MIR. GORDON IS HOPEFUL.
Pleased at Interest Church Is Taking
to Better Social Condition.

The Rev. Robert Gordon of the First
Baptist church sees a hopeful sign in
the interest which the churches are
taking in the better nent of social con-
ditions.
"A number of the larger denomina-
tions have appointed social service
commissions and some have secretaries
giving their whole time to this special
work. said Mr.. Gordon. Labor Sun
day is now a calendar day for many
churches.
1.-The social service commission Of the
Baptist church has taken an advance
step recently in calling a general coUn-
ell of all religious and temperance
bodies to consider action for the i'm
provement of social conditions. Our
people are being enlightened regarding
the dangers involved in monopoly, low
wages child labor and other evils The
program adopted calls for living
wage as a minimum in every industry
and the highest wage that each indus
try can afford as the ultimate, the re-
duction of the hours of labor to the
lowest practicable point and release
from employment for all at least one
day in seven.

| planned the matter thoroughly and
completely. Mr.. Winch is connected
with the press department, at the head
of it or ought to be; in fact. he is and
is well placed
There are several reasons why we
don't parade" Mr.. Winch said. 1.-The
primary one is that Colonel Cody
1 wishes to conserve the strength of men
and horses for a bright, snappy per
formance in place of tiring them out
with a long grind of street marching
Then, again, the merchants object to
1 the blocking of streets. They expect to
| have the early morning crowds do
| shopping and for that purpose spend
considerable money in advertising with
the papers on show day, or at least
they should if they are as wide awake
as they should be.
THE Wild West and Far East is en-
! t1rely unlike circus in many more
ways than the legal aspects. A circus
merely runs itself around a ring. The
| Wild West horses are not trained for
gentle pastimes; there is nothing stere-
otyped; it's smash, bang, zip, boom all
the time. Riders and horses need all
| the rest they can get, for the work
they do in the arena is very hard
Another thing. the day of giving
something for nothing is disappearing,
both in mercantile and other walks of
life You on this paper don't tell
fellow he can have a years subscrip-
N4OIA 1I0t 70 see IL ne likes the paper
before subscribing. You have taken
years to build up the institution Peo-
pie take your word for it that the
paper is good, and with us, in a SINH
lar manner, the prestige is established.
We do not need to resort to u tawdry
senseless street pageant to make the
public believe we have something
worth while.'
How is Colonel Cody's health?'
Fine; never better. The entire
western trip has been one of continual
ovations for the old scout. Everywhere
he has been accorded a royal recep-
ton; business has been exceptionally
big from the opening day. We have
been fortunate, too, in missing bad
weather; the storms have just seemed
to edge off from US on the entire
route. The colonel will never appear
in Topeka again in the saddle. This
is positively his farewell visit here He
has one more year to do bidding the
public goodbye, and in November,
1912, when Buffalo Bill steps down
from the saddle for the last time,
America will lose its famous frontier
character for all time. Colonel Cody
will lead z busy life when he does re-
tire He has mines and farms and
hotels and hundred other things that
would require personal attention of a
dozen men.

for several days and was convinced he
was a crook Thinking he could learn
something from the fellows quarters.

of getting his suit case.
When the door was opened, the room
was found to be full of the opium
fumes. Two women occupied the place
and had concealed the pipes when they

An outraged citizen of MarySviIle writes
to the public utilities commission to com
plain that the Union Pacific railroad
charged him ten cents extra in cash fare
for a ride from Frankfort to his home and
he wants the commission to stop the rail-
road from this pernicious practice. The
reason the man did not buy his ticket
at the depot was, he alleged, that there
was no agent there to sell him one When
he came to pay cash fare on the train he
was stuck for that extra dime.

GIRLS IN CAGES.

South Sea islanders Keep Young No
men Secluded Until Marriage.
In some parts of New Britain the
natives have custom of placing
young women in strict seclusion before
marriage by imprisoning them in cages
for several years until they reach a
manageable age.
The Rev George Brown. who has
spent many years of his life in the
south sea islands endeayoring to stamp
OUT polygamy and cannabalism among
the natives. describes how on one oc-
casion he inspected a number of these
human cages The atmosphere inside
them was hot and sitting He says:
THE cage was quite clean and con-
tanned nothing but a few lengths Of
bamboo for holding water There was
only room for a girl to sit or lie down
in a crouched position on the bamboo
platform. and when the doors were
shut it must have been nearly or quite
dark inside.
They are never allowed to come out
except once day to battle in a dish
or wooden bowl placed close to each
cage. They are placed in the cages
when quite young and must remain
there until their marriage"

TO REARRANGE STARS
IN THE AMERICAN FLAG,
Ansberry Plan Would Make 1t Easy to
Add Star at Any Time.

Representative Timothy T. Ansberry
has introduced a bill at Washington
which provides for the Encouragement
of the stars in the American flag. The
plan which Mr.. Ansberry proposes, he
says. will make it easy to add stal
at any time a state may be admitted
without disturbing the general sym
metry of the design.
At the present time there are forty,
six stars in the flag, but if New Mexico
ana Arizona are admitted at the pres
ent session of congress provision will
have to be made for two more stars.
There are six rows of stars in the
present flag, four of them containing
eight stars each and the remaining two
seven each. From top to bottom the
six rows are as follows: Eight, seven,
eight eight. seven and eight Previ-
Gus to the admission of Oklahoma,
when there were forty-fve stars, there
were three rows of eight and three Of
seven, beginning with an eight star
row at the top.
Mr.. Ansberry's bill is worded in
somewhat technical mathematical
terms, but the design is quite simple
when drawn out on paper The bill
amends sections 1871 and 1892 of the
revised statutes as follows:
Section 1871. The flag of the United
States shall be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white, and
the union of the flag shall be as many
stars, white in a blue field, as there
are states, the stars to be arranged uni
form in distance from one another in
five arcs in combination, the centers of
the ares to be the apices of regular
pentagon, the radius of the arcs to be
equal to one-fourth the distance of the
stars from center to center.
Section 1892. Stars for the new states
shall be added to the union of the flag
by extending the arcs, and such addi-
tons shall take effect on the 4th day
of July then next succeeding such ad-
mission
