under the inexorable stimulus OF
war prices, reached an average OF
over $3.50 year for over 2,OOO,-
900 men In 1920. against $7o3
year for 1884, 800 men In 1913.
This was a clean rise OF 141 per
cent. not In rates of wages but In
actual compensation paid TO the EN-.
ployees, while In the same period
the retail prices Of the principal arti'
cles of food increased only 1O3 per
cent, and the cost of living advanced
approximately 80 per cent Consid-
ering now the drop In prices during
the period Of defation, from 1870 TO
March, 1922, we find that the retail
price OF all articles Of food fell to
80 per cent above the level OF 1913,
and the average earnings OF Oil

to 1886 a year for 1,57O,15S per-

A Solomon business man says
that his town is getting tired Of be-
ing the only city Of the county with
dirt streets. Hope has had its main
street paved for several years; Chap
man is paving and Enterprise has
let contracts. Abilene has Is miles
Of paving and Herington nearly as
much. Both towns are adding to
their improvement. Solomon Is talk
ing Of asking the commissioners to
pave from the Union Pacific track
to the county line, about a mile,
taking in the main business street,
under the petition already approved
Federal aid can be secured which
will pay half of 1t and up to $4,000
a mile more can be paid out of the
automobile fund, leaving the city
but small cost. 1t would be good
idea. Chapman is getting aid on Its
east and west streets; Enterprise
can get no federal aid because of
the main highway. Solomon is 8
wide-awake town and usually gets
what 1t goes after.

FOUR VIEWS OF THE BIBLE
The Belief That the Scriptures Are
Throughout Verbally Inspired 10
Not Universally Held.

According to one view, held for CEN
turtles, the Scriptures are throughout
verbally inspired, and every word I'D
them dictated to the sacred writer's by
the spirit OF God; according to another.
though they are not inspired word FOR
word, they contain record OF divine
things written under divine influence;
according to a third. though not writ
ten under divine inspiration In any
part, they contain faithful record
of a divine progressive revelation; and
according to fourth. they contain
record merely Of what long success
sion of passionately devout men saw
and felt to be the clear purpose OF
the Eternal In His providence Of the
world. st. John Is authority for the
statement that mo man hath seen God
at any time; but certain impressions
or feelings are interpreted as the
presence of God" and certain states
Of mind and will as the "Will Of
God" Men who believed they were
thus moved upon by the divine pres
ence and inspired to utter the divine
will have given mankind a particular
literature and this literature has been
called the word Of God. SO for as our
western civilization Is concerned that
word of God is known as the Holy
Billie.

SCANDALOUS

A shameful story comes from ONO
where it is boldly charged that the
postmasters and other federal ofrice
holders are taking hand in politics
and seeking to nominate certain can
didates at the behest Of those higher
up. What are we coming to, fellow
citizens, when after all these years OF
political purity such things can be?
Should such things occur in Kansas
there would be revolution. Who
ever heard Of Kansas postmaster
taking any interest in politics? Or a
United States marshal or any Of the
scores Of state inspectors and other
appointees? Ohio should be ashamed
Of itself.

MILEY a GOOD SCHOOL MAN

II Jess w. Miley, OF Girard, IL
nominated and elected state super
intendent OF public instruction. Kan
sas will have at the head OF her
school system the best Informed and
most experienced rural school teach
or ever elected to this Office.
Miey has been superintendent OF
the schools Of Crawford county for
the last II years, and in this posi-
ton he has made more rural schools
under his supervision than any other
county superintendent In the state.
The fact that he has been retained
in this position by the people OF
Crawford county furnishes "home
folks recommendation" that the
voters who 90 into the Republican
primary ON August might do well
to weigh.
Miley has built up the Crawford
county schools In way that has
.liven him recognition among the
teachers all over Kansas and sur
states. His standing among
the teachers Is shown by the fact
that he is now serving as president
OF the Kansas State Teachers Ass0-
citation. This recognition, along
with his record in his home county.
leaves small ground for questioning
the wisdom of vote for Miley If
you have an interest in building up
the educational system Of Kansas
and are anxious to put competent,
capable and experienced man at the
head of the common schools.

WAS A GOOO ACTION

The prompt action of Governor
Allen i'm giving orders that the law
against picketing and other strike
tactics should be strictly enforced
was the right stuff. Kansas cannot
afford to have any of the Illinois
stigma attached to its name and the
way to stop trouble is to start tearly.
We are betting that IL the strikers
try any recklessness they will hear
from Allen.

The popular conception OF a sur
yey OF this country from an airplane
Is that II presents n picture OF citieS'
strikes, farms, amusement PARKS
garages, congress, several hundred
conventions In tumultuous session.
But IL doesn't. The larager part OF
the landscape is taken up by coun-
try clubs-big rich clubs with pala-
tiaI club houses. greens that cost
five thousand dollars each, limous-
ines, party gowns; exclusive CLUBS
with naughty pillars at the en-
trance, pretty girls posing on the
greens In knicker suits, coupes, Sc
dams: modest country clubs, all
wrapped up comfortably In nice
thick mortgages. touring cars, pho
nographs; plain every day clubs, no
club house, barbed wire around the
green's to keep cattle from interfer-
Ing with putting. flivvers, wiid
flowers.
A motorist tangled In the peculiar
consistency of Iowa mud after
rain was held for four days at the
town of Belle Plaine. While he
was whiting for the roads to dry
he gathered his golf bag from the
running board Of the car and sought
the local banker
"Where Is the country clubF
"There IL no country club
"What? DO you mean to say
there are no golf links near TINS
town? No place where-Oh, well,
stop fooling and tell me where 1t is
absolutely no country club. no
golf links.-but we are getting
ready to start club-cOme back
next year"
That Is true Of all the t0wns-if
they have none, the plans are under
way to organize. The process Is by |
no means simple. The average
citizen who has been brought up
without civilizing experiences OF
country club does not know what
one is like. He has a supreme con-
tempt for the full grown man who
will spend whole afternoon
little white rubber ball
over an expansive piece Of sod. He
must be educated. This education
usually takes the form Of visiting
the clubs in operation and seeing
what is going on and how interest
Ing other business men find 1t.
The average country town has an
dea that business must be carried
On at least fourteen hours day,
Xix DAYS in the week with a little
on Sunday afternoon,
with shades drawn. The smaller
he town the tighter the shades
must be drawn. OF late years 1t
ms been possible to inculcate the
belief that Just as much business
,an be done with all the stores
.losed at 9 p. m. as by keeping open
,ntil 10 p. m. and country banks
lose their doors definitely at 4 =.
H., with no side door for the belat-
ID customer. 1t came hard at first,

discover that he can make just as
much money by having a half holi-
lay on Saturday and getting off two
,r three afternoons at 3 O'Clock FOR
rolf. Then the country club Will

The country club Is builded
around golf, and all things else are
added unto 1t.
