THE MANNER OF MAN HE is.

The man whom the Republican
party has named for Governor, who
would redeem the name and rein
state the credit of Kansas. is a man
of self poise and fine presence. Ed
mund n. Morrill, is a physical stall
wart of broad and wonderfully even
balanced mind. There is in his COM
manding presence gentleness of
demeanor which impresses the new
acquaintance as being contradic-
tory and incompatible. The tones
Of his voice comport with his char
acteristic kindness. 1t is only in
his earnest moments, when controll-
ed by conviction, that his quiescent
but unusual power of body and
mind manifests itself in the blaze of
his eye, his COUGHING attitude and
marvellous change of information.
Ordinarily, in his everyday inter
course with his fellow man, in his
family, or among his colleagues in
Congress, he is the very soul of
kindness. He resembles the late
lamented Garfield, mentally and
physically, in many respects. partic-
nlarly in his sweep Of power when
aroused, in his way of suddenly re-
lapsing into the most delightful,
courteous and amiable converse.
The stoop or inclination of his mas
sive shoulders comes of many years
of the closest application to legisia-
tive and counting room desk, IN and
out OF the state. He has a long,
powerful stride and his fine impas-
sionable face is a perfect index to
his Character.

n lever Give Up.

1t is no use to make yourself misera-
able about the dry weather and the short
crops Life is too short for this. OF
course it is little tough but we will all
live through it and will be happier in
the end. Away back in 1859-60 we
didn't have drop of rain in eleven
months and the corn crop did not aver
age an ear to the county, taking Kansas
all over; and besides we had nothing
else. The people shipped in some corn
and lived on corn bread, sorghum and
moIasses, mush and milk, when milk
was to be had, parched corn, coffee, and
they wore coon skin caps, buffalo hide
breeches, while the woman folks often
did not have an extra calico dress to
their backs. There were no railways
and we had 10 haul corn from the Mis-
souri, river by OK team. Lots of men in
this valley went to Atchison for little
jag OF corn, wheat, beans and dried APP
pies, which were sent to us by the east.

man is pot, simply because she is a
woman. A woman who has mar
ried since 1913 may hold her real
and personal property free from the
debts and control of her husband.
The husband is still bound to sup
port his wife so long as the marriage
relations continues, and if he fails
to do so his wife may pledge his
credit for any necessaries. A mar
ried woman may sell, give or will
her separate property free from the
debts or control of her husband.
The husband, however, can neither
sell, give, nor will his real estate un-
conditionally without the consent of
his wife. These among other privi-
leges have been granted to women
who are now seeking political equal
lily. Holding these advantages in
one hand, they seek to grasp with
the other some imagined rights still
withheld from them. This does not
present woman in an admirable
light. We seem to have gone back
to barbaric times. What hope is
there for the world when man and
woman, these two who should make
one, are arrayed in conflict. A
house divided against itself cannot
stand. These two great divisions of
human family, with their respective
characteristics, ought to be one in
unselfsh efforts for the general
good, supplementing each other, not
trying to seize privileges or profits.
Combined they should strive to leave
the succeeding generations a legacy
of added courage and purity, con-
tributing "the characteristic labor
and the best gifts Of each Of the
common stock" Mrs. Abbott in
Harper's Bazaar.

A Kansas Rip Van Wrinkle.

Yes, it was strange case. Henry Nc
Carthy lived in western Kansas town.
In the spring OF 1895 he disappeared
Hide nor hair of him was ever found.
One day the truth came out, he. had wan
dered away into the sand hills and had
slept, like Rip Van Wrinkle twenty
years.
1t was in 1915 he strolled back into
the great city which he had only known
as village.
His strange appearance excited COM
Fment and the old man became timid
and FASTENED to escape the vulgar, curl
Gus gaze. He tried to find some of his
old-time political friends, but they were
all gone. He was startled to see their
cheeks painted and their hair banged.
AS he passed along the streets, a
woman-he knew she was a woman by
the breadth of her hips-turned and
scanned him curiously.
'Heavens!'' he heard her say "What
a masculine looking man"
This was too much for the already adj
died brain of the old man and he threw
himself on the mercy of woman who
was smoking a cigar at the foot of a
stairway.
'Tell me, )" he said stea!thily, "What
does all this mean2 Do the women run
everything now? Have the men changed
places with the women?"
''Of course they have, you old fool, =
said the woman.
The old man did not wait for more.
He fed from the town. He paused not
to resent the jeers OF a set of rutfian girls
who were loating in front of a joint. He
went on, intent alone in leaving this
new world into which he had the mis-
| fortune to awaken.
But he had grown old and became
tired and-strange feeling-He felt hum
CRY. He picked out little restaurant.
The same little stools stood near the
lunch counter.
Good" exclaimed the old man, as he
recognized these old friends.
But the cruel blow was to come, and
all unaware the old man glanced upon
the wall where placards announced, in
the good oldway, the viands on sale.
"What's that?" he said, reading one.
::'Pie?" Well, that's good. But pie
what? My eyes are very dim. l will get
closer. Great heavensl /"
The old man faltered, reeled, and fell
dead
The sign he had read was worded:
"Pie-mince pie like your father used
to make. Wichita Eagle.

Missouri bacon was twenty-five cents
per pound, with no money to buy;
there was no butter nor lard, no chick
ems to lay eggs and not a fat beef animal
in the state; while dried apples was the
only "fruit" to be had at any price.
There were but few mills to grind the
corr so that it was not an uncommon
thing for farmer to go sixty miles to
mill. There was but little lumber and
no mills to saw it. The houses were of
logs and dugouts. And yet for all this
we were happy and came out all right !;
and we have no patience with the people
who now want to lay down because
everything apparently, seems to be
against US. The country at large is in
financial distress, prices are lower than
ever before, crops are extremely short
and thousands don't know hardly which
way to turn. And yet now is just the
time to show what kind of stuff you are
made of. Get down To bedrock, live
economically, brace up, plan and scheme,
and work harder than ever and you will
come out all right in the end. Kansas
is the brightest spot on this globe and
because the Lord seems to be Furnishing
us for our Wickedness we should not
charge it up to the state. Live better
and pure lives, don't be so everlastingly
selfish, have more love to God and love
to man III your hearts, and we will have
more rain when we need it, better crops,
better prices. and more happiness among
the people. We have corn and wheat,
cattle and hogs, lots of fruit and vegeta-
bles and some to spare to those who
have none. Wehave comfortable homes,
health, strength and much else to make
US thankful we live in aland OF freedom
and now is the time to show oul
charity, christianity and patriotism
and the people who help their neighborS
in distress will be doubly blessed-Eldo

SOME WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

The Anglo-Saxon countries the
condition of woman has been stead
lily improving. Even at times when
she has heen completely under the
domination of man she has been in
certain senses we'll protected by him.
Although by seeking one may find
some cruelties In the law at the
present time, there are many special
privileges accorded her. In certain
actions for Islander it is not neces-
sary that a woman should prove
damage, the slandrous words being
themselves sufficient 70 sustain judg-
ment. If the same words were
used In reference to a man he must
prove pecuniary damage. A hus-
band who is suing wife for divorce
for an alleged fault of hers may be
required to pay her counsel fees and
alinony during the action, although
it may be subsequently proved that
he has good grounds for divorce. A
woman is not required under SINH
lar circumstances to contribute any,
thing to the husband and the house
hold for the loss of her services.

man is subject to arrest and We
