LuNArlcs ALLOWED At LARGE.
They Are a Menace TO the Public, But
Under No Restraint.

There are many lunatics at large

persons have been killed by maniacs,
and relatives OF the killers knew they
were insane and swore to it on the
witness stand at the subsequent trials.
No insane person is harmless. One
frequently hears 1t said of an eccen-
trio person: He's crazy, all right,
but he's a harmless man" Every
lunatic is a menace. 1t is better for
him and for all his relatives that he
be locked up. You never can tell
what madman will do, and If he
takes human life he cannot be pun
ished for it,
There are few persons who go up
and down the face of the earth who
are not acquainted with one or more
lunatics. know two crazy men who
go about their business the same as
other men do. One of them is single
and Is an egomaniac. He thinks of no
one and nothing but himself It Is
virtually impossible for him to talk
about any subject except his business
affairs and his wonderful doings. All
Of his acquaintances treat him indul-
gently and laugh at his boasts. He is
quick-tempered and Quarrelsome and
some day he'll do some one mischief.
Then all his friends will swear that he
Is crazy and that they have known 1t
for long time and never thought he
was dangerous. Insanity Is in the
mans family. Two of his relatives
are In asylums.
The other lunatic with whom am
acquainted believes that every mans
hand is against him. II you pass him
on the street and fail to greet him
with effusiveness you are certain to
receive two or three menacing letters.
If he invites you to 80 somewhere
with him and you decline with all the
politeness imaginable he will threaten

Mr.. Creaeer, why do you keep your

it because you thus wish to reflect upon the

do you seek thus to evade state taxes.

he was opposed to the State Bank guaranty
plan. and if elected would vote for the

than they have been of late, accord

the prospects are that they will con-
tinue to increase. Idle freight cars
are fast becoming thing of the past.
The railroad shops, employing, as
they do, gigantic numbers of laborers,
skilled and unskilled, are being
operated more regularly and are Civ
ing employment to more men than
they have in many months. And so it
is in other Industries. too numerous to
mention in detail. Factory wheels all
over the nation have begun to turn
with increased energy. Crops are
abundant and the prices that all of
them are demanding are in the neigh
borhood of figures that are fancy.

even under the surface, for that mat

a return of the great prosperity that
this country enjoyed for an extensive

HERE AND THERE.

While most European countries are
monarchies which cling to the pomp
and display which has always charac-
terfzed such Institutions, the cities of
Europe are said to be more democratic
in their government, as a rule, than
those of America. In most of the mu-
nicipal elections, suffrage is universal,
and there is less interference from he
central government with the manage
ment of local affairs than there is in
most American cities. The city gov
eminent is more, likely to represent the
popular will in Europe than in America
for this reason, And there is consider
ably less talk, of graft in municipal af-
fairs abroad than in this country. The
people feel thAt they can run the gov
eminent If they, pay some attention to
IT. and they do, IN this country, every
city council is hedged by state and ma
tional laws. many of them the work Of
legislators who know little of city life,
and the result is that the actual resi-
dents of. the cities become discouraged,
and. are inclined to let the politicians
run things. Mayor Whitlock, of Toledo,
who is something of writer, recently
wrote a magazine article in which he
said that some such segregation of mu-
nicipal and state governments is neces-
sary in this country, IL we are to-be rid
of the graft scandals which have
caused CITY politics in this country to
be regarded as a corrupt joke.-Atch-

Red rebellion is abroad in the fair
Guy OF Lawrence, Kan, where the
olympic heights of the great Univer-
sty OF Kansas cast their classic shad-
ows to the westward for half the day
ana with equal persistency, cast their
shadows to the eastward during the
oIonlng afternoons. Lawrence is
city OF peace, of complacent intros-
evolent hospitality. Not since the rude
invasion of Quantrell and his guer-
rlilas has anything happened in Law

The University of Kansas was one
of the pioneer educational institutions
OF this country in granting equal rec
ognition to young men and women at
the fountain of knowledge. This has
been one of the secrets OF its great
popularity. Thousands of the youth
of both sexes have passed through its
portals and many of these boys ana
girls have gone forth into the world
hand in hand. The social life of the
university town has always been at
tractive, with practically no restraint
upon intermingling except the ordin-
airy rules of social intercourse. The
man or woman of mature years
claiming Lawrence as dear old alma
mater looks back upon the intimate
but decorous social life of that town
with a heart mellowed by sweet MEM
cries. Years ago the old Dutch wind
mill that stood west of the "hill' was
the shrine of callow youth and dim
pied maid. If the fine old elms and
naples, the moss-covered wall, the
coy hooks and Swallowed paths could
only tell their stories of those glorious.
nights and beautiful days when the
sap of youth ran strong and to live
was an ecstasy-but to return to the
red rebellion.
The edict has gone forth, that all
social festivities shall be SO curtailed
that there shall be no calling. no
dates" no moonlight strolls. no tete-
a-tetes no billing and cooling save the

object of this Infringement of ancient
and natural rights is to insure to both
boys and girls a larger part of their
time for absorbing certain educational

open protests against the new order.
Most of the young men and many of
the young women have signed the
