THE TRUTH ABOUT KANSAS.

OF the 1O5 counties in Kansas, S5
are without a pauper, % have no
poorhouses, and 81 have not had a
criminal case on the docket. In Kan
sas, women have had full municipal
suffrage since 1887.
If during these is years women had
neglected their homes for politics as
the opponents of equal rights proph-
esy that they WILL half the men in
Kansas would have been brought to
the poorhouses by lack of thrift and
domestic industry on the part of their
wives, and the rising generation would
have gone astray and filled the pris-
ons to overflowing, for want of
motherly care.
Just the opposite has happened.
This is another illustration of the fact
that 1T is idle to argue from proph-
esy when we can argue from his
tory"
When a bill was introduced year
or two ago to take municipal suffrage
away from the women of Kansas, no
wonder it was voted down unanimous
ly, and "amid a ripple of amusement"

THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING.

A heartless country exchange says:
City papers have begun to treat the
suffering public to pictures of all
those who are to take any part what
ever in the obsequies Cor rather the
ceremony which will settle the fate
of the presidents daughter and Con-
gresham Longworth. None of the
Roosevelt family are hurt with good
looks but in America we don't travel
on looks and so have no objection to
that part of it, The first of the series
is likeness Of Alice's younger sister
who will he maid of honor, and
the series will probably remind us OF
the story of the wild man of Borneo
the last of which will be the flea on
the hair of the tail of the dog which
fought with the cat for the bone
which was a remnant of the wedding

GIVE HIM \ LIFT.

Give him a lift! Don't kneel in
prayer.
Nor moralize with his despair.
The man is down, and his great need
Is ready help, not prayer and creed.
'Tis time when wounds are washed
and healed.
That the inward motive be revealed;
But now, whate'er the spirit be.
Mere words are but mockery.
one grain of aid just now is more
To him that tones of sanity lore.
Pray, II you must pray in your heart
But give him a lift, give him a start
The world is full of good advice,
OF prayer and praise and preaching
nice:
But the general souls who aid man.
kind
Are scarce as gold and hard to find.
Give like a Christian-speak in deeds!
\ noble life's the best of creeds;
And he shall wear a royal crown
Who gives them a lift when they are
down. Anon.

TAXES ARE UNCOLLECTED.

The failure of the taxation laws of
Oregon to provide for the payment Of
the costs in levying on personal
property for collection of taxes has
cost oregon, and is costing Oregon
today, many thousands of dollars.
Under the present law the sheriff
must pay the cost of levylng on per-
sonal property, out of his own salary,
if he levies upon this class of proper
ty, while under the same law the
owner of real estate must pay the cost
of levying upon this property for
taxes.
Should the sheriff be required to
collect from all the tax-dodgers who
take advantage of this condition of
the law, his entire salary would be
used in paying the cost of such levies.
Dozens of seemingly reputable tax
payers absolutely fail to pay their
personal tax because they know that
the sheriff cannot afford to levy upon
them and so in this way they escape
taxation altogether.
As one Illustration of the injustice
of this law. it may be cited that the
Pendleton Tribune of this city, al
though posing as friend and lover
of the taxpayer, now owes Umatilla
county 1856 back taxes for the past
five years. Should the sheriff collect
this personal tax he would be com
PEELED to pay the cost of the levy Out
of his own pocket and should be col
lect from one this way he would be
bound to collect from all, so it is ar
impossibility to collect this tax, unless
those who owe it have personal hon
esty and integrity enough to walk ur
to the counter and pay their tax as
any other taxpayer
This is an iniquitous condition and
one which works a hardship on the
honest and conscientious taxpayer
By this method many rascals are per-
mitted to conduct large enterprises
enjoy the rights, privileges and pro-
lection of the community and the
laws and at the same time contribute
absolutely nothing toward the support
OF the government.
The next legislature should remedy
this defect without fail. The delin-
quent taxes now lost to Umatilla
county from this source would pay the
salaries Of several county officiels.

UNFAIR DIVISION.

"If p house contains six bureaus / |

how many is the wife," asked the

The second clubman laughed harsh

"YOu are young and have much to

understand first as last that If there
were in your house a mile of bureaus,

SEWARD CITY SOCIETY ITEM.

\ single turn of roulette wheel last
night gave Frank Watson a fox skin
robe composed Cf 10 fox skins, and
valued at 5000. 1t is the only time
Mr.. Watson has ever been known t,
take a chance on the wheel, hut he
agreed to take several chances in II
rattle for the robe. and when it was
decided to settle the disposition of the
prize on a single turn of the wheel,
Wilson took 10 chances. The lucky
number was 5.
Thirty-eight chances at $3.50 each
netted S171 to the owner of the robe,
n. II. Hicks, who acquired it in his fur
business at Hanna. There are 36
numbers on the wheel besides the sin
gle and double 0. An interesting feat
ure of the result is that a well known
man whose lucky number is 3. offered
to take a chance until he found the 5
was sold. If that number had not al
ready gone to Watson, the man who
always plays would have won the
$500 robe on a single chance at $3.50.

WORK Is REWARDED.

Splendid is that fruition which has
come to the work of the pioneer irri-
gators, who banded themselves to-
gether less than 30 years ago, to form
a national irrigation association,
whose object should be to people and
reclaim the arid west.
The meeting of the National asso-
citation at Boise City next September
will be a love-feast of irrigators, in
truth.
Those old pioneers who foretold the
hidden wealth of the west and who
laid deep and lasting foundations to
bring it to view through irrigation of
the waste places, will behold such a
realization of their dream in Idaho,
at this coming meeting, as comes to
but few men in a lifetime.
When the National Irrigation asso-
citation was founded, Idaho was a des-
ert. excepting along a few streams.
Today it is a smiling garden spot.
Her deserts are reclaimed or are be-
ing reclaimed. Millions of govern
ment funds are being distributed
through her arid districts Happy
and contented homes have replaced
the sagebrush waste.
There is no more fitting place for
holding this convention than in Idaho
where the fullest fruition has come to
the irrigator's dream.

So serious has been the effect of
dearth of labor on the farming inter-
ests Of Virginia that the state board of
agriculture proposes to ask the legis-
lature for an appropriation of $4,000
where with to advertise for help. If
judiciously used this fund will serve
the double purpose of attracting
workers to Virginias fields and at the
same time exploiting her products in
quarters where they are not now dis
tinguished from those of other states.
The old dominion could find no bet
ter investment, provided always that
graft is eliminated. Publicity will till
her farms and dispose of the output.

Cuba is going to give Alice Roose-
welt $4,000 wedding present, says
the Washington Post. OF course
there will be objectors and the ac-
ceptance of such a gift by the presi-
dents daughter will be made the oc-
casion for some carping and envious
criticism. Nevertheless it is a very
graceful thing for the Cubans to do.
They not only owe a great deal to the
United States, but a great deal to the
president personally for his fidelity
to promises made by this country to
Cuba. The president stood for Gu
ban reciprocity against bitter opposi-
ton and largely to his influence is
due the fact that our pledges made
or implied to the commercial interests
of Cuba have been kept.

THE DEATH.

What is the Death we cannot see,
The thing that stills us, you and me?
We go, with sanctlty imbued,
Into the deep, black quletude-
And is II veal or is 1t woe?
We do not feel-we cannot know;
Only with our expiring breath,
We sense the dreaded monster,
Death.
And, oh, we wonder, wonder why
We ever lived, If but to die!
Yet we have had this recompense
The time of reason and of sense,
The time, the time in which we knew
The love sublime, the friendship, true,
And patience learned, and grace to
smile
Ere we lay down for this long while

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
