q NEW DEAL.

1t is high time there was a change in
the conduct of the roads of this state. If
| the state of Kansas was vast swamp
and the roads had to bridge the entire
distance across the state so they could
receive no business from Kansas what
ever, then it might be consistent to ignore
such 400 miles of haul, and make rates
only TO the east and west of such 400
miles Of dead haul; but, since the first
day Of September up to this time there
| has been a car famine in the state, owing
to the enormous amount of grain offered
forshipment. And Notwithstanding the
immense tonnage which Kansas is giving
her roads, the roads are eager to haul
stuff from the west across the state and
deliver it in another state for less than
they will deliver it in Kansas; and so
eager are they to do business in Colorado
that they annihilate this 400 miles Of
space across Kansas ard deliver freight
in Colorado for any price they can get.
Day before yesterday there was a meet
ing of the members of the defunct trans
Missouri association at which they re-
solved to maintain rates in Kansas and
Nebraska. If the Kansas roads
in that mseting had resolved to correct
all Determinations in their freight
charges in the state Of Kansas they
would have advanced the interests of
their stockholders more than any act of
theirs has done for long time. The
question will have to be met, but it
seems that the roads prefer to be forced
to do that which good business sense
would have caused to have been done
long ago.
There are hundreds CT industries in the
state that are languishing, and millions
of money invested that is not paying a
cent of profit, in fact running behind,
because their competitors in other |
states are fostered by the rail
roads. The idea of building
up any Of the industries in Kansas has |
never entered the mighty |
brainC0 of the rate fxers of any road in
the state. The roads complain that they
are not making any money at their
present charges, and they never will
until they change their policy. When
the roads do something to encourage
people to come to Kansas; when they
do something to encourage them to
stay in Kansas; when they pay little
more attention to the local or state haul,
then they will be on the road to larger
and not until then.

AN HISTORIC PICTURE.


There is IN this city one of the most
unique pieces of historic art work in the
state. 1t is an oil painting representing
the first school house built in Kansas,
and surrounding grounds. The build
ing, which was a single room log cabin
with clap-board roof held in place by
weight poles, was situated on the bank
of Fall creek in Leavenworth county,
fourteen miles west of the city of Leav-
enworth and near the village of Spring
dale. 1t was erected during the winter
of 1865. and was designed for residence
for a settler, but in the spring of 1856,
Mr.. V. X. Stanley, now and for several
years a citizen of Wichita, made IN a
subscription school in the neighborhood
and secured the new cabin in which to
hold its sessions. The school continued
until August of that year when it was
broken up by the border ruffian troubles
that were then beginning to terroize the
country.
The school was organized on the sub
scription plan, the tuition fee being So. so
per scholar; the teacher boarded around
among. the patrons of the school. This
is believed to be the first country school
organized and taught in Kansas, and
this fact lends special interest to the
painting, which is the handiwork of
Mrs. Stanley, the wife of the pioneer
teacher.
As a piece of art work the painting is
a compliment to the genius OF its author,
being purely original in its design. The
only aid Mrs. Stanley had in making the
piece realistic in its presentation of the
subject was bare outline of the situa-
ton of the house as to the surrounding
grounds drawn upon a slate by Mr.. Stan
ley, with such details as he could suggest
verbally; yet Mr.. Stanley gives the as
surance that the scenic effect is so accu-
rate that any one who had seen the local
ity would recognize it at glance.
In the painting the whole scene is
presented, covering an area in the
back ground of two or three miles.
The meanderings of FAN creek along the
foot OF range Of wooded hills to the
forest trees, two or three settlements in
the distance, etc, the whole creation
being an artistic blending of colors that
at once. presents an attractive landscape
view.
Professor Pence, superintendent of
Sedgwick county's schools, has secured
tie painting for exhibition before the
state teachers meeting TO be held in To-
peka during the holidays, and we under
stand it is the intention of Hrs. Stanley
70 produce a duplicate 10 be presented to
the state historical society.
II may not be out OF place to state, in
this connection, that Mr.. Stanley has
never lost any of his native penchaut for
educational work. lie interested him
self in that special department of our
social economy upon taking citizenship
in Wichita, and is today an efficient
member OF the cjty's board of education.

BEAUTIFULLY APPROPRIATE.
A most unique and beautiful ceremon

A most unique and beautiful ceremony
was performed recently at Chicago
Catholic church. It was the erection of
flagstaff surmounsad by cross direct
ly under which foated the stars and
stripes. The idea originated with the
Rev. Father Hishen, the priest in charge
oil the Holy Cross parish. "What could
be more fitting" he said, sin this year
of all times when we are to have thous-
ands of visitors from other lands than
that we should set before them the en-
blems of Christ and our country. We raise
this cross in a true Catholic spirit. Not
particularly is it intended for the sign of
our church, but in the spirit of truest
and broadcast Christianity. With this
we raise the glorious stars and stripes to
show the world that our love of country
and religion go hand in hand" The
conception is as patriotic as the action is
appropriate, and the two come oppor-
tunely and as an emphatic denial to the
allegation that the Catholic church is en-
gagged in an endeavor to ALLEVIATE its
members from their allegiance to the
government, the foreign-born element
at least.

THAT MASSACHUSETTS MISTAKE.

Poor old Massachusetts has been re-
ceiving many dig since the late un-
pleasantness, Nov. 8, on account Of the
failure of the Australian ballot system
within her borders. Nearly twenty
thousand ballots were thrown out be-
cause improperly prepared. Alas for
Boston culchaw! 1t now appears that
the Republican party, admittedly the
best element in the state, lost the cleo
ton because of the carelessness, not the
ignorance, Of thousands of voters, COM
bined with an unlocked for association
of names on the BALLOT. The blunder is
thus explained. Halle was the Republi-
can nominee for governor; Wolcott the
Republican nominee for lieutenant
governor. As fac would have 1t, the
name of Wolcott Hamlin, the Prohibit
ton candidate for governor, was placed
Immediately beneath Haile's name and
thousands Of intelligent out careless
Republican voters checked the names of
Halle and Wolcott Hamlin, thinking
they had voted for Halle and Wolco,L
o. course the ballots were thrown out
and Governor Russell. Democrat, has the
deep satisfaction of knowing he was
elected by mistake. This IS no partisan
explanation of defeat. The Democratic
press admits the situation. Nor are we
pleading for the reputation Of Massachu
sets. We review the situation simply
in justice to the defeated but still horror
able Republican party.

PErrICoATs IN THE PLATFORM.

That exiguous Mrs. Johns and hel
running mate and infinitisemal sprinkle
Mrs. Diggs, are spreading themselves IL
q manner we fear unwarranted by theiI
combined psychical prominence and
physical ponderosity. Their late chatter
as to what the Republican party must
and must not do may be amusing to the
citizens Of the realm of sunflowers, but,
unfortunately, there happens to be in
telligent people living beyond the limits
of Kansas who might be imposed upon,
and to the detriment of the state.
Women in public life-women in poll
tics, on the stump, at the hust-
lngs, and everywhere except at
home-will not come to be
added to our other political
plaques and to grasshopper invasion I'M
Ill majority at least of our own true
women have signified their willingness
for the experiment of a social revolution
which might afford the chances of Office
for few heish shes, but not before that
time,-for that abnormal coterie who
in their flights somehow reminds US of
the grandiloqueut orator who in descrlb-
ing the way our emblematic bird, the
eagle, vaulted the blue empyrean de-
clared that she scared and scared until
her tail got so sore she couldn't soar any
more.
The Republican party stands for pro-
lection, if it stands for anything, and
surely the home, and the church and the
social life which grows out of the home,
should be the first thing looked after.
The late Republican central committee
would have sacrificed anything for sue
cess, but they didn't help the fortunes Of
the old state house gang much in mon
keying after the methods of Mollie Lease
by hiring a weak chorus of soprano
voices for the stump, no more than did
the convention by putting petticoats into
the platform. 1t wouldn trender walking
any easier for the peripatetic grovelers
of this muddy mundanity if the high
sailing peris of Paradise had their wings
clipped and were all consigned to the
ranks Of earthly tramps, while it would
doubtless render the chances for perma-
hent prefermentanG happiness in heaven
not little shaky. So far as the aspira-
tions and ambitions OF that old, fruitless
female contingent are concerned there
seems to be plenty of room and oppor-
tunity yet for them to be found within
the battalions led by Mother Lease and |
the followings of the Fusion captains
under her.

In Yesterdays dispatches from Wash
ington City, in relation TO the Cherokee
Strip this rather remarkable statement
IS found: Should it become apparent
that the Strip cattIemen and other forces
combine TO delay opening the Strip, as
they did last session, there will be a
general effort all along the line to open
up the smaller reservations where the
cattle Interests will not object" 1t is
not known who the authority is for this
statement, but read between the lines il
Is easily interpreted to mean that an
effort will be made by cattlemen TO pre-
vent the ratification by congress of the
treaty between the commission and the
CherOkees before the 4th of March, after
which date the agreement will lapse If
not accepted by congress. The cattle
men are off the strip and have TO inter
est in it, and it will be regarded as odd,
very odd. if they shall be able to defeat
the opening of the strip at an early date,
now that that long desired end Is so
nearly accomplished.
