The BeIoit Gazette believes that the
railroad bill in the senate Is travelling
on the Central Branch schedule.
One trouble about farming, observes
the Lawrence Gazette, is that when
it is too wet to pillow the creeks are
too high for fishing.
As a proof that women are extrav-
agant, the Hill City New Era declares
that many a widow does $50 worth of
grieving over the loss of a 80 cent
man.
Most people, with their money, ex-
Atchfson Champion, than many others
who are broke and are wrestling with
carbuncle.
There is never a rose without its
thorn Commenting on the fact that
Kansas hay is to be shipped to the
Philippines, the Ottawa Herald calls
attention to the fact many of the CT
gars now come from there.
The man who goes fishing, says the
Muscotah Record, and sits in a cramp
inviting posture on a narrow thwart
from early morn till dewy eve and
calls it fun, is the same chap that
never goes to church because the
pews aren't comfortable.
Kansas City is now figuring on hav-
ing naval reserve station establish
ed there which would mean some
naval vessels for practice work on
the Missouri river. The next thing
Kansas City will demand will be coast
defenses, says the Chanute Tribune.

pulmonary tuberculosis is produced by

Farmers north of Soldier, says the
Corning Gazette, noticed a big smoke
in the road the other day and imagin-
ing that one of the neighbours motor
cars was burning up, rushed to the
spot. When the smoke partly cleared
away from the objects they saw a
pair Of balky horses standing over a
pile of burning hay. The farmer was
Vainly trying to crank them up.
There is druggist in Atchison who
should have been secured as a witness
by Hydes attorneys, says the Empor-
ia Gazette. The prosecution endeav-
ored to show that cyanide is a rare
poison that is seldom bought or sold.
This druggist informed an Atchison
reporter that he recently sold 800
pounds of the stuff to the proprietor
of large mill, who wanted to kill
off all the vermfn in the building.

We are willing for people to save

1t is our theory that salads offer an
excuse for spelling a lot of otherwise
nourisning and palatable foods.
1t is only when the baby is particu-

self.
Every man thinks he is entitled to
eat as much as he can buy. That's the
reason stomach complaint is so COM
mon.
No girl is entirely happy and salts
fed with her lover if she continues to
say her prayers during her engage
ment.
1t is possible for a woman to get so
accustomed to her husbands explo-
sions that she can always come down
in one piece.
One of the first decisions a young
husband gets rid of is that his brides
won't have to have any more clothes
for some time.

away from you, with ali malice Ephes-
ians " 81.
Among the undesirable passions to
which humans are prone and which
thew must ever battle against is anger.
1t is a viper that stings. 1t is a trou-
ble-maker of the first water. The
crimes which have been committed as
a result of it are legion. The discords.
and many of them last for years and
years and occasionally for all time,
it has caused in families are too num-
erous even to approximate. Little else
but distress ever follows in its wake.
And much of it is uncalled for. In
deed, it is safe to say that much of
the anger to which individuals give
vent, with all it's disagreeable conse-
quences, is the result of fancied
wrongs and injuries to ones self by
others. An act is misjudged, word
misconstrued. Then comes a f1are-up
with it's unpleasant results.
In the tenets of some religious de-
nominations anger is looked upon as
a vice, a sin. And there are plenty of
good and sufficient reasons why it
should be considered in that light. 1t
is almost unnecessary to narrate the
as contentious, enmities, hatred, fight
ing and the use of oaths, curses and
bfasphemies. Everybody is familiar
with them. For that very good reason
everybody should fight against letting
any of the bitter feeling of which he
may become obsessed break out in
display of angry passions. Certainly
there is nothing which is more direct
T.. 20 cnirif of the P0SDeI
as it was laid down by Christ. That
gospel breathes nothing more than
meekness and patience. the opposite
of anger.
In the incessant struggle that should
be waged against anger nothing VIII
prove to be more serviceable than the
cultivation of mildness of conduct,
gentleness of temper and patient fore
bearance. Such virtues work both
ways. Not only do they have a ten
dency to check outbreaks OF anger on
the part of those who practice them.
They also seek to disarm others from
causes for getting angry. The per-
son who is quick to display his wrath
never becomes exceedingly popular
with other people. He is anything but
desirable company. He is soon showed
aside to make room for some one else
who is of congenial and pleasing tenn
permanent. Such temperaments are
developed by the fostering of meek
ness. And that is virtue worth hav-
ing.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn
of me-" said Jesus Of Nazareth, &C
cording to ST. Matthew, "for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and We shall
find rest unto your souls"

About two weeks ago work was be-
gun to remove the eyesore and serious
impeachment to traffic which has been
in existence at the intersection of
Eighth and Kansas avenues for "a
couple of months. Several carloads of
dirt were dumped into the hole. APP
parently this has consumed the energy
of those charged with the work and
they are now taking a rest to recuper-
ate. At any rate, the huge piles of
granite block and dirt still rest Sc
renely where they have for so long.
Nor does there seem to be any dis
position on the part of any one to re-
move them by replacing them in the
pavement where they belong. Surely
the people of Topeka are a tolerant
lot. But it would appear they have
submitted to this disgraceful condition
of affairs quite long enough 1t was
confidently expected that the city
commission had the power to do
things. If it has this power it is
showing no inclination to use it in this
most needed direction. Perhaps the
entire fault belongs, however, not with
the commission as a whole. but with
the commissioner who is delegated to
look after just such kind of work.

TO PREVENT INDECENT PLAYS.
Mayor Gaynor of New York has de-
ciued That indecent shows must be
stopped and he has adopted new
method of accomplishing his purpose.
He intends to revoke the licenses of
theaters where the managers permit
suggestive plays. He will have the po
nee commissioner become the censor
OF the shows BY taking this action
the courts will not be bothered and the
SHOWS can be stopped without long de-
lays.
''The Girl With the Whooping
Cough" was the first show to be stop
pea py Mayor Gaynor and now that he
mas taken action other cities are fol-
rowing. Even Philadelphia, which
aWakens only occasionally has decided
that indecent shows must not be given.

ing effect than an immoral show. be-

ial1on long step toward reform will

QUILL CLUB A GOOD THING.

sity Is an organization of young men

ed or accumulated in newspaper work

this line THE Quill a little volume
of stories, verse and opinion, is worth
reading and indicates that the future
OF the country from a journalistic
standpoint is reasonably safe. The club
is to be congratulated, not only upon
the production, but on the energy and
nerve 1T takes to prepare and print
publication of this kind. With some
Of the editors this will doubtless re-
suit in cleaning out of the system,

to further work. In either case The
Quill is a good thing.-Hutchinso

A LITTLE SENSE NEEDED.
1t is all right and proper to be Wig
liant lest the natural resources be
gobbled up by the big corporations
but it is possible that the natural re-
sources may be left undeveloped while
the present generation pays high
price. Suppose there had been a cry
against taking oil out of the ground
what would have been the price Of
oil today? We must be sensible in
such things.-Lawrence Journal.
