JUST BELOW THE RIBS.

The Lawrence Journal very artistic
| ally takes the surplus sail out of the
editorial unmentiOnableS of the editor
of the Topeka Journal. The Journal is
quite an enterprising newspaper, as
all Who are familiar with its columns
will agree But with ali his enterprise
its editor Is inclined to gOo-gooism.
In an evident spirit of superiority hay
ing announced that he did not conde-
scend to read such papers as the Law
renee Journal, the Emporia Repubh-
can and the Abilene Reflector, the first
paper mentioned addresses itself TO the
job of puncturing alluded to. The
hypocritical role so often essayed by
our Topeka contemporary has more of
bumbleton in it than of real dizziness.
Topeka and its papers are not so much
superior to everything in the state as
to be especially remarked. There are
halfway decent people scattered about
the state outside of that bailiwick. 1t
is possible for man to live in Wichita,
Lawrence, Atchison or LeavenwOrth,
and be opposed to the Prohibition law,
and yet, at the same time, be a decent,
respectable temperate citizen, and
Christian. In ignoring that fact or
by holding to the contrary, the esteem
ed Journal very frequently invites just
the dose its Lawrence contemporary SO
deity administered. That the Law
renee Journal, the EmpOria Republi-
can and the Abilene Reflector are all
bright, newsy dailies, edited with abil-
ity, in every way up to their environ
ments, and their editors equal to any
self-defense demanded of them, goes
without saying, and the editor Of the
Journal is aware of the fact. The
sooner that that paper and the other
Topeka papers realize that there may
be something good in Judea outside Of
their Jerusalem the better it will be for
them and their town.

DISSIPATION OF THE HOWL

Any individuals capacity for any
given thing is limited. This applies
to the individuals capacity for des-
pondency and despair. Despair itself
is sort of hope, and so we have the
old saying that it is darkest just before
dawn.
Kansas has been bowling calamity

! than airy other part of the country.

and that part of the Kansas howl
which excited national attention also
excited national ridicule. Towards

change in the sentiment Of the indi-

THE DYING DUMAS, Fills.

A dispatch in yesterdays Eagle con-
veyed the news that Dumas, fills, was
dying. The great grandchild of a full
blooded African negro, the son OF one
of the greatest story-tellers of the age,
his success in literature was unusual.
Whatever there may be in hereditary
transmission of characteristics, liter
allure is singularly free from exam
pies. The younger Dumas is an ex-
ception. And it is just as singular
that the blood of French woman and
a full-blooded African should result In
two generations evincing such great
talent in literature.
Alexandra Dumas was born In 1924,
when his father was only 81 years OF
age. The young Alexandra published
his first work when he was In his 18th
year; il was volume of poems, and
called LES Peches do Jeunesse." The
sin of poetry he has repented Of and
his next appearance was as a novelist,
in 1917, with a rather tedious romance,
-Four Women and n PARROT" In the
following year he published "Le Ro-

Dame aux CaInelias," all marked with
such dramatic power that the authors

Ex-President Harrison, in writing
upon "This Country of Ours" regard
ing the Fourth OF July, bewails the
decline Of old-time American patriot
ism and urges the people to go back 10
old-time methods and sentiments. He
says that the old-time Fourth of July
celebration, with its simple parades
and musters, the reading of the Declar-
alton, and the Grafton, that more than
supplied the lack Of glitter and color in
the parade-once the event of the year
went out of fashion. We allowed
ourselves to be laughed out of it. 1t
may be that the speaker was boastful,
but a boaSter is better than an apOl

POETRY AND DEATH.

It has become a custom Of editor;
everywhere to refuse to publish "cards
Of thanks" a young editor here or
there NAV come out fatty and declare
that hereafter he will publish no more
"cards of thanks" or obituary poems
| and the craft, that is the newspaper
profession. cries "bravO." The young
editor. or an old one either, may be-
neye he has been vindicated by the
profession, but there is always lnger-
| ing doubt in his mind as to whether his
| subscribers really think the better OF
| him for his "bold' stand. Much de-
| pends on what the subscribers do
| think. In a large city all obituary
notices are paid for and assigned TO a
certain part of rhe newspaper, so paid.
/ In the smaller papers in smaller towns
the subscriber who has had a death in
his family expects the obituary free,
also a "card of thanks" later, and per-
haps an obituary poem written by a
friend.
The editor in a small town refuses
to publish the poem with reluctance.
Events do not crowd on one another's
heels in such rapidity in a small town
that there is no space for the local
history of deaths and portrayal of
private woes even when such woe is eX-
pressed in cruelty feeble rhyme and
ungrammatical phrase. In small
community people are very close to-
gether socially. The grief of one family
is the concern of the whole neighbor-
hood and the neighborhood encom-
passes the community. A bit Of diplo
matte dry-rot from Turkey or Wash
ington or New York, in the eyes of the
subscriber, could be easily dispensed
with to make roam for a poem written
to touch the people and awake their
sympathetic nature, even granting that
the poetry is horrible and soul-racking
in its sentiment and composition.
And for some reason, which everyone
may explain for himself with some
thought, poetry dedicated to the dead
has soothing and kindly effect on the
bereaved. The poetry, let it be con-
feSSed, is usually bad, but there is a
condition of mind resulting from the
death of n near and dear one that
Crowns the intention and forgets the

whom it is written thank the writer

But the obituary poem is not con-
fined to small communities. Among
the Eagles exchanges is Baltimore
paper and in it are daily published
some obituary poems paid for.
Here is sample of the poetry which
is printed;
We knelt beside her dying bed,
And kissed her pallid brow;
We vainly pressed her icy hand,
She cannot heed US now
That hand is cold, that heart is still,
Our dream of bliss is Ger;
And now upon this dreary earth
She cheers our hearts no more.

And here is another gem of the same
kind:
Precious soul. thou art at rest,
Thy sufferirgs here was but test;
To try your faith our dear Lord thought
best,
Before He called you home to rest.

If the president chooses to interpose
his veto to prevent this. the response

This would involve. logically. restora-

been especially disastrous to our in
dustries. We therefore may expect TO
see the new committee Of ways and
means introduce revised tariff.
The same logic must lead to a refusal
to make the operations OF the treasury
in borrowing gold more easy than they
now are. These operations also grow
out of the unsatisfactory condition of
foreign trade, and it is hardly logical
to ask the Republicans 10 apply one
remedy, when they believe that the
other is the proper one. Both refusais.
however, will irritate the gold organs
