Politics the Trouble
The thirty-tvv0 thousand Kansans who
I hold life insurance in the Ancient Order
OF United Workmen, are anxious about
the result of a political fight which has
been precipitated upon the order.
1t has not been customary for members
of the order to be candidates for the Of
fees which are dispensed each year by
the grand lodge, but q precedent has been
established by IL H Wheeler of Colony,
Anderson county. who wants To be elected
Grand Master " orkman, when the grand
ladge meets at Fort Scott next week.
AIr- Wheeler has for several months
been an aspirant TO this office and has
written letters to prominent members in
different parts of the state asking them
to give him their support.
a few weeks ago boom was started
for Col. j. w. i. Hughes of Topeka for
the position Of Grand Master Workman.
The suggestion Of Col Hughes name
turned the fight into a political warfare.
Wheeler Immediately upon hearing that
Hughes was likely to be nominated
wrote a letter to Chairman John W.
Breidenthal of the peoples party state
central committee who is a member of
the order asking him to lend his assist
ance to secure the defeat of Col. Hughes.
In this letter and lib letters written to
members of the order, Wheeler abused
Colonel Hughes as a traitor to the
state"
Breidenthal at once took up the fight
and has been working for the election Of
Wheeler and the defeat Of Hughes.
The a. %. V. w. is "a fraternal life ln-
surance society and the members who
have been paying dues and assessments
into its treasury for several years are in-
diguant that politics should be brought
into the order and many fear unless some
radical action is taken, the order viii go
to pieces. at least IT'D Kansas, and the
money already paid for Insurance viii be
lost.
As a way out Of the difficulty it has
been suggested that the present Grand
Master Workman Ed Murphy. of Leav-
enworth, be reelected for another term.
Murphy is Democrat and has filled tile
office satisfactorily to all the members of
the order.
At meeting Of representatives of all
the = o. u ". lodges i'm Topeka last
night q resolution was adopted favoring
the election Of Colonel Hughes. One of
the members who participated I'D the
meeting said this morning.
wv endorsed Colonel Hughes because
he is a Topeka man, but we do not expect
lie viii be elected on account of this
political fight which has been brought
into the order"
The real object of last nights meeting
was to endorse DR.. u j. Hibben for grand /
medical director
Dr. Hibben has been filing this Office +
by appointment for some time. and as he F
has performed the duties satisfactorily, I
the members ia this part Of the state .
VIII ask that he be elected fer the ensu- f
ing term.

A case that is now attracting
some attention in the newspapers
from San Francisco,is in which the
aggrieyed husband sues for divorce
because his wife bleaches her hair.
The allegation Of the petition is as
follows:
"Bleached or artificially colored
hair is easily distinguished as such,
and DIES not appear natural, nor
does it deceive any person, but
is perfectly patent and notlceably
conspicuous. It is regarded by the
majority of right-thirking persons
as an indication Of a losSe, dissolute
and wanton disposition, and is re-
garded as and commonly held to be
a practice never affected by modest,
pure and respectable women"
The injured husband claims that
he is mortified and Inundated Oh
account Of the change in the color
Of his wife's hair, and odds:
"She is brunette naturally. Her
hair is of chestnut brown color,
which, is in its normal state,
modest and becoming, and barmo~
nizes with the natural color Of her
skin and eyes.-Since we married
she has, against my wishes and
with in tent to vex, annoy, exaspe-
rate and shame, dyeing her hair
and changed its shade to consplc-
uous and snowy straw or canary
color. AS a consequence Of this
artificial coloring she has lem
obliged to paint her face to secure
an artificial complexion in keeping
with the artificial color Of her hair.
The combination has given her a
giddY, fast and sporty appearance.

Cuttings in Business.

Cutting is always demoralizlng

deserves 10 greater end than graft

articles, or a few particular things,
which he will sell at cost" his
next door neighbor vii! be apt TO
20 him ore better, and 50 it goes
on until perhaps every dealer on
the street Or in the town is selling
regardless Of what the goods cost
them. They think this method Of
competition is appreciated by con-
sumers just because they are thus
enabled to buy for limited time
dirt cheap The intelligent con-
sumer does not appreciate it, and
he respects the dealer less for doing
it. Why? Because it means bus
mess decentralization. and business
decentralization means less prosper
ity. And, besides, many Of a gro

mess men in other lines, and they
know what godbuslness meth'ds are
The only way for the honest grocer
