Everyone Must Register

Normal students who live in cities
of the first and second class, and who
have not registered since January l.,
1920, cannot vote at the August
primaries unless they register at the
office of the city clerk in their home
towns on or before July %.
The special session of the legisla-
ture last winter, by repeating the re-
gistration law, cancelled all existing
registrations and made it necessary
for all voters in cities of the first
and second class to re-register. The
law provides that the voter must ap-
pear in person at the Office of the
city clerk for registration. The re-
gistration books will be open again
after the August primary election,
and will remain open until ten days
before the November election.
The statement that failure 70 te-
gister by July % would deprive a
person of his right to vote at the
presidential election, has been widely
circulated. CHOSE who have so in
terpreted the law" says E. H. Wade,
clerk of the city of Emporia, shave
not read the law through" AS re-
CARDS the manner and times of regis
tration the old law was not changed.

pepeEtment. of Ju.tiee
Wellington, Kansas, june 20, /:


wellington, Kansas, June 20, 1920.
Complaint is made about the order
fixing the maximum margin of profit
at SO 1870 on shoes costing less
than $1,000, wearing apparel costing
up to $4,000 and staple dry goods by
certain retailers.
Experts and efficient retailers all
over the state report their entire
satisfaction with the margin fixed and
many of them, am glad to say, are
conducting their business in such
way that they are able to make
good net profit on even less margin.
The retailer is on trial at this crisis
and must justify his charges for ser
vice. 1t would appear that his ser
vices should not be worth more than
one-third as much as the total ser
vices of the men who own the high
priced land, raise the sheep, shear 1t,
haul the wool to market, of the
brokers who buy and sell, of the rail
roads that carry it to the warehouses
and from there to the factory, Of the
factory that makes it up into cloth,
of the railroads that carry it to the
tailor, of the tailor with all his rent,
labor and other expenses, of the
travelling salesman and other brokers
that handle the suit and the railroad
and other transportation units that
lay it down in the merchants store.
Many, many people add their mar
gins from the time the production of
the raw materials begin until the
finished product is finally delivered at
the retailers store and his short deal
ing with the finished products should
not justify him in adding on more
than 33 1870.
Where merchants insist that they
can not handle certain lines of goods
that come within this limited margin
of profit without loss on account of
the short seasonable demand, there
will be no objection to them charging
a larger margin of profit if they will
mark on every article of said goods
in plain figures the cost OF the articles
laid down at their store to the end
that those who purchase this class of
goods may be advised fully. Other
wise this margin must be observed.

"The Gates of He'll"

The Honorable Champ Clark, our
much-loved friend, in a speech in sup
port of President Wilson and the
Democratic party, had, among other
things, the following to say:
eve stand on what we did, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
US. If I was going to pick out just
one thing that has done the American
people more good, and that was done
by Democrats, than any other, I
would pick out the Federal Reserve
System"
Strange that the greatest achieve
ment of the Democratic party is the
adoption of the Federal Reserve Act
as draughted by Senator Aldrich, the
then Republican leader of the United
States Senate With few changes,
the plan is his, and only a quarrel in
the Republican party and the conse-
quent election of a Democratic adj
ministration by a minority vote, pre-
vented its adoption by a Republican
Congress. It is just as well to keep
history straight.
AS to the other proposition quoted,
it is probably quite true. When two
parties, or individuals, are working
tremendously to the same end, it is
hardly to be expected that one will
prevail" against the Entertainer
lean Economist.

Inspect Kanred Fields

Manhattan, Kans., June 23.-Purer
Kanred seed in greater quantities
than in any year since the new var
iety was developed by the Kansas ex-
pertinent station is assured this year
by the Kansas Crop Improvement
Association, the distributing agency
of the new wheat. Inspectors are
working in the fields of central Kan
sas this week, having inspected the
southern tier of counties last week.
The inspection of the state will be
completed next week.
More stringent rules than ever be-
fore are laid down for the guidance
of inspectors this year. Only fields
that were in Kanred last year, if in
wheat at all, are being inspected
further precaution against impure
seed. Samples of 100 heads from each
field are sent to the agronomy de-
partment of the college for examin-
alton.
One half million acres of Kanred
will be harvested in Kansas in the
next few weeks as compared with 50,-
600 acres last year. The ultimate
aim of the Kansas Crop Improvement
association is to see Kanred in 100
per cent of the acreage of the hard
wheat belt and the uplands of north
eastern Kansas. A thorough distribu-
ton of available pure seed this year
will bring the ideal within range of
easy accomplishment.
Besides yielding from three to five
bushels to the acre more than Turkey
or Kharkof, Kanred has greater re-
sistance in winterkilling and rust,
ripens earlier, makes better pasture
and has milling qualities equal to
either of these two varieties common
to Kansas.

Smoke Out Judas

The American Economist charges
that certain interests are at work to
''lend to the Hamburg-American
steamship company ships of this
country to enable said company to re-
establish its trade along the routes
which it covered before the war"
In plain words the United States
is to take its flag ashore and keep it
there while Germany roams the ocean
and secures all the trade from South
America. Such a suggestion shows to
what length the enemies Of this coun-
try will go to ruin the business of
this nation. We care not whether
they were born in the United States,
in England, Ireland, or the Parjelty
Islands, the men who advocate '1end-
ing" our vessels to a foreign nation
are enemies of this country and are
eager to see the commerce Of the
United States wiped out and the Stars
and Stripes driven from the seas.
For years it has been mystery TO
the writer OF this article why no or
ganized effort was made to place our
flag on American ships and send them
to foreign ports with American-made
goods. Years ago when ship news
writer in the East we lamented the
fact that the Stars and Stripes rarely
were seen on ocean going vessels, and
II was therefore with pleasure and
pardonable pride that we thought the
year 1921 was to witness the begin
ming of worldwide trade expansion
for the United States.
With common-sense Tariff law;
with law protecting American ship
ping, and with the farmers and the
owners Of industrial institutions
working in unison, the future Of this
nation would be secure while our
merchant marine was carrying the

Merchants

What do you think of this idea?
We quote from a letter from the
Secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce at Concordia. "You asked me
about our cooperative delivery sys-
tenn. It is known as the Merchants
Delivery System. Delivers groceries,
meat, dry-goods, clothing, hardware,
and is operated by an individual COM
pany. A charge is made for service.
Four deliveries are made daily, two
in the morning and two in the after
noon, except on Saturdays, when five
deliveries are made. at 8:15 and
1O:15 in the morning, and at 2:15
and Ais in the afternoon, and at
7:15 in the summer and 6:15 in the
winter on Saturdays. There is also
a special delivery truck. Patrons
ordering after the delivery wagon has
left the store are charged ten cents.
IF it is the fault of the store failing
to fill the order, the store pays the
ten cents. They have seven wagons
and it is very satisfactory here. 1t
saves the merchants 500 of their de-
livery cost"
