EACOURIG4AG


 New York city isn't yet ready to go quite as far as Chicago seems to be in diminishing noise, death and destruc- ton on the Fourth of July. but an at tempt is to be made to do something. Permits are to be issued to dealers and investigation of their responsibility is to be made by fremen before the per- mits are granted. There can be only one place for sale in any single block, the building must be substantial and kept free from all combustibles, neither ci- gars nor cigarettes can be sold on the premises, the entire amount of the stock held must not exceed $500 in val ue. the sale of toy pistols is forbidden. also giant" torpedoes and firecrackers over seven inches in length. At least six pails of water must be kept on the premises.
 We do not believe that patriotism will suffer from efforts to make the Glorious Fourth less deadly and devas- tating, and there are many who would suffer who will be spared if those eff forts are successful. It is to be hoped that those made this year will be, that there will be more made next year, and so on until a Fourth of July celebration will not be celebrated for noise, Chinese stinkpots and what are euphoniously called casualties"

ONE < ENsIBLE MAN.

In these days of confusion and creature complaint it is refreshing to find that here and there is human being who thinks straight and talks straight. Usually, we are bound to say, the human beings who think and talk straight are woman beings, but semi-occasionally sensible man makes an appearance, like comet in the startled heavens. Such one has just shone in Kansas, at Clay Center. It was before a woman's club. How he got invited to that presence, and es- pecially how he got invited to speak there concerning sThe Club Woman's Husband" is not explained. Perhaps his wife knew his worth, and skillfully got the opportunity for him, as many Ia smart woman has given her hus- band a chance to shine. Be this as it may, he was there and spoke. And some of his words were so ftly spoken that they were like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Especially golden were these words: T would rather be a club womans husband than no hus- band at all"
 This is right down hard sense. It is also graceful acceptance of a condi- tion which is likely to confront any man who is or may be married It is certainly better to be club woman's husband than no husband at all What is man who is not a husband?

The difference between race-track bet ting and pool-room betting is well set forth by Captain Norton Goddard. He points out that the man who goes to a race track to gamble is presumably a
 man of leisure. and therefore possessed os means which he can afford to lose
 The bedrooms, on the other hand, are an invasion of neighborhoods in which wage workers, salaried men and boys are tempted. The clerk, the laborer or the office boy who cannot find time to go to race track can spare d few minutes to place bet on the horses in a poolrooin. That tends to destroy char acter and take away the incentive to individual effort by holding out a con- stant hope of making money without work. In fact Captain Goddard says it causes more suffering, Restitution, demoralization and dishonesty than any other single influence in a great city.

Kansas, the other day in the room where the grand jury was taking testimony with respect to violations Of the prohibitory law one witness testified to drinking at pretty much all of the joints in and around lola.

An English vicar writes in his parish magazine: "The present fashion of la dies hats. as regards circumference. renders it somewhat difficult to admin ister the chalice to them in holy com munion. The head is bent low, and thus the whole face being hidden by the hat it is beyond the power of pos sibility for the priest to know whether the sacred element is received or not" !"

o. B. Martin, South Carolina's State superintendent of education, has just had a chance to learn something. He ventured to say that in old times when a Carolinian was convicted of horse stealing they used to sentence him to teach school for three years. At least one South Carolina editor called upon MT. Martin for specific information as to when that was the law. A perturb- ed citizen, who is afraid the Yankees will accept MT. Martins statement as true history has asked the Columbia State to contradict it. Yankees are not Englishmen,' that esteemed con- temporary remarks reassuringly. As a rule their sense of humor, though of a different sort, is as keen as that of the southerners-in this case we would be surprised if it were not keener than that of some southerners. We refuse to roast MT. Martin. His humor is as good as his patriotism and his patriot ism is much better than some other folks humor. But we do wish to warn MT. Martin. Humor is a dangerous thing for politician, and wit is more dangerous still"

One of the queerest corners or the earth is Chatham Island, off the coast of Ecuador. Captain Reinman, who recently visited it to inquire into the proper grounding of a deep-sea cable, says that it abounds in cats, every one of which is black. These animals live in the crevices of the lava foundation near the coast, and subsist by catch ing fish and crabs instead of rats and mice.

The country hen foremost of all deserves

an egg which has not been beaten in

The city hen also is to be spoken of in

LONG DISTANCE
POWER FOR WICHITA
1Cohunaed from Seventh Page

produce the same power with coal at the
present market prices of that commodity.
1t is not intended. of course. that these
figures are TO be taken as exact, but as
a fair approximate cost OF the 1onstruc-
ton Of the entire plant and the cost
per horse power.
When il is considered that the other
method of piping the gas from the foun-
tain head will entail ar expenditure Of
about one rofJior dollars, originally to
install. and in addition to this a heavy
expense for actual running purposes. the
plan as presented is certainly worth q
thorough investigation.
1t is perhaps interesting at this time
to give an idea OF the distance and ac-
tual mileage of other plants now in
operation. The great Niagara water
plant, which is about the same distance.
is located over forty miles from Buffalo,
where the power is used.
The City of Mexico is supplied with
power from Necasca Falls. a distance Of
piled from Canyon ferry seventy miles
distant, and the Bay County Transmits
sion Co, transmits power a distance of %
miles.
In all there are about thirty different
companies, in this country transmitting
power for greater or less distances for
manufacturing purposes. etc. Many Of
them have much greater mileage than
the distance from the gas fields TO
Wichita and the success in varying de-
grees of the plants already installed would
seem to insure success for one locally
if properly constructed.
None of the inconvenience that made
the Niagara plant so expensive are to
be contended with here. The gas is
certainty: it is ready to be harnessed. The
cost of transmission wires will be no
more than the cost of constructing tele-
phone service over the same distance, and
the maintenance of such plant would be
about the same as any electric plant of
similar magnitude.
The Commercial club has been work
ing for some time on a proposition to Sc
cure for Wichita cheap gas. heat and
fuel. With the system as fostered by
Mr. Lands the city will have nearly
all the advantages of the actual gas IL
IL was flowing here and ii is up to some
of the interested capitalists of the city
to look into the matter.
Mr.. Lands. a thorough electrician. has
had experience in electrical construction
work and evidently is certain Of his
ground A natural modesty prevents his
exploiting the idea himself. but for the
good of Wichita and her varied industries.
he hopes that the proper spirit will be dis
played in the matter and an investiga-
ton of the idea made that will be con-
sistent with its worth
By displaying the proper spirit of pro-
gressiveness il may be possible for
Wichita to have in the near future
system of light heat and power that will
be so far superior to existing conditions
at so much less cost as TO be an innova-
ton to the commercial interests Of the
