Much will depend upon those se- lected for the respomsibility rest up- on them to select the candidates for of- Bce, and it is always important that the best possible candidates should be shosen. Tharefore there should be a tepresentative gathering of the republi-} ;ans that they may let it be known| *hat the sentiment is in their respective| ommunifies and that men may be dele- fated o aat in aecord therewith. Locally in view of the contest that is sromised there is an added reason for ry republican #2o can get there to| wtend the caucus. Ipdications are that he contest will increase the interest in he selection of the delegations Thurs- night, and inasmuch as there is more se aspirant for the siate senator- riet among the repub- the republieans to ~mmke their choice and that must be done %t the caucus.

FIGHTING OUTBAGEOUS PRICES. Chairman Benson of the shipping J0ard will bave no difficulty in getting planty of others to agree with him when 3¢ deelared to members of the interstate ‘Stamerce commission, in an effort to get the assistance of that body in bringing About a lower price for coal, that the 205t per ton today is omtrageous.

A RICH HARVEST. ‘Well may the state of Kansas feel proud of the contribution Wwhich it has| made to the supplies of the nation this: 'vear as the result of the erops Which! have been or are in the proeess of being! harvested, Kansas hasn't produced more! than it ever did before but it has raised its second largest crop of wheat and; greatly increased the production of other; grain and sugar beets at a time when! the country was suffering from the ina-! bility to get sufficient help and when| there was need for much wheat and su-; gar. There were thoge sections of the coun- try which seemed to throw up their hands when the help shortage became acute. Instead of doing the best that| could be done under adverse conditions there was a disposition to give way un- der the depressing outlook, take care of self and let the other fellow do like- wise, without considering that there was an opvortunity offered for putting forth all possible energy and reaping the ben- efit from the production of what the country was calling for. Kaneas by the promised crops shows that it did not sulk. It made the most of a bad situation. It increased its crop acreage and it brought to bear ev- ery available means of cultivating the soil with the result that its activities will mean hundreds of millions of dol- lars and a decidedly happy common-| wealth. And while it means that to Kansas, it should also mean much to the rest of the country for the knowledge that it h1as produced such a wheat crop While raising more than 64,000,000 bushels of oats and 20,000,000 bushels of barley, and in addition the prospect of the usual Targe corn crop, carrics with it an assur- ance that there will be no longer of-any shortage in these supplies which did not teem so certain at the opening of the season. Kansas has made-y magnificent con- tribution to the country’s grain bins from which it will profit. It will profit from it but so will the country for its wealth will in turn be sent into the va- rious channels of trade. Kansas had the courage to go ahead in spite of ob- stacles and its suecess is therefore all the greater. \ CALLS FOR A CHANGE. The investigation which has been or- dered in Mgassachusetts relative to the manner in which Treasurer Burrell of that commonwealth has been using his office to promote his private business is bound to be followed with much inter- est outside as well as inside the state boundaries. In view of the disclosures that have already been made it seems the plain Quty of the people of Massa- chusetts to see that he is not reelected and as a member of their party who was given the nomination through the pri- mary system it is probable that the re- publicans will do their part in making he change, even though it requires writing in the name of another repub- lican on the ballot. Massachusetts had an excellent state treasurer named Burrill. When he re- tired the present state treasurer, whose name differed in only one letter, entered the primary for the office and succeeded in getting the party nomination. It does not appecr that he has misused the funds under his comtrol but ' evidence voints to the fact that through the way in whieh he has distributed the state money among the banks of the state he has been able to greatly increase his wn private advertising agency, the claim being that those Who did not deal with his agemey experienced a curtail- ment of state deposits, while those Who placed their advertising through his agency were particularly favored. The chamges in the deposits among he banks give support to the elaims and t is quite evident that Massachusetts should not be desirous of having another serts that he is going to dispose of his personal business. It is quite natural therefere that there should a determination to not only let him dispose of his private business if he desires but to insist at the ballot box that he shall not lamger hold the offics which, if the eharges are true, he has turned to his own benefit, and it is important that the republicans was elected tould take the leading part in this rhat- ter. The thing to do is to take action that will show Burrell's methods aze not approved. EDITORTIAL NOTES. It will be useless to expeet any bids from the paekers at the sale of Hog isl- and.

These who have been longing for the reopening of school have gome through the most tedious part of their wait. Just how fast the season is traveling along is indicated by the fact that the straw hat season will end in about three weeks. When it is declared that wholesale prices dropped 2 1-2 per eent. in July it seems probable that the retailers got it twisted. Now that the gevgfnment is beginning to kick over the price of coal possibly the wail of the little consumer will get more attention. Successful as it has been there is no Lewis Denton stretched himself with 2a weary sigh and ran his hand through his curly brown hair. He looked with tired satisfaction at the pile of papers on his desk, in his gray eyes the contented light of work well done. “It's been a hard week,” he muttered, “but T've caught up again now. Well it's Saturday afternoon and I guess I'll take a holiddy. I told Bella I'd sure be home early today and take the children out, but I guees I'l call it off.” He reached for the telephone and called his home numbe 5 “Hello, Bella, mind it I take in a show teday? Tl be home to supper with my usual appetite. The children expecting me? Well, T peed a change from this eternal grind at the office. That's a good old sport. All right, good-by.” He hesitated a moment after he hung up. for his wife's voice had sounded wist- ful, though she had gallantly told him to run away and play, as she knew he worked hard. “A man has to get away and rest his brain,” he assured himself, to silence the guilty voice in his heart. In the pretty suburban heme Bella turned- slowly away from the 'phone and faced the eager, anxious glances of the 7 year old twins. “No, daddy is not coming home early, after all,” she said sorrowfully. ‘“Let's put away his dinner and save the sur- prises for next time. “Hg's always coming next time,” wail- ed Bessie, while Bob gulped and rubbed his eyes. “We have such good times when he comes, but he don’t come,” sniffed the little boy. “Daddy works very hard and needs a change,” explained their mother, “but we'll have a good time by ourselves. We'll take a little walk. No, I'm not too tired to go as far as the park. We'll come home early and have a tea party.” . Bella smiled brightly and the downcast faces lightened in response. She sighed as the children scampered away for their coats, for it had been a full week and the position of housekeeper and mother, wife and nursemaid kept her busy every minute. She had looked for- ward to the afternoon holiday for the companionship of her husband and the rest rest he brought by sharing the care of the children. “Silly woman,” she scolded herself as she put on her hat; “you're lucky to have a dear, good husband anyway. There's lots worse things he might do than go to the movies on a Saturday afternoon.” In the theatre, crowded with people en- joying their half holiday, Lewis watched and laughed and forgot his business wor- ries. “That's a pretty thing.” he murmured as a quartet of flower-laden girls tripped on to the stage. “They can sing.” he thought as their sweet young voices sang the old-time melodies, while the quaint hoopskirts fes- tooned with flowers swayed back and forth in sedate minuets and graceful waltzes. At the hearty encore they smilingly re- turned, bringing large flower-filled ba kets on their arms, tossing roses on the stage as they sang a tender little love song: “The roses will tell that you love her denrly. The violets that you love sincerely, The 1ily speaks of devotion With love as deep as the ocean— Each little flower Will tell that you love her.” Over and over, as the quartet glided away, came the chorus, first loudly and then softly and hauntingly: “Say it with flowers, the fairest that grow— They’'ll bear a message from you. Say it with flowers— Tulips, carnations and violets, too— Say it with flowers.” P The lights and people faded away and suddenly Lewis saw again the square hall of the big. old church ia the little town of his boyhood, on a drowsy Sunday morning. He saw himself standing at the foot of the stalrs waiting for Bella. She came down slowly, her. fair hair shining in the noontime sun, her blue eyes sweetly serious as she listened to the white-haired lady at her side. ‘When they reached Lewis the little old 1ady shook a plasful finger at him as s littreY NORWICR BULLETIN.

Fow long since he had heard her delighted cries as she buried her face in heart-refreshing Toses? Lewis sighed and came back #to the present. He had lost his taste for the show and glanced idly around him. He saw women in furs with big bunches of violets, girls in silk with arbutus tucked in their coats, women with white hands g jewels, girls with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. “Bella is as pretty as any of them,” he thought with pride. “In spite of her hard he has Lept her hands white and her hair lovely and when she's dressed up she looks good enoush to go anywhere.” ay it with flowers.
