ROYAL SPORT.

Nicholas, car of all Russia, has
been visiting for a few days with one
of his cronies. Wilhelm. kaiser of the
German empire. And the distinguished
host entertained his distinguished guest
with hunt And mighty hunters did
the guest and the host prove them
selves to be. if the amount of game
that fell before their guns counts for
anything. But wait a minute.
Before the royal party took to the
field, or to the woods, as it happened
to be in this case. they were secured
for days by an army of soldiers, first
to see If any anarchists. nihilists or
other undesirable citizens were lurking
in their secret recesses, who might be
inclined to turn the hunters into the
hunted and take a pot shot or two
which might necessitate the browning
of new emperor or new car. After
the soldiers had satisfied themselves
that none of this gentry was abroad in
the woods, they busted themselves with
rounding UP all the tame deer and
equally tame boar with which the for
ests abounded. They kept these beasts
corralled, as it were. until the royal
party arrived. The members of this
able platforms which had been built
for them and screened off with bushes
and branches of trees. On each plat
form was a hamper filed with ales.
wines, liquors, cigars and presumably
a few frankfHrter sandwiches, the ma
tive substitute for terrapin in Ger
many. Then the word for the great
hunt to begin was given. One edge of
the circle of soldiers which was guard
ing the game broke away. The game
was driven on and as it passed by the
pavilIions where sat the royal hunters,
they blazed away at it as fast as fun
kies could hand them loaded guns.
The bag of game assumed immense
proportions. In fact, the hunt is de-
clared to have been the most success
full that has been pulled off in Ger
many for years. And this kind of
hunting is called royal sport. Rather
should it be called a slaughter of dumb
and innocent beasts at the hands of
the weakest variety of mollycoddles
that are to be found on the earth. No
wonder the common people of Russia
and of Germany have not much use
for 'fllustrious' gentlemen who pre-
side over their destinies

TTIE CANlPAIGN KEEPs ON.

It is right that the campaign to blot
out entirely the White Elephant that
has been burdening the Young Wo-
mems and Young Mems Christian as
sociations should be continued for a
few days. During the time originally
allotted to this task, the workers in
the cause did well to accumulate
pledges to the amount Of more than
$4,000. But this is not enough for the
purposes of these organizations, which
mean so much to the welfare of the
young women and the young men Of
this sity. The sum fixed as the goal,
5000. is needed. And it will be far
better to keep the campaign to get it
in progress until it is realized. than to
stop with two-thirds of the amount
subscribed, and then have to start an
other campaign in the near future to
obtain the balance.
Although the workers in this cam
paign have been many, they have NOT
been enough to visit all Topekans who
are probably willing to give to this
worthy project. Nor will they be able
to do so during the few days that the
campaign is to be continued. There
fore. it behooves many Topekans who
have not been called on, and who prob
ably will not be, to subscribe of their
own volition.
And another thing. It does not ap-
pear that as many large contributions
have been made as should have been.
There are many men and women IN
Topeka who have abundant means who
have failed to come to the front in this
campaign. To be sure, most of them
have been generous and liberal with
contributions to various projects of this
81 t which have been promulgated in
the past. And no actual responsibility
rests on them to give to the present
fund. But they should be glad of the
opportunity presented to help Topeka,
and especially the young women and
the young men of Topeka, on to higher
and better things.
There is no good reason why the bal
ance of the $4,000 should not be raised
during the next few days. It's real
ization will help Topeka in many ways.
1t will tell the outside world that To-
pekans are awake to their full duties
in helping the growing generations, the
most important of the nations re-
sources, on their way to a larger, a
better and a more useful life.

Politicians Led by a Woman.

In Mason county, w. Va, the great
est political battle for control of the
county machinery of the Republican
party in West Virginia is being waged.
Marshaling the wet wing of the
party against the "drys'' is Mrs. Livia
Simpson Poffenberger, the wife of
Judge George Poffenberger, of the su-
preme court of West Virginia.
Mrs. Poffenberger, through the
State Gazette, of which she is editor
and general manager, is fighting the
fight that knows no quarter. The State
Gazette is a weekly, but during the
present fight for control of the county
extra editions are run off with the fire.
quency of metropolitan afternoon
journals, and the "Ninnyhammers''
which is the term Mrs. Poffenberger
applies to the opposition, who have
been in control of the county, are be-
ing given life and death battle for
the saving of their political scalps 1t
is the first time in the history of West
Virginia that the forces of either po-
litical party have been led by a wo-
man.
The liquor question is the para
mount issue, and the senatorial ques-
ton is a close second, with two COM
mittees clammoring for recognition
and two sets of candidates in the field.
The faction of which Mrs. Poffenberg-
er is the head opposes the abolition of
the saloon and favors the candidacy
of Senator n. B. Scott against Repre-
sentative William P. Hubbard.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

IN THE WORLD OF TRADE.

According to the experts in the
business and financial world there has
not been much of a change in the con-
ditions prevailing in it during the past
week. But there is no alarm over the
prospects for the future. Indeed, ev-
erything continues to point to large
and prosperous activity in the field of
business in the United States before
many more weeks have passed. Dis
missing these conditions as they now
exist, Henry Clews, in his current
weekly financial review, writes as fol-
lows:
"In the general business situation
there is little change. Confidence has
received considerable stimulus from
the fact that the farmers are having
another good year, but in nearly all
departments of industry there is a
spirit Of hesitation which still keeps
the volume of business below a year
ago. The question of cost continues
to be the great problem in all lines of
business, not only among consumers,
but equally with producers and distrib-
utors. Many staple articles of com
merce have shown a declining ten
dency which is hopeful, and suggests
that the country is on the way to re-
adjustment. Declining prices do not
usually stimulate business until it is
felt a settled level has been reached,
As soon as this is realized we may look
for more activity in trade. There is
already a better feeling in the iron
trade as q result Of the readjustmenE
