.ExCEPT IN KANSAS"

Kansas finds it somewhat difficult to
please the rest of the country as
whole. A few months ago she held a
LIBERATION commemorative of John
Browns eventful life in Kansas. and
all over the south. Kansas was criticised
for honoring a traitor" Now the
lower house of the Kansas legislature
has turned down Senator Waggener's
proposition for a $4,000 appropriation
to put John Browns statue in the Hall
of Fame, and this time the criticism
comes from the north. Kansas, how
ever. has a faculty of trying to please
herself-it is somewhat difficult to do
even that-and if the rest of the coun-
try is displeased, Kansas notes it in a
sorry-but-it-can't-be helped tone of
voice, and goes on the more or less
even tenor of her way.
The Chicago Evening Post is the
latest to comment on Kansas attitude
towards the old martyr OF Harper's
Ferry. 1t says:
"Shun Kansas all We who are re-
solved to be heroes. The corn crop
fiourishes these rainy years, but there
is a perennial drought so far as
heroisn is concerned. 1t may be that
Kansas overexerted itself in lauding
General Funston and is now Su1erlng
from mental. physical and financial
lameness, but whether or no this is
the cause it is certain that heroism is
far below par in Kansas.
Long. long ago when we were a
much simpler people than we are to-
| day, there lived in Kansas a certain
man since known to history as Osa-
watomie Brown. He was long on
heart, was Osawatomie. though per-
haps a bit short on culture, and after
an exciting career on the border he
| organized that band of kindred brave
if misguided men who started out to
free the slaves. and achieved fame, ii
not success, at Harper's Ferry.
There was a certain delightful in
consequence and rashness about
Brown which might be expected to en-.
dear him to the typical westerner. But
| such is not the case. for the Kansas
Legislature has killed an appropriation
| of $4,000 providing for a statue of the
grizzled old border fighter in the Hal
OF Fame at Washington The reason
is not clear at this distance; perhap.
Kansas does not regard Osawatomie a.
i a hero; perhaps it thinks it extray

HOMER HoCH's BROCHURE.

Governor Hoch stands in danger or
eclipse as a word painter. 1t will re-
quire an unusual degree of brilliance
to accomplish such an eclipse. as every
Kansas audience that ever heard the
governor knows; but Hoch the elder
Is In danger of being surpassed by
Hoch the younger
One of the fastest brochures ever
issued from a Kansas press is one that
comes from the Marion Record, bear
ing the title, 1.-The Jewelled Year" 1t
contains four editorials by Homer
Hoch, each recalling a season. Me-
mortal Day, Independence Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day
are each the subject of a brief but
striking essay, representing respec-
lively Spring, Summer. Autumn ana
Winter The arrangement and make
up of the little brochure are worthy
the genius of F. d. Coburn or Ralph
Brigham, both of whom are connois-
seurs of such matters.
But it is the text that really counts.
Governor Hoch is famous for his
rhetorical flights, but he can not sur
pass his con in that respect The
Younger Hoch is certainly chip off
of the old block when it comes to
sublinity of expression and nobility OF
thought. The editorial on Christmas
Day was reproduced in these columns
on last Christmas. All four Of the lit
tie essays are worthy of preservation
among the best of Kansas literature.
And this is no hot air compliment.

JACOB
tage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink,
and rose up and went his way; thus Esau
despised his birthright.-Genesis 1874,
Tomorrow millions of people in the
Sunday schools all over the world will
study the old lesson of Jacob and Esau
how Jacob with his mothers assist
ance, resorted to fraud and deceit to
secure the paternal blessing that right
fully belonged to his brother-and
that, too, after he had already driven
a sharp bargain with Esau and had
taken his birthright from him.
1t really looks as though Esau is en-
titled to considerable sympathy. jacob
in his younger days was certainly
schemer and a trickster. He was ag-
eressive and alert, and ne seems to
have thought that the end justified any
sort of means, just SO he won.
Esau, on the other hand, was an
easv-goine Individual. He belonged to
the let-weIl-enough-al crowd. He
liked to spend all of his time hunting,
while Jacob was raising crops He
was not as Industrious as his younger
brother but he was the favorite with
his peaceful, easy-going old father,
Isaac.
1t is in regard to the paternal bless
however, rather than over the sale of
his birthright He was the victim of
a deliberate deception when he was
defrauded of his blessing-a deception,
by the way, for which Jacob was
soundly punished in after years by be-
ing deceived by his own sons.
The old story of Esau's birthright is
a familiar one-how, when he came in
from a hunt one day, almost famished,
he found Jacob industriously making
a fine mess of pottage. Naturally he
asked Jacob to give him some. Jacob,
seeing Esau was in hard straits, took
advantage of his condition and pro-
posed to give Esau the pottage in ex-
change for his rights as the elder
brother-rights of great Importance in
those days.
And Esau weakly consented. and
was forever Afterwards subject to his
stronger brother.
Iimitless lessons can be drawn from
Esau's weakness. Birthrights are he
ing sold in gross lots every day. And
not Only do individuals sell them, but
nations and peoples do the same.
The nation that worships at the
shrine of the golden calf sells Its birth
right for 4 mess of pottage-and
pretty poor mess at that. The people
who are content to let well enough
alone and turn the job of ruling them
selves over TO the politicians are SELL
ing one of their birthrights-and they
are making a worse bargain than Esau
did. The citizens of corrupt and con-
tented cities who go to sleep and let
srafters run their municipalities are
treating one of their most valuable
birthrights worse than did Esau.
Don't be an ESau.
