An Oklahoma man has been arrest ed and sent to jail for stealing a hog from the penitentiary. There appears to be more crime to the square mile in Haskell's state than any common wealth in the Union. TheHogan Milling Co., of Junction City, Kansas, is contracting with farm ers to pay one dollar a bushel for wheat The "style" in price set by the Junction City firm is being fol lowed by other milling firms in Kan sas. Possibly PI unger Patten was cor rect when he stated that dollar wheat had come to stay for a year and per haps longer. Some queer people live in South Dakota. One of them is the champion mean man. He resides near Sioux Falls where cheap divorces are ground out by the district court This mean man has commenced an action for damages against one of his neighbors for allowing the wind to blow the oats he had sown across the line fence into a field of wheat In the discussion of the tariff bill in the senate, the Nebraska senators have voted with the genuine tariff reformers and any attempt on the part of the Bryanized press to discredit them will fail to convince the people that they should be classed with that bunch of southern democrats who vote for a tariff reform platform in a national convention and or high protective duties in the United States senate. As a tariff reform party the democrat ic party is a fraud. When a minister desires to attract attention to himself he usually preach es a sensational sermon for the Asso ciated Press correspondent to send out The latest candidate for senatorial honors is Rev. I. Haldeman, a New York minister who predicts a world wide war in the near future be tween science and religion. In the conflict, the Rev. Haldeman declares, religion and the bible will be banished from the world and science become the god of the nations. James J. Hill, in a recent address at Seattle, in commenting on the pop ular craze for enacting more laws, advised his countrymen to stop passing laws and open a campaign of law enforcement It is generally known that Nebraska has a law against keep ing saloons open on Sundays. The law is a good one, and no citizen has a just cause for complaint when the law is enforced. But the liquor law is about the only Sunday law that is obeyed in Nebraska at present, for the reason that there is a demand for its enforcement There is also a law against sporting, quarreling, hunting, fishing or performing unnecessary work on Sundays. These laws are openly violated, and yet no effort has been made during the campaign for morality to enforce them. It will be recalled by men old enough to remember that General Grant was charged with using intoxi cating liquor to excess during the war. - The charge first appeared' in such cop perhead sheets as the Chicago Times, New York World and "Brick" Pom roy's Deatocrat Later, when Grant became president, the story of his eoavtval habits was revided. And now v cornea General O. O. Howard, in an address delivered in Chicago on Dec ration day, and refutes what many believed to be true concerning the habits ofj General Grant At Bridge port, Alabama, during the war, Grant accepted an invitation to occupy How ard's sleeping apartment There was a whisky flask, hanging on the wall of Ike room, and Howard apologised to his Mperior for its presence, saying: "I never ase it myself. This whisky was probably left there by aoase sol dstr." Grant answered: "Neither do Ijasa it, and what is more I am sorry ythatany nun In the army does." ADMIRES DAHLMAN. "When the time comes I hope it will be my pleasure to be called upon to make a few speeches for yoa for gov ernor. I am ooeof yoor admirersand wonld.be delighted to see yon a brother governor' writes Governor Johnson of Minnesota, to Mayor James Dahl man of Omaha. Mayor Dahlman has announced that he will be a candidate to succeed Gov ernor Shallenberger. July 5, the date the Dahlman democracy have planned to hold their annual picnic, u the time set for launching his boom. The candidacy of Dahlman will probably force the Bryan and Shal lenberger factions to unite in opposing the Omaha statesman, and if they do they are liable to hear something drop in the contest for senator and the object that strikes the earth and flat tens out will not be the" mayor of Omaha. No man in Nebraska has been more abused by the small bore politicians of his own party than Dahlman. And in abusing Dahlman the small bores have displayed a hatred for Omaha and Omaha people that has resulted in uniting the people of Douglas county in support of Dahlman. Since Gover nor Shallenberger became popular in Lincoln for signing the daylight bill he has treated his party in Omaha with contempt in the effort to court the political good will of the republi cans and retain the element that assist ed in electing him governor. Bryan always a trimmer is at tempting to play the good fellow with Shallenberger and Dahlman, but both factions are suspicious of the one time "Fearless" Leader. But mutual in terest will probably bring the Shallen berger machine and the Bryan shout ers together in a united effort to put Dahlman out of commission. But Omaha's mayor is a scrapper in a political fight and a field marshal in organizing against his enemies, and Bryan and Shallenberger realize this, and hope by declaring a truce and uniting their strength that they will be able to defeat him. Bryan is still inoculated with the idea that he can secure the seat now held by Burkett in the senate with the assistance of the Shallenberger machine. Senator Burkett is making a hard fight for free lumber, in the interest of his Nebraska constituents. Following is a part of his speech on the subject: "In making a tariff bill we must con sider the best interests of the greatest number of people of this country. In my opinion it is of more importance to the people, it will build up more indus tries, and it will enable the people to support more industries, if they can have their lumber cheaper. I am one of those who believe that by putting lumber on the free list it will reduce the price of lumber to the consumers in this country, and if it does not I am here to ask the question which I asked the senator from Washington several days ago, when he was making- his speech: If it will not reduce the price of lumber, why are the people repre senting those states wherein lumber is located so much concerned about the proposition to reduce the tariff? In making this bill of 1909 we ought at least to bring it up to 1909. When we put logs on the free list, and that was a good many years ago, ifmight have,been possible to float them down the river. But conditions have chang ed since that time. When the timber got farther lck from the streams they had to manufacture it to meet the requirements of the transportation facilities. It was quite natural under the protective theory that the rate on finished lumber should be higher than on rough lumber. But today we have gotten as far away from the rough lumber as we are from the log proposi tion. You cannot buy a stick pf rough lumber today in the retail yards of the Mississippi valley, and that condition has prevailed for ten years. Why? Because the lumber manufacturers have found that it is more profitable to handle finished lumber than rough lumber. They have found that thev can save more in freight rates than it costs to finish it So when you reduce the rate on rough lumber and leave a differential on finished lumber you are begging the entire question, because the rough lumber is not of any import ance in the lumber controversy. In my opinion this differential on lumber is simply a humbug. A good man passed away at his home in Fullerton on June 2. His funeral was held last Friday and a thousand people followed his remains to the grave. For fifty years Rev. R. K. Pierce had served bis master and the people faithfully and well. Men tally equipped to have taken his place among the great divines of the country and commanded a salary of thousands of dollars a year, yet be cast his lot with the common people. Asa platform orator be had no equal in this part of Nebraska, and was the equal of any man in the state in his chosen profession. But above all be was a I good man a Christian gentleman who reognised no creed or nationality in bis work. He labored for the welfare.of humanity. Where skknemrand dis tress prevailed in his community, there yoa woald find Rev. R. KPierce fol lowing the example set by his" Master more than eighteenth hundred years ago. Peace to his ashes. ' rr REVISION-WHICH WAY? Senator Lodge, always faithful to the Massachusetts cotton and wool manufactures declared in the senate hut Tuesday that there has been no in tention or promise of a downward re vision of the tariff. Senator Aldrich had previously signified the same opin ion. In the west at least; no man who went through the last campaign awake doubted that the republicans, expected to revise the tariff downward. How can men high in the. national councils make assertions so glaringly contrary to the obvious facts? The senators who take this position rely for technical justification, no doubt, on the national platform. This promised revision "by the imposition of such duties as will equal the differ erence between the cost of production at home and abroad." This does not specify that the changes shall be down ward. Political platforms are usually made subject to liberal construction in order that all sections and interests may please themselves with it In the ab sence of established facts bearing on the difference between cost of produc tion at home and abroad a politician in a cotton, wool, lumber, steel, sugar or glass manufacturing district might tell his people that Jhis tariff plankri meant higher duties for them, while the farmers might be assured it meant revision downward for them. No doubt this is what Aldrich and Lodge told their business proteges. That is one place where the tariff as a local is-, sue comes in. But there is one representative of party and interpreter of its promises who stands not far a section of an in terest, but for the party and country as a whole. His utterances, more than platforms or the words of senators de notes a party policy. The man is the party candidate for president In his acceptance speech Mr. Taft said: "The tariff in a number of schedules .exceeds the difference between the cost of production of such articles at home and abroad." At Cincinnati last Sept ember he said: "On the whole the tariff ought to be lowered." At Mil waukee two days later he said: "In practically every case in which ade quate protection has been given the necessity for maintaining the tariff at the former fate has ceased." These and many similar utterances of the presidential candidate look like the promise and intention of downward revision. The senators and represen tatives with interests to serve may de cline to be bound by a president's pro mise. Well, then, no more needs the veto vested president to be bound by their performances. Lincoln Journal. STATE INSPECTION OF FARMS. In the current issue of a technical journal, F. W. Fitzpatrick of Wash ington, but formerly of Dulutb, makes the iugenius suggestion that farm lands ought to be closely inspected, if uot actually controled, by the state. The suggestion is almost startling, and will naturally meet with consider able hostility, yet it is not one that Should be cast aside without proper consideration. It is based upon the knowledge that present methods of farming are, in altogether too many cases, robbing the soil of its fertility just as surely as continued shipments from a mine tend to leave nothing but "a hole in the ground." Since the public's welfare, and even its existence, depends upon maintaining the produc tiveness of the soil, surely this is a proper subject for the exertion of the public authority, through the agencies of government It is most assuredly a matter for public concern, and therefore a mat ter for public action, that the wheat yield in Minnesota, for instance, should have dropped from better than twenty five bushels to the acre in lew than a generation to twelve bushels to the acre, and should be still going down. Here is a matter that, will bear thinking about There can be no pri vate right that is greater than a pub lic need. Duluth Herald. AN ORDINARY KANSAS MAN. A Kansas woman, while in New York last summer with her husband, visited Lake Chautauqua. She wanted a veil, and held out her hand to her husband for money. He just laid his pocketbook in her hand and walked unconcernedly around the store. "My." ejaculated the clerk, "and he never asked you how much yon wanted nor what you were going to do with it You ought to hear the arguments that they get into right here some times when a woman asks a man for money. My, but you ought to be thankful to have a husband like that" "Ob, I don't know," she returned nonchalantly, "he is just a Kansas Kansas City Journal. 1 hat's the style out there." THE LIBERTY ARSENAL BY W. The Liberty arsenal played a part in the history of the West and of the nation. The arsenal was established by the United States government in 1837 on the river three miles south of Liberty in Clay county, Missouri. i Up to the closing days in 1855 it was mere ly a military store house wearing an aspect of peace-scarcely comporting with its warelike character. In that year there was war on the plans of Kansas. It was the Wakarusa war, bloodless but important Historians state with striking unanimity that the first gun of the great Civil war was fired at-Fort Sumter. Rightly under stood, the first military maneuver, if not the first shot, occurred on the Wakarusa and the arsenal at Liberty contributed the arms. The report was widely circulated along the border counties of Missouri that legal processes could not be ex ecuted in the adjoining territory of Kansas, clearly indicating the need of Missouri prowess-on the ground. It was in December, 1855 but the weath er was fine such weather in the late autumn as invited an active pioneer Missourian to take any kind of ft camp ing out excursion;-all the better if it had a military flavor and was sanc tioned by a patriotic motive. The Missourians had been accustomed to live almost constantly in a military at mosphere. They had fought in wars with the Indians;- they had driven out the Mormons, they had conquered Mexico; they had hunted buffalo in the territory before any white settle ments were made; they had gone over there to vote at the 'first opportunity; and now an excursion to Kansas was especially attractive. The Missour ians began .to assemble joyously at Westport and in that vicinity, bringing squirrel rifles and such shooting irons as could be found in the country: But arms were scarce and it was under stood that the Kansans were provided with Sharp's rifles, a very efficient weapon in those days. Therefore the suggestion to borrow arms and am munition from the storehouse at Liber ty became popular as soon as made. About 100 eager and enterprising Missourians repaired to the Liberty arsenal and brought away three brass field pieces, mounted, 100 dragoon pistols, fifty-five rifles, sixty-seven sa bers and ammunition in abundance. The company thus equipped was a wel come addition to the army forming at Westport The whole excursion mo ved into Kansas and a camp was form ed on the Wakarusa. Just before Christmas the Missourians broke camp and returned, to their homes. The weather turned suddenly cold and the e ah .a sb . river began to nil witn floating ice. Colonel Routh of Clay county spent the 24th day of December, 1855, in the work of crossing the river at the Kansas City ferry with the men and the arms beloLging to the arsenal. The arms had been "borrowed" of the government and all were returned. The United States government was very friendly to the Missourians in their operations against Kansas and no Missourian would throw his govern ment in a bad light by failing to return the property he had borrowed. After this episode the arsenal re lapsed into the somnolence of peace for some years. 'On April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter was attacked. The news created intense and rancorous excite ment along the- Missouri counties bordering the territory of Kansas. All eyes were turned on the arsenal at Liberty, a point no less subject to seiz ure than Fort Sumpter itself. Within three days after the fall of Fort Sump ter itself, President Lincoln called for 75,000 troops. To the Missouri ans that was a declaration of war and there was an instantaneous response in day and Jackson counties, but in a manner antagonistic to Lincoln's pur pose. Some 200 men proceeded en masse and almost without leaders to the arsenal for the purpose of seizing and carrying away everything that could be useful in war. Three brass field pieces, mounted, were taken; and twelve six-pounders, not mounted; 1,180 muskets, 121 carbines, 243 rifles, 923 pistols, 419 sabers, 12,700 pounds I of power for cannon, muskets and j DEMOCRATS FOR PROTECTION. Georgia's representation in congress consists of ekrea dessocrais: seven of them voted for a tariff on lumber. Texas has sixteen democrats in congress; fourteen of them voted for a tariff on hides; two of the fourteen also voted lor a tariff on lumber. Louisiana's delegation is six demo crats; all sixof them voted for a tariff on lumber; two of them voted also for a tariff on hides; two of them voted maststeatly wilh the republican machine on matters of organization, the coasideratioa, presumably, being the high tariff which the Payne bill put L. WEBB. rifles, 400,000 cartridges, caissons, ae contrements and equipemeats for cav alry and infantry. The arms were not borrowed bat were taken openly as an act of war. The arsenal was uagaarded. It was in charge of Natbanal Grant, military storekeeper, who could only yield under protest The contents of the arsenal were distributed all over the country. Every man took what he could carry away on horseback. The muskets, rifles and revolvers were hid den for time in cellars and outbuild ings or buried in boxes. The bush whackers bad not at this time been organised but they succeeded in get ting a large share of the arsenal spoils. The State Guards soldiers secured a share. One of the brass field pieces was conveyed to Independence and presently was secreted in the woods on the Little Blue. A considerable amount of the captured arms went to Kansas City' where two or three com panies of soldiers, acting under the state law, were accustomed to parade and drill once or twice a week. These companies took no part in the capture of the Liberty arsenal, about half of whom went with the South and about half with the North daring the war that followed. The spoils from the Liberty arsenal brought to Kansas City became the source of anxiety, requiring much secrecy. The nominal leaders in the capture of the Liberty arsenal were Henry L. Routh of Clay county, Captain Mc Murray of Independence and George S. Moorman of Kansas City. Moor man was a youug Iawter, a man of some ability. He' is accredited to this day with baviug planned and executed the capture of the arsenal by the very few men now living in Kansas City who took rt in the expedition. He' took part in the dreadful affair at Rock creek aud was afterwards em ployed in the Confederate service, rising to some distinction. . The capture of the Liberty arsenal was the first aggressive movement in the West against the United States. Certain friends of the South complain ed that the attack on the Liberty arsenal was premature and prevented the capture of the arsenal at St Louis, but the fear entertained on the border counties was that forces would come down from Leavenworth or elsewhere in Kansas and secure 'the arsenal for the government-' Within three weeks after the cap ture of the arsenal at Liberty,, the state troops at Camp Jackson in St Louis were surrounded by Captain Lyon and forced to surrender. The arsenal at St. Louis was believed to be in peril by the presence of the state guards. This fear was founded on the fact that arms and ammunition which had been seized at the United States arsenal at Baton Rouge had been received by General Frost, commander of Camp Jackson. The shipment of these arms had been made by the steamboat J. C. Swan. Frank P. Blair and Captain Lyon believed, therefore, that General Frost meditat ed an attack in the name of the state on the arsenal at St Louis. The fear was probably groundless, though very reasonabfe, in view of the seizure at Liberty, which it was believ ed had the sanction and possibly the backing of Governor Jackson. The state authorities probably had nothing whatever to do with the seizure of the Liberty arsenal, inasmuch as nothing was turned over to the state troops or to any agent of the state. But there can hardly be any doubt that the capture of Camp Jackson was directly the result of the seizure of the Liberty arsenal. There was no resistance what ever to Captain Lyon's demand for the surrender of Camp Jackson. As Lyon marched through the streets of St. Louis with his prisoners the sidewalks were crowded with the excited popu lace and there was jeering, and insults were directed towards Lyon's troops, certain companies of which were com posed of Germans. The troops were provoked to fire into the crowd and a number of people were killed. This unfortunate affair rendered war inevi table in the state of Missouri, and the bitterness engendered continued for a long tiaie after the war was over. on sugar. Florida has three congressman, all democrats; two of these voted for a tar iff on lumber. Virginia has ten congressman, nine of them democrats; five of the nine voted for a tariff on lumber. North Carolina has seven democrats congressmen; all but o ne of them voted for a tariff on lumber. Collier's Week- ta Thin. Pearl Clarence boasts that he wrapped ap ia himself. Ruby Gracious!

English Dislike of Humor. It is sometimes a matter for won der that humorists are allowed to live in this country. Deep down in our English character is a conscious dis like of laughter. Laughter is an ex pression of emotloB, and we have a horror of it It may be that this se cret objection to the comic muse is a surviving relic of the sturdy old Purl tanlsm which has done so much for the race In. many directions and handi capped itJIn others. When Disraeli began to be prominent in the house of commons it used to be said of him that, though he was a very amusing fellow and made the house laugh, he could never hope to take rank as a statesman. Lord Randolph Churchill went through exactly the same ex perience in his early days. Few peo ple would admit that a man who ex pressed himself humorously had any claim to be taken seriously. Black and White. The Second Fiddle. The second fiddle is, on the whole, the most widely played of all Instru ments fortunately, since it is so espe cially the instrument of harmony. A great many men have an aptitude for the second fiddle, and where they take it up at once, without too much vain experimenting, with more preten tions parts, they find much satisfac tton in it There is plenty of poor work done with the second fiddle. though. Men who are forced to it by marrying or other mischance are very likely to play badly. A master of the second fiddle is not the least among masters, and he has, besides, the promise of Inheriting the earth. Puck. Inexparianctd Servants.
