comes from. Not only this, there are
American agencies to assist this inn
ported labor to find employment,
thereby displacing the American la.
borer and transforming him into va.
grant, having no visible means of
support. OF course these agencies
have been realizing large profit from
their business. In their contracts with
our protected manufacturers, to furnish
them with cheap labor, they have stip-
ulated that the wages Of these lsborers
should pass through their hands in
order that they might make sure of the
commissions which the lRborers have
agreed to pay them upon the first year
or more Of service. By this means the
agents have plundered their victims of
their scsnty earnings and only left
them the most meagre means of sub
sistence. Now the government pro-
poses to remedy this abuse. HowP
BY licensing the agencies. A fee will,
of course, be charged for this license,
and in consideration of it the govern
ment will undertake to protect the inn
migrant from excessive charges by the
licensed agents. The government will
thus become party to this business of
procuring employment for immigrants
and will share, through the license fee,
in the profits of it, and that with q full
knowledge of the fact that every posi-
tion secured for one Of these imported
lsborers displaces an American citizen.

There Is little more In the above
dispatch than at first appears upon the
surface of it. Let us note a point or
two.
1t illustrates the protection which
our government affords to American
labor. Under this system of protec.
tion foreign goods, offered for sale in
competition with American manufac.
tured products must pay a tariff duty
for such privilege of competition.
This gives the American manufacturer
an advantage over his foreign compet-
itor equal to the full amount of the
duty. How is it with the American

than to wait until some accident should
occur and become involved in suit
for damages. Well, the people voted
the bonds, and the new bridge will
probably be built. Now the question
has occurred TO the Capital, what shall
be done with the old bridgeP In the
issue of December 3 1t is graVely pro.

bridge 10 badly needed at some point near
Rossville, and several OF che residents Of that
vicinity have been discussing the practic-
ability Of moving the bridge there or to some
point above.
Some time ago citizens OF ofWabaunsee county
attempted to interest Shawnee county people
in plan TO build bridge across the river at
or near Rossville, claiming that it would be
profitable and prove q great convenience to
both counties.
1t would not cost the county great deal to
move the bridge. Tit is not put to some such
use the bridge will probably have to be sold
for old iron.

was unsafe on Kansas avenue, will it

county, Is 1t not fact that the real
motive in building new bridge was
that the present structure is not quite
grand enough for the aristocrats of
the city, and that they succeeded in
bamboozllng the people of the country
into building more imposing oneP 1t
looks that way, and still there is no
reason to doubt that Shawnee county
farmers will vote for the next bond

would be a useless increase Of the debt

QUESTIONABLE METHODS.
Does Judge Moore Come Onto the Bench
With "Clean Hands?"


elected Judge of the Eighth district.
At that time 1t was impossible for the
Republicans to carry that district. In
a three-cOrnered fight the Populist
candidate would have been elected.
The Republicans were anxious to pre-.
vent the election Of Judge Nicholson,
so they conceived the idea Of non
partisan judiciary. Humphrey, who
posed as Democrat, was nominated,
and, under cover of a non.psrtisan
title, managed to get Democratic and
Republican support to the extent that
he was elected. In 1895, when the dis.
trict had been gerrymandered so that
it was probably safely Republican, the
non-partisan idea did not take with the
redeemers and o. L. Moore, q very
poor excuse of lawyer, was nomi-
mated on that ticket. A large number
of Democrats and Republicans who
honestly believed in non.psrtisan
judiciary and who thought Humphrey
had made good Judge, insisted on a
repetition Of the 1891 program and
Humphrey was renominsted. They
were somewhat surprised to learn q
little later that Humprey had refused
to run and had withdrawn from the
race. A letter setting forth a number
Of high-Sounding reasons was given
out. A large percentage of the voters
who would have supported him were
eventually led to vote for Moore, The
leaders and intimate friends of Hum
phrey became Moore men. Defeated
in the old district but elected by the
vote of the county added by the
gerrymander, Moore resigned his
position as Regenr of the
State University. The death of Hon,
Solon o. Thscher created a vacancy in
an honorable and fairly lucrative posi-
tion In the University law department.
Moore managed to hold his position
long enough to vote for and assist in
the election of Judge Humphrey to
Senator ThaGher's position. The re-
suit has caused the people of Moore's
judicial district to make a few rather
uncomplimentsry remarks in regard to
the matter. 1t is even limited that the
matter was fixed up before election.
1t is not probable that Moore's election
statement filed with the County Clerk
of Dickinson county makes any men
ton Of the matter. The people cannot
help clinging to lingering belief that.
as Judge Hazen would say, Moore
"does not come into court with clean
hands,"
If judge will be a party to such
schemes to secure an Office, what can
the people expect of him on the bench.
If he trades himself into office, his
success will have a tendency to em.
bolden him into trading after he gets
there. lie Is, however, fair sample
of the Republican politician. In fact
the party is SO honeycombed with such
schemers and such practices that few,
IL any, of its candidates are ever elected
unless they become parties to equally
questionable and disreputsble and even
worse methods.

THE VISITING GIRL.

Now that the girls are going away per-

ton in which they leave their rooms may
be OF value. | would advise them never to
leave their rooms in the disorder which
one girl did who recently went away on a
short vacation. OF course there was sup
posed to be some one to clean up after her.
the chambermaid, perhaps, but servants in
an American household are one of the I'M
certaintes of life, and the chambelmaid
did not put in an appearance on this par
ticular day. The woman of the house,
already seriously overburdened with care,
was the one who had it all to do One
would suppose a girl of refinement would
have been the last to leave such place,
but she had evidently been taught no
better, and the absolute confusion of scraps
of cloth and bits of every conceivable thing
was sight to fill one with disgust.
81 declare, it makes me lose all respect
for her, ;" said the person of the house, and
others shared in her feeling. There is
something about dainty orderly girl that
commands your respect if it does not win
your attention. You feel instinctively
that there is something exceedingly attrac-
tive about that order of mind, and you
respect her accordingly.
One Of the daintest sweetest little girls
| know always makes II a rule never to
leave a disorderly room wherever she is.
She times her packing so that she can have
time enough to pack up the leavings, so to
speak, about the room. 1t is part of her
training from judicious mother. and is Il
sort of golden rule also, not to leave things
that can ard should be destroyed as task
for Others to do away with.
If this is part of the golden rule, as it
certainly is boys should be instructed in it
also. How much trouble could be saved
in families if the lord and master of the
house could be induced to be orderly about
his own belongings. 1t is matter Of
training in early years, as well as one OF
temperament, this sense of order. Some
mtn show it in their surroundings. Their
offices are always in the most scrupulous
condition as to cleanliness and order while
others are indifferent in this way. Begil =
ming with boys in their early years, teach
ing them to fold napkin at the table or
to put away their books and playthlngs
when they are done with them requires a
little patience and oversight in the case of
the mother, but it works wonders in over
coming that Unborn self indulgence that
men are so prone to.

SENSITIVE GIRLS.

The problem OF dealing with sensitive
girls is a most difficult one for parents or
guardians. 1t is necessary that such girls
should be most judiciously managed. The
sensitive temperament is, Of all others. that
which makes most unhappiness and trouble
for its possessor, until he cor she has
learned to govern it and not allow it to
govern him.
The chief obstacle to helping people of
sensitive temperament whether such peo-
pie are young or old, is the idea which
dominates most of them that their sensi-
tiveness is merit, and not to be accounted
% defect or fault, or to he controlled by
the law Of common sense.
Sensitive people usually feel proud of
the suffering which proceeds from the
delicate condition OF their feelings, and
very scornful of these phlegmatic folks who
show little feeling, but work along happily
in rude and unsympathetc surroundings.
This belief in shared by young girls, who
are half proud, half happy, over the nature
they do not yet comprehend. They go
through much real misery, hugging their
sensitive feelings to their unhappiness
mutually encouraging each other.
Sensitive people, above all others, have
most need of that grand spiritual virtue,
common sense. And sensitive girls should
be carefully instructed as to the capabil-
tiles and dangers of their peculiar temper
ament They should be taught to govern
not only their actions, but their thoughts
and feelings by reason and judgment.
They should be shown how to argue their
thoughts and feelings, by reason and judg
ment. They should be shown how to
argue their misery out and reduce it to its
lowest terms before allowing themselves to
be made miserable by imaginary sorrows
And such girls should be made to be-
lieve firmly that no virtue lies in unhap-
piness The virtue and strength is to make
ourselves happy, not miserable, and al
though it takes some determination and
perseverance to claim onr inheritance, it is
well worth it when we have obtained it,
For girls, or for those older who have
never been properly disciplined, such train
ing is essential before they can find any
peace or comfort amid the conflicts of an
emotional temperament. The final virtue
of the sensitive spiritual nature is to be
happy. And although it may take many
struggles to attain this state, the mind
should be definitely made up that happi-
ness is the right and highest condition, and
that only weak minded people believe it il
fine thing to be miserable.
