KANSAS COMMENT
IT OUGHT 70 BE TRIJE.

/
Lincoln J. Stef1ins. who has con-
tributed much that is important, and
some that Is not 50 important, to
the programme of revelations in the
magazines, writes an interesting
article about Rudolph Spreckles, and
the anti-graft fight in San Francisco.
A picture of complete goodness
often arouses the suspicion that the
painter has drawn more strongly on
his imagination than upon nature for
mis- study, and in this respect Steffins'
writings of the notables whom he
their own purpose. The lather seems
to be laid on too thick to get natural
result But it Is to be hoped that in
the San Francisco matter Steff1ns is
writing the truth. the whole truth
and nothing but what the facts
warrant.
Spreckles, the man who is financ-
Ing the Frisco graft fight, and furnish
ing the courage and the determine
ton that have made the fight SO far
successful, is represented as being
without other interest than to clean
up the town And having cleaned up
San Francisco, SpreckIes will. his
narrator saysey move r. on to other
strongholds of graft. until municipal
crookedness in all its present active
centers will become a hazardous occu-
patton.
There has been some inquiry in
connection with Mr.. Spreckles' work
in San FRANCISCO. as to what personal
ends Mr.. Spreckles wasi seeking to
serve, and it was a natural inquiry.
While great many sincere and disin-
terested men are working at reform.
not many go at it to the extent that
Mr.. Spreckles is working it without
having personal and selfish motive.
Thine question as to what office a man
is running for, what personal scheme
he is trying to put through, or what
set Of personal enemies he is trying
to punish, when he places money and
newspaper advertising and a detective
bureau behind a reform campaign
cynicisn, but OF wisdom gathered
world.
There is great hope that Mr.. Speck-
les does not want to be United
States senator, that he does not want
to be governor, that he Is not seeking
to satisfy a personal grudge, nor force
any interest into a compromise. And
If Mr.. Spreckles does entertain the
natural ambition for~-place and fame,
in spite of himself and his biographer,
it may be hoped that the truth may be
revealed to him-if it has not, already
that the man who Is big enough to
reform his home town or his home
state without asking for something is
bigger than senator OR governor.
One such man, wearing gracefully
such reward as unselfiSh patrio tisn
gives, will do more than clean up San
Francisco. He will clean up good
many other communities, and a good

A NEW CHRONOLOGY.

1.-THE classified heading, Suicides of
Day has taken its place among the
devices by which the modern newspa-
per condenses information in order to
get all the news within the compass of
Its crowded pages" says the Chicago
Tribune. During the year 1907 there
were nearly II 900 cases of suicide re-
ported in the press. The average per
day was just about thirty. That appall-
ing record marked a small advance
over 1906, when there were more than
10000 instances of self-destruction SINH
larly reported. Suicide has ceased to
be an exceptional thing 1t has gained
an alarming hold upon a restless race.
In 1907 the number exceeded that which
included all the homicides, lynchings,
hunting accidents, and sporting or holi-
day casualties of the twelve months.
The loss from mining accidents might
be added to this list and still the rec
ord of suicide would take precedence.
"One-fifth Of the deaths by self act
were charged against domestic infelic-
ity.' Such a category calls attention to
another classified heading much in
vogue, Divorces of the Week The peo-
pie who are not mixed up in such
matters are not much disturbed by the
tales which are recounted week after
week by applicants for a dissolution of
marital ties. They probably give little
thought to the steady development of
divorce as a factor in modern life.
There Is ground for serious considera-
ton of the state of society in the world
of today when the number of suicides
and divorces becomes SO great as to
take away individual interest in what
should be the exceptional and infre-
quent and force the newspapers to
classified headings under which such
happenings are recorded as matters of
course, to be expected daily"

literal report. so to speak, OF the inter-
view.
OF all intelligence we should natural
ly suppose that those which are freed
from earthly environments-from ham
pering pain and from the various bur-
dens and limitations of the flesh
should be able to speak most clearly.
most sublimely indeed on any possible
subject. And yet hitherto the trivial
and commonplace, disjointed, irrele-
want and bunglingly framed commune
cation has been SO common as to be
almost the rule. 1t has tended to dis
credit the whole contention.
If Sir Oliver can get the spirits talk
ing about something worth listening to
drop out the twaddle, the poor Eng
lish and rhetoric to which they have
been prone-and reveal something Of
the elevation and essence attributed to
spiritual nfe-he may mark a distinct
advance in bringing two worlds to a
more intelligent understanding. But
the mere announcement that he has
been in communication with the spirits
Of the departed does not amount to
much. Many people hear the voices
of spirits but 1t is not long after they
begin to hear them that they are
locked up in lunatic asylums.

about the dieting Of fat husbands.

Col. Harvey smiled.
"The diet need not be unsavory," he
resumed; land speaking of unsavory
things, I recall a certain greenhorn
cook.
"This greenhorn cook lived with one
of the leading families of my native
Peacham. On Christmas day, as soon
as the burning Christmas pudding had
been portioned out, a general cry of
horror rose from the Christmas feast
