sas. but they are really the controlling
forces in our government. when con-
sidered on a world basis. The diplomat
| is first man. He is born in much the
same way as the average kansan.
As years roll by he grows large. lumin-
Gus buttons on his coat; big rolls of
gold cord uncoil from his person and
lay in graceful festoons on the outside.
At the same time the voice of the en-
bryO diplomat undergoes a great
change, ripening into a soft. dulcetto
contralto which makes him enunciate
with the accent of a man with his
mouth full of hot mud with sand-burrs
in it. All this time his mind is moult-
ing large bump Of self-esteem which
eventually bulges out like the back
end of sunbonnet.
The diplomat is then ready to repre-
sent his government. This is deli
cate task. He must attend banquetS
and go through the motions of the low
disgraceful act of eating. he must
call ON the other diplomats and lalli-
gag lies and fattery. He is then
true diplomat and worthy repre-
sentative Of his government. To the
foreigner he becomes the true type of
his government
The Kansas man who strolls up to
the polls on election day and socks his
ballot into the box may think he is
representative of this government. If
he had been in Admiral Meade's place
he wouldn't have kicked because there
were 10 carriagS TO meet him. He
would have taken his valise in his
hand and gone up town and dropped
into corner grocery store and chatted
with the clerks good naturally, ever
and anon deity plunging his paw into
the dried apple barrel or nipping the
end off cracker. He would have
strOlled further up the street and
walked into the house Of the first diplo-
mat he could find and set his yalise
down on the center table and clapped
the diplomat on the shoulder or jabbed
him in the ribs with his umbrella.
He would have then spit behind the
sofa and been ready for business.
The next day the United States of
America would have a war on its
hands. Which plainly shows that
Kansas and Kansans have very little
to do with this government and very
little idea Of the stupendous amount of
diplomatic rot and iridescent imbecility
it takes to keep its dignity in foreign
lands intact

are required TO place them under
ground or at given height and there
is no reason why landlords should not
be forced to protect their patrons and
neighboring residents by keeping tene-
ment property in good sanitary condi-

or insulated wires owned by telegraph
companies.
The point made in the decision is,
that the public welfare is above the
private rights of any individual or
corporation. The law which secures
this is a good law, and should be en-
forced to the letter. 1t is therefore a
matter Of the greatest importance to
other cities that as high a court as the
New York safe court of appeals has
held it to be both constitutional and
just.
No man has the moral right to take
pay for a service or an occupancy
which endangers life. Neither is he
justified on moral grounds in main
tanning a nuisance on his own prem
ises. liable TO spread into a general
ntagion. If morally wrong II should
be legally wrong. Courts and judges
which have the courage to use above
precedent, and ignore long existing
customs, by basing decisions upon the
broad foundation of public good, are
making laws more enduring than mar
bile

MASTER MYSTERIES CT MASONRY.

| The myticisms and symbols Of
| Masonry, their beautiful truths and
| high morality, though yelled in al
| legory, shine out in all the civilizations
of the centuries, from the burning
! bush which ia containing bright
semblance of God Himself, lighted up
the countenance of His mortal servant
That this human institution will live
on until symbols shall give place 10
truth itself. until localities shall have
become realities there seems no ques-
ton. This law of the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of the Il am
that | am" has stood immutable amid
all the changes and enactments of sue
ceeding human dynastieS and bids fair
to live on until it shall catch the light
of eternity's dawn. From SolomOn's
temple to the temple Of the Nineteenth
century, from the tabernacle in the
wilderness 10 the grand cOnsistories
of today how many immortal names
its archives enroll. There have been
no battles. on land or sea, no contest
in field or forum, in which human
rights and destinies were involved,
that the voice and sword of its knights
have failed of noble parts and pur-
poses. Its fights have even been for
the elevation Of humanity, its victories
claiming for the race of man only
peace and fraternity. In our own
blessed land he who was first and
greatest wore the apron and held the
gavil And so nearly all of Americas
greatest statesmen and proudest
heroes were MasOns, fifty-two of the
fifty-five siGners OF the Declaration of
Independence being members Of this
ancient craft whose symbols. emblems
and fundamental truths while guiding
in the wisdom of palaces and of parlia-
ments have survived in the ceremonies
and beliefs of the nomad and Of the
savage.
Today will come to our beautiful
city, hundreds of women representa-
tives of the Eastern Star, the COM
manderS of the Blue Lodge, the knight
Templars, and the Shriners, for the
conclave and work OF the grand lodge
of the state Of Kansas. That the oc-
casion Of the days for which they shall
remain among us may prove alike
pleasant and profitable is the wish of
all our people in whose name the Eagle
welcomes them.

4 RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

KANSAS NOT TO BLAME.

4 perfect state-what a garden
what an Eldorado it would be. A
state embracing all climates, yielding
all products, possessing all attractions
what a refuge from the storms Of
winter and the heat Of summer, were
it only possible. But is 1t? There are
people In Kansas who talk of 1t as a
fact, and hold the state, and the people
who live In II, responsible for her fall
ing short of their ideal. With pre-
conceived ideas Of paradise, they
come to the state expecting to sit down
and enjoy every imaginable good thing
without effort. Finding things diff
ferent they rail at the people, and roast
the state.-never cOnceding that the dis
appointment comes Of their own idle
fancies.
Kansas. as a state has many attrac-
tons This cannot be denied. The
almost universal rule is, that the indus
trious man is satisfied. He plants and
tolls with the understanding that crops
may fail as they do elsewhere. He
figures for surplus, and usually has
it. The same economy and the same
industry which he found necessary in
an eastern state, bring him better re-
suits here. So il has been from the
day of the sod house, and so il will
ever be. Nine-tenths of the poverty in
Kansas is directly traceabie TO laziness
and incompetence. Many are poor
when they land in the state. That is
their misfortune. Finding no one to
feed and clothe them. 1t becomes mat
ter of native resources as to how a
living is to be made. Here thousands
fail, as they do everywhere. The will
miscarry and suffering follows. With
many IL is downright Indifference as
to bread and meat. Present ease is
the dominant idea. II is of no conse-
quence that starvation dwells next
door. Hungry wives and children
have no terrors till the real calamity
is on them. Kansas suffers from an
undue proportion of this class. Cheap
lands, a mild climate and desire on
the part of well-to-do friends to have
them self-supporting. are said TO be the
chief causes. Whatever the cause, if
the statement is true, the state ought
not to suffer by il.
There is work for thousands on the
broad acres lying idle. There is not
county in the eastern two-thirds of
the state that does not offer living
and something To spare TO any indus
trious man, capable of self-support
anywhere. Kansas should have her
dues. Natural resources are Of no
avail TO those who cannot or will not
use them.
