The story THAT Edwin Markham, the
poet, says is his favorite one strongly
suggests the modern worldly interpre-
tation of the golden rule-''Do unto
others as thev do unto you. but do it
first" Mr.. Markham evidently gath
cred the material for his story while
living near Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
At any rate, he told it in Brooklyn.
1t is as follows:
Il have a great curiosity whep L
meet strangers to learn their views of
life and their ethical principles One
day l found a neighbor OF mine, who
is gambler, sitting on a bench in the
public square. 1 sat down beside HIM,
and in the course of our conversation
asked:
''Neighbor Smith. have you any set
rule by which you live?'
".Yes. / haver cried Smith, as he
brought his fist down on the seat with

Bailey

While Ex-Governor w. j. Galley has
been urged repeatedly to become an
open candidate for United States SEN
ator, he has given his friends to un-
derstand that he is not such candi-
date.
This does not mean that Governor
Bailey would not accept the senator
ship if 1t were offered him says the
Topeka Herald. To be the representa-
tive of the people of Kansas in the
greatest legislative body in the world
is an honor of which any man might
be proud, and to have ones fellow
citizens urge it upon one is indeed
gratifying. But no office is an honor
to a great man unless he is in posi-
tion 10 honor the office. If the sena-
torshlp come to Governor Bailey with
no stnpliments attached to it he
wouldGefiect credit upon himself and
his state; but if he is to be forced in
to any situation where he could not
be free to represent Kansas according
to his own ideas, w. J. Bailey might
not care for the senatorship.
At present 40 man stands higher
IA the estimation of the people of
Kansas as a whole than this Bailey
lille farmer. Three years ago he re-
fused 80 accept the dictatioH of Thos.
Fr. Kelley and his crowd but insisted

FOR the best interests of Kansas as he
&aw them. As a result Kelly and his
Ecrowd directed certain dissatisfied
elements against the governor and
the so called boss buster movement
! resulted. The people of Kansas now
realize their mistake, and as a result
of his firm stand and the injustice
done him, William ]. Bailey, stands
higher in their esteem than even be-
fore.
If Governor Bailey were sent to
Washington free to honor the high
offiee of senator he would doubtless be
glad of the commission, hat he does
not propose to go there bound by ties
and combinations that would make it
impossible for him to be the repre-
sentative of the people of Kansas. He
has no desire to be the servant of
ecial interests of politicians. There

The Cigarette.

The writer smoked cigarettes in
moderation for three or four years.
He quit, not because public opinion is
against the cigarette. nor yet because
he believed the cigarette injurious,
but for the reason that the cigarette
is an unsatisfactory smoke. As a sub
stltute for either pipe or cigar the
cigarette is nuisance. 1t is net in
any sense good smoke. 1t lacks the
real tobacco flavor, which is after all
the real joy of the smoker, and is with
al insipid and annoying. The writer
doubts that the cigarette is any more
injurious than the pipe or cigar.
Which is to say that the normally
healthy human animal may smoke Gig
arettes all his life without noting any
i'll effects therefrom. The thing that
makes the cigarette popular is the
continuous syawping" against it.
Man is a contrary animal and he will
not stand for dictation as to his per-
sonal habits. If the press and the Of
ticious conversators of tile public
morals could be persuaded to quit adj
vertising the cigarette the practice
of smoking it would practically die of
it's own accord.-Dodd CASTOR.

Starting a BaIky Horse

Many plans are given to start Il balky
horse. Here is one from the Team
Owners Review: TO make balky
horse go, take rope about II feet long,
pass it around the forelegs and allow
it to drop down below the fetlock
again, then taking one end in each
hand have the driver start the horse
while the man ahead pulls on the rope.
This will bring the horse to jump
with one leg on the ground or take a
step, and as soon as he does this he
will forget to stop again, and If the
rope is dropped he will usually walk
over it without futher trouble. If this
is practiced few times he will get
so he will start at the sight of the
rope and it will not be necessary to
apply it to his leg if he balks.

COTTON PRICES OFF
coon CRoP REPORTS IRRESPONSIBLE
 FOR THIS.
Bears Malxing Desperate Effort to Force Market Down While Far
 naers Are Holding For Erif- . teen Cents.

Holders and sellers of cotton were doomed to disappointment in the course of yesterdays cotton market. The opening prices declined 1-16 and continued downward with hardly re- action, closing at very nearly the lowest point of the day.
 In face of such reports as are coming In, about the crop, such markets as yesterdays are Very discouraging. Many farmers have already begun to hold their product, believing in an advance later on. The course of the cotton market is very uncertain. and something that no man can predict with any degree of certainty.
 The famous cotton statistician, MT. Buston. of Liverpool. was in the city yesterday making his annual trip through. the cotton section of the South He is on his way to the West, and viii probably not make a report until his return to Europe. Yesterday afternoon he left the city for Troy in an automobile for the purpose of sec Ing the cotton crop along the road.
 Prices began yesterday at eleven and ppe-haR cents and went down to eleven and one-fourth for middling and eleven and three-eights cents for strict mid ding. These prices are however. mere- ty nominal and shippers were very in- different.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Oct. 1o.--There was some fur. ther urgent iiQuidation conducted at the stock exchange today which caused violent declines fn mnny sections of the list of se- curitiss. aithoueh at others some show of stability was made partly because necessa- " iiquidation sn some stocks has already been effected, partly by reason of buying by uncovered shorts who followed the pre- cedins decline and partly, t was assumed by reason of supporting measurts placed In the market by friends of various securi- ties.
 Some violent contrasts in the market was the consequences Industrial stocks as q group were very weak and the movement in some of them gave evidence of a process of housekeeping going on. on the part of some of the commission houses which had grown weary of carrying stale accounts or we're prompted to take In sail and to com pei their clients to do so. If was reported that In some loans that were maturing se- were discrimination was exercised against some of the Industrial stocks which figured as collateral.
 The motives for this cleaning up process were not indicated by any immediate news of the day but the condition of the money market and the prospect of additional strain there were believed to lie back of the sc- tion. The fact that call money holds firm ly near six per cent as 1t has done since the first of the month. In itself proves dis courasing to the carrying of duiescent ac- counts. st
 An incident was the heavy selling of it down to level where the rate of divi- dend return fs higher than on the common stocks. The notable feature of the market was the resistance offered by some of the stocks which are favorite mediums of the most active speculation.
 Bonds were steady.
