But there is no abSolution for man

Grover has never been a farmer. He
has never warmed up to a congressman

gently socked the government donation

Although better prepared for state

mount from every point of consideration,
the prospect now is that Oklahoma will
be left as it is, while the mongrel COM
munitles of Utah and New Mexico and
the littIe-better dependency of Arizona,
will III all probability be admitted as
sovereign states. Such discrimination
against so worthy and deserving COM
munity as our neighbor to the south is
an outrage. If statehood is withheld
from Oklahoma from political considera-
tions-and there can be no other excuse
it will fix the political complexion of
that territory, making it definitely Re-
publican. Oklahoma wants statehood,
but not at the sacrifice of honor and

The prevalent endemic, commonly
designated the grip, and which has
spread pretty well over this country, the
doctors say is not la grippe but rather of
the nature of influenza, produced by
suddenly taking cold. While some of
the symptoms are quite similar in the
two affections, the latter usually yields
readily to treatment, while the former
is very stubborn and most frequently re-
suits in disorganized nervous system
followed by st. Vitus dance, neuralgia,
consumption and half dozen other dead
ly ailments The best medical authori-
ties declare that the genuine la grippe is
an epidemic and never appears in

"MAKE WAY FOR HUNGRY HIG-
GINSlo

So Winkelreid Lewelling has cantered
| up to the phalanx of busy housewives, of
timorous maid servants, Of bull dogs
| with low, receding foreheads, of hired
men with pitchforks. And he has
gathered them unto his arms and cried:
Make way for Hungry Higgins"
No wonder that great dominion which
is located contiguous to the kitchen,
with its perspective of tin cans, slop
buckets and wealth of wood-pile; over
which the housewife rules with "a roll
ing-pin for sceptre, is in fever OF ex-
element.
The common enemy Of the tramp,
the maid, housewife, dog and all, have
heard the mighty mandate of the gov
ernor of Kansas. ''Stand back and
give the tramp a chance. No more
arrests: no more rock piles" They
tramp shuttle to the back door, de-
mand a hand-out for himself and that
mysterious companion who is always
s'around the corner" They must ac-
quiesce or endure his insults, which are
sure to come if there is refusal.
There is no recourse to law. There
has never been any. The summary JUS
tice of backyard legislation has been in
use for decades. When tramp has be-
come fractions, it has been the custom
to waive Conkling on Criminal Law and
Criminal Practice and quote large, forci-
BILE extracts from the family bulldog.
Many times when copy of Washburne
on Personal Liberty was not, at hand, 1t
has been found expedient, in convicting
a tramp, to sustain the case against him,
by reading from article 8, section 6, of
large, honey, Srawny hired man with
a pitchfork. But this must stop.
Governor Lewelling says that the
tramp must no longer be put upon the
rock-pile. He makes a serious. bung-
ling mistake when he gives his reason.
He confuses the unemployed workman,
'the victim Of industrial conditions"
with the common, dirty, vicious,
ragged tramp. He does not
seem to know that the tramps
belong to confederation, which Is
thoroughly organized, as thoroughly or
ganzed indeed as the Malta. That con-
federation has its secret cypher language,
which is chaIked on gate posts and
fences, all over this country, conveying
information of places that can be pillaged
with safety.
An idle brain is the DEVILS workshop.
The common tramp would not work If
he could. He is lazy by nature, and a
loafer from choice. He is degraded and
dangerous. The police know this and
the necessity of keeping him
in hand. But they are now told by the
governor of Kansas that their regulation
of the tramp must cease. If they follow
his instructions, there is a danger and a
serious one to the community. Many, #
not majority, of the criminal classes
are recruited from the travelling army Of
tramps.
If the governor thinks that his mis-
taken mercy for the tramp is a shrewd
political move, he is in error. His pro-
clamation may food the state with
tramps, but their votes, if they should re-
main in one place long enough, will not
the votes of the citizens of
Kansas, who have as much sympathy
for the unemployed workman as Lewell-
ing has, but who are too sensible by far
TO canonize the vicious, despicable tramp.
As it stands, the sunflower state is
liable to food of tramps, while a lot of
rock Is going TO waste.

Bust not too large; waist no. too slim,
Her mouth perfect one must be,
Fer neck the swans for symmetry;
Her hands must show the greatest care,
Her feet dainty. slender pair.
In word and act charm. a grace,

The woman thus by nature blessed
Needs nothing, save to be well dressed

The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-12-06

If Mr.. dwellings recommendations
to the police commissioners of the state
iii relation to tramps should be needed
and attempted to be carried into prac-
tice, it would simply mean the turning
over the cities of the state to the bum
element, who would be only too quick
to avail themselves of the privileges, and
life to the decent citizen would become a
burden and property rights bauble.
The governors reason seems completely
dethroned: his friends should take
charge of him before he does himself
bodily violence.
