SANTA FE WILL WAIT.

The announcement of Vice President
Kendrick of the Santa Fe that the COM
pany will make no more improvements
this year will occasion little surprise.
The road has done its share during the
past five years and the equipment and
roadbed and depot facilities could
scarcely be in better condition.
Kansas has good reason to be proud
of the Santa Fe railroad. 1t is one Of
the best railroad systems on the con-
tinent. The company has shown a Ie
gard for the comfort of the travelling
public which has it's compensation in
loaded coaches. There have been few
disastrous wrecks, which is an indica
ton of the care taken in running trains
as we'll as of the excellence of the road
bed. ~.
The Topeka shops have been brought
to the distinction of being in the high
est rank of it's class. 1t is an institu-
ton of which any city or state may
well be proud and the best part of it
all is that the small army of men en-
ployed in this mammoth works are
contented and there is no sign of any
labor disturbance. The company has
given another evidence of its progress
and liberality by voluntarily increasing
the wages of its skilled mechanics. 1t
is true that this was no more than JUS
tice. for every class of labor is now
receiving larger wages than for many
years, but large corporations are not
always just. -. 49,.
If there is any company in the west
that can afford to call a halt on i'm
provements it is the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway company. There
is no danger that it will fall behind the
procession this year. 1t may well wait
for the others to catch up.

THE COMING FAIR.

Topeka is to have a fair next week.
1t is to be one of the old-fashioned kind
in which John and Mary bring in their
potatoes and large ears of corn and try
for prizes. The outcome is watched with
considerable interest. because it is a re-
vival of the state fair of ten years ago
which were interrupted by repeated crop
failures.
1t has been argued that people have
outgrown the fair idea and that they are
now demanding new and novel features.
but nevertheless many successful fairs
are held every year. In fact there is
scarcely an agricultural state that has
not its state fair.
The result of next weeks meeting is
therefore of considerable Importance
and will determine whether they are TO
be made a permanent feature. This is
an ideal year for big old fashioned fair
and if this one is not a success it offers
little encouragement for fair boards of
managers in the future.
The people of Topeka ought to help
make next weeks event success.

DON'T PLAY WITH BABY.

Don't play with the baby" is the
latest Injunction regarding the health,
happiness and future welfare of that
important member of the household.
You would naturally suppose that this
advice emanated from a Professor of the
University of Chicago or an old maid
and it must be admitted that there Is
excuse for the inference, but this time
YOU are wrong. DR. H. c. Carpenter,
said to be a prominent physician of
Chicago-by the way. most of the freak
theories seem to originate in Chicago, as
if the Windy City was determined not
to be known only for its bacon and
hams-has made the discovery that
playing with the baby, tossing him in
the air. teasing him to laugh and show
his dimples and all the other methods
by which grown-ups have found amuse-
ment and delight in his society, are
nositiyely injurious to his nervous sys-
tenn.
1t is a great mistake. says DR.. Car
penter. to suppose because the baby re-
sDonds with wonder-look or laugh
of apparent delight that it is being
amused" On the contrary he insists
1T is not only being plagued, but is sus
tanning in nine cases out of ten ire
parable injury
Dr. Carpenter is determined also to
deprive the proud mother of her chief
joy in life, the exhibition of the baby.
This. he says, is positively criminal and
is not designed for the child's good, but
for the parents pride, resulting often
in an excitement which may impair the
infants digestion or worse-infiict the
baby with a nervousness which may
seriously affect its health in after life.
No doubt this theory will be received
with enthusiasm by the helpless bach
elors who have had the babies of their
married friends thrust into their arms
without having the least idea how the
bundle of lace and linen and human life
ought to be held and have grown black
in the face in their efforts to laugh at
the babys smart sayings and doings as
chronicled by its infatuated father.

NO WAR WITH TURKEY.

President Roosevelt says that he ap-
prehends no serious trouble between
the United States and Turkey. Nearly
every other American citizen is of the
same opinion. The Turk knows some
thing about America. He was a silent
spectator while Spain was being given
the lesson of her life. There is conse-
quently little reason to believe that he
will risk his kingdom by rushing into
an encounter which would be certain
to prove disastrous.
The presence of the Brooklyn in Turk
ish waters will stimulate the memory
of the Turk if he has forgotten, but his
conduct would indicate that he does not
require any memory aids. Whatever
else may be said of the sultan he mas
