HAS KEPT HIS WORD.
Bachelor Governor of Kansas Keeps
a Campaign Promise.
New Executive Mansion Now Has .
Mistress and Everybody Seems
Pleased-Unique Political
Romance.

When it was found last summer that
the republicans of Kansas, by some in
advertence, had nominated bachelors
for governor and lieutenant governor,
distinct social shock was experienced
in that state, and there was decided
feeling of surprise elsewhere.
For the pride of Kansas, even more
than her corn crop, is her homes and
schools, and without wives and chill
dren homes and schools are manifestly
impossible. Furthermore, no matter
what may be the feeling in the east,
in Kansas there is a widespread belief
that bachelor is only half man,
who is not doing his duty to the repub-
lie.
Hence the celibacy of the republican
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor became a political issue in a
way, chiefly humorous, of course, but
still not without its serious aspects.
Furthermore, the state had just com-
pleted fine executive mansion, and
the people were disappointed with the
prospect that this should be a mere
bachelors hall.
Hence, Hon. Willis ]. Bailey was
moved to promise, or to at least to init
mate. that if he were elected governor
he would marry and cease to set a bad
example of bachelorhood to the young
men of Kansas and the nation.
In this connection it is deplorable to
be compelled to state, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, that in the United States
and Canada there were at least 1000
women who threw themselves at Gov.
Bailey's head and voluntarily ex-
pressed their desire to share the home

services of the men whose states have
decided to supplant them is sound
enough. Service in the senate often
develops the usefulness of man to his
country as well as to his party, and va
cancies in other branches of the public
service are often best filled by men
with at least six years experience in
the upper house of congress. But the
practice is susceptible of abuses, and it
is at times INDUCED in at the expense
of ADLER men for no better reason than
a willingness to take care of men who
have outlived their usefulness and
would better be suffered to retire to
the private life to which they had been
relegated.
There are at present ten ex-senators
filling prominent government posi-
items and at least two ex-representa-

AN EXTRAVAGANTAGE.

Great complaint is now made con-
corning the high cost of living, and
there is some ground for it. 1t does
cost more to live, it does cost more
for some of the necessities of life,
but the increased cost of living is
due IN the main to our taste for lux
ury, to our extravagance. There
never was such luxurious age; there
never was such an extravagant age.
Some men have made great deal of
money during the past few years,
and they are setting the pace in ex-
penditures. Others who have not
made SO much are trying either to
keep up with them or to initiate
them and are spending more money
than their incomes warrant. Many
men are harder up with an income of
two thousand dollars year than they
were with an income of one thousand
dollars year, the reason being that
their expenditures grow in greater
proportion than the increase in in
come. 1t is almost invariably the
case.
Here is one of the dangers of pros
perlty. We have been living at a
rapid pace; we have been going in a
whirl; we have been spending money
like water, and the trouble is that in
doing so, we have been falling into
luxurious habits and cultivating ex-
pensiye tastes.
This prosperity must come to an
end by and by, and many men will
have to come down to hard pan.
Those who have been sensible enough
to see it and to invest their earnings
in good property will be ready for
the hard times, but those who have
wasted their substance in riotous
living, who have formed taste for
luxuries, will be worse off than they
were before, and those who have gone
into debt will be in q bad state sure
enough.-Iimes- Dispatch.
