Saturday morning, two girls Vera
around here, circulating a petition Ia
nave Morse, the crooked banker. mar
doned from the penitentiary. A NM
per OF people signed,-some because the
girls were good looking, Others because
the girls seemed to think they were
oolng godd work, and still others be-
cause they knew very well that their
names on the petition would not helm
free the crooked banker, but would
make the young ladies feel better.
Morse was convicted of converting
the hard earned savings of poor peo
pie to his own selfish use He has
served but small part of his Just
sentence.
A few weeks ago young man in
this town stole bicycle. In so doing,
he injured only the owner of the bike
and the injury was temporary. The
owner didn't have to go hungry or cold
because he had been robbed of his
bicycle, but according to the laws in
such cases made and provided, the
thief was sent to the penitentiery for
quite while. And no handsome young
ladies will flood the whole United
States with petitions to get him OUT
before he serves lis sentence. Maybe
there isn't any moral in this. Maybe
there is, and If so it is: "Gft a plenty
while you're gittin'," because that is
the way to get public sympathy in
addition to the loot.
Transparent mendacity" may be
the polite way to call man a liar, but
we prefer the shorter-and-ugIier The
long way is a little strong for the
average man, and causes him to pause
and think a moment before swinging
with his right. And we have observed
that the delayed punch is always
heavier than the one delivered on the
spur of the moment.
One of the advantages of being rich
is that you may neglect your relatives

Half a dozen human beings were
killed or manned in the Vanderbilt au-
tomobile race Saturday. The prize in
the race, was some free advertising for
the manufacturers of certain automo-
biIes, and a cup, which amounts to
nothing more than advertising. Tt
seems absolutely unnecessary to say
anything more about it in this column,
or point a moral which is so obvious
that it would soak into head of solid
ivory.
The average woman gets more real
enjoyment out of a cry than she does
out of a laugh.
A successful politician is one who can

THE HUMAN ELEMENT.

Many of this years state platforms
of the political parties depart a little
from the beaten path. They mention
topics which the platform makers of n
few years ago would have dismissed
with contempt as outside the pale If
politics as they defined it. They would
have said that those topics should be
left to the sociological fellows
The platforms of the Illinois Repub-
licans and Democrats pronounce I'M
equivocally for an employers liability
law. So does that of Wisconsin. The
cruel injustice of system which
leaves the men disabled in the indus
trial service of the country to take care
of themselves has at last become a
matter of party concern, an injustice
which political organizations can with
propriety promise to end.
The Wisconsin platform also favors
legislation to regulate the working
hours of women and children. There
is a touch of tenderness. or regard for
physical valuation of railroads which IS
found in the platform may be a de-
mand which should be attended to, but
it will not appeal so favorably to the
people as the manifestation of interest
in the welfare of women and children.
This humanizing of party platforms
is a pleasing spectacle. They will al
ways retain their customary features.
Economy and efficiency will be prom
ised and the extravaganza and in
efficiency of the other fellows de-
nounced, but they will be more inter-
esting because they viii have more 20
say about human beings and their per-
sonal welfare.-Chicago Tribune.

KANSAS COMMENT
HARD NIT TO CRAcK


A delicate point in the religio- edu-
cational science has been raised by
the faculty of Ottawa University The
faculty bases its recent ruling which
divides the boys from the girls in
chapel seating, upon the assumption
that When the sexes congregate in
chapel the spirit of religion is farther
from their minds than if the sexes
were separated.
This is a delicate matter and re-
solves itself into the finely discrim-
NATIVE questions: Which is upper
most in the minds of the college
youth, religion or girls; when is the
mind most susceptible to religion, and
is the power of religious fervor d.
visible by the greatest common divi-
sor of Girlology as an abstract sci
ence? Also, if this is the case, why,
and how long will the patient survive
the malady?
It is the primary object of the fac
ulty to see that the greatest educa-
tional, social and religious advance
ment be made in given time. But
it is the social development and the
social side of the college life that be-
comes entangled in the sentiments and
the convictions of the student body.
1t is question of no mean import
that is bothering the students and
faculty. When the college girl and
the college boy sit together, which
is uppermost in the mind sentiment
of the argument; it is probable that by
constant practice the half hour of
chapel time can be gradually devel-
oped into a time when religion is up
permost. But it is this period of prac-
tice to which the faculty objects. And
there you are.
Then. again; it depends largely up
on the appearance of the girl If
the amount of false hair be unusually
great it is probable that neither re-
ligion nor sentiment nor yet love can
gain a stronghold in the minds of
those who sit near or behind her dur
ing chapel exercises. On the other
hand, some college girls are so at
tractive that it is almost impossible
for the average youth within good eye
shot to think of religion or even foot
ball while she is near
So it becomes apparent that this is
no equal ground upon which the fac
ulty and students are figuratively
sparring for a decision. There should
be a prize offered for the correct So
luton all contributions to be sent by
unprejudiced persons neither Marie d
nor single nor divorced. 1t is the
only fair way.-Ottawa Herald.

FAILED TO LAND HIM.

How to aid Cupid is a problem that
prominent young society lady in
Manhattan has endeavored to solve.
She went to Clay Center, bought
Perfectly Lovely diamond ring on the
installment plan. and coming home
exhibited it to the young man she is
trying to land, as an evidence of the
esteem in which she is held in Certain
Quarters in Clay Center The young
man is expected to show great Gag
erness to possess so much charm, but
so far there is a dismal lack of re-
sults.-Manhattan Mercury.

FRON OTHER PENS
RAILROAD RATES AND WAGES

RAILROAD RATES AND WAGES.
1t is perfectly natural for the en-
ployees of the railroads to make com
mon cause with their employers
against the rest of the country. How
the shippers and how the consumers
fare is none of their business. They
want more wages; the companies tell
them that their income is insufficient;
the most natural thing in the world,
then, is for them to insist that the
rest of the country shall furnish the
railroad corporations with more in
come.
But whether the companies really
need more income to pay the goin g
rates of wages the employees cannot
know anv better than the rest of the
the steel companies, which are ex-
porting enormous amounts of their
products, know no more about the
relation of their wages to the pro-
tective tariff demanded by their en-
ployers than any one else knows. They
have simply the employers statement
for it, and every employer feels that
he is paying more wages than he ought
to, and is not making as much profit
as he should.
The Illinois Central has in ten years
sold to it's shareholders for $4,000
600 stock worth in the market about
SIS, 100000, and it claims the right
to pay the shareholders Z per cent
dividends, or more, on the stock they
never paid for as well as on that which
they have paid for The Chicago &
Northwestern exceeding its capital; a
trifle more than 10 per cent annually.
The New York Central has inflated
it's capital, and its shares are well
above par. The Lehigh Valley has
been making 20 per cent, more or less.
All the companies are allowing Sleep
ing car and express companies to do
business on their lines at profits to
these outside companies so high that
they have to make stock dividends of
large amounts from time to time to
get rid of the surplus, and then they
pay high dividends on the stock so
given away.
There are other railroads whose
earnings are much more modest, and
some earn little or nothing, but
whether the railroads ought to get
more money out of the community in
order to pay good wages to their en-
ployes is a thing the employees know no
more about than anybody else.-Phila-
