PANIC OUT OF THE RACE.

The old question Whats the mat
ter with Kansas has long been
answered, says the st. Paul Dispatch.
but this year Kansas promises to be
in the limelight more than ever.
The first report on the possible wheat
crop in Kansas this year indicates a
crop of 124,O00.O00 bushels, the greatest
wheat crop ever grown in any state in
the union, and an increase of over 40
per cent over last year. The state eln-
ployment bureau has started to ar
range for bringing 10000 harvest hands
into Kansas this summer.
A shortage of harvest hands is
feared, and also a shortage of cars to
handle the enormous crop. The banks
are facing a big problem also of how
to get money to move the crop.
With such prospects ahead. and such
problems, it is likely that people will
be too busy this year to waste any
time on a possible panic because of
any tariff changes.

Snake Fights a Dozen Men.

With dozen strong men Curator
Raymond Ditmars went into the snake
house at the Bronx zoo and opened
the door of a cage containing Selma.
a 22-foot python. While she dozed a
moose was slipped over her neck
Selma has not eaten so much as a
pound of pig for nineteen months. All
that time she has lived on her fat and
she is still fat and the champion
fighter in her class. Freshly killed pigs
and other tempting snakebits have been

closed her jaws, and shut her eyes in
snakely contempt.
But the tying of the moose about her
neck aroused her to fury. She swung
her tail against the bars of her cell,
wriggled, writhed, and fought as only
Selma can fight. More nooses were got
about her slippery body and the curator
gave the order, Slowly, men. Now
pull!''
Gradually Selma was dra ged through
the doorway. She flopped to the floor
of the house and began a series of con-
tortions. Keeper Michael O'Keefe got
too close to Selina's tail and was
knocked through a window. Next John
Hastings was sent sprawling

THE REAL REASON.

Lincoln Beachey, recognized by all
professional aviators as the most dar-
ing and reckless one among them, gave
this as a reason why he quit flying;
There was just one thing that drew
crowds to NY exhibitions-a morbid de-
sire to see something happen. They
all predicted 1 would be killed, and
none wanted to miss getting in on it.
They paid to see me die. They bet, and
the odds were always against my life"
That is a view also taken by others
in accounting for the eagerness of the
great crowds that attend aeroplane
exhibitions. But is it the correct view?
Is the American public imbued with the
same spirit that made the bloody scenes
of the Roman amphitheater possible?
Are we all still savages, with only
thin veneer of civilization?
If so, the lie is given all claims that
mankind. steady, through the ages,
has been attaining great moral and
spiritual heights. But there is a more
reasonable and apparent explanation,
which does no discredit to humanity.
1t is one which can be accepted by all
who look within themselves and know
their fellow men.
The public understands the fact
that there - danger in the exploits
of the airmen. But it does not turn
out to witness them in the expectation
of seeing the aviators killed. 1t knows
the performers are experts and ex-
poets to be thrilled by the daring,
skillful manner in which they surmount
the perils. F'eats such as these always
attract a crowd and always will, pro-
badly. The animus is not discreditable
to humanity. 1t is admiration for hu-
man adroitness, hardihood and cour-
age and that which it achieves.
Apparently Beachey was seeking a
plausible excuse to quit.

"BREECHES" AGAIN?

This is the time of year when col
lege students blossom forth in their
summer toggery. But those at Yale,
instead of arraying themselves in the
customary ducks and flannels, have
taken to knickerbockers.
Can this be the dawn of new sar-
torial liberty for men? The stove
pipe trouser is an abomination even
while collar. 1t draws on the leg
and gets baggy and shiny at the knee
and frayed at the bottom. Who can,
by the widest stretch of the magma
ton, consider it beautifuI-especially
the kind that is turned up on the low
er end and bulges at the hip?
In the old, bicycling days, men
learned what comfort there is in
knickerbockers. They got to wearing
them in office and shop. But they
were timid about it and as soon as the
bicycling craze died out, tamely gave
them up.
Knickerbockers-the "breeches' of
our forefathers-are artistic as we'll as
comfortable. They have the dignity
of chivalric lineage and present court
ly usage. AS to natural deficiencies
which might be revealed below them
few Americans have cause to worry on
that account, besides which that is
matter easily remedied with a little
stuffing.
If all the other colleges but follow
Yale and their sons remain true to
the cause, the nation will soon be
freed from the thralldom of long
pants

Still stewing Over Gage Park Line.

The street railway controversy
which was thought to have been iron
ed out by Albert Patterns consent to
build the Cages park and South To-
peka lines, is still wrinkled.
Citizens on West Eight avenue are
indignant that the Cages park extern
sion is to be made on Tenth. A dozen
or so men are planning to boycott the
railway unless it is built on Eighth;
they foresee the ruination of the street
railway company. There has been
talk of serving an injunction on the
city. forbidding it to grant a fran
chise.
A printed communication entitled
Property Owners Petition to the
Board of County Commissioners and
City Commissioners" is being widely
circulated. 1t devotes half a dozen
paragraphs to reasons why the extern
sion should be built on West Eighth
that this was the understanding when
the original franchise was granted;
that Children's park needs railway
facilities, and that West Tenth ayente
is already taxed with traffic.
AS yet no date has been set for a
second conference between Albert
Patten, general superintendent, and
Mayor Cofran. They intend to have
a definite settlement before the end
of the week

would end in only one result-that of
disastrous defeat to Japan. But Japan
is a proud nation, and may easily
feel offended at our treatment, which
has been unnecessarily brusque and
inconsiderate. 1t would be far bet
ter for the United States, and espe-
cially the Pacific coast, to cultivate
friendly relations with the Asiatic
people, especially if we desire to
cure our share of a rapidly growing
commerce with that portion of the
world. At present we are driving
commerce that should go through
Pacific ports to our foreign rivals;
simply because of race prejudice and
short-sighted legislation.
