CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

Only thirty more shopping days, in
Guiding Christmas eve, remain in
which the inhabitants of Topeka, and
all other places, for that matter, may
do their holiday shopping. That is
practically a months time, but If the
average person who takes advantage
of the Christmas season for the ex-
change of gifts will stop to think for
a minute there will be called to mind
any number of things that will have
to be done in that period of time,
which is not too extensive by any
manner of means.
In the first place there must be a
making out Of lists which soon take
on rather staggering proportions for
no one must be left off who remem-
bered the makers of these lists on last

of diplomatic talk among near rela-
tives and friends to find out what sort
of things they will be best pleased to
receive, for even though a thing be a

affords much more pleasure if it is en-
tirely satisfactory to the recipient and
is something that he or she wanted
Next in the order of events is the

them is not yet. Cards have to be
written for them. Then they have to
be wrapped up and finally addressed.

THE PRovIDENT ASSOCIATION


From the reports presented and a
variety of other things incident to
the annual meeting of the Provident
| association, which was held recently,
it may be said of the results accom-
pIished through the activities of this
worthy charitable organization during
the past year: well done, thou good
and faithful servant" 1t is deserving
of all possible encouragement and
support from the people of this city.
For, through it. the charitably in
clined have the best possible medium
for the distribution of their bounty.
There is no doubt that considerable
of the charity that is dispensed in
this world. and in that part of 1t
which Topeka occupies, is mis-
directed Folks, who have more than
enough of this worlds goods for their
own use and comfort and who are
inclined to be most generous in help
ing those whose conditions are not so
favorable-and it may be said in
passing that Topeka is blessed with a
large number of persons of this sort
scatter their abundance in a
promiscuous sort of a fashion. In
many instances this kind of giving
does more harm in the long run than
it does good.
With the Provident association 1t is
different. 1t has an organization
that has made itself familiar with
needs of the poverty stricken in the
community. 1t knows the ones who
are worthy of help just as we'll as it
knows those who aim to exc out an
existence by professionally sponging
on the charitably inclined and ever
working on their sympathies with
narrowing tales for which there is not
the slightest foundation of fact. This
organization is able to make a dol
than would an indiscriminate gift of
ten dollars from a private individual
who might be appealed to for help
from a person who may be prac-
tically a stranger and whose real
needs are not known.
But that is not the best feature of
the work of the Provident associa-
ton. 1t directs its energies in the
apportionment of charity towards
themselves. That is the real, the true
charity. And so it would be well for
Topekans who wish to participate in
the extension of charity in the city
to make their donations of money,
clothing, provisions and all other
things to the Provident association.
It will be well and faithfully handled
by this organization in doing the
greatest good to the greatest num-

not really an unusual amount of time
left for the doing Of all these things
as most persons are unable to start
out and devote a couple of entire
days or more to this sort of work. 1t
has to be pieced in some way while the
ordinary affairs of life, with their de-
mand for time, are being pursued in
their customary ways. Already have
the stores begun to advertise their
stock of Christmas goods and have
placed them on the counters for sale.
This time last year the people of the
country were blinking their eyes at
something of a momentous financial
panic and hard times were seen
ahead. This year the future has moth
ing but prosperous and rosy hues. and
therefore it is safe to say that there
will be larger crowds of shoppers in
the stores making holiday purchases
this year than there were the last
time
ALI of which presents as good argu-
ment as can be given why the Christ
mas shoppers should do their buying
early 1t does not take half an eye
to see that persons who visit the
stores these days can secure more
adequate individual attention from
the clerks than they can if they wait
until the last few days before Christ
mas. They will also show a con-
sfderation to the clerks which will be
greatly appreciated by them.

I'm weary of the ceaseless hurry,
I'm weary of the daily grind;

To cause a stir among mankind.

The needs that come from day to day
Oh for a couch with servants bending
Around and tanning flies away.
T. weary of the noise and hustle,
The smoke, the crowds, the ugliness;
The grim necessity to hustle
Is irksome to me, confess;
long to dwell in fine seclusion,
NV laurels won, my fame secure,
Free from inQuisitiVe intrusion,
My income liberal and sure.
I'm sick of daily scratching gravel
I long to have the means to travel
In strange and unfrequented ways;
All. well. the lane must have a turning,
And I shall be acclaimed some day;
Fond hope within me still is burning
l. too. am working on a play.

MIR. TAFr ON THE TARIFF.

1t is reported by Walter Wellman in
the Chicago Record Herald that during
his recent visit to Washington Mr..
Taft made it plain that he wants
genuine revision of the tariff, revision
which bears in mind the consumer as
well as the producer and manufactur-
er. This is just exactly how the vot-
ers of the country, the great, great ma
jority of whom are consumers, regis
tered their voice on the election day
in this regard. And if the tariff revis-
ion is to be worthy of it's name it must
be accomplished in this way. Although
the tariff revision hearings before the
ways and means committee of the house
of representatives have been few so far
it is plainly apparent that the only
way the producer and the manufac-
turer want the tariff revised is through
an increase of the tariff schedules on
their wares except in many instances
as to the raw materials which they use.
AS has been pointed out in these col
umns before the consumer does not
deal in raw materials, and it might be
well for the consumers throughout the
country to perfect a few organizations
and send delegations to the ways and
means committees hearings for the pur-
pose of making their ideas on the sub
ject clear to the tariff revisers.
