According to present indications, we
shall rival the Chinese in the kite
flying business, for bushes it seems
to be in many quarters. Sergeant
Baldwin, an aeronaut, connected with
the signal service department of Colo
rado, is experimenting with the box
kite as means of observing naval and
military manoeuvres for the purpose
of long distance signaling. At the
Blue Hill observatory, Mass, the other
day they broke all records with a
string of seven kites, the topmost
reaching an altitude of 1O,O16 feet above
the sea level.

Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage, of
Pittsburg, said in a recent sermon that
the two industries most hurt by the
bicycle are the saloon and the medi-
cal profession. He insists that it is i'm
possible for a man to drink whisky
and ride the wheel, and that less to-
bacco. less rum and less haunting of
saloons are the results of its increased
use. The bicycle is also taking a null
titudes of would-be invalds out of
store, factory, office and pulpit. But
he adds that every minister who ad-
vocates Sunday riding is either an
arrant fool or else is unintentionally
sending thousands upon thousands of
young people down to an everlasting
smash-up.

Senator ]. J. Ingalls, daughter Is to
take the vows of a deaconess, abjure
marriage and promise obedience to
church authority. A number of deacon
esses of various orders have taken up
the work of college settlements in
various neglected portions of the coun-
try. Whether Miss ingalls, will be
chosen to do city mission duties or will
be sent to a settlement has not been
announced. 1t is said that some of the
deaconesses located In the south after
some months residence in a log cabin
among the mountains, are able to re-
ioice over the result Of their labors in
beholding some of their disciples eat
with a fork. Thus does care and
trouble invade even the simple, un-
affected life Of the poor mountaineer.
But then. of course, it would be ter
rible thing if he should live and die
ignorant of the supreme Importance of

A DISSERTATIONS

There is a good deal Of Indignation in
Detroit over the fact that a notorious
Anarchist leader, Emma Goldman, was
allowed to lecture recently in a Congre-
galonal church. and boldly proclaim
there her infidelity, her disbelief in laws
her opposition TO marriage and other es-
tablished institutions of society.
Those were strange doctrines for the
platform of Christian church. 1t is no
wonder that the members of that church
as well as of all Christian churches are
shocked and indignant at the outrage.
Too many ministers in a spirit of So
called liberty throw open their churches
10 almost any kind of a speech or show.
A Christian church consecrated TO re-
hgious worship should he kept sacred
1t is not the place in which to promul-
gate attacks upon the very foundations
OF Christianity. A minister who has so
little regard for the fitness of things as
to permit an Anarchist to assail religion
and the most sacred institutions of So
ciety is unworthy the charge of a Chris
tan church.

WANTS THE CASH.

Germany's occupation of a fort and
adjacent territory in China is giving the
other European powers some marked
uneasiness. 1t is suspected that Ger
many has for some time been desirous
of permanent foothold in the country
In which Russia appears to take so
much interest. The pretense for occ,l-
patton was the nOn-payment of a claim
arising out of the killing of a mission
airy, 10 which China had agreed. But
Germany under the new empire is 60
ing TO the front as a claimant for in
IDENTITIES and in a way which promises
to be a profitable business. For each
day one Of its citizens was imprisoned
in Turkish prison the government has
demanded piasters from the sultan
equal TO $1,000 in United States money.
Agents Of the German government seem
to have been busily engaged in hav-
ing themselves arrested and confined in
Turkish prisons. Was this so that their
government could collect indemnify?
The sultan is required 10 make PROMPT
payment or suffer annIhilation. In this
country such tactics by nation is call

a GREAT RECORD.

1t is sometimes asserted that ve
have no really great men left living
either in congress, in the army or else
where in public life. The Wehsters.
Clays and Summers Of congress. the
Washingtons and Lincolns of the White
House, the Grants and Shernans of the
army, nor their equals, are seen any
where. Unquestionably, however. there
are number Of men of extraordinary
records living vet, and some of them
are still in public life. Among these is
Joseph r. Hawley of Connecticut. who.
1t is said, will, owing TO i'll health. re-
tire from public life al the end of his

1889. Senator Hawley Is now Il wears
old, by birth a North Carolinian. In
1850 he was admitted to the bar at
Hartford, Conn. in which city he has
ever since resided. After a little over
six years practice he became editor of
the Hartford Evening Press. which
later was consolidated with the Har,-
ford Courant. He enlisted in the Tnion
army as lieutenant in 1861. and when
mustered out, in January. 1866. ii was
as brigadier and brevet-ma jor- general.
and the same year was elected governor
OF Connecticut. Going back over his DO

Ssrtion of 1872. which nominated John

BEWARE KLONDIKE STOCK.

-Four additional vessels leave Atlantic
ports this week for Klondike. These
are but four more of scores which will
rendezvous on the Pacific coast by early
spring, all bound for the new Eureka.
In addition TO the companies owning
| these vessels, other speculative COM
panies by the hundred will be formed
for the purpose of booming mines and
selling stocks Steer clear of Klondike
mining stocks. Thousands of Kansas
men have been ruined or greatly en-
| barrassed through investments in Colo
RADIO mines and mining stocks. Warn
| ings of this character for the most part
fail. But now and then an enthusiast
is persuaded to pause long enough 10
first think and then investigate. Eng
land as nation, and London as city,
were made to sweat over South Afri-
can schemes, and there is danger that
the United States will go crazy over
Klondike. There was, and is, plenty Of
gold in South Africa, as there is in
KlOndike, but buyers of mining stocks
never have, nor ever will, see any of it.
The warning is just as much needed
in this country as it is in Great Britain.
Companies are seeking to sell millions
of dollars worth of stocks which repre-
sent little except hopes. In few cases
has any property in their possession re-
turned actual profits, great or small,
which would justify the issue Of one
quarter as much stock as Is offered for
sale. In some instances not a single
director of the great corporations which
promise great things from Klondike
mines has ever seen or been near the
only land which they possess or have
gold rights in. II is all a feature of the
gold excitement which has many phases
and is likely to prove as painfully pro-
lific il disapp0intments and losses as
similar crazes for mining investments
have been in former years.
To seek gold in the Yukon region By
personal search and investments made
on the spot entails many and great
risks, as every one well understands.
Still, it is a fair and open way to make
the attempt. and failure involves only
the adventurer and those dependent up
on him. But TO boom Klondike COM
panies operating at long range and de-
pending more upon stock sales than
mining for their profits is very dubi-
Gus form of speculation. 1t is likely to
cause severe losses to persons of small
means but large hopes, and bring sor-
row into many innocent homes.

IT IS DOOMED.

Female suffrage is making slow head
way. AS its inspiration and greatest
prophecies, Susan Anthony, is no longer
able, on account Of many years of faith
ful service, to personally organize and
urge on the faithful, the cause wavers.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and all that
crowd down TO Sarah Chapman Gait
and her contemporaries, were mere per-
sonal paraders. Not being born organ
izers or generals in any sense, the ranks
are thinning out and the cause is wan
ing. The result of female suffrage in
the great and enlightened state of
Ohio cannot be ignored, whatever may
be said of the wild and woody west. In
that state in the spring election of 1895,
5,S31 women enthused at the prospect
of voting and registered. The interim
between registration day and election
day caused the first flush of enthusiasm
to moderate and but 1915 voted. One
year later 2,72S women registered and
but ], $50 exercised the right of suffrage.
In the spring of 1897 only 40S registered
and but % voted. At the recent cleo
ton only two women registered and
none voted Starting off with 1916 the
women vote fell off in one year 1913
and in two years 1923. 1t cost the
state Of Ohio $4,000 each election for
female suffrage. In Kentucky the ex-
perience has been similar, notwith-
standing that Mrs. Josephine X. Henry.
Laura III. Clay and others were con-
stantly lecturing and an active cam
paign was conducted.

KANSAS IN STATISTICS.

The report of Secretary Coburn Of the
state board of agriculture, just out,
shows, among other things, that Kan
sas is forty million dollars better off
this year than last, tharas a state she is
forty millions richer in the aggregate
which in detail means that on an aver
age every man, woman and child is
ahead about forty dollars. The total
farm products for the past year figure
up to value Of one hundred and thir-
ty-Six and one-third million dollars, or
one hundred dollars to every inhabitant.
The value of live stock is shown to be
ninety-four million dollars. The state,
in fact, is a good deal more than forty
million dollars richer this year than
last, the forty millions being the in
crease on grain products and live stock
alone.
