I ordnrcd some potatoes down at the grocer's atore; the price was soiunthlnK awful I Hat niu down and swore. The grocer man : InforuiH me the price will stay up there; the crop Is quite n failure, ' 'round here and everywhere. And so I see I'll have to subsist on , beans mid crusts; and this It Is what grinds me 1 cannot blame the '. trusts. If 1 could blame I'lerp Morgnn, and roast old Ouggonhclni, I'd do without otatoe,iind have it bully time. The crop has been a failure because the weather's dry, and so the Wall Street barons can prove an alibi. Now I must oat the pumpkin and chow the. moldy prune, and know the robber tariff, like Wall street, Is Immune. No one will pay intention if I should nil no a fuss, and no my heart is broken there's no one I r.nn cus. I've pondered till I'm weary, and no way can I boo to charge the 'later shortage to lron-souled , John I). If I could only work It to- make John JD, the goat, I'd surely 1 run for office and ask you for your vote. . WALT MASON. Copyright, 1911, by George Matthaw Adams. j am. 5mamr raercMBMiise TELEPHONE GIRL CONSIDERED. Missouri is one of the first states, if not the first, to enact a law placing the strong and comfortable arm of protection around the helpless telephone girl, remarks an exchange. The now statute provides that any circuit judge in the state is em powered to impose a sentence of imprisonment of two years in jail, as a maximum, upon any person proved to have been guilty of using foul, profane or obscene language over the tele phone. There is also a sentence for the man who so far forgets himself as to use rude and offensive language to the operator. Tho exchange girl has long been subjected to insults against which she was powerless, but hereafter in good old Missouri she will have tho support of an excellent and useful statute. . In that state it will bo no safer to uso rude language to a lady oven' the wire than it would be to use such language to her on the street. In other states the defenseless phone girl needs the protec tion of the law also, for in every telephone dlstriot there are men who think it is all right to "roast" Central, and they roast, sometimes to the limit. Usually the man who uses offensive language to the girl at the cooped-up end of the wire is the very one who wouldn t dare assert himself lkowise to a man of his size Politeness over tho wire is just as proper as it is in the parlor, and if it roquires law to teach politeness, then let all the itatos follow Missouri's lead. While the method involving a rope and a convenient tree ia no longer in vogue in dealing with horse thieves in Kansas, the defenders of the sanctity of property rights in "hoss-flesh" are still well organized. Several hundreds of farmors and stockmen met in Arkansas City this woek in the annual convention of the Anti-Horse Thiof association of Kansas and Oklahoma, which represents, it is said, a membership of nearly 60,000. The organization has been so active in dotting wth rogues who steal horses that most of thorn are in prison and the remainder are plum discouraged and have bee nforced out of the "business." Now and then, however, some horse disappears, and the associa tion never lets up until the animal ia found and the thief placed behind tho bars. Asde from the main object of the association, it is prominent in tho social activities of the farmers and stock, men of the southwest. Tho annual conventions are always big affairs, with entertainments galoro, and in nearly every com munity where tho association has members there are annual picnics and county gatherings held undor its auapioes. President Taft was invited to attend the convcention this year, but was forced to decline According to a leading Paris newspaper the United States leads tho nations of tho world wtih a. hoarded stock of gold amounting to $1,310,260, 000. It would seem, aooording to political economists, that the inarcasng volume of gold and its oteadily growing production would tend to cheapen its puprohas. ing power That is tho theory In practoe, however, there is no noticeable nhnngo. It is the artificially controlled distri buton of wealth, through false eoonomio theories, whioh impede natural laws, a state of affairs more noticoable in America than in any other country. John M. Gayley, nt one time vice president of the steel truut, in his testimony before the congressional investigating committee, admits that tho price of steel rails has been kept up at the uniform price of $28 a ton by a "gentleman's agreoraent", manufacturers. This opens a way for the explanation of the nnd because of a fraternity between tho railroads and the steel mystery. Perhaps full light will be thrown on the subject when It is shown that the various rairoad directorates are well stocked with men affiiated with the steel trust. Stock profit sharing is thus very nicely worked both ways, while the public ho'ds the bag. Dull times arc resulting in frugality. The American people are outling down tho cost of living economizing. This is thown by tho department of commoroe statistics to the effeot that the consumer has reduced his imported champagne bill by half and adorned himself with $7,000,000 less diamonds than last year.
