HARD TIMES.

III an Ut Az hED II dhD LIN Ed
In a letter reproduced elsewhere
IN today's STAR, Rev. ]. B. Gam
breI contends that hard times are
largely created by ourselves-tha.
stringency of money is largely due
to our extravaganza and lack o.
foresight.
THE STAR is not disposed to take
issue with Mr.. Gambrell on this
question. In fact, we constantly
see such extravaganza around us
that we are forced to believe him
right in the main.
When We see our young men
wasting the whole of their salaries
or profits of business in fine dress
ing, smoking, drinking, crushing
society,"" and the like, we can
plainly see that the hard times
many of them experience is due to
their own extravaganza and not to
any fault of Providence or the gov
eminent. When we see ladies
spending enormous sums for
dresses, household brio a-brac,
fine eating, and useless servants,
an important source of their hus-
bands hard times is discovered.
And then when we see so many of
our farmers buying corn, meat,
hay, horses and mules that should
be home raised, we set it down
that here is another case of self
manufactured hard times. On the
whole we believe that our South
ern people are more prone TO ex
travagance than those of any 9TH
er section. There are millions of
people who would grow rich on
what we waste.
There are very few people in the
world who ever accumulate much,
and there are very few that care to.
Well, they may care; but not
enough to make the effort. Most
people are we'll satisfied to get
along today and let tomorrow take
care of itself. Hard times to such
people is due entirely to their own
-ack of thrift and foresight.
Our people consider that thsy
are having very hard times now
and that they have to live mighty
close. Do they ever consider that
f they had lived this close for the
asst twenty years that all of them
could now be living on the interest
Of their money? When cotton was
worth ten and twelve cents our
lands were more productive and
arger crops per acre could be
made. Suppose those crops had
Ill been made as cheaply as now
Ind our people had saved the diff
renee between present prices and
he prices they formerly got? This
would have been the uealthicst
:ountry in the world.
Our people are fast learning true
economy. When they learn the
ull lesson, and if poverty still
'lnchcs them, they will have much |
nore right to complain than now.

If Kosciusko ever becomes a

On the contrary they would help

One of the greatest conventions of the
present year will assemble in Wichita
on the 18th day Of May and will con-
tinue for three days.
1t will be a convention Of all the
Young Peoples societies of Christian
Endeavor in the state of Kansas. and
not less than three thousand delegates
will he in attendance.
Father Clark of Boston. the founder
of the societies, will be present and adj
dress the convention. Other prominent
men will attend.
The local societies are making ar
rangements and committees have been
appointed to make all provision for en-
tertaining such a large crowd.
The delegates all pay their own way
and the duty Of the committee of en-
tertainment will be to find places where
the delegates will be entertained at
reasonable cost, and the people will be
expected to provide lodging for a large
number of delegates as the hotels will
not be able to accommodate them all.
Some people imagine that the Christ
ian Endeavor is in reality Y. NJ. c. y.
under different name, but this is a
mistake. These Christian Endeavor
societies are UNCONVENTIONAL, while the
opposite is true of the Y. NJ. G. A.
Each society is loyal TO its own
church, but while that is true there is
a union Of societies and all their union
meetings are well attended. The ma
tional convention at Cleveland, Ohio.
last year was attended by over 10000
delegates.
The convention of course will have
to meet in the auditorium. as there is
no other building in the city capable of
accommodating the 5000 delegate
and others who will want to attend.
4 prominent worker in the Young
Mems Christian association said yes
terday that there would be a large
number of lady delegates to the con-
Vention. He said that the asSociat tons
were doing a great work and that any
one who did not understand the OBJ
ject of these associations had only to
imagine union of Young Mems Christ
ian associa ton and the Womans
Christian Temperance union.
1t is supposed that there viii be as
many people attend these meetings
who are not delegates as there will be
delegates. This viii make in the neigh
borhood Of 5000 people in attendance.

SOME LOCAL ENTERPRISES.
How Local Institutions Has Grown Within
the Past Few Years.

It IS no exaggeration to state that
I Wichita has been more liberal in the
matter of extending substantial en-
ccuTa cement to industrial enterprises
to locate here than perhaps any city 81
like population and wealth in the cOun-
try. And without referring to some II
the more pretentious that cost many
times as much as the sDoStantian bene-
fits have amounted - 10 the CITY. il is
pertinent lust at this time 10 note that
some of the most successful manufaC-
tories in the city today are those that
had their beginning on a medium scale
and received little Or no assistance save
that which merit and energy broght
in a business way. There are a num-
her of TINS kind in successful opera ton
in Wichita. and some OF them have
grown and developed right along
through all the adverse conditions that
have handicapped commerce and indus
try all over the country the past TWO or
three years.

FINE SYSTEM OF SAVINGS.
What the Possibilities Of Building and
Loan Societies are.

1t is said that the working classes Of
France had accumulated by Jan. l.,
1894 80, 00G. 900 dollars. which repre-
scented the small savings OF eight mil
lions of people, or an average OF $92
each. The practice of these
thrifty people of saving small sums
weekly is well worth imitation by our
own citizens, and as there is now pro-
vided a safe place To deposit and earn
dividends on one dollar or more a week
saved out of ones earnings IL is GER
tainiy a wise course to take, more es-
pecially as the money accumulated Is
loaned 10 our people and the borrower
not only benefits his neighbors. but par
ticipates in the profits and thus he is
enabled TO deal an effectual blow TO
the eastern capitalists who take away
from our community large sums an
nually in interest.
