KANSAS COHMENT
THE WAY OF KANSAS.


Just at the present time there is
too much of disposition on the part
or a few of the would be factional
leaders on both sides in the Republi-
can party to attempt to dictate what
shall be the test of party loyalty.
Personally we would be pleased to see
every former member of the party get
in line and support the ticket from
top to bottom, but ii is folly to at
doing things which they have no in
tention Of doing. Some of us have
been in the habit of forgiving and
forgetting so long that it has become
a second nature with us. There are
others who are dissatisfied with the
way things were done in Chicago, who
never will forget, however much they
may forgive. These men are and all
ways have been Republicans, they in
tend to vote that ticket this fall, with
the possible exception of president. 1t
in the party and let them vote as they
please, or drive them out possibly for
all time. We prefer they should take
the latter course and certainly no
American citizen should be blamed
who resents a real or fancied wrong
done in the name of the party by I'M
authorized party leaders. Kansas has
a way of her own of doing things and
Kansas Republicans will no doubt De
able to handle their own matters IL
the satisfaction of all in spite of those
would be party leaders who were so
fatty repudiated at the May conven-
tions. The majority of the party will
rule as usual and the rest of US should
take our medicine gracefully, even IL
we don't like it.-Smith County Pho
neer.

FORESIGHT IN BRIDGES.

The board of city commissioners OF
Topeka admit that they live in fear
that one of the 10 weak bridges and
culverts in the city will fall down with
a human load any day. The commits
sioners have spotted Is structures of
this kind inside the city limits. At the
election August 6, they ask the voters
of the city to approve a bond issue of
$151 900 to pay for new indestructible
REINFORCED concrete bridges.
The commissioners do not deny that
s151, 900 is considerable money But
they do deny that it is not needed for
the purpose planned. They believe
firmly that the concrete arches will
in few years nearly save their cost.
Every year the city spends hundreds
of dollars repairing the plank floors
of pile and tin structures. Each
year it is necessary to set aside ex-
penditures for the repairing of the
Lridge superstructures
All over the country, municipalities
are deserving the tin bridge As their
substitutes, concrete bridges are built.
The concrete, if constructed properly,
lasts forever. 1t doesn't require re-
pairing every year. 1t isn't necessary
to rebuild every few years. It is safe
and the city is not liable to meet i'm
mense damage suits.
The commissioners should have en-
enlargement in their bond issue. The
voters to the best interests of the city
should favor the bonds. 1t is better to
spend money for permanent bridges
than spend it for damage suits

GGlf6 Aus AA-oO.
Probably no quotation from the
Bible carries more of the true Chris
tian spirit in so few words as does this
text. Selfishness and greed are not
only deplored but viewed with alarm
in the Good Book which is the founda-
ton of all literature and all standards
of right living. But a thought not
generally recognized in Sunday church
sermons is the thought that, before
you give, you must first acquire some
thing TO give. The parable of the
widow and her mite is a good parable,
and it has a significance. It means
that the desire to be charitable is the
first consideration, but in no place in
the Bible can you find the assertion
that the widows quarter-cent coin
could do more material good to hui
mainly than the sheckels of the rich.
Her heart was right. and her idea
highly commendable, but a rich man
with the same kind of heart and idea,
could be of more use to the world at
large. Her act was a sacrifice. The
man whom God has given mental and
physical ability to acquire great riches,
can part with vast sums without max
ing as much of sacrifice as that poor
widow made, but the cold, logical fact
remains that he can do more with his
thousands of pence than the widow
could do with her fraction of one
penny.
Within this week, Bale Waggener
of Atchison spent over $4,000 because
he loves the human race. To him it
was no great sacrifice. Before he
spent that large sum, he knew that,
even should the surgeons fail in the
impending operation, he had enough
over and above $4,000 to pay his
funeral expenses and leave something
substantial for his family. To give,
with him, is pleasure, rather than a
dutiful sacrifice. He gets further
pleasure from the fact that of that
$4,000, not one cent was taken from
the people who were his beneficiaries
that he won it fairly with the brain
his Maker gave him, and not by hiking
prices on some necessary of life.
There is a Bible passage concerning
the rich man, the camel and the eye
of a needle. But it is a parable
figure of speech. And when the Great
Judge uses that verdict on some rich
men, the chances are good that the
comparison will be made and illus
trated with a very, very large needle
and a camel about the size of a flea.

Cloud Photography.

Your cloud picture depends largely
upon your choice of a subject. Rivers
and small lakes, mountains and hills
lend the best contrast, while trees in
the immediate foreground come next.
Wide expenses of level lands or vast
stretches of water are unsatisfactory.
If you desire an ocean cloud effect, be
sure to place cliff or some prominent
landmark in the foreground to break
the monotony.
The exposure for cloud effect, made
necessary by the laws of light and OPP
tics, is necessarily very rapid. Anon
