THE REST ROOM.

In q recent issue of Golfers Weekly
is an editorial setting forth an imagi-
nary but striking picture of Kansas
farmers wife who has gone to town
for Street Fair Day in the whiting heat
of the prairie summer with her hus-
band, and three small children. includ-
ing the baby, under the big yellow UNI
brella strapped to, the wagon seat.
1t is a dreadfully dismal picture.
Shopping done. the wagon unhitched
in a vacant lot, lunch eaten in its
shade, the man goes back to the holi-
day street. The woman stays behind
to mind the children. She might go
to a store, to be sure, where she would
be in every ones way; well-meaning
folks would give the children candy
until their little hands would stick to
everything they touched, including their
mothers skirt, and there would be MOTH
ing to do but go out into-the street and
walk, then return; and wait and wait.
So all that long afternoon she sits on
the ground, holding the baby in the
little patch of shade. The sun beats
down, clouds of dust envelop them, the
children's hands and faces become
grimy; finally at six, the man returns,
bitches up; they watch the balloon as
cension and start home. Then what?
Supper to get, milk to strain and put
away, dishes to wash, chickens to
shut up. calves to feed, and the tired
babies to battle and soothe to sleep.
The woman had looked forward to this
outing as a much-needed change; when
she finally gets to bed she is too tired
to sleep. Her holiday has been spent
under a wagon on a dirty vacant, lot;
the shade of the trees Of her own yard
would have been pleasanter."
This" writes a woman from Car
bondale to Golfers; 'is the condition
in the average town. There are num-
erous places where the men are welcome
ed-where they can spend an hour
without a thought of being in the way.
Should not these women have a place of
their own where. when their shopping
is done they can take their babies and
visit and rest and go home refreshed
and strengthened rather, than utterly
worn out?'
Mr. Norman Hapgood, the editor of

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Today at Ottawa, Kansas is enter
tanning the man whom we hope and
Believe will be the next president of
the United States.
Kansas admiration for the genial
secretary of war is unbounded. We of
the west thoroughly believe in him.
He stands for independence and de-
cency in politics and government; for
efficiency and against graft-includfng
the graft which the trusts receive by
the grace of an excessive tariff: for
the Roosevelt policies and the other
things In which Kansas believes
Secretary Taft's rebuke of the Cox
machine in Ohio two years ago; his
declaration for tariff revision in Maine
last year; his refusal to neglect his du
ties as a cabinet official to engage in
a scramble for. the presidential en-
dorsement of Ohio; his refusal to en-
dorse Foraker and his machine for the
sake of harmony,-al1 these appeal
strongly to the rank and file of Kansas
voters. Add to these indications of
principles, his strength of intellect and.
judgment as displayed by his career on
the federal bench. and his great execu-,
tive ability as shown by his manage.
ment of the Philippines and by his.
by the cordial endorsement of Theodore
Roosevelt, and you have the reason why
Kansas hopes to see Taft president.
Incidentally Kansas proposes to do
its best to make him president.

QUAKER REFLECTIONS.

LFrom the Philadelphia Record.1
Lots of people who try to do right
get left.
A girls first love affair is apt to de-
velop into an epidemic.
The skeleton in the closet sometimes
takes the form of spirits.
A man and his trousers are both apt
to be pressed by the tailor.
The sick man naturally feels that
the doctor is ili-treating him.
No, Maude, dear. it doesn't make a
thin man any stouter to dress in broad
cloth.
The turning point in a mans life is
when he realizes that one good turn de-
serves another.
She-"Oh, could never marry a man
with red hair" He-"Darling, I would
dye for you"
Blobbe-"This tall clock has been in
our family for three generations"
SIobbs-'What a long time!
You can't make some women realize
that a husband in the hand is worth two
breach OF promise suits.
Nell-'Sfnce Maude married Chollie
Saphedde 1 don't think they get along
very we'll" Belle-"No; Chollie threat
ems to go homs to his papa.

[From the Chicago News.
It's a good thing not to be good

Many man says How do you do -
just before doing you.
Trouble is something that generally
visits us without warning.
1t takes two to make a match-and a
divorce to ignite 1t.
A word to the wise may be sufficient
NUT it depends upon the word.
Lots of lazy men would kick if they
were compelled to do nothing.
Never use hard words-especially if
you are unable to pronounce them.
Most of the good things in life come
to those who wait on themselves.
There would be more races to the
swift If it wasn't for the fixed events.

A Jewell county jointist, who was sent

Millionaire Fish may think by coming
from New York to Salina, to work in
a railway station there, that he will
have all the Salina girls fishing for him.
Wen bet he'll get fooled-Saline coun-
ty is one of the best wheat counties in

The Wichita Beacon runs its Kan
sas notes under the heading "Sunfiower
Seeds and it's Oklahoma comment I'M

the makeup man transposed the heads,
which causes the agricultural editor of

of the horticultural graft applied to ag-
riculture Is the action of the Wichita
Beacon in running it's Alfalfa Blossoms
under the 'Sunfiower~ Seeds head, and
vice versa. The result of the cross will
be watched with some interest-and an
assurance that the product will be more
sunfiower seed than alfalfa blossom"
Last week the Saturday Evening Post
printed "piece about Will Allen White
by Samuel G. Blythe one of the POSTS
staff writer's, and now the Emporia Ga
zette makes this comment on it:
Samuel G. Blythe, who wrote the
piece about an Emporia man in the
Saturday Evening Post this week, is
Sbne of the best known reporters in the
United States. For years he had charge
of the New York worlds Washington
bureau, and now IS regularly employed
by the Post. He wrote up Fairbanks a
week or two ago. and Taft about a
month ago, and signed the articles, and
will have another signed article in the
Post this year-thls putting to naught
the Emporia theory that the Emporia
man wrote the article about himself
and invented the name of Blythe to COW
er up his swell-head. Blythe spent
several hours in Emporia talking to
people when the Emporia man he was
writing about did not know Blythe was
in town. Later he strayed into the Ga
zette office and get a buggy ride behind
old Tom, and a beefsteak to cheer him
on his lonely way"
