THAT CONVENTION HALL.

So many good sites have been offered
for the proposed convention and exposition
hall that there should be no difficulty on
the part of those entrusted with the Sc
lection in securing a most desirable and
advantageous location for the building.
The offers Of practical assistance have
been so numerous and so generous as to
indicate that little or no difficulty will be
encountered In raising the money if the
right location is taken. The enthusiasm
aroused by the success Of the Home Prod
ucts show and the bright business pros
poets that Kansas City is now facing,
would make 1t comparatively easy to Sc
cure enough donations to put up a sub
stantial building, even If the prospect of
profitable investment were not a part of
the consideration.
There is no reason, however, why those
who put their capital into such an enter
prise should not reap 4 double reward
the personal satisfaction and the business
advantages of having such an assembly
hall. and the profits accruing from a well
managed investment.
One OF the centrally located sites would
be much preferable. provided. always. that
the ground is large enough to admit the
construction of a great hall designed for
permanent uses. and embody with the au-
dltorium building good rentable store
rooms, thus insuring an income over and
above the hall rentals that would more
than pay the interest on the increase in
capital necessary to acquire such a site.
Several of the sites proposed are ample
in space and liberal in terms. but they are
not advantageous in location. 1t should
be remembered that If a central site can
be secured on good terms. the possibilities
of incidental rentals. from stores and the
like, would invite capital that could not be |
enlisted through patriotic or philanthropic

McKinIey's Timely Address.

From the Philadelphia Times.
President Mckinley has always been fe-
licitous in his public speeches. and he never
was more so than in the addresses he de-
livered in this city during the ceremonies
of inaugurating our great museums. He
could have spoken ~eloquently and said little.
but he spoke eloquentIy and said much, and
his incisive sentences clearly prove that he
meant to speak pointedly and impressively.
One of the most gratifying ~eatures of
President McKinley's addresses is the en-
tirely confident tone in which he expresses
his faith in American advancement and
early prosperity. He justly denounced the
pessimist. and he speaks from the optomis-
tic star lpoint. not recklessly, but with rea-
son. He understands the boundless re-
sources of this country, the exceptional en-
ergies and adaptabilities of the American
people. and he spoke for them when he
declared hat the country is not going
backward. but forward"
There were many sentences uttered by the
president in the several addresses he de-
livered in the city which are we'll worthy of
the careful study of all fair minded citizens.
There Is not the trace of the art of the
demagogue in any of his deliverances. They
are manly. patriotic and statesmanlike.
However Americans may differ with him
as TO his political theories, all must con-
fess that as chief magistrate of the Ameri-
can people he has fairly reflected their abil-
tiles, their resources and their confidence
in themselves.
The mere politician may carp and criti-
else, but the dispassionate American citi-
zen who desires only the advancement and
prosperity of the republic will heartily COM
mend the patriotic utterances of the presi-
dent during his late visit to Philadelphia

which the necessary money will be put
up. Under the original arrangement as to
dates the band tooters and the Chautauqua
tutors would have clashed.
Notwithstanding the wrangiing and con-
fusion, the members of the late legislature
enjoyed a great deal OF amusement. Among
the funny things that happened during the
session, says the Maries County Times. one
is recalled by Representative O'Fallon. of
Holt county. Up in Northwest Missouri. in
the platte purchase the gopher is a
great nuisance. Chinch bugs. drouths and
foods are not to be compared with him.
He plows deep under the green meadows
and builds extensive mound cities so high
above the surface that the farmer is not
only unable to NOW his grass clean but
must suffer his teeth haken loose and is
often thrown bodily from his machine. Mr..
O'Fallon was sent TO the legislature pledged
to the people of the northwest to afford
them relief. In due course of time he in
troduced a measure which he was pleased
to term his gopher bill" 1t provided that
a reward or premium be paid by the state
for each gopher scalp. The author of the
bill was in dead, hard earnest. and. of
course. it ought to have passed. But there
are those who are always willing to tie
themselves on to the tail of any popular
thing that comes along. and so it WIS in
this case. Somebody whose grapes and
cherries had been carried away by jay
birds made a strong and pathetic appeal
to the members and succeeded in getting
an amendment to the bill so tina 1t would
include jay birds. Then some smarty in
sisted that English sparrows be included.
and so it went. Mr.. O'Fallon was compelled
to sit back and see his pet bill amended to
death-take wings and fly away. He took
it all in good part, however. and later on
during the session he was one day deplor-
ing the fate of some good measure and by
way of coincidence to its author he en-
dearingly and almost with tears referred
to his lamented measure as the gopher
bill with the jay bird attachment"

Columbia and the CoIumbine.

From the New York Tribune.
The society to promote the adoption of
the as our national flower is a
year old and large and noisy of its age.
The claims of this beautiful blossom are
set forth by the apostles with admirable
zeal and eloquence, but there is a great
deal of missionary work to be done before
1t will be accepted. The great majority of
the people OF the United States do not yet
know what it is by that name. II is more
familiar as the wild honeysuckle. and
whatever other popular names it may bear
in different localities the botanists proba-
bly, know better than other people. Its ad-
vocates array a formidable list of the quail
iications which the nations flower should
possess, and assert that the columbine is
the only one native here which unites them
all. Having taken the field in greater force
and better discipline than the partisans of
any other bloom. they may win, but the
prospects are that they have quite a long
campaign before them.

The Broad Tire Again.

From the New York Tribune.
TIL recent report on the relative merits of
broad and narrow tires by the agricultural
experiment station at Columbia, Mo-. will
again call attention to this question so i'm
portant to farmers. The advantage of
broad tires is so obvious that the failure of
farmers to adopt them generally seems at
first sight strange. But there is a practical
reason for their apathy. When roads are
bad-and many roads. unfortunately, are
bad-the bread tire offers such resistance
that the vehicle cannot be moved. On the
other hand, although the narrow tire cuts
deeply through the mud, it can be moved
for that very reason. but, of course, with
a great expenditure of strength on the part
of the horse. For these reasons the aver
age farmer in a country where the roads
are frequently bad cannot be persuaded to
adopt the broad tire. A condition prece-
dent. therefore, to the use of the broad tire
is the general improvement of the roads,
and as that is a question of spending mon
ey, and often a good deal of money, the ar
in favor of broad tires does not ap-
peal to the farmer.
There are, however, many signs that the
farmers are beginning to appreciate the
great loss involved in the continued use of
narrow tires. And the time is rapidly COM
ing when they will be convinced that the
outlay for thoroughly good roads would be
more than offset by the saving in horse
flesh and wear and tear effected by the use
of broad tires. Every one who thinks about
the matter at all will see that not only
could a much larger load be carried on a
good road with broad tires on the vehicle,
but 1t could be transported much more
quickly, and with far less work on the part
of tho horses. So good roads and broad
tires are really the most economicaI in the
end. though they may involve a COMPARE
lively large initial expense. That is the
argument that will finally come home to the
farmers, who nave thus far been Indifferent
to the question. And when II does, the de-
sired reform will be speedily adopted.
Somewhat in the same line is the propo-
sition to build steel roads for vehicles. But
that plan would involve so great a depart
ure from traditional ideas in regard to
roads it is doubtful if 1t is feasible
at present. Blu an improvement in roads
followed by the general adoption of broad
tires for all vehicles would be a great step
forward, and would probably lead in time
TO the adoption of rails for all vehicles
by horses. Still further in the fut-
ure looms up the possibility of propelling
such vehicles by a motor. and then every
road in the country would be practically a
Visionary as some Of the ideas
may seem, the great improvement Of roads
during the last few years shows that the
reform is making progress.

Why Bland Is Absent.

From the Chicago News.
while we are Republicans says a dele
gate to the silver convention. 1--WE welcome
to our fold members of all parties who be-
lieve in the restoration of silver. We should
have been happy to see Mr.. Richard Bland
here with us, for he is a wise counselor"
What detained the silver sage of the
Ozarks? Why is he not here giving aid and
counsel to his fellow silverites? These ques-
tions we hear the reader ask; and well may
the unknown wonder at the absence of Mr..
Bland.
But Mr.. Bland Is not idle. His brain Iobes
throb and give forth rare thoughts on the
restoration Of silver and of everything else
that suffered in the black days of %. Deep
in his head cells there thrives a colony of
ideas on financial, economic, sociological,
physiological n psychological questions.
He believes not only in the free coinage Of
silver, but holds steadfastly to the theory
that until the neutrality-suspicious. of the
ornithorhyncus is accomplished this coun-
try cannot hope for a return Of good old
times.
Indeed, Mr.. Bland is detained at his Miz-
Zoury home by this one grand theory. He
hopes to have IL perfected so as to present
IL at the great convention in 1900. In these
calm spring days he sits on his pillow handle
and, with his whiskers bent low on his
breast. he thinks. When his intellectuals
are e-ncompassing his best thoughts people
for miles around stop work and stand with
bowed heads. The cows in the pastures and
the birds of the air feel the effect: the corn
and other cereals stop growing and all ma
ture seems to be under the spell.
1t would be like crowding the mourners
to ask the Hon. Dick Bland to shu down
his thought repository at this season of the
year. He is now thinking out a plan of SAL
walton and when he restores silver and de-
anthromorphizes the ornithorhyncus he will
be free to attend all conventions.

THE CREDIT MEN.

The National Credit Mems Association.
now in session in this city, is a body Of
more than ordinary influence and import
ance. We have numerous organizations
for the development CT new resources. the
extension Of general trade and the promo
ton Of particular interests. All of these
are very useful in their respective ways,
and all of them merit the cordial encour-
agement given them. by the public.
The organization of credit men, however,
is not seeking the extension Of general
or particular trade, hut the safety of each
and every business involving the grant or
the acceptance of credit. Its members are
experienced n informed upon all the
practices and laws governing this form
OF business interchange. They are some
thing more than individual Bradstreets or
Duns, for they must often take into con-
sideration moral worth and immediate cir
cCmstances as well as the business stand
ing and legal responsibility OF an appli-
cant.
When 1t is remembered what a vast pro-
portion Of the business of the country is
done on credit; how many great and useful
enterprises would never be projected but
for the ability of the projectors to secure
time on some of their obligations, the i'm
portance of these special monitors becomes
very apparent. Upon them devolves not
only the safety of the credit system but
the dignity and usefulness of this great
factor in commercial operations.
The laws of different states vary much in
their definition of credit obligations. The
main purpose Of the national organization,
now holding its second annual convention
In this city, is to afford its members an
opportunity to compare notes on their own
experiences, to hear recommendations as
to desired legislation, and finally TO seek
such legislative remedies as are necessary
TO correct existing evils and secure TO both
the giver and the receiver of credit the
best possible protection.
Whatever tends toward such uniformity
as will represent the highest intelligence
Of these experienced men, and whatever
shall serve to bring about a safe but I'M
restrictive conservatism. must be regarded
as healthful to business in general. AL
though this organization is only about a
year old, it has attracted most favorable
attention and has inspired most interest
ing expectations.

Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three, my fairy queen.
But a miracle of sweets,
Soft approaches, sly retreats,
Show h little archer there.
Hidden in your pretty hair:
When didst earn a heart TO win?
Prithee tell me, dimple chin!

Il can't tell you IL l try.
IT'S so long / can't remember:
Ask som. younger less than T."
Tell. o tell me, grizzled face.
Do your heart and head keep PAGER
When does hoary love expire,
When do frosts put out the fire?
al its embers burn below
All that chill December snow? 8
Care you still soft hands to press,
Bonny heads to smooth and bless?
When does love give up the chase?
Tell. o tell me. grizzled face!
"Ah!' the wise old lips reply.
Youth may pass and strength may die
But of love 1 can't foretoken:
Ask some older sage than T."
