Dear Folks:
Please don't bust into fits of laugh

one 20" in salon, an the "sap' is pro-

nouncement last Friday night, an

i didn't dream it was that!

thing, an, accordin' to him. hence
forth an hereafter the fiat is to be
thinkers who happen to blow in to
town! He claims that with conditions
as they are it's a utter impossibility
for a "grasshopper" to give homes
opinion without first gettin' the diff
ferent angles of all kind O. folks,
hence the salon!
Up to goin' to press. outside O.
Ginger an me. not a independent
thinker has showed up as yet, but
far be it from me to knock! The
thing listens good, even at that!
Here's bit O. correspondence he
just asked me to flash:
Dear Lon: I'm a farmerette, a good
republ can, an worked hard to help
elect Senator Harding, SO feel privi-
elect appoint an out-and-out farmer
as Secretary of the Agriculture. Do
you think writing him to that effect
would do any gSod? rnrnso>,
'Give Mr.. Harding a chance, Miss
Annie. an for heavens sake don't
write! Press reports have it that he's
got his peppers on regular plowfnan
from the great middle west. SO instead
o. pettin' peevish an losin' out on your
big harvest. train all your thunder in
that direction an see if you can't in
dooce him to consider the job!'
Please ease me this one. Lon;

If Harding feels a fghtin' man
Will do his cabinet good.

AN his iii daughter whispered as
She grabbed his icy hand-The boss
wants to see you at once, Myrtle, an
I wish you coulda heard the at once!
Friend Lon: I reckon to educated
folks this question is ridiculous. but
on the level, just what is meant by
sub rosa? Please don't publish my
letter as l feel so silly.

of the law and no more damage is
done TO the roads than by the nor
mally loaded truck. Damage to the
truck and tires is completely avoided.
'If the normal volume of hauling
has outgrown the truck capacity the
capacity can be more than doubled
by using the truck as a tractor, with
a semi-trailer attachment. The body
should be removed and a fifth-whee1
coupling for the trailer mounted on
the frame over the rear axle. A
one-ton truck can be converted into
a three-ton semi-trailer hauling unit /:
a two-ton truck into a hve-ton unit.
or a flve-ton truck into a ten-ton or
twelve-ton OUTFIT. The change can
be effected at less cost than to dis
pose Of the truck at sacrifice and
purchase a new one Of corresponding
greater capacity. Moreover. after the
conversion. hauling can be done at
fully one-third saving as compared
with truck Of two or three times
the capacity Of the old one. as shown
by the records of many trailer users.

INDUSTRIAL COURT AND OTHER
COURTS.

Why all this sharp distinction, by
labor leaders on the one hand and
employers of labor on the other. be-
tween the Kansas industrial court and
oCner courts?
Issues involving life and death, mil
hons IN money and property, the
rights of the individual, the rights of
the nation, the state, the municipal
lty, are taken to the courts, where
they may be carried to the highest of
these tribunals. The verdicts are ac-
cepted as final. In spite of cumber-
some procedure and irritating delays,
the results are regarded as the near
est approach to just judgment.
Organized society declares that pri-
vate grievances shall not be resented
IN such way as to afflict the inno-
cent public, and laws are enacted,
officers chosen to enforce them and
courts established to administer them
IN order that such affection may not
be necessary.
Therefore, when the laws provide
against the oppression of the public
by practically every other process or
method thinkable, why should they
disregard conspiracies, whether on the
part of employers or employees, to
cut off supplies of food or fuel by
curtailing or stopping production of
these necessities or blocking their
TRANSFORMATION?
Indeed. the public has more reason
TO resent this form of oppression than
It has to retailiate against many other
forms for tho reason that this form

Some Things Being Talked and

THE PRESIDENT.

Secretary Lansing, of course,
leaves the cabinet with the respect,
sympathy and confidence of the coun-
try, regardless of party or purely par
tlsan thought. His letters reveal
much. In the main, under the most
extreme provocation, they are re-
STAINED, respectful and clear. He is
glad to get out, and IN his irt!mation
of that he hints at world of difficult
ty In getting along with the white
house.
One by one the strong men are
walling out. There is no work for a
strong and able man to do for or with
Woodrow Wilson. He is sufficient
not only unto himself but unto all the
processes toward his ends.
1t has brought him to the point
where one of two things has happen
ed. His sense of reason and balance
has completely gone through the pro-
gresslve intoXication of arrogating
to himself more and more an exclus-
i've power until he has reached the
point where he feels himself lifted
up into Olympus-the mountain of
abode of men among the ancient who
had taken on such wisdom, capacity
and power they were qualified to be
gods instead of men--or acute and
sharp senility has taken possession of
him.
This may seem harsh Judgment,
but there is nothing left to believe.

spective, with any sort of sturdy tie
