We the undersigned officers OF the Kan
sas Commonwealth Club, send greeting to
the earnest intelligent women OF the great
commonwealth of Kansas, expressing the
following sentiments and awaiting your
cooperation.
We believe that Industrial emancipation
is the hope of social, political and moral
regeneration.
Ne believe that It is possible to so sys-
tematize the industries and to so adjust
the governmental functions Of this re-
public as to furnish every willing worker
with employment, and thus to institute
conditions under which homes and oppOr-
tunity for individual development shall be
within reach Of the humblest citizen.
We believe that the quality and charac-
ter OF citizenship among the masses Is
largely dependent upon conditions or In
dustry.
We believe that every child born into the
republic has an inalienable right (Which 1t
is the business OF the nation TO secure)
to such protection OF home, such Opportu-
nifty of education, and such security or em-
plOyment as will enable him to develop MS
best possible qualities of mind ana BODY.
We believe that the SAFETY ana perpetulty
Of the nation depends upon the systemlzaS
tion and the orderly and just conduct OF
all great Industries, hence to advance such
conditions is the highest form OF patriot
ism.
We believe that chaotic business, spas
modc uncertain and inadequate employ
ment results in encouragement, In sloth-
fulness and lack Of ambition. Such condi-
tiOn fosters cunning, greed, avarice ana
all that is demoralizing and unworthy III
character; Ii undeTmines faith and nope
and renders IL impossible to realize the
Lords prayer by the establishment OF MS
kingdom on earth even as Is II in heaven.
Hence we believe 1t to be the highest mis-
sion of government, and the supremest
duty of our age to secure a just, equita-
BILE and immutabe foundation for the IN
dustries of this great republic
We believe that the establishment OF
such Just and wise conduct OF national IN
dustries and of all governmental aifairs
is entirely within easy attainment and does
not involve revolutionary or violent pro-
cesses that our constitution, our institu-
tions national, state and local, need not
be overturned or set aside; they need but
to be set to larger action and attuned to
finer impulses and higher ideals; to ac-
tion so broad as to embrace the utmost
need Of every citizen and SO nne as 70
thrill to the faintest "cry OF the human.
To thus insure the life of our nation, TO
rescue the pershing and to raise the hlgn
standard of American citizenship, we
pledge ourselves to work through euuca"
tional, social and political methods
We ask the women of Kansas TO engage
with us in a course of study or the eco
nomic questions involved in the present
evolution of the industries of the nation
We ask you to organize Commonwealth
Clubs, or to induce some organization OF
which you may be member to ADOPT the
Commonwealth course Of study.
We ask you to be ready to hold your
first meetings, for the purpose or study, all
over the State, on the lasC day or August,
at which time the lesson will be upon the
question, what is socialism, The second

Munlclpal OwnershIp successiuI.

Newton, July 1S.-The immense sue
cess Of the waterwOrks plant OF New
ton has done a good deal toward further
ing the idea of public ownership. The
plant was built little more than a
year ago, mainly because the people had
tired Of paying immense sums to the
company of eastern men which owned
the old plant. II was practically worth
less, but the city bought it up and then
set to work on the finest plant in this
part of the State.
Figures Of the annual report Of the
superintendent Of water make some
startling shOwings. Under the old re-
gime 1t was necessary to pay over $4,000
per year for fire protection. The past
year, under the new plant owned by the
city, this has cost only $4,000 and there
are a greater number Of fire plugs than
under the old system.
Having been so successful with water,
Newton is figuring on electric light now,
and probably will put In plant of It's
own shortly, since the present one, like
the old waterworks plant, is very ex-
pensive luxury.

A sensation was caused in Madrid last
week when several Spanish newspapers
appeared with blank columns showing
the amount of matter which they were
willing to publish, which had been sup
pressed by the censOrs. One paper calls
the attention Of the government to the
fact that the last time this was done
was ON the eve OF the September revo-
luton which was headed by Sagasta.

An impromptu hard-times party
was given at the Odeon Hall on
Tuesday night of this week. A
large number of people attended,
and some of the garments worn
were out of sight, indicating a
state of affairs worse than hard
times. The cake-walk took the
cake All who attended took their
lunch with them, and at midnight
camped and ate. The music was
furnished by Will Cooney and
Prof. C. Gruber, and was all right.
Altogether the affair was the most
social one that has taken place in
Dayton for some years.

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuious Humors - How q Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks ard hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
