THEY ALL PAIR LP. Mr. 'Brown, a' Kansas gentleman, Is the proprietor of. a boarding house. Around his table at.

a recent dinner Bat his wife, Mr. Rrnwn- Mr HIhpV the baker: Mr. Jordan, a carpenter, and Mr. Had ley, a flour, feed and lumber merchant. Mr.

Brown took a flO bill out of hla pocket and handed It to Mrs. Brown with the remark that there was $10 toward the $20 he had promised Mrs. Brown lt handed the bill to Mrs. Andrews, the mlljlner, "That pays for my new bonnet." Mrs. Andrews In turn, passed It on to Mr.

Jordan, remarking that It would pay for the carpentry work he had done for her. Mr. Jordan handed It to Mr. Hadley, requesting hla receipted bill for flour, feed, and lumber. Mr.

Hadley gave the bill back to Mr. Brown, saying, "That pays $10 on my board." Mr. Brown again passed It to Mrs. Brown, remarking that he had now paid her the $20 be had promised her. She, In turn, paid It to Mrs.

Black to settle her bread and pastry account. Mr. Black handed It to Mr. Hadley, asking for the amount of his flour bill. Mr.

Hadley again returned It to Mr. Brown with the remark that It settled for that month's board; whereupon, Mr. Brown put It back into his pocket-book, observing that he had not supposed a greenback would go so far. The above clipping Is a good example to follow. If each one of ua would pay what we owe, it would enable our neighbor to do the nam 3.

Atlanta Constitution. Growl from the famous growler of the Lawrence Gazette: "It Is safe to say that no one but the candidates who were successful at the primaries la satisfied with the workings of the new law. It Is even a worse fraud and farce than any one had dreamed of. In the first place It has taken from tho voter the very thing it purported to give him the rlRht to choose for himself the candidates. The candidates choose themselves, and there was a choice of one of two things for the voter to do; he must swallow his medicine, or stay away from the polls.

The fact that half the voters remained at home shows conclusively that they would have nothing to do with the new law. They refused to be bound by such a thing, and they refused to bind themselves by agreeing to abide by the decision of such primaries. The fact is that the voters have not yet declared their choice. One-half refused to cast a ballot until November, Then they will bo heard from, and they, will speak distinctly and emphatically. The wonder of It all will' be If the Btate does not slump entirely to Bryan.

It will take the most heroic work that was ever done in politics to save the state to Taft and pull the Republican ticket through.1 This the voters have already intimated by their refusal to pledge themselves to the support of the ticket nominated. If the non-voting half of the Kansas people come out at the November election they are going to give the state a genuine surprise. They are disgusted with the laws which have been foisted upon them, and they cannot be blamed if they arise In their political might and turn the state over to another party." China Is trying hard to put a stop to opium smoking, and the efforts in this direction are such thai. is apt to be euccesBful. All efforts at puttlnc on the "lid" to check the liquor raffle lu this country pale Into mildest coaxing compared with the methods of the Chinese rvnn-ment to prohibit the seductive poppy pill.

Lately a non-commlssloned officer of the army was caught smoking opium by "a detective, and the general commanding sentenced the offender to hi beheaded. The troops were formed to witness tlw execution of sentence, when all bowed low to the general, and explained timt the officer was not addicted to the opium Habit, but was smoking it at the time he was discovered as a Mir himself. 4-j- All the details of fhe crime wer arranged In advance, even to the writing of a letter stating that tha double killing was to take pluci and giving the reasons which prompted the commission of the crime. I. DKMOCRATS TO ORGANIZE.

Commltt- Will Meet and Meet Chairman and Other Officer. 1 tit As Is always the case before the election the Democrats believe, or at least (hey claim to believe, that they have a chance to elect their tic'tet. This year they are more hopeful than usual, and the conse quence Is that there Is more of contest for places, whether on the ticket or In the party council. Tfce committee1 will soon meet and or ganize by the election of a chair man and secretary and treasurer, and the Indications are that Frank Glilett will be the manager of the local campaign and a member of the party council In the state. Frank Brady Is the uresent chairman.

In several of the townships no commit teemen were elected at the primar ies and these vacancies will be filled by the committee. In Parsons the Democrats elected a committee for each Precinct. Instead of for each ward, as was the case with the Re publicans. The following are the members of the Democratic county central committee: Parsons, First Ward First pre cinct, P. F.

11. Bank ers, business and- professional men In all lines formed a relief committee under the direction of J. S. Phil- Hps, acting mayor, and F. E.

God- all, president of the Spokane aha ruber of commerce, following the re celpt of the first dispatch from Fer ule, B. which was swept by fire on August 1, and the first train for the north cnrrled a car of provisions, clothing and tenta. W. D. Finley, assistant secretary of the chamber of commerce, who accompanied the car, cnrrled with him sufficient, funds to relieve the immediate needs, and this was followed by $3,000 sent by the committee.

Fred Dumont Smith has been defeated for the state senate. He started out with the new crowd In Kansas politics but he did not linger with It a sufilcUnt length of time.

He didn't take over half the degrees. The successful flying machine Is bound to come. It Is no greater achievement than the wireless telegraph, and will not be as great a wondor as the automobile would have ben twenty-five years ago. Bryan will go to Chicago this month to confer with Mack, which leads Borne of the correspondents to believe that he will boss the cam palgn. Will some one who did not know Bryan was going to boss the campaign please arise and let the rest of the country make an observa tion?

The Washburn-Pillsbury Milling of Minneapolis, which has just failed, should not be confused with the Washburn-Crosby mills, makers of the "lotd Medal" flour.

It isn't going to be as lone some being a radical In WaHhlngtou as it was a year ago, when Roosevelt was about the only radical on the townsite. Notwithstanding that this Is presidential election year, the public has some caute for rejoicing: Politi cians everywhere complain thut It Is ft particularly Hull campaign. A dull campaign, while affording considerable satisfaction to tha bulk of the people, Bimply because it Is dull, has the further advantage of being an Indication of returning good times. Lawrence Garctte; "The primary law has popular sentiment behind It." declares the Wichita Englo. And yet, one-half the votf of the state refused to cast their bnllots under It, while half of those who went to the polls did It under protest.

If that in having public Itment behind It. thin It Is evident that public senti ment Is preparing to lick th primary law when It isn't looking. A light touch of Sunday "bl.ic laws" has reached Manila; Manila, which Is wicked enough to moke a man from puritanical America believe Ih'T-i is fomethlng In the as sertion that ain't no ten com mandments" out thnt wav.

No Way to Contest i Nomination Vt der the Primary Law. Whlle there Is no talk of any con test of the result of the primary Id thla county- there has bean- soma In other sections and the attorney general office has been appealed to for an opinion, HI" opinion -seems to be that while a contest might started It, would not have any terminal and.

Assistant Attorney General Shukers, who passed opinion on it seems to think that the primary law -In Its present form wilt allow one candidate to steal a nomination from another candidate wltbor.t any recourse. This fault developed through the complaint of a Republican candidate fur the legislature In a certain dls trlct In Kansas, lie made a complaint to the attorney general charging that the nomination had been sto'en from him and asking the attorney general for an opinion as to the proper meth od of contesting the nomination of his opponent. He charge that the elec tion judges and clerks threw ou enough of his ballots to nominate him because of certain little technic alltlefl which the attorney general has ruled not to Invalidate a ballot. The attorney general began look Ing up the matter and finds that there Is no possible way In which the pro testing candidate can contest the nomination of his opponent and ac complish anything. The primary law makes the law applying to contcsU of elections applicable to the primary election.

Under this law the defeated candidate can secure dentitions and all other Inforhitalon possible and file them with the secretary of state who in turn can file them with the legis lature. But the next session of the legisla ture does not convene until next January and In the the meantime the general election will take place and of course the candidate whose nom lnatlon Is certified to the secretary will be on the ballot. This will mean that the contesting candidate will lose out entirely. Another way out of It suggested by Mr. Shukers, Is for the contesting candidate to file pro ceedings In the supreme court asking for a writ of mandamus to compel the certaflcatlon of his nomination thla would not work.

The next session of the supreme court Is not held until October and a decision could not be secured before November. That would be too late for the general -election. If the' ease was taken Into the dis trict court it would be tied up on ap peal until after the general election So the contesting candidate loses all around. MAY RE CHAUTAUQUA ROBBER Harry Coleman, Alleged Pal of Ten-nnt. Arrested in Washington, Coffey vllle, Aug, 11.
