These words form a small portion
of the advice given by the great apostle,
Paul. to Titus, who was ordained the
first bishop of the church of the Gre
tians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
And this advice is just >as good for
each and every person of today as it
was for Titus in those years so long
ago.
If there is one thing that people who
are DESTROYS of living in peace and con-
tentment should avoid it is contentious
of all sorts, including chickering's and
strivings about the law. It is seldom
that anything comes of them except
continued discomfort and that is Meth
er good for man nor beast. Most of
them are unnecessary and serve abso-
lutely no purpose. Any individual can
prove this for himself by rejecting on
his own experiences. If he is honest
he will admit to himself. at least, that
many of the contentious he has en-
gagged in with acquaintance and
friends, and with relatives, too, even
the more serious ones. could have been
averted, and that without much effort.
The inevitable result would have been
that he would be on better terms with
them than he is today, and a peace of
mind that he knows not of would pre-
vail with him.
Contentious are the easiest things in
the world to get into and they are just
as easily avoided If there is any dis
position so to do. There are many per-
sons that go through life who are prac-
tically strangers to them. They ac-
complish these most desirable ends by
being charitable in their judgment of
others, by being justly tolerant of the
rights of other to their ideas and opin-
ions, by treating their associates in
exactly the same way that they would
like to be treated themselves, with a
justice and fairness in all things.
If the ways of these folks were only
emulated by everyone, and particularly
the chronic contenders, those persons
who are always looking for an argu-
ment or dispute on any and every
proposition, what a much better place
this world would be to live in. OF
course, it is well nigh impossible to
believe or to hope that the people of
the earth are ever going to reach a
plane where there will be no such
things as contentious among them.
Once in a while they are almost as
necessary as they are always distress
ing, but the greater portion of them
can be avoided with a minimum OF
care and effort, and this is an end that
everybody will find to be worth striv-
ing for.

A WIDESPREAD OBJECTION.


If Senator Dolliver expressed the
opinion of only a western state or two
in his protest against the cotton and
wool schedule of the senate tariff he
would represent a Republican oppose
ton calling for serious consideration.
But Senator Dolliver voices a wide
spread objection. 1t is only in the
West that many Republicans have a
desire to see rates horizontally adj
vanced by new classification, whose
effect is not clear and whose result
cannot be known, but which are GER
tain to advance rates. A revision up
wards is not wanted or desired by
public opinion. The rates which were
high enough IL years ago in the Ding
ley tariff are certainly high enough
now, after IL years growth in our
manufactures.

A HoRN1lEss CAFE.

The resurrection of the Commercial
club is one of the business marvels of
Topeka, and yet there are those,
few, now and then one, who are bit
terly complaining of the MONDAY life
on the top floor of the Commerce
building. They say it is hurting the
restaurant business, and that the
restaurant keepers are entitled to a
living; that the Commercial club has
no business to be in business.
About the only opposition the Topeka
Commercial club finds in its work for
the progress and prosperity of Topeka
lies in what is said restaurant keepers
say and what several of their alleged
friends do say. The fact of the matter
is that most of these complaints seem
to come from the overstrained i'm
aginative faculties of the pretended
friends of the caterers; said friends,
not even always being patrons of the
downtown dining rooms.

A HOTEL DE LUXE.

Topeka, needs now, of all things a
hotel that is worth while-that is
worth half a million.
We have good hotels, we'll patron
lied, but we need and want one bet
ter than all the rest-one which will
stand for Topeka as the Robidoux
stands for st. Joseph, the Baltimore
for Kansas City, the Conner for Jop-
lin. the Oliver for South Bend, the
New Lee for Oklahoma City.
A hotel man came into this office
few days ago stealthily, closing the
door softly behind him and looking
about him as If the walls had ears,
said: For Heavens sake stop talking
| about a new big hotel for Topeka. 1t
would ruin u.s.
Now that man is a good man and a
good citizen and a good hotel keeper
but he seems to want Topeka to stay
right where it is He is nearsighted
as citizen and personally; otherwise
he would realize that fine large new
hotel would bring more people here,
would make those people stay longer,
would secure perpetual good word
| from travelling men and would make
Topeka a great convention city.
Everybody could not and would
| not stop at the big hotel. The con-
ventions and the business brought
here by a great hotel would fill the
others, and keep them full.
There is no reason why Topeka
| should not have at least two hundred
conventions a year. That is four a
| week Oklahoma City had that
| many last year. We have Oklahoma
| City Skinned mile as the boys
say. If we only knew it and would
| only furnish hotel accommodations
and do few other things in our
power.
A great many people may be
appalled, when we talk of a 100000
hotel for Topeka. But when they
have this feeling they are simply
| behind the times. They do not
realize that cities of our size and
smaller have such hotels and that
| they pay the towns to have them
| The Robidoux hotel in st. Joe which
cost S633,0O0, and which was built
over the protests of knockers who
| said it would not pay, is paying al
| that it was estimated it would pas
and is arranging for an addition tc
provide 100 more rooms.
| The city of Hutchinson. much smaller
| than this one, has what is said to b'
the best hotel in the state and is nov
building a new five story hotel To
peka has an ideal site for a hotel, bu
preparations are under way to use i
for two or three story business house
We have the money and enterprise
here to build a hotel worthy of thu
city, but both are diverted to the ex
tent of many millions of dollars ant
energy to outside enterprises too ia
away to watch, many of which promis
fortunes, but do, not earn per cent.
| Will we some day wake up to tn
fact that we must ourselves show TIL
confidence and invest the capital tina
will bring the confidence and capita
of others to our help and happiness.
