A FEArHERED TRIUMPH.

The American pathological Union
and the Audubon societies have won a
victory in securing from the manufac-
turing milliners an agreement not to
use any more North American birds
of any kind save domestic fowls and
game birds killed in season, for hat
trimmings.
With only the ordinary casualties of
bird life to contend against there ought
to now be a yearly increase until the
fields and woods shall have the feather
ed population that existed before the
demands of fashion made birds the prey
of commercial greed.
Green and purple grapes, cherries and
chiffon rosettes will be seen where here
tofore the saucy jay, the dainty hum
ming bird and the long billed wood
pecker held sway supreme.
The milliners have not been entirely
responsible for the killing of the birds.
1t was found in New York that many
songsters had been killed by Italians
for food.
The condition of surrender of the
feather and bird dealers is complete. 1t
pledges each one of its members to alb
stain from buying, selling, shooting OF
capturing any wild North American
bird of any kind whatsoever, providing
the Audubon societies will agree not tic
secure legislation which will prevent
the milliners from using the feathers
of domestic fowls, the feathers of game
birds killed in season and the feathers
of foreign birds
The societies that have accomplished
this good work of driving the birds
from the hanging gardens of woman's
headgear are entitled to the thanks OF
the community.
A dainty face is just as charming be-
meath a bunch of cherries ripe" as un.
der a hooking birds wing.

KANSAS WELL INSURED.

The showing made by the fraternal
beneficiary associations doing business
III this state is certainly a remarkable
one With over 232 millions of insur-
aace now in effect it would be difficult
indeed to comprehend what extent of
relief this sum may some day afford the
benehciaries. With the old line COM
panies and the numerous fraternal as
sociafions but few me1I are placed in
the position OF being compelled to take
chances without life insurance of some
Kind.
The great question in this state for
several years has been how best to
deal with the fraternal societies which
sneak into the state and plumber the
people. The reputable Institutions
may now come in through the insur-
ance department under the provisions
of a law enacted at the last session of
the legislature.
There are some societies now which
seek to evade this law by doing bust
ness without permission and proper au-
thority from the superintendent of in
surance.
s An insurance company outlaw, in
spirit at least is as bad as the man
who is an outlaw because he loves
plumber and murder.

GENIUS MUST FMTaRArE.

Kansans are continually coming to
the front. The current number of
Book News, published in Philadelphia,
contains an excellent half tone por-
trait of Ida Eckert Lawrence. formerly
Mrs Thomas Brewer Peacock of To-
peka, with a fattering notice of her
book Of poems Day Dreams" taken
from the New York Times
Mrs. Lawrence lived all her life in To-
peka and she wrote much verse but
1t attracted little attention. Then she
moved to Chicago and her poems be-
came at once of keen human interest,
dealing as they do with themes that
are typically American" The reviewer
says Miss Lawrence is a very facile
poet and her verses trip lightly from
the tongue and are full of music and
imagery"
All this is additional proof of the
maxim that a genius must leave
home to be appreciated.

SWEET KANSAS SMILES.

Kansas and prosperity seem to have
foi med a combination this year.
The articles of Incorporation are the
acres upon acres of golden wheat that
Kansas soil has nourshed, that Kan
sas snow and rain have blessed and
Kansas sun has smiled upon.
The land that Coronado pronounced
a desert centuries ago has produced but
one crop of wheat in excess of the one
which now stands ready for the har-
vester. This was the great crop year
of 1892 But the benefits that followed
in its wake will pale when compared
to those which must certainly result
from the crop that now makes Kansas
the envy of her sister wheat states.
Then was the day of the Kansas de-
famer. Mortgaged farms, crippled
banks and empty stores gave him the
right to abuse the state. The bless
ings of the enormous. acreage of wheat
only served to combat the nisfortuneS
of the times.
There are no such misfortunes to
| overcome this year. Prosperity has
been a close acquaintance of Kansas
for several years. The defamer of the
state has been jeered into obscurity-
Mortgages are scarce, banks are full,
Stores are thronged, and the millions
of bushels of wheat soon to be ready
for market come to broaden still far
| Their the present conditions.
1t is a great year for Kansas. Back
of her enormous wheat crop, which
| Providence has spared, is the prospect
| Of a magnificent production of other
! cereals. 1t is a condition of affairs
which bids fair to make the Kansas
farmer the real plutocrat of the west
Kansas railroads are preparing for
| the banner business of their careers.
Kansas merchants are arranging for
unequalled trade. Kansas bankers are
INDUCING in the luxury of easy chairs,
content in the knowledge of unadulter-
ated prosperity. Satisfaction is in the
air. The sunflower state stands before
the world as the RECONCILIATION OF

coLoRADo's PARsIMoNY.

It begins to look as if that Kansas
water suit against the state of Colorado
is not going to materialize. The tele-
grams say that the farmers about
Wichita in that state are beginning to
lose confidence. The truth is they have
been deceived by class of Sharpers
who know more about politics than they
do about irrigation law. Even the at
torney general, who went to Washing
ton with such a flourish of trumpets
seems to have subsided. The geological
survey officials gave him no encourage
ment, and without any facts on which
to base a suit he has apparently deter
mined that discretion is the better part
of valOr. In the meantime the people
about Wichita are beginning to realize
that they have been grossly mlSlnfOrn-
ed. Having been led to believe they
were being deprived of certain rights by
the people of Colorado. and having been
assured by these alleged irrigation eX-
peFtS that a great victory could be won
over the Colorado water thieves of the
Arkansas valley, they are not now in a
pleasant state of mind. They will not
urally turn on those who raised base
less hopes.
The more Kansas people examine the
law and the facts, the more thoroughly
they will become convinced that all the
water in the Arkansas river to which
Kansas can lay claim is the exact
amount that crosses the state line. The
Arkansas rises in Colorado and its wa
ters belong to the people of the state,
as the constitution of Colorado declares.
subject to the right of appropriation for
irrigation and other uses. This water
has been appropriated by the farmers of
the valley, and no power can take it
from them-not the state of Kansas, not
even the supreme court of the United
States. The sooner therefore, that Kan
SaS people turn their attention to some
more legal and practical method of Sc
curing water, than an attempt to rob
Colorado, the better it will be for them.

KANSAS, BIG SHOW.

Since it. has been definitely deter
mined that Kansas is to have a ma
tionaI show in 1904 it would be well
for the people of the state to understand
what such an exposition as the one
proposed means.
Kansas mas passed through varying
stages since her birth. The opinions
held by people of the east about the
state have varied with the conditions
ard ereGLLntly an artificial idea has
colored the whole line of opinion.
The state is not the hotbed of crank
ism nor the home of the hot wind. 1t
knows no plague of grasshoppers and
the ohinch bug has gone to flourish in
other fields. Enterprfsing correspond
EMS in order to replenish their depleted
exchequer have sent out stories ex-
aggerated and distorted concerning the
state, which have been greedily
snapped up by eastern editors who do
not imagine that anything concerning
Kansas can be exaggerated.
The exposition of 1904 will be the SUI
preme test Kansas must show the
people of the United States her true
face Her features must be placid and
her Sunday clothes worn in the most
becoming manner. Kansas will be on
parade. She must rise to the occasion
which is offered to show the people of
the country her true character.
The Importance of this exposition
cannot be over rated. The very name
OF Kansas will draw people to the state
who would think of going nowhere else.
Kansas is not commonplace in the
minds of the people of New York. She
may be considered eccentric or uncer-
tain, but she is never regarded with
stol:d Indifference.
The wonderful resources of the state
must be put before the world as they
never have been before. Every county
must give up it's portion to help swell
an array of resources which will dazzle
even the most exacting. Everything
must be done on a grand and imposing
scale, and the enterprise and progress
siveness of the people of this great
state must shine forth in unparalleled
splendor
It is not too soon to think about this
exposition; it is not too early to plan
for the realization of the highest ideals.
There should be no strife nor quarrels.
The location of the great show is sec
ondary, though it should be held in the
best and most beautiful city in the
state.
An association of wideawake KAN
sans has been formed to arrange the
preliminaries of the big exposition, and
this association should receive the IN
qualified support of the people of Kan
sas. Kansas must show the world that
she is really what her people claim for
her-the brightest star in the armament
of states

TEACHING OF HoUsEwoRK.

For many years the servant girl ques-
ton has been discussed and books writ
ten on the subject, still no practical So
luton has been found. Here in Topeka
are many girls out of employment, beg
ging for even the most mental house
hold labor TO do, and there are also
many women doing their own work. be-
cause it is difficult to find competent
servants.
This is easily accounted for by the
fact that few girls who wish to go out
to service have had training They can
learn little in their own homes, and
there is no other place where they may
learn except in the homes of their mis-
tresses, and few mistresses have time
or inclination to teach their servants
the rudiments of their profession, for
housework is a profession, and the soon
er it is regarded as such the better.
Many good honest girls who prefer
earning their living by doing housework
are deferred by the prejudice against
servant girls as a class. Homework is
as honorable as many other pursuits in
which wonnen engage. and in most cases
the prejudice Us caused by the class of
girls who are employed
There should be public institutions
where homework is taught or a domes-
tic department might be introduced into

industrial school was started in Topeka

THAT LITTLE WORD TRUST"

The word Trust is filled with ter
rors. There is not an organization of
capital. great or small, the promoters
of which will admit is a trust" While
they appear to be afraid of the conse-
quences which may result from the
name it does not deter others from fol-
lowing their footsteps.
Nearly everything that is used is
controlled by a trust. The trust idea
has thoroughly permeated the country
and there is no instance recorded in
which the members have been brought
to justice though every state in the
union has its antitrust laws.
Why is the trust criminal more ex-
empt than other people who violate
laws? The real reason is that money
is the panaeea for nearly everything,
including crime. Aggregations of cap
ital are exempt from the operation of
the laws. The men with money have
little to fear. for money will buy nearly
everything except immunity from
death.
States announce that the trust prob
lem must be solved by congress and
congress announces that it is a question
to be settled by the states. By this
means the issue Is lodged and the re-
sponsibility is not fixed while the trust
fourishes and waxeth fat.
