FOUNDED IN HONOUR. =

No doubt you have seen in the
papers such announcements as
this concerning some medicine or
other: If, on trial, you write
that this medicine has done you
no good we will refund your
money" Now, we have never
had reason to speak in that way
concerning the remedy named in
this article. In a trade extern
ding throughout the world, no.
body has ever complained that
our medicine has failed, or asked
for the return Of his money. The
public never grumbles at hon
estly and skillfully made bread,
or at a medicine which really
and actually does what it was
made to do. The foundations of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
are laid in sincerity and honour,
the knowledge of which on the
part of the people explains its
popularity and success. There is
nothing to disguise or conceal.

This record, which is one of the most
unique ever developed in the automo-
bile worlds and can be due TO but
one thing-the scrupulous workmanship
which distinguishes the Cadillac ssThir-
ty.''
Cadillac workmanship demands fine
ness of Mt so absolute that il can be
measured only in units of less than the
thickness of 81 single hair.
To this precision, then, the Cadillac
Thirty owes its almost frictionless
operation.
And to this precision Ia due the fact
that the thousands of cars now in con-
tinuous use in owners hands, have re-
quired practically no attention beyond
the ordinary care which the owner
should bestow on his car as a matter
of course.

The present automobile season has de-
veloped no single feature more remark
able than the absence of repair necessi-
ties wherever the Cadillac Thirty
is in use.
There is sameness and unanimisy
about the reports received from cities
all over the country that is striking.
TO say the least.
Thousands of these dependable cars
have been in constant use for months:
travelling thousands of miles under all
sorts of conditions, and the record as
shown by reports received from dealers
and owners is invariably the same.
Repair work-the least in motor car
history. Engine troubles-almost abso-
lutely absent.

The Lawrence papers are throwing
some well deserved bouquets at Mrs.
Harvey, a colored woman who yeSter-
day celebrated the forty-third ami
versary of her arrival there. When she
landed in Lawrence, she was penniless
and unable to read or write and had
but recently been released from sla-
very. She conducted her little cele-
bratiOn on her own farm of 1873 acres,
and was assisted in the festivities by
her sons, who are prosperous citizens
of Lawrence, having been given col
lege education by their mother. It is
pleasing to see the Lawrence papers
quit praising and discussing the poll
ticians long enough to say a few words
for this grand old colored woman, who
has offered the best solution of the
race problem.-Emporia Gazette.

NEWSPAPER ETHICS.

What's this? The newspapers of
Kansas, leading in the van of their
confreres throughout the world as
they do, or as they ought to do If
they don't, in the development of all
that is good and pure in thought and
in other things, are without a proper
code of ethics to guide them. This is
sad, almost too sad to be true. But
it apparently is the truth. Willis E.
Miller, Of the st. Marys Star, SO told
the editors at their recent annual
convention. He was so impressed
with this truth and with this rather
narrowing and calamItous condition
Of affairs that he had a committee ap-
pointed consisting of himself, Ewing
Herbert of the Hiawatha World and
J. S. Gilmore of the Fredonia Citizen
to proceed forthwith and develop a
plan to instiI a code of ethics into
the profession. OF course it will be
necessary for the committee to pre-
pare such a code, else how could they
go about with a scheme to inoculate
the knights of the shears and the
paste pot with it. That these commit
tee men have year in which to do
their labor is not only a good thing
for themselves but also for their
brethren, as a hastily manufactured
code of ethics might mean the pro-
mitigation of something that would
create a simply awful condition of af-
fairs in the newspaper world of the
Sunfiower state.
For it must be borne in mind that
there is such a thing as false ethics.
All the accepted definitions of this
rather mysterious thing called
"ethics" are to the effect that it is
particular system of principles and
rules concerning duty, whether-now
mark this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. true
or false. Perhaps no one will have
the temerity to dispute the assertion
of Mr. Miller and his ethical culture
committee, that certain newspaper
makers of Kansas are sorely in need
of a code of ethics. But there will be
many who will probably be willing to
join in the admonition that this COM
mittee best be careful in proceeding
with their work Let them cut no
fancy capers and become obsessed
with so much of the new thought"
which is floating around that they
will provide a code of ethics of the
false variety. If the editors of Kan
sas are to have a dose of ethics they
may be pardoned for insisting that
the medicine be of the true and
wholesome variety. If the members
of the committee deviate in the slight
est degree from the straight and mar
row path they had best watch out for
If they don't the COLLINS will surely

GLOBE SIGHTS.

CFrom the AtchiSon Globe
Abuse a man unjustly, and you will
make friends for him.
1t is easy to invent a scheme. but
difficult to make it work.
Every man must be something of a
diplomat in order to keep his friends.
The modern woman does not seem
to be as churchy as her old fashioned
sister.
It is all right for a man to use any
term complimentary to a woman ex-
cept to say she is affectionate.
Men are always shocked when a
woman who has been deceived by g.
man, insists on marrying him.
AS soon as a man outgrows a fool
ish notion, and drops 1t, a younger
man adopts it, and picks it up.
Most people make a mistake in not
and in rating themselves too high.
A woman should either not play the
game of love, or pay her losses as
cheerfully as she pockets her gains.
1t is horrible to think of, but if the

If men would only masticate their
food as thoroughly as they do their
tobacco, there would be less work for

Even when a man prays to be de-
livered from temptation, he is telling
himself that it isn't going to hurt him
to take a look at it.
The terOclty Win winch an unDe-
lever is punished by people who do
not believe themselves, is one of the
wonders of our civilization.
You have observed, no doubt, that
people tell you many things that are
of no benefit or interest to you. And
it is very likely others have observed
the same thing about your efforts at
conversation.
At the next meeting of the Lancas-
ter Literary society this will be de-
bated. what does a girl gain in fu-
ture rewards if she polishes up the

States, whose bayonets and warshlpS
had set the island free from the long
and corrupt domination of old SPAIN
Gratitude, If nothing else, was oe-
pended upon to work the change IN
favor of the liberators.
''Few, If any, of these roseate proph-
ecies have been realized, and recent
advices from the island show that
Spain is rapidly reconquering the is
land, so far as its commerce is con-
cerned. Instead of American capital
and American business men and
methods annexing the island econo-
mically to the United States, it looks to
the impartial observer as if ancient
ties of blood were proving strong
er than the lure of material interests.
Not only is the island not becoming
Americanized. but, as matter of
fact, the Spaniard has greater COM
mercial influence in Cuba today than
ever before. For every American on
the island there are twenty Span
iards, and the disparity is rapidly in
creasing in favor of the Spaniard.
Practically the entire internal COM
merce and retail business of the is
land is in the hands of Spaniards,
and pitted against their conservative,
Old world methOdS the hustle ana
traditional push of the Americans find
themselves halted by a dead wall of
prejudice and unyielding conserva-
tisn1.
1.-THE fact that the trade between
the United States and Cuba is greater
than the islands trade with any other
three nations does not change the sit
uation. For every dollar Cuba sends
us in trade we pay two dollars for
Cuban tobacco, fruit and sugar. And
Cuba, with stable government, will
grow rich from this great market we
furnish her. But it will not Ameri-
canize the island, because her bust
ness men are Spaniards. and they
more than ever before are ontro1ling
the commercial destinies of the is
land.
The time may come when the rich
opportunities offered by Cuba will
draw the necessary deluge of Ameri-
can capital and immigration to
swamp the Spaniard in his island
stronghold, but until that time arrives
Spain will be dominant in the island
from which she was driven in the war
of liberation. The Americanization
Of Cuba. apparently, is in the far dis
tant future"

EDUCATIONAL APPROPRIATIONS

A stern duty confronts the legisla-
tors in being liberal with the appro-
priations for the educational inStitu-
tions of the state. 1t will be false
economy not to provide not only suf-
ficient money for the actual running
expenses of these magnificent establish
ments during the next biennium but
also sufficient funds for their develop
ment and enlargement in all ways.
Kansas is spending a good deal of
money each year for the purposes of
education. It is money we'll spent and
the state is in such a prosperous con-
dition that more can well be afforded.
The three chief educational institutions
supported by state aid are credits to
any commonwealth. They occupy
prominent places among the similar
educational institutions of the coun-
try. They will not be able to hold
these places, though. unless the much
needed money is appropriated for their
development.
Particularly is this true in regard to
the state university at Lawrence. OF
the Association of American Univer-
stiles, IS of the most important of the
higher educational institutions of the
country, of which the Kansas univer-
sity is a member, its income is the low
est. -Four years ago the Missouri uni
versity had an income of $435,000 and
that of Kansas university was $314,
900. The income for next biennial per-
iod which is in sight for the Missouri
university is $1,600,000. while that for
the Kansas institution is but $5SS,000.

nesota university was $4,000, while that

The prospective income for the next
biennium of Minnesota is 81, 7S5, 900 while
that of the Kansas university is, as
stated, but 1888, 900. These comparisons
show how the universities fathered by
two other states are being provided
with the sinews of war to outdistance
in development the Kansas universe
ty. The story could be reiterated by
comparisons of the amount that other
states are furnishing for their univer-
stiles. That the money given by Kan
sas for the support of her university
is well spent and used in the most
economical manner is shown by the
fact that the annual cost per capita of
conducting it is SIS, which is the low
est per capita cost Of education in any
of the Is members of the Association
of American Universities. The annual
per capita cost at the Missouri univer-
sity is $316 and at the one in Mime
sofa it is 1863. These figures tell their
own story. They show that those who
are entrusted with the management of
the Kansas university are to be de-
pended upon in getting the largest pos
sible return for the money that is given
to them. They should have all they
need to keep the institution abreast
