head Of
the family and the property claim
ed as exempt did not belong to him,
the attachment should have been
sustained by the lower court. Both

WHAT is A KILOwATT?

A Tennessee editor has gone to
some pains to explain to his read
ers what a kilowatt is and as cleo
trio light bills will be due in few
days we pass the information along
for what it is worth:
First, multiply the current by
the conscience of the proprietor of
the electric light plant; divide this
by the meter on the wall and add
whatever you can't multiply. The
answer will come in dollars and
cents. Just divide these by the price
you pay per kilowatt and. multiply
again to find out what kilOwatt is.
1t is something you can fRel, but
can't see; something that. you pay
for according to what someone tells
you who doesn't know what he is
talking about, and he proves 1t by
the meter that runs by guess and ny
thunder and is attached to a wall
by a hired man with machine grease
on his nose. You know Just how
many kilowatts you have had, just
what they cost you apiece but you
don't know what they are, what they
look like, who made them, or what
shape they are"

SOUNDING THE CALL

Almost coincident with the Off
cial announcement that the admins
.tration does not recognize any harm
done by the tariff to business, and
that there will be NO tariff relief SO
long as the present administration
remains in power, there comes a
call for action from New York and
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania house OF repre-
,sentatives has just passed a resolu-
ton calling upon congress to repeal
the present Democratic tariff act,
and attributing to this legislation
the business and Industrial hard
ships which have thrown hundreds
of thousands of men and women out
Of employment. 1t is proposed that
the legislatures Of other industrial
states shall take similar action.
In New York the Republican club,
which is one Of the largest political
organizations, has adopted the fol-
lowing T0SOIuLlOHs
I'VE are uncompromisingly in IA
vor of the American system OF pro-
lection, and we protest against its
destruction by the existing tariff
law. This law serves the interests Of
foreign nations; we support the in
terests of the United States OF
America. We accept the issue thus
made and we confidently appeal to
the people for their judgment. The
protective system must be restored
and maintained It's abandonment
has always been followed by general
disaster to all interests. We de-
nounce the existing law as destruc-
tive to general business, to labor,
and to the farming interests of the
country. We heartily indorse the
patriotic efforts of Republican Unit
ed States senators and representa-
tives in congress looking toward a
repeal Of the existing low tariff law
and the enactment Of protective
tariff that shall restore to American
labor and industry their full rights
in the American market"
BY standing pat on the existing
tariff law the Democrats have made
the tariff issue inevitable in the
next campaign. While 1t is true that
the stopIprage Of some of the imports,
due 'to the European war, has been
equivalent to protective tariff, ex-
cept In the raising Of revenue, the
greater danger of the present low
tariff win be encountered after the
present war Is over.
If Industries have been harmed by
the tariff under present conditions,
what may be expected when the war
ends and millions Of workers now
on the field Of battle Return to the
mills and factories to work at wages
that win be lower than ever before
iii the history of Europe? They will
Be wiling to work for anything. The
United States, under the present
tariff, would have no protection
against cheap labor competition.
No wonder the call to arms is be-
ing sounded BY the Republicans.

AMERICA FEEDING THE WORLD

In seven months exports OF food
from the United States almost ex-
actly doubled when compared with
similar exports in the preceding
year. The gain in money was $685.
900, 900. American food goes 10
take the place OF food which Euro
pean soldiers ought to be producing
but are not.
This is one Of the big bills which
war inflicts upon the nations. With
millions OF men who otherwise would
be breadwinners turned suddenly
into destroyers and consumers,
peaceful America is called upon to
supply the inevitable deficit or all
the people OF the earth, the ones
to profit most by this war are our
farmers for whose products there
has been created this abnormal de-
mand.
American iron and steel produc-
ers are not so fortunate. In the cal
endar year 1914 exports OF their
output fell just about third, or
nearly $100.000.000, compared
with 1918. 1t is a curious fact that
when industries are partially para
lyzed at home, they seem unable TO
keep up their export trade.
Getting new foreign markets for
their products is one Of the things
which big business can do far more
readily than little business. The
fact furnishes one of the most pow
erful reasons for a permanent ces-
sation OF the bullying tactics which
have SO disconnected large indus
tries in the United Statea-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

the lower cocrt and the supreme
court held that the wife's property
was as exempt as though it belong
ed to the husband. The supreme
court based its verdict upon this
reasoning:
"If family property not belonging
to the person occupying the position
of head of the family could be
seized and sold, the means of keep
ing the family intact would be ds-
stroyed and the purpose of the leg
fslature in creating the exemption
