WHERE THE STATE LOSES

Governor Capper is quoted by the
wichita Beacon as in favor of mod
flying the county governments to
save expense and yet accomplish as
efficient results as now. Another
division of government is also IN
need of revision-the courts. There
are SO district judges drawing $1,000
annually; each with a stenographer
drawing 1920 annually. The cost
is over $15O,O00. A compilation last
winter of the time actually served
shows that little more than half the
time of the judges is occupied
Twenty judges could handle all the
district court business of the state.
Yet every attempt to cut down the
number has been defeated by the
legislature. The state pays the
bills and its people complain be-
cause there is no money for the
things the state really needs to do
Who is to blame?

iod we're s1,736,996,2O7, of which
$1,034.056,627 were admitted free.
1t will thus be seen that the free
imports have increased the enor-
nous amount of $304,835, 435 in
two years. In the same time the
dutiable imports have decreased
close to 100000. In 1911, I'M
der the Payne-Aldrich law, the free
imports were so per cent of the
total. Now, under the Democratic
tariff, they are 20 per cent of the
whole. While our reyenue-producing
imports are dwindling, the quantity
of free goods dumped on our shores
is increasing at an appalling rate.
These figures are taken from the
official reports of the department
of commerce.

RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB

Senator Curtis has been appoint
ed on a special committee to see
to it that Republican candidates for
the United States senate are elected.
And take it from us, there is NO
man in the country who knows
more about that particular kind OF
work than does our own Senator
Charley Curtis. With him to LOOK
after their interests, the Republican
candidates in the various states
will have the best backing and best
advice that can be secured in the
country. In political fight, Sena
tor Curtis is a whole regiment IL
himself.-Lawrence Gazette.

The Manhattan Mercury wants
the Republicans to give the women
representation on the state ticket
and says "Ten elective state off
GERS are to be nominated. Is 1t un-
fair to ask that while bestowing
nine of these state offices on men,
one should be given to a woman?
VIII the Republican voters of Kan
sas, at the coming primary election
of Kansas, prove to the world their
contention through all the years
that women should have equal rights
with men-in holding office as well
as in voting? The question of Re-
publican sincerity is squarely up to
the voters. There is but one woman
candidate for state office-Miss
Lizzie E. Wooster, of Salina. Are
the women of Kansas, whose votes
are coveted by the men candidates,
entitled to one place out of 10 on
the state ticket? What is your judg-
ment, Mr.. and Mrs. Republican? ?"

WHY NOT STICK?

President Wilson is now doubtful
whether or not the big German sub
marine is a merchant vessel. Al
first it was SO declared. Then Eng
land and France objected and now
the news comes that the adrainistra-
ton is in doubt. Why doubt? why
not stick? When it had once been
inspected and a decision made there
was Just one course and having
made the decision England ana
France should have received notice
that the vessel was considered a
merchant vessel and they could like
it or not, as they pleased. Probably
he will write a note.

WILSON PARTrsANsHIp

In his speech at Detroit President
Wilson regretted that he would
have to make the tariff commission
bipartisan. To select men of all
parties will be he said "a very great
blow to my spirit" Naturally. He
has throughout his administration
avoided both the civil service law
and the bipartisan regulations
wherever possible. The federal banks
are entirely ruled by Democrats
and worse than that they are ruled
By emissaries sent from Washington
to order the branch banks what to
do. Congress- made wilson's task in

THE Uses OF ADVERSELY

The attitude of the Republican
party toward the needs of the coun-
try in this campaign is so markedly
patriotic and so awakened to the
larger vision that there is reason
TO believe that its defeat in 1912
was after all rot such bad thing.
The party was then divided in its
views and the opposition on either
side was so bitter that there seemed
no ground for compromise. The
indications were that it would in
the end bring complete overthrow
and would have done so this year
II not then. Now the party is to-
gether: the nomination of Hughes
centers the party on man who
was removed from the old disagree
ment and who is recognized as a
leader Of real ability, who is &C
cepted by both sides and who is
big enough to lead the nation into
paths Of real Americanism.
The defeat was the party's own
fault in failing to settle its argu-
ments within the party and meet
ing the campaign united. Now il
has settled them and is again the
Republican party of Mckinley and
Roosevelt and has in the past four
years had time to think soberly OF
the needs Of the nation and to
form a determination to care for
those needs in a big way, with
business ability and to place the
nation back in its position as a
self respecting power.
Following the Cleveland fiasco
the Republican party gave the ma
tion a finer administration than in

MAKE CROSSINGS SAFE

"The crossing was on level piece
of track, obscured from view by
high weeds. The automobile was
hurled 20 feet from the crossing
The bodies were strewn along the
right of way for $50 feet"
The above is part of story OF
the killing of six persons in an au-
tomobile Sunday in Illinois. the
only wonder is that it is not re-
peated in dozens of cases each day.
The railroad crossings are dis
grace to civilization. Obseured py
hanks of earth, by weeds and with
insufficient warning signs, motor
lists and drivers of horse-drawn We
hicles are constantly in danger OF
their lives. There are crossings IN
dickinson county that are a me-
mace TO lives and nothing is done
to remedy them. The railroads
should be compelled to clean the
view so far as their tracks and right
Of way is concerned at every cross
ing and the property owners to keeF
the view unobscured. Unless some
thing is done the harvest Of lives
will 20 on. Here is something fol-
wide awake legislators to work OF
at the coming session of the legis'
lature. The law should be strin-
gent one-and be enforced.

WHAT CAN KANSAS DO?

|
The Bankhead good roads bill
has become law. The secretary Of
agriculture, in agreement with the
highway department of each state
will determine where the roads
shall be built and of what material
they shall be constructed. The law
appropriates, "out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated," $75,OOO,OO0 for the con
struction of rural post roads, Of
which $5,00d,O00 will be available
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1917; $1O,O0O,OOO for 1918, s15,-
600, 900 for 1919, $20,OO0,0O0 for
1920, and $25,O0O,OOO for 1921.
100000 is appropriated for sur
yeys and beginning road construc
ton
The allotments of the federal
fund to the several states will be
made by the secretary of agricul-
ture in this manner: One-third in
the ratio which the area of each
state bears to the total area of al
the states; one-third in the ratio
which the population of each state
bears to the total population OF all
the states, as shown by the latest
available federal census; one-third
In the ratio which the mileage OF
rural delivery routes and star
routes in each state bears to the
total mileage of rural delivery
routes and star routes in all the
states, at the close of the next pre-
ceding fiscal year, as shown by the
certificate of the postmaster gen
eral.
No character and cost have been
approved by the secretary. Every
road project with the plans, specifl-
cations and estimates Of cost must
be approved by the secretary before
any part of the federal appropria-
ton can be apportioned to it under
4 the law. The secretary is forbidden
by the law to approve any road
project which is not substantial in
character. He cannot make any
payment for the construction of any
road in excess of $4,000 the mile
The construction work and labor in
each state is to be done in accord
ance with the laws of the state and
under the direct supervision of the
state highway department, subject,
however, to the inspection and APP
proval of the secretary of agricul-
ture without which the state cannot
share in the apportionment of the
federal appropriation. The law au-
thorizes the secretary to expend
three per centum of the appropria-
ton for any fiscal year for admin
istration.
No state can have any share in
the federal appropriation which
does not agree to the terms OF the
law. 1t is a fifty-fifty proposition.
The state which puts up dollar for
building a rural post road will get a
dollar from the United States, upon
compliance with the conditions
named in the law. Nothing is taken
for granted IT is all written down
) in the law.
Kansas has a provision in the
constitution that it cannot appro-
: pirate money for internal improve
: ments" which includes road-build
ing. How is it going to put up its
, share and have a part in the gov
ernment's appropriation? 1t is time
to get busy.
