WELL, WATCH WICHITA.

The Kansas City Gazette in noting
the fact of Wichita's new life, and in
making like claim for the big meat
and wheat town of the state, admits
that Wichita is bound to be the queen
bee of the sunfiower state. There is
no question about the ruth of either of
the statements. The future of Kansas
City, Kan, as the great wheat and
meat market of the Missouri valley is
just as assured as that Wichita will
be the great commercial and manu-
featuring city of south Kansas, not
OF no mean pretensions also. Leaving
out OF the question the possibilities of
irrigation TO the west of US, there are
productive lands sufficient lying within
a circle OF one hundred miles of WiCh-
ita. lands already under successful
and profitable cultivation. 10 sustain
such a population as will warrant the
existence and prosperity OF a central
city at this point of hundreds of thou
sands Of people. 1t is in the midst of
the area where the wheat and meat
are grown more uniformally success
fully and probably than in almost any
section OF the entire west Wichita is
going to grow and expand with the
growth and expansion Of the immense
interests with which she is surrounded.
Her next forward movement, the first
impulses OF which are now being felt.
will prove both splendid and solid.

When Novelist Grant Allen, in his
story of "Dumaresq's Daughter" per-
mitted one of his heroes to escape
across the burning sands of the desert
from KhartOum and the Mahdists,
the critics regarded it as one of the
improbabilities for which fiction has
a license. And now, three years after

enacted that role OF fiction in real life
by his romantic escape from slavery to

WELCOME TO LEWELLING.

Governor Lewelling, glancing at that
Squeaky utensil known as the guber-
Material chair, and kicking out his
feet with that peculiar grace common
to Populism when under undue stimu-
lation, said the other day: Il expect
to resume charge of my business at
Wichita as soon as / am retired from
Office, and will confine my political
work to the redemption of Sedgwick
county which is large enough for me-"
This is spoken like man. Wichita
will welcome Lewelling back. A for
tune in the produce business awaits
him here. The city is liyeiier and
larger than when he left it. Its terri
tory has increased. The demand for
eggs and tender, budding chickens and
fruit has steadily increased.
There is charm in being governor of
a state. 1t has its dazzling gew- gaws
Of honor and glittering bangles of dis
tinctiOn, but when it comes to warm
hearth of happiness and domestic con-
tcllt, al TIE tIuStlcu CiIdElSOu VI HUIDI
is as a mOlehill to a mountain when
compared to a good lively trade in
Wichita in any line of business,
whether it depends for its supply upon
the cackiing hens tina make barn-yard
music on the prosperous southern Kan
Sas farms, or upon the golden sea Of
interminable wheat fields, OF upon the
blushing atmosphere in glowing
orchards, or upon any of its varied
treasures of cash-convertible re-
sources.
There is room for Lewelling in Wich-
ita and for thousands more, the sole
requisite for success being ordinary
business capacity with a fund of
energy and push.
As for dwellings "redeeIning Sedg-
wick" county politically, Wichita and
Sedgwick county will see him later.

ARE WOMEN ABUSED BY MEN?

Do you think women are really
abused as much as they claim to be?
asks the ''Ouiet Observer" in the Pitts
burg Gazette.
1t seems to be fact that q majority
Of them, married and single, believe
they are abused by the men just he
rause the latter happen to have control
Of business affairs, run politics, and do
the counting.
The woman Of manageable ago who
Is still living at home feels that men
are not doing right by her. She natur-
ally wants to marry, have a big we'd
ding, and go on tour Of the eastern
cities, or western, as the case may be-
But she has to go on waiting because
no man asks her to join him IN these
festivities. For this reason she feels
that she is an abused creature.
The old maid who has settled ,5cwn
TO earn her own living just hates the
men because they allow her to wear
her finger nails off scratching for bread.
The sight Of a man walking comfort
ably along the street, or driving, or
even lounging around some resort,
causes her indignation to rise to tho
top notch. Why do they thus continue
to abuse her?
The shop girl wonders why the boys
do not gather around and ask her to
choose one OF them to be her defender
and supporter. She is quite certain
that she should not be permitted to
live by the sweat Of her brow, and the
whole of the blame is placed on tho
young men who are earning money
enough for two and spending 1t for
their own comfort.
Married women are the loudest COM
planners and their complaints are gen.
orally against their husbands. 1t Is all
right during the honeymoon, but when
that is over and they turn to face tho
realities of life she feels that she Is be-
ing abused. Her household duties are
heavier than when she was at home;
her husband Is not the signing lover
who filled her heart with joy, and her
days are not as thickly interpreted
with picnics as when she was q girl
As she thinks over this she becomes
more deeply convinced that she is
much abused woman, that husbands
ere not half as nice rs beaux, and Ia
quite certain she never would have mar
ried had it not been for the men,
Yet, in spite of all this, the abused
woman Is a most inveterate match
maker, revels in gossip about prospec-
tive unions and reads the paper
that publishes the longest list Of
marriage notices. No matter how I'M
happy her life, nor how much Of It she
blames on her own marriage, she fnds
her greatest delight in getting others
TO do the same thing she feels like kick
ing herself for having done.
No doubt some women are abused,
and sadly abused, but how about the
men? Think OF the life of the man who
has been so unfortunate as 10 get q
wife Of this stripe He may be no good
and fully deserve his punishment, yet
1t often so happens that he does all In
his power to stop these complaints
Suppose we call it standoH or agree
that both parties are greatly abused.

THOSE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS

The Eagle as We understand it favors
only such changes as will rebound to the
benefit of Wichita exclusively. If other
towns are to receive proportionate favors
IN freight tariff then Wichita wants no
changes. The difficulty in satisfying a
porker is nothing to the job of construct
ing rate sheet to suit the editor of the
Eagle. The most reasonable proposition
in the world is that such important ship
pers as those on the Missouri river should
have a member of the railroad commission.
kansas City Gazette.
When the Eagle said that there was
no sense in appointing Missouri river
man on the board of state railway COM
missioners. it meant just what it said,
and the Gazette ought to concede the
wisdom Of the claim made by us. Just
as well advocate the appointment of an
irrigation commission for western Kan
sas from among residents of the Mis-
souri, river towns. Its the man who
lives outside of the rain belt who
wants water. That combination of
traffic trusts and of railway terminal
interests which forced the recognition
of the Missouri river as a basing line
or general pooling point will just as
surely protect every Missouri river
shipper in his freight rates. The facts
cited will force lower rates indeed at
the mouth of the Kaw than could any
commission or any law, or than would
or could even be reasonably demanded
by the Missouri river shippers. 1t is
central and western Kansas that are
denied equitable freight rates. And if
we were the appointing power we
would not appoint man on that board
who lives within fifty miles of the
Missouri river any more than we
would appoint man living on the high
prairie on the west line of the state as
fish commissioner.

RAILROADS LIKE ANYTHING ELSE

Judge Brewer decided that the
freight schedule put in by the commits
SionerS of Nebraska under the maxi
mum freight rate law of that state
was unreasonable. and that the rail-
roads need not adopt the rates. Judge
Dundy has granted 4 rehearing upon
the claims Of errors in the decision
Judge Brewer took the grounds that
the rates We're unreasonable because
of the light traffic owing TO 4 failure
of the crop in Nebraska.
AT the time of the decision the Ea Gle
took exceptions to his rulings upon
such grounds. AS well might the mer-
chant increase his price at times Of
light business owing TO crop failures
as for railroads to be allowed to pro-
tect themselves from acts of provi-
dence by increasing their rates. Rail-
roads have freightS to sell and their
business is subject to the same laws
that govern trade and commerce, and
they should stand or fall by the condi-
tons that surround them. The en-
terpriSing merchants of today knows
that it is the volume Of his business
that needs his utmost care and atten-
ton and realizes that he must sell two
dollars worth of goods at the same
profit that he used TO get ON one dollars
worth of goods. 4 profit, or. charge
cannot be reasonable or unreasonable
because Of drouth or a falling of In
trade or freights. The railroads never
voluntarily reduce their rates. But
progressive merchant sells his goods
cheap TO extend his trade.

merr1cal card catalogue must treat Brown
and Robinson with like consideration,
and the greater the complexity of the cata.
logue the moro pains, time and intelli-
gence are required for its proper manage
ment. The credit man of the house has
general charge Of the card catalogue, but
in ordinary cases he is too busy and high
priced man to attend to the matter of
keeping il up. This may be intrusted to
an Intelligent Office clerk or q stenogra-
pher.
A card catalogue as an aid to private
memory has immense advantages to the
man of method. Some old time politi-
clans were SO famous for their memory Of
men and events that one is tempted to be-
lieve that they secretly used the card cata-
logue system in some crude form known
to an earlier generation. 1t would have
been like Our grandfathers, who SO general
IL dispensed with private secretaries, knew
not stenoSraphers and laboriously wrote
with their own hands the elaborate epis-
ties OF those days to have devoted hours
to the management Of a voluminous and
carefully secreted card catalogue The
system Is Invaluable to the modern con-
gresham peStered with a multitude Of
details, but not provided with a secretary.
1t is characteristic of modern divisions Of
labor and the rush Of modern life that the
man Of today, instead OF making his own
card catalogue, buys one ready made
along with elaborate appliances and labor
saving conveniences that make the system
an expensive luxury. The card catalogue
can be made to cost next to nothing IL the
user is conten: to employ q convenient set
of shallow CrawerS or covered frava 6pd
to cut out his own blank cards from stiff
cardboard. Any reading man or writer
or any housekeeper fond Of detail and gift
ed with method may start such a cata-
logue and keep it going at practically no
cost and very little trouble. With dozen
blank cards carried in the pocket or kept
within easy reach any reference may be
jotted down at convenience, and ten min
utes day will suffice to arrange all the
new cards in their proper sequence. The
card catalogue is the best possible address
book for a housekeeper or a social leader.
1t enables tbs housekeepcr to turn in
etantly to any one of thousand favorite
recipes in any one of the two dozen abom-
inably indexed cookbooks that make house
keepers break in spirit the command
against profanity. The clergyman, the
doctor and the lawyer may each with adj
vantage set up an inexpensive card cata-
logue on his Own account, always provided
he be man of method, but woe to the
man or woman who at
tempts to use this device. 1t will become
