KANSAS COMHENT

DeaSoH TO erect a ten-Story office

Alsneo exclusively by home folks is
interesting for several reasons. A ten
story office building in a Kansas
town IS something of an assurance
tnal Kansas is s'going some" and an
investment of that sort promoted en-

1t has been an established fact in
towns like Ottawa that a foreign pro-
moter with a prospectus printed in
three colors and a line of talk re-
nearsed from the Universal Manual
for agents, could get farther and sur

man with a substantial eight to ten
per cent home proposition could in
ten years. Ottawa has not been Pc
cullar IN this matter; all towns have
mad the habit, and it will be interest

are going to take the form of invest

motors who secure bonuses for invest

HONOR TO THE RED MAN.
Of Toll, lxc n r.
vanced the scheme Of erecting great
statue of an Indian at the entrance
of New York harbor. a sort of COM
panion piece of the statue of liberty.
The Indian Is to be posed with out
stretched arms and open hands. well
coming the stranger to our shores.
Young Mr.. Wanamaker has good
idea and he should perfect it. The IN
dian should not only have out
stretched arms but he should have
sca1ping knife and a tomahawk con-
cealed in his blanket or in his leg
gings. He should have plenty of paint
on his face, feathers in his hair and a
ring in his nose. 1t would certainly
give the European a pleasant feeling
to be welcomed in this manner by a
statue of the earliest settler.
1t is time America was doing some
thing for the Indian. We have taken
his land and his habits away from
him. We have given him clothes, ed
ucation, booze and beef. Sometimes
the white settler has not been cere-
monious in acquiring title to the In
dian land, but he has always gotten
1t, and that is what counts with white
men and red men. A statue of Sitting
Bull or Crazy Snake or Hole-fn-Hfs-
Pants would make a splendid orna-
ment for New York harbor and
would be fitting token of respect to-
the people who have moved out and
let us in.
Incidentally it would be a good ad
for Misunderstanding News.

TO THE DANDELIoN.

The dandelion now observe
The freshest plant of all.
1t has the most exalted nerve
The most colossal gall.
Get all you cam so runs its creed,
And give blame sight less;
These are the simple rules that lead
To glittering success
When other flowers have closed their eyes
The dande1ion 1abors,
And everlastingly it tries
10 overcome its neighbors.
The bluegrass and the clover flee
Before its competition;
It has social sympathy
To check its fierce ambition.
Although its harm is something great,
Its worthlessness sublime,
1t gets a lot of real estate
BY roofing all the time.
so nerve and front and diligence
win surely. take US far,

wise, than for a man to hear the song of
a fool. Ecclesiastes Wits.
Not many persons are to be found
selves as not to give cause of reproof
or censure. f"To be without rebuke"-
is rarity among human beings. And
at the same time the number of per-
sons who are prone to look upon just
reprfmands and proper admonitions
from their elders among their
friends and relatives. and even from
the authority of the law as be-
ing out of place and obnoxious. is al
together too large. Such persons
make a great mistake. Not only do
they place themselves in a con-
temptuous attitude which mars their
regulations, but they also deny them
selves the possibility of developing
characters of force and stability.
An individual, no matter what his
age may be, is never too old to learn.
No matter how wise he may be, or,
rather, how wise he thinks he is,
there are plenty of others who are
far wiser in all things. They have
generally gained this wisdom through
wider experience in life and their
demonstrations against the untoward
acts of others are usually well made
and should be needed. No man be-
Titles himself, either, in giving mind
fulness to such reprovals. Rather
does he show good sense and an in
telligence that shows he is willing to
profit by his mistakes which may be
pointed out to him.
In the wider Interpretation of the
word "rebuke'' as found in the text,
comes criticism" And there is no
greater help to the strugglers In all
fields of Nendeavor than honest
criticism of their failings and mis-
takes OF course, there is a lot of
stuff scattered broadcast which mas
querades under the designation of
Criticism but which is far from
being the real thing. 1t is nothing
more than the rawlings of the
egotistical, those individuals who
have a misconception Of their own
Importance and the powers of their
minds; who develop fancies and
theories about all things under the
sun which are at variance with the
correct ones. They toss them to
friends and the public merely to at
tract notice. 1t is not difficult to
separate the wheat from the chaff in
criticism, and that of the false variety
brings nothing but smiles and ridicule
for its promulgators from all per-
sons except those who are intel
lectually weak or morally prevented.
But the true and the honest criti-
cism is helpful, or should be if it is
given in the right spirit and accepted
in the same way. The man who pays
no attention to it, who shuns it as
though it was poison, who feels his
dignity insulted if he is admonished
by his friends to do things differently
that man is not going to attain
much of measure of success in life's
battles. He will find that 'going it
alone is a way where the path is
short and where the pitfalls are
many. Rebukes of the wise, the criti-
cisms justly given, are the bulwarks
of civilized society. And more heed
should be paid to them by every one
who has desires to amount to any

Fight to Preserve AIligators.

The Florida house of representatives
Thursday passed the bill allowing the
slaughter Of alligators along the Ockla-
waha river and its tributaries. The bill
Is intended to protect the hogs on the
farms along these streams.
The passage Of the bill by the house
is a great disappointment to a large
element, which argues that many
northerners and others come to Florida
to watch the gators, and, incidentally,
leave behind them many good dollars.
Opposition to the bill will be continued.
