Our Few Real Needs.

As civilization and culture make peO-
pie more prosperous and more comfort
able they are prone to forget how few
and simple their real needs are. We
need sleep. but not much Of 1t, and
most Of IS are asleep exactly when
We ought most Of all to be awake. We
need food. but 1t Is not necessary that
food should be cunningly disguised
with a thousand devices to tickle the
jaded and surfeited palate. for the
main trouble Is that We eat too much
and not too little. We need clothes to
wear, but the one suit of fur that lasts
certain animals all their lives Is so
beautiful that some men spend their
whole time In search Of II. We need
heaven and the sense Of higher pow
er directing our lives and our desti-
MES. but We spend most Of our time
refutins and denying the possibility Of
anything bigger or better than We are.
We need the love Of friends. and
therefore II Is the more strange that
We should spend our time not In i'm
proving ourselves. but In decorating
our bodies. filling them with food and
hustling them about over the earth In
search Of ever freshing sensations

GRAFT IN EUROPE.

1t seems that graft in high govern.
ment circles is not by any means con.
fined to the United States. We have
been disposed to think that America
was the home Of the CRATER but as a
matter of fact, some of the European
nations can give us instructions along
that line.
The news from st. Petersburg Of
the discovery Of tremendous graft in
government circles is not a great SUR
prise to those who remember the
charges Of graft and rascality made
during the Russo.Japanese war. 1t
was known at that time that the auto.
cratic system which obtains not only
in the civil government but in the
army and navy a. we'll, was one that
fostered robbery Of the Russian treas.
ury. The payrolls were padded,
the supplies, it was asserted,
both of munitions of war and commits.
sary. were low grade and high priced.
The officers both Of the army and
navy held their positions not because
of ability but because of favoritism.
All this was SO rotten that it was com.
monty believed to be the reason for
Russia's defeat. These statements,
made at that time. seem to be true.
The government investigation which
has been slow, is betraying according
to the latest telegraphic reports, that
all these statements were true, and
there is a great alarm among govern
ment officers, many are fugitives and
Others are facing prison. Millions of
dollars have been made out ofthe gov.
eminent by the sale Of rotten stores,
and bribery seems to have been ram.
pant among the officers. The whole
country is shaken up over the result of
these investigations and the end is not
yet.
Something Of like conditions was
found 10 obtain in Spain At the time Of
the Spanish-American war. Officers
held their positions by favoritism or
pull. and tremendous fortunes were
made in contracts with the government
wherein the contractors supplied even
rotten gunpowder. 1t was asserted
that Cevera's fleet was hollow sham
and fraud, the warships being hardly
seaworthy. and were but painted coffins
that the Yankee shots went through. |

w. F. Porter has broken into politi.
cal limelight again, and it is evident,
even at this distance from the state
capital, that the worst form of office.
seeking itch has the pOcketer Of the

We would suggest that common lie.

Porter turn into the State treasury the
money that our courts have held he
unlawfally retained when he retired

DEMAGOGISM.

Demagogism is always busy accord.
ing to what it conceives to be the
humor of the people. Democratic
managers think. or pretend to think,
that q tidal wave is running their way.
They insist that the people are dis.
gusted with the new tariff, and that
it is the cause of the high cost of liv-
ing. As q matter Of fact the new
tariff is working we'll. 1t has mate.
rally increased the public revenue
and is rapidly wiping out the excess Of
government expenditures over receipts.
Its alleged increase of the cost of liv-
ing has not been proved in any par
ticular. Many theories are offered in
regard to the advance in the price of
food throughout the world. 1t is not
greater in the United States than in
other countries, nor greater under the
policy of protection than that of free
trade. But demagogues have no use
for we'll digested facts. Any form Of
assimilation is more to them than the
truth, and they play upon prejudice,
hasty emOtiOnalism and defective
information as their best plan Of
action. The shifting phases of part
nership between the democratic minor.
ity and the insurgents in congress are
essentially insincere. Insurgents will
not say they are democrats, and demo.
Gratis do not deny that their purpose in
voting with the insurgents is to ipjure
the republican party. The coalition
is a surprise to the people Of the
United States who gave large repub-
lican majority at the last election.
They took it for granted that a repub-
lican majority Of forty.four in the
house, and Of two thirds in tho senate,
would give the republicans control,
with an accompanying responsibility.
The insurgents have undertaken to
reverse the popular verdict and put
the minority IN top. No insurgent
when running for congress informed
the people that he would pursue this
singular course. The lack of square
dealing is evident. Insurgents assert
that they will not be classed as demo.
cratic converts, yet they join in with
the minority and prevent the organized,
legitimate action Of the party to which
they owe their election. :. In this situa-
ton good faith with the people is all
ON the side of what are called regular
republicans, the kind that has been
governing the country, and doing it
we'll, for nearly fifty years. They can
take care of themselves in the pending
campaign."-St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.

BUSINESS-TRAINED GIRLS.

Girls who have been trained in bus.
mess life are favored as possible wives
by bachelors in all parts of the United
States, according to the opinions that
have been expressed by 800 of them.
Some Of the most striking things the
bachelors say are given in Good
Housekeeping Magazine.
A Massachusetts man says that "as
rule the girls who are in business
know the value of money and expect
less than the daughters of the rich. "
THE majority of the business girls /
know live at home and pay a very
small board bill, leaving a comfortable
balance for clothes and little luxuries
which would have to he materially
reduced if they were to marry me-" is
the frank declaration Of a Springfield
Mass man. Every husband" says
bachelor, has a natural pride in
being able to provide better for his
wife than she could for herself. Any
other feeling on the part of the wife
lessons her respect" q am positive
they are better companions for men
than girls who do not know the real
value of a dollar" So speaks a cham
pion Of the business girl from Wash.
ington, ID. G.
The 500 bachelors were asked to
express their minds in regard to the
right income to marry on. Their
ideas range from $500 to $4,000 a
year. The average is 81, 1870. They
all agree that club life isn't in it"
with having home of ones Own, and
they believe that the girls who want
their husbands to provide the luxuries
of parental homes aren't worth mar.
rying.
THE young husband, unless he
starts with some parental cash slowed
away, cannot hope to furnish the lux
uries the girl has been accustomed to
for some time after his marriage" says

stinted resources must he taken as q

DREADNOUGHT BUILDING.

The battleship Florida, is today the
most prominent member of q family
whose numbers are quite out of pro.
pcrtionate to its age. The number of
dreadnoughts either completed or un-
der construction in the United States,
Great Britain, Germany, Japan and
France is placed by Commander H.
F. Bryan. in the New International
Year Book, at forty-nine. OF these
the United States has eight in the
Michigan, South Carolina, Delaware
and North Dakota completed, the
Florida and Utah about half complet-
cd, and the Wyoming and Arkansas
recently begun. The displacement of
the last two, $4,000 tons, is exceeded
in the entire dreadnought class by the
two new English battleship cruisers
Lion and Thunderer, or $3.50 tons
aud 700 foot length, of which the first
was laid down last November. Great
Britain's dreadnoughts number eigh.
teen, without taking account of four
ships ordered or just begun. Ger
many has thirteen completed or build
ing; Japan has four, two completed
and two building. France has no
dreadnoughts in commission, but is
building fleet Of six Of 1888 tons to
be completed in 1911. Fastest among
battleships are our own North Dakota,
with 1925 knots, and the British Van.
guard, with 22.4 knots; but both are
behind the six British dreadnought
cruisers, with speed ranging between
q and % knots. The Florida will
cost slO,OOO,OOO before she is done.
The total amount spent by the five
leading nations on dreadnOught build
ing in the past six years must be about
a billion dollars. And the ultimate
consumer has been footing the bills

The Husband Beaten.

For the wife beater no good word
can be said, nor anything new in evil.
II the wife will tell, the courts will
gladly attend to him, and she doesn't
have to put up with him for the sake
of the children. And the wife beaten
is SO old fashioned that he has ceased
to attract much attention. A newer
menace to invade the realm Of the
courts is the husband beater. A Con-
necticut physician has attracted n lot
Of attention because he has gone to
Reno, New, to SECURE a divorce from
his wife, because he made an athlete
of her and she now beats him around
q good deal. But, while the husband
beaten may be new in the courts. she
isn't exactly novelty. True, she
doesn't often use her fists, nor yet an
elm club, but the results are a good
deal the same. The man who puts up
with . nagging wife, or yields to her
every within because OF ready tears, or
the other weapons women know better
how to use than fists or clubs, is
victim of the husband heater, and too
proud, or too timid to acknowledge it.
1t isn't just as new Us the courts and
the paragraphers infer, this game Of
husband beating.

ATCHISON GLOBE NOTES.
A Big Church Row.

England has fine prospect ofa big
church row. John Redmond, the
Irish Nationalist leader, already has
protested against the form Of the oath
to be taken by the new king before par
lament. While the House of Han.
over resigns in England because it is
protestant, the wording of the oath is
offensive to Catholic Englishmen. The
king is made to disavow any belief in
trans.substantiatiOn, and to aft. m that
the invocation or alteration Of the
Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and
the sacrifice Of the mass, ~ they are
now used in the Church Of Rome, are
superstitious and i'l"latrOus."
