STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
A WICHITA WORD.

Disaster broods over the land, and q
general crop failure succeeding the dis
tress Of financial panic becomes like
the blackness of a storm added to the
darkness of night. Individuals, firms
and corporations, Signalize each succeed
ing dav with added failures in every
state in the Union. 1t is a testing time
for every kind of industry and of all con-
ceivabe enterprises The clearest titles
alone stand, and but the very fittest sur
viVe, Cities have dwindled into towns,
towns into villages, and villages into
waste places. There is a dearth of OBJ
legations unpaid, of notes unredeemed
and debts repudiated. Corporations are
n the hands of receivers, and munich
palities have defauited on the interest of
their bonds. The west. more than the
east, Las suffered principally because of
her efforts to pay baclc to the east the
capital which she had borrowed for ma
te-ial development. And the end is not
vet. When it shall have come only those
towns and cities as had an ascendant
reason for existence will be found to
have survived the crush. All others
viii prove but wrecks and ghosts of
cities that must shrink back to the pro-
portions of county seats and trading
points. Texas, California, Nebraska,
Kansas and other western states have
been Boosting cities which in ten years
hence will be found TO he but county
towns.
AS toa survival of the flttest no young
city IN any of the states named has en-
dured the trying tests to which Wichita
has been subjected. The retreat of her
scores of wild cat addition boomers was
followed by the collapse of two of her
banks and later the suspension of a
third, receivership for one of her great
packing intererests and the consequent
Gripping of her live stock market and
the other packing concern. Such cul-
minatioE of disasters would have
crushed any other city with less reasons
for living. The natural superior advan-
tages of her location more than even the
gritty enterprise and staying qualities of
her citizens has sustained her business
and property IN marked and wonderful
way. When the bottom of all the
trouble of the country shall have been
reached and the reverse wave which has
submerged the entire west shall have
flown back, every suspended interest of
Wichita will not only resume, every
line of trade revive and increase, but all
her property values will be reinstated at
par figures.
Five years hence Wichita will be the
greatest city in Kansas as she is the
greatest today in and off herself.

DEBS Willis AND BEGS.

Debs is protesting his innocence, He
is daily declaring that 1T is wrong to hold
him for the wave OF murder and vandal-
ism, Of fire and destruction, which
marked the late strike. There is no
guessing what Chicago court may do.
But the American people as whole,
have made up their verdict in the Debs
case. They hold that had Debs never
issued his so-called sympathetic order
there would have been no crushed en-
gineers and firemen, no murdered mil
tia, and 10 burning of property in Chi
cago and at other points. That conclu-
sion holds MIR. Debs and his conferees re-
sponsible, and his plea Will not avail so
far as public opinion goes, which public
opinion demands that the punishment
shall fit the crime" For him to plead
that the public is prejudiced will effect
nothing. because it is not true. The pub
lie knows little of him as a man, and Is
prejUdi ced neither one wav nor the
other. But against the lawlessness,
which, if he did not instigate, at least
grew out of his acts and his alone, they
are set and determined. Nobody denies
that he is shrewd and smart, but that
does not mitigate his dangerous charac-
ter. Mr.. Debs should be accorded fair
trial and given every opportunity to de-
fend himself, even to the extent of the
public paying his expenses, but the case
IS too far reaching to be either quashed
or sighted. 1t is question of the su-
premacy of law and order.

HOW POSTAGE STAMPS
ARE MADE.

Every part of stamp making is
done by hand. The designs are
engraved on steel, two hundred
stamps on a single plate. These
plates are linked by two men and
are printed by a girl and a man
Oh a large hand press. They are
dried as fast as printed and then
gu1nned with starch paste made
from potatoes. This paste is
dried by placing the sheets in a
stean-fanning machine, and then
the stamps are subject to a pres
sure of two thousand tons in ny
draulic presses, Next sheets are
cut SO that each one contains one
hundred stamps, after which the
paper between the stamps is per-
forated and, after being pressed,
the sheets are filed away. If a
single stamp isinjured, the whole
sheet is burned.

TEACH THEM TO READ
NEWSPAPERS.

Teach the boys and girls to
read newspapers-not sensation
al, trashy ,smutty sheets, but clean
respectable, plainspoken papers.
1t will do them more good than
can be calculated. 1t will make
them intelligent. 1t Will give
them food for thought. 1t will
cultivate a taste for more exten-
sive reading. 1t will cause them
to love home better. It will
make their intellect keener and
their hearts happier and better.
Then as they grow in wisdom,
they should also be supplied with
first class magazines and good
books. Such opportunities will
be worth more to them than
minis Of gold. By all means cul-
tivate a taste for reading among
the children; and a good local
paper is the best to begin with, as
the children can there read about
things that are familiar to them
about their town and county,
and concerning men and things
of which they have personal
knowledge. From this they can
go on step by step until they
rank among the most intelligent
people OF the land.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Those firms whose names you
see constantly before the public,
know that advertising pays.
They have tested it thoroughly.
The reader may not read every
time the advertisements, but he
sees it and he's impressed with
the fact that that firm wants to
secure trade and is willing to bid
for it; an impression he made and
when he wants to purchase goods
he just follows that impression.
Occasionally firm succeeds
very we'll without advertising but
the proprietor has to split his
throat and often times sEortens
his days working for what adver-
Using would bring him.-Ex.
