SUBSIDIES ARE UNPOPULAR.

But little has been said, recently,
about that thinly veneered subsidy
graft, the scheme to give the Amer
lean merchant marine a free pass
through the Panama canal. Last win
ter a few congressman, backed by a
lobby of ship owners, were waving the
flag and spreading eagle feathers in
their attempt to skin the government
out of millions. They were using an
American improvements for Ameri-
cans talk as ammunition in the bat
tie of hot air. They proposed that all
American vessels pass through the
Panama canal without paying tolls,
and the foreign vessels be held up
for an excessive fee. And they had
the nerve to use the word American"
in connection with their demand
When England and other maritime
nations protested against the idea, and
suggested that it would be no more
than fair to open the canal to the
world, if the merchant marine of one
nation couldn't afford to pay tolls,
the lobby came back with a regular
shower of stars and stripes, pleas Of
patriotism and a lot of other bunk
They advised war with England and
lot of other foolishness. They call
ed attention to the gee-rand old flag,
but they neglected to touch on the
vital points of the question; they neg
lected to admit that the canal was not
digged by the ship owing gang, but by

WAsHRuRN COLLEGE.

Washburn college, like numerous
other educational institutions of the
United States. is not self sustaining.
To keep up an institution of the cali
bre of Washburn would make it ex-
elusive. The country boys. who have
graduated from Washburn into law,
medicine or other professions or arts,
would still be following a cultivator,
but for outside donations to Wash
burn college. To be self sustaining,
Washburn would require a prohibitive
tuition fee, and would be thinly pat
ronized by pampered pets of the rich.
The boys and girls from ordinary fam
lilies would derive no benefits from
Topeka's leading educational institu-
ton.
But the fame of Washburn is such
that it is constantly within the sight
of the philanthropists of the world; it's
value as an institution is known and
appreciated. Donations and endow-
ments from known and unknown
sources have supported and improved
the college until it ranks in the first
division of sectarian colleges of the
nation.
This year the college has in sight
about $3.50, 600 in endowments, which
puts it in excellent shape, and guaran-
tees several needed improvements.
The endowments include gift of $50
900 from Andrew Carnegie, who does
not want to die rich, and has the best
idea for getting practical results from
his money. He has spent years in
proving his theory that money spent
in the education of young people gets
better results than money spent in
paying the grocery and beer bills of
the old down and-outers.
A young man, just out of high
school, may go to an endowment col
Iege, pay a moderate tuition fee and
acquire a science or profession that
would be prohibited to him if that
college was left on its own resources,
and compelled to collect a tuition that
would make the school self-sustaining.
He does not lose his self respect, be-
cause it is not a charity institution.
He graduates into the world of bust
ness, science. profession or art, and is
in a position to help himself and 9TH
ers.

EVENING CHIT
The Old Old Question.
BIZ RyTA CA&1ERON.

Is the servant question quite so ter
r1ble a problem as we have been led
to think 1t =?
Some weeks ago I wrote a little
article giving my opinion that it was
not, and that woman who would
treat those who served her reason
ably and considerably need not pay
exorbitant wages or change maids ev-
cry few weeks. 1 expected nothing
but criticism for this stand as the OPP
posite has so often been claimed in
women'S columns and women's maya
zines. Therefore 1 was more than
happy to receive the following corro-
boration of my article in a letter
which evidently came from a woman
of education, refinement and position.
will you allow me to thank you
for your very sane paragraphs on the
servant question: !" writes this woman.

houses, in winter and in summer life,
in small and in large families. 1 have
come closely into contact with many
servants. And have never known

timenta1 way whatever, among my
most loyal friends. In trouble they
have helped me as no one else could,
by taking all care off of me. Over and
over they have shown the same self
control, the same kindly wish to be of
service, the same dignity that we prize
so much among ourselves. 1 am in

wants not only for their skill but for
their spirit. This spirit is not due to
any magical thing I do for them, but
simply to their own fine characters"
Can the servant problem be so alb
solutely hopeless as many mistresses
would have US believe when one wo-
man has found it so very simple?
This spirit she says, lis not due
to any magical thing 1 do for them"
Perhaps there are some women who
would differ from her. Evidently she
does not consider as magical or eX-
traordinary the use of courtesy and
consideration toward those who serve
her and a habit of remembering that
they are human beings like herself,
with good qualities that deserve APP
probation.
There are many women to whom
such an attitude would seem most eX-
traordinary and magical. Such women
will always have a servant problem.
They will always be writing to the
magazines about the rudeness. the I'M
relia bility and the inefficiency of their
servants, and will never reflect that
it is barely possible that these ser
wants are a mirror of those with
whom they live.
You think I am prejudiced in favor
of the servant side of the question?
Only as am always prejudiced in
favor of that side which has not the
opportunity or the ability to speak for
itself

GREAT EXPORTS.

With the first signs of a slowing
down of certain phases of business ac-
tivity in eastern centers-a check
noticed in orders for the future rather
than in the actual handling of mer-
chandise of any kind-came indica-
tions of widening exports. The in
slant American manufacturers and
other producers felt less concerned
than they had been for many months
with the problem of supplying the de-
mands of their customers, they began
to push their foreign trade, with i'm
mediate results.
In April the value of the exports of
domestic merchandise was 10000, 900
in excess of the figures for the CORE
spending month of 1912. Imports fell
off more than $1S,00O,000 in the same
time. The surplus of exports over i'm
ports was less than $14, 100000 in
April, 1912. Last month it was more
than $50, 100000. For the ten months
ending with April the excess of ex-
ports over imports was almost $685.
100000, a margin which has been sur
passed but twice in the history OF the
country.
Such facts tell an impressive story
of immense national resources and a
trade of the country. Any serious de-
crease in domestic trade would quick
ly be followed by SO great an expan-
sion of the exports of American prod
Ucts that many lines of industry would
find the loss at home wholly or in
large part offset. 1t is evident, also,
that there would be rapid accumula-
ton of credits in Europe which might
be drawn upon for gold in case of any
monetary stringency on this side of
the Atlantic.
This change, in turn, would tend
powerfully to stimulate large use of
capital in the United States in new
undertakings, with trade and indus
trial revival the natural result. Ma
tional prosperity rests on a wider and
surer base now than ever before. For
eign trade goes farther than at any
other time in the country's history to
insure great and continuous business
activity.

The Danger of Whooping Cough.

Many persons regard whooping cough
as tedious and annoying, but quite
without serious Importance. Unfor-
tunately that mistake often leads to
the neglect of the disease itself and
the failure to isolate the patients prop
erly. Recent statistics show that of the
children under 1 year of age who have
whooping cough one in four dies. The
mortality decreases rapidly with adj
vancing age, and at 5 years of age
one patient in so dies. Ten thousand
children die of this disease every year
in the United States.
Even when whooping cough does not
result fatally, it as still to be dreaded,
for it may be followed by consumption,
since the patients powers of resistance
are often greatly weakened by the vio-
lent and exhaustive cough.
The disease is highly contagious, al
though the offending germ has not yet
been discovered. Consequently the
mother or the nurse of a child with
whooping caugh ought never to take it
into public conveyances, or to enter
tainments, or send it to school or 70
church-anywhere. in short, where it
will expose other children to the infec-
ton.
The disease begins like a simple cold
in the head that rapidly goes to the
chest.-Youth's Companion.

err spoke. Then she added, isn't it
strange that it should be you whom
our tower of refuge saved?"
Stranger still that you should be
here to welcome me. Madeline, you
wouldn't have the heart to refuse me
now that you have saved me? The
tower would have been built in vain

An Old-TIme Window Smasher.

In the frantic search for an effec-
tive means of dealing with the suf-
fragette raids, some one has dug up
the following entry in the privy coun-
Gil book, preserved among the historic
records of England:
AT st. James the third day of
April, 1913, the Earl of Surrey, being
sent for to appear before the council,
was charged by the said presence of
a lewd and unseemly manner of walk
ing in the night about the streets and
breaking with stones of certain win
dows He could not deny that he had
practiced these evil doings, and sub
mitted himself to such punishment as
should be thought good Whereupon
he was committed to the Tower"
The record further states that the
noble earl had to do time, being incar-
cerated in the Tower for one calendar
month. He was ultimately liberated
on his own recognizance of $1,000 to
be of good behavior. A little later he
was decapitated on Tower Hill at the
age of 80. This positively looks like
a threat.-New York Tribune

The late Lew Schumacher. who was
buried at ElDorado this week, held an
enviable record among Kansas news
paper men. Schumacher had friends
galore and no enemies. And the
Schumacher method should be food for
thought to cubs who are just start
ing in the game. This is the secret
in a nutshell: Schmucker was a fear
less writer, and he slammed where
slams were required, but he never
slammed a man by reason of personal
enmity, and would rather abandon a
punitive campaign than to resort to
the bushwhacking methods of the
ordinary liar.
