The Gold Standard.

We know what we mean when we sneak
Of an honest and stable currency. we
mean the same thing from year to year.
We do not have TO avoid a definite and
conclusive committal on the most irn-
portant issue which has recently been be-
fore the people, and which may at any
time tn the near future be before them
again. Upon the principles which nnderlie
this issue the convictions of half of our
number do not clash with those OF the
other half. SO long as the Republican
party is in power the gold standard is
settled, not as a matter of temporary po-
litical expediency, not because Of shifting
conditions IN the production of gold IN
certain mining eenters but IN accordance
with what we regard as the fundamental
principles OF national morality and wis
dom.
We have enacted tariff law under
which during the past few years the colfn-
try has attained height Of material well
being never before reached. Wages are
higher than ever before That whenever
the need arises there should be readjust-
ment Of the tariff schedules is undoubted.
but such changes can with safety be
made only by those whose devotion to the
principle Of a protective tariff Is beyond
question, for otherwise the changes would
amount not to readjustment, but to re-
peal
The readjustment when made must
maintain and not destroy the protective
principle. To the farmer, the merchant.
the manufacturer this is vital but per-
haps NO other man Is SO much interested
as the wageworker in the maintenance
Of our present economic system, both as
regards the finances and the tariff. The
standard Of living Of our wageworkers Is
higher than that Of any other country.

KANSAS PHILOSOPHY.

An awkward man In society is

There is no one so hopeless as those
who do not make mistakes.
The only case of overwork we know
of, though many claim it, is that of
the growler.
A man can get sick now almost as

her CUP. She wore my roses in the
4 belt of her white gown and in her
bronze hair. For some time had
not dared to approach Florine with
out being fortified with disagreeable
speeches. Otherwise I should have been
guilty Of proposing to her. Considering
that her monthly income was quite
equal 10 my annual one. proposal or
marriage from me would have been
palpably absurd. sighed, and my sigh
aroused Florine.
''Oh, I'm glad it's you," she said
brightly. II saw a visitor in my tea
cup"
frowned and took q chair on the
other side of the table.
Il wish you wouldn't" said
wouldn't what7 Give you a cup OF

Her tone was bantering. but her eyes
had a hint Of concern in their violet
depths. looked away as answered:
The other night at Pit you turned
your chair around three times, and then
when you lost you attributed it to the
misplscing of your rabbit foot"
II did make a mistake she said
gravely. TT wasn't the rabbit foot-it
was the day. Wednesday is my un-
lucky day"
IF you keep on folks VIII think you
are weak-minded," 1 continued. keeping
my gaze carefully from the dangerous
charm of her face. II have actually
heard it said that you wear an amulet"
Florine was silent so long that / was
compelled to glance at her She was re-
garding me with what might be termed
a complex look. Her mouth was dim
pied with smiles, her lifted brows were
derisive, but her eyes were troubled. l
ignored the eyes.
This superstition business detracts
from your real WORTH" I went on re-
lentlessly. "It is the flaw in the dia-
mond, the blight in the rose, the-the-"
Fly In the ointment?" she suggested
politely.
ITO have It told around that you wear
an amuletI" I reiterated IN fine scorn.
Then Florine laughed When Florine
laughs
You poor old dearl" she exclaimed
as soon as she was able. II don't be-
lieve you have the ghost of an idea
what an amulet isl"
I was solid on that score, for I had
just learned the definition from the
Standard Dictionary.
" An object, usually peculiar bit OF
stone, metal, bone, paper, wood or the
like, worn by superstitious people as a
protection against witchcraft, bad luck,
disease, accidents, etc. A charm"
"Oh. don't" she choked. You are too
absurd" Then she went off into an
other gale of laughter.
"I don't see where the absurdity
comes in," 1 retorted. IF that isn't an
amulet, then what is it?"
1 supped my tea with dignity while
FlOrine recovered herself.
II knew a girl once who wore an
amulet" she said at last. 1T was the
well-the picture of somebody she

Picture-ahl To be sure, 1 wasn't an
Adonis, neither was l afraid of break
ing the camera, but for one reason or
another l had faced a photographer.
Picture, was It? Was she the girl,
wondered.
TT wasn't bone. metal, stone, paper
nor wood" she went on. And she
didn't wear 1t as a protection against
anything. She just wore 1t because she
liked it-because she liked the man
whose picture was in 1t"
1T wasn't an amulet, then" I said,
setting down my cup.
