One of the Japanese students at
Harvard had been taking some phil.
osophy courses. The discussion turned
upon spiritualism one day, and, though
he seemed to be listening to the argu-
ments Understandings, the professor
did not feel sure that it was all in
Ineligible to him. Accordingly, he
asked ii they knew about the subject
in Japan and what medium" was.
"Mejum-mej jum-ah, yes" was the
reply. "Mejum-a-a sort of-crazy
person"
The professor and the class con-
eluded that the Jap understood. -Bos-

there was n change In the conduct Of

Of Kansas was vast swamp aud the
roads had to bridge the entire dis.
tauce across the state 80 they could
receive no business from Kansas
whatever, then u might be consistent
to ignore such 400 niles 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 q car
famine In the state, owing to the
enormous amount Of grain offered for
shipment. Aud Notwithstanding the
Immense tonnage which Kansas 10
giving her roads, the roads are eager
to haul stufffrom the west across the
state and deliver 10 la another state
for less than they will deliver In
Kansas: aud 40 eager are they to do
business In Colorado that they ami.

RADIO for any price they can get. Day
before yesterday there was . meeting
OF the members Of the defunct Trans
association at which they
resolved To maintain rates In Kan
sas and Nebraska. 10 the Kansas
roads In that meeting had resolved TO
correct all discrimlnations In their
freight charges In the state OF Kan
sas they would have advanced the
Interests Of their stockholders more
than any act Of theirs has done for q
long time. The question will have
TO be met, but II seems that the roads
prefer to be forced TO do that which
good business sense would have caus-
ed TO have been done long ago.

If we must have a pupulist sena-
tor, We reiterste our preference for
Mrs. Lease. Not because OF the
novelty of woman senator but be-
cause she possesses more pluck.
more sense. more brains, more hon.

man In her party. Permit US also at
this time to endorse her idea OF sub
stitutiug a prayer meeting for an H.

In aiI seriousness aud truth, IL there
ever was q time when the state OF
Kansas needed praying for, that
fime is now. Not that her fate has
fallen into the hands Of evil and de-
signing men, but the men who have
been selected leaders and officers are
