KANSAS DID her BEST.

Tt is with sadness we hear that the
mills of New England must shut down
because the people of Kansas, Nebras-
ka and other western states cannot buy
the goods they are manufacturing. Will
lingly would we do so, if we could.
Gladly would we purchase So derby
hats of new and fashionable shapes,
Louis V. chairs and tables with beauti-
full carved and gilded legs, pink globed
lamps three feet high with lapis lazuli
standards, new spring lawns with
punches of violets an over them. patent
leather shoes with the new fashioned
semi pointed box toes, and many more
things made in New England by the
clever French Canadians, Armenians
and Italians who now constitute the
boosted blue blooded descendants OF
Puritan forefathers" that we hear so
much about.
oh, that we could buy them; we
want them bad enough, for with the
Gallo taste and peculiarities that Will
liam Allen White says the people Of
Kansas possess and display. comes also
the French love for things pretty and
artistic.
We have in Kansas mountains of
things material to exchange with New
Kansas there are miles and miles of
corn cribs bursting full; there are gran
aries running over with wheat; there
are millions of cattle-statistics say
more than was ever known in the his
tory of the state. There are pens full
of pigs, corrals full of sheep, coops full
of chickens. Hundreds of creameries
increasing in number weekly are turn
ing out golden stream of butter. Kan
sas has always been the great bread
state of the Union; she is now becoming
the great Bread and Butter state.
But we can't buy the manufactured
goods of New England with the pro-
ducts of our soil, because we can't sell
these products.
Nobody seems able to purchase our
corn, wheat and cattle, just as we are
not able to purchase New England's
clothing. furniture and shoes.
Now, if we could only get together
on some commercial basis trade would
spring up, everybody could buy every
thing he needed, the wheels in the mills
would begin to turn, the corn begin to
move, and rotund, blooming prosperity
smile upon the whole country.
All that is needed to bring about this
joyful state of affairs is money in cir
culation-more of it. Enough money
to flush the dried up channels of trade.
Money, as has been said, is like the
blood to the human body-reduce it and
the body faints and droops; fill the
veins full and life and health return.
Kansas said at the election that the
country needed more money. New Eng
land said No in stentorian tones.
We are sorry the mills of New Eng
land must close; we did all we could by
our votes to keep them open.

HIGH HATS IN CHICAGO.

(From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch)
The anti-high hat ordinace in Chicago
is so far a failure. The night following
the passage of the ordinance the Chicago
Tribune made a comparative census of
the women with and without hats in
the theaters of that city The figures are;
With hats, 735: without. AL.
Lovely woman is not to be coerced-
She wants to regulate by law everything
but herself and to suppress by statute
every form of indulgence to which she is
not inclined. We may congratulate our
selves that she is not much inclined to
evil. If she were this would be harder
world to live in than it is.
The Chicagoan is naturally rude He
lacks politeness and chivalry. He has
failed to accomplish by process of law
what Brooklyn has accomplished by tact
The night following the Chicago failure
the head usher of the Montauk theater
in Brooklyn walked to the front before
the curtain arose and said. in a clear and
distinct tone: The ladies in the audience
will please remove their hats" And in
stantly so the press dispatches tell us.
there was a rustic over the house and a
moment later not hat was in view.
Clearly enough the men of Brooklyn
know women better than do those of Chi
cago. But Chicago will never understand
clude that the Brooklyn women had read
the story of the French judge presiding
at the trial of a SalaciouS cause who re-
quested all ladies to withdraw and who.

SIMPLE ADVERTISING


Some books are very tiresome- They
are chiefly those in which the author
has INDUCED in verbal display and
erudition. They are written to let you
see how much he knows. but not to
communicate any information. Many
of these writer's believe that the power
to manipulate ponderOuS words and
sentences is literary skill. It isn't. he
is the most skiilful juggler of words
who can present, briefly and wildly,
in plain language, a statement that is
few, but by the million. There is often
a wide difference of opinion between an
author and the reading public as to the
value of the formers works, and this
he generally finds out when settling
with his publishers or his publishers
settle with him.
Advertisements are often like books.
They are written to please the writer,
and to show much he knows. They don't
tell you anything, but they dc often
make you exceedingly tired. Their
language and their we'll balanced and
beautifully rounded sentences have a
sonorous, but very empty ring, and they
generally waste their sweetness on the
desert air" A few plain, bold, simple
words, straight to the point, and your
fine-sOunding story is instantly retired
to the background Clean-cut, common
sense statements, telling some facts, are
what up-tO-date advertisement readers
want in preference to flowers of rhe-
tOric or evidences of learning. You can
show your business cleverness best by
know in the quickest and plainest way.
1t isn't a bit curious about your liter
airy accomplishments or your fund OF
general knowledge.

SIGNALLING FROM MARS.
[From Harper's WeekIy.l


Any citizen who is tired of mundane
concerns and wants to fix his mind on
something higher, is invited to consid-
er the allegation of Sir Francis Gallon,
made in the London Fortnightly Re
view, that some one on Mars is signall-
ing to the earth.
The Information seems not as yet to
be very generally confirmed by astro-
nomical observers, but Sir Francis is
quoted as authority for the report that
in one of the European obserVatOries
an apparatus has been devised for re-
cording the Marian flashes, and that
the records show that three signals,
and no more are made. and that they
differ, as all flash light signals do in
the length of the flashes and intervals
between, SO that if we had the key they
might be read like Geographic mes
sageS.
OF course this is not a yarn to be
swallowed whole, but the association of
the name of Sir Francis Cation with it
is enough to entitle it to consideration.
There seems to be no intrinsic impOssi-
bility of our having relations with peo-
pie in Mars. 1t sounds prepOsterous of
course. but like other marvels. it seems
prepOsterouS chiefly because il is I'M
usual.
We have to nudge ourselves from
time TO time in this age of swift sur
priSes, and remind ourselves that Moth
ing that is new to US can possibly be
more marvellous than many things
that have grown familiar.
