Worlds Fair In 1904.

Final action has been taken post
poning the St. Louis exposition to
1904. The reasons for the postpone.
ment exist in the fact that many
foreign governments would be unable
to participate 10 the exposition in q
betting manner il compelled to pre-
pare themselves for 1908. In.as-
much as the plans for the exposition
contemplate a Worlds Fair in the
broadcast sense Of the term, II became
evident that without the complete
participation Of the leading govern.
ments Of the world it would fall far
short Of the ideal which the project
ors have In mind.
The postponement Of the fair to
1904 is provided for in an amend.
ment to the sundry civil appropria.
tions bill now pending in the senate
offered by Senator F. M. Cockrell Of
Missouri. The amendment provides
for the dedication Of the buildings Of
the exposition on April 80, $685. for
opening the exposition to visitors not
later than May l, 1904, and for clos
ing not later than December LIST fol.
lowing.
The amendment also provides for
the coinage Of S250,0Oo in gold dollar
pieces to be used as souvenir coins
and to be part Of the $4,000, 900 ap.
propriated by congress for the fair.

1t appears from a statement made
by a Chicago publishing firm that
Opie Read in July, 1897, was EN-.
ployed to write two novels a year for
six years. In payment he was to re-
ceive a regular salary Of $40 a week
and 10 per cent royalty on the novels.
This arrangement continued until
July, 1901, when, it is declared, Mr..
Read "owed the firm four novels and
had overdrawn his account to the ex.
tent Of $4,000" This explains why
Kansas was so stuck on 0pie in 1900.

Against Outside Advertising Schemes.

Worms are not the only things
that will turn. There Is a limit to
the endurance Of business men, says
the Journal, Of New Haven, Conn,
and 1t has been reached in Syracuse,
N. T., where the leading merchants
have made an agreement to confine
their advertising 10 the newspapers
and to refuse to buy except as indi-
viduals, tickets to benefits and the
like. And now comes the mercantile
association Of Reading, Pa, which
has membership Of two hundred,
and puts itself on record against all
advertising schemes outside Of the
columns Of newspapers. The associa-
ton declares, inasmuch as"merchants
in general have suffered for years
from constantly increasing solicita-
tions for advertisements for hotel
registers, desks, billboards, clocks,
keyboards, charts, programs, tickets,
cook books, moving pictures, enunci-
ators, curtain advertisements, oil
paintings and pamphlets, the mem.
bers pledge themselves that they will
not make use of any such forms Of
advertisements" The is no doubt
that advertising in newspapers is the
best advertising there is, and that
the merchants in many places have
suffered severely from the appeals or
demands Of those interested in getting
good money for poor ways Of adver-
Using 1t is not surprising that
there are signs Of rebellion.

We commend these sensible words
from the Topeka Herald:

we COMMEND tnes0 sonslDle WOTuS
from the Topeka Herald:
"While real estate investment has
undoubtedly caused many fortunes
to disappear and may be a greater
risk than an investment in savings
banks or insurance, it still has ele-
ments Of safety which no other Sc
curity possesses. When the financial
cyclone Of 1898 had spent its force
and after the three or four years Of
depression which followed it were
over, many people we're in position
to give testimony concerning the
value Of various securities. Many
who had their fortunes in stocks and
bonds saw them disappear in a day
without warning. Not SO with the
real estate investor. The property
which he owned or held as security
for money loaned was deprecated in
value and was not saleable, but 1t
was there and those who had the
ability and courage to hold 1t saw it
return to value and usefulness with
the better times. The bad investor
may sometimes lose through real es-
tate speculation but after all is said
and done there is no security SO re-
liable through long period Of years
as good real estate"
And while you are buying real es-
tate remember that Kansas real es.
tate will never be worth less than it
is today.
D. W. Blaine is rambling away in
the papers telling how he will bring
10000 men to Kansas to harvest the
1O0,OOO,00O bushels Of wheat to be
cut next month. 1t ISIS wonder the
papers don't get onto Blaine.
