IMC NEW A CROW- SHRIKE SPENT A MONTH BUILDING AVvJSVF-WQONEST. USING WIRE AS MATERIAL THE WIRES WERE STOLEN FROM A WORKSHOP. THE BULGARIAN UPSET. Another melancholy commentary on the futility of the war which was to make the world safe for democracy is afforded by the overthrow of parliamentary government which occurred in Bulgaria last week. Without notice, without preliminary disturbance of any kind so far as the rest of the world knew, different detachments of the Bulgarian army quietly and without firing a shot took over the government, not cf the nation only but of the cities and Villages.

The King was not disturbed, doubtless because he promptly signed on the dotted line the thirty or more decrees that were placed before him and that were required to abolish the old government and bring in the new. The movement was doubtless fascist in its inspiration and purpose. The communists have been making a great deal of trouble in Bulgaria lately, electing mayors In towns and villages and sending an increasing number of representatives to parliament. Political factionalism was spreading everywhere, with growing threat of public disorder, and so somebody, probably a group of high-up army officers, concluded to take things into their own hands and establish a government that could do things. So (until the next revolution) there will be no more parliament in Hungary, no more elections in cities, towns or villages, no more communist hell-raising, no more free press or free speech.

Democ racy will be made safe by being put in jail. Apparently there was a manifesto issued to the people to explain the reason for the change in government. It declared that it was made necessary by the complete failure of the system of party government as the result of the extreme splitting up of political groups into in ternal struggles and political quarrels. The announcement said this situation sowed the seeds of trouble, demoralized the masses of the people, and hampered the normal functioning of the institutions of' the state, making it impossible to create a stable government able to face the grave economic problems which confronted the country. That manifesto is a reminder of a good many editorials which have appeared from time to time in the Iola Register.

This newspaper has often pointed out the harmful re suits that would follow the breaking up of our two great political parties into a lot of little minority blocks or groups. Bulgaria has turned what was a conjecture into a fact. CAMEL-HAIR. BROSHE ARE NOT MADE OF CAMEL'S HAIR.

It even became necessary to use force in some districts to have the queues removed. NEXT: How high did the shells of the BU Bertha cannon so and promptly clapped him into the brig as a spy. The very fact that the young Mexican flier could speak the language so well even further convinced the colonel that he was a spy.

Student fliers- do some strange things, wheri; they take their first (boss-country1 flights. The latest tafe to work its way this far north from the Air Corps training schools at San Antonio concerns a certain Mexican, an officer in the Mexican army, who took the course of training as a guest of the United States. That officer was sent from San Antonio to El Paso, but en route he wandered from his course and landed, eventually, deep in Old Mexico. Instead of being welcomed as a conquering hero, however, he was met by a colonel who commanded an army garrison in the little town They are talking now of holding a- Kansas World Fair in 1941, with different exhibits placed in different towns.

50 YEARS AGO Editorial and News Items from The Iola Register of May 24, 1884 Kansas City is rapidly assuming metropolitan airs. An' elevated railroad company has already been formed, and an' illustrated weekly paper is to be started about the first of June. The recent burning of the Methodist and Presbyterian church at Wichita, presumably by the 'saloon keepers, while it cannot be condemned too strongly, is yet a good sign, for it shows that prohibition is getting on top. Such desperate means are never resorted to, except by the despairing advocates' of a hopelessly lost cause. If this wiping out of value goes on much longer the government will have two or three long lines of railroad on its The Uniop Pacific will probably be the first white mule of this kind to seek the she! ter of a government stable.

CHRIST FOR ALL-ALL FOR CHRIST Bible Thought for Today SAFEGUARDED: He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11. THE NEVV SILVER BILL The silver bill finally agreed upon after numerous conferences between the President and the silver bloc in Congress is said to provide tor monetization and natlonaliza-iion of silver whatever those resounding words may mean. The bill would authorize and direct the President to buy silver at a.

price not to exceed 50 cents an ounce (it is now selling around 45 cents) until he has built up a silver monetary reserve of 25 per cent in relation to 75 per cent gold. Under the provisions of the bill the government would take over all free silver stock except silver coins, fabricated metal arid silver used under commercial licenses, the same procedure as previously was taken with gold except that gold coins were also brought into the treasury. 'Doubtless the men in Congress and out who have most persistently pressed this measure upon the President until they have at last won his reluctant approval have had in mind two major objectives. The first and dominant one has been to stimulate the silver mining business, and the second to enlarge the volume of currency. To the Registers way of thinking the first of these objectives is purely selfish, and the second is likely to be hurtful rather than helpful to the national interest.

Only a few days ago a list of banks, other corporations, and some very wealthy men was sent out showing that all the men and corporations named either actually held large quantities of bar silver or were long on the silver market. Obviously speculators who had bought great quantities of silver in the deliberate expectation that Congress would enact legislation that would enhance the value of the metal. After that exposure it would seem as if members of Congress would fnd it rather difficult to vote for the pending bill which will make silver bought by speculators at around 35 cents an ounce, worth 50 cents an ounce. In so far as the new bill will inflate the volume of the currency, tlv question may well be asked, Why Issue more money when the country lacks billions of using what it already has? It isnt more money the business of America needs. It is better money.

It is money the value of can be counted upon with assurance for a long time in advance. It is the lack of quality in our currency that is retarding recovery right now more than any other one thing. Every student of economics and business concedes that the great bulk of unemployment now is In the capital goods industries. These industries operate on a large scale. They involve huge Investments with slow turnover.

Men will not make these investments unless they have absolute assurance that the goods they put out to be paid for In six months or a year will be paid for In dollars worth as much as the dollars that went into their manufacture. They have no such assurance now and they cannot get it. The President will not give it to them. The Congress will not give it to them. That is why it happens that with banks bulging with money business is slow to get under way.

It Isnt more money the country needs, we repeat; It is better money. Give the country dollars as sound as dollars were when Republican policies prevailed and will be right here. It is several days since the primaries were held in Pennsylvania, as a result of which Senator Reed was nominated for the United States senate by something more than 100,000 majority over Governor Pin-chot. Reed has been a persistent critic of the New Deal while Pinch ot has been its champion. The Democratic leaders in Washington profess to see no significance in the result, since It was only a factional fight, within the Republican par: ty.

There is real merit in the effort now being made to get the "shortest all-weather route between Kansas City and Tulsa designated by a single highway number.

The reason there is merit in it is because, practically speaking, there never will be a time when it will hot be the shortest route. There, is not a single back-track in this new route which follows K-10 from Kansas City to Shawnee, U. S. 50 to Ola the, K-7 to Osawatomie, K-6 to Garnett, U. S.

73W to Chanute, K-16 to Lenapah, and 0-16 to Tulsa. The only way it ever could possibly be made shorter would be to eliminate the right angle turns and hit straight across country which is a long, long time the future. Past efforts to get shortest routes designated by a single number have been almost uniformly unsuccessful, partly because of the technical difficulty of the procedure, but chiefly because of lack of merit. Most of them have simply been booster programs by one group of cities seeking tourist advantages over another group. They have asked permanent marking of a route that is only temporarily the shortest hard surfaced and they have sought to connect towns In this manner that are not of sufficient importance to be worthy of it.

In, the present oase, however, neither of those objections applies. This route will always be the shortest from Kansas City to Tulsa, and certainly these two cities are of sufficient importance to deserve the distinction of a single highway marking between them. It is probable that three-fourths of the automobile traffic from Kansas City to Oklahoma is headed to or through Tulsa. It would be a real service to the motorist to have this designation made because few of them would ever choose the correct route in its entirety by looking at a highway map. The real saving comes in following K-6 from Garnett to Osawatomie, and few map readers would ever think of choosing it.

It is a good road now; it will be infinitely better when the new bee-line concrete highway from Greeley to Osawatomie; now contemplated by the highway department, is built.
