Says "Hysterical Tone"
Must BE Eliminated.
The good wheat must be separated
from the great stack Of New Deal
chaff. This requires wise and effective
administration, free from partisan
bias. The hysterical tone OF Govern
ment must be eliminated. Our high
officials must think with their minds
rather than with their emotions. The
times demand economy and efficiency
so that the regular and extraordinary
services of Government can be fully
performed without threatening a
mighty people with national bank
ruptcy. We must build new and
better Civil Service that will fill Gov
ernment positions with trained. trust
worthy and capable employees, and Of
fer to our youth a career In public
service based on merit and qualifica-
tions for the Job. The political spoils
system and the spoilsmen responsible
for it must 60, in the interest Of econ-
omy and efficiency.
There rever was a time when gov
ernment so needed factual informa-
ton and expert trained service. We
must not allow our rising prejudice
against mere experimentation to blind
us to this fact. Here in Kansas we
have found that a research depart
ment to collect facts-not to adminis-
ter theories-is of the greatest impor-
tance and aid to members of the Leg

per cent. Total revenues for State
and local purposes in 1884 were "a
per cent less than in 1882. Yet, while
these tax reductions were being made,
counties and municipalities reduced
their bonded debt by $l7000,000, or
IL per cent, during the period from
1882 to 1894.
The credit, as I have repeatedly
said, does not belong to any one
political party or State administration,
but to thousands of local officials all
over Kansas. Savings were not made
by skimping of necessary services or
dodging new responsibilities Of relief.
Throughout 1888 and 1884, accord
ing to the report of the Federal relief
administrator, 306 per cent of the re-
lief burden In Kansas was financed
from non-Federal funds On this
basis Kansas ranked fifteenth among
all the States. Contrast this record
to that of IA States which spent less
than 10 per cent Of non-Federal funds
for relief.
The time has come for direct at
tack on the attempt at Washington
to substitute a taX-eating bureaucracy
for liberal Democratic system. Busi-
ness recovery offers more promise Of
employment than a thousand wildcat
schemes. The return of fruitful pro-
ductivity in the United States will be
directly translated into higher living
standards for us all. There must be
revival of confidence in national
credit, confidence in soundness of the
dollar. confidence in the Government
at WASHINGTON. These guarantee the

islature slld to the chief executive Of
the Commonwealth as well.
We are still in the throes Of per-
sonal government. Only government
of laws, not men, can rescue us from
this plight. A mere change in Of
ficials in Washington will not suffice.
The nexs national platform of the
Republican party should be a straight
forward declaration that will set forth
the careful thought and serious con-
victions not Of one person, but OF
many. Behind that platform must be
an honest intention to redeem its
pledges, not to throw 1t on the junk
pile the day after election.
With renewed confidence and a
reafiirmation Of faith, let us turn from
an un-American doctrine of division
and classes. AS united people, COM
mon in our hopes as in our purposes
we shall move forward to that greater
destiny which is our just heritage.

ANCAOiM M> fAHCdus
There is much discussion whether
reform of our social and economic sys-
tenn should go before recovery or
whether recovery should precede re-
form. My answer is that the greatest
reform that we could have is recov-
cry. We are going to be many years
unscramnlirg the eggs cooked up by
the kitchen cabinet of this administra-
ton. Ore Of the greatest failures Of
these cooks was that they were un-
able to Tell the bad eggs from the
good. The result has been indiges-
ton for all Of us.
It is necessary for all of us who are
concerned with agriculture's welfare
and every American ought to be-to
work together in the development Of
program tl1at will be both sound and
legal. And have faith that we shall
develop such measures and the cour-
age to put them into effect.
The problem Of agriculture certainly
must be approached on non-parti-
san basis. No one can justify any at
tempt to make political capital out Of
the national anxiety for effective solu-
ton Of the agricultural problem.
Solutions are not devised as easily
as magician produces an egg from
his mouth. Low prices for farm prod
ucts and increasing interest and taxes
have forced too many farmers to ex-
haust their soil. Farmers have re-
allied this, but under economic pres
sure for cash crops have been unable
to do anything about 1t.
Surplus Evil Influence,
But Can Be Controlled.
Low prices have been caused by the
practical loss of the farm markets,
both domestic and foreign. OF the
markets, the domestic market has
always been far more important for
our farmers.
But even in the case Of the major
cash crops, On which . surplus has

Treasury Held Periled
by Abysmal Waste.
It has been said that the demands
Tor relief have imperiled our Federal
finances. That Is only a half truth.
The money actually reaching the un-
employed and impoverished has not
rocked the Treasury. The rocking has
been done by abysmal waste through
changes of policy, mala administration
and ruthless partisansnip. Relief ap-
propriations have been more than
ample, but all too many on relief and
work projects have been denied ade-
quate aid because bureaucracy has
eaten up too much of the funds in
tended for relief. We need desperate
" q cheaper. simpler and more respon-
eible relief administration throughout
the Union.
Taking at its face value the solemn
promises Of the administration that
politics would be kept out of all relief
activities, I continued the relief or
ganization of my distinguished Demo-
cratic predecessor. Here IN Kansas
We thought differences over methods
could only injure the deserving So
We accepted what was offered and
made an administrative success Of
Federal plans equaled by few other
States. The records will show that no
State co-operated more fully with the
Federal Relief Administration than
Kansas.
With the passage of the $4,000, ,000,-
900 relief bill, however. came the
melancholy discovery that q non
political administration Of relief was
not intended. The w. P. A. was oro-

audience chamber of his official resi-
dence in the City of Ballydaghan. He

tary ushered me into the room and

that he would rather throw me out OF

him and me was a vein of natural
shrewdness which triumphed over his

OF NATION IN RACE FOR NEW AIRlAIL L
Financial Requirements Offer Obstacles, While Policies
in Relation to Trunk Lines Are Important.

trunk airmail lines that trains can
distribute the mail as rapidly as a
a special feeder company.
Every town in the United States
thinks it imperative that airmail
planes land at an airport" Mr..
Branch explains. "a great many of
these petitions may be granted
eventually. although our policy since
annulment of all airmail contracts,
after a controversy about rates more
than two years ago, Is to develop the
existing transcontinental and coastal
trunk lines, without dissipating funds
on feeders, until a trunk system is
fully developed" In most instances,
the north and south connecting lines
follow natural trade routes and may
themselves be termed trunk lines.
Too rapid growth under present
appropriations would penalize COM
panies already flying the mail, Post
once personnel believe. and in some
instances expansion must follow navi-
cation aids not yet installed in GER
tain sections - light beacons, radio
beam equipment and weather stations.

proposed feeder services might
find it too expensive to operate, espe-
cially In cases where one man with

world.
Standing in the way of airmail ex-
pansion today is the $500,oo0 deficit
on airmail this fiscal year, according
to Mr.. Branch. The deficit was ac-
cumulated when the Interstate Com
merce Commission raised rates on GER
tain lines, adding from 100000 to
$500 1000 expense to the post ONCE,
after Congress cut the appropriation
requested. $l2,50o, 900, by quarter
of million.
HOWEVER, representatives OF the
- post office will be parked on the
Capitol steps when Congress con-
venes in January, Mr.. Branch says
in hopes of having this deficit made
up by special legislation before the
end of this fiscal year.
Curtailment of scheduled airmail
service during the Spring and early
Summer months of 1887 will be. inev-

sion from firing.
The tube of one of these great
guns is the first thing forged. 1t
is full gun length. When 1t has
been forged and is cool, the first
jacket is made ready to 60 on.
This has been expanded for the
operation by heating in an cleo
trio furnace. AS soon as it has
been slipped over the tube the
whole is laid aside to cool. This
cooling shrinks the jacket onto
the tube with gripping force.
The tube and first jacket now

called for-are made ready and

route for three years under the terms
Of his contract before he can present
himself before the Interstate Com
merce Commission asking for change

ate underbidding.
Mr.. Branch points out that the
growing pains Of so great an under
taking as transporting by air 1871

crease of more than 10000 pounds
over 1885, are bound to be trouble

mail contracts were annulled, he said
that he recently ran across the record
of a postmaster of the last century
who was SO annoyed with the rail-
roads that he threatened to cancel
their mail contracts and go back to
the stage coach lines.
Besides lack of appropriations, ex-
tension of feeder service is prevented,
