delicate pink blooms of the Iive-forever and

The bank which the major part Of the gar

white Of the tiny flowers OF the candytuft TO
the scarlet Of the geranium and the Gamma and
the purple Of the aster. In the background one
sees the small pink blossoms Of the tobacco and
the dusty bloom Of corn. From the crannies in
the wall creep forth vines. Everywhere in this
little plot is something growing. Here and there
fiutter small cabbage butterflies. and bees are
slipping from a fringed flower.

PooR COAL BARoNs.

Speaker Pringle, of the Kansas house
of representatives, has issued a state
ment in which he says that the Usage
county coal barons are really poor men
who make just about enough out of the
coal business to keep body and soul to-
gether. They may know that the ex-
brilliant prices they put upon coal OPP
press every poor man in Kansas, but
they can not help that, for if the barons
asked fair price for coal they might
starve, and what spectacle that would
be-a coal trust magnate suffering for
lack of bread.
Mr.. c. ]. Devlin is the only Usage coal
mine operator living in Topeka and he
is a very pleasant and agreeable gen.
tleman, and if Mr.. Pringle is to be be-
lieved, Mr.. Devlin is barely making
enough out of his coal mines to pay his
laundry bills. No one in Topeka wants
to see Mr.. Devlin suffer, no matter If
the people do have to pay more than
coal is worth. Mr.. Devlin and the other
poverty stricken coal mine operators
must be protected. After this the pub
lie will welcome any rise in the price
of fuel with the knowledge that the in
creased cost may be the means of keep
ing the wolf from the door of the poor
coal baronss

NEW rRuANoY LAW.

The new truancy law will be in effect
next week. Officers will be appointed
whose duty it will be to see that every
boy of IA years or less is in school dur
ing the school year.
The best thing about the Kansas law
is that. it places the responsibility upon
the parent or guardian A boy with
parents who have never enjoyed the
advantages of education is pretty apt to
meet with little opposition at home when
he announces that he has decided to
stay out of school and carry messages
or go fishing. In the mind of the parent
there is a great deal of valuable time
wasted in the school ROOM If his boy
can earn three dollars a week it will
make the burdens of the head Of the
household lighter. The boy drifts away
from school until he has fallen so far
behind his companions that his pride
will not permit him to resume his
studies.
But the Kansas law comes to the
rescue of the boy. If~he is not in school
the law demands to know why and the
parent must answer the question. It
ought to be an invaluable aid to the
cause of education in Kansas.

Coal Trust Decision Won't Be
GiYen Soon.

1t is possible that there will be no
decision in the coal trust habeas corups
case in the supreme court for months.
A case almost exactly parallel has been
tide UP in the supreme court almost a
year and a half awaiting decision
from the United States supreme court,
and as the coal trust case would doubt
less be carried to the United States SUI
preme court anyway, the state supreme
court may conclude to hold up its de-
cision in the coal trust habeas corpus
case along with the other.
The other case is the grain trust case
against E. ]. Smiley, secretary of the
State Grain Dealers association A suit
was instituted in Reno county to md
out about the grain trust, and Mr.
Smiley was subpoenaed to TESTIFY. He
refused on the ground that 1t might in
criminate him. the same as the coal
trust operators did here this week.
Judge NJ P. Simpson held that the law
is good, just the same as did Judge
Hazen and Smiley was committed to
Jail for contempt of court in refusing to
testify. He applied for writ of habeas
corpus in the supreme court on the
ground that the antitrust law is in vio-
lation of the fourteenth amendment, the
same as the coal trust operators have
done.
About the same time Smiley was con-
victed in a Rush county case of vlolat-
ing the antitrust law, and was sem
fenced to iail and to pay a fine. This
was brought to the supreme court on a
direct appeal. The supreme court af-
firmed the court below and Smiley ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court, where the case is still pending.
The habeas corpus action TO get
Smiley out of the Reno county Jail was
argued before the supreme court and
submitted on April s. 1902. A decision
and opinion would have been regularly
handed down the first Saturday in May
of last year, but the supreme court rec
ords show that no decision has been rem
dered 1t is said that the supreme court
is holding up it's decision awaiting that
of the United States supreme court in
the other Smiley case, as the same ques-
tons are involved.
While this may delay a decision from
the Kansas supreme court in the coal
trust case, it will probably bring about
an ultimate, decision of the question
much sooner than would otherwise be
obtained because the decision of the
United States supreme court in the
Smiley case will also settle the coal trust
case, except as to the allegation that the
antitrust law is void because it treats
of more than one subject, not clearly
expressed in the title, and the fact that
the law has already been upheld would
show what the Kansas supreme court
thinks OF this contention.

NO MAoARoNI WHEAT.

The edict against macaroni wheat is
sued by the grain men of the northwest
will not affect Kansas. Macaroni wheat
has but one advantage over the old
fashioned Kansas grain. That is its
drouth resistant qualities. The ground
may parch and the hot winds blow. but
macaroni wheat grows merrily on.
When the government commenced its
experiments with this grain it was for
the purpose of introducing it In Kansas,
for had not Jere Wilson said that Kan
sas belongs to the semi-arid region?
But if Kansas ever stood in need of
macaroni wheat is was long ago. The
old kind is good enough for Kansas now.
A state that in the drouthy month Of
the season-August-has IA inches of
rain and more than it requires during
the other months need not trouble itself
about the kinds of grain that will with
stand the drouth.
Let the government send its macaroni
wheat to Dakota or Minnesota or even
to staid old Pennsylvania. Kansas has
no use for it,

HIS MONEY TALKS.

There is a weIl-to-do man living in
this city who never has a good word to
say for Topeka and few for Kansas. He
has often told his friends that if he had
his money out of the city, where it is
invested he would leave the state never
to return. He did leave the state years
ago and while he was gone he laid the
foundations of his fortune. But as soon
as he had assured himself that his BUSH
ness was sound and that the earnings
were assured he came back to Topeka
and began to make investments And
as he spent his money he complained.
There were too many joints In the city
or too few: the taxes were too high;
there were too many cranks, and so on.
His wall was unceasing. In spite of this,
as soon as he would receive the profits
of his business he would at once invest
them in Topeka property, adding to his
already large holdings. 1t is only a
short time ago that he purchased an
other business block and he will prob
ably continue to do so as long as he
has money to be invested.
The acts of this man tell their own
story No matter what he may say, he
knows that Topeka is the best city in
the best state in the Union He knows
that it's schools are unexceled, its peo-
pie hospitable and companionable and it
is as free from vice and crime as any
city under the sun. Moreover he knows
that his investments are safe in Topeka
and so he does not hesitate to buy resi-
dences and business blocks. The money
he spends is an unanswerable contradic-
ton to his expressed opinions.

THE aQu1ETn MANIAC.

A few days ago young man in Bar
Der county cut his wife's throat. He
was suffering from a religious mania,
and it had been known for several
weeks that he was not in his right
mind. The Index. of Medicine Lodge,
says of the affair:
Albert Ireland has always been a
hard working. honest young man, and
in his right mind was always quiet, in
offensive and Deaceable. His brothers
knew that his mind was affected for
few months, especially on religious
matters. but they did not suspect that
it would ever lead him to violence.
knowing his disposition as they did
The paper then gives the motive as
expressed by the young man after he
was taken to sail:
He had no regrets, but insisted that
he had simply obeyed his Lord and
Master. and quoted different scriptural
passages to prove it. The only thing,
he said. that prevented him from max
ing an attempt on his brothers life
was a passage forbidding one man to
slay his brother. conveying the impress
sion that it was the duty of some other
Christian to kill him If he did not re-
pent.'
There is nothing unusual in the case
of Albert Ireland. Similar things occur
every week in Kansas, and the only re-
markable thing in connection with
these tragedies is that the people will
not learn wisdom by experience. II
may be that the friends of the Barber
county young man were of the opinion
that Ireland was simply enjoying the
delights of religion, and that he was
perfectly sane. The family of the
afflicted is always slow to believe the
truth. and when they are made to re-
