SKETCHES FROM THE CAPITAL 4 By Congressman U. S. Guyer THE LAST MAN. MEMBERS of Congress are reminded by Major Steadmans announcement that he will not seek re-election that the last survivor of the Civil War leaves Congress with the expiration of the 71st Congress. Major Charles M.

Steadman, North Carolina, was a Confederate soldier in Lees army. 'Charles Lockwood, the last surviving member of a Last Mans Club consisting of 33 members of a Minnesota company of Union soldiers at Stillwater, stood at a table the other day surrounded by 32 a cant draped chairs and drank a toast to hls ab-s comrades from a bottle of Bergundy kept for that purpose since 1885. With him were two surviving widows of members. This suggests speculation as to when the last aged survivor of our Civil War will have passed away. There are at present about 45,000 Union soldiers on the pension rolls.

And about a like number of Confederates. A boy who at 15 entered the army In 1864 would be 81 years old now. In twenty years from now he would be 101 years old. The pension list will not be large In 1950. Of course there will be widows of soldiers drawing pensions long after that.

A short time ago there were twelve widows of soldiers of the Mexican War drawing pensions. The last soldier of Washingtons NGEL UPON A E. W.

His grave is overgrown with briers and weeds and Congress will be asked to honor his neglected grave and care for his last resting place. On the old marble slab that marks his grave is written: John Gray, Died March 29.

Returning after a vacation which began a week before the primary and lasted a week after, the conductor of this column finds the newspapers still post-morteming, explaining, analysing, conjecturing, endeavoring by various theories and philosophies to account for the result of the said primary as related to the office of governor. If the editor had been here a week ago he doubtless would have had something to contribute to thi9 symposium. At this late date, having in his mind a sort of composite of all he has read on the subject, it seems to him the sum of all the discussion amounts in effect to the analysis presented in a Register editorial published June 27. Can- mentlng upon Gov. Reed's Topeka speech, the speech in which he called the roll of those he seemed to think constituted the sum total of the opposition to him, the Register said In part: Tlf the Governor had nothing more to reckon with than the antagonism of the men he named in his Topeka speech he would not need to make any speech at all.

If he had nothing more to reckon with than the men who are against him because of his attitude toward public utilities, or toward the banks toward other corporations, or because he will not give them a job oil. let them graft, he could let the heathen rage. As a matter of fact the men the Governor names are not'against him for the reasons the Governor gives, there again he is shadow boxing. But let It be assumed they are against him for these reasons, still he Is far from petting to the bottom of his trou bids. The bottom of the Governor's troubles, the thing upon which they are really grounded, has nothing to do with liars or lobbyists or public 'utility operators or grafters or job seekers.

The bottom of the Governors troubles is the Governor! 1 People who wouldn't know Dave Mulvane or Billy Morgan or Al, Williams If they should meet them on the street, and who never heard of John Breyfogle or Harry Sharp or John Hamilton, people who have not the faintest Idea what the quarrel Is, if any, between the Governor and the utilities or the banks, people who never dream of holding any political office and therefore care nothing about other men who may be seeking appointments. are against the renomination of Mr. Reed. Against him all on their own account and without any reference whatever to the men the Governor denounced in hls Topeka speech and the things he talked about. They are against him because they have lost confidence in him.

They no longer believe In hls sincerity, his political Integrity, hls sound judgment, or hls statesman ship. They do not like the way he handled the insurance settlement, or permitted It to be handled. They do not like the way he has handled the tax revision question. They do not like the way he has administered the $40,000 fund for law eh forcement. They do not like the way he has Used the patronage of his office.

And that seems to go post as well as ante-inortem. Over in Wbodson County, have a way of doing things should commend itself to country A short they that the time after the Guernsey Bank at Independence failed, it became evident that by reason' of Its loss In the Independence Bank, the Commercial State Bank of Yates Center could not continue business and In order to have the bank taken over by the other local bank, the citizens raised $20,000 in one night and the bank was taken over and all depositors were paid In full. F. L. Stephenson-was president of the bank, and instead of the community wanting to hang him, they nominated him by a big majority for county clerk at the Tuesday Republican primary.

A county that will do these things deserves favorable mention. CONDITION WORLD WIDE 1 That the economic conditions which iiave brought, about a period of depression In this country exist all round. the work! and are having the same results in other countries as in our own, was recognised at a recent meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce held at Paris where representatives of business all over the world were gathered to discuss the-situation. As a result of these discussions the following resolutions were passed expressing the conclusions this International, body reached as to the reasons Which have brought about the existing and the reader of them who also read a Register editorial on the same subject will recognize the similarity between the two statements. The resolutions follow: (a) By the increase in the capacity of production, that has outstripped the Increase of population because of.

the industrial development due to the War, moss production, and the of nations to become economically and industrially self-supporting; "(b) By under-consumption resulting from- a grave-i agricultural crisis and from the closing of certain important markets (accentuated by the fact that in Russia, China, and India 900 millions are not only not improving their standard of living, but are actually consuming less per head than before War); and also because in almost all the industrial countries of he world, retail prices have not fallen in anything like the same proportion a a wholesale prices. Additional resolutions, as a means of applying- a remedy, request governments to take all possible measures to promote the 'international exchange of goods; and requests the Bank of International Settlements and banks of issue to do everything in their power to avoid excessive accumulations of gold, to facilitate a supply of credit at moderate rates and the free circulation of capital. THE YOUNG CROWD The Old Bill Whites (even Young Bill spoke of himself as in the sere and yellow leaf on hls recent 30th birthday) attribute the success of Haucke to an uprising of the Young Crowd. Commenting they say: So the young bulls have horned the old bulls out of the herd. Every generation sees this spectacle that Kansas is witnessing today.

So here's to the young bulls, God bless 'em! We olduns will stand sentinel on the hill dreaming our dreams, proud of our progeny, knowing that ours has been a grand and glorious day. And that evokes from Young Go-mer Davies the following: It was a wonderful victory for the young crowd, composed of Chas. F. Scott, of lola: Will Townsley, of Great Bend; Victor Murdock, of Wichita; Chas. Spencer, of Independence; Carl Brown, of Atchison; Y.

Morgan, of Hutchinson; Rolls Clymer, of El Dorado. And may we not with proper modesty include in the bunch of forceful young men, the callow young upstart who presides over the political destinies of -The Kansan, and did what he might in a lowly and humble fashion. to re-ins tale an invisible government for Kansas? ONE UNFAILING CROP. There Is one crop that hasn't failed in Kansas this year. We refer to the prophets without honor in their own counties.

The woods are full of them and among the list are some of the most shining lights in Kansas. The managers of the candidates for governor on the Republican ticket fell by the wayside in their hone counties, as did the successful candidate for governor, while the defeated candidate for governor barely squeezed through at home. Allen county, the home of Chas. F. Scott, who led the fight on the Insurance settlement.

The Capital might have carried its amusing references a little further and called attention to the returns from Shawnee county where a majority of something like 12,000 voters registered their verdict against Reed in spite of the cordial endorsement of him given by the editor of the Capital. As to Allen county and the insurance commissioner, the Governor came to lola and made a speech In which he took, all the responsibility for the insurance settlement on his own shoulders and defended it The Register printed his statement in full and the people promptly forgot the poor little insurance com missioner and took It out on the Governor as per the following: For Reed 1473; for Haucke 2502.

TO GET QUICK PASTURE They had an excessively dry year up in Marshall county, Kansas, back in the 80s and J. Dllle, who was a boy on the farm up there, remembers that when the drouth was finally broken by a good rain on the 15tl) of. August hls father sowed wheat and oats. He didnt take the trouble to plow up the ground, just harrowed the stubble fields from which the grain had been reaped, sowed the seed broadcast and harrowed It in. With the result that he had fine pasture for his stock all through the fall and late Into the winter.

If some one in Allen county acts on this tip the Register would be glad to hear, bye and bye, what the results were. That constant advertisers are operating legitimate businesses and maintaining business principles all the time. They deal fairly and squarely with the public, giving them everything they can in the way of service and goods at the lowest possible price. Quality and economy are linked together at their places of business and they have their prices coupled with service. Their clerks are courteous and attentive to business.

They carefully consider the every want of the people. These business concerns show a conscientious effort to supply the best goods and service that 1s sold at any price. It is wise economy on the part of the buying public to read the ads before they shop. Advertisements show ample choice and price from which to select, and the- wise buyer clings fast to this fact. The modern way of advertising is, as usual, the sensible way for the business concerns to get bus! ness.

The modern way of buying fa by reading the ads and buying where the best buys are. Many business concerns help to postpone prosperity by curtailing advertising and talking pessimistically.

Too many people have an idea that Spanish architecture means using vivid or even wild colors, and surface treatments that are gaudy and very ornamental, at least in places. The contrary is true.

In fact the inspiration for our best Spanish homes is simple, even severe in its simplicity. This design is an example of the type of Spanish architecture that would fit exceedingly well on.
