other day and hied himself to the Pa

w. E. Davis, state auditor, will go to
Minnesota with Charles Sessions, sec
rotary to the governor, some time next
month for a short vacation. Members
of the supreme court are cleaning up
the docket for their August vacations.
1t has been announced from the utili-

set for hearing in August, as the three
members of the commission will take
their vacations that month Governor

be delivered on time. he must finish
the job, if possible, by August Is.
There are five different volumes to be
printed. The schools will need 80, 900
more Kansas histories
State publication of text books has
its charms, and Smith approves of the
idea He wants to print all the books
possible. But he just came on the
job last week, and is ready to admit,
after adding up the jobs along school
book lines alone, that the middle of
August looks very much like the day
after tomorrow. Every effort will be
made. Smith said recently. to get all

PROMISES NOT KEPT
Figures Show Failure of Demo-
cratic Policies
Removal Of Tariff Duties Has Been
the Cause Of Unemployment and
Has Resulted in Increasing
the Cost Of Living.

Destroy the protective tariff and
the high cost of living will be re-
duced automatically" This was the
principal issue. virtually the only is
sue. on which the Democratic party
sought return to power in 1912. It
was slogan that appealed to the
crowds The people of the country
were enjoying better wages than ever
before, but they were paying high
prices for food. Since there was no
suggestion that the loss of protection
would mean the loss of employment
also, a large number of the people
voted for what they thought would
mean a lower cost of living.
More than two years and a half
have passed since the people voted for
the removal of protection and the low
ering of the cost of living. A major
ity. it is true, voted for the candidates
who favored a continuation of the
protective policy. but because the ma
jority divided their votes between two
protectionist candidates the solid vote
Of the minority, constituting a plu-
rality, carried the day.
TWO years ago the protective tariff
was destroyed Yet the trend of the
cost of living is still upward Prices
are higher now than they were under
the much-maligned Payne-Aldrich law.
For Is articles which are served on
the table of the workingmen of the
United States the average price for
the year 1914 was per cent higher
than in 1913. And the average price
was 51s per cent higher than in 1912.
The figures which show the steady
increase. despite the fact that 81 per
cent of all imports are now coming
in free, are not the result of any COM
pilation from Republican sources, but
are the official result of an investi-

Police Would GET Ii.

The talk of parents at home about
conditions in the police department
made a deep impression on the mind
of a twelve-year-old boy who was be-
fore Judge F. J. Lair in Juvenile court
for stealing a bicycle. The court had
lectured the boy and his three COM
panions on the disgrace of stealing
and finally asked the boys what they
thought about stealing.
Now suppose everybody were to
steal" the court suggested, land then
what do you think would become of
all of our property"
"Oh, the police would get every
thing" was the boys quick response

Have to Admit Truth.

Former Secretary of the Navy
George Won L. Meyer says Secretary
Daniels went into the navy depart
ment with a preconceived prejudice
against the methods on which it was
conducted and an intention to undo
what was being carried out on the
highest American expert advice OBJ
tainable." After all. 1t is not so very
surprising, after 16 years of uninter-
rupted Republican rule the Democrats
should have come to Washington con-
WINGED that everything was being done
wrong. 1t has taken them two years

Results Of "Free Sugar.

At the end of 1913 sugar was low.
under the influence of bumper crops
here and in Cuba. When the tariff
reduction went into effect on March L.
1914, refners' net cash price was
500. This declined to 3,675 on April
16, but then began to rise, and on
May % was back to 4,116. under the
influence of bankruptcy of Louisiana
and Porto Rico plantations and mills,
shutdown of beet factories and 49,, 900
acres reduction in beet planting as a
result of the tariff reductions. And
free sugar" has certainly lost the
treasury from $5O,O00,0 900 to $6O,000.-

Means Much to Republican,.

RepublicaR leaders in Washington
claimed a distinct advantage from the
decision handed down by the supreme
court in the grandfather clause"
cases from Oklahoma and Maryland
The effect, it was said, would be to
reinvest with suffrage a large number
of negro voters in many of the south
ern and border states where restric-
tive laws now held to be invalid have
been in operation to exclude the ne
groes from the polls. In Oklahoma,
West Virginia. Maryland, Virginia and
Kentucky the gain to the Republicans
probably will be material
