states and territories, from deep water

The reduction of freight rates; second.
the transfer Of manufacturing industries
from the east TO this and neighboring
states; third. as 4 result OF the foregoing,
It would cheaper the manufactured
necessities Of life by cutting off the cost
Of transportating them from the far east,
and by increasing the competition
among them here in the west. The
Champion might have extended the
roster of benefits by adding more ready
markets for all our farm products by
reason of the increased number of manu-
factories of various kinds and their
hundreds and thousands of operatives
and dependents. The beneficial effects
would inure more largely and immedi-
ately TO the farming community, but
there is no citizen but viii see and feel
the helpful effects of bringing our state
into closer proximity with the markets

One Of the Secrets of Success.

Cheyenne Wy, Leader.
"Wichita, said Wichita man in con-
versation last evening" was made what
it is by faith and advertising. a picnic
excursion goes out of Wichita and the
railroad cars are covered with banners
booming the town. 4 Wichita man
goes to New York and after being shown
the sights says TO his chaperone: There
is no doubt but that this is a pretty good
lively town, but if you want to see a
genuine hummer from Hummerville
drop in on us at Wichita. 1t is the
same with a town as it is with an indi-
vidual. If an individual has no conf
dence in himself he will never succeed.
If the people of a town have no conf
dence in it the town had better fold up
its tents like the Arabs and silently steal
away. First have faith and then let
every body see by word and example that
you have faith and you need never fear
about the future Of town.

From the Guthrie, Ok, Capital we
learn that the city council of that place
has passed an ordinance ostensibly 70
aid the public schools of that city, but
in fact is nothing less than a charter for
a lottery scheme This is a bad move:
bad for the good name of the communi-
ty, and bad for the people who engage
in it. The city council has no authority
or power to grant such 4 franchise
being inimical to the laws and policy of
the United States, under the immediate
and exclusive jurisdiction Of which that
country still rests, If the council of
Guthrie had power at the present time
10 grant such franchise they could not
make it legally operative foranv definite

territorial form of government. with
the functions Of making and enforcing

Leavenworth's new pontoon bridge,
although at present but a temporary af-
fair, according to the Times description
of it, while it will be a great convenience
to many citizens of that town it will be
a very eye-sore to some others, if we
NAV form an estimate of it from the fol-
lowing from the Times of that city:
We think great mistake has been made
by part Of the press of this city in adver-
tising the bridge, as has been done for the
past month or two, as a highway to the
beer saloons OF Missouri. 1t is too true
that it was made such yesterday, but we
hope that in the future it will have
higher destiny.
It's pity that such mistake should
have been made, for, barring accidents,
our notion is the bridge will prove val
liable enterprise in bringing business to

Certain papers are blaming the state
printer for publishing so much unnec-
essary matter in official reports, thereby
swelling the cost 70 the state, and his own
profits as we'll. If the state documents
are too voluminous. who is TO blame?
Certainly not the state printer, who prints
from copy, acd who is no more allowed 70
bridge than to originate matter Ii the
reports are full of verhosity the response
sbility must attach to the authors.-Law-
renee Journal
The Journals point is well taken. The
state printer is left no discretion as to
how much or how little matter shall be
used, and On that score is not in the
slightest oensurable tor the extrava-
gance. There is point, however, that
comprehends a considerable portion of
the unnecessary and useless expense at
tached to the states printing bill, and
that is the quality of the work. For in
stance. the idea of using the finest
quality of paper for printing quarterly
or annual reports of bureaus or heads of
and binding them in library
style is simply ridiculous. The expense
of such work is thus increased from %
to 90 per cent, and this feature is under
the control of the printer.

A Christmas Ode.

by Cole Moxon, Of Reynolde.)
The handy work OF God. a pair
Alone In Eden stood.
The garden round about was fair
No sin, as yet, had entered there,
And God ssw IL was good.
The tree Of life stood near at hand,
With other trees around:
But, touch IL not, was Gods command.
With neither tongue, nor lips, nor hand
But satan WIS around.
God said, "eat not ye OF this fruit,
Lest ye shall surely de-
But satan came 10 woman first.
And caused her for the fruit TO thirst,
And told her God did lie.
Then Eve, the first, the law did break,
And touched the tree divine
Then caused that Adam should partske,
And, thus Gods sacred law forsake,
And satan's wish entwine.
Here, sin and death, and grief and woe
Became the lot OF man,
AND IN his wand'rings here below
They follow him where he may go,
Resist them all he can.
The world, with Eden, lost IN sin,
Was growing viler still;
The heart OF man grew foul within,
The germ in Eden did begin.
And grew the soul TO kill.
But God, the wicked world to save,
From vilest sin begun;
His only son. our Christ, he gave,
To suffer death and I'LL the grave,
For sinners, ev'ry one.
My frien s, the Lord q gift did give,
In Christ, for you and me;
rms gift he gave that We might live.
And TO onr God the glory give,
Through all eternity.
As God, the father, gave that day,
His son to all mankind;
80, parents give gifts in this way.
To be as near like God, they say,
As can the human mind.
