GOOD BANK ACCOUNT.
Some Reasons Why White, Of
EmpOria, VIII Not Emigrate.

William Allen White in the Emporia
Gazette: Both the Kansas City morn
ing papers print a story that the editor
Of this paper is going to leave Emporia
and go to Oklahoma. The facts are
these. that the person in question never
thought of going to Oklahoma. that he
has never thought Of leaving EmpOria
permanently except for one place-Ma--
plewood right west Of town. Oklahoma
is the last place on earth q Kansas man
should go to if he has a good paying
business; ii has all the faults of Kan
sas with none Of its redeeming virtues.
The Kansas City Times says that the
editor OF the Gazette win leave Empor-
Ia on account of politics-because John
Wiggam is going to be made postmas-
ter The Emporia Gazette has run I'M
der the present management for over
six years 1t has never got a dollar out
Of politics. It has never had a. penny's
worth of county printing. It has the
city printing six months in the year
and the account brings up about $50
which is about what two or three good
patrons pay for advertising and job
work every month The Gazette has
never mixed it's business with it's edi-
tors politics. Its editors political

As AN APPENDIX.
That Is the Manner in Which
the PIatt Amendment
Was Attached to the Cuban
Constitution Adopted.
AN OFFICIAL COPY
Endorsed by Gen. Wood Has
Reached Washington.
It Is Now in the Hands Of the
TransIat0rs.
In OFFICIAL COPY

New York, July 1o.-The war depart
ment has received an official copy of
the constitution of the republic of
Cuba, says 2 Washington dispatch to
the Tribune, duly authorized by Gen
eral Wood and the proper authorities,
and the document is now being care
fully translated into English by the
expert i1nguists of the insular division.
Chief interest naturally centers in the
manner in which the Cuban convention
has incorporated the so-called Plat
am endment in the document.
Tt appears from the official draft that
the convention has formally conformed
to all the requirements, taking care,
however, to do so with least possible
injury to a condition of Cuban self
respect. The eight articles of the
Platt resolution which were enacted
the last army appropriation bill,
are not made a part of the consutu-
ton in the sense of entering bodily
into its composition, but they
appear as ian ordinance appended
thereto following the voluninous ar
ticles of the fundamental law of the
land, without comment or explanation
other than the simple title appendix
AS a further concession to the public
pride manifested by the Cubans, the
last article of the Plat resolution is
changed somewhat.
AS congress adopted it. this article
read:
'sVIII-That by way of further assur-
ance, the government of Cuba VIII
embody the foregoing provisions in a
permanent treaty with the United
States"
The Cuban convention has stricken
out the words that by way of further
assurance" and the article is left to

is argued that these people will pro
cure liquor in some way and that it
is better that they should buy it in
saloons that are open and under the
eyes of the police than that they
should obtain It surreptitiously This
is strange reasoning for ministers Of
the gospel, but it is wise reasoning
just the same. AS long as intoxicants
are manufactured they will be drank,
and If they must be manufactured
they should be drank in the open. The
