"Over the Hills to the Poor House,

'OVer the fliIiS 10 Inc PO0r rouse
The Kansas City Star is making
fight for the worthy object of
lifting to higher plane the insti-
tuition commonly known as the
poor-house. This is a subject
that the average person does not
care to think about, and the. very
thoughts of ever being compelled
to become an inmate makes one
shudder. Why is it that you and
| would almost rather be in our
graves that an inmate of q poor
house? Is it not from the feeling
that is general that to be sent TO
the poor-house is to be utterly
disgraced. And is not the attitude
of the public toward these unfor-
Inmates largely responsible for
this impression?
We look upon the poor and
homeless with feeling aversion
as much as to say well, if you
had amounted to anything in your
younger days you would have
saved up something for your old
age. But since you didn't and
for fear that it might look bad for
us to let you starve to death. we
will take you in, but we dislike
very much to do it,"
1t is possibly true that some of
these people are responsible fer
their condition, but, on the other
hand, there are doubtless others
who are drinking the dregs OF
poverty through no fault of their
own. The fact that they have
been compelled to call upon the
mercy of the public is humil-
iating enough, without being re-
minded of that fact every time
they turn around.
The idea which the Star advo-
Gates, as we understand it. is to
conduct the county home on the
same plan and in the same spirit
that the government provides the
home for the old soldiers. That
is, instead of looking upon II es all
unpleasant duty grudgingly per
formed, accept it as a gracious
privilege of prosperous and mag.
unanimous people to provide com.
Portable home for the unfortunate
If such a change could be
brought about ''over the hills tt
the poor house" would be relieved
of at least part of its tragedy.

Following The Flag

When our soldiers went to Cuba and

important consideration. Willis Il Nor

says: 81 was two years in Cuba and two
years in the Philippines, and being sub
ject to colds, took DR. King S New Dis
covery for consumption, which kept me
in perfect health. And now, in New
Hampshire, we find it the best medicine
in the world for coughs, colds, bronchial
troubles and all lung diseases. Guaran-

Speaker Cannon's utterances 10 Pear
sons which we reproduced yesterday,
are meant to be healthily optimistic,
and contain much truth and good sense
But they are too sweeping and may fail
of their purpose. The speaker did not
distribute his emphasis properly and
omitted number of necessary butts
and ifs and vets. There is little dis
content in the country, he says.
Well, the grafters and the lawbreakers
and the unserupulous schemers in poll
tics and finance have found a good deal
of unrest. The speaker thinks be
could put all the kickers into one small,
room. He has not examined the cleo.
ton figures showing the growth of the
Socialist vote. He talks about efforts
'.to discredit the country" But no
sane man is making such efforts. Eff
orts to reform and improve are not eff
forts to dscredit.
The speaker admits toward the end
that we have "troubles" to attend to,
and that the kckers have their mis-.
sion in society. He is certain that .'ev-
cry existing evil will be remedied, land
this is true optimism. But the spirit
OF many unguarded expressions in the
interview is inconsistent with these ado
missions, and the matter would have
been more infectious and convincing
had the proper number Of butts been in
serted in the proper places.

Heney spoke for only an hour and
half, but during that time outlined
clearly and definitely the alleged whole
sale fraud, which the government
charges the defendants and others plan
ned to make it the victim of; an at.
tempt which if the government is right,

ascent and balloons are continually COM
ing down unexpectedly upon ones roof

farmers Of Westchester or the Jersey
counties near New York, they have ceas-
ed to be astonished when a gentleman
swoops down on them out Of the sky
and, stepping out OF his aerial car, po-
litely asks for glass OF milk. The
tragic death Of Paul Nocquest, the
prominent sculptor and balIoonist, early
in the season. apparently did not damp
in the slightest degree the local mem
bers Of the Aero Club and followers Of
the sport generally. Not few women
In the city are now expert balIoonists.
The only persons who have abandoned
the spot in the metropolis are few
professional aeronauts who came to the
city hoping to make fortune By
charging admission to the enclosures
where they made their ascents. Inas-
much as the crowds stayed outside of
the fence and saw the ascensions free
Of charge, the professionals found that
their proposed harvest of dollars failed.

excellent effect in strengthening public
confidence and oyerawing sympathizers
with the movement.

than 1000 insurgents there are tending

the insurgents have not assumed an

not prepared or lack the nerve. There
have been rumors Of fights in Pinar del
