FRUIT STANDS MAY
 OPEN ON SUNDAY City Council of Selma Vote on
 Ordinance CONTRACT IS RATIFIED City Secures Reduction of About $500 Per Year In Cost of Lighting
 Streets on Five-Year
 Contract.

Selma. June 13.--(Special.) )-At the meet ing of the city council Monday night an ordinance permitting fruit stands to re- main open on Sunday was laid on the table by a tie vote, the president of the council voting in favor of tabling the measure. Two members of the council were absent last night and an effort is to be made at the next meeting to bring the matter up again. There Is consider the citizens as it is looked upon as an entering wedge into the Sabbath observ- ance law. which has been giving such satisfaction for number of years.
 Another important measure to receive action last night after considerable de- bate was- the ratifying of a hve-year contract with the Selma Lighting com pany for lighting the city. The present contract with the company expires on October l. The city has been paying S90 per year per light, but by dint of persua- sion the company was induced to agree to contract for s75 per year reduction of $15 per light and an annual saving of about $150O per annum. Consumers get a reduction of an additional per cent dis count and lamps are sold at a greatly reduced rate. There was an effort made to postpone ratification of the contract un- til the next meeting, but by vote of 5 to 3, the council immediately ratified the contract There are rumors of s90,00O hay ing been raised toward forming a com pany capitalized at $1000O0 to put up a rival electric light plant in this city. The contract with the old company, how ever, is lower than many cities pay and is considered as low as could be secured from any company.

FOR BETTER WHEAT.

If the man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before is a benefactor, and he surely is, the man who improves the quality of wheat is also a benefactor At Pullman, in the State of Washington, there is, in con- naction with the State agricultural col lege, an experiment farm where are now growing more than one thousand different kinds of grain that are to be separately cut, threshed, assorted and bagged this season. Many of these are hybrid varieties of wheat, crossed four teen years ago by Professor Spillman, now in the service of the United States government. The tracts sown to the several kinds vary from one to five acres in extent. In the interven- ing years vhese several varieties have been carefully sowed, the best seed se- lected and sown again, until properly established. This season is the first in which any large amount of seed has been secured, which will be threshed and distributed to farmers who desire to test the new kinds. It will be sold at a good price to cover the large ex- pense involved in the long culture The new varieties are not yet named, but will be before distribution. Some com bine early maturity with hardness, or good milling qualities, and each has some definite quality or qualities that are reckoned desirable.
 With MT. Burbank and others at work we shall by and by have something worth having.

slon In Committee cannot fail to be dis appointing to Argentina. It was natural Tor that country to expect that her south and Central American neighbors would make common cause with her Tn Encouragement of such an inter- pretation of the Monroe Doctrine as would permit the representation of customs receipts for the payment of oeots due foreign creditors, and it would not be unnatural for her to re- sent the exercise of our influence in IaVor of such an interpretation. How ever, such resentment, if felt, is not likely to find an open expression in view of the fact that the other na- tlons represented on the commettee voted with our delegates.
 As to the action of the Hague Court when the matter is presented to it at It's forthcoming meeting, it is not like ly that the Drago doctrine will receive any such formal indorsement as would serve to give 1t status in international law. The court will be dominated by the nations most likely to be affected by the failure of @ South American State to meet it international obliga- tions and they would naturally be aVerse to foregoing the one method left to them under the Monroe Doctrine of securing redress from countries which, like Venezuela, have shown themselves none too punctilious as regards the ob- servance of official contracts It may be that some understanding will be reached at The Hague whereby the moral oyerlordship of the United States in this hemisphere will be tacitly ac-
 noWledged in return for some in- timation from us that if Europe con- tinues to respect the Monroe Doctrine we will aid European Powers in secur- ing respect for international obliga- tions on the part of the Western re- publics But the outlook cannot be said to be encouraging for an agreement on the part of Europe to leave the fulfil ment of contracts entirely to public or official conscience in the case of such countries as Venezuela or Santo Dom ingo.-From the Providence Tribune.

mmHERE IS YOU9,,

The doubt as to who's who and whats what grows. Henry Watterson is convinced that nothing can now pre- vent the nomination of Colonel Bryan in 1908. "We accept him heartily" he says in his paper i've shall work for his election unceasingly, and we want to see him elected" Yet only few days ago the distinguished editor told the public that Brother Bryan could not promulgate the revolutionary programme of government ownership of the railroads without advertising to the country that he is in "a hopeless state of mental obfuscation.

SUN FLowER sTATE v1Np1cArEn.

SUN FLOWER STATE HANDICAPPED.
 The Kansas City (Kan.) Sanitary Department in deciding officially that the sunflower is not a weed, has acted with either patriotism that is to be specially commended or with that rare discretion which is ever the bet ter part of valor. Possibly 1t is a mix ture of both, for which We are too charatable to ascribe anw motive less exalted than State pride, we cannot believe that to decide otherwise in any loyal Kansas community would have been healthy, even for a Health Department,
 But whatever the motive, the de- elslon rescues the proud emblem of a great States fro q threatened ig- nominy whose depths cannot be fathomed. Any loyal Kansan will trembe at the very thought of de- claring his beloved flower a mere weed, to be trodden under foot as of no worth or moved down in great swaths as a pest by the sordid min ions of a municipality. Sooner would Kansan permit the eagle to be called a bird of prey of Funston no modern Horatius. Sooner would he deny that Stubbs is latter day Diogenes searching if peradyenture he may find an honest man. Sooner would he say that Mrs. Nation posed for the figure on the silver dollar Sooner
 But why daily with parallels or play the footpad to the treasures of history? The suuflower has been sung in the halls of poesy and told around the campfires of story, It is the symbol of fidelity, the fairest flower that grows in the garden of the world, to Kansan. It turns to it's god when he sets the same look that it turned when he rose" Oothers may think that its stalks lack sym metry and its its blossoms the swee savor of perfume. Others may think that it's petals might be abbreviated to advantage and its color improved. But to the Kansan it stands for a thousand things. It means- Kansas! If he sees 1t in his exile he smiles though tears perhaps not the outward drops of senti- ment that the unfeeling would call mau dlin, but the wistful soul-tears of mem ory, If he sees it proudly growing on itas native health--wel, he gets after any old Health Deparement that ever thought for a single minute of calling it weed A weedI The very idea! A sunfower a weed! A Kansas sunhower? Kansas City Journal.

4 FIHURE.

It is interesting and encouraging to notice that, according to the recent re- port submitted by Consul General James L. Rodgers, who is located at Shanghai, China, the boycott on Amer ican goods attempted by the Chinese has been very much of a failure. The report states that the fact that the total value of the imports from the United States in 1905 was nearly two and one-half times larger than those of 1904, the previous year, while the exports were slightly less, demonstrates plainly that the crusade against Amer ican products could not have made headway before such an avalanche of goods from this country. The importa- tion of cotton goods, also, has increased marvelously, the total value reaching the enormous sum of $1S2,OOO,0OO during last year.
 So the Chinese have discovered that they can't afford to boycott themselves. In the matter of such staples as cotton goods, kerosene and breadstuffs, Amer ica is the cheapest market in the world, and those people who refuse to buy such goods of us are more foolish than the Chinese have usually been credited with being.

SCHOOL TEACHERS AND MAR
 RACE.

The Springfield Union, discussing the Boston school board policy of consider ing the marriage of woman teacher the equivalent of her resignation ad- vances the argument that by every law of fairness the women who sup port themselves are entitled to the teaching positions" That Is rather new claim, but if it applies to teach ing positions, why should 1t not apply to other positions in the earning world as well and be established as a busi- ness principle that the unmarried woman should always have the prefer ence regardless of ability and fitness? But there seems to be particular ob- jectfon to this principle in the matter of the schools, wehere teaching posi- tions are created and maintained not off the purpose of providing certain women with a means of support, but for the purpose of educating the chill dren, and if best results for the children are to be obtained under the instruc- ton or q certain teacher, It uoeS H0l seem that the mere fact that she has secured relief from the burden of self support ought to disquallfy her as q teacher. We are agreed with The Union that the ideal places woman in the home and coneeives the woman exerting her highest and best influence by strict attention to the duties of the home, but the ideal has not as yet been reached and many married woman still appears to find mission outside of the home circle, and there is no reason why she should not teach, if fitted for that, as well as by working in some other line if her ability lies in that direction.-Fro the Haverhill Gazette.

The Paaslng Throng.

There's a story in each of the faces You see in the passing throng, But it's only the same old story The struggle of right with wrong; The battle of hate and duty; The strife between love and fear; It's only the same old story, With a chapter for every year. The hope that is turning to sadness, The courage beset by pain; The moment of transient gladness That shines like the sun through rain The tale may be told but simply For it isn't so much to tell, It's only the same old story That this old world knows so well!
