The move of c. S. Finch in leaving the
Lawrence Journal and buying an inter
est in a Democratic paper with view
to making it independent in politics, is
causing a great deal of comment over
the state. Here is one from the Atchi-
son Globe
1T has been stated that Mr. Finch
did not mind it because he was turned
down as postmaster. Oh, no; he doesn't
mind it. but watch him hereafter. He
will pay off some old scores, as the An
thongs are doing. And he viii have a
right to do il. Kansas politicians are
entirely too im9udeut with their or

There are different ways of looking at
things. Here is a side view on the state
printer contest as seen by the Alma
Enterprise.
TT is rather amusing to hear the To-
peka Capital talk about the crucihxion
of Ed Hoch for state printer, after
Editor Capper put in nearly a year in
assisting in the crueifying. Capper
wanted to be state printer and fought
Hoch up to a few weeks ago and now
because Hoch was not elected, Capper's
paper says it is an outrage on the peo-
pie, etc. Curtis also talks about his
great sorrow over Hoch's defeat, telling
of his splendid services for the party,
but it wasn't so very long ago that Cur
tbs took the nomination for congress
away from Hoch and exhibited no tears
or signs of grief either"
Here is the view Mr.. Hoch himself
proposes to take of the matter, as given
in his paper:
"The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining,
And so I turn my clouds about,
And always wear them inside out,
To see the lining"

SUCCESS In SIGHT.

1t looks now as if Savannah would
get the big dredge Cumberland, for
which application was made through
the Chamber of Commerce sometime
ago. According to a report which we
published yesterday the Ocean Steam
ship Company also sent a petition to
the government asking that the dredge
be put to work in Savannah harbor
and on Savannah bar. This petition
was referred to Col. Quinn, who placed
his endorsement upon it. If the gov
eminent did not intend to act favor
ably on Col. Quinn's Endorsement it is
probable it wouldn't have sent the
petition to him.
AS a matter of fact work should be
done in the harbor and on the bar as
soon as possible. A good deal of work
ought to be done this summer, pre-
paratory to the beginning of the fall
shipping business. The dredge at work
in the harbor- now is altogether too
small. The Cumberland is capable of
doing as much in one day as that
dredge could do in several days. Be
sides. the dredge now in service
could accomplish practically nothing on
the bar.

Joke Harrison Liked.

For all his ice and chilly quietudes
President Harrison owned a sense ~
humor, and would now and then get
hold of joke and treasure it as a
schoolboy might an apple, having II
frequently out of his pocket to exhibit
and admire. One such, says a writer
in the Saturday Evening Post, is a
story he was ever quick to tell on
the austere Justice Field, who didn't
like it.
Complaining letters of all sorts come
to a President. One day a. Western
marshal grew Querulous because an
item in his accounts, by which the
government was charged with a car
riage furnished Field from his hotel
to the court, had been disallowed The
marshals grief was made the sharper
since his fellow-marshal of an ad-
Joining state had likewise furnished
a carriage for Field when he held
court within his district, and the
charge had been allowed and paid.
Commonly little attention is given to
these cries of the wronged beyond
what is required to shunt them upon a
proper" official-usually the one
against whom complaint is lodged. But
in this instance Harrison asked his
secretary to discover the truth of the
trouble. Why was one charge allowed
and the other refused?
The secretary took a look into the
riddle and learned that the fortunate
one had been sagacious enough to in
clude the carriage for Field in his
item of expense For care and trans
portation of prisoners" In that way
Il was allowed. 1t used to give Har-
rison much pleasure to relate this
yarn; Field. however. saw nothing
funny in it.

An American drummer just returned
from London tells that a thrifty Brit
ish clergyman whom he met over there
makes a regular business of syndicat-
ing sermons, says the New York Com
mercial.
Asked by a Philadelphia reporter
exactly what he meant by "syndicat-
ing sermons" he replied: "Why the
dominic writes sermon, and then he
prints about forty or fifty copies of it,
and he offers to one preacher in each
forty or fifty towns the exclusive use
in his own town of the production. The
price of the sermon to each man is
only five shillirgs, but if fifteen or
twenty men take it it brings in to the
syndicator, you see, about 100 shilIings,
or $25 ARC since the sermons are so
short that one can be done in a morn
ing, that is pretty good pay. The syn
dicator advertises his sermons in a re-
ligious paper. The notice reads:
A clergyman Of experience and
moderate views, who distinguished
himself during his university course in
divinity and English composition, will
furnish original sermons, in strict ac-
cordance with the Church of England
in good print, at five shillings each
only one copy will be given in anv
diocese. A specimen will be sent If
wished for. Sermons made to order. On
any required subject on reasonable

Mrs. Elizabeth H. Boechmier, who

L. Frank Baum, author of fairy
tales, is credited by the Kansas City
Journal with saying that while he was
at Southern winter resort recently,
a lady who had a penchant for meet
ing all sorts of celebrities secured an
introduction to him, and asked permits
sion to present her little daughter, a
miss of seven, who knows every one
of your books by heart" The young
lady, lank haired and round eyed, ex-
tended her hand in a mechanical fash
ion, and, staring straight into the au-
thor's face, she remarked:
'Mr. Baum, 1 think you're q very
wonderful man."
Somewhat embarrassed by this direct
praise, the children's author patted her
head and asked:
why do you say that, my dear?"
Because mamma told me to" an
swered the child, complacently, and in
the roar of laughter that followed the
stricken mother made good her escape.

THE JUNE BRIDEGROOM.

Rhapsodies on the June bride are
now ripe, and the crop is bountifuI'
The dear creature, of course, is worthy
of all the good things said about her.
She is the loveliest. sweetest, most
charming and altogether delightful
thing that ever came down the pike,
or the central aisle of the church. Her
very presence is a benediction and
suggestion of the spiced isles, and her
dresses--Ah, they are dreams! II you
don't believe it just get into the com
pany of any of her girl friends; you
won't have the trouble of asking about
it. The June bride is sit" at this sea-
son of the year. She is always top
of column next to reading matter"
which being interpreted means that she
gets choice position, where she and
her beauty and her gown would posi-
lively demand attention if it were not
given freely, gladly and voluntarily.
She deserves, and has, the admiration
Of all creation.
And yet we make bold to put in a
little plea on behalf of the June bride
groom, that he be not forgotten. Or
dinarily he cuts mighty little figure
in the proceedings. He is regarded
rather in the light of a piece of the
stage settings, or a foil to show off
the radiant beauty of the brdde-elect.
That he is a very necessary adjunct to
the function which brings the bride all
ablush into the public eye win be adj
mitted. But who notices how he is
dressed? Not even the bride herself.
She and the others have a hazy pic
ture of a man with something black on
his body and something white on his
hands, and some of the spectators may
observe a scared look on his face. But
that is about all. Nobody says,
Wasn't he handsome!" How per-
fectly his costume set off his splendid
figure!" Wasn't he just too sweet
for anything" Comments and COM
pliments of the kind are reserved for
the bride. The bridegroom doesn't get
them. And, to tell the truth, he is
glad of it. He is well content for her
to be the recipient of all the attentions
while he stands meekly in the back
ground. It's less embarrassing and
less bothersome.
1t is after the wedding and in the
home life that the June bridegroom
shows up big, If he is of the right sort,
and most of them are. 1t is when
the honeymoon has waned that he
proves to the June bride the wisdom
of her choice. 1t is when he takes off
his coat and hustles hard at work all
day, and is tender. loving and true
under the evening lamp, that he demon
strates he is not the clothing dummy
that he appeared to be during the we'd
ding ceremony. 1t may be that the
world will not notice it. No mention
OF the fact will be found in the society
columns, and the neighborhood COS
sips will have nothing to say about it.
But when he has made her happy
home the June bride will understand
and appreciate the fact, if she is of the
right sort, and most of them are, and
will bless the day that brought to her
her very own June bridegroom. They
are both good people; may they live
long and prosper.

Laying the Ghost.

One of the most enterprising of
American Bishops, whose jurisdiction
in, the Far West, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, is so poor that he has devel-
oped such remarkable talents as beg
gar that his friends in the East de-
clare they flee when they hear Of his
approach, turned up Unexpectedly DUR
ing the holidays at a country mouse
where a weekend party was being en-
tertained. The house was so full that,
with some misgivings on the part of
the hostess, the Bishop was put into a
chamber reputed to be haunted. At
breakfast the most anxious inquiries
were made as to the good mans sleep.
These inquiries were regularly repeat
ed for several days, but to the general
disappointment the Bishop always re-
ported the soundest of slumbers. Be-
fore he departed the Bishop asked the
cause of the unusual solicitude, and
was told the state of the case. And
have you, indeed, neither seen nor
heard nything unusual?" the hostess
inquired. Now that you remind me
of it," was the reply, 1T believe some
body did come to my bedside the first

THE RELIANCE CALLED A MARVEL


In yachting circles there is more
than satisfaction with the Reliance.
She is called a wonder, a marvel and
other names expressive of the high
opinion that is entertained of her. In
all of the races so far sailed with the
Columbia and the Constitution she has
easily been the winner.
In the races the Constitution has
beaten the Columbia, the successful
defender of the cup in the races with
Shamrock 1 and Shamrock II, and the
Reliance has easily beaten the Consti-
tuition. There seems TO be every rea-
son, therefore, for thinking that the
Reliance will successfully defend the
cup against Shamrock III.
The Reliance has been tried in about
all kinds of wind that prevails on the
Sandy Hook course, and she has not
been a disappointment In a single in
stance. She meets all requirements in
light as well as in strong winds, in a
smooth sea and in a rough sea- In
fact, Herreshoff seems to have outdone
himself-to have produced a better
boat than it was thought possible for
him TO produce. Anyway, those who
have put their money in the Reliance
and all the other members of the New
York Yacht Club are so well satisfied
with her that they haven't a doubt
that she will beat Sir Thomas Hpton's
boat so badly that he will not want to
make another effort to capture the cup.
There is no doubt, of course, that he
has a good boat, and it is probable
that. because of the pluck he has
shown and the sportsmanlike way in
which he has taken defeat, there are a
good many Americans who feel so
much sympathy for him that they
wouldn't regret 1t greatly if he were to
capture the cup. but the vast majority
of Americans, however much they
may like Sir Thomas. want the Amerl-
can boat to win. And there seems TO
be every reason for thinking they will
not be disappointed.

little transaction he would have added
s27, 900, 900 to his wealth, provided the
securities he received from the com
bined properties were worth their face
value. But whether they were worth
their face value or not it is the under
standing that a good many millions
Of dollars worth of the bonds were
sold to the public at about their par
value.
1t is probable, of course, that Mr..
Schwab and those associated with him
intended to make the United States
shlpbuilding Company pay dividend
on all of its stock, besides paying the
interest on the bonds, but somehow
or other the scheme did not turn out
as well as it's projectors expected, and
therefore there is a reorganization
scheme on foot, and a fight in the
courts with the first mortgage bond
holders.
But, isn't the case interesting as
showing how some of the great for
tunes are made? Here was a steel
plant, namely, the Bethlehem Iron
Works, which was bought for $S,00O,-
900 above the 100000 mortgage on
it, and. in less than a year, sold to
the United States Shipbuilding Com
pany for $4O,OOO,OOo. If all such schemes
were successful there would be many
more multi-millionaires than there are,
provided there were not too many I'M
digestible securities. Securities Of that
kind are becoming exceedingly trouble
some to promoters these days.
