his editorial attacking Chairman Mot
ter and the state administration, "and
there is not a thinking Republican in

Why is this true? Because from
the moment the present crowd went
into office it has played politics.

for the people. 1t is time to call a

Brady declares the present situation

served in the Bull Moose cause. is
severely taken to task by inference

HusLs for Reward.
Continuing his editorial, Brady said:
Personally, Mr.. Motter is a very fine
man and We like him very much. We
hold that the present plight of the party
Is In spite Of rather than because of his
leadership. He has not been able to steer
his officials clear Of the rocks.
Kansas Is an independent state. 1t
, wants Just one thing Of It's officials and
are nothing but sordid. who are chasing
over the country making speeches in the
hopes that presidential lightning will
strike. will find nothing but husks for
their reward.
1T Is a mistake for the Republican lead
ership to tell the rank and file of the
people that they must not have any eX-
preston on the presidency; that they must
turn the nomination over TO the flivvers
to parcel out the offices and handle public
Affairs as they please. Those days have
forever passed away The time has come
when the members of the party will not
be content to turn the highest office in
the world over to the men who want to
get marshalships and inspeetOrships and
postoffices out of il. No, the men who
want to return to the old days in Kansas
have not reckOned with the public and that
is the great obstacle"
In the legislative sessions of 1909-'11
Brady served as state senator from the
Doug las-Jefferson district. In 1914 he
was the Progressive nominee for con-
gress in the Second district. He was
with the delegation which that year
pleaded with Governor Allen to go
with the Bull Moose cause. Their eff
forts placed Allen on the ticket as can
didate for governor.
Since the Progressive party was dis
solved in 1916, Brady has lined up as

Italy Is one country where a gen.

Nitti asserted. Bolshevism was an
Asiatic evil which could not spread to

"Play the People Instead of

headed straight for the rocks. That is
the declaration of J. L. Brady. editor
OF the Salina Daily Union. who has

publican administration in the state
house He charges that state officials
have played politics since the moment
they went into office and doubts the
ability of the party to carry the state
in the 1920 election.
For some weeks Brady has been
trying to create sentiment for an in
structed delegation TO the next nation
al convention. But the Republican
leadership of the state seems strongly
behind Motter and Fred f. Stanley,
national committeeman. in urging a
free delegation. Brady declares that
any attempt to name an uninstructed
delegation threatens success to the
party in the next presidential cam
paign. In an editorial in his Salina
paper Brady denies he is a candidate
for a position on the delegation. He
is known to be strongly in favor of

Record Coinage by U. S. of
Undespised Penny in 1918;
Rising Prices Was Reason

Reports from the mints show a
total of 307,614000 one-cent pieces
turned out by the United States in
1913. This is record coinage. It
stands for only single years prog
ress, however. in a tide of pennies
which has been rising steadily dur
ing the latter half of the war period.
The average annual output of one
cent pieces from. 1907 to 1916 was
about 100,000,000.
0stensibly the 1918 increase in our
smallest of coins was made necessary
by the call for small change to pay
war taxes on goods sold at retail.
Really, all sorts of economic causes
are behind the rising demand for pen
MES. Rising prices of provisions and
other staples have gone constantly
into odd figures.
At times and places of old. in the
United States, down on the gulf and
out on the gold coast, the cent has
been despised. Men boosted of spend

copper coin now has its turn about.
Nobody holds it in scorn.

was taken were practically destroyed
and the straw was absolutely worth
less for feeding To provide for lack
of hay Is acres of millet and four Of
sorghum were grown.
The herd consisted of bull and Is
grade cows, from which Is calves were
obtained. The cows were turned on
stalks November and allowed to run
there until spring. They received APP
proximately three acres of stalks, one
ton of millet hay, and one-third OF a
ton of sorghum fodder each. Valuing
the millet at $3.50 ton and the
sorghum at $4 ton, the winter feed
cost per COW was $500. The cows
