Being Well Dressed.

to account for the reason why one
woman, whose dress budget totals a
much more moderate amount at the end
of the year than her richer neghbor, al

wisdom of u'tonng or lacing the boots
or shoes before proceeding to put on their
gowns.
Yet it is an undenable fact that moth
ing spoils the hang of a skirt so ir-
remediably as the habit OF STOPPING in a
forced position. straining every hook and
forming creaseS which no amount of
smoothing will eradicate, says Woman's
Life.
Another fatal mistake which is often
perpetrated is that Of emitting to pull
down the skirt In front after fastenin !,
the waistband. To manage this alone is
impossible. but few women cannot, after
all. command the services of some one
else who can be intrusted with this duty.

Sale for Toilet Articles.

In Venezuela there is a large demand
for perfumery. even among the men, while
as to face powder, it is an absolute neces-
sity for the women on account of the
climate. according to a report from Con-
sui Johnson at Puerto Cabello. He be-
lieves that American manufacturers of
perfumeries and toilet preparations would
do we'll to turn more of their attention to
Venezuela. He says that in the drug and

IN little sarcasm in commenting on the
Stubbs crowd that i. now IN the saddle
IN Kansas. Among other remarks,
Senator Long is credited with the follow
ing:
What are the reformers going to do
atthe coming session Of the legisIature2"
ne asked. Il suppose they have their
plans all mapped out. They will no
doubt enact some important railroad
Legislation. They viii have a physical
valuation Of railroads and will then base
some height rates on the valuation.
The Santa Fe has a very valuable line
beteen Topeka and Wichita and it will
be allowed to charge a high rate be-
cause it must earn lot to pay interes,
on its big investment. The poor lines
can charge low rates. Then Wichita
will begin mandamus proceedings asains,
the Santa Fe to compel it to reduce il,
rates. The reform business should be
canied out to the limit"

Old Soldiers Preference Law Invalid

The supreme court Of Kansas last
week decided the old soldiers preference
law invalid. The test case went up
from Harper county. The commissioners
OF Harper county ignored an old soldier
who was candidate for county assessor
last spring and appointed man who
suited them better. The old soldier In
sdtuted proceedings to compel the COM
missioners to appoint him, resulting in a
victory for the commissioners. The
court holds, in substance, that the ap-
pointing power is the sole Judge of the
fitness Of applicants.
The law was passed several years
ago by the republicans Of Kansas for
the sole purpose Of "cinching" the old
soldiers vote. Soon after its passage the
supreme court itself violated the law by
giving one Of the best jobs at its disposal
to professional politician, over an old
soldier and hundreds of appointments
have been made since with the same
open disregard Of the new and peculiar
statute.
A law Of this kind could not be
otherwise than invalid and it was not
passed with any pretense of being enforc-
ed. Like hundreds of other recent
statutes, it was intended to bribe certain
men to vote.the republican ticket, bu.
now that the republican party itself has
anulled it. the g. o. p. will have to man.
ufacture some new dope" to entice the
old soldier vote.

Mutually and Voluntarily" Feminist.

The State Banker, Association mel
In Hutchinson last week and went on rec
erd unanimously against a mutual and
voluntary" guaranty law. and arranged
to oppose the measure with all the power
available when the legislature convenes.
CO. Chandler Of Wichita. formerly Of
this city. is one Of the strong leaders who
heads the movement and he is supported
by all the influential bankers of the
state. In this Mr. Chandler and his
friends are consistent. They have op-
posed every suggestion Of legislation
along this line and have always stood
against voluntary guaranty as stead
fastly as they have against a genuine
law.
This should settle it so far as the re-
publican side Of the Legislature is con-
cerned. What sense would there
be in enacting law giving the bankers
Of the state power to mutually and
voluntarily associate themselves togeth-
er for the purpose Of guaranteeing de-
posts when the bankers say in advance
that they won't do it2 How far would
tax law reach that would provide that
property owners may mutually and vol
unfairly pay taxes9 How many people
would pay taxes if it were left entirely
optional with them2
The only bank guaranty measure that
has been proposed, was the one offered
by the Democratic party. 1t was a
straight, unconditional. compulsory, def
mite proposition. and since the people
did not vote for it, the legislature is mol
in duty bound to enact it The milk and
water substitute proposed by a faction
Of republicans. for vote getting purposes,
is worse than nothing and the action Of
the bankers proves it. 1t seems that IN
this matter the voters Of Kansas have
mutually and voluntarily" been made
to look like multitude Of chumps.

Deserves Recognition

When Gov. Stubb. comes to distribut-
ing the patronage among the new crowd
now IN control Of affairs in Kansas, there
is one man in Barber county who should
not be overlooked. We refer to Hon
Glover M. Martin Of this city. MIR.
Martin was outspoken for Stubs and
Bnstow when their candidacy seemed to
be joke. He organized the square deal
ers,here which resulted inStubbs' 5 carrying
the county in the primary when it was
considered Leland stronghold, and the
county was saved to Long by small
majority for the single reason that it wa.
his home. He assisted Samuel Griffin
IN his contest to secure the nomination
over VIM. Gesner, and later neglected
his own candidacy to promote Mr.. Crit
6ns success in the interest Of J.L. Bristow
for senator and Stubbs's policies in the
Legislature. If Governor Stubbs now
fails to recognize and reward these serMc-
es he will prove himself an ingrate Of the
Tankest type.
