Sometimes men do things out of
selfishness rather than out of kind
ness. Recently club woman told this
story:
IAN old couple came in from the
country With a big basket of lunch to
see the circus.
1.-THE lunch was heavy. The old wife
WAS carrying 1t. AS they crossed a
crowded street the husband held out
his hand and said:
"'Gimme that basket, Hannah
1.-THE poor old woman surrendered
the basket with grateful look.
"'That's real kind o. ye, Joshua,
she quavered.
Kind grunted the old man.

gents" or most Of them are indiy-
lidualists. They have an idea that
their way OF doing business 10 the
only way, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are in minority until they
ally themselves with members Of the
opposition party. Discussing the doc
trinaire and the individualist, Col
onel Roosevelt said:
eve can Just as little afford to
follow the doctrinaires OF an ex-
IRENE indiyidualism as the doctrin-
aires OF an extreme socialism. In
diyidual initiative, so far from being
discouraged, should be stimulated;
and yet we should remember that as
society develops and grows more
complex, we continually find that
things which once 1t was desirable
to leave to individual initiative can,
under the changed conditions, be per-
formed with better results by COM
mon effort. 1t is quite impossible,
ana equally undesirable, to draw IN
theory q hard and fast line which
shall always divide the two sets OF
cases. This every one who Is not
cursed with the pride Of the closet
philosopher will see, If he VIII only
take the trouble to think about some
OF our commonest phenomena. For
instance, when people live on Isolated
farms or in little hamlets, each house
can be left to attend to Its own
drainage and water supply; but the
mere multiplication lof families In a
given area produces new problems
which, because they differ IN size'
are found to differ not only in de-
gree but in kind from the old; ana
the questions Of drainage and water
supply have to be considered from
the common standpoint. It IS not
a matter for abstract dogmatizing
10 decide when this point ID reached;
II Is a matter to be tested by practi-
cal experiment. Much OF the DIS
cussion about socialism and individ-
ualism Is entirely polntless, because
of failure to agree on Technology.
It is not good to be the slave OF
names. am a strong indiVidualist
by personal habit, Inheritance, and
conviction; but 1t is a mere matter
Of common sense to recognize that
the state, the community, the citizens
acting together, can do a number OF
things better than II they were left
to Individual action"

saIina Union: Among cattle men
on the plains, when q stray calf is
found with nothing to tell about
where II belongs. II Is called a rmav-
erick."
Honorable John W. Creeeh has
announced Tor lieutenant governor,
and the Topeka Capital seeks to give
the impression that he is with the
Wagstaff clan, and that he does not
belong to the Stubs faction. There
Is no need Of anyone to be in doubt
about John w. Creech. He Is easily
located. He is not a maverick. Nor
does 1t take any brand to tell where
he belongs, and especially where he
does not belong. He knows stubbs
intimately. He knows that fakir, both
as business man and as politician.
He has been in business with Stubbs.
He has been in politics with him; and
he knows him to be the most monu-
mental fraud that ever came to the
surface in Kansas politics. John
Creech is an honest man, commercial
ly honest and honest as politician.
He is exactly the opposite of Stubs
in everything. 1t is safe to say that
Creech is not with Stubs. Creech Is
not swift to suspicion anyone. Honest
himself, he is prone to believe in the
integrity of others. But when he does
discover hypocrisy in a man Creech
drops him and you can stake your last
dollar that he has dropped Stubbs.
Creech is not only honest, but he
is able. He has the judicial tempera-
ment.. He loves to be Just. He loves
honesty, and he has that high order
Of intelligence which enables him to
see and know and follow the truth.
No party will pDesent better
man than Creech. While Wagstaff
is brilliant and Of high character
still with Creech for lieutenant gov
ernor and Wagstaff for governor, one
who knows them cannot help seeing
the picture of a Kangaroo-the tick
ct is the biggest at the tai IL
ct is the biggest at the tail. If ! were
managing Stubbs' campaign, would
say nothing about Creech being with
Wagstaff, but il l was managing
Wagstaff's campaign would show
him up just as close to Creech as pos
sible. wherever Creech is there is
strength and the more he is fought
the worse it will be for that side that
fights him.
The Capital will find before long
that it made a mistake to CLASSIFY
Creech. Yet, since it was not pos
sible for such an able, fearless, hon
est man, who knows Stubs, to be
with such a hypocritical charlatan
perhaps it was bit Of holiness for
the Capital to speak UP and say
that Creech is republican and will
have nothing to do with a political
prostitute who dons the cloak Of
political virtue that he may the more
securely from illegitimate alliances
with the weaklings Of all parties.
Yes, / should say that Creech is
with Wagstaff and Taft. Nobody can
say aught against Creech' except that
he is a Republican.
He does not belong to the nave
ricks.
