The absorbing interest of Wall street
IN the crop situation, upon which a con
tinuation of prosperity so greatly de-
ponds. is indicated by Clews' Financial
Review thus. Crop prospects will be
watched with keener interest than for
several years simply because of the
lessened ability of the stock market TO
stand reverses. It is altogether too
early to form any crop opinions except
as to winter wheat. and here the as
surance of a bumper crop is practically
certain. This is important and decided
" encouraging. The season for other
crops is somewhat backward. but
weather conditions have been good and
most sections have been favored with
an ample degree of moisture which
should afford an excellent start. All re
ports from the agricultural districts are
satisfactory the farmers have had a
series Of prosperous years, and business
dependent thereon is good and promises
we'll Cor another season. A great deal
OF land speculation is following this
prosperity. which thus far has not
reached dangerous proportions but
nevertheless requires watching"

HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN?
Washburn's Apparent Ingratitude to
Col BITCHES Memory.

The Native Sons Of Kansas met last
night in the Commercial club rooms.
The feature of the meeting was a pa
per by Mrs H. c. Root on Col. John
Richie, in which she called attention to
the apparent ingratitude of the man
agement of Washburn college which in
reality owes its existence to Col.
Ritchie but which has not SO much as
named a building for him.
Mrs. Root said that Col Ritchie mort
gagged his own home for money to buy
the site for Washburn college. which
was certainly a greater sacrifice than
any of the people who have since made
donations and who have dormitories.
libraries and chapels named for them.
The part Of Mrs. Roots paper bear
ing on this question was as follows
''Washburn college is a, monument to
Col Riches generosity and of his
earnest desire for Christian church
and a Christian education for all races.
1t had its origin in the general associa-
ton of the Congregational church COM
posed of seven ministers and three lay
men of whom Col Richie was one. He
was chairman of the committee on col
lege location. He gave the three lots on
the corner of Tenth and Jackson and
81 eco toward the erection of the build
ing thereon. He also gave the $50 acres
on which the college now stands.
1T has always seemed to me that
Washburn college little appreciated his
gift which was in reality the founding
of the school, or it would do something
in recognition of his valuable efforts
and the enthusiasm with which he help
ed to found it, 1t was a great sacri-
flee to him financially as he mortgag ad
his home claim to be able to purchase
the land Some of the buildings might
at least be named in commemoration of
his generosity"
Mrs. Roots paper contained many in
teresting "reminiscences of this famous
Kansas pioneer and she closed with the
following words:
His connection with early Kansas
history has not always been appreciated
He was often called a crank for he was
a man whose opinions were in advance

territorial times until the present.

BETTER CHILDREN,
Not More Of Them, Are Wanted, Says
Mary A. Livermore.

Chicago. April 2s-A dispatch to the
Reeord-H erald from Boston says:
Before the members of an organization

Mary A. Livermore spoke of Child Cul-

race suicide question She said:
We need to listen more to talk about
the culture of fathers and mothers than
We do to the culture of the child. it seems
10 me There are two mighty factors that
enter into the making OF individuals and
Of nations These factors are heredity and
environment There are men and women
who are unit to be the parents Of children.
At the present time we have to depend
upon environment. In many cases it is
better to take children away from their
natural parents 50 that they may have a
a chance to do better.
THE need is not more children. but bet
ter ones. It would not be race suicide if
we were to have more homes into which

THE HOUSE OF MAN
The house of man is his own body
when the unclean spirit shall have gone
out. It has been cleaned and garnished
and stands in dignity and spendor,
emancipated from the evil by his re-
nunciation of all shining, and has been
left in a freedom of peace. What change
may have taken place during the time
the evil spirit has been gone? It is not
enough to be rid of the evils; we must
be filled with the gOod.-Rev. H Van
Dyke. Presbyterian. Princeton, n. j.

HITTING THE TARGET.
One must see the target before he can
take definite aim. Decide, then, what
you wish to be and be it Know what
you wish to do and do it. Conclude what
target you wish to hit and hit it, espe-
cially those targets which God demand
ed you to hit-truth, virtue, Christian
character. prayer, love and goodness.
Woe be to the man who does not take
definite aim at each of these and draw
bow with his full strength. for to miss
these targets is to miss heaven.-Rev.
