KANSAS COMMENT
TARIFF REVISION.

The Western Retail Implement Deal
erS association, at its meeting in Kan
sas City last Thursday, declared for
tariff revision. The association pur-
poses TO nave the desired changes in
schedules made by competent persons.
Inere are few important things that
ought not to be overlooked when We
come TO discuss a revision of the tariff.
In the first place, it must be conceded
that a tariff is essential We must
nave money to build the Panama canal
and few more big battIeships. besides
a sum sufficient to pay the running ex-
penseS OF the government. People prefer
an lndlrect to a direct tax and the
most convenient way to collect an in
direct tax is by tariff tax on i'm
ports.
Another thing that ought not to be
overlooked is that a verv large ma
jority of the American people are on
posed to having high protective tariff
on Such manufactured articles as are
controlled by trusts.
There can be no tariff levied on
articles such as are manufacturers in
this country without giving a measure
OF protection to somebody Now right
mere comes the sensible suggestion of
the Western Implement Dealers as
ISOLATION. The retailers propose to
nave competent persons go over the
schedules and determine how and
where the tariff ought to be reduced.
what a great majority of the people
protection on manufactured products,
war.
The average fellow who butts into
the tarlff discussion will not be honest
with the people. The free trader will
claim that all protective tariffs are
simply robbery of the people, and the
protected industries claim everything
IN sight and stand pat against re-
vision all along the line What the
people are now demanding is that
there be revision of the tariff along
such lines as will be fair alike to the
manufacturer and the consumer. In
order to do that the suggestion of the
western Retail Implement Dealers as
Soc1atlon Will have to be adopted and
competent persons selected to make
the desired tariff revision.-Wichita

MATRIMONIAL SLAVERY.
A little New York woman has had
papers served on her husband for the
annulment of her marriage. on the
ground that she is held in involuntary
servitude3 that cooking, scrubbing,
washing and mending for the family,
constitutes slavery. 1t is doubtless true
that such work, to some women, does
not constitute the bright side of mar
ried life. but a woman should know
that before she enters the contract.
And 1T is not exactly the American
spirit to halt at such Incidents. The
country is full of women who cook,
and sew, and wash, and bear children.
and are reasonably well satisfied with
life at that Without such women
the country would hardly have been
what it is today. 1t is the common
lot to work a good deal between the
cradle and the grave, if the interim is
long, and this New York woman's ac-
ton compels the conclusion that she
is a spoiled child.-Atchison Globe.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR LAMBERT's
DEATH.

The investigation of the coroner
jury into the causes of L. E. Lambert s
death discloses the same condition OF
neglect for all fire regulations that
would be shown in most of the other
hotels in Kansas. The provision of the
law that a rope escape be provided IN
each room was ignored entirely and
the provision that the fire department
make quarterly examination of the
hotel to see that these precautions are
in existence was also disregarded- 1t
was shown in the testimony that the
Topeka fire department paid no atten-
ton to this requirement. How many
fire departments are guilty of the same
disregard of law?-Wichita Beacon.

swarthx Americans.

Prof. William u. RipIey's specula-
tions about the future American type
are timely. In his Atlantic Monthly
article he declares that among the mil
lions of immigrants and their children
in this country the process of race in
termixture has but begun. Until now
the aliens of the various nationa1ities
have never mixed appreciably. The
process is becoming noticeable in the
intermarriageS between persons of
italian and Irish extraction, while the
Irish women in their general freedom
from racial prejudice, their social and
housewffely qualities, may exercise a
profound influence in the blending of
bloodS that is "Sure to assume tre-
mendous proportions From this
blending. upon scale that is grander
than ever before witnessed, resultant
distinctively American, type or types,
will undoubtedly appear. The influx
of foreigners and their relatively
higher birth rate will wholly submerge
the native "Anglo-Saxon' stock,
though it should not submerge its civ
ilization and its ideals. Prof. Ripley
looks for a physical reversion to a
running back to a time before the
separation of European varieties of
men began He buttresses his sur
mise by reference to the law of re-
version by crossing highly evolved
varieties of birds and animals, as
follows:
MANY OL US are 1diHlI1dT VIII IAo
evidence; such as reversion among
sheep to the primary dark type; and
the emergence of the old, wild blue
rock pigeon from the blending of the
fantail and pouter or other varieties
The same law is borne out in the veg
etable world, the facts being well
known to fruit growers and horti-
culturists. The more recently acquir-
ed characteristics, especially those

Synagogue, New York, in his address on
Moral Bankruptcy" at the Twentieth
Century Club Saturday.
What if Massachusetts, and New
York have measurably efficient child
labor laws SO long as the capital of
Massachusetts and New York builds
factories in Southern States and there
employs child labor?' he asked. "The
moral bankruptcy which obtains today
is caused by discrepancy between our
asetS and our moral liabilities. Our
assets consist for the most part of the
old individualistic, patched over, reli-
gion salved conscience, and the liabili-
ties are social and aIl-incIusive. If it
be true that social efficiency is the
measure of both religion and morality
then we are morally bankrupt for our
civilization is socially inefficient, waste
full, ruinous.

needed that shall translate morality
into terms of life. We need to deal
directly with what have been called

Growing Demand for Homes Near the
Business Center.

In spite of the fact that the city is
reaching out TO the foothills in its
growth, there is a class of business men
who need to live CLOSE in" They de-
mand pretty modern homes near the
business center, where they will be in
dependent of the street cars. Just such
houses are difficult to get. as property
down town is too valuable for small
home owners, and all vacant lots are
rapidly being occupied by stores and
apartment houses.
To meet this need, the pretty resi-
denCe street, Hamilton Place was
opened, and the attractive modern bun
galows are finding a ready sale The
two on the corner of Sixth South and
Hamilton Place were sold before they
were finished, and two others were re-
ported sold this week.
The street has a very attractive ap-
pearanCe with lawns, paving and side
walks completed, and an old Spanish
mission arch at the head in which lights
are placed that illuminate the thorough
fare at night. The bungalows are artis-
tice and modern in every respect, and
make most satisfactory homes for peo-
pie Of moderate means.
