4 LESSON TO OTHER STATES.

The need of legislation is never bet
 ter indicated than by the failure of existing law Co take care of important situations as they develop. This week there will be presented before the
 United States senate the important
 question of recognizing Henry D. CIay- ton as senator from Alabama by ap-
 pointment of Governor O'Neal to fill out the unexpired term of the late
 Senator J. r. Johnston of that state. The senate will be called upon to de- eide Q question which properly be-
 longs to Alabama, but which that state
 even at the present time, Is insufh- : ciently equipped by law provisions to handle.
 Alabama, like other states, must elect her United States senators by vote of the people in accordance with the seventeenth amendment to the con- stltution, but she is without provision as to the filing of vacancies. This is unquestionably a situation in which other states would find themselves un- der like circumstances. since the neces-
 sary legislation for such contingencies
 has been left to the states and Ala
 bama is one of many which has failed
 to act thereon. Alabama through the action of the governor in assuming the authority for filling the vacancy has made it plain to the other states which have neglected it, that the leg islature has duty which must be cared for at the earliest opportunity Delay is always dangerous but further delay is inexcusable.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

Much legislation in behalf of birds has been before congress in the past year and the importance of protect ing them has been realized through the forceful and common sense argu- ment urged by the bird lovers. The tariff bill which Is in the making at the present time is drawing the at tention of the friends of the birds and arousing much opposition to the change which the senate contemplates concerning the importation of the plurnage of wild birds The desire is for the prevention of the indfscrim- mate slaughter of birds and particu- lar1y. in the case of those affected by the tariff. birds of beautiful plumage- the heads, wings and feather of which are so extensively used in the mill linery trade
 The treatment of the matter in the house was in behalf of the birds, but the endeayor in the senate to amend the provision so as to practically null lify the protective features has brought out a storm of protest and bids fair to create a close fight in the upper branch of congress. It is a matter in behalf of bird life should require but little time to decide, and such de- cision should at least sustain the pro- vision as approved by the house. The friends of the birds both inside and outside of congress are wagfng stiff fight which deserves to succeed. The great slaughter of birds needs the strongest kind of disconrag cement.

.ovERcoMING pRoueHT.

This is not the first time that se- were drought has been experienced in Kansas and neighboring states. Ter rife heat and protracted dry spells have caused much concern in that sec tion on many occasions. The lack of rain means a great loss to such DOT tions of the country where so much de- pendence is placed upon the crops, yet little or no effort seems to have been made to provide against occurrences, or to overcome the effects thereof. Just now tSe Kansans are resorting to prayer in their efforts to secure relief.
 Those western states are suffering from a condition which can almost be anticipated and yet little or nothing has been done by them for overcom- ing the periodical dry spells which cause no end of trouble. They have a problem before them which needs study and action for it's solution There are those sections which have little or no rain but which are getting irn- mense aid through irrigation. It is the making use of the streams when are available, which is aiding those regions and Kansas must look to it's own conditions with the possibilities for developing water systems which will store up the surplus water or the wet seasons and make it available in time of drought Such is the manner in which other sections have cooper ated with Providence. Kansans must remember that the Lord helps those who first help themselves.

The most noticeable color in all the fashionable dress displays of the sea son Is black-black relieved now and again with touche of white. mauve, blue or sometimes pink. Particularly is the sombre note noticeable in mfllin- cry where tu1le or net is used for the popular hat.
 Some of the most beautiful gowns designed for the racing season are in black charmeuse opening up on the skirts to reveal Things of rich purple satin, the bodices being simply frilled with white tuIIed at the open necks, and finished with some flower in pur- pie velvet at the waist.

HAT TRUNKS.

Hats under all circumstances are difficult things to store away, for they are so easily crushed and spoiled and therefore nice roorny box in which a number may be safely placed and kept free from dust and dirt is a useful possession.
 For this purpose, a large. we'll made packing ase,r~with a substantial lid well hinged on, should be procured and a suitable box may be purchased from almost any grocer at trffing cost and will need no great amount of labor to prepare 1t for receiving the hats.
 In the first place, it should be we'll scrubbed Inside and out. to rid it of any odor that may remain from what it has contained, and then the exterior can be smoothly covered with some pretty inexpensive cretonne, fastened on just inside and underneath with tacks. A more desirable effect is oh tained where the box is covered with the same material al the draperies
 The interior of the box can next be smoothly lined with strong brown paper and broad tapes fastened with tacks across the sides.
 Hats with brims can be slipped un- der these tapes and held in their places, while in the center of the box there will be plenty of space for hats of different kinds.
 Castors can be screwed on at the corners underneath to facilitate nov ing it about, and if the top of the box is well padded and covered with coarse canvas prior to covering it with the cretonne it will make an excellent seat placed in the corner of a bed room.
