SUNDAY CLOSING.

| Governor Folk seems to be determined
! to have the police commissioners in the
large cities enforce the Sunday closing
laws, and III this the governor has the
backing OF every good and law-abiding
citizen in the state.
The saloonkeepers in the cities have no
more right to open their saloons and sell
intoxicants on Sunday than those in the
country towns and they should be made
to comply with the law or be run out Of
business. The old cry of 'personal iber-
ty and blue laws" that we hear of and see
III some of the ''wide open" papers has
become threadbare and is enough to
make all sober people tired.
Some of the vide open fellows in the
cities say the democratic party Will be
defeated in the state by 100000 ma aiority
at the next election because Gov. Folk
has instructed his appointees to enforce
the Sunday closing laws. If the demo-
cratic party is to exist by the nom
enforcement of the states laws, then it
makes no difference if it does go out of
business.
The democratic party made our Sunday
laws and the democratic party, to be hon
est with itself, should see that the laws
are enforced or repealed.
The desecration OF the Sabbath as now
carried on in many places is alarming,
and BODIES no good to the future OF our
country, and We say Governor Folk
should and will have the support of every
good citizen in his effort to enforce these
laws. Let the "w1de openers make an
issue of Sunday closing in the next cam
paign, if they viii, and then thy will see
how the country people feel about it.
There is not a decent, law-abiding citi-
zen in the state that would make a cam
paign for state office on an issue
favoring "wide open" Sunday. ii there
was one he would be buried under an
avalanche Of ballots. We are for q decent
Sabbath first, last and all the time.

The Morton Case.

The cat is out of the bag at last and the
people have discovered why the report OF
Messrs. Harmon and Judsou on the Santa
Fe railroad rebate investigation was so
cnddenly squelched by the administra-
tion at Washington.
The report showed conclusively that
Paul Morton, in his capacity as railroad
official, violated the law and the injunc-
tion of the United States courts in grant
ing rebates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, in which he was also heavy
StockhOlder.
The fact that his offense was not dis
covered until after he had become u men,
ber of the presidents cabinet should not
have protected him from the consequen-
ceS of his act. The fact that the evidence
was kept secret, and the investigation
nullified by the direct Intervention of
President Roosevelt does not accord with
the claim that the president plays no
favorites in his enforcement Of the law.
In this case it must be admitted that
Secretary Morton was protected. 1t is
true that his resignation from the cabinet
followed later, but this only partially
served the purpose.
The incident establishes the fact that
President Roosevelt has in this instance
failed to make good on one Of the cardinal
points Of his political religion. When he
discovered that Secretary Morton had
been guilty of violating the law which
the government was endeavoring to en-
force, Mr.. Morton should have received
the same treatment that would have been
accorded him had he not been a member
OF the presidents cabinet. The people
had right to know the facts and they
should have been made public at the time.
If Secretary Morton's resignation was
demanded as a result Of his violation of
the law, the reasons for such action
should not have been retained as an ex-
ecutiye Secret.-kansSa CITY World,

More About the Silk Industry.

The department Of agriculture of
the United States send out a circu-
lar of information in regard to the
work in silk culture. This circu-
lar gives minute description ofthc
life of the silk worm, that is, the
manner by which they are hatched.
how they are fed by mulberry OF
hedse-leaves, how spinning huts are
prepared in which these worms spin
and how the worm after spinning
metamorphoses into Il chrysahs and
then into a moth, which lays the
egg.
The egg is very small. About
10000 or $4,000 eggs weigh al
ounce. They are hatched by ex
! posing them to the air on a broad
i'at tray covered with paper. A
soon as the worm is hatched il
must be fet, on mulberry or hedge

The Democracy of Death.

Here is q gem from the funeral
oraticn delivered by, John j.
ingalls,, at the grave Of friend:
"In the demo cracy Of death all
men are at least equal. There is
neither rank nor prerogative in the
rebublic of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to
be wise, and the songs of the poet
are silent, Dives relinquishes his
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as ricn as the richest,
and the rich man Is as poor as the
paupcr. The creditor loses his usury
aud the debtor is acquitted of his
obligation. There the proud man
surrenders his dignity, the politician
his honors, the worldiing his pleas
ures; the invalid needs no physician
and the laborer rests from his un-
requitcd toll. Here at least, is ma
ture's final equity. The wrongs of
time are redressed, injustice is ex-
planned and the irony OF fate is re-
futed; and the unequal distribution
of honors, wealth, capacity, pleas
ure and opportunity, which makes
life such an inexplicable tragedy,
passes in the realm of death. The
strongest there have no supremacy
and the weakest needs no defense.
The mighty captain succumbs to the
invincIble adversary, who disarms
alike the victor and the van

From State SHpt. Darlington.

The amount Of state school mon
eys to be apportioned in July will
be about $4,000 more than last
year. The per capita will be about
Sl.35 this year.
1t is encouraging TO note that
most cities, towns and school dis
tricts are employing teachers at
increased salaries.
Kentucky is agitating the qucs-
ton of establishing a system of
state normal schools. State Super
intcndent Darlington recently at
tended the Kentucky State Teach
ers' Association and explained to
them the Missouri system than
which he thinks there is none better
The state department Of educa-
ton will shortly revise the state
course of study. The cid course
was based on the adopted books.
Since there Will not be state uni
formity Of text books, the course
of study viii be arranged so as to
adjust itself to any good texts.
In the recent examinations held
by the state superintendent, 55 DIFF
ferent persons wrote. There We're
269 papers. About half Of these
were graded above passing. AS u
result, eleven certificates were issued
Many did not attempt to finish the
examination.
We may expect much larger at
tendance on the high schools the
| coming year. The number of pu-
pills graduating from the grades is
fifty per cent larger than last year.
The best test of the efficiency of
any school is the percentage of
its graduates entering schools of
higher grade.

Miudiup His Own Business.

Perhaps we are approaching 4
point where it Will be adjudged that
the typical good business man who
"minds his own business" has no
business to have any to mind.
1t has been pointed out often
enough. for example, that British
cities have honest and efficient local
government largely because their
ablest men of affairs freely give their
time and talents to the business of
the city. AS they look at it, the
business Of the community in which
they live is their business, so they
are not blackmailcd by boodlers nor
robbed by private gas monopolies.
The whole business of life insur-
ance is suffering because a scandal
has developed i'll one of the com
panies. Now that the house is afire
the neighbor companies are taking
the livcliest interest in the matter
AN interest which becomes poig-
nant as their own roofs begin to
smoke. But it is doubtful if they
would have favored the strictel
supervision that might have prevent
ed the scandal ifthe proposition had
been made before the alarm sounded
Probably they would have preferred
to mind their own business.
In number of states the law i'm
noses no restrictions whatever upor
any gentlemen VINO may elect to cal
themselves bank and invite de
posts. Naturally, there are exceed
ingly scanda!ous bank failures from
time to time. But it is not often tina
the real bankers especially exer
themselves to secure such ampl'
