/. The state has had five years
experience of full municipal woman
suffrage, which has worked to the
satisfaction of all friends of good
government.
2. 1t is in condition of political
upleaval, by which party organiza-
ton has been shaken and dislocated
as never before. The old leaders
have been largely set aside by death
and revolution Young men and
new issues have come to the front.
The Republicans have declared for
the amendment, and the Populists
have espoused the women's cause.
1t seems to be race between the
two for the honor of bringing wo-
man into her kingdom.

woman suffrage amendment was
made mainly by speakers from
abroad LucyStone, OlympiaBrown,
Bessie Bisbie, Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton, Susan B. Anthony and myself.
Governor Charles Robinson and Col.
Samuel N. Wood were almost the
only eminent Kansans who took the
field actively in it's support. Now
it is Kansas women who bear the
banner, and the most eminent men
of the state are ready to second
their efforts. The women of the
state are organized and alert in sup
port of their common cause
Under the circumstances, the suf.
fragists of the country should once
more come to the help of Kansas
The harvest planted in 1867 must
now be gathered. The good seed
then sown has borne fruit hundred
fold. Let the suffragists of every
state hold up the hands OF the Kan
sas workers. Success in Kansas
means success in every state west

.sTHE ADyOCATE's'' POSITION.


We like the Advocates position
on the question Of the enforcement
of the prohibitory law. Last week,
Editor McLallin talked to the Tope-
ka police commissioners in the fol-
lowing sinsible manner
GENTLEMEN 1t is a well-known
fact that the joints and gambling
dives exist in various parts of this
city in open violation of law. When
you were appointed members of the
board Of police commissioners, you
were aware that the governor had
given the public assurance that the
laws should be enforced during his
administration. When you accept
ed this trust, both the governor and
the people had right to expect that
you accepted it in good faith, with
the intention of doing your duty as
the law defines it. You have had
ample time to reorganize your force
and get everything in working or
der. If you intend to perform your
duty, it is time for you to begin. lf|
you do not, you should resign, and
the governor should appoint in your
places men who WILL do their duty.
If you neither intend to do your
duty or resign, the governor should
remove you and appoint new men.
The Advocate has remained silent
upon this subject long enough to
give ample time for the commence
ment of operations. While the
homes of few friendless women
and few Of the small-fry joints
have been raided to give an appear
ance of doing something, the high
toned fellows go on with their In
famous business unmolested. We !
would like to see this process
reversed. Better catch the big
fish first. By so doing, the
little ones may take the hint
and get out of the way. We
shall expect to see something done
in this direction during the coming
week, or we shall make some re-
marks upOp the subject"

HAST THOU DONE THY BEST (?

HAST THOU DONE THY BEST
How the fast days. Aeetng, fill the short swift years
Like dim dream, ending, so this life appears
All it's lights and shadows seem to fash and blend
Like the rayfecked meadows where the sunbeams end
hear God calling
From the setting
While dewdamps falling
Tell the brief day done
with morning shining
Thou hadst wondrous zest,
Now the days declining,
Hast thou done thy best?'
There were sore hearts thee when the day
There hands, upreachng the whole day through;
Didst thou heal and comfort Ddst thou help or heed
Or did night-shades falling, find the sad need
And still God calleth
By the setting sun;
Still dew-damps faleth
When the day is done
The cloudway hdeth
Still the moons wan crest;
Still the hearts voice chideth;
Hast thou done thy best ?'
There were deeds of mercy which thy love alone
Could with all their favor unto make known.
Oh the ones that waited Did they wait in vain
With the same dumb sorrow and the same dull pain
Still sunsets whisper
When the day is done,
Still peals the vesper
From the setting sum-
Still memory clingeth
An abiding guest,
Still the life-be rngeth:
"Hast thou done thy best %
Oh the souls that perish and go down to death,
While our hephopes vanish like vapid breath
Ring the call for service e'er the shadows fall
And the White Throne shineth where he all
God calls at
By the setting
otis Home and Heaven

Each crownd brow weareth
A New Name contest,
When the record bearth
Thou hast done thy best''

FENCING RAILROADS

The West Ferndale Clipper, speak
ing for the rural districts on the subject
Of railroad legislation, says that "the
railroad should be fenced and the fence
kept In repair. Let our legislative
solons work for measures to benefit the
rural districts, as well as the cities and
towns" Just now it is the fashion for
journalists to offer advice on the sub
ject of railroad legislation, some of
which is worthy Of consideration while
much of 1t is not well considered and
does not tend to accomplish the pur-
poses for which 1t is offered. Advice,
the tendency Of which is toward ex-
treme measures Is seldom followed, and
never without injury. No one, not
even railroad companies, will oppose
reasonable legislation upon the subject
of fencing, but what Is reasonable is
another consideration. In densely
populated agricultural districts, and in
open grazing parts of the country
fencing and the maintenance of fences
are practicable, and are mutually ad.
vantageous TO the community and the
railroad companies. 1t ought, how.
ever, to be remembered that west Of
the mountains in this state very
small percentage OF the mileage of rail
roads is located in either agriculture
or grazing lands. The rests are dens,
and the companies can clear only thei
right-of-way, SO that, If the companie
should be required to fence their entir,
lines, such fences would necessarily
for the greater part, be constructe,
along the timber lines which boun,
the right-ofway. 1t would be foun,
almost impossible, or at least only pos
sible at very great expense, to maintain
fences so situated against the storms O
winter and the fires of the summe
season.
The cost Of fencing is from two hun
dred and fifty to three hundre'

tiated five hundred and thirty at one
time on their last meeting night in
December. The grand lodge having
offered prize of q gold badge valued
at $50 to the lodge that obtained the
largest percentage of increase for the

the members to use every effort to in

dollars per mile, and in the timbered
district the cost of maintenance would
be probably about one-half that amount
annually. That is a continuing tax.
Fencing and maintaining fences are
permanent Improvements, and 1t is be-
lieved that they must be taken into the
account in fixing rates Of freights and
fares in order that the companies may
receive revenues from their business
sufficient to pay their fixed charges,
their operating expenses and a reason
able profit on their investment. If this
Is true, then such improvements amount
to tax on the commerce of the country
Of an amount somewhat more than
sufficient to pay interest on the invest
ment for first cost and continuous re-
newals and repairs. This ought not to
be required further than is really nee
essary for the protection of stock, and
such protection is not necessary except
ing where the lands are cleared and
fitted for stock to run upon. If legisla-
tive action is required at all upon this
subject it should be well considered,
and so devised that protection may be
afforded to the rural districts by requir-
ing the right Of way to be fenced when
and as the adjoining lands shall be
cleared and used for purposes Of agri-
culture or pasturage, and so that the
companies shall not be subjected to the
burden of fencing and maintaining
fences where there is no necessity for
them.

The Value Of Thought.

1t is hardly necessary to say that all
men need to "swing" the moral compass
from time to time and TO take their
bearings in the sea of life. The advice
is as true as it is conventional. Upon
the use of thinking for such purposes
we shall not, then, dwell. We may, how.
ever, point out, as a means of strength
ening and invigorating the mind in a
secular and worldly sense, the habit of
thinking is of the greatest possible valne.
The minds Of those who dread think.
ing, as If it were penance, become like
the bodies Of those fed solely on spoon
meat--soft and unable to stand the
slightest strain. Reading, as one or
dinarily reads, is like swallowing pan.
thinking, like eating solid food. The
man who trains his mental powers by
meditation and by following outlines Of
thought obtains an intellectual instru.
ment hundred times more powerful
than he who is content never to think
seriously and consecutively.-London
Spectator.

The editor of the Reveille, in his
sketch of the deceased General Butler,
says; "There was no aristocracy with
him in birth or wealth. The only
aristocracy he recognized was that of
brains, and he was standing candi-
date for its craftsmanship" This is an
admirable suggestion, and should be
incorporated as an ambition in every
life. To estimate man or woman
from the standpoint of birth or wealth
is TO raise false standard, which must
have beIittling influence on the char.
acter of him whose Ideals of manhood
or womanhood rest on such a basis.
Wealth brings opportunities for culture
and intellectual development denied to
one whose condition is not so fortunate,
and nobility of birth opens the way to
attachments in certain lines denied to
the poor and unknown, and yet in
reading Of Franklin, Morse, Edison,
Washington, Lincoln or any Of the
great men who stand out as historic
lights one does not think of their
ancestors, or as to the condition Of
their purses. IL is the eulogy either Of
the aristocracy Of individual character
or Of brain power which the world
intuitively pays to these men. 10 be

J well and favorably known, imposes
