Topeka, Kan. April 21.-Mrs. Car
rie Nation has brought to realization
the plan for the establishment of a
home for drunkards' wives in this

aid of the Vanderbilts when she so
boldly went up to their box at the
horse show in New York and proceed
ed to tell them some of the things
she thought of them until she was
elected She opened the home here.
and as an initial step in her pro-
gress. admitted five women. They
were all destitute and ill.,
One of the husbands, when he heard

home, went to the house to protest
but he fed precipitately when Carrie

things if he did not leave Immediate

It was explained to the council yes terday by Senator Burson that it was hardly worth while to order any more bills printed as the printer was "al- ready chuck block" with bills ordered to be printed, and it could not be ex- pected that further bills sent down session. Under this state of affairs, the members of the two houses will have to legislate largely by guesswork during the remainder of the session.

According to a London cablegram a system of wireless telegraphy. which has been for some time experimentally operated for short distances and at sea, is about to be brought out in competi- tion with the Marconi system. It :s the result of the joint investigation of Sir Oliver Lodge, principal of the uni versity of Birmingham, and pr. Alex ander Muirhead, a well known tele- graphic expert, and employs Professor Lodges inventions, which Marconi and others are using, and also one at least of Lord Kelvin's inventions. It is said that experts who have seen the present system working pronounce it to be more rapid and clearer than anything yet exhibited. It is claimed the signals almost equal the best submarine tele- graph work.

CURRENT
 COMM ENT
City Birth and Country.

It appears that a child born where he could first willingly open his eyes up- on noble square, framed in by palaces whose frescoed and sculptured fronts should face in garden spaces a lovely fountain with groups of beautiful stat nary glimpsed through the leaves and waters, ought to feel the impulse to creat tive art far more than a child that first looks out on a barn and hen house, with pump in the foreground, and a woodshed struggling along in the middle distance, and some cattle emerg- ing from the background; or on an empty village street, athwart a door, yard with the Mondays wash hang ing out in it. Yet the chances inn nensely are that the farm born or vil- lage born boy will feel the divine in fiuence which will not visit the soul of the city-born child; or if city birth is not wholly alien to the creative will, that it shall stir in the spirit of some ooy born in a mean house, on back street, or over a shop. and not in the heart of boy born in a palace on q noble square-W. D. Howells in March Harpers.

English girl sung by an English poet. "she brings the summer and the sur" Technically and as a matter of conven- tion, to be sure, there are no red head ed girls. They have to be "Titian-hair- ed,'' auburn haired" with hair of the hue that poets love-" and so on with similar idiocy. So cowardly, so fool ish and so much the dupe of supersti- tion is the world. Is it because Judas Iscariot was popularly supposed to have red poll that red headedness has to blush for it's own color, so to speak" Two left legs would be a blemish. but Judas colored hair should be judged by it's merits as piece of color and not condemned on account of lit erary or legendary associations.
 A similar trick of association and habit leads even our Old Dominion pyrrotrichophilist to assume that red headed girl is fiery It would be as just to assume that a yellow haired girl is bilious. What is the origin of this lingering belief that the red headed are sudden and quick in quarrel? A savage or barbarous, at least pagan, belief, we'll go bail. On such prepos- terous grounds is an even temper de- nied to the red headed girl by the thoughtless; and even by the Richmond philosopher.
 The red headed girl is spirited. There is no dull albinism about her nature, and temperament. But there is no bet ter reason for calling her fiery than for holding that blue-eyed girl must be deep in the blues.-New York Sun.

What Senator Morgan Wants.

Senator Morgan's fight gainst the Panama canal treaty has been substan- tially single-handed, but he has found enough objections for a whole senate.
 Among other things, he has been con- tending for an amendment safeguard ing the interoceanic canal act of June IS, 1902; an amendment exemptins Americans from the operation of Col ombia's concordat with the Pope; an amendment giving the United States canal rights in perpetuity, instead Of a hundred years privilege, the cites of Colon and Panama to be included in the canal grant; a cash payment to Col ombia of $7,0O0,0 instead of s10,0O0,- 900; payment of the $250000 annual rental to Colombia for the period of 62 years, instead of indefinitely; the Unit ed States to have exclusive control of immigration into the canal zone, and the right to establish military courts there as well as civil courts, and the right to use it's land and naval forces for the protection of the canal at its sole discretion, and all the time 1t needs to finish the canal. These are some of the improvements in the treaty which the old champion of the Nicaragua route is pressing again upon the atten- tion of the senate.

Our Cosmopolitan President.

MT. Roosevelt seems to be of as many nationalities as MT. Dooley's An glo-SaXon. Nminally of the purest Knickerbocker extraction, he variously represents to the world the fine flavor of New England puritanism and the racy tang of the Western pioneer. At the time of his election his Hebrew con- stituents of the East Side were ready to hail him brother, and now an Irish man of prominence returning to Lon don reports that President Roosevelt is himself half an Irishman, ana lis proud of it.'' For our part, it is very hard to believe that MT. Roosevelt is proud of being halfway anything. As the President of a multifarious people he is unquestionably able for the nonce to be completely the Pole, Finn, Ger man, Italian, etc. and yet all the time to be very much Theodore Roose- welt and an American. Any Irish vis- itor to the White House who felt that the President was only half an Irish man showed deplorabl lack of sym pathetic apprehension - New York Evening Post.

A Narrow Escape.

The house of representatives narrowly escaped doing very foolish thing yes- terday. By vote of 12 to 12 only, the bill to repeal the local option law was defeated. Had the repeal bill gone through it undoubtedly would have been beaten in the council, but its pass age by the house would have been more of disgrace than Arizona would care to stand for.
 What public interest the gentlemen in favor of the bill expected to serve was not disclosed. Certainly, there was no demand from the people for repeal of the local option law. But, had the law been repealed, the statesmen would have learned very quickly that there is a public sentiment on the question which it would not be wise to ignore. It is somewhat of misnomer to term the existing statute a local option law; that is. it does not apply practically to the entire territory, it having been en- acted for the benefit of the agricultural communities in the Salt and Giia River valleys. and in these communities only is there any probability of its provis- ions being utilized.
 The thanks of the public are largely due to MT. Woo1f of Maricopa county for the defeat of the bill. In the pre- lirninary skirmishing it was disclosed that a majority of the representatives were for the measure, and it would have passed had not Mir. Woolf made an eloquent speech against it. Liquor deal- CTS of the better class, who conduct places in a law-abiding and orderly seek the repeal of the local option law AS Mir. Woolf made clear, to repeal the law would have provided for the return of the pestiferous road houses to the great detriment of peaceable commu- mites. It is notorious that these re. sorts, operated without police regula. ton, were social ulcers, as they are ir every state where thy exist. It is well Known that when these placeS were operated in the neighborhood of Phoe- nix the proprietors were so anxious for "business' that they did not hesitate tc supply children with liquor. Youths and young girls were led into the place. and were started on the road to ruin.
 It is unfortunate, perhaps, that the present house has no member of a humorous turn. Otherwise, the mem bers would have learned of the absurd ity of passing a bill one day to close harmless barber shops on Sundays and holidays, and the next day passing 3 bill to encourage road houses" to dc business every day and Sunday, and ev. cry night.

Dennis T. Flynn.

II step down and out" said Honor
 able Dennis T. Flynn, former delegate
 in congress from Oklahoma, with
 gratitude to the people of Oklahoma,
 and I am proud of the confidence they
 have so long reposed in me" MT. Flynn
 has made a most excellent and envia ble
 record as a. public official, and his
 name will forever remain associated
 with the history of Oklahoma. He was
 among the first to enter that territory
 when it was opened for settlement and
 ever since that time he has been the
 first to sound it's praiss and champion
 it's causes. All Oklahoma, irrespective
 of party, acknowledge the debt or
 gratitude which they owe Dennis Flynn.
 Regret is widely felt and freely eX- pressed because his promotion to the
 United States senate is jeopardized or postponed by reason of the failure Of the omnibus statehood bill. Oklahoma, however, cannot much longed be denied admission to the Union, and an oppor- tunity will then come to his many friends to present MT. Hymns claims for the reward which he so well de- serves. He is young yet-no much over 40 years of age-and there will not be many more gray hairs in his head when the time rolls around for the election o1 two United States senators at Guthrie Without any doubt Flynn and his friends will then be on hand, and when the vote is cast his name will be up among the first.
 The position of a territorial delegate is usually unimportant and without in- fiuence: but in the four terms during which MT. Flynn served in that capac- | ity, he eXerted an influence which sur passed that of many senators. He has been considered as an authority on all questions relating to the territories and public lands and Indian affairs, and | has been recognized generally as one 1 of the strong public men of the country | west of the Missouri river. He has per haps been instrumental in opening up more valuable government land for set ] clement than any other man in recent years The interest in MT. Flynn is, | therefore, not confined to Oklahoma.
 It extends throughout the entire South western part of the country.-kansas | City Journal.

Where the Money Goes.

In view of the fact that the appro- priations made by the Fifty-seventh congress were the largest in the history of the government, the paper submit ted in the closing hours of the session mittee on appropriations and printed In the Congressioal Record of March 5, is very interesting.
 As pointed out by Chairman Cannon, the tables submitted with his remarks show that the regular bills for the an nual support of the government ap- propriated in the aggregate for the
