My opinion is that the act is century OF
retrogressiou in enlightened and liberal
craftsmanship. ana WAS not inspired nor IS
it maintained by sound policy or good rea-

| have seen TO reason advanced, during
the discussion of the subject by the papers,
that justlties 4 measure so detrimental 10
the material interest of state upon the
very threshold of rapid development.
The danger of foreign ownership of land
and its appropriation in perpetuity is
purely immaginary from the fact that our
laws against promogeniture and entanment,
and subjectinS the real estate TO payment
of the debts of party. Is q sure dissipatur
ii estates in land held nv all parties, for
Sign or domestic.
Foreign corporations can only acquire
land with Legislative consent, and this vii,
certainly be withheld
Furthermore, the experience Of nations
IS that while foreigners will form and main
tain commercial relations with the citizens
or subjects of other nations, and acquire
large interests in personally situate beyond
the jurisdiction of their own government,
it is rare circumstance TO find foreigner
acquiring real estate or holding the sans
subh,ttu laws i'll which he has no part III
making or administering. The power of
state over lands situate within its borders
is constant admonitiou to foreigners not
TO trust their fortunes in possession
under the control of people where the en-
igenCieS of war may bring couiisCatlon CO
internal strife may render them valueless.
There is no instance in history that l am
aware of where foreign ownership of LIANT
has ever mcnaced the peace or prosperity
of state. Irish landlordism bears no
analogy and cannot be justly cited in sup
port of our present alien land law, because
ireland is part of the British empire AMI
British subjects are the owners of the land

think it is the true policy of slate 10
induce the wealth of foreign people to seek
our midst, whether it comes in the shape Of
money or other valuable commodity that
adds comfort TO our people. Surely We
cannot be afraid of their wealth under our
own control, and utilize it for the benefit
of our people. Therefore | answer your four
questions categorcaly as follows:

PROHIBITION FAILS.
So Say the Leading Divines o. bleeding
Kansas

TOPEKA KAN, Sept. 16.-The state Tenn
perance Union met here in annual session
to-day The convention is composed mostly
of Prohibitionists and some Republicans.
These two elements had trouble Ill
the convention to-day. The former
wanted the whole of the present
Republican state administration censured
for alleged Indifference to the enforcement
of prohibitory laws and the latter did not.
A compromise was effected in the commit
tee on resolutions. The platform, besides
containing the usual stereotyped denuncia-
alton of saloons and congratulations upon
the spread of temperance sentiment,
scored State Attorney Kellogg and the
sherifs and county attorneys of various
counties for their neglect TO enforce the
laws. Rev. A. S. Embree wanted the whole
state administration censured. He said
prohibition was failure in all
the large cities of the state ex-
ceptIng Topeka, and the state
administration was responsible for the fail
ure C. C. Collins of Lawrence. Rev. d. Z.

Endorsed Embree's utterances.
The resolution was finaS adopted as re-
ported.

Early Autumn Dresses, Wraps. Etc.

Some country dresses for early autumn
are being made. according to Harper's
Bazaar, with underskirts Of blue or red
cloth-red under ecru or beige and blue
under white. Over the corsage is worn a
sleeveless jacket of the color Of the under
skirt, with slashed coat skirt, and having
" of the lighter fabric in the front and
back. A belt of natural leather studded
with gilt nail heads confines the jacket at
the waist.
Wraps preparing for the first cool days
are short capes of Pyrenean cloth trimmed
with braid, and others of pretty snowflake
trcot. attached to yoke, with ruche at
the throat and on the shoulders. These
small wraps extend only about a hands
depth below the waist, are light, yet suffi
GENTLY warm, and easily dotted and
donned.
A pretty early autumn hat is the Wat
team hat of black erin (horse hair). with
brim of medium width turned Up at the
back. The low crown is encircled by a
tulle ruche traversed by ribbon. A tuft
of flowers or feathers ornaments the back.

Sleeves That Are Admirable,

The most picturesque sleeve of today,
and yet the one which seems to have found
the fewest number of admirers, is the per
feet Valois sleeve, says Miss Mantalini in
The Pail Mall Budget. Sarah Bernhardt
appreciates its beauty; so does Mrs. Lang
try. 1t is slightly full on the shoulders,
though raised a very little; shapes in at
the elbow; fits the arm quite closely, but
easily; comes down in a point over the
hand, the end of the point being just where
the dimples are.
A long sleeve makes the hand look tiny;
an elbow sleeve cuts off the best part of a
woman's arm, shows that which is usually
the worst, and certainly does not decrease
the size of the hand; the short puff sleeve
that permits the shoulders to show above
it is for evening a most desirable style,
whether the arm be plump or slender
one. If the arm is slender the glove can be
worn to cover the elbow and then the
plump part of the arm would be visible.
But happy is the woman who has arms like
Mrs. Kendal-white, firm, and shaped like
those that might have belonged to Venus.

THE BABY.



The little tottering baby feet
With faltering steps and slow.
With pattering echoes soft and sweet
Into my heart they go;
They also go. in grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways.
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander 10 and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to NE
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The ink stand foul to see.
They pound the mirror with cane,
They rend the manuscript in twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain,
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murmuring baby voice
That COOS its little tune.
That makes my listening heart rejoice
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake at midnight dark and still,
And all the air with howlingfi
That splits the ear with echoes Shrill
Like comets out OF tune.

In replying to your letter of August %

voted for it, and would do so again. favor
the law as it stands. And as to the intent
of the law to exclude foreign capital from
the state | am not prepared to say, but
think it was intended to exclude foreign
capital from the small land owners in order
TO learn US poor laborers to live inside OF
our income, and when we have learned that
all-important lesson, we will not need any
sub-treasury scheme. Democracy will be
good enough. T.. b. WOMACK.

1t hardly seems probable that a gentleman
would present his card unsolicited. Cir
almstances might justify the act, and if SO.
it would be only necessary that the lady re-
ceive it without either returning hers or
giving her name. If she has asked for it,
then she should give hers in return.
Strict etiquette requires that lady does
not rise to receive the adieux of gentlemen,
assuming that to the sex Difference is due.
Among friends less formality is expected,
and there seems to be more cordiality in
the act Of rising to receive the partings than
to remain seated.
