CHEERING REPORTS.

A travelling salesman, who for the
past AZ years has made annual or
quarterly trips through half dozen
states east of the Mississippi for a
large wholesale firm, has just return
ed to Boston from one of his journeys
on which he visited most of the i'm
portant places within a radius of 800
miles from Cincinnati.
Everywhere he found business, if
not booming, at least more brisk than
at the same time last year. He was
struck by the fact that business men
were exceedingly hopeful, and not at
all worried by fears of what the in
coming administration may do to the
tariff or to the currency. And this
was especially noticeable in places
where the Republican or the Progress
sive sentiment was stronger than the
Democratic. There were no appre-
tensions that the change in admins
tration would have any disturbing eff
feet upon business. Optimism pre-
vailed everywhere.

KANSAS COANENT
THE MINIMUM WAGE BILL.

In deferring until another session the
passage of a minimum wage bill the
state senate has done a wise thing,
under the circumstances. The matter
or a minimum wage for women workers
is TOO new in Kansas to be thoroughly
Understood and too many questions
nave been raised that should be inves-
tIgated before the legislature passes
such measure.
1t would be a mighty fine thing if
all women workers could be paid liv-
ing wages. There is no man with
proper regard for his fellow men who
Is not anxious for the time to come
when that will be done. But if the
passage of such a measure would re-
suit In the discharge of a large number
OF women employees or if it would
make the cost of labor in Kansas so
great that Kansas manufacturers and
merchants could not compete with
those of other states then it would not
be a good thing for Kansas.
These things and others are urged
against the bill and the legislature can
not possibly give the matter sufficient
investigation during this session. 1t is
safer to wait. 1t might be we'll for the
senate to appoint a committee of its
best men to investigate the matter and
publish their conclusions prior to the
next election for members of the house.
Then the question could be threshed
out during the campaign and the men,
bers go to Topeka with a better under
standing of it. Crude legislation has
been the bane of Kansas and we want
none of it on a question of so great
Importance as this.-Leavenworth

THE RIGHT NAN.

Real peace in Mexico awaits the ap-
pearance of another Porfirio Diaz.
Great men are produced by crises and
the crisis across the Rio Grande is
worthy of a Mexican Napoleon.
There is no such man on the political
horizon today, but Louis XVI said the
same thing when the mob spat in his
face. And yet there was little Italian
who stood watching, with arms crossed
and said "The fool,'' and he, when the
time came, brought up his guns, double
shotted with grape and blew the mob to
pieces and with it anarchy. 1t is very
often true of great national crises that
the right man comes from nowhere.
Let the United States devoutly hope
that such a man does appear or the
day will come when the Monroe Doc
trine will force the most expensive and
disagreeable task since the Civil war,
upon us.-Coffeyville Journal.
