FROM OTHER PENS
A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.


Americans in a pessimistic state of
mlnd ought to glance at the latest sta
tlSt1cS OF immigration. They would
ind abundant evidence that their
country is still the hope and haven of
vast number of jewellers in other
lands. In March nearly 10000 i'm
migrants came to. the United States by
sea- The high records for the third
month OF the year were all broken.
When March ended everything iudf-
Gated that there would be heavy i'm
migration throughout the spring, and.
in fact, for an indefinite period be-
yond. There was no sign of a check
in the inflow of homeseekers.
These immigrants, who undergo Sc
we're hardships In many cases. to get
to America, come from many lands.
The great majority are from the east
ern and southern countries of Europe.
Italy. and there were $4,000 from the
Austro-Hungarian empire, where
many nationalities and languages are
represented. Russia sent $4,000.
How can anyone who retains even
the feeblest faith in the future of hui
mainly be respondent about the coun-
try, of enormous extent and vast re-
sources, which lures SO many hope
full and courageous home-seekers from
distant parts of the world? If they
were not brave and full of confidence
in themselves and in the land where
they seek to better their lot, they
are all cropping in the dark, if they
are not finding a country of rare
promise and unmatched opportunities,
they are indeed blind. and the OUT
look for the world is gloomy beyond
observation-disclosures Leader.
VALUE OF A REPUTATION.
While due credit and respect should
be shown to Judge HOOKS 7ictum, that
a man can not have his credit dam
aged unless he Is in business-upon
which theory he reversed verdict OF
$500 damages to man who had been
discredited at one bank by refusal of
another to pay his check, though hav-
ing funds to his credit-Dractical men
must dissent from such a theory.
The bank to which this dishonored
check was drawn would naturally de-
cline to do business with its drawer
again. and here would be tangible
damage. Other banks to which he
might apply for a loan might. having
knowledge of the incident. decline to
would be another tangible damage. His
butcher and his grocer, and his dry
goods store where he had form erly had
good credit. might conclude that it
would be safer in future to make him
cash customer. and here would be
another tangible damage.
His employer might conclude that
he was not entirely trustworthy and
refrain from giving him the promotion
and increase in salary he had intended.
The idea that reputation for honest
and strict business dealing is of no val
ue except to a man engaged in regular
business enterprise is one that will
scarcely stand the light Of inspection.

CONGRESSMAN Miller would stand a
small chance of securing a renomina-
ton, in all probability, if the women of
Kansas had the right to vote in state
and national political contests. At

the women of the state have a legal
right to wear overalls. Many women
have taken the right unto themselves
to wear the trousers. but their cause
and that of their sisters in this re-
spect has been given a material boost
by being sanctioned by the legal au-
thority of the state. And they would
not be slow to show their appreciation
IF they had the opportunity.

Among other things Foster Dwight
Coburn. secretary of the Kansas de-
partment of agriculture. will go down
in history as the champion killer of
crop killers. After the latter gentry
have holiered themselves hoarse each
spring with dire predictions of a GER
tain failure of the wheat crop, Mr..
Coburn trots out few facts and fig
ures OF the authoritative sort that put
the calamity howlers out of business.
His latest effort in this line is most
reassuring. Climatic conditions could
not have been much worse for fav-
orable wheat crop than they have been
during the past few months, but Mr..
Coburn is able to report that the wheat
conditions in the state on a tremendous
acreage is &c per cent. That is suffi-
cient to assure an aggregate wheat crop
xor the state Of large proportions.
