Even, right la the middle of Main street it is a more cheering sight to jthe farmer or business man right no' than, a dry brick pavement. . And the Kansas' wheat crop has ' lad another "saving" that ought by 'all rights last for at least lour weeks. Incidentally, we might reiterate the statement thatthe- Kansas wheat crop has the nine lies of a cat, and 8 tfnsuual thing it has use for all of them. , To date, we have heard no great amount of complaint that the crop Cleveland Leader, published at Cleve (s being ruined by the rust. The pro-iland. Ohio, and one of, the leading fessional crop killer will soon get in I Moose papers of the country, his work on that issue, however, and Qas a the writing on the wall and the next killing will be the fly., j Is now editorially urging the follow- " . 2ts of the lordly moose to get back We have Coburn's word for it, he under the banner of the G. O. P. ver, that Kansas will harvest at Evidently D. R. Hanna, the owner of least one hundred and twenty-five million bushels of wheat this summer and the chances are that the afore mentioned gentleman's guess is about , correct Which will mean that the farmers of the state will have something like a hundred million dollars of wheat money to put into circulation this fall and winter. And there is not another class of people on earth who put their money into circulation with more cheerfulness than the Kansas farmers, which will mean that busi aess will be good in all lines' for when the farmer in this section of the country tightens up on his purse strings, a big dark blue cloud begins to loom up in front of the average business man. The town man can joke about the farmer if he wants to, but he Is con siderable of a chump if he does so, for without the farmer, what would becoite of the towns? Incidentally, we might note that the trip of Secretary of State Bryan to California did not seem to be con ductive to the results he anticipated, as both branches of the legislative house of that state passed the bill to prevent the Japanese from holding land, which looks to us like a good move on the part of California, even . if Uncle Sam does have toj whip the J stnffin' nut of th Jans in Order to I If .H.V Hrrfinartlv J mighty peaceable citizen, but it .w - .ii.fi h n coo a lit- tl ,n,-ntrv lik.

Republican Leader Mann says that this country is going to the dogs since the duty has been removed from wool. We wonder if the gen- ..

So long as a man can take pleasure in wearing a Stetson, he need never be afraid of growing old. GREAT BEND tleman ever took the trouble to fig ore out just what per cent of the wool used lo this country was produc- here and what per cent was im ported. Where the admission of wocl duty free will injure a few people it will benefit thousands. But the history of the Republican party has been that they were working in the interests of the classes instead of the masses. We note by the Hutchinson papers that a whiskey "spotter' was badly beaten up there last week. Which J notice does not arouse any great feel ing of pity in our usually sympathet ic breast. The average whiskey spot ter is entitled to all the beatings he gets. We have no use for a boot legger, and If anything, less than tha amount for a spotter. The dispatches state that The the paper, has had a change of heart since contributing $177,000 to Roose velt's campaign fund last fall. Which is another indication that the progress of the third party is not as great as could be desired by the leaders of the movement The new 1913 laws as passed by the last session of the legislature April 30. Wonder how many of them have been broken or at least badly cracked by the average citizen? How is this for going the limit on the passage! of laws? The city cou& cil of South Norwalk, Conn., have passed an ordinance that it shall be deemed a misdemeanor to hug, kiss, ipoon in any way, or even loiter on any stone wall, fence, church 6teps or entrance, or on any curb or gutter within tin city limits. Such an in ovation coming from staid old Con necticutt is certainly startling. The Salina Union speaks a whole mouthful in the following: "It would be well for the public to keep an eye on those statesmen who are so anxious to muzzle the newspapers by regulation, inspection, supervision and censorship. The man who lives in constant dread of being bawled out by the press must have quite a load of some sort on his conscience.'

He says one of the reasons for his dis appearance was. that he was in finan cial trouble. A man ornery enough to desert his family in a time like that ought to be dead for true. Ed Howe rises to remark that Wall street seems to be worrying along all right without J. P. .Morgan, but that his demise must have been an awful jolt to the European art deal ers. And still the militant suffragettes in old England continue to make things interesting for the high lords of the kingdom. Being a member of Parliament is not without its compen sations but we should imagine that the Job must -be a little wearisoms during these stirring times over there. But at that, it cannot be said that it lacks spice or variety. And the above reminds us that the suffragettes of this great and noble state will meet ta convention in Law rence on the 19th and 20th of this month. It is not thought, however. that any of the scenes common to the gatherings of the English suffra gettes will attend the meeting. Senator Thompson cannot say that he is not meeting with recognition over the entire United States.
