The Only Use He Knew.

At length the reader came to the

Sing the Lord with thanksgiving. Psalm mn.

lonely. The power to hear what
natures voices have to say is in our
hearts, not merely in the ear. We
must have the beauty in our souls be-
fore we can see beauty anywhere.
Hence there are many who are really
blind to the loveliness which God has
strewn everywhere, with most lavish
hand. in his works. So we must have
the music in our heart before we can
hear the music which sings every
where for him who has ears to hear.
If we have thanksgiving within us, we
will have no trouble in finding glad
ness wherever we go. 1t is a sad and
cheerless heart that makes the world
seem dreary to certain people; If only
they will let Joy enter to dwell within,
new world would be created for
them. II we allow our heart to cher
ish unlovingness, bitterness, evil
thoughts or feelings, we cannot hear
the music of love which breathes
everywhere, pouring out from the
heart of God. But if we keep our
heart gentle, patient, lowly. and kind,
on our ears will fall, wherever we go,
sweet strains of divine music.
Then glad life makes life. OF
gladness wherever 1t goes. 1t leaves
an unbroken lane of sunbeams behind
it. Everybody is better as well as hap
pier for meeting one whose Christian
life radiates gladness and cheer. We
can do nothing better either for our
selves or for the world in which we
live than to learn the lesson of praise
and of thanksgiving. Let us learn to
sing unto the Lord with thanksgiv-
ing" There are troubles in every
life, but there are a thousand good
things for one trial. Sometimes we
have disappointments but even these
are really Gods appointments, as
some day we shall 6nd out. If people
are unkind to us, we must go on low
ing just as before, our hearts full of
unconquerable kindness, and it will
finally win. The most deep-seated ten
dency to sadness can be overcome and
replaced by happy cheerfulness. The
gospel of Christ comes to us and tells
us that we must be born again, born
from above. born of God. and our very
vine grace assures us that it is not
impossible even for the most unholy
life to be transformed into holiness.

GET TOGETHER

1t can not be disguised that there
is a wide demand for a direct state
primary law. Now that the Judgment
of the governor deemed it wise to
convene the special session, regard
less Of adverse views, for the main
purpose of securing a primary law,
it is proper and advisable for the
house and senate to get together and
do something. A deadlock is not the
thing. The wisdom and opinions on
primary legislation are not all in the
senate, nor all in the house.
With all it's virtue, the house has
no monopoly on that grace and with
the short comings one faction alleges
of the senate that body still has Its
good points. If there is lodge in the
senate there is a fraternity in the house,
and between lodges and fraternities the
public recognizes a distinction rather
than a difference.
The senate this session has already
conceded primary without the HkeH-
hood of a convention following. This
differs widely from the senate's stand
at the regular session, and to the lack
of this concession at that time was
largely due the failure of the reg
uldr session TO enact a primary law.
The senate has sprung a variety of
new ideas, but it is likely in the end
not to be tenacious of more than the
one point of a divided primary for
United States senator. AS this division
appeals quite generally to a big pal t
of the public it might seem advisable
for the house to make this concession.
Unless the house does this, a primary
measure may fail and the public may
be led to the conclusion that this was
just what the Stubbs crowd deep in
their hearts desired: namely, that by
insisting upon having their own way in
all things they might drive the senate
to obstinacy, prevent the passage of
any bill and enable them to go into an
Immediate campaign with what they
would call their pet primary issue.
The Topeka state journal., 1908-01-23

manded some return for its aims, and
that New York would be disappointed
in the quantity of stone Quarried on
Blackwell's Island. During a period
of stress there is generally human
tide that sets towards the larger CEN
ters expecting that provision will be
made for it. But that any consider
able portion of it is bent on rendering
service for what it may receive is ex-
tremely doubtful.
At any rate, in more than one in
stance experience has taught that this
army, flying signals of distress, has
preferred to break up and beg from
door to door rather than to frequent
relief stations at which it was con-
fronted by toll. OF late there has
been an exceptional demand for un-
skilled labor. and in localities which
have not been seriously affected by
the financial upheaval. The fact that
that demand has not been supplied
gives color to the assumption that the
element which at present is seeking
aid is, for the most part, shiftless and
lazy. If the contrary is proved to be
true it may be regarded as a very
encouraging symptom.

IN BAD TASTE.

It seems to have come with bad
grace, to say the least, for the Re-
publicans in the house, headed by Mr..
Stubbs, to rush through the resolu-
ton endorsing Mr.. Taft's candidacy
for the presidency. It is we'll
known. as well as happy fact. that
the Republicans of Kansas are al
most unanimous for Mr.. Taft, but it
is unseemly to place the legislature Of
the state by means Of a majority vote
on record in this particular in view
of the fact that there are men of 9TH
er than Republican political faith in
the legislature. Besides being un-
seemly because of the presence of
Democrats in the body, there was no
particular reason for the adoption of
the resolution unless Mr.. Stubs
thought he could make a little politi-
cal capital out of the fact that he in
trOduced it.

NO RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

There is not likely to be any rail-
way legislation during this special
session. There is little demand for
it and apparently no real need. Gov
ernor Hoch in his message said that
among all the letters he had received
urging the special session not one re-
ferred to railroad legislation.
The fact of it is things are in pretty
good shape at present. We have the
two cent fare through the order Of
the board and it will stand unless the
courts knock it out. 1t was the ad-
vice of the board and of the attorney
for the board that no two cent fare
bill be enacted. We have the fare in
practice and to be too technical we
may lose it, or losing it, we may re-
vert to the three cent fare, while at
present If the state should lose it's
two cent service it could fall back up
on the two cent mileage book law still
in force on the statutes.
The railroad board is thrashing out
a number of things covering passenger
and freight rates that between it and
the courts may result to the public
fairness without injustice to the roads.
The enactment of any new laws COW
ering the railroads at present could
scarcely do any good to the people and
would harm the credit of the railroads
which desire more funds in these
critical times with which to improve
their service, track and equipment.
The house committee in reporting ad-
versely last night against the passage
of a two cent fare bill evidently did
the right thing.
