Because the number of births in
Topeka for the month of May were
only in the ratio of three to five as
compared with the number of deaths
the argument has been started on its
way that race suicide is prevalent
here. A walk through the residential
sections of the city where almost
countless children of all ages can be
seen frolicking about on the lawns or
getting an airing in baby buggies
would seem to furnish the best sort of
evidence to combat any such ridicu-
lous argument as this one.

Send inebriates to the hay fields
where the desire for drink can be
overcome by pure air, good food and
physical strength acquired on the
farm; force applicants for marriage
licenses to pass medical examinations ;
scare people into submitting to vac

medicine; and bar proprietary medi-
cines from the mails. These are a few
of the radical measures advocated at
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Medical association which was
held in Chicago last week,

All of the reviews of the various
business conditions in the country
were written in an agreeable tone con-
corning the affairs in the commercial
and industrial world during last week.
There is less idle machinery in the
leading industries than there has been
for some time. The noticeable i'm
provement during the past month in
commercial channels continues with
increasing vigor. The banks are in
better shape than they have been for
years. In fact the indications on every
hand are that prosperity is returning
with leaps and bounds. And it will
not be long now before the railroads.

1t is estimated that the assessed
valuation of the property in Kansas
for the purposes of taxation under the
new tax law will reach the grand total
OF 100000. This is probably
within hailing distance of the real
value of the property in the state and
is the biggest sort of an advertisement
that Kansas could have. The small
valuation of the property in the state
In years past has been a mighty poor
advertisement. 1t has given the peo-
pie of the country a decidedly made
quate idea as to just how prosperous
this commonwealth is

Two kinds of floods are raging in
Kansas Just now. These are the floods
of water in the rivers and the floods
of oratory which are flowing in great
volumes from the mouths of the
candidates for nominations for
various offices at the August pri-
maries. Would that the former were
as harmless as the latter.

Maybe the profits are large for the
time being in the unlawful sale or
