The ',Knights of Labor and the

THE substitute for the senate orig
lnal package bill that passed the
House reads as follows: tThat when
ever any article of commerce is i'm
ported into any state from any other
state, territory or foreign nation, and
there held or offered for sale, the same
shall then be subjected to the laws of
such state. Provided, that no dis
elimination cl shall be made by any state
i'll favor of it's citizens against those of
other states or territories in respect to
the sale of any article of commerce,
nor in favor of its own products against
those of like character produced in
other states or territories; nor shall
the transportation of commerce through
any state be obstructed except for the
necessary enforcement of the health
laws of such state" The matter will
now be thrown into conference of
the two Houses, and such amend
ments will probably be adopted as
will reconcile the difference between
the specific Wilson bill and the House
bill.

AN exchange thinks it is astoniSh-
ing how easily the country is scared
about the crops i'll this state, and how
soon a few dry. hot days create a fear
that drouth Is coming which will
destroy the crops. 1t thinks that such
disasters are not more frequent in
Kansas than i'll other states, but that
they always attract special attention
=" hen they happen here. That is true
and Is easily explained. Kansas pro-
duces such enormous crops when the
seasons are favorable, that a failure
makes big deficit in the grain
yield of the country. The shortage is
all the more noticeable because the
supply from Kansas is usually so great;
and this is powerful reason why the
state should always endeaYor to be on
its good behavior.

CONGRESSMAN MILLS iii a recent
speech in Missouri: "A Democrat
does not believe you can gain wealth
by taxation. But a republican doesn' t
reason that way. He seems to argue
that you increase mans wealth Just
in proportion to the amount you take
out of his pocket. There was a time
when the wisdom of the founders of
this glorious country provided for a
protection to our infant industries.
They should now be grown, but after
all these years of development the in
FAINT is still 'mewing and puking' in
his nurses arms. AS the years go by
the infant becomes weaker and weak

they are a very pious set. They pray
morning and night for the laborer, but
they always spell it prey"

BY the death of Charles S. Ebey
Kansas loses one of her brightest
lights. He was young, being only
thirty years of age, honest, the pos
SCISSOR of remarkable oratorical pow
er and grand mind, genial, beloved
by all who knew him, who deeply
mourn his death. He was a member
of the Wichita bar association and
held in high regard by the profession
He was several times honored. by the
of the state and his con-
gressional race two years ago against
the present incumbent, Judge Peters,
was a most creditable one, and for
and thoroughness has never
been equalled.
We wonder if the people that take
to the recent decision of
the United States supreme court ever
went into meditation over how much
our liberty and prosperity depends up
on the Judiciary of our country, and
the Importance of having them pure
and clean, not alone of the highest,
but all courts.

II is unfortunately the case that
every small boy ) not in n position
financially % become the owner of a
pair of roller skates. Only the eXcep-
tional youth enjoys such a possession.
Docs one, then, see these lucky ledg-
lings of manhood skating about yer
the asphalt in proud consciousness of
their superior means of pleasure and
locomutioni Quite otherwise. One
does observe roller skates in use on
every hand, but it is rarely that a sin
gle small boy is using two of them at
once. Almost invariably he is seen
sliding along on one skate wi h a sue
cession of impulses conveyed by the
other unskated foot.
Now, why should this be so? For
what reason is it that the small boy so
seldom has more than one skater Sim
ply because he has either lent the other
skate toa companion or borrowed from
him the one he has on. Thus you will
ordinarily see these small boys skating
in pairs, each with one skate, and so
dividing the sport. Rarely docs it ap-
pear that the owner of a pair OF skates
uses them both himself instead OF
sharing the pleasure with a friend,
Who says, then, that the small boy
is a selfish being2-Washington Star.

A MIsFIT IN
The Australian System Cut Down the
Vote in the New state.


Alfred Roseman of Helena, Mont Z,
was an east bound passenger Yesterday
morning. He declared to a reporter
that the Australian ballot system was an
all around failure. He says that the
adoption of the system was sought and
secured by the Republicans and now
that they have succeeded they ae like
the COW that bit off its wi tail. They
are vaiuly trying to find out what they
did it for. The system might give sat
isfaction in some more density populated
state, but in Montana it is a dead failure.
1t is almost impossible u get out even a
fair vote under its conditions. When it
is considered that many voters are obliged
to travel fifty or 100 miles to register and
again to cast their ballot the difficulty of
polling a full vote san be appreciated.
Then, again, the system is so complicated
that many men are not able to arrange
their vote exactly in accordance with their
preferences during the four minutes
which they are allowed to remain in the
booths. These objections might be par
tally remedied by ju%dicious amendments,
but as it is now constituted it gives any
thing but satisfaction to the majority of
the people.

for years, until the sum had reached
$1,000. The money disappeared, and
the theft was traced to a Maynard son.
This was several years ago. In the

"ANo HIS WILL is OUR PEACE"

o relentless soul Of man, unsatisfed
With the worlds empty noise and feverish glare,
Sick with its hopes of happiness denied,
The dust and ashes of its promise fair.
Bafied and buffeted, thy days perplexed,
Thy cherished treasures p~roftless and vain,
What comfort hast thou, captive, thwarted, yexed,
Mocked by mirage OF joys that merge in paint
Though love be sweet, yet death is strong, and still
memorable change will follow thee;
Yea, though thou vanquish every mortal i'll,
Thou shalt not conquer mutabllityi
The human tide goes rushing down to death;
Turn thou a moment from its current broad,
And listen, what is this the silence saith,
oh souly BE still, and know that l am GodH'
The mighty God. Here shalt thou find thy rest
o weary onei There is naught else TO know,
Naught else to seek-here thou may'st cease thy
quest,
Give myself up. He leads where thou shalt go.
The changeless Godl Into thy troubled life
Steals strange, sweet peace; the pride that drove
thee on,
The hot ambition and the selfish strife
That made thy misery, like mist are gone;
And In their place a bliss beyond all speech;
The present resignation OF the will
That lifts thee out OF bondage, out & reach
OF death, of change, of every earthly Ill.
