WILD yIOLErS.

For The Post.
They smell of tho rain; the sun and the
breeze,
or the long cool shadow of cedar trees
or the brook that sings down its messy
ledge.
or the bending ferns and the rustling sedge
OF velvet MOSES that keep the dew
And of sweet dead leaves that last year
knew.
They smell of the chill--before break of
dawn:
or wind swept hillside and snow swept

OF rose-brlar hedge, and of winding lane
And of charms that will never come back
again.
These wild pale violets, faint and sweet,
That we buy in the crowded city street.

The State Fair.
eders' Journal

Western Breeders Journal
There Is a strong sentiment through
out the entire State in favor of State
Fair backed directly by the State and
controlled by the State Board Of Agrl-
culture
A bill will be introduced this winte
providing for the State to take charge
of a fair to be located permanently at
the most convenient point, probably To-
peka.
The legislature will be asked to aD-
propriate $4,000 to be used as guar
antee fund to be drawn upon in case
1t should be needed to help pay the ex-
penses Of said fair in case of bad weather
or other misfortune preventing the fair
from paying It's own expenses. II Is con-
tidently expected, however, that a fair
with State guarantee behind 1t would
pay its own way four years out of Ave,
as exhibitors would know that all prizes
would be paid In full and would make q
full showing in all lines. Visitors In like
manner would be assured that they
would see something worth going for.
The railroads should give rates of one
fare for the round trip. A fair Of this
kind especially If held in Topeka would
draw good crowds, success from the
start would be assured.
While speaking mainly for the live
stock interests we believe equal benefits
from State fair would be secured to all
other lines OF industry.
What enterprise can be made success
full without advertising, and In what way
can this advertising be done on so large
scale and at so small cost as through
the medium Of a State fair? An average
sum Of one mill per capita per year would
be all that would be required for the
purpose. What head of family In Kan
sas would object to paying one half cen
or even a full cent per annum to the sup
port Of the State Fair?
We believe there is no doubt as to the
passage of such bill this winter. Kan
sas never consents to remain long be-
hind her sister States.

sufficient; the result should be to enable
the student to take his place in the envi-
Tonment where he will pass his life and
deal with the forces there found. Neither
of these alone is the true aim Of educa-
tion. Both are narrow The aim Of
education is to prepare for life. Then
the question is, what is life? Here the
speaker enumerated many of the activ-
tiles, in business and pleasure, in which
various kinds Of people engage, and
asked of these each and all, Is this life?
Then he mentioned his own ideals at the
ages of 5, 10 and Is years. When he
was a lad, his highest ambition was to
be a constable Later, at a funeral he
wished to be that important parsonage,
the sexton; then preacher; then a
school teacher; but successively each of
these roles discovered features that re-
pelled him, and the best thing he could
say to young people in trying to give
them the essence of life was this: THE
best thing in life is labor"l The decree
passed upon Adam, I'm the sweat of thy
brow thou shalt eat bread" was not a
curse, but blessing.
Education is to prepare for life, and
as labor is the chief thing in life, edu-
cation is to prepare for labor. / saw a

as 1t were.
Now is the time to act. The Legisla-
ture Is in session, and It would be "un-
constitutional" to call 1t together again
before the next regular session, two
years hence. Besides, it would have
been unconstitutional to have passed
bill at the extra session. Therefore,
let some loyal Kansan bring the matter
up by introducing BILL and thus make
a true test of the loyalty" OF the pres

The FillplnOS and the Declaration of
independence.


Elsewhere we publish an interview
with the representative of the FillplnOs
now in this country. In memoram to
Secretary of State Hay for Philippine
independence General Agoncillo said:
Recognizing, as the Americans have
In their Declaration Of Independence, in
their constitution and in their history
OF more than one hundred years, the alb
solute right Of all nations to rule them
selves, free from the control Of alien
masters, submit to you, with entire
confidence, the right of the FilipinOs to
their self-government"
Summarizing his memOriam General
Agoncillo concluded as follows:
Il. American precept and example
have influenced my people to desire inde-
pendent government.
49, Suffering, as did the Americans,
from alien rule, they rose and drove out
foreign masters.
"3 They established, and for seven
months have maintained, form Of gov
ernment resembling the American, II
that 1t is based upon the right of people
to rule.
"a. This government has, according to
doctrines laid down by distinguished
American Secretaries Of State, become
entitled to recognition by the American
Republic.
"5. The expelled government of Spain
having, at the time of the signing of the
treaty Of peace, possession OF only one
port, except Manila, being in the pos
pines, except Manila, being in the pos
session Of the Philippine Republic, and
all insignia Of sovereignty having passed
from Spain, that country could give no
title to the United States for the Phil
ippine Islands.
&c. Spain, having no title to give, her
claim cannot be rendered better by the
ratification Of the treaty of peace

to follow that the present recognition OF

the graded schools is twice as valuable
in the industrial world as one who has

are those who have done we'll without

Education includes direction for the
mind and an acquaintance with objects.
It is pedagogical truth that every child
is entitled to an education embracing
those branches concerned with his en-
vironment. This is the education Of the
common school. After he has completed
such education as that covered by the
district schools, he is entitled to an ed
ucation with reference to the world out
side-history, literature, science, insti-
tutiOns of government, and art-and to
become acquainted with the world not
only beyond the limits Of his own State,
but beyond his own time; that is, with
the past. Cicero says, One not familiar
with history must always remain more
or less a babe"
AS third step every youth is entitled
! to come back, with this knowledge of
the distant world, and study the institu-
tions of his own country. In some de-
gree our education has been ignoring
this last STEP We are called upon to
solve problems, not only connected with
sociology and art, but individual and life
problems The unrest of the present
time is caused by the spirit Of inquiry
aroused by the second step in the edu-
cation Of the masses. North and South
should have understood each other, and
there would have been no Civil war We
are unwise in trying to solve our prob
lens without going outside of our own
region and visiting other peoples and
other times.
There is disposition on the part of
some to think that children ought to
decide very early what they are going to
do When a child is born, the mother
hears many remarks about what the
child is going to be. Trifling signs from
his features or movements are taken as

years of child's life those subjects
which are now embraced in the best

child should be most interested. Let
him be thoroughly grounded in those;
his activities quickened, awakened and
perfected.

What About Our Patriotism ?

Kansas City Sun.
BY reference to Col w. F. Clouds
address before the Kansas State Histor-
ical Society, in Representative hall
on the 18th ult., which is published in
this issue Of the Sun. it will be seen
that he says that Kansas never gave
her soldiers anything" and he gives as
very good reason that Kansas was

gave large bounties, in addition to what
the government gave in the way of pay

But how is II in the present war? Kan

why should not Kansas be liberal with

pay from the government.

There are two kinds Of education, and
there has been much conflict as to which
is the true kind. There is that whose
aim is the development Of the faculties;
1t is not the knowledge of any special
thing as needful but simply the develop
ment, by study and drill, of the power
to do and to understand. The aim Of the
other is to prepare the student for prac-
tical life; more general culture is in

KIMBERLY INVESTED.
African News Hard to Obtain.

LONDON, Oct. 16-The gradual cut
ting off OF outlying points at the scene
of hostilities In South Africa from tel
egraphic communication reduces the
accurate news obtainable to minimum.
Thus far, however, no reliable infor-
nation has been received of any actual
lighting except at Kraaipan and oeea-
sionally an exchange of shots at various
outposts. There Is no lack OF circum'
stantial stories regarding fighting ai
various points, but they are scarcely
published before they are denied.
The only salient facts in this morn
ing's telegrams are that the Beers have
advanced beyond Newcastle and formed
a lager near Dainhauser, about twelve
miles north OF Dundee, and that Kim
berly is isolated and probably invested.
Kim berly has thus become the imme-
date center of interest. The last mes
sage from Kimberly prior to the cutting
of of the telegraph and the railway by
the Beers said:
"All the troops a. Kimberly are

As there are 3, 900 troops there there
is little anxiety for the safety OF the
town, especially as the Boer force il
said to be only Of about the same

A RETURNED KLoNDIKER.
Denounces Canadian OFFICIALS.

Denounces Canadian Officials.
George r. Mullins, who left Eureka
in February, 1898, with panty OF pros
pectors bound for the Klondike, has
just returned after year and half in
the diggings. Concerning his trip and
observations the Sentinel says
"Mr. Mullins says that no discoveries
OF gold in paying quantities have been
made outside of the original discoveries
ON the KlOndike. Mining in that coun-
try requires considerable capital, and a
poor inan, unless he happens to strike
an unusually rich claim, has little
chance of making stake there. He
thinks the country is now at its best
and will never increase its present OUT
put.
according to Mr.. Mullins, the Cam
adian officials in the Yukon Territory
are playing hogging game and it is
almost impossible for working man to
secure a valuable claim there. When a
poor man is fortunate enough to find a
valuable claim and goes To record it,
he is met with the statement OF the Of
ficials that the claim has already been
recorded. He must take their word for
the truth of the statement, r nee he Is
denied the privilege of examining the
records. Time and again have men
sought TO record claims that they we're
positive had never before been staked,
but were invariably refused.
"Jhe Canadian government leyies a
royalty of ten per cent on the gross re-
ceipts of all claims that exceed 50, 600 "a
year. Every male and female resident
/ of the territory, over is years of age,
must pay each year the sum of $40 for

of any kind.
Wages in the mines fuctuate at

KENNEDY MAY BOOM.
Ores of the District to be Worked
at Golconda.

The outcome Of the trip of Messrs.
Stahlman, Farren and Blossom to Ken
nedy last week Is the announcement
that deal was made by which the ores
Of the latter's mines at that place are to
be worked in the Glasgow & Western
Company's plant at Goleonda. The ore
will be hauled from Kennedy TO the
Adelaide mine and shipped on the com
pany s railroad to Golconda.
: The chief difficulty in working the
Kennedy ores has been their rebellious
character. II has always been conceded
that they could be smelted readily and
"a large percentage OF the value ex-
tracted. Shipments made to Salt Lake
by various mine-owners OF the district
proved that smelling Is the best process
for working the ores, but the expense
of hauling To this point and shipping to
Salt Lake was so heavy that the net
returns were too small to justify this
method of working them, except the
very richest rock.
The successful working Mt Golconda
OF this ore from Mr.. Blossoms mines
will mean much for the future OF Ken
