Evelyn Thaw's ALoye.'

EfeiyH lHuW Low.
What do you think about her now
that kitty-cat little woman called
Evelyn Thaw? Her own claim to
the sympathy of decent folks was
her love and devotion to the no-ac-
count fellow who married her, know
ing of her miserable past. We heard
lot about the Bible verse, She
loved much, and in her much is for
given;" and if she had been faith
I full to love we could almost have
forgiven her; but if she had ever
really loved him she would not now
be seeking divorce. if she had any
good in her, her whole soul would
be permeated with love and sympa-
thy for the man who, with all his
faults, has been faithful to his love
for her. Fidelity may not sanctify
a bad love, but it at least makes it
respectable. Much as we condemn a
soulless kitty-cat woman, we have
sympathy for her if she is faithful
to the love she processes and to the
lover who loves her. We can all
| feel for the woman who loved a
wicked man, and said
"Oh, what is love made for if It's
not the same
In Joy and sickness, in sorrow and
shame;
I know not, ask not if quilts in
thy heart;
II but know that / love thee what
ever thou art
But one might as well expect the
snowflower Of the Alps, the edel-
weis, to grow amidst tropic heat as
to expect the virtues of fidelity and
| faithful love from such nature as
that of Evelyn Thaw
A Wise and Thoughtful School Board
VIE are glad to correct state
ment that we made in last weeks
Star in regard to the doors of the
Public school building in Winches-
ter We were not aware that they
had been changed to open outward
until we saw in last Saturdays Star
the interview with Mr.. G. G.. Baker,
of the building committee. We are
glad to note that the school board
was wise enough to prevent
catastrophe by getting ready for it,
but the members of the board do
their good work SO quietly that
many persons fail to note them. AS
! is well known nearly ell the doors
! in public buildings open in such
way that panic would close them;
an apology TO the school board Of
our city, and to note the fact of
their thoughtful care for the safety
only a mad rush of people against
an inward closing door and the place
IS a fire-trap. We are glad to make
of the little ones. If only Collin

Many of Cookies poems were pub

Cooke had resolved to give up other
pursuits and devote himself to his
pen, the summons came. Both Phil

BETTER COAL PRICES
New Rate From Colorado in Effect
and Benefits Consumer.

The movement started here last yeal
to get lower freight rates from Colorado
has been successful. Congressman Madi-
sons energetic work after he went to
Washington secured an early hearing be-
fore the commission, and the result was
an order to lower the rates on coal to
Dodge City and other points along the
line where the people haye been getting
the worst of it.
The rate has gone into effect and the
reduction is taken from the retail selling
price in Dodge City, so that the consum-
er gets the benefit. The saving will be
quite an item in Dodge City.

One of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by, e. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home Is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: "Some time ago | read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most i'll health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, it wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
81 am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has really remarkable medicine,

PRIMARY LAW PASSED.
Kansas Will Have the Opportunity of
Trying Direct Nominations BY
the Voters.

Yesterday settled the matter Of Pr
mary Election law In Kansas, and thu
measure adopted has some of the chic
objections eliminated. The law will be 6
much better one than the bill as origin
ally drawn would have been.
Everybody has admitted at all times
that The principal of nominations direct
by the people is right, but there has been
diversity of opinion as to how differ
ent proposed laws would work.
The bill as it will SO into law has the
original Democratic plank of the Stubs
bill cut out, and makes big concession
in the manner of nominating United
s ates senator.
1t Is believed that the law will be
satisfactory to the majority of the people
of Kansas. 1t will be an experiment as
to how 1t will effect the state as a whole,
and without doubt the eastern part of
the state will be in pretty good position
to run state affairs regardless of the
thinly settled western portion. but we
are coming to the front out in this coun-
try and in a few years will have enough
people to take our own part.
In getting the agreement on the pri-
nary bill, the efforts of Lieutenant Gov.
of Dodge City, were largely
for success. This fact was
recognized and commented upon by the
Capital, and by all of the different
actions in the legislature
