MOVING INTO MISSOURI.

That Kansas City, Missouri, COM
bine which has waxed rich and pow
erful in the name of business, that has
bled Kansas and robbed her farmers,
Is making arrangements to move their
live stock yards from the Kansas to
the Missouri side Of the line. 1t is said
that the move will cost the trust
100000 and that the location will be
cramped. But they propose to make
the move profitable. The reason for
the move is a law passed by the last
legislature limiting the opportunity of
this outfit in making exactions of the
stock raisers of Kansas. The Leaven-
worth Times, in speaking of the greedy
gang, says that the law was unani-
mously passed, voted for by the Popu-
lists but originating with the Republi-
cans, and supported by them; that the
law is a most equitable and righteous
one, in that it fixes the prices to be
charged by the stock yards company
at a more moderate rate than the ex-
brilliant prices prevailing before that.
They had charged double and quadru-
pie the market price for feed furnished,
and they took care that nobody else
furnished the feed. This outfit had in
dated its capital by leaps and bounds
into the millions, through their con-
ecienceless heecings. A later investiga-
ton showed their profits to be enor-
nous and their sway and control of
pne of the greatest interests of this
state to be absolute. Having been
rounded up to a sense of decency, they
are going to move their traps across
the line into Missouri, beyond the reach
of the laws of the people whom they
propose to continue to fleece. This move
IS proof of the truth of all that was
ever charged against them. If the law
was unconstitutional because of ex-
tremes, or otherwise unreasonable, they
had the courts to which 10 appeal. But
the law is right, and just, so far as it
goes. 1t don't so far enough, is the
only criticism warranted. Once they
get the Kansas shipper into Missouri
the gang will dictate its own terms
There is but one way TO beat this
Missouri combine, and that is to build
and maintain stock yards and packing
houses of our own. 1t will not be long
before thousands of additional heads
of both cattle and hogs of South Kan
sas will be finding, daily, a more prof
liable market in Wichita than at Kan
sas City. What is true of Wichita
might be Just as true Of other railway
centers of the state. Shrinkage comes
of the long haul of live stock, not Of
the cured meats. The nearer the mar
ket-yards the greater the profit for The
live stock raiser. AS the Times fur
Their observes, il would be humiliatine
for Kansas farmers To follow this stock
yards company. which is fleeing from
Just laws, over into Missouri

CANADIAN ASPIRATION

Can Canada be looking forward to
national independence? Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, secretary OF the English
exchequer. contended that Canada re-
garded herself as a distinct nation and
therefore entitled 10 conduct her own
negotiations with the United States in
the seal question. England has been
limiting otherwise of late, that it was
time that that colony began TO think
of doing something in the way Of her
own defense. British America covers
more territory than the United States.
1t may not be worth much as a whole,
but it is big and reaches to and en-
braces not only the Klondike but much
of the Arctic circle. And now it seems
that Canada is ambitious TO possess a
navy, a kind of an auxiliary to the
North American British squadron. II
has been publicly given out that the
Dominion government viii seek the
sanction Of the English parliament for

JOB LOT TITLES.

Nobody denies the mercenary, not to
say unholy and abhorrent character OF
ninety-nine out of every hundred of the
marriages which take place between
titled bankrupts of Europe and Ameri-
can heiresses. On the one side 1t IS Tor
money, on the other for a chance OF
social distinction. The larger per cent
of them end unhappily, most of them IN
the total wreck Of the life of the Amer
lean girl, who is really the sacrlhce on
this awful family altar. Of the untold
millions of American dollars thus an
nually transferred to Europe for which
there is no return save unhapplness
would be hard to estimate. Every
broken down titled profligate of Europe
looks for some silly-headed family OF
America to mend his fortunes by sacri-
fcing a daughter. We have so many
rich girls TO pit against the necessar-
ilv limited number of titled buns that
the hope has been that the supply had
about reached the demand. But here
comes an unlimited danger. The ItaI-
ian government has submitted to its
parliament a bill which provides that
by the payment of $4,000 cash any one
can obtain the title of prince, $1,000 pur-
chases the title of marquis, $4,000 Sc
cures the legal right to be called count.
and for 200 any one may become
baron. What an investment for for
tune-hunters, playing for big game, the
proposed law will afford. Should the
become great and baron,
seeing his chances of winning Miss
Billions growing beautifully less as she
smiles on the suit Of a cunt, he can
bid higher by purchasing the title or
marquis or prince. On bargain days 1t
is expected to see advertisements of
lowing to a large assortment and the
Iateness of the season, a job lot of
princes will be offered for $7,999.4S
each, for one day only. At this same
grand clearance sale a leftover mar
ouis will be offered for s., 9999S, lot of
counts one-half off, and number of
barons at 20 per cent discount"

ON TO KLONDIKE.

Hundreds and hundreds of men are
mortgaging their homes and sacrificing
their all, to leave wife and children
and to endure untold tOrtures, for
venture in the Arctic ices of the Klon-
dixie. The miseries of the region this
of pen to describe. The pitiable cry
which comes back in almost every let
ter, Don't come" goes unheeded, and
the rush has already commenced for
trial of the terrors of the Chilkoot Pass
or the Yukon route Either is long, eX-
pensive and dangerous. At the end
there is only hardships such as the
forty-niners of California never dream
ed of. And when the pilgrim finally
triumphs over the terrible obstacles
that nature and climate have placed in
his way, and stands on auriferous
ground with his claim properly staked,
it may be only to find that the wall of
ice that holds the precious earth is too
obstinate for his efforts. The thawing
method is so expensive that even rich
ground will often not yield enough to
buy the necessaries of life. Enormous
ly rich ground is sometimes left I'M
touched, so bound is Natures grip
upon it. With very few exceptions all
the old miners, men who have worked
the Eldorado and Bonanza creeks be-
fore Klondike was on the map, have
found it impossible to make more than
a grub stake"

KANSAS DAY CLUB.

The Kansas Day Club held its annual
celebration on Saturday at Topeka
From the published list of the names
of those present it is very evident that
few of political Importance remained
away. Both the old and the new
crowds were present, in full force, and
the sunfiower was redolent as also res
onant. The perfume of craftsmanship
pervaded and the atmosphere was vip-
rant with patriotic utterances. Curtis
and Burton and Riddle, and some dozen
others put UP, at the banquet as sa-
vantic and eloquent a lot Of speeches
as can be found in the vernacular, or,
for that matter, heard anywhere. Pres
ident Morgan's address was particular
~ felicitous. In speaking of the record
OF the many any-thing-to beat-the
Republican-party, of this state, put
forth, he remarked that such efforts
were as full of holes as Kentucky is Of
colonies; that they would sink a ship
in the Arkansas river where the fish
have to go ashore TO get a drink.
Morgan suggested as a motto for the
next campaign the euphonious and in
spring Latin classic: "Soc ct tuem."
1t is evident from the published reports
Of the speeches and proceedings that
there was only the most gratifying
harmony, back of which was confidence
of victory. In short, the speeches were
neither commonplace nor platitudinOus,
but full Of up-to-date perspicuity, with
no lack Of concord or confidence. And
so the campaign sun of '9S rises re-
spIendent and full of promise for an
undimmed race and a gratifying set
ting.
Thirty-seven years ago Kansas was
admitted as a state into the Union. The
day the bill was introduced Jefferson
Davis and other rebel senators with
drew from the United States senate.
The bill proposing to give her terri
torial organization lighted the fires
which became a flame that enwrapped
sixty millions of people, ali that they
had or hoped for politically and mater
tally. The pangs of her birth rent the
nation in twain; her christening was
with blood, and in the fruition Of her
freedom the Union of states sealed its
later covenant Kansas Day" is
therefore, in a sense. the Nations day,

ten entertainments is a reminder that
Lent has its social and other secular sides
as well as it's religious aspect. In the
church sense 1t may prescribe sackcloth,
but in the worldly view II comprehends
spring dress thoughts. restful hours. And
il is the worldly view which is beginning
to reflect itself in the advertisements.
Current Literature, in speaking Of the
democratic tendencies of art tells OF "a
prominent artist who designed not only
the front cover of a leading magazine.
but the back page Of advertising also,
and several Illustrations inside as well. ."
Why not? There is nothing too good for
advertising in an age in which the print
ing press is the symbol and epitome: and
why should not one fine art command the
