prosperous; business was hourishing;
enormous crops were harvesting and
the farmers of the United States were
adding up almost unhead-of profits.
But New York paid no attention to
this. Her eyes were centered strictly
on Wall street and a heartrending
vail assembled to heaven from that
pfous precinct that a terrible panic
was sweeping over the land. OF course
the country smiled. There was
panic among the gamblers who had
pinched their own fingers, but no.
where else. To New York the trivial
fact that group of her stock traders
had made some bad deals signified

1.-THE fact is that the influence of
New York on the rest of the country
never was very great and is steadily
diminishing. Her morals have served
more as a warning than an example
for many years. In finance she is
steadily losing her hegemony. The

less upon her capital, is now entirely
cious little call for New York's money

be thankfully remarked, has no liter

HIS NEGLECT.

He used to tell her she was fair,
And she was glad to hear his praise;
de guarded her from danger where
They used to CROSS the crowded ways;
He used to tenderly assist
Her from the carriage or the car;
But now his gallantry is missed.
How brief such favors often arei
he never tells her she Is sweet,
He never offers her an arm.
Or guards her in the crowded street
From anything that offers harm.
He used to praise her soulful eyes,
But many years have passed since then;
she used to listen with glad signs
To hear him say the words again.
he never tells her now that she
Possesses charms which make him glad;
He never lifts her gallantly
across the places that are bad;
Yet do not blame him or declare
With thoughless haste that such is life;
He has no right to call her fair

RAIDING THE PORK BARREr.

Inc brilliant young congressman
from the Third Kansas district. Philip
Pitt Campbell, is quoted as saying that
ne Will try to secure government
buildings during the coming congress
Tor three towns in his district Par
sons, Independence and CoffeyviIIe.
1t is also rumored that Mr. Camp
bell Is slated for considerable trouble
In securing denomination next year,
largely because of his stand pat views.
Is there, or is there not any con-
nection, between these two facts? Mr..
Campbell is recognized as a faithful
supporter in congress of Uncle Joe
Cannon. the steel trust congressman,
and other stand pat advocates who
propose to hang on to a high tariff
for the benefit of the trusts as long as
possible. And 1t is also a recognized
fact that "the pork barrel'-the bill
which carries the appropriations for
public BUILDINGS usually manipul-
ated by the leaders for the benefit of
those congressman who are good"
those who stand by Uncle Joe and his
crowd. The congressman who can get
public buildings for the towns of his
district at the expense of the govern
ment has in the past been able to
make his constituents believe he has
been doing a Great Work, and the
voters have been held in line for him.
AS a rule, however. one congress
man has been given only one new
building each year. Congressman
Campbell proposes to ask for three |
1t will be interesting to see If Uncle |
Joe and Mr.. DalzeIl of Pennsylvania, |
believe he is worth that many. Uncle |
Joe thinks a great deal of Campbell, |
while Dalzell needs all the stand pat |
support he can get. Perhaps the |
Third district will be given all three |
buildings If they are needed to secure /
Mr.. Campbelrs reelection.
But if 1t seems impossible to give
more than one building to the Third /
district next year. it will be interest
ng to note which ones Mr.. Campbell |
will let go by the wayside. The vot-
ers of those towns have it in their
power to make it very interesting for
heir congressman. If he should give
| building to Independence and turn
Town Coffeyyille, the latter town
night be able to carry Montgomery
county against hin-and vice versa.
Dr., If he should favor Parsons and
hus make himself solid in Labette
county, 1t might insure that Montgom-
Try county would be against him.
Then, too, it will be interesting to
tote If the support of the people or
he favored county can be bought,
or that is what it amounts to-with
'ublic buildings. If it can, they will
ot be particularly different from, and
10 worse than, many another COM
nunity. Many congressman have held
heir seats in congress solely by this
neans-approprfation for public
or river improvements, or
avy yards. Still, there appears to be :
new era dawning in politics, and the {
ublic might refuse to sell its sup ..
ort for such things.
Altogether this proposed raid on the 6
pork barrel will be an interesting I
rocedure.

NEW YORK.

1t seems that the Pacific coast has
about the same ideas regarding New
York and it's assumed superiority that
much of the Middle West has. Accord
ing to an editorial in the Portland
Oregonian, which, by the way, Is one
of the strongest newspapers on the
coast, the Northwest thinks New
York is provincial and does not
amount to much, after all.
In this connection 1t might be noted
that a Seattle banker recently stated
that the Pacific coast states have
about 40 million dollars loaned in the
east. So Wall Street has been borrow
ing out there as well as in Kansas.
1.-The curious Indifference of New
York City to everything and every
body outside the confines of Manhat-
tan Island" says the Oregonian,
may, of course, bear at least two diff
ferent interpretations. 1t may be held,
on the one hand, that this indifference
is the legitimate fruit of a genuine
independence from all exterior
persons and things and that 1t
is justified by a marked moral
and intellectual superiority. On
the other hand, 1t may be held that 1t
denotes provincialism both in mind
and morals, provincialism, too, Of
singularly obvious fact that the great
ness Of New York is not only depend
ent upon the rest of the country, but
Is even parasitic in it's nature. Which
of these views Is the true one?"
New York, the Oregonian points
out, is boorishly ignorant. Fifth ave-
nue. and The Bowery alike did not
know who Robert Fulton was on the
recent Fulton anniversary, although
Robert Fulton's invention of the
steamboat was one of the causes of
New York's greatness. Continuing
the Oregonian says:
Let US recall another instance still
more convincing and adorned with a
lively touch OF the absurd. A few
weeks ago the gamblers in Wall street
went somewhat beyond their means
in speculation and naturally fell into
financial straits The bubbles which
they had industriously blown began to
burst. There was an enormous
shrinkage in what New York
ludicrously calls values The real
shrinkage was in the fanciful prices
which the gamblers set upon their
chances of winning in their game
Meanwhile the rest of the country
knew nothing whatever of the trou-
bles of Wall street except through
newspaper accounts. Everybody was

Possibly you have noted, also, that
the Leland gubernatorial boom has re-
ceived no very enthusiastic support
from the vicinity of Senator Long.
u y
Perhaps another reason Wall street
doesn't take the advice of this depart
ment and go into alfalfa as a money
maker, is because it has sometime lost
money in wheat.
Now they have nicknamed Governor
Hughes "Straight-Line Charlie" What
