The specter of PauperIsm.

Do you know that in the United
States sixty-six out of every hundred
people that die leave no estate what
ever? Do you know that out of the re.
naming thirty -four only nine leave es-
tates larger than $1,000 and that the
average Of tho balance of twenty-five
is a little less than $1,000? Do you
know that at the age Of sixty five nine
ty-seven out of every hundred in Amer
lea are partly or wholly dependent
upon relatives, friends or the public
for their daily bread, for their cloth
ing and roof under which to sleep?
We all know that the one safeguard
against pauperism by the countries OF
Europe has been thrift. France, Ger
many, Belgium, Holland and Switzer-
land have been the leaders in thrift
Do you realize that according to gov
eminent statistics 90 per cent Of the
American people are living from day
to day on their wages and that loss
of employment would mean pauperism
for all but per cent of us?-S. w.

KANSAS CROSSING LAW

An advocate of good roads Gals
our attention to the fact that the
Kansas railroad crossing law, in.
tended to change railroad crossings
to smooth and level highways, went
into effect at midnight, November
30 Some of the railroads at To
peka have been active several months
getting the highway crossings over
the tracks into the proper shape.
No one is able to notice any i'm
provement in Dickinson county
Other roads may have some law
suits before any real work is done.
The law requires the roads to build
crossings l6 feet wide and so that
the roadway and track level are the
same 10 feet on each side of the
rails The grade is to be not more
than 715 per cent. There are many
crossings in Dickinson county-in
fact most OF them-which do not
comply with this law and the rail-
roads should get busy at once. The
county attorney can enforce this
law if he desires.
A few days ago the dailies gave
an account of four persons being
killed in an automobile in wiscon-
sin while crossing the railroad track
on a bad crossing and this law is
intended to save grade crossing &C
cidents where motor cars and wag-
ons become stalled because OF the
steep grade. II also will permit
motorists to see up and down the
tracks several hundred yards be-
fore driving on the rails.

turer the needed protection and we
built up a successful tin plate in
dustry in this country. The Demo-
Gratis cut the duty in 1913, with
the result that We have been i'm
porting immense quantities from
Wales, even since the war began,
and now we are getting tin plate
from China. We shall get it in large
quantities unless the tariff duties are
raised again. China has the iron for
the plates the tin for the coating,
the coal for the foundries and the
cheap labor for manufacture. Amer
lean workmen do not propose to
accept the Chinese standard of
wages and living.-Leavenworth

In plain words the difference be-
tween a tariff for revenue only
(Which our free trade friends advo-
cate and which has always signally
failed to produce the revenue) and
a protective tariff is that the tariff
for revenue only says: Get the
money to run the government and
let the home industrial enterprises
struggle against the overwhelming
odds of foreign cheap-labor compe-
tition, and sink or swim as best
they cam" while the protective tar
iff says, in substance: Let the tar
iff for the revenues of the govern
ment be raised incidentally, but
only as a consequence of the ample
security and protection of the home
markets and industrial institutions
to which our home working people
must look for their daily bread and
Clothes Now does it require any
Eesitancy to decide which is the
better, the more fair, and the more
patriotic principle?

THE BIGGEST SLICE OLE PORK

The town of Mckee in Jackson
county, Kentucky, is reported from
Washington to have received an APP
preparation of $4,000 for gov
eminent building This is the most
astonishing manifestation we have
yet seen Of congressional generosity
in the helpings of pork. Mckee,
Kentucky, has just 146 inhabitants.
And we wonder why we have to
lick a dollars worth of war stamps
every time we renew a mortgage.
We get irritated whenever we have
to pay a penny extra on the tele-
phone and the telegraph calls. 1t
may help us some to remember as
we taste the sweetened mucilage
which the stamp maker uses that
Mckee, Kentucky, is going to have
$4,000 building. Wichita Bea-
con.
And Junction City with 5000 pop
ulation is to have a $55, 900 gov

ference whether congress is run by
the south with it's pork barrel pro-
cliyities or by the nation as a whole.

WHAT is THE DIFFERENCE?

Not even an unterrified Demo-
crat would dare to vote for a bill
for the admission of Chinese labor
TO this country, but the Democratic
congress has passed and a Demo-
cratic president signed an act which
admits the product of Chinese la
Dor. What is the difference? II we
admit the Chinese laborer, he at
least spends a small portion of his
earnings here. If We buy the pro-
ducts Of his labor Made in China"
We do not get even that much. II
we admit the Chinese laborer, he
will use American raw materials in
his work. II we admit the product
of his labor, he uses Chinese raw
materials. The Democrats have.
therefore, done worse for us than
