Are Buying for Cash.

A Kansas groceryman con-
ducts two stores, one a credit
and delivery business, and the
other a strictly cash, with no de-
livery. The>two stores are side
by side, but prices at the cash
store are just 10 per cent less
than at the companion store.
The cash store has no telephone
connection, no delivery wagons,
and very simple form of book
keeping. Customers are said to
be leaving the credit and deliv-
cry store in order to save the ten
per cent, although they have to
carry their own groceries home,
and can not order them by tele-
phone. The proprietor figures
that it takes at least 10 per cent
to make deliveries, collect bills.

debts and credits, and conduct
the business on credit basis.

French National Museum.

The Musee Carnavalet of Paris is se
seldom frequented by Americans, yet
it is Of vast interest 1t Is also know
as the National museum, for it con
tains objects pertaining to the history
Of France, and especially of the French
revolution. The sacredness Of an
tiquity clings to the building itself
which was begun in 1914, and enlarged
in 1850 by Mansart, the famous archt
tect of Louis XIV. In 1877 1t became
the home of Nine. de Levigne, who
lived there for IS years, and aftel
whom the street Is named that facet

contents Of this museum are frag
ments and statues from noted ole
buildings which no longer exist. There
is also a weird portrait done in wal
of Henry w, made the day after hi
assassination. and an autograph order
from Louis XVI for the defenders ol
the Tuileries to cease firing! Thingi
of historic interest are numerous, but

Many a man of limited educa-
ton has succeeded in life, but
with every step forward he real
lied more than anyone else his
limitations from the lack of
schooling. The young man with
a college diploma in his hand
starts out in life equipped for the
opportunities that will present
themselves to him; the unframed
man has to take his chances of
such opportunities as fall within
his limitations. To the latter the
chances are few, to the former,
many. The world calls more
and more for men with technical
raining. and the youth of to-day
who shirks the acquisition OF
such qualifications consigns him
self to life of mediocre useful
ness and doubtful success.
Train yourself for the opportun.
tiles and they will come to you.

Labor as Property.

The Clayton bill, as passed by
the Senate, contains the Cum
MINIS amendment which delares
that the labor of human beings
is not a commodity or article of
commerce.
The notion that labor is a COM
modify and properly amenable
to all laws and regulations ap-
plying TO other commodities is
a half truth that has caused
much confusion of thought and
done much positive harm. The
fact that man sells his time
even as a farmer sells his wheat
has been made the basis for as
sumptions far too sweeping. Be-
cause two things are alike in
one respect does not prove them
alike in all respects, The dis
semblanees between labor and
commodities so outnumber their
one resem blance that it is amaz-
ing that legislation such as the
Sherman act and court decisions
such as the Werner opinion in
the Ives case have proceeded
from rational human beings.
Labor is a thing apart. There
is a flesh and blood quality that
distinguishes it from commodi-
ties. It is time to tear out of our
laws every expression of the
theory that when a man makes a
contract of service he sell pro-
perty, and that this property is
no more entitled to consideration
than property in bricks. This
doctrine was born of the pit, and
it is worth while to have Con
gress 60 on record against it
The action may assist in the so
cial education Of judges and 9th
ers still under dominion of this
mischievous illusion.-New York

Open to Criticism.

There is one side to certain
bills in Congress that leaves the
majority open to criticism-that
is the fact that they are planning
to allow cotton, for instance, to
be put in warehouses and issue
certificates which shall circulate
virtually as money.
The plan is that the govern
ment shall go into partnership
with cotton and grain growers
and those who handle fish pro-
ducts, enable them to put their
goods in storage, issue certifi-
oates and hold the goods until
the market is ready for the own
ers. The scheme is to have the
government back the growers
until the market in raw material
for clothing and food shall have
come round to suit them.
AS one may put it, we open our
markets to all the world in food
products, against the home farm
er, and then we turn round and
tell the farmer there will be no
prosecution if he joins the com BIZ
nation to hold up prices and car
ry goods until the market is sat
isfactory.
The truth is that ever since
the Democratic party was form
ed it has boasted of certain doc
trines of individual effort without
dependence on law, and at the
same time has done things that
made the doctrines look hypo-
critical.
It has been 80 all the way down
until now we find Democrats
preaching the old doctrine that
government should leave the citi-
zens alone as much as possible
and prosecute every combination,
yet going into them to get a good
price for the farmers and carry.
ing them until such time as they
can get what they think their
goods are worth.
That is of no consequence to
the party that is constantly say
ing one thing and doing another,
After all, the people Judge par.
ties by results, and there is ev-
cry indication that there will be
a vote of lack of confidence in the
Democracy in November. Mean
while, anything goes if the
South wants it. Buffalo News.

Why is a county political pa

Why is a county political par
ty ticket anyway. Now that the
primary election has been held
and the Republican and Demo
cratic parties here have their
candidates for the county Offices
in the field, and the latter being
the minority party its candi-
dates must suffer defeat unless
they can persuade enough Re.
publieans to vote for them to
land them in the offices. A par.
ty county ticket is nominated to
give the adherents of that party
full opportunity for expression
of their political faith in the Sc.
lection of the public officers. The
primary election is the party
elimination contest, and having
been decided on the assumption
that the best and strongest mer
have been selected the party
has cleared the way for the con
sistent and conscientious action
of the party voter at the tria
contest between the contendine
political faiths at the genera
election. Thus we have the par
ty political county ticket for the
obvious purpose of giving US 10
cal government in accordance
with our political convictions. A
Democratic sheriff or constable
is as much out of harmony with
Republican instincts as a Demo
cratic president or congressman
and vice versa with the Demo
Gratis. No candidate on the Dem
cratic county ticket would urge
a Democratic voter to cast his
ballot for a Republican candi
date, and the Democrat in Office
even though he was elected BY
the aid of Republican votes has
no thought of ever rendering .
similar service to the Republican
who voted for him or granting
him political favors of any kind
His party instinct is against it.

AdaptabllIty Of Wild Bird Life.

One Of the things that encourages
the sportsman to hope that the new
federal migratory bird law will result
in an actual increase Of water fowl ane
other migratory game birds Is the
marvellous ability Of wild bird life te
adapt itself to changed conditions.
Ducks. for example, will quickly dis
cover a sanctuary and flock to it with
confidence, deserting other more "a
vorable feeding grounds. Where
ptarmigao are strictly protected you
may walk around among ITEM.
On the other hand, the prairie chick
en- would have been exterminated long
ago had 1t not changed its habits al
conditions changed. 1t first deserted
the stubble for the corn; then it wen
for shelter to the windbreaks, ant
finally to the timber. Now this prai

The railroads are again ap-

well, but when the government
takes any steps in that direction

Had a Swell Time.

A Parsons colored woman,
says the Sun, attended a funeral
in Independence a few days ago
and when she returned she told
number of her frienos about
her trip and the services which
were held for the late departed.
Yes, it certainly was some
funeral. It was the handsomest
| ever went to, and I amt miss
ed many since | come to Parsons
II years ago. The services was
beautiful, the flowers was sub
lime and the preacher wore a
dress suit. But the climaxes
come when it was all over-that
is, the burying part. Sam s
wife-it was Sam that died, you
knoW-took US back to the house
from the graveyard, and maybe
she didn't serve a swell funeral
dinner. Never sat down to no.
thing finer. Yes 'um, we had
chocolate ice cream, soda pop and
fried chicken. And we all said
poor Sam would have sure had
fun if he could have been at that
feed. You know fried chicken
always was Sans long suit.
