KANSAS COAAENT
A STUDY IN cHARITY.

Anent the charity of the season..
woman IN Kansas City-1ikewise the
mayor and few others-have met a
problem in the psychology of giving.
coat she wished to cast off. There
fore, she decided to give it to some
poor woman. The woman selected re-
fused the gift, and another was tried
the coat was turned down." Finally,
the gift no longer became a gift--it
degenerated into the palest Of white
elephants. The mayor took possession
and made 1t city gift, but at last ac-
counts the coat still held the center
of the question box
Just why did the poor women re-
fuse the coat? Well, those who have
come. through long working associa-
ton, to know the mind of the poor
might say that a peculiar, subtle
knowledge of the eternal fitness of
things is theirs. The woman who
sought to give the warm fur coat did
SO from the best of motives. Other
it no longer useful to her, and she
was anxious that some worthy woman
might know and feel its comfort. But
Sealskln in the poorer quarters would
put strange stamp upon the owner
Had it been coat of cloth. the less
fortunate woman would have accepted
the gift gracefully. for then she could
go back among her own and be or
lIleHl. C0dlSklI WOulQ set IeT apart.
Aged finery on the woman whose
whole being proclaims the story OF the
lost silver spoon is pathetic, but cast
off luxuries on one whom lifelong hard
work and deprivations have hardened
is mockery, and the poor are as sensi-
tive as the rich when ridicule is the
point of view.-Coffeyville Journal.
GOOD BEHAVIOR COUNTS.
The first Republican to be Inaugural
tod 80 10 Gil he 17fF a.
ties was indicted into Office yesterday
This is only one of several remarkable
| changes noted in November.
Many states which had been reliably
Republican gave Democratic MAORI
ties and states depended upon Tor
Democratic results changed.
The inference is that the last cleo
ton was not so much trend to De-
mocracy as it was a protest against
existing conditions.
1t is one of the Indications that
good behavior in office counts. The
people are more anxious for good
government, than they are for party
success.
This condition may impress itself
upon the party leaders, making them
more careful of party pledges and
decency in state legislatures as well
as in congress.
1t doesn't hart state to change
from one party to the other occa-
sionaJly.-Wichita Beacon.
TAFT IN 1912.
The idle talk about the Republicans
nominating any candidate but Taft for
president is getting scarcer and scarcer.
Taft has made good. He has wise
and common sense policy and he is
filing it, without letting the unjust
and malicious criticisms swerve him.
He is one of the great men of the
world. There is opposition to him be-
cause his methods were not spectacu-
lar The United States is so large
that we need just such man as Taft
sitting on the lid. He will be unani-
mously renominated because the peo-
pie see that he has made good. The
Journal believes he will be reelected
because his administration will com
mend itself to the people. The more
they know of him the better they will
like him.-Lawrence Journal.

The verdict of the coroner's jury at
the inquest held over the dead body of

the woman came to her death by a
gun-shot wound at the hands of Nose
Williams husband. The facts de-
veloped at the inquest were as stated
in the last issue of The Herald and

Harmon's place, in No. II township
were alone at their home when the
killing occurred. The wonDan's body
was found lying on the piazza, and 1t

one-half miles this side of Pomaria, at

Pomaria to Prosperity, and had sat
down on the cross-ties. The engineer
said that his engine was almost on the
negro when he saw him, and 1t was
impossible to stop the engine before it
struck him. He said the negro ap-
