Lines Upon the Fingers.
New York.-It is not unconstitutional
to finger print a person convicted of a
crime. according to a decision by
Judge Wadhams in general sessions,
UNFOLDING the finger printing statute.
The decision was given in the case of
Anna Sallow, convicted recently of dis
orderly conduct. After reviewing the
history of the case and the previous
decisions on the question the court
says:
Finger prints are but the tracings
of physical characteristics or the lines
upon the fingers. Nothing further is
required in finger printing than has
been sustained heretofore by the courts
in making proofs OF Identification"

1t is a fine thing to guard our
homes against alien soldiers OF

the clear views that have given
the home its character.
If you will familiarize your
young people with the best read

PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE

NE Emporia Gazette, which Is

lot of questions that must be soly-

which the editor of the Gazette
looks to the Republican party to
solve. The Gazette gives the follow
ing as some of the questions con-
fronting the party
shall we pension our aged sol
diers of industry as we pensioned
our soldiers of the Civil war, or
shall we let industry main and break
them and throw them out, depend
ents upon charity or relatives?
Shall we handle the transporta-
ton problem by government own
ership or government control?
"Shall we do as many European
nations are doing-insure our work.
ers against unemployment, and pro-
vide industrial life and accident in
surance under government supervi-
sion?
.'Shall we give the tenant farmer
a chance to buy his land on long
time loans, as other nations do?
"Shall we attack the problem of
scientifically and national
ly?
"Shall we allow great fortunes to
accumulate and pass from genera
ton to generation unchecked, grow
ing gigantic mortgages upon the I'M
born, or shall we redistribute this
wealth by a progressive
taxi"
The Gazette is right, these prob
lens must sbe solved and the Repub-
lican party is the one that should
do it. 1t can only have an oppor-
tunity to do it by electing its Off

WHAT FARMERS CAN DO IN
A COOPERATIVE WAY

The speaker from the state agri.
cultural college at the farmers
anon meeting last Saturday, Prof
Macklin, professor OF cooperative
farming, stated that in Kansas SIS,
600, 100000 had been invested in co
operative creameries every cent OF
which had been lost because an in
Vestigation was not made before
starting the concern to ascertain
whether or not there were enough
cows in the neighborhood to make
IT. pay, says the Clay Center Times
JIe also stated that the average co
operative store in Kansas last year
made the men who were interested
i'm 1t just $3.50 1here may be graft
and stealing on the part of mer-
chants, he said, but the fact that the
average cooperative store had been
able to make only $3.50 FOR its pro-
moters indicated that there was
very little grating and stealing GO
ing on in merchandising. He asked
the farmers present If they lived 4
miles from a railroad but 80 miles
from any town, how many would
want town established on that
railroad, and all said they would
want the town. Furthermore, all
present said they would give $50
for a town So, in that crowd, prob
ably 100000 could have been rails
cd for a town under those circum-
stances. The $3.50, which the CO.
operative stores had saved, repre-
scented, he said what farmers were
paying for the privileges of town,
though all had been willing to in
vest $50. At the basis OF these re-
marks by the speaker, was the idea
that the farmers problem Of CO.
operation is not one of buying but
one of selling. That a farmer might
save so cents by cooperative buying,
where, with the same effort, applied
to cooperative selling, seeking bet
ter markets and better system of dis
tribution he might be able to save
$50. He advised farmers to go in
10 the marketing problem more ex-
tensively, systematic their distri-
button, get their goods more direct
lv into the customers hands, etc,
rather than waste their efforts on
small problems of buying. 1t all lis
