KANSAS AuING AGAIN.

Again there is something the matter
with Kansas and the same diagnosti-
clan is on the case. All remember
when William Allen White asked his
famous question and answered it him
self. Now we find the following in his
Emporia Gazette:
There would be more satisfaction
in living in Kansas if the chronic
statesmen at Topeka could be sup
pressed. These chronics never seem
to have anything useful to do. You
never hear their names mentioned in
connection with anything sensible.
They are always engineering a har-
mony meeting, or a ratification, or
some kind of political dog fight They
won't give people a chance to forget
politics and attend to their own bust
ness. 1t would be a godsend to the
state if a carload of them could be
shipped to Mexico some day when the
bullets are unusually active"
Yet, it will be recalled that the
editor and proprietor of the Gazette
has been something of a political agi-
tator himself. But doctors are no
torious for not taking their own medi-
cine. Instead of going to Mexico he
goes to California.

Just as the photograph has become
an educator of the masses in music,
so it seems probable, will the moving
pictures, in time become valuable
adjunct of the schools
The use of moving pictures in the
schools is spreading rapidly in Europe.
Recently a professor in a Brussels
school excited great interest by pre-

FROM OTHER PENS

THE RIGHT WAY TO RECOVERY.
The decision of the conference of
Progressive Republicans at Chicago to
urge the calling of a Republican ma
tional convention ought to have a
great deal of weight with the Republi-
can National committee. Most of the
leaders at the conference were from
states which elected Republican state
tickets at the last election. The party
strength locally, although the national
ticket was defeated.
One reason for this uneven showing
was that many Republicans, though
still loyal to the party name and or
ganization, did not approve the meth
DDS by which the national convention
of 1912 was controlled. They still re-
gard those methods as obsolete, and
that view is undoubtedly now shared
by large majority of the Republi-
cans who did support the national
ticket.
The present system of representa-
ton in national conventions is unjust,
artificial and highly dangerous to
party unity. 1t should have been al
tered in 1908, and had the opportun-
ity then offered been mbraced the
party would probably have escaped
the disastrous division of it's forces in
1912. Reforms in Republican meth
DDS of government must come if the
the sooner they come the better. Those
who talk about postponing reorgan-
1zation till next year or the year after
are either consciously or unconSciousIy

RAILROADS AND THE CO.

Again the railroads have gone before
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
asking for permission to advance their
rates. The attitude of the commission
appears to be favorable to a rehear
ing.
The railroads certainly should have
no difficulty in presenting reasons
why an application from them should
be considered. For many months the
managers have been sending out re-
ports, having themselves interviewed,
making addresses at public dinners
and in a thousand other ways laying
their case before the people. The bur-
den of all this discussion has been the
growing expenses of railroad compan-
les and inability to find money with
which to make improvements that are
needed or demanded. If it were not
necessary to make improvements or
engage in new construction work,
there probably would be no serious
complaint from the managers, as
earnings appear to be large enough to
meet all operating expenses and pay
dividends. But new capital is needed
for the new work and capital cannot
be coaxed into this business just now,
except with great difficulty and at
large cost.
Apparently there is not going to be
so much opposition from shippers to
rate increase this time as there was
three years ago. There will be some
strong opposition, of course, but thus
far there has been no indication that
it will be either widespread OF bitter
The explanation probably lies in the
fact that the proposed increase is only
five per cent; that it is to be, accord
ing to the present plan, a horizontal
increase, which would prevent dis
elimination to localities by pre-
serving the present relations between
rates, and that shippers have uncon-
sciously been impressed by much of
the argument which the railroads have
made as to the necessity for increas-
inc rates

THE WAR IN WEST VIRGINIA

While the federal government is busy
with California there appears to be a
job waiting for it down in West Vir-
ginia
For a year past the state of West
Virginia has virtually been out of the
union Certainly it is not now within
the operation of the federal constitu-
ton. The constitution of the United
States has been defiantly tossed into
the scrap.
LAS a result of a miners strike for

them editors, and a woman, Mother
Jones, a labor organizer. were seized
by the military, martial law zone
was declared, and they were dragged
into it and thrown into a "bull-pen"
where they now languish, denied the
constitutional right of jury trial and
the freeman's right of communication
with the world.

Virginia. 1t is constitutionally possible
nowhere else among the American

tute martial for civil law. In no other

Anglo-Saxon liberty so exposed to I'M

no other is the freedom of speech and

EVENING CHAT
The Need to Be Needed.
BIZ EUTA. cAlGIcRoN.

The need to be needed is one of the
most deeply rooted of human neces-
stiles.
Even the little child feels it; it grows
powerful with maturity; and, contrary
to the idea of a great many people,
1T does not disappear in old age
A young married friend of mine who
is very conscientious and loving
daughter, as well as a model wife, has
recently taken her widowed mother in
to her home. II can't understand WHY
mother isn't happier she said to me
the other day. "She has the incest room
in the house, my husband is very kind
to her, she has more money to spend
on herself than she ever had in her
lire, and l don't let her lift her hand
to do anything, no matter how hard I
nave to work myself. 1 can't under
stand it,"
OF course she couldn't understand II.
Tor the very condition which is I'M
oouptedIy the cause of all the trouble,
she held up as one of the reasons her
mother should be happy-"And 1 don't
let her lift her hand to do anything.
no matter how hard 1 have to work
myself"
I have been to that home. and have
seen the little mother start to wipe
the dishes or try to be of service in
some way and heard her daughter say.

NOW. mother, you mustn't do that.

little mother go meekly away with 4.

It's nice to go into the other room
and sit down sometimes. but nobody
likes to do it all the time-not even
old folks.
They want to be useful; they want
to be of service; they want to be need

The need to be needed is one of tho

causes much of the misery among orr

SAYS UNCLE CAV

1 can believe in a literal hell if I look
long enough at human iceberg. Nothing
short of the seething fires of Gehenna
will warm one up, and that means total
humiliation. which in the case of some
icebergs have met would be a mercy to
the communities that they chill.
1 have observed that goodness IS largely
matter of temperature. CONCEALED
righteousness at so below always looked a
good deal like cold storage deviltry to me;
I have more hopes of a warm-hearted
villain than Self-canonized saint who be-
lieves that it is crime to permit the
moral thermometer to go above the freez-
ing point.
It's world can't do business upon the
basis OF subnormals. The man who cant
warm up is in the way when he isn't
actually a menace to the community.
We make progress through our en-
thusiasms, and that principle holds in the
moral as well as the material world.
on earth who fancy that you can't belong
to the ranks of the really good if the
mercury can maintain its self-respect
within the sphere of your influence. Their
lives are one long attack of moral ague.
They have perpetual chills. They seek to
attain goodness by freezing up and stay
ing frozen. They must have read some
where that certain Siberian mammoths
have been perfectly moral for matter or
untold thousands of years. That is quite
true, the mam-noths having been incased
in ice during the entire period, in which
respect they have nothing on the human
freaks under discussion.
Don't do that is mighty poor rule
of righteousness. Cold storage may make
saints, but it never made a soldier of
the common good The man who merely
omits to do that which is recognized as
flagrantly evil is SO much dead timber
The best that can be said for him is that
he is neither plague nor pestilence.
You have done the world no service if
you merely refrain from violation of the
rights of others. You have done evil if
your personality is such that it freezes
the milk of human kindness in the veins
others. You may not feel the need of
sympathy and cooperation, but your
neighbors do, and your iceberg disposition
is constant encouragement to those
who go about doing good. Few of us care
to give our sympathies where they are
not desired. and your reception of our
kindly offices is likely, in the end, to con-
vince that one wants them. Thus,
you actually turn robber, depriving those
who appreciate good fellowship of its
benefits.
He that repulses kind word a gen
erous deed is thief who steals from
others that which he does not desire for
himself. There is greater villafny.
