justify every paper in accepting such
advertisements, and that is the lofty
contempt that meets the solicitor
when he visits certain stores in this
and other towns. In defense OF the
sensible and wide-awake merchants
of Lawrence, however, the papers
here have to and do refuse the big
department store advertising. 1t is
q sacrifice that ib,appreciated by but
a few Of the merchants, but the APP
probation Of those who do realize
what it means is sufficient to repay
US for the loss"
The papers Of Abilene likewise re-
fuse mail order and department store

every week. Many Of the merchants
appreciate 1t too-but there are others
who do notseern to do so.

Docs Woman Want Suffrage?

Rev. Lyman Abbott opens the
September Atlantic with an able and
suggestive article on Why Women
do mot Wish the Suffrage, an attitude
which be Gains results not from any
inieriority Of woman to man, but
from her essential difference, bodily
and mentally. He says:
"The first and most patent fact in
the family is the difference in the
sexes. Out Of this difference the
family 10 created; in this difference
the family finds Its sweet and sacred
bond. This difference is mot merely
physical and incidental. 1t Is also
psychical and essential. 1t inheres
In the temperament; it is inbred in
the very fibre Of the soul; 1t diferen.
tiates the functions; 1t determines the
relation between man and woman;
1t fixes their mutual service and their
mutual obligations. Man Is not
woman In Q different case. Woman
10 mot man inhabiting temporarily q
different kind OF body. Man is not o
rough and tumble woman. Woman
js not feeble and pliable man. This
essential difference In the sexes is the
first and fundamental fact In the
family; u is therefore the first and
fundamental fact in society, which is
but large family
"Thess twain are not identical.
They do not duplicate each other.
Man is not an Inferior woman.
Woman is not an inferior man. They
are different In nature, in tempsra-
ment, In function. We cannot de-
stroy this difference II we would; we
would not II we could. In preserving

The large Legislative appropriations
necessitated a levy Of ga mills this
year as against previous levies Of 81.
Under the act Of the legislature fixing
q maximum levy OFF, millions next
year 1t is probable that the levy for
that year win be reduced from ga to
about 81 unless there should be q
smaller assessment. But politics has
become thoroughly demoralized In
Kansas when 1t becomes necessary to
defend state board Of equalization
against the unheard.oi crime charged
against them Of making tax levy
sufficient to meet necessary expenses.
How the board could be expected to
keep the levy stationary when the
legislature increased appropriations
half million dollars passes compre.

Hiawatha World: "The people
will not forget Ed Hoch's punishment
the punishment of the legislature
the employment Of needless help at
state expense in order to pay admin
istration's' political debts-the Kansas
Mutual $1,000 Leland receiverships-
the failure to take care Of our own
flood sufferers. The sins OF the Re-
publicans now in power are many.
The people will not forget. Those
responsible for them will be whipped
out OF existness."
