D. d. Haggard, of Phillipsburg,
published a small book of clever
poems recently. In one of them, 1.-The
Sweetest Music he represented the
hooking bird as singing while in
flight. This gave Major Conway, of
the Norton Champion, a chance to
qualify as an expert naturalist. Major
Conway classed Mr.. Haggard with the
nature takers. He insisted that mock
ing birds not only do not sing while
flying, but also that they cannot do so.
Mr.. Haggard replies in a communica-
ton to the Phillips County Post in
which he quotes such naturalists as
John Burroughs, Neltjie Blanchjan,
and Professor G. D. Bunker, zoology
curator of the University of Kansas, to
the effect that hooking birds do sing
while they fly. Professor Bunker de-
clares that he has seen the hooking
bird singing and flying many times.
This would seem to indicate that the
cigars are on Major Conway.

EVENING CHAT
Women and Justice.
81 RUTH CAMERON.

What can 1 do for you, madam"
said the clerk at the inquiry office to
the efficient young woman in the trim,
tailored suit.
Pardon me, but think those peo-
pie were here before me-" said the eff
ficient young woman, indicting a man
and a woman who had been waiting
longer than she.
The clerk at the injury office at
tended to the wants of the two people
indicated, after which he came back
to the efficient young woman and an
swered two or three quick. efficient
questions for her. AS she walked
brisk1y away, after a pleasant thank
YOU" he peered after her with an ex-
preston of great interest on his face.
Well" 1 heard him say, that's the
first time ever saw a woman do that.
I've seen 'em rush in here, squeeze in
ahead of people who have been wait
ing ten minutes, and interrupt anyone
who was trying to talk to me. But
that's the first time I ever saw wo-
man insist on waiting until her turn.
Yes, there really must be something in
this new woman business after all, if
she's sample.
Don't you hope she is a sample of
what women are going to be some day
soon?
do.
For it seems to me that the quality
which women lack the most conspicu-
ously is just this same sense of justice,
this habit of playing fair, which that
woman displayed.
1 don't think it's wholly their fault
by any means. For centuries they
have been given chivalry and defer
ence and protection, as substitutes for
justice; is it strange, then, that they
should scarcely understand the mean
ing of that grand word?
Now let no one think I am depre-
ciating the value of courtesy and
Difference, and write me a hot letter
telling me that the world would be
poor without them. I know that al
ready. Only, l do not think that these
things should be made a substitute
for justice. They are splendid in ad-
dition to justice, but not in place of it,
Just as cake and ice cream are an
excellent complement to solid food,
but we do not want them in place of
bread and meat.
1t is such a queer notion that cOur-
teSy and justice are necessarily exclu-
sive of each other. One or the weirdest
arguments of the anti-suffragists is
that men will no longer give women
their seats in the cars when women
vote. How absurd! On that basis
men should not give up their seats to
members of their own sex who are not
able to stand by reason of old age or
infirmity; but 1 notice they do.
To return to the main road-if
the business and professional world.
they will need a stronger sense of JUS
tice than they now have. They must
learn to demand justice for them
selves and to show it to others. They
must learn not to crowd ahead OF
others in the waiting line, even if they
get good chance, and they must
learn to appreciate the bigger prin-
ciples of justice on which such little
decencies rest.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Editors VIII Elect Finch But V. II. Is
Uncertain.

The vice presidency of the Kansas
Editorial association is bone OF
contention at the meeting of the
editors this afternoon. The election of
officers will take place Immediately
before adjournment late today.
w. c. Markham of the Baldwin
Ledger is being pushed for the office
by the newspaper men of the eastern
portion of the state. The representa-
tives from central ana western Kan
sas, however, contend that as long as
Charles S. Finch, who will be elected
president, is from the same district
the western half of the state should
be represented. Consequently f. +.
Kelley of the Toronto Republican is
the man who has been named by
them.
The first thing on the program this
afternoon was the reading of a paper
sent in by ]. F. F'ahs of the Garden
City Telegram, who was not able to
attend the meeting. 1t was on 1.-The
Country Newspaper as a Business In
stitution." The paper was read by

A GREAT OFFICE.

Which is the most important cabinet
office? The prompt answer to this query
years ago would have been the secretarj
of state or secretary of treasury. A Wall
street financial journal, however, asserts;
that in these times the most important
office is the secretary, of agriculture.
The president has much to Go personally
with the policy of the state and treasury
departments, but the field now covered
by the secretary of agriculture is so broad
and technical, the president must rely on
the head of that department to exercise
the vast powers of his office without
much assistance from the White House.
The office of secretary of agriculture has
grown to be post of vital Importance to
the country. This cabinet official must
deal with many conditions of daily life,
particularly as they relate to the bettct-
ment of the agricultural population. He
has authority to provide better living
conditions. Farming is now carried on
far differently from what it was. Mr..
Wilson appreciates the tremendous inn
portance of the work of this department.
and he is probably already figuring how
to have its efficiency increased.-Boston
