Murdock claims the leadership, was really nothing, so far as the Fitzgerald motion was concerneu, save a sligntly amplified ratification of what the house had agreed two weeits before in the previous -congress, and with which the Eighth district Kansas member had no more to do than you who may read this. Bv their vote against Cannon, the caucus nominee; "by their vote against the Fitzgerald motion; by their general running around in a circle for the last six months, Murdock and his associates have themselves very nicely balled up. They have attracted attention, and have con-vineed some people of their great and conspicuous abtlity. They have given forth statements, have talked- all the time, but have got no definite, tangible result to show to the country for, all their bluster. On the other hand the like Scott, CampbeH; and who really helped work out a substantial, merited and conceded amendment t6v the rules -giving' greater freedom to members, are entitled to Mr.

Murdock may- be a "genuis" but be is no "leader." Xew York City this week, was, when he lived in Kansas, of the big, brainy men' of the state.

Every family here ought to keep some Diapepsin.in the house, as any one of you may have an attack of Indigestion or Stomach trouble at any time, day or night. This harmless preparation will digest anything you eat and overcome a sour stomach nve minutes afterwards. If your meals don't tempt you, or what little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in.

your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent case of Pape's Di a pep sin and take one triangule after supper tonight. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigested food mixed With acid, no stom ach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling In the. stothlch, Xausea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or 'Intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors.

Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure for all stomach misery, because it 'will take hold of your food and digest it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Actual, prompt relief for all your stomach misery is at your Pharmacist, waiting for you. These, large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to cure a case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

If it will tend to relieve the good Major's jnind on this point the editor of The 'Times1 will ay that he preferred to fol low the openly expressed advice of President Taft and of Mr. Hitchcock the chairman of the republican national committee and vote for the control of the lower house of coogress by the friends of the admin- 'istration, rather than turn things over to the democratic minority and a few bolters of the Gardner-Cooper variety.

Crancer, mayor of the city of Leavenworth, a duly certified copy of the action of the board of education of the city of Leavenwortn, showinc a necessity and giving a state- ment of the estimated cost of the construction and furnishing a new building for the installation of ManuaF Training i and Domestic Science Departments in the THE FIGHT NOT YET WON. Newspapers ail over the state are handing out words of praise for the manner in Which the people of this city at Monday's primaries endorsed the commission form of government and a business administration.

But let us remember that the fight for continued good government is not yet won There is to be another battle of ballots on election day, and this will decide finally whether' the business interests of this city will continue to exercise control over the affairs of the city, or whether we shall go back to the old conditions of high taxes, and empty treasury, and a long list of useless employes "on the city pay roll. The character of government which Leavenworth will have during the next two years is a matter of vital importance to every resident in this city, whether or not he or fehe be a property owner. Given those conditions Where everybody has confidence, where everybody feels that Leavenworth is the best town in the state because the best managed, and we shall get on handsomely. To go back, as the election of Stance Myers would most certainly signify, will leave us worse off than before. Don't count the election as won.

to the polls next Tuesday and vote for good government. VOTE FOR MANUAL TRAINING. The manual training school proposi tion should carry next Tuesday at the city election. There is no question that a discussion of the purposes and advan tages of such an institution has created a stronglyincreased sentiment for add ing" such a school to the publio school system in Leavenworth. No matter how thorough may be the instruction in our schools as they are at present main tained, graduation from them leaves the pupil entirely unequipped to take up anjjr practical work, unless knowledge of a practical character is acquired at home and during the summer months, which is rarely the case.

We should strive to cultivate in the children of Leavenworth not only a realization tat they must at some time take their place in the World and do their share of the world's work, but a liking for work and a desire to turn their energies to worthy account. That in short is the service which a man ual training and domestic science school will perform, and doing it such an in stitution will be worth ten times the proposed cost of it. Vote for the manual training school. Don't for get! Leavenworth should have an advertis ing club. An organization similar to those which.

-have lately been formed in Tepeka and Atchison would benefit us Something should be done to increase our trade territory and the number of patrons who come to this city from outside, and here an Ad club would be a great benefit. It is no longer disputed that advertising pays, and it is also literally true that it pays in proportion to the thoroughness with which it is done. Leavenworth merchants are paying more money for advertising than ever before, and they are getting better results out of it. They would get still more if they might band together into an association for the discussion of advertising means and methods, and make a study of the possibilities of advertising. The death in the electric chair in New York of a woman who committed a brutal murder has revived a discussion of capital punishment and the question as to whether its application is a deterrent of crime.

Another side which should receive as much attention is wether it is not more humane to put first -degree murderers out of the way than to keep them behind prison walls for the remainder of their lives. To many men and women who have been guilty of capital offenses 'death would be a welcome relief from the horror of imprisonment for Attorney General Jacson eame back to Kansas from Washington recently with the statement that the Payne tariff bill proposed a reduction of the beer tax, though this measure in reality would have left the tax what it is at present. He also spread the inference that the Kansas delegation would vote for the reduced tax. The other day Congressman Scott on the floor of the house contended for an increased tax on beer, And there you The Lawrence Journal remarks that "After all the fuss and cheap demogogy the last legislature cost $9,000 less than its predecessor and spent less money to run the state. It was the most economical legislature Kansas ever had." It wity be just as well, however, to withhold some of this praise until it is found out whether we are to have a special session.

Kansas which, insists upon knowing the whole truth has found that relatives of the kidnaped Whitla boy live in this state. And now it is alarmed that there will be another kidnaping here. Which emphasizes the truth of a more or less recent1, observation to the effect that "What you don't know won't hurt you." The question of whether tobacco can be grown in Kansas is, however, not exciting so much interest as how to raise cigarette papers since the anti-cigarette law went into effect. Because of two or three acts of a fool legislature the people of Oklahoma threaten to start something that will make the Indian uprising down that way look like slap-stick vaudeville. William Allen White is going to depart for Europe in a day or two.

Kansas will wish him a pleasant journey and a safe return home. Quite to Be Expected. Political gossip connects Speaker Dolley and others with having formulated, constructed and reared a machine for the purpose of doing business two years hence in the senatorial race. There always is suspicion that those in power are erecting fences, repairing and strengthening their positions with a view to other campaigns and engagements. It is not likely those who Won in the primaries in the state last August are different than others or less alert to the proposition that eternal vigilance is the price of political supremacy.

It is quite to be expected then that he biggest and best plum in the orchard of politics has attracted the attention of Governor Stubbs and his followers. The success which came to them in the primaries and later at the polls did not intoxicate or befuddle their minds to the extent that they have rested on their labors and ceased to plan or formulate for a contest on fields not yet reached. Neither must it be presumed that the apparent impregnable position and hold of Senator Curtis will be a barrier or stone wall to the ambitious and victorious. The -expression leaking ouV. through the newspapers close to the senator warrant Ithe conjecture that they sniff the battle from afar.

Seneca Tribune. Taxation of Mortgages. From the Atlanta Constitution. Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, has vetoed a bill proposing to relieve mortgages jfrom taxation to the extent, at least, of substituting for the ad valorem tax a registration fee of 50 cents per $100 of face value of the mortgage. His reason Is based upon the fact that mortages are property under the Kansas state law, and the constitution provides that property shall be tuved at, a uniform At the same time, Governor Stubbs states in another portion of his message theut he appreciates the necessity of "establishing a just and scientific method of taxation of mortgaged property, so that the debtor and creditor will each pay their just share according to their respective interest in the property." Governor Stubbs also concludes that the regristration fee provided for would be paid in one way" or another by the borrower, and that the benefit from the exemption of mortages from taxation would inure wholly to the man who lends the money.

The question of the exemption of mortgages from taxation is an old one. The contention is, on the one hand, that taxation both of the property and the mortgage standing against it is in the nature of double taxation; on the other, that -the mortgaged article is one thing and the mortgage another, both being property, hence subject to taxation. The Georgia law and the Kansas law are identical. Mortgages are property in Georgia, therefore, under the constitution, taxes must be paid upon them. But they are personal property and subject to taxation at the domicile of the holder.

This is where the non-resident has the advantage over the resident in loaning money in this state, because, while the resident must pay taxes on whatever evidences of indebtedness he holds, the non-resident may or may not pay them in his home state, depending upon the law and his conscience. The Georgia law appears, therefore, to be a discrimination against the home capitalist. It is in practice, even though it may not be so in theory. The -Question arises also as tb whether or not it is any discrimination against the borrowed. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, discussing the question, calls attention to the practical exemption of mortgages in that state, and says it is hardly to be denied that a generally' lower rate of interest to the borrower has resulted.

"The interest reduction," It continues, "may not equal the full extent of the tax reduction, but the general effect of the exemption has been to make conditions easier for the realty borrower, and it cannot be abolished without making those conditions harder." There is no doubt that whether the tax is paid on mortgages or not in many instances it is evaded both by residents and non-residents, in their respective states it is still a factor in the making of interest rates. The state's income from mortgages, therefore, is quite limited, if not insig nificant. "The question of exemption of mortgages has not, of late, been seriously agitated in Georgia, but in view of the foregoing conditions, it may be well to give these facts careful consideration in any future revision of the state's tax system that may be attempted. That revision of some sort must come at no distant day can scarcely be a subject of argument. Sioo Reward, $ico.

716 Cherokee street, Leavenwortn Kan. Galend owners. Notice to Property Owners City Clerk's Office, Leavenworth, Kansas. March 24th, 1909. Ycu and each of you are hereby notified that at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the city of Leavenworth, held in the city hall of said city at their usual meeting place on the 23rd day of March, 1909, the following resolution was unanimously adopted, namely: RESOLUTION.

Be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of the city of Leavenworth, Kansas. That it is necessary to regrade and pave Ottawa street from the west line of Main street, commonly called the North Esplanade, to the east line of Fifth street in the city of Leavenworth. The grading to consist of the surfacing of the street to inches below the established grade of said street for a hydraulic cement base, or 914 inches for a Portland cement The paving to be of one course of vitri-the same material, and at the same time the contiguous portions of said street are BENTE lines for domestic business and a division ot profits between interstate and local business. The result of the Leavenworth and Topeka case would have no effect jwbjatever upon the other cases." As a matUr of fact any case involv- ing the fairness of a reasonable freight or passenger rate for Kansas, would be absolutely ridiculous by application and testing on the Leavenworth Topeka This road is simply two streaks of rast owned jointly by the Santa Fe and the -Union Jfacifie and operated by jthem under system which diverts all paying business between these points pver the regular lines of the roads in question. The L.

T. railroad is operat-; fed to drive traflio away from it and no matter how high the freight or passenger Tate It wouldn't be enough to make this jToad pay. tA. test case of the Leavenworth To- 5eka railroad is a confidence game pure and simple. THE, TRUTH ABOUT MTJRDQCK." Under the foregoing caption, Ralph who was on the ground in Washington when the light took place, has the -following in his paper, the Garden City Telegram, about the insurgents' battle: It is time someone -told the truth about the Murdock incident.

The Eighth, district member of congress is a great leader in the, newspapers and in the minds of a pood, many deluded and mistaken Kan-sans W'J do not understand the situation. 4 Mo one in Washington ever called him a leader. Mr. Murdock's chief duty among the insurgents was to give out the dope." Victor Murdock is not a leader. He lias no qualifications as such.

Washington knows he has. none, for they see things about as quickly in the capital as anywhere else. The newspapermen at the capital appreciate this fact. But in Kansas, it is different, and the popular conception seems to be that of Cannon proa-' trate; of Murdock with his feet on Uncle Joe's chest, while the latter begs for mercy. This would make them in Washington.

There was no great victory over tne fules. The rules are almost precisely what they were for a month before tne congress adjourned on March 4. At that time, not only with the consunt and entire willingness of the house leadership and the speaker, but as a matter of conceded justice, the calendar day was created that there might be one day in the week when bills could -be taken from the calendar automatically and without asking the consent of the speaker. This was a victory, weeks before the alleged Murdock "victory," but the Eighth district member had no more to do with the former occurrence than with the latter, Mr. Scott, Mr.

Campbell, and Mr. An th- ony helped shape thte original provision for a calendar day and greater freedom a the house, and Mr. Murdock flatly tool-out against such relief at the time. Beote Nurseries High school, and asking that the question of the issuance of bonds by the Board of Education to pay the cost of such building and furnishing be submitted to the qualified electors of the city school district, of which the following is a cop v. towit: "Mr.

Winnig. ehairman special committee appointed to consider plans for the installation of manual training and domestic science departments in the high school presented the following: 'Whereas, Manual training and domestic science are now distinctive features in all first class school systems throughout the state; these departments have not been made a part of the public education of the city of Leavenworth for the reason that sufficient room is not afforded in the hign school building and funds are not available for the installation of those branches of education, and whereas the board has caused an estimate to be made of the costs of a building and of installing and equipping manual training and domestic science such estimated Cost being the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars Now, therefore. Be it resolved. That it is necessary to construct a building in this city, and furnish the same at a cost of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) as ascertained by the estimate made; and that to pay for such cost it is necessary to issue installment bonds of the said board, to tne amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) in sums of five hundred dollars ($500.00) each, payable in not more than twenty-five years, two of said bonds being payable each year and bearing interest not to exceed four per cent per annum, and that the question of the issue of such bonds be submitted to the vote of the electors of this city at the next regular election to be held April sixth.
