KANSAS COMMENT
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE.

a FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE
Don't be a game hog. Just because
you can take a shotgun and sneak up
on a covey of quail and kill about all of
them with a shot or two, or just be-
cause you can kill double the number
OF birds in day the law allows and
not get caught, is no reason for doing
1t. Be true sportsman. Give the lit
tie fellows chance, and don't let your
greed lead you to do something that is
discreditable, and that tends to hurt
legitimate sport in the years to come.
Hunting is fine sport, and the true
sportsman is an extra good citizen, but
the game hog and the pot hunter are
undesirable persons in any community
and unworthy the respect of anyone,
not only as regards hunting but usual
ly in whatever they engage. True
sportsmanship is not limited by thu
calendar dates marking the extent II
the hunting season man who will
not shoot game out of season and al
ways gives the bird chance plays fair
In business and never needs watching.
While the game hog and pot hunter
generally need watching all the time.
The difference is fundamentaL-Cha-

FRON O7EER PENS
DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF PROM

Evidence of an appreciation in the
value of women's affections as esti-
mated by juries in suits to recover
damages for mans perfidy is supplied
by recent awards in breach of promise
cases.
A Boston jury has allowed a, lawyers
stenographer the full amount sued for.
$50, 600. and at Sioux Falls a banker
fiancee recovered s25 900. A suit for a
similar amount has been instituted by
a Philadelphia brokers' 19-year-old
stenographer. In comparison with
these court estimates, the girl book
keeper at Tacoma Who offers herself as
the grand prize in a SIC. 900 lottery, tick
cts 81 each, sets a modest value on her
affections.
But the interesting thing is the ap-
proech toward a standard of compen-
sation for self-supporting women whose
affections have been trifled with. In
the Sioux Falls case the plaintiff fur
nished proof that she had refused a
position as bank cashier with a S. 600
salary, a sum which on a basis of cap
italization at per cent might have en-
couraged a demand for S10O. 900. Cen
orally speaking, however, 1925 900, with
its income of 81 $50 a year, represents
an indemnity equal to the earnings Of
a competent stenographer.
standard of jury awards in breach
of promise cases will enable male
triflers to count the cost of love spurn-
ed. In larger sense the higher scale
of damages based on the increased
earning power of plaintiffs cannot but
afford satisfaction to all champions Of
Wopan's cause.-New York World.

When you consider the matter care
fully, you will find that the Kansas
people are funny lot.
There is Victor Murdoch in the
Eighth district. He was such a valiant
insurgent that the Democrats decline ed
to nominate candidate against him.
Then up in the First district, Dan An
thony proved himself such royal
good fellow, and such an insistent and
consistent standpatter. that the Demo-
Gratis declined to run a man against
him.
Which shows that the Kansas peo-
pie are not only very funny about
their politics. but that they are al

although the above is the popular
version of a Lucretia Borgia obituary,
careful historians have discovered
that the lady was much maligned.
They find that her morals were above
reproach, and that she was a patron
of the arts and sciences. However,
these same historians save their alibis
for a postscript, just as we have done
in this instance. They begin by paint
ing her the color of a half-ton OF
Frontenac Nut, and then ease the
reader into the abb by degrees.

THE BOY AND THE GUN.

THE BOY AND THE GUN
Each season brings its own sport or
pastime, game or fad for the boys. The
autumn and winter are the seasons
when many boys hunt or shoot a great
deal. This should be the time, then,
for the reiteration of that old warn
ing about the "I-didn't-know-it-w was
loaded" accident.
Boys should be careful with their
shooting irons, and never fail to know
whether they are loaded or not. Two
boys were out shooting a few days ago
and one, thinking his gun was empty,
aimed it at the other and pulled the
trigger. The other dropped dead. ct
didn't know it was loaded" walled the
one who killed him, echoing the wall
of scores of others who had at some
time been as criminally negligent as
himself.
No boy or man has right to aim a
f1rearm at another person, and when
he does it, whether harm comes of 1t
or not. he should be made to feel that
he has done something he should not.
Parents can well afford to deny guns
and pistols to their boys until they
have reached such ages as will make
them capable Of realizing their dan
gers. If they must have guns, they
should be cautioned against careless
use of them. 1t som etimes seems trite
to speak of warning boys against such
enough such distressing accidents
would be feWer.-Omaha Bee.
O.
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Canada has come to know that it is d
big country, and is able to stand alone.
1t also recognizes that in many ways
its prosperity is bound up with that of
the United States. Considering that
contiguity, their common language and
their intermingled interests, 1t could
not be otherwise. Thousands of Cana
dams have made their homes in the
United States. Thousands Of the citi-
zens of the United States haven taken
advantage of the opportunities offered
by Canada The inevitable result is q
friendly feeling upon both sides of the
border that in time is likely to find eX-
preston in a reciprocity of commercial
relations which will practically make
the markets of the one country open To
the products of the other.
Why Great Britain should view this
possibility with more or less apprehen-
sion, not to say anguish, is easy to I'M
derstand. She has always used her col
onies for the exploitation of her home
manufactures. To see the Canadian
market monopolized by the United
! States is anything but agreeable. Closer
commercial relations with the United
| States likewise implies closer political
relations, and in time may lead to an
| offensive and defensive alliance re-
i CARELESS of the wishes - the mother
country Canada has within itself more
| to gain from an alliance with its close
neighbor, the United States, than by
continuing it's costly allegiance tc

a result of the transfer of the JEFF

Southern Pacific Railroad Co. is
swamped with applications for Pull.
mai cars and berths on the regular
trains. This traffic was unex-

pany estimates that 5000 persons
will go from San Francisco and the

for nearly half this number. The

ply. The railroad has also made
special rates from southern Califor
