OF THE DAY

There seems to be a disposition by
some to ccnfine the duties Of a county
commissioner to roads. That Is a minor
part OF the duties that are prescribed
by statute as a commissioners obliga-
tions. First OF all a commissioner should
be an honest business man, who would
be as careful of the peope's money IS
he would his own.
The county commissioners, under the
law have supervision OF all county
and district officers. and are expected
to audit the accounts Of all officers hav-
ing the care, management, collection
or disbursement of any money belong
ing to the county. 1t is their duty TO
investigate bills and expenses of any
county, district or township officers. To
supervise Gil the fiscal agencies Of the
county. To cause full and accurate
expenditures. To levy tax to provide
for buildings. construction and repair
ing Of public buildings belonging to the
county. They may divert the sinking
funds. or levy a tax to reimburse the
sinking fund. They must act on claims
presented by the county clerk that may
have been filed on the clerks calendar
They have power TO examine the county
treasurers tax records; all treasurers
sheriffs. clerks, constables and other
officers chergeable with money belong
ing to the county, and require an ac
counting. They have the selection ot
the county repositories. They must cal

Of money by the county. They are ex

The trouble with the mentality
tests is that they grade intellect ac-
cording to mental agility and cum
ming.
Outside OF geniuses, the highest
grade of brain is slow thinking. If
you have ever consulted a white
bearded philosopher, you know that
the oracle hears your case, ponders
it with deliberation, views it from
all angles, then in a terse sentence
utters the decision of wisdom.
The fast thinker arrives at wrong
conclusions oftener than the slow
thinker.
The fast thinker usually is a sur
face thinker.

devoted to correcting the errors Of
Judgment on the part OF the snap

The Atchison Globe digs up this in
teresting fact; THE first dress.sut that
ever came to Kansas came with the
aid from Boston during the dry sum-
mer of 1860. Some rich man in the east
contributed it, having outgrown it, and
a farmer named Paswell. in Kapioma
township in this country. plowed corn
in it all summer"
This is probably the only occasion In
history. on which a dress.suit was ever
put TO a really useful purpose.
The dress.sut. like the silk hat and
the gold headed cane, originated as q
badge OF display or ability TO pay. They
are passing out. The modern badges
are autos and bootleg whisky.

Many of these expenses can be

wholesale instead of retail Overhead

other expenses like auctioneer's fees,

JOYNER REPLIES TO
TOBACCO JOURNAL


A friend has called my attention
to an editorial in the Southern To-
bacco Journal of Jan. 18th, offering
the following eight objections to Co
operative Marketing of tobacco.
Objection 1. "The expense of
handling and marketing cooperative
1y-grading, re-drying, packing, insur-
ance, taxes & etc., salaries of ex-
perts for handling and selling" etc.
Answer: The Association will not
incur single legitimate expense for
these purposes that is not incurred
now by buyers and manufacturers
and paid for by the growers directly
or indirectly as a part of the expense
of marketing. AS long as the buyer
has the fixing of the price, as he has
and will continue to have under the
present system, all expenses of mar
keting will be figured out of the

1t would be equally easy to uote

Tobacco Journal: "The only publica-

bacco interests. Published at the

and to suggest that the editor of a
paper published in such environment
carrying large and remunerative ad-
vertisements from those that have
grown rich under the present system
of selling loaf tobacco, might at
least be as liable to the suspicion OF
selfish motives and interest in op-
posing Cooperative marketing which
contemplates a complete change OF
that system as are the advocates Of
Cooperative Marketing whose mo-
tives he impunges.
One of the surest ways to arouse
suspicion of ones own motives is to
be too quick to suspect the motives
of others. The thinking public has
learned from experience that an ap-
peal to prejudice, suspicion, and per-
sonalities in discussion of a great
issue is usually the last resort to boil
ster up weak argument and the sur
est confession of the weakness of the
argument.
