THE GRUDGE.

The grudge is variation of ego.
tism, writes DR.. Frank Crane in
Woman's World for July.
The more a man loves himself the
harder he can hate another.
The grudge is the one superior
power of small souls. A little. weak,
contemplate person can egcel a
great and good person in just one
thing, stubbornness. III
Grudges are like cats; though by
nature cruel, yet they are easily
domesticated and love home. / have
known gentle and pleasant people
who have housed a grudge for twen-
ty years.
A grudge Is a sort of insanity.
One usually encourages those feel
ings that make him happy; but one
keeps grudge because it makes
him wretched.
A grudge is generally formed by
enforced intimacy with people you
do not like. To be on good terms
with any person you must have one
or two things, love or distance.
A grudge paralyzes the reasoning
faculties. DON'T argue with the
McCanns about their hate of the
McMurphys. with the Frenchman
concerning his contempt for a Ger
nan, nor with the anarchist as to
bitterness toward aristocrats. Go
tut and argue with the north wind.

The Reflector's position that com
mission government for cities de-
ponds. on the commissioners and
that It does not save the city money
is borne out by experience. In Wich-
tia petitions are out for a special
election to vote on return to the
council form. Wichita has had a
somewhat acrimonious time with its
commission government and a cou-
pie of mayors and some commits
sioners (councilmen) have been re-
called. 1t is claimed commission
government has been unrepresenta-
tive and expensive to Wichita. Taxes
have increased and this week $685.
900 In bonds were issued to pay
running expenses. The Topeka Cap
ital says: Undoubtedly the enthus-
iastic advocates of this form of
government have claimed too much
for It. It was claimed that it would
effect great saving in the cost of
administration. That has not prov
en- true here In Topeka apparently"
The same is true Of Abilene. More
expense is incurred in employees and
more money is spent in running ex-
penses than under the council sys-
tenn. There has been friction and
politics which drove to resignation
one Of the best men ever in office
in the county. Conducted by fair
men earnestly working for the city's
good and not for personal politics
commission government has much !
to commend it-but 1t depends, just |
as the council system depends. on the
character of the officials and 1t is
in some respects more subject to
misuse than the old system because
The power is more cloely concen-
rated.

CHEER up.

Not much corn will be raised III
Dickinson county-that's the cold
truth.
But there has been raised one OF
the best wheat crops in the county's
history. The people of the county
have some two million dollars in the
bank. The creamery industry is
paying them some 100000 year
in cash. The alfalfa and stock re
paying lot more.
So far as losing the corn crcD IS
concerned 1t will not affect the
county's prosperity a hairsbreadtn.
The county has raised more dol
lars worth Of products this year
than it did in any year of the nine
ties. It's people are able to go a
year without raising dollars worth
of anything-instead of some three
million dollars worth as they will
this year for its $4,000 population.
Then there Is time to raise fodder
and when the late summer rains
come you will see broad smiles on
the peoples faces and there will be
plenty of prosperity to go around.
Dickinson county is the garden
spot of the state and If 1t has a few
dusty days at times, 1t is so busy
and happy that 1t does not notice
them.

The common superstition that the
world will "come to an end" some
time is questioned by some savants.
Gustave Jaumann, a German profess
sor, has written an article to prove
that the solar system will go on for
ever exactly as it does now. The
suns heat will be kept up by absorb
ing gravitation. This implies that
gravitation is a force like electricity
and heat, which takes time to travel
space and which accumulates in bod
les. His theory is reasonable enough
If he can find facts to back 1t, and
he thinks he can. Whether other
savants will think so, too, time has
not disclosed.
