For long time we steadily refused to pub
fish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincpled
parties as n means of disposing of their worth
less preparations.
That this view of the case is to certain OK
tent true there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every Intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona tide testimonials, and determined to use
rs advertisements few of tho many huE-
dreds of unsolicited certificates in our possess
sion.
In doing this. we published them "a nearly as
possible in the exact language used by our cor
respondents, only changing the phraseology, in
some cases, so as to compress them jnto a
smaller space than they would otherwise
occupy, but without in the least exaggerating
or destroying the meaning of the writer's.
We are glad to say that our final conclusion
was correct one -that letter recommend
ing an article having true merit finds favor
with the people.
The original Of every testimonial published
by us is on file in our Office, an inspection OF
which will prove to the most skeptical that our
assertion made above, that only the facts are
given MS they appear therein, is true.
But as Il would be very inconvenent, If rot
impossible, for all of our friends to call on us
for that purpose, we invite those who doubt Gf

WRONG END OF THE TELESCOPE.

Our dear gray haired old friend, WHOSE
photo-cabinet size-we prize, and the
memory Of whose numerous CHUNKS OF
Jokes and wisdom as they lie scattered
along the track of the years that we so
cherish. our blunt yet amiable commenda-
tor of every honest endeavor, Sol Aliler'
we fear is in the condition which the Queen
of Sheba found herself before she
stood upon the marble floors OF
that other old Sol. and beheld thc
splendor of his surroundings. De
not incredusous, for the half has not Deen
told YOU. Wichita is not losing any sleep
over Kansas City, as the prosperity nor
failure Of that place can affect Wichita IN
any marked degree. Wichita is not look
inc 10 the territory nor to the towns direct
" tributary to Kansas City for trade or
support. no more than will the EAGLE
urge its circulation upon the people OF
either Troy OF St. Joe. Our friend Bliller
in his estimate is looking at Wichita
through the wrong end Of bis telescope.
Chicago may not rctard the growth Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, but that Ainne
apolis and St. Paul cut into Chicagos
trade it would be foolish to deny. Kansas
Citv while she may ovcrshadow Topeka,
Lawrence, Leavenworth, Atchison and
Troy, cant effect Wichita. But for the
Chief TO say that Wichita, in her location
with reference TO and her control Of vast
and rich territory which would otherwise
have gone to Kansas City, will not effect
the latter place, would not be up to the
traditional wisdom and coolness Of the
average conclusions Of our CID friend,
Kansas Cily was '-ten times the size Of
Wichita" but she is not five times as large
today, and two years hence she will not be
twice as large, unless She grows very much
faster as the Santa Fe's whi9tling station
than she has as the Santa Fc's terminus.

DEAR BETsEY TRoTwOoD-IOur condi-
ton is pitiable; you are worse off than you
think. Your wit will not serve you in the
last day You will then repent Of your
effort to induce our own piouS and consid-
crate cousin to refuse calling his people
together for prayer, thanksgiving, plumb
pudding and turkey, and go back to the
hcathenish precedent of Tom Jefferson,
who not only refused to appoint day of
Thanksgiving but absolutely wrote to his
nephew that he had the right to investigate
and question everything, even to the ex-
istencc Of God You have gone farther
than this wicked president; you not only
doubt the propriety Of things sacred, but
you deny the goodness Of David, the
meekness Of Moses, honesty CT
Paul, the existence Of God, and
even your own blood cousin, silas. OH.
Betsy, think Of it, Think OF the condi-
ton Of Tom Jefferson now: can't you
men talk? Behold him writhing in the
flames Of torment where the worm dieth
not, and like his patron in sin, Dives,
praying for some one to bring him one
drop Of water to cool his crisped tongue;
any kind of water would be acceptable now,
even Wichita hydrant if no other could be
obtained
Thanksgiving days are good and useful,
cousin, if one can only understand their
import. It is good to have our people
come together one day in year and ham
bic themselves before the "giver Of all
good things" in thankfullness for the bless
ings Of life, and prosperity as nation. 1t
serves as a day of caution We take on

resolutions were unanimously adopted.
THE OPEN LETTER.
To the Hon s. B. Bradford. Attorney General Of tbs
State OF kansas:
Whereas, the good intention and purpose
| Of the state legislature to regulate the
! liquor traffic by the enactment of the Phar-
macy law, chapter y, section 3697 10 37ll,
| has been and is Row almost universally lS-
nored and abused by the sale OF intoxlcat-
| ing liquors, contrary to said section, which
! has largely changed the drug stores into
gambling houses and saloons, and whereas,
| in many new cities and towns in the west
ern half Of the state, the purpose OF
| Christian civilization is defeated by the
almost free and unrestricted sale OF
intoxicating liquors, where the officers OF
the law fail to respond to the moral Senti
ment Of the people to sustain the law and
hence suffering is entailed on the many by
the few Therefore, we respectfully ap-
peal to you for the enactment Of law 10y
the coming session Of the state legislature
to cancel or effectively amend the present
pharmacy law. We take the liberty to ex-
press the sentiment of thousands of good
citizens all over this state by the following
suggestions:
Resolved, I, That the state Legislature
enact law creating commission OF three
men and two women to constitute state
beard for the proper regulation Of the en-
tire liquor traffic of the state Of Kansas.
The state officers elect to be advisory
members Of said board. The salaries OF
the said board to be fixed by the legisla-
ture, and paid out Of the profits OF the
sales. Said board shall be required to give
bond in the sum Of 50, 900 for the proper
conduct of said liquor sales.
.. That said state beard shall provide
blanks as a test Of the good character cf
all applicants, and upon the application Of
the Signature of two-thirds OF the residents,
male or female, over the age OF q
years, Of any city, town or community,
said board lnay appoint local agent, who
shall not be engaged in any other business,
for the proper sale Of liquors. Salary OF
said local agents shall be fixed by the state
board and paid out Of the profits Of the
state sales, and shall be required to give
bond to the state board for the proper con
duct Of the sales, to the amount Of 50, coo.
3. That liquor shall be sold by said
local agent for medicinal, mechanical and
scientific purposes only, on Il prescription
issued by regular authorized physician,
subject to blank forms provided by the
state board, and to be acknowledged before
the local agent by the applicant, and
placed on file according to section -
Weekly returns shall be made to the
state board who shall determine the merits
Of said sales
4. That we earnestly solicit and appeal
10 the Christian ministry Of the state, all |
people and societies. for their
hearty cooperation to influence the legis- |
ative representatives of their respective
districts, for the enactment
# a law embodying the test Of the forego
ng resolutions c. n. GRANNY.

WHY SHOULD N<OMEN WEEP"
BIZ MARY. A, WHITE.

BIZ MARY. a, WHITE.
TE7an must work, and CONAN must weep. l-Charl
Kingley.
The world is full OF Joy and love,
And heGutiful with flowers;
The sunshine tt .rills the clouds above,
That fall in ummer showers;
While earth, and air, and SKY, give token,
To natures Joys forever spoken;
Then wh E should women weep!
"Mans inhumanity" to woman;
The same old story over.
Her heart-so tender, and SO human,
Calls for it's faithful lover
And by each loving glance gives token,
To natures voice-so sweetly spoken,
Alas that she should weep.
But weeping is pledge Of weakness;
a want OF conscious power,
The outcome OF excessive nleekneSS,
That blights the human flower;
And, since al natures voice gives token
TO power OF mind-aithOugh unspoken;
10 more let woman weep.
For, as the circling stars above
In fadeiess luStre glow;
So woman's pure and holy love
Should not be dimmed by woe;
Since earth, and air, and sea, give token,
BY natures laWS-aS yet unbroKen;
That woman should not weep.
