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.

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.
