There are many men of many minds, and nowhere in this country are the many minds more alert and independ- ent than in Kansas. Kansas men form their own judgments and they are not backward about coming forward with them Judge Wofford of the criminal court in Kansas City has been studying men and things, and he has come to the conclusion that what he calls jack ass ears are a good sign. The other day he had a young man before him who pleaded guilty to forging a $40 check. And this is the way the young mans ears impressed the discerning judge. You see man with big ear like a jackass and there's some thing in him. But look out for a man with little scrooged up ears like a fox. There's nothing in that sort of man. But you, young man, have ears like a jaclxass. And I believe there's some thing in you A young man with big ears and mouth and nose like you ought to take tumble to himself and be straight. If you haven't bread go and sweep the streets or do anything before you steal. know lawyer iH this city who got down and lost his practice and he joined the city street | cleaning gang and worked at night i sweeping the streets. And now he's praeticing law again and doing well. He's a noble. honorable man. People honor him because he was honest. There's a great demand in this world for honest men in places of trust. Now I'm going to let you go. I may be wrong, but I'd rather be wrong some times than to be too hard on young fellow"
 It. has long been known that a big nose is a sign of power, and now we are told that jackass ears are indicative of good quality. It may be. The jackass isn't as foolish as he looks, and man with big ears may at least have some thing big about him.

a large settlement of aliens in Scotland Everywhere these aliens are responsible for a great deal of oyercrowding, with all it's evils. ard a displacement of British labor. Consequently. said MF. Douglas. the feeling which exists be- tween these settlements of foreigners and the native population is becoming very strained. and is very serious menace to the maintenance of law and order. The evil, he proceeded to say, is increasing. The figures show that in 1902 2eO.O11 immigrants landed in Eng land, and in 1908 there was an increase on that figure of 1000. A very large proportion of these were on their way to America; but not less than s1. 900 re- mained in 1901, and s2,OOo in 1902. A se- rious point considered was what Eng land gets consists of the class excluded by the United States. or. in other words. the refuse. Already, he said. this im- migration has been attended by a mo- ticeable increase in the number of crimes committed by foreigners.

CHEAT RRf1AfA,S ALTENS.

Some interesting facts concerning the alien population in Great Britain were given in the House of Commons by Mir. AlSers- Douglas, in introducing his bill for the restriction of undesirable i1l1- migration. He said that the number of aliens in the country has increased enormously in the last twenty years. In 1881 there were 135,o00; in 1891, 219,- GOO; and in 1901, 290,00o, without count ing the natural increase of families. Un- fortunately, he said, these aliens have a tendency to occupy very few centers, and therefore their presence creates great difficulty in certain dis tricts. Four-fifths of the whole of the foreign population in Great Britain live in four or five eenters. There are 54,000 in the borough of Stepney. There are other boroughs in London where large numbers have settled, displacing a large amount of labor, and driving out the original inhabitants. There is also

class of crimes springing largely from race prejudice and haired. These are
 lynchings and mob violence. The
 United States presents the paradox of a nation where respect for law and Con- stitutional forms has won most signal
 triunphs, yet where concerted viola
 tions Of law have betn most wide
 spread. By queer inversion of
 thought crime committed jointly by
 many is not crime but a vindication
 of just as crime e lnmitted by
 authority of nation is not a crime but la virtue. Such crimes have not been continuous, but have arisen at times lout of acute racial antagoaisms. The
 Know Nothing agitation tf 1S40 and 1 1855, which prevailed among religiuus and patriotic Americans, was directed against the newly arrived flood of inn migrants from Europe and Asisa, md
 was marked by state of lawlessness mess and mob rule such as hnd never before existed especially in the cities of

4 MISSOURI FXHfBTT.

Missouri is going to have worlds
 fair in her principal city this year, and
 some of her own most interesting pro-
 ducts will be on exhibition there. Six
 members of her house of representa-
 tives and one senator have asked for
 positions as bookmakers' clerks at the
 St. Louis fair grounds race track, and,
 being we'll fitted for the jobs, it is ex-
 pected that all will be hired All but one of the applicants are St. Louis
 statesmen. The exception is Represen-
 tative John w. Farley, of Platte coun-
 ty, one of the few counties that have
 declared for boodling by electing Reed
 delegates to the Democratic State con-
 vention. MT. Nelson, the eminent au-
 thor of a bill legalizing prize-fights, is
 the senator who would lay aside his
 toga and earn ten dollars a day writing
 down the names of gentlemen who wish
 to bet their money on horse races.
 This condition of affairs moves the Kansas City Journal to remark: These are, the sort of men whom St. Louis.
 Platte and other counties have been electing as their representatives in the legislature-men who would not only accept, but who actually seek, employ ment as the clerks of professional gam blers. There is a second lot of legisla- tors composed of lawyers without cli- ents, physicians without patients and youthful or broken-doWn men without business sufficient to maintain them. These all accept election to the legisla- ture for the five dollars day they will receive during the session, and most of them aim to form profitable relation ships with the lobby. The third group is composed of farmers and county storekeepers who commonly mean well. but whose ignorance and prejudices make them the easy prey of dema- gogues. Usually also railroad passes have all the powerful attractions of novelty for these good men. The fourth group is composed of men of both abil- ity and honesty, but so few in number that they have little influence. Is it any wonder that corruption and scan dal are forever rife in a body thus com posed?
 Poor old Missouri! Rich enough in everything but men.

Christian Science is said to be talk ing strong hold upon the English aristocrats, and London duchess is quoted as saying: Tt has improved the manners and disposition of every woman know who has gone into it, and they are all happier into the bar gain.''
 The duchess in her zeal for the new science makes a rather queer adniis- sion. She says it has improved the manners and dispositions of women. That is to say that they needed inn

Per haps the manners and dispositions of English women do need improvement, though this is hard to believe when we remember that they are the cousins of United States women. Just imagine anybody or anything improving the manners and dispositions of United States women. Could it be done?

The Army of inc Simmer.

The army of the summertime is march
 ing up the hills The van is creeping silently beside the
 waking rills. For here and there the movements of
 the couriers are seen In spreading waves of grassy spears
 that leap to living green. Away across the meadow lands the
 dandelious bold Each Haunting sauciiy his shield and
 buckler made of gold Are sprlnging into action while the in
 sect drummers beat A rally roll that sounds the charge,
 with Winter in retreat. For soon the banners of the rose will
 blaze their white and red, And orchard blooms in misty pink the
 army's tents will spread. For now all bravely in the hush of hid-
 den, messy dells. The outposts of the flower host have
 set their sentinels. The army of the summertime is march
 ing up the hills The music of the fairy horns the dis

Senator Deliver, in his speech in the Senate on the tariff and the trusts, said the Republican party inherited it's his- toric faith from our fathers and traced the line of inheritance as follows: When William Mckinley died he left it as a rich legacy to us who followed him in the great triumphs of his public life. It was not discovery of his. He got it from Abraham Lincoln, who got it from Henry Clay. who got it from Alexander Hamilton. who got it from Benjamin Franklin; so that our title is clear, our abstract perfect, without lien or encumbrance. running straight back to the original sources of American common sense.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi has been to St. Louis. and he says con- corning the fair: The immensity of the enterprise actually tries the mind to contemplate. It so far exceeded any thing that I had ever dreamed of that to me it was matter of great interest. I think, however, the beneficial results to the various States that make exhib- it's will not be commensurate with the cost. It will afford good, fat places for a great many people, and will be most interesting to look upon, but I do not expect any great practical benefits.

Mir. and Mrs. F. M. Smith of Califor- mia have presented to Mills college, an institution for the education of women at Oakland a bell tower built after the old Spanish models used at the Cali fornia missions. David Hewes has given the chimes of bells for "El Cam panil.'' as the tower is to be called, that was used at the Chicago exposi- tion and at the Midwinter fair at San Francisco in 1894. .'El CampaniP' is seventy-four feet in height, and is built on a solid foundation of concrete. A balcony surrounds the four walls near the base. All the woodwork is in rustic finish, huge tinbers supporting the awning over the door. The tower is set at the edge of a grove of trees and faces the main college building from across a broad expanse of lawn.
