REASON DROWNING SENTIMENT

That sentiment controls the actions
of men more than reason is easily de-
monsuated. The impressions that an
individual makes upon his fellown.eu
are largely his stock in trade and they
enter largely into his success or fail
ure in life.
1t is much the same with sta-es and
towns. There are thousands of people
throus bout the country who have new

opportunity deride the state and en-
phasize their superior judgement by

THAT LEAvENwoRTH BANQUET

The editor of the Eagle acknow-
lodges the receipt of an invitation to
attend the banquet given by the city
of LeavenwOrth to the members of the
legislature in honor Of the election
of Lucien Baker to the United States
senate, which occurred last night,
and also a request from the commit
tee on toasts for five minutes speech.
Circumstances rendered an acceptance
impossible, but the incident recalls the
occasion of another like banquet that
occurred in that city almost a quarter
Of a century ago, over the election of
Hon. Alexander Caldwell, in which the
editor of the Eagle had the honor of
participating as a member of the state
senate. Leavenworth at that time was
one of the richest, most influential
and prosperous cities of its size in the
entire country. The town boasted its
dozen or so millionaires, in the persons
of Mr.. Caldwell, the new senator
elect its Carneys, Smiths, Anthonys,
Alternatives and StevenSeS. Every
body had money, lots of it and more
In sight. Never before or since was
such a banquet spread in the state.
either as to cost or as to the number
participating. The festivities at a late
hour were transferred from the hall
to hospitable private homes, and to
the clubhouse, where all the army
officers Of the Fort and of the surround
ing stations had found a rendezvous.
In short it was late the second night
before the storytelling, the hilarity
and the clatter of glasses ceased. and
five thousand dollars worth Of cham
payne had completed the roundup
of headaches.
The editor of the Eagle sends greet
ing to Leavenworth and TO her new
Senator whom the whole state of Kan
Sas proposes not only TO claim but TO
honor

THE c1TY's AND couNTYs POOR

The question of the city'S and cuun
tvs poor is becoming very serious one.
serious not only to the board of county
commissioners but to the taxpayers,
and something will have to be done.
IT is probably not exactly correct TO say
county poor. because it seems that very
few applications for relief come from
the body of the county. The destitute
are found in the suburbs of the city.
quartered in the shells that were erect
ed for speculative purposes, and in the
shantieS found near the business streets
Much property is delinquent, taxes are
high already, no surplus in the county
treasury, and no public work Of any
character. This is the condition OF
things confronting the county commits
siOners, to whom all the destitute look
for aid. Hours of every day, hours in
which county business is pressing, are
taken up by men, women and children
applying for relief The largest num-
Der are children. AS systematic in
Quiry must follow every application be-
fore relief can be granted, the whole
time of sanitary policeman is thus
taken up. The commissioners say that
in almost every instance the facts are
found to be as represented by the APP
plicants. 1t is nearly always a case of
4 family of husband, wife and children
destitute of food and out of fuel. the
father being unable to procure employ
ment. Now and then it is an artisan
or mechanic, but generally day Ia
borer. They are neither poOr-hOuse or
hospital subjects; simply hungry peo-
pie unable to obtain work. How to re-
lieve the deserving and yet not impose
upon the taxpayersis perplexing prob
lem for the board OF county commits
sicners, who are constrained to give all
a hearing and to grant relief in cases of
threatened starvation and death.
1t would seem wise, for many consid
eratiOns, to bar applications from chill
dren whose parents are bodily well and
to send them home. Next comes the
some move for the employment of all
the destitute, able-bodied men until
such time as work can be found or at
least until the return of warm weather.
In that line comes the proposition of
street improvements 1t is bad public
polity to give the peoples money out
for nothing. 1t would be better for the
public veal and for the future well
fare of the children that the head of
the family carry a shovel full Of dirt
to one end of the street and then carry
it back again for pay than to be made
the recipient of the peoples money in
the way it is now paid out. Such char
ity breaks down self respect and self
reliance and inculcates mendicancyand
trampism.
These facts and suggestions are
neither fullnOr comprehensive, but their
discussion might lead to some practi-
cal solution whereby the commission
erS and taxpayers would be relieved
and the deserving destitute provided
for
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-02-02

the outgrowth of sentiment, a senti-
ment that is bound to change in time.
And when the change does come Kan
sas will experience an era Of pros
perity such as she has never known.
The sentiment in regard to Kansas
today is such that every drouth and
cyclone is supposed to bear Kansas
copyright. 1t is but few weeks since
very substantial aid was sent to Kan
sas for drOuth sufferers, when no ap-
peal had been made. The kind-hearted
and benevolent donors knew that there
had been crop failure somewhere and
jumped to the conclusion that it must
be in Kansas. And while their offer
ings were returned, they are liable to
fall into the same error next year.
The trouble is that we have never been
able to live down the disaster of 1874.
We have offered up sacrifices and ex
tended aid to all our needy sister states
but we can not wipe out the deepseated
impression made by accepting charity
in our infancy. Today with an over
production of the staple crops Of the
Southern states and an Over-prOduction
of wheat the staple crop Of the extreme
North, Kansas with an adaptibility
for all crops and her cheap lands should
begin to attract a large per cent of that
immigration that is seeking to secure
homes and wealth from the products
of the soil
When reason browns sentiment Kan
saS will come to the front

How scrupulousiy clean are the

carefully swept; all along the wall Of
the spacious room, seats and couches
covered with fine variegated rugs; the
walls tastefully decorated with pic
lures and mirrors, and large cupboards
filed with luxurious fruits, meats, pas
try and jellies. Thousands of white
bread winners in the large cities would
envy these Indians if they could behold
their affiuence and contented state.
Nor do they obtain all this without ia
tiguing toll. The land is barren and dry,
which compels them to induce irriga-
ton through long canals from far-away
streams.
The Pueblo pottery OF to-day differs
but little from that Of the sixteenth
century. In the pottery villages the
work is done mostly by men, who sit
on the broad, shaded platform and
shape their immense vessels in imita-
ton OF human beings and every mag
Unable animal shape. The grotesquely
shaped mouth is generally intended for
the opening through which the water.
soup, or milk is poured
The squaws are assuming more and
more the occupations OF the modern
housewife. though they still grind their
corn in the stone troughs used hundreds
of years ago, and they still bake their
bread in thin layers on hot glowing
stones.
Dressmakers and tailors still go
a-begging among the Pueblos, and no
attention whatever is paid to Partisan
dictators of fashion. The good Pueblo
squaw cuts, fits and sews all the cloth
ing for the family. which used to be
composed mostly Of leather. Her hus-
bands wardrobe consists now OF few
multi-colored shirts, q pair or two OF
leather pantaloons with silver buttons,
moccasins and shoulder blanket.
The headgear, if any be worn. is
simply large, colored handkerchief
Girls are usually dressed like the daugh-
ters Of southern farmers, but they re-
fuse to discard the boomers, over which
the petticoats are worn little below
the knees These leathern pantaloons
are necessity in country where poi
sonous snakes and insects abound in
gardens and fields. To see a Pueblo
girl at her best, she must be surprised
in animated gossip in bevy OF girl
friends, or when engaged in mirthful
laughter while a. work. Then the ex-
pressive, deep black eyes sparkle, and
the white teeth offer glittering con-
trast to her fine black tresses, eyes and
eyebrows.
The Pueblo Indians are to be con-
graduated on one fact, especially. that
they permitted their moral improve
ment through the agency Of the black
frocked missionaries and school teach
ers who came from the east, but also
that they are one of the few tribes that
resisted the constituencies rascals who
would wreck their homes through fire
