SUBSCRIBE FOR STATE FAIR.

Monday is the day when every in
dtvidual in Topeka who desires to do
something for the development of the
city and the state of Kansas, as well.
should show the courage of his con-
v1ctions in this particular and dig
deep in his pocket for money to in
vest in the state fair enterprise. Sew
eral generous and liberal subscriptions
have been made already for the stock
of the exposition company But
many more of them are needed If a
fund is to be raised of sufficient pro-
portions to establish this fair on an
adequate basis.
Nor, as has been suggested, should
the few men in the city. who have
been called upon in the past to do
most of the giving for such public pro-
jects as have needed money from prd-
vate sources, be expected to contri-
butte the bulk Of the fair fund It's
subscription should be more general.
It should be needless for any reitera-
ton of the fact a real state fair in
Topeka will be of incalculable benefit
to the city and to Kansas. That is a
matter on which there is no room for
doubt, on which everybody is in
agreement. And just so much as 1t
will help to advertise the city in other
parts of the land, just so much as it
will help to develop 1t in a variety of
ways, just exactly so much will it be
Of benefit in one way or another to
all the people of the city.
II is for this reason that everyone
in the city who has a cent of money
that he can afford to put in an invest
ment that is likely to yield remunera-

general subscription from all classes
of people was one of the interesting
and important features of the recent
successful campaign in Kansas City,
Mo-, where more than one million dol
lars was raised for the establishment
of boat-1ine on the Missouri river.
Everybody in town contributed to that
enterprise. The banks and other
moneyed institutions of the city were
liberal with their subscriptions So
were the men with ample means. But
a great share of the money was raised
among people who had not been in
the habit of contributing to such
things. Mechanics, clerks, small
storekeepers, professional men, school
teachers-all classes of persons, in
fact-put their surplus money in the
venture.
Such general public-spirited citizen
ship is the kind that counts in the up
building of a city. Never was there
better chance for the display of 1t
than the present opportunity afforded
to Topekans for the making of real
state fair surety. BY deeds do men
show their worth and their interest in
a community, not by words

dreamed of a conquering legion
That boosted the pride of its might;
The sack of hundred cities;
The thrill of the steel-clanged fight;
And the strain OF the victors' paean
Like the call of the beast grew wild
When 10, through the night I heard 1t,
The cry Of little child.
I dreamed of nation in labor,
A-hungered OF wealth and domain,
That builded great dust-choked cities,
And lowered the sun-ba1ked plain;
And the prayers that the wan horde muir
INJURED
Were with craving for gain defiled-
When sharp through the night heard II,
The cry Of a little child.
The strain of a conquerors' paean
With the blasphenous prayers grew
faint,
AS clear through the night I hearkened
The note of my man-child's plant.
Then I dreamed of g. wondrous future,
Love lighted. contented, and mild,
And soft through my dream heard IT,
The cry Of a little child.

And forgive us our debts, as we fofStVe
AS is well known this is one of the
petitions in the Lords prayer, prayer
that forms al important part in the
fabric of all Christian religions. It's
the prayer that was handed down by
Jesus of Nazareth in his remarkable
utterances which are popularity re-
ferred to as his sermon on the mount.
Since then 1t has reverberated with
ever increasing volume down through
the ages until now, VIXEN it Is daily
supplication of millions of people.
Its Significance is momentous, per-
haps of greater moment than many
persons, who use it repeatedly, realize.
Of the highest perfection are the senti-
ments which 1t expresses. None OF
them are more so than the one outlined
in the words of the text. These words
form what is called the dfth petition
of the prayer. They comprise con-
fession of the frailties of human ma
ture. Almost every man recognizes
the fact that he is sinner, subject to
daily weaknesses, transgressions and
trespasses. MANY of them are of the
thoughtless sort, for which 1t Is reas-
enable to ask a pardon. But no mat
ter how serious q mans offense may
be there is always a feeling in his own
mind that he should be forgiven for 1t,
especially If ne honestly purposes not
to transgress in that direction again.
But-and mere comes the rub-is
every man who would be forgiven for
his own misdeeds, his mistakes. trivial
or great, of a mind to forgive as read
lily the offenses OF others that may
have been committed against him,
that may have done him an injury Of
greater or less portent? That's the
test which every man should apply
to himself before he asks for his own
pardon for anything of an overt
character that he may have done. 1t
Is really nothing more than the obser-
vance of the golden rule, to do unto
others as you would be done by. It is
a condition, though, and a most i'm
portant one, that is laid down in the
great prayer OF Christianity. No man
can expect to gain the pardon of his
fellow men and his God If he Is not
sincerely willing to enxtend the same
sort of forgiveness to others. This is
pointed ont clearly by Christ In his
calculation OF this prayer where he
says: But If We forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses
And 1t moro than likely that many
persons forgot this most important
fact when they are ma king their sup
plicattons for the forgiveness OF such
wrongs as they have done.
