SEVERAL leading divines in New
York are just now discussing the pro-
priety OF abolishing Santa Claus as a
figure in Juvenile imagination. DR..
John Hall holds that there can be no
wisdom in telling children lies about
Santa Claus. Lost in the midst of
Journalism and the instricacies of the
ology, the reverend gentleman as a
contemporary says, has evidently for
gotten the days when he was a boy,
with boys hopes and fancies. The
reverends may go on discussing this
question for decade to come. but no
matter what decision they may arrive
at, Santa Claus will remain as a CEN
trail figure in the home circle at Christ
mas tide. 1t is too much of a strain
upon time-honored traditions to abolish
him, even If his fancied existence does
stretch the truth more or less. Lies
about Santa Claus are of the whitest
kind, and if there were none worse the
world would be more like paradise.

SALooNKEEPERs must pay a 81 900
license fee for the privilege of doing
business in st. Paul during the next
year. When the ordinance requiring
the payment of this sum was passed it
was the intention of the retailers to
spurn it and sell liquors in defiance of
its provisions; but as thirty-six have
already paid the fee all must do so or
go out of business. Those who have
paid the license willard the police in
seeing that the law-is obeyed, as it is
TO their interest to do SO.

WE ind the following pertinent re
marks in the Kansas City Star, which
We think worthy not only Of perusal
but consideEate thought:
A current item which has appeared
in nearly al Of the newspapers IN Kan
sas Is to the effect that not more than
cd by that state are produced within
its borders. Following close upon this
statement the singular fact is noted
that Kansas, which annually raises
millions of bushels Of corn, consumes
thousands Of cans Of that cereal which
Is put up In Maine-a state which does
not. produce one bushel of corn where
Kansas raises five thousand. This
shows q condition of affair in that
state for which there is absolutely no
apology. Carrying Goals TO Newcastle
ing compared with the Importation Of
butter, cheese and corn into a state
which ranks among the first in its graz
| ing facilities and its splendid agricult-
ural resources. The fault lies with the
people, and it must be speedily correct
| ed IL Kansas expects to make the best
| Of her great possibilities. The failure
of the farmers of that state to properly
utilize the opportunities which the sol
4 1Alu ClAUle3OO OllCI LOI 01NCIbl4CA AAub
handy, is one of those perplexing enig
mas which seem to defy solution. Al
most all Of the smaller channels o.
profit seem to be neglected in the yea
fOr extensive farming which seems II
possess the tillers of the soil. The re
suit is that vast sums of money annu-
ally 90 out Of the state for cOmmoditiei
which Kansas should produce in thu
greatest abundance, and prosperity ii
hindered by this preversion Of economi
principles.
With the enormous immigration tina
Is pouring into that state, the day i
rapidly approaching when largely in
creased division of land is inevitably
and the plan Of small farming will be
necessity. Agricultural producers vii
then be constrained to learn the lessor
which they have hitherto failed tomas
ter and it Is the part Of wisdom to an
ticipate the day by timely action.
| There Is no reason why Kansas, witt
her vast herds Of cattle and her almoS
limitiess pasturage, should not onl.
!, supply her own people with butter ant
cheese, but export large quantities o
both every year, and II the measure o
enterprise in that state were common
surate with the natural advantages
there would be q sufficient quantity o
fruits and;vegetable annually cannes
to meet the home demand, and brinI
in from outside markets a handsom
revenue.-K. G. Star.

THE prohibition party conference in
Topeka is said to have been a fiat
failure. And it ought to to be. The
third party is pretty much composed of
cranks and fanatics, who, although
preaching temperance, practice in
temperance in other things besides
liquor. We have an example in our
city who breaches obedience to the
temperance law, but violates the
criminal law every day in the week by
carrying concealed weapons.

IT is easy to call a man liar. But
that don't make him one. To call q
