Husband or the Children?
Wife Often Must Take Her Choice
and II Many Times Loses Her
Affection of husband.

BY Dorothy Dir
ROBABLY the most

n ROBABLY the most difficult
~ problem that a woman ever has
to face is when she is required to
hold the scales of justice between her
husband and her children, and decide
how much of her time and attention
belongs to each.
OF course there are women who are
temperamentally all wives. There
are other women who are, by nature,
all mother For these the question set
ties itself There are also some WON

the riddle of whether it is best and
W1SeSt for a woman TO spoil her 1T
TEST baby or her biggest baby.
He Is Proud
One of the things that women can
never understand is that. except in rare
cases, a baby, even his own baby. is
the most uninteresting little animal in
existence to a man. He is proud of il,
and he is fond of it in theoretical
way. but he's bored stiff If he has to
spend more than five minutes at time
in the infants society.
Therefore, when he comes home of
an evening, after having paid his COM
pliments to Miss or Mr. Baby, he wants
some rational amusement he wants
his wife to sit with him and talk to
him after dinner, as has been their
won't or to go out with him to the
places OF amusement tucy nave DGe4
in the habit of freQuenting.
On her part the woman is absolutely
obsessed by the baby She can get all
the excitement all the amusement. all
the pleasures she wants by watching
the cute way the baby breathes and
the wonderful way il opens its eyes and
shuts them again. She would be per-
fectly blissful If her husband would
sit on the other side Of the cradle and
rhapsOdize with her; and If he won't
she leaves him to read his paper alone
while she wOrships at the shrine Of
the cradle
1t is literally true that there are
many homes in which, after the COM
ing of the first baby. the man of the
house simply exists as d purveyOr Of
food, and clothes. and pleasures for
the children. He doesn't even have an
identity, nor a name He is only pa
pa" even to his wife. And she never
thinks OF consulting his pleasures or
preferences, nor doing anything for his
enjoyment
A Rare Breed.
Now and then we do observe one
OF those masculine angels and see a
man who has no life outside of his
children; but the breed is rare. The
average man is sufficiently fond OF
his offspring, but because he loves
Johnnie. and jamie, and Mary. it has
not inoculated him against a taste for
a few other outside pleasures.
Right here is where the wife's

SAYS UNCLE CIV

Pity him so mazed in his won imag-
innings that he cannot grasp the real
tiles of life For life is no wrath, -
earth is not phantasma goria, and the
wonder is that men privileged to live
in goodly world will persist in ignor-
ing kindly facts to walk amid gnomes
and hobgoblins and monsters of their
own creation.
There is, after all, something to be
said for the lot of the "earthworm.'
He may lack vision but he has the
wisdom to taste deeply of homely joys
and is immune from those innumer-
able insanities which We describe as
advanced theories or rot" accord
ing to our individual views.
The silliest, saddest creature in the
world is the person who cannot get
down to earth. Yet there are millions
of us who seek happiness through
closing our eyes to palpable and in
sistent facts, and the higher thought"
lunacy, no matter what form it may
take, is bound to become more or less
of a fad. That it is only an ever-re-
current Jad, having neither semblance
of permanent form nor of permanent fol-
lowing. is proof of it's basic error. 1t
includes a thousand socalled philoso-
phies and another thousand near-relig-
ious, none of which touches the vital
needs of the race, and none ever ap-
proaches practical application.
1t may be said in passing that re-
ligions endure-and it matters not
what you think of the theologies upon
which they are based-because they do
touch the practical, everyday needs of
their adherents. In this they are vitality
different from the higher thought
movements. 1t is one thing to point to
the sunshine on the summit and argue
therefrom encoura cement for the man
who tolls upward, and quite another to
be so busy looking at the fairy lights
about the peaks that you forgot to
climb. The trouble with most of our
higher thought" is that it is so impalp-
able and so lacking in substance that
in only mystifies thise who would grasp
it. From a cold logical and scientific
standpoint, the strength of the great re-
ligions lies in their all-embracing grasp
of the real and the ideal. The same
is true of the PHILOSOPHERS that have
endured. The world is struggling to-
ward the ide,l but it will have no sus-
tanned interest in an idealism that
can't be expressed in the terms of real
everyday horse sense.
Our devotees of freakish, fanciful
buffeting the empty air to repulse hob
COLLINS that they alone can see. They
had much better be engaged in war
fare against ignorance, vice and bad
government. He who dwells close to
earth and recognizes only such evils
as he actually comes into contact
with knows that this is a goodly world
and that there is plenty of progress
moving. He istroubled by no impalp-
able dangers. The thing that he can
touch and see keeps him busy inter-
ested and happy.-(Copyrigh 1913 by

SENATOR'S BY DIRECT VOTE.

In 1896 the Peoples party adopted
a platform which contained a plank
in favor of the election of president,
vice president and United States sena-
tors by a direct vote of the people,
and nominated William J. Bryan for
the presidency as the Democrats had
done some two weeks earlier.
Direct election of senators had been
demanded by the Union Labor conven-
ton of 1888 and by the Peoples party
convention of 1892, and when the pres
Dental year. 1900, arrived the de-
mand was much more general and
steadily increasing. In that year Mr..
Bryan was again the nominee of the
Peoples party (fusion wing) and the
Democratic party, and this time the
platforms of both parties declared for
the popular election of senators, that
of the Democrats reading: 1--WE favor
an amendment to the federal constitu-
ton providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people,
Now that the amendment has been
adopted after many years of hard
fighting, says the Chicago Record
Herald, it is natural that Mr.. Bryan
should express his qualification Eat be-
ing the official to proclaim the consti-
tutional change" And another thing
is worth noting in this connection. We
find divers planks in the old platforms
adopted by the minor party organiza-
lions that have been taken very seri-
ously of late though they were de-
nounced and ridiculed or ignored as
ultra radical by those who were AFRO
giant in the possession of power and of
the grateful but misleading thought
that they knew it all. Joining with
such a strong and self-satisfed ma
jority may be both a pleasant and a
profitable occupation, but it doesn't
necessarily settle political issues for

THE POET LAUREATE.

Alfred Austin the poet laureate of
England is dead. Why he should have
been the poet laureate may never be
known, unless as alleged, his appoint
ment was due to special favor of the
crown.
Thomas Carlyle once said of our own
George Washington: He was no great
man. He was a good surveyor maybe,
but he was no great man." To para
phrase Carlyle's remarks, Austin was a
good lawyer or newspaper correSpon-
dent, perhaps, but he was no poet.
In the place once occupied by Tenny-
son he was like a pea rafting around
in a hogshead. The absurdity of the
situation is emphasized when it is re-
called that England numbers among
her citizenship such a man as Kipling,
whose verses, like those of Tennyson
will be remembered when Alfred Aus
tin and his writings will have been for
gotten.

office since Dryden is a long one

HARVEST Be EARLY.
VIII Cut Wheat in Some Counties This
Week, Says Hopkins.

Because Of the recent hot weather
the Kansas wheat harvest will begin
a week or ten days earlier than was
expected q month ago, according to a
statement issued today by u. G. Hop
kins state labor commissioner. In
Sumner and Harper counties wheat
will be cut this week and Hopkins says
there is a demand for several hundred
harvest hands in those counties.
The hot weather of the last week
has ripened the grain faster than was
expected. As a consequence the har-.
vest will begin more than a week ear
lier than had been planned. Letters
and kilograms received by the state
labor commissioner today indicate the
last of the week and the first of next
week. Several hundred harvest hands
are now needed in those counties,
Hopkins states.
Harvest will probably not begin in
Edwards, Barton and other western
counties until late next week or tho
week following. A statement regard
ing the number of hands needed in the
western wheat counties will probably
be issued by Hopkins in a few days.

Frisco Receivers to Cut Off Many Big
Salaries.

ST. Louis. June further evidence

receivers intimated to a reporter that
B. F. Yoakum would not be retained
as chairman of the board of directors
at $4,000 a year.
Mr. Yoakum now has no voice in the
affairs of the road" said the receiver.
His status will be determined after
we have gone over the affairs of the
road, with circuit Judge Sanborn.
TT is possible Mr.. Yoakum will be
retained only in an advisory capac-
ity."
The receivers, Thomas H. West and
B. L. Winchell have gone to st. Paul
to confer with Judge Sanborn regard
ing Frisco matters. 1t was said today
the receivers would save 100000 a year
by cutting salaries of high officials of

JOSIAH Paddock DEAD
Retired Employee of Santa Fe Shops
Dies After Long Illness.

Josiah Paddock. a retired employee
of the Santa Fe, died this morning at
his home two miles east of the city
on Seward avenue road. Death resulted
after long illness.
He was born September s, 1s43 in
Preble county, Ohio, and was married
to Katherine Lake at Indianapolis,
Ind, March 80, 1865.
They moved to Topeka in 1884 and
have made their home here ever since.
Mr.. Paddock is survived by his wife
and three sons, Rev. e. S. Paddock of
Tucumcari. N. M, L. o. Paddock and
c. E. Paddock of Ell Paso, N NJ.
Mr.. Paddock was employed as a
machtnist in the Santa Fe shops for 21
years but retired seven years ago on
account of bad health. He and his wife
moved to small farm two miles east
of the city on the Seward avenue road
where it was hoped that he would re-
cuperate.
Mr.. Paddock was one of the best
known shopmen in the city. His son,
L. o. Paddock. will come here for the
funeral. The funeral will be held at
the Seward Avenue Baptist church at
2 o'clock Friday afternoon

DISEASES OF CHILDREN.

It is not so long ago since certain
diseases incident to childhood were
regarded as a matter of course and
little effort was made to prevent the
youngster from taking them.
Among these were whooping-cough.
measles. and mumps. The diseases
considered dangerous and to be avoid
ed were scarlet fever and diphtheria.
Recent Investigations by medical
men show whooping-co is almost
as deadly as scarlet fever and that
measles is fatal oftener than either.
According to the mortality statistics
compiled by the United States census
bureau in 1906, from a registration
area slightly less than one-half of the
population of the United States, there
were 1924 deaths from whooping-
cough in that area in children under
5 years of age. The United States
Public Health Reports show that in
1910 the death rate per hundred thou
sand was as follows: whooping-cough,
ia per cent; scarlet fever, Ills per
cent; measles, 1913 per cent, and
diphtheria, PA per cent.
Reports from thirty states show that
6,251 children died of whooping-
cough, 4,232 from scarlet fever and
$3.50 from diphtheria in these states
during the year 1911. The relative
mortality from whooping-cough,s scar
let fever and diphtheria is essentially
the same throughout the country
whooping-cough being almost every
where more fatal than scarlet fever
and less fatal than diphtheria. Whoop-
ing-cough is an especially serious dis
ease in the southern states, as is
shown by the fact that in North Caro-
line 736 children died of whooping-
cough in 1911 against a total of 447
from scarlet fever, measles and diph-
liberia combined. The death-rate from
whooping- in North Carolina in
1911 was 1922 per cent against ia
per cent for the whole United States.
1t hardly seems necessary, says the
Journal of the American Medical So
ciety to give any more statistics to
prove what a serious and fatal dis
ease whooping-cough is and to show
that, instead of being a trifling af-
fair as it is usually considered to be
by the laity, it is a condition of the
utmost gravity. Any disease which
kills ten thousand children per annum
is a serious one. If bubonic plague
were to kill that many children in the
United States in one year. the whole
world would quarantine against our
country. A child dead of whooping-
cough is just as dead as a child dead
of plague.

fall in consequence; prices actually adj
vanced after the duty hides was
taken off in 1909. They may say that
not much revenue is to be expected
from the importation of boots and
shoes. The reason is hattering and it
is perfectly true. American shoes are
the most elegant in form, the best
made, the best as rule. Anybody who
has watched feet and shoes in London.
Paris or Hamburg, anywhere else
broad, knows how inexpressibly and
hopelessly clumsy most of the foreign
shoes look. There is no ChauviniSm
about this. we think 1t is a fact. What,
then have the American boot and shoe
manufacturers to fear from free boots
and shoes? Lower wages of labor is
the expressed fear an ordinary fear
when tariffs are being operated on with
the knife. But if prices of product are
not to be affected, if no flood of impor-
tations is to be feared, what is there
to complain about? A duty not worth
the collecting is removed. If nobody ic
helped, nobody is hurt.
Is this efficiency and economy, this
faculty of self-sustainment without
abutment on a tariff wall, not to be
found in American industries general
ly?-New York Sun.
