Occasionally man does some
thinking when his head feels the need
Of more exercise. Now and then, on
these occasions, he gets up against
snag. Illuminating, we wondered what
in creation is the matter with the
churches of to-day They seem to be
losing their grip on the people, and
we pondered why? Chewing the cud
of intrOspection, we recalled the
words of a wandering socialist, once
prominent pastor who left his flock
to travel as peasant over the coun-
try, working here and there wherever
he could get employment and study
ing the labor question as he went.
This man, after a year of this expert
ence, found that he stood a better
chance of being fed by a saloonkeeper
than a Christian, when hungry He
found that one out of twenty who pro-
fessed religion practiced it. He dis
covered that the rich people of the
church met the poor people on a level
only inside the church doors. He
found men who protested no religion
at all had a religion of their own
that directed them to be honest, to be
sympathetic, to be angels of mercy in
times of need. He found as much re-
ligiOn out of the church as within, and
shocked beyond compare, he set about
preaching outside of the church the
religion that makes man think and
act nObly, that softens his heart to the
needy and knows no caste. Religion
of itself is nothing if not practical. A
Sunday religion is not religion. DO
ing unto others as you would be done
by is the best religion. When church
people learn to regard the churches
as a business Office in which to lay
campaigns along this line, then will
the church grow and prosper. The
mere wearing of a black coat, to be
put on and off at will, does not make
a man gentleman.

Our wife came home yesterday with
one of those miniature yarn over
coats that ordinarily reach the house
about three days before the doctor
gets there. Our first thought was she
intended trying it on the dog, but
later developments, more or less
clouded in secrecy, point to some
thing doing soon out in Iowa where
storks are exceedingly plentiful. 1t
does beat all how thick this game is
in the Hawkeye state. One can go
out with a gun and bag flock of
storks on the sand dunes that skirt
the Cedar river. most any day. At
least, this is common report Not
being much of hunter when we
lived there we cannot vouch for the
truth of the assertion, but we firmly
believe it ourself They are as thick
as humming birds. Wonder if that
yarn thing our wife bought will fit
what the stork brings, anyhow?

The New Republlcanism In Kansas

Kansas Is known throughout the
Union as an old soldier state and far
mer state. For quarter Of a century
The republican party jollied these two
elements into the belief that it waS
their special friend and champion.
or late years, however, there haA
come to the fore In the republican,
party class Of politicians who know
neither the veteran nor the farmer
These politicians have been In control
since the defeat in Of the fusion fore
b. 10 1900.
There was one old soldier on the
roll of state officers comprising the
Stanley administration, which has
Just gone out Of business, 1t always
has been believed that he was put on
the ticket by mistake. Not farmer
was on the list.
In the Bailey administration there
Is not an old soldier on the list, and
only one farmer-Balley- but he has
quit farming to run bank. Lieut..
Gov. Hanna, Secretary of State Bur-
row and Treasurer Kelly are also
bankers. Auditor Wells is an editor,
School Superintendent Dayhoff. Of
course Is school teacher; and lnSur-
ance Superintendent Luling an insur-
ance agent, e.
At the recent meeting of the Kan
saS state board Of agriculture the at
tention Of the administration was
called to the fact that the present
board Of commissioners, appointed to
arrange for an exhibit at the st. Louis
exposition did not include a farmer In
Its membership. Gov. Bailey was
asked to make change and the far
rners are wondering II he is going to
do so.
The republican party of Kansas
certainly has moved far away from
frst principles @. World
The republican party in Kansas
against the old soldier and the farm
er,-no, such is pot the case. A fact
ion Of the party, and the controlling
faction at present may be, but that
faction does not truly represent the
rank and fle Of the party. 1t stands
for machine politics and to the mani
pulations Of the machine it owes its
success. It's triumph is not assured
forever. A day Of reckoning Is com,
ing, surely and quickly. True repub-
licans are republicans because Of the
principles for which tho party stands
and machine politics In their own
ranks appeal to them no more forclb-
ly than does an opposing party,

The Great American Fault.

In a recent issue of the Independent
There was novel bit Of criticism that
makes 1t interesting reading
An American machinist who lives
In England was invited to criticise
freely and honestly the Londoners,
anda Londoner was given space Ia
tell the worst he knew about
America.
Virgil E. Stackhouse, American,
dipped his pen In vitrol and declared
that the average Londoner is a pitful
type OF mankind. He Is denSely
ignorant, and knows little else than
to say "GOd save the king" In season
and out. His life Is monotony in.
tensihed and education is mostly gain
ed in the public houses which are
frequented by women and children.
Mr.. StackhouSe sees nothing but
mental and moral decay for the
average LondOner, who is pronounced
stupid"
Herbert W. Horwlll, who loves q
king like a child loves Its mothers
milk, and Is British to the core,
Slobbered some when he tried to lind
the great American fault. He says
we feel too big and haven't proper
sense Of the fitness OF things; that ws
don't realize how inharmonious We
are.
This may mean o great deal or 10
may mean nothing, but as examp Piles
he found fault with the spread OF
Christian Science and the decorations
at the funeral OF William Mckinley.
He also asserts when discipline be-
comes less abhorrent to the American
mind, American life, social and intel.
lectual, will become less afflicted By
jerklness.
In other words we are condemned for
being natural. We keep our feet on
the ground and our hearts In the
right place. Few OF us wear a society
mask, and II we are raw and crude va
are at least human.
Mr. Horwill did poor job at critics.
ing.
If the worst that the world can find
to say OF America cuts no deeper than
a suggestion that we don't know how
to wear our clothes or act when com
pany comes, there is still hope for thu

ordinations or seeks to enter into In
terstate commerce with the purpose
Of destroying competition.
1t Is for the supreme court to say
whether or not these plans are con-
stitutional. The point OF interest just
at present is that they propose some
thing definite and are aimed at the
worst Of the forms Of favortism
through which great combinations of
capital endeavor to destroy competi-
tion. When rallFOad diScriminates
among its patrons, giving one shipper
a low rate and another high one, a
public function which rightly should
be exercised for the benefit Of all the
people equally is employed against
them and in the interests Of few.
That this unjust practice gives bad
trusts very large part Of their power
for harm cannot be denied.
The inetfectiveness of the inter-
state-commerce law as a check upon
grave abuses has long been recognized.
A law which would insure to all
competitors equal opportunities to
get their goods to market on equal
terms would 20 far to compel strictly
legitimate methods Of business on the
part OF great industrial combina-
tions.-Chicago News.

Getting Fair Play by Law.

Widely as some Of the trust-regulat-
Ing plans differ, 1t is worthy of note
that the new movement toward trust
legislation is shaping itself definitely
along one particular line. In the new
administration bills drawn by At
torney Hoar's bill, the chief object is
10 prevent nterstate-commerce carrl.
erS from becoming instrumentallties
through which fayoritlsm may be ex.
ercised and competition destroyed.
The Hoar bill prescrlbes an explicit
plan through which TO enforce publl-
sty, especially as relates to financial
methods and capitalization. The ad.
.mlnistratlon measures provide for Sc.
:cuTing publicity through permanent
commission, Both plans are alike,
however, In that they seek to prevent
railway freight-rate determinations
and the perverted use OF the agencies
OF interstate commerce. Both, also.
are based on the theory that Congress
: has power to deny the use Of inter.
state.commerce faculties to any cor.
porstiuu which accepts unlawful dis
