ton of the remark as an expression of
profound admiration.
We shall do well, perhaps, to stick
to our own question of mans attitude
toward his assertive sister, so newly
and rudely raised at the national
capital. Did the ruffians who jeered
the marching women with such dis
graceful candor and impunity express
a sentiment shared by many men too
polite to voice it, or are the Washing
ton hooligans as alone in their opinion
as in their coarse freedom of speech?
This much can be said: However
the men of England may view the dis
orderly and destructive antics of the
English suffragists, the men of Amer
lea must admire for their common
sense as we'll as for their courageous
spirit the American women who have
made and kept equal suffrage a liv-
ing issue without in any instance re-
sortin~ to the excuses suggested by
countless examples across the sea.
Agree with them or differ from them,
Americans are bound to respect
American suffragists. 1t cannot be
understood too broadly and clearly
that the louis who were scandalously
allowed to insult the suffrage enthusi-
asts in Washington in no sense rep
resented the opinion or manners of
American manhood.

MEN AND SUFFRAGIsTS.

Mrs Flora Drummond, distinguish
ed even among British suffragists for
the energy of her argumentative
methods, is thoroughly convinced of
their efficacy. Every outbreak of
remonstrative disorder makes con-
verts to the cause of equal suffrage,
she observes. AS for the men, though
they may occasionally heckle the sis
terhood in a spirit of "boyish playful
ness approaching mob violence, she is
persuaded that a vast majority secret
ly admires the militant sisters.
General Drummond ought to
know her public. She has come into

HOME RULE FOR CITIES.

| Every session of the legislature af-
fords abundant evidence that there
should be an extension of the powers
of cities to take care of their own af-
fairs. They should not be compelled
to obtain permission from the state
to do those things which are of no
possible concern to anybody but them
selves.
A case in point is that of Topeka S
pipe organ bill. The city owns an
organ on which there is an indebted
ness of about $1,000 which has been
carried for years by few patriotic
citizens. The public is willing to re-
imburse these gentlemen but finds
there is no way to do it without an
act of the legislature.
An enabling act is introduced, takes
I'D the time of the lawmakers, which
might be employed on more import
ant matters, puts the state to the ex-
pense of printing and publication and
finally cumbers up the statute book
and is of no interest to anybody out
side of this city.
Another instance illustrative of this
is found at Girard. That little city
wanted to spend a small amount of
public funds on a free library. Ev-
erybody was willing but there was no
legal way to get at 1T.
One of the prominent women of the
place was chosen to come to the CAPT
tai and ask the legislature to let Gil
rard do what was desired. When
this lobbyist began mentioning her
mission to members they threw up
their hands and declared they would
oppose anything which would increase
taxation. After two weeks of hard
work in making explanations she fin
ally was able to go home carrying the
assurance that her bill would pass and
it did.
But Kansas cities are not alone in
being burdened by this relic of by
gone age. Even Chicago with her
more than two million people can do
little that she wants to do without
asking the consent of the farmers of
Illinois. =

FROM ANARCHY TO DEsPo1Iss1


Events in Mexico are showing how
human nature and the same rules
which controlled the fate of nations
long ago have as much force today as
they had in ancient times, or in the
days of Napoleon. The man on horse
back succeeds the chaos of revolution.
From anarchy the pendulum swings
back to despotism.
Everything indicates that Mexico is
entering upon a period of absolutism
at least as rigorous as the rule of Por-
firio Diaz. The army is to be greatly
enlarged. Rebels are to be shot as ban
dts when captured. No prisoners are
to cucumber the movements of gov
eminent troops. The men in authority
are apparently convinced that the only
chance of peace and order lies in ter
rorism and military power.
That is the inevitable outcome of the
breaking down of law and order. 1t is
the natural fruit of revolution which
substitutes a weak government for a
strong one and leaves a country in
fected with the virus of plotting and re-
volt, as a means of undoing the re-
suit of elections and subordinating the
civil authority of the state to force.
When compelled to choose between
tyranny and chaos any country will
take the despot It must, in self-pre-
servation. Nothing is so hopeless. from
every point of view, as anarchy; moth
ing so necessary as order.

BJRT E. BROWN.

In choosing Burt E. Brown as can
didate for the dictatorship OF the
reclamation bureau in Washington
the Kansas senate and house of rep
resentatives have made a wise selec-
ton. Probably no other young man
of Democratic principles is as well
known in Kansas and the west as
Burt Brown. For eighteen years he
has been ION the road" as the travel
ing men say, and in every city, town.
village and hamlet he has leaned over
his sample cases and spread the mes
sage of his party.
In 1911 he was president or the
state Democratic club. He presided
over the well remembered Wilson BAN
ouet in Topeka. He has taken numer-
Gus parts in Democratic activity in the
state and at the last election was a
candidate for secretary of state AT
this time he is secretary of the senate
and, that body has gone on record in
declaring that he has discharged his
duties faithfully and efficiently in
this position.

EVENING CHIT
Health Requisite for Marriage.
BIZ RUTxk CAMERON.

Health q Requisite for Marriage.
| The other day I received a wedding
/ invitation which made me feel very sad.
Why did I experience such an inap-
propriate feeling? Because I don't
think those two young people ought to
be married-at least not at present.
No, it isn't because he hasn't good
position and sufficient capital with
which to start home. 1 believe they
are fairly well fixed financially. The
| capital these two young people lack is
not financial at all; it's physical. They
are both of them very nearly bankrupts
in nervous energy and vitality. And I
think they run a far greater risk than
if they should marry without penny.
They say that love is likely to fly out
of the window when the grey wolf of
poverty comes in at the door. 1 think
he is even more likely to go fluttering
away when the gloomy wrath called
nerves begins to haunt the house,
1t is really surprising how little most
people have to say about health as a
requisite for a happy marriage.
We talk about congeniality and
similarity of tastes, we have much to
say about the financial requirements,
we advise this and that temperament
to mate with this and that disposition.
but how seldom we recognize the fact
that health has a great deal to do with
lation of life.
Nay more than in any other, since
marriage is the closest relation and
hence the one in which friction is most
likely to develop and most painful
when it does develop.
Now health and love together make
the most perfect oil for preventing
friction. But if either of these two
ingredients is lacking, the oil is not
perfect and the machinery is likely to
get out of order.
Look back over your married life.
reader friends, and see if most of your
quarrels and misunderstanding and
grievances have not come to you at
times when you were at a low ebb of
vitality. After you had had a few good
nights sleep and strength and poise
had come back to you didn't the big
troubles of yesterday look very small?
Just as in the concave and convex
mirrors at the amusement park We see
our reflected persons become abnor-
mally large or dwindle into nothing
ness. so our annoyances look when
viewed in the magnifying mirror of i'll
health or the reducing mirror of good
health and vitality.
If we want our children to make
happy marriages. we cannot do better
than to urge them to lay up health
and vitality against their mating time
even more carefully than they store up
money and linen and lingerie and
household possessions
For they have more chance of being
happily married without the latter than
without the former.

A Memory.
SAYS UNCLE CIV

In a word, those who persistently
seek happiness never find 1t because
they do not know what they seek.
Happiness is not an abstract thing
it is always found in relation to or
as a part of something else. For the
average human being it is the over
tone of healthy activities fasci-
nation of discovery, the JOY or strus-
gle or the glory of victory.
Humanity has never been able TO
attain happiness apart from its nor
NAL, everyday existence The spo-
radio and exotic features of life have
never brought lasting JOY. The saw
age, having lived with but little ef-
fort through countless generations
may find satisfaction in pasking IN
the sun The civilized man finds 1t
largely in work. Through many CEN
turtles his ancestors have lived by the
exertion of hand or brain, and ma
ture has fastened the habit upon
him. He must work or become a
degenerate. For him work, and work
only, forms the basis of life OF genu-
inc pleasure.
This rule holds true whether he
be rich or poor. The disc ontent of
the idle pauper is no greater than
the discomfort of the idle million
ARE Possibly. in the end, the for
mer has extracted more happiness
from life than the latter. He has
still the pleasures of hope and dies
without knowing that the things he
vainly desired were baubles.
Mere possessions do not make for
happiness. We do not appreciate that
which we have not greatly desired.
lima gination, stimulated by anticipa-
ton, multiplies the value of its OBJ
ject. The prize we fight for long ana
desperately seldom turns to dust ana
ashes. Those we win too easily sell
dom fail to disappoint. After all, 1t
is the swimming that makes most of
US happy.
But it is not good to be constantly
disappointed, so we set great store
upon results. Most of us, having in
lerited the necessity of toll, get our
greatest joy out of the satisfaction OF
that instinct, but we need the prize
to crafty our equally instructive de-
sire for proof of our skill and wis
dom.
: Recause no man does his best with
ont recreation and because play is
the best rest, we must have our play
time. No man enjoys his recreation
thoroughly who has not also enjoyed
his work. He must be fascinated by
each that he may get his mind off the
other. and thus come to each in turn
with fresh appetite.
The whole matter gets back at last
to the great truth that he Is happy
who lives normally, nor fancies that
some essential. merely incidental
thing is indispensable to his we'll
being.
The easiest way to attain happi-
ness. therefore, is to be useful. That
implies work, play and results. Hap
piness is not to be found in mere
nor in the pleasures of
sense alone. 1t is a matter involv-
ing the whole man-heart, hand and
brain. That which is too slight to
satisfy all three is too slight to bring
appiness-(Copyrig 1913, by
the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)
