THE IDEAL CLUB.

The clubs which have had a remark
able growth during the past few years
are a menace to the social world com
monty called society. The clubs are an
important feature Of society, but they
form a part, monopolized almost en-
tireIy by the women.
Each year sees the formation of more
study clubs for the women, and the
gradual dying out of the social affairs
in which the men formerly had an inter
est. Few business men who spend their
days in the office or store, care to de-
vote their evenings to society, but it is
only natural that they should desire a
little quiet recreation which will take
their minds off their business cares for
few hours. In few places can this
recreation be found to such an extent
as in the club in which both they and
their wives have an interest.
Out of the fifty study clubs in Topeka
there are but few of this kind The old
est and best known is the Conversation
club. which meets evenings, at the homes
of the members. Little time is devoted
to study aside from reading the newspa-
pers and magazines. Many of the cur
rent topics and questions of the day are
thoroughly discussed, and it is safe to
say that more practical results are de-
rived from this method, than by the
hours Of study devoted by some clubs
to the preparation of papers, discussions
and debates.
The men and women are equal gain
ers by this method; the ideas of the
men have a. broadening effect upon the
minds Of the women, and the domestic
side of the women can not fail to have
a softening influence upon their hus-
bands This is an ideal club and it
would be an excellent thing if there
were more of them.

HURRAH FOR THE NEW SOUTH

The census report for most of the
southern cities has been made and it
shows a great increase in the popula-
ton in the past ten years. The rate
Of increase is 2e.77 per cent OF course
some of the cities are complaining that
the census is incorrect in their particu-
lar instance, just as cities in the north
are complaining. but as a whole the
south is well satisfied and is inclined to
boast of the showing.
It is a healthy sign-boasting about
the increase in business and population.
It shows that the people Of that section
have awakened and are beginning to
take notice Of something besides the
sore spots left over from the rebellion.
They are pointing with pride to the fact
that their cities are Offering encourage
ment to manufactures Of different kinds
and they wave their hats and yell as
they tell Of the cotton mills which have
been erected in the past few years. and
prime their ears to catch the sound Of
the hammers driving nails into more
new factories.
For years the south shipped its cotton
to New England, but now it is doing
its own spinning. The southerners are
digging coal and iron out of the noun
tains and rustiing for more business ex-
actly as a man in good health should
do. And why not? Why didn't the
south do SO before? No one has hin
dered. It was because the people hated
to follow in the footsteps of the north
They were taught that trade was vul-
gar They fretted to see the north sue
coed. But it has finally penetrated the
brain of the southerner that the way to
live happily is to work, so he has quit
discussing how much fortune he lost by
the war, how much better times were
before the war, how much mental an
guish he suffered during the reign OF the
carpet Dagger, and has decided that he
wants to take an active part in some
thing besides politics. He is trying to
forget his ills, has put the salve of active
business life upon the running sore of
sectional strife, and is doing business in
way that viii make northern indus
tries look to their laurels.
1t is a happy day for the entire coun-
try-something besides political news
and race troubles will be heard from
the south, which is now past the con-
valescent stage. The south is very WELL
thank you, and is eating three square
meals a day and all because it found
after trying various nostrums for years
that business-constant employment
while it may be vulgar, is the soothing
balm, the panacea for all ills, fancied
and real. The south has a job" and
seems anxious to hold it.

FUND FOE MES. THORPE.

A great many people have the idea
that the police matron has a fund for
helping the sick and send orders to her
to look after and supply the needs of diff
ferent cases. Frequently she receives
notes of censure for not attending to
the wants of certain cases. Mrs. Thorpe
has no funds except occasional donat-
IONS She has paid money out of her
own purse for the relief of many emer-
gency cases this summer, having re-
ceived but a little over 81 for the pur-
pose since April which was the gift Of
a young music teacher in Oakland. Poor
Commissioner Hale is always ready to
help these cases, but has not the food
or medicine needed for the sick, as in
emergencies very often the necessary
things cannot be gotten without money.
There should be a ready fund in some
ones hands for emergency cases.
Few people appreciate the work that
is being done by Mrs. Thorpe. Day or
night she is always ready to respond to
the call of the unfortunate. She should
by all means be provided with an emer-
gency fund

The proposition now is to provide addi-
tional equipment to his already choice
laboratory, SO that every suspicious case
of illness can be subjected to chemical
analysis. In diphtheria cases. where
symptoms are but slight, assurance
could be made doubly sure by taking
swab of the throat and having it sub
jected to chemical test. Judgment could
thus be verified and no needless hard
ships inflicted. From both sides in
terested, the personal element and the
city's health, it is proposition worthy
of careful consideration.

TENDERS ON STREET CARS.

The sad death Of year old John
Paynter by being run over by a street
car brings vividly before the people the
necessity Of compelling the street car
company to take precautions against
accidents.
The city ordinance limits the speed of
the cars to six miles an hour but that
ordinance is never observed On the side
streets and even on Kansas avenue cars
run at rate of speed that is dangerous.
There are no tenders such as are used
on cars in other cities. If such tenders
were in use the sad accident of a few
days ago would probably have been
averted. Guard rails on the inside of
open cars should be used to protect pas
sengers from passing cars and center
poles The council should pass an ordi-
nance requiring at least tenders on ev-
cry car.

rRE PARr1sAN APPEAL

The man who makes politics bust
ness is armed with weapon which he
uses every day during the progress of
the campaign.
He stands upon a pedestal and Yields
this weapon with all his might and
main. 1t is simply an appeal for par
tisanship. He says, Look at the grand
old Democratic party which has never
been wrong and which guarantees you
freedom and happiness. Look at it and
then look at that man who is trying to
tear the flag of Democracy down by
aspiring to the Office of road overseer
on the opposition ticket. Think Of that
mani He has always been an opponent
of our party. Why he once dared to be
a candidate for township trustee on the
Republican ticket and he actually held
the Office OF township clerk under that
party Think of all this my friends and
then vote the Democratic ticket straight
from top to bottom. Mr.. Bryans cause
is in danger"
Tt may be that the candidate for road
overseer is untitled for the position He
may have been nominated by corruption
and brow beating. That is not to be
considered. He is the nominee of 1.-The
party and that settles it.
This is just as true of the Republican
politician asof the Democratic. He thrives
upon craftsmanship and it is his business
to make the people think that it is al
most crime to support any one but the
party nominees.
The party boss has more serious time
in accomplishing his designs than for
merly. The people are learning that the
bugaboo ''the party is an expression to
Brighten the ignorant. The voters are
becoming more Independent and are
learning to rebuke corruption and in
competence even when it is to be found
in their party"

CRUSADE AGAINST INFECTION

Much attention is being called to the
efforts that the city health officers are
putting forth to guard the city from
disease and pestilence Their efforts are
seconded by at least a majority Of the
medical fraternity of Topeka as well
as applauded by appreciative citizens.
Every one appreciates that in the case
OF known contagion an ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure. From a
judicial point of view, however, the op-
GRAFTON Of a quarantine upon a family is
no light matter. It is a weighty de-
cision for a physician to make in a
doubtful case. He has to weigh the pos
sibilities Of a spread of disease, or in
other words the menace to public health
in the aggregate, against the stoppage of
part of one wheel in the whole ma
chinery- But stop that wheel BY de-
claring quarantine, upon him rests the
responsibility of Jeopardizing twenty, or
thirty, or a hundred inhabitants
Among physicians themselves it is the
matter of clubbing over Jurisdiction and
