| trip at o'clock in the afternoon. Stops
will be made at each intermediate sta
ton between the termini of the service.
This service will be in the nature of
an experiment But there is little doubt
that the passenger traffic it will develop
viii make it more than worth the while
for the company. It Is not unreasonable.
therefore, to assume that. it will become
a perrnanency.
The advantages to Topeka that will
accrue from this service are apparent
at a glance. The towns between here
and Emporfa are many. and of thriving
caHber. They are the centers of COM
munities which are rich in agricultural
and mining pursuits. The schedule of
this motor car service is such that the
people in these places will be enabled
to leave home in the morning. transact
a lot Of personal business which it is
scarcely possible for them to do at
home, and return home at a seasonable
hour in the afternoon. Not only will
those bent on business be benefited by
the service. 1t will attract the pleas
ure seekers in crowds. those folks in
the country who are always glad of an
opportunity to pass an occasional day in
good-sized city where there are things
worth seeing and where all sorts of
good amusements and entertainments
are available. And so this service will
mean quite as much to the people in
the towns along the hne Of it as it will
mean to Topeka. The extent of its
value to this city is difficult of meas
lrement, hut that it will be extensive
in a variety OF ways almost goes with
out saying.
Thus does Topeka score another bulls
eye in her contest for growth and devel-
opment as a business center and in
other ways. The thanks for it are due
to the officials of the Santa Fe and will
be extended to them in no niggardly
fashion.

a sATTTRDAy sERMON.

But he that fateth his brother is in
darkness, and walketh in darkness, and
knoweth not wither he goeth, because that
darkness hath blinded him. John I'LL.
Surely there is nothing finer than
the doctrine of brotherIy love; not
brotherly love in the mere literal
meaning of the words but a love that
is Astounding, the love of man for all
men. There is too little of 1t in the
world today. There always has been
for that matter. But in these days
of modernity selfishness seems to be
prevalent to a greater extent than It
ever has been before. And selfish
ness breeds hate. The failures in life
dislike intensely the successes and the
latter have aversion even for the
former because they still block the
way to larger achievements. This is
as true in the business world as it is
in the one which revolves around the
social affairs Of mankind.
How much more desirable would be
the conditions surrounding the work
and play of all persons If some of
this jealousy which prevails on all
sides were suppIanted with a brother
desire and a willingness on the part
the less successful strugglers along;
to tighten their way and their loads in
every possible manner?
1t is so much easier, though. to
preach about things of this sort than
1t is to do them. There are times.
and many of them. when men and
women appear to go out of their way
in the creation OF provocation for
&e al hun
sons not to be infiamed with extreme
dislike at such acts as these. Why,
even Jesus at Nazareth. the great
teacher, than whom no one ever had
greater love for man. who went will
lingIy to the cross on Calvary that all
men might be saved, was unable not
to hate at times. He is said to have
hated the deeds of the Nicolaitanes;
his language showed that he loathed
the .Iukewarmness of the Laodiceans;
he detested the hypocrisy of the
scribes and Pharisees; and he alb
horred the suggestions of the tempter
in the wilderness. He may well be
excused, though, for these expressions
of dislike because they were directed
against evil of the worst sort. That
should be hated by every one. One
of the great troubles is that there is
not enough hatred Of the evil things.
Indeed, there is altogether too much
of it against the things which are
good; and too much of it of the per-
sonal sort, of intense feelings of dis
like between man and man where
nothing of evil is involved.
This is the hate that comes in for
reproof; and such reprobation can
not be too severe. The malignity with
this sort of aversion is that it is
coupled with a strong desire that dis
tressing and disagreeable things
should befal the person. or persons,
toward whom the feeling is directed.
That is what makes the personal
hatred of men for each other sol
vicious. And perhaps the strongest
condemnation that has ever been d.
rected against such hatred as this,
against the lack of brotherly love. was
given by the Apostle John in the
third chapter of his first letter to the
Ephesians when he wrote Who
soever hateth his brother is muir
derer: and We know that no muir
derer hath eternal life abiding in

FROM OTHER PENS
MUNICIPAL SCANDALS.
And now it is Chicago. Am

And now it is Chicago. America
can hardly hope to get away from
municipal scandals so long as it main
tains a scheme of municipal govern
ment that offers unlimited opportu-
nifty for corrupt practices. In st.
in the city council. In Pittsburg it
the city council in conspiracy with
contractors for public work. In San
Francisco it was the wholesale brib-
cry Of the city board. In Chicago it
is the police department.
But everywhere municipal scandals
are directly traceable to the loose sys-
tenn of civic rule that places no direct
responsibility anywhere and exacts no
direct accountability from anyone in
the public service.
Chicago announces that conditions
may be worse there even than they
were revealed to be in San Francisco,
and, of course, the people will demand
the punishment of the guilty individu-
ais. But the imprisonment of hood
ling officials offers no permanent re-
formation in style of municipal gov
eminent where boodling is possible.
The satisfaction of vengeance upon
culprits does not insure honesty or
efficiency in public servants for the
future.
Municipal scandals are the natural
result of system Of government that
affords a retreat and hiding place for
incompetent and dishonest place hunt
ers. Where there is no direct respon-
sibility to render clean, efficient serv-
'ce it is morally certain that the peo-
pie will not get that kind of govern
ment.-Kansas City Times.

Gently issued an admirable and novel
bulletin on the subject of plant pest
treatment. In a few pages compare

hensive list Of the commoner ills
plants are heir to. Then another list
gives the appropriate treatment. while
a third tells the most effective time
to do the work. These three schedules
are connected by cross references so
that they are made easily available to
anyone.
In most cases the grower knows
only too well what is the matter with
his crop. If he does not the bureau
invites him to send specimens of af-
fected growth securely packed so no
danger of spreading infection or risk
of damaging by mail may be incurred.
Many grower has watched the
