Business.

Business conditions over the coun-
try, says the Topeka Herald, have
never been better for this season Of
the year than at the present time.
According to the trade journals, the
usual midsummer lull Of mercantile
transactions has failed TO make Its
appearance and trade is moving along
as II the active season Of the year
we're on. This is q very encouraging
symptom and causes feeling Of
buoyanSy everywhere. The Wall
street stock market still has its
troubles. but they are giving little
concern to the country at large. The
farmer and MERCHANT have learned
that the tricks d the gamblers on the
exchange have no effect on the gem
eral business Of The country, except
such as outsiders permit 1t to have.
There is not the slightest ground
Tor the pessimlstic talk that has been
heard 10 some quarters. However,
there Is an element Of real danger In
the situation. The continuance Of
such unparalleled prosperity Is likely
70 encourage over speculation which
in It's tura Is sure 70 end IN disaster
unless checked In time

Things do not always come out
right. Mr.. Stubs does not want to
be governor; he earns more money
than any governor Of Kansas ever did
and he does not care to worry with
the job probably. But he does want
to 20 to the senate where there Is
little to do and plenty OF salary aud
glory. Yet Kansas booms him for
governor and will not take him seri'
ously for senator.

Lawrence Gazette; In central Kan
sas they figure now that the wheat
will average fifteen bushels to the acre..
and that with the advanced price, the
farmers will get more money out Of
the crop than they got last year.
Which proves again that the Kansas
man is always doing some figuring,

Abilene Started Something.

When Abilene's commercial club
fled its statement OF facts on the in
surance rates it started movement
that seems likely to be Of some good
to the state. As an example OF the
profits In the insurance rates hard
ware merchant who put up $40 for q
years insurance In mutual company
at the regular rates received return
dividend Of $2S last week, $12 having
paid all losses and expenses. The re-
suit Of this kind Of experience will be
that all lines Of business will be driven
into mutual insurance or no insur'
ance.
The Leavenworth Times comment
ing on the ANTITRUST fight says:
1.-THE fire insurance companies OF
the country were hard hit BY the San
Francisco fire. The payment OF the
claims which resulted from 1t almost
exhausted their SURPRISES, but it left
these concerns none the weaker, for
it is pretty clear that these SURPRISES
had been piled up since the Baltimore
fire, which occurred but few years
previously, How rapidly these COM
panies are making money can be esti'
mated from this reliable indication,
Given a few years longer in which to
apply their present tactics, and their
wealth would be fabulous.
1.-THE insurance companies are too
greedy. 1t is nothing but greed that
could lead them to make such exac-
lions as they have made in Leaven-
worth for protection from hre. Their
charges are out Of all proportion to
the risks they have assumed. They
have pushed the advantage OF COM
bination too far in this city, as they
have in every city in the state. And
their methods have unquestionably
brought them into the class OF law
violators. Attorney General Jackson
will find that they have transgressed
to point where they may be punish
ed. A forcible dissolution Of the
agreement should be effective. II 1t
fails, there should be a resort to more
severe measures.
"a destruction Of q combination
would be good thing for the COM
panies, their agents and the people Of
Kansas. The people would get their
insurance more cheapIy, competition
once having been restored; the agents
would still get their commissions and
more Of them, for the amount Of in
surance carried would be at once very
largely increased. Property owners
in Leavenworth and generally through
out the state are carrying now COM
paratively only a very little insurance
because Of the excessively high rates,
carrying really less than they feel
they should have, but all they can af-
ford at the present charges"

The Convention City,

The Republicans Of the west have
good reason to be encouraged over
the efforts Of Kansas City to secure
the national convention Of the party.
Kansas City with Its central location
its ample facilities, It's wonderful pro-
gress and enthusiasm has BY all odds
the strongest claim Of any city in
the nation for the location Of the con-
vention.
The transmississippi country Is tb'
heart Of the Republican party and ii
is upon the prosperity Of this section
more than upon that Of any Other
part Of the nation that our country
progress depends. Its demands and
It's needs should have first cOnsiderA-
ton IRON the Republican party and
to hold the national convention here
means that the whole country viii Be
benefited through the impetus given
coward good government and good
politics.

The Los Angeles Examiner says
that As Told in the Hills" at the
Grand Is one of the prettiest dramas
that has been put on the local stage
this season. Perhaps that IL not say
Ing enough for It, Here and there
is the course OF a plot that leaps from
one situation to another with the
feyerishness OF the real gallery piece.
There Is an artistic touch which
makes one wish the drama had been
cast in a better mold. The pictur-
esque Indian characters OF Pamnena
and Little Fox. when they are bent on
their love-making, have a suggestion
of the Fenimore Cooper romance,
-Hiawatha. Dorothy Grey comes to
us with all the delight OF fresh post
or. Little Fox, the young Indian, is
a specimen of manhood worth seeing.
The comedy parts are well handled
by Don Macmillan and Bert Boza, as
the silly negro and the crushed act
or" with Little Fox springing up
from behind a convenient rock when
ever Pamnena is in danger and Pam
nena getting the drop" on the
bad man" whenever Little Fox is
not there, is sufficient to make a
drama that pleases the masses. TAX

American Temperament and Art.

The majority OF the men and women
who gave American life its form and
direction were not the children OF an
artistic race, though they We're the
heirs of a great literature. They de-
scended from a people who have never
pursued art as an end and whose first
instructive expression In meeting great
experiences has never been artistic,
but who have never divorced action
from vision nor failed In the long run
TO match power In action with some
kind of beauty in speech. From its
English ancestry the country has In
herited an lngrained and ineffaceable
idealism Of nature. which enormous
tasks and hitherto Incredible prosper
ity have at times smothered and blight
ed, but never destroyed. From other
races have come richer temperament,
quicker sensibilities, craving for joy
and love of beauty for its own sake.
which have already immensely enrich
ed American art and are subsoiling
