DERIVATION or 4kANsas J.

Mr. Y. j. Phillips of Sapulpa. Okla
contributes to the Kansas CITY Star
some interesting information as to
me origin OF the word Kansas,
which that Taper had said was de-
rived from a tribe of Indians nv the
same name ard that the word means
"lno- Mr. Phillips declares this to
&c mistake. He says the original
name was Konseh and was applied to
ene Raw tribe of Indians by the at
MATED bands OF Southern Sioux now
commonly known as Osages. Poncas
lowas, Otoes Sauks, Missouris and
haWs, because the latter made a MN

MEMBER the wonderful crab apple
oIcli . that grew wild all over the
territory west of the Ozarls in the
DAYS gone by. Time was when the
gun breezes, tripping across Missouri
on their string time voyages to the
great lakes. came burdened with the
odor Of wild crab apples, an odor
more sweet and pungent than any
thing else this side of Paradise. And
LEI no citizen of the great state of
Kansas feel humbled because Its
bame was derived from this mag
nsfcent product Of Missouri
Also it is interesting to remember
that the above mentioned dilapidated
hands, flung with derision across tn.

ferocious enemy. have bequeathed
their names upon three great states
Of the west and upon Missouri's i'm

Working Girls and Morality

st. Louis Globe-Demoerat In con
trast with the wave of hysteria that
swept the country few months ago
during the inquiry into the wages
paid girls in the stores of the various
cities, is the sane statement OF Miss
Lois Cornforth, investigator for the
Board OF Public Welfare at Kansas
City, that morality should not figure
in the demand for wages. She says
that when the demand has such basis
il casts unfounded reflections on
working girls She gives it as her
conclusion that wages count little in
the morals of girls who work, her In
sestigations showing that not one
tenth of the girls who get into trouble
are working girls at the time their
delinquency began.
Recent investigations of cases of
delinquency among women In Chi
cago support Miss Cornforth's con-
illusions. The gathering of statistics
on the subject is attended with diff
fculties, for the delinquent naturally
seeks to deal as leniently with her
self as possible. But even when the
statements of delinQuents are &C.
cepted without investigation of ante
cedents, the percentage of immora .ty
traceable to lack of a living wage is
extrem ely small. Love of fnery and
rich living is far more prolific cause
of immortality. Hasty ard early mar
riages, with speedy separations, have
made the descent easy and swift to
many young women. The number of
girls who have gone to the cities
from villages and rural communities
to hide their disgrace and save their
parents from embarrassment must be

unique pictorial group OF characters
successive scenes into a consecutive
whole. Mr.. Miller has a wonderful
genius for inserting the wholly unex-
pected happenings into the action of
his drama at just the right spot and
at just the opportuns moment; and it
is as much his genius in this direc-
ton as his great talent in portraying
heroic roles that has made him one
OF the foremost figures OF the stage
today.
In his wonderful third act climax
in THE Light Eternal" the sp sctacu-
lar drama of early Rome to be pre-
sented at the Grand on next Wednes-
day evening, this astute producer
strikes the top note in stage lighting
and strikes it with an effectiveness
that is almost awe inspiring. The
scene is in the throne room OF the
Emperor Diocletian, and the play has
progressed to that point VIII are Marco
Valerius. the young captain of the
guard, defes the power OF paganism
and publicly proclaims his allegiance
to the faith Of the Nazarene. Anger
ed beyond control by the disafection
within his own hous shold, the dod-
dering old emperor hurls blatant
curse at the God Of the christians
and orders his guards to force the
young recalcitrant to his knees in wor-
ship at the altar of Jupiter, the pagan
god OF gods. Hardly is the yitrolic de-
nunciation of christianity framed up-
On his lips when out of the clear sky
comes bolt OF lightning which shat
tiers the pagan altar, while over its
wreckage appears wonderfully con-
ceiYed cross of fire-a miraculous
token of divine favor to the christian
and rebuke to pagan cruelres.
For his lightning Mr.. Miller has
apparently harm sssed one of natures
nest vivid thunderbolts, while a cross
OF fire has every appearance of the
supernatural No stretch of imagina l.
ton IS necessary to place the appara-
ton among the stars. For the mo-
1nent the feeling is as If thu thunder
bolt had torn away the stage walls
and roof, disclosing to view heaven
~ cross such as gave Constantine,
Diocletian's successor TO the throne
OF Rome, his historic labarum-"un or
this sign thou shalt conquer."-Ad

Of Washington, Iowa, to fill the First
district vacancy on the Republican
state central committee as well as
that of B. W Garrett to the vacancy
in the Eighth district. The mare
fact that these lien are so-calle3 p %,

! large. The cities have this supply
added to their own normal production
of erring girls, probably larger be-
cause of the opportunities in the city
to elud'e the vigilance of parents and
neighbors.
The question of wages is economic
and the assumption that low wage
to girls implies immortality is a gross
injustice to thousands OF working
girls OF spotless character. Two rea-
sons for low wages are specifically
obvious: Many girls work for pin
money and live at home, while m my
others are not efficient The sugges-
ton OF minimum wage by statutory
compulsion offers no panacea, aside
from the legal difficulties. The in
efficient employees would not be paid
more than their services are really
worth. If they we're it would be tan.

contribute charity to employees. A
partial solution would be the inere s.

pursuits are crowded while others

been domestic servants. The domes
tic servant is sure OF living, but
the life is not attractive. For this
fact there is division OF RESPONSE
bility between employer and employe,
and the financial aspect of 1t is the
least significant. All the complex
ties OF human nature enter into the
problem. 1t can not be solved by
passing a law.

 Every member of the New York club has signed a two or three year contract, and few of the contracts eX- pire this year. 1 have talked with nearly all of the players and do not
 think there is anything to the rumor. I don't believe there is a player on

 there is a. member of the club who

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET BEARISH.
Heavy Losses Incurred by Stocks Se-
 lected for Attack.

New York, April 17.-Sharp bear dr.ves at selected stocks, such as have been in progress for a week, contin- ued throughout. today's market, and in spots severe losses were inflicted. The tactics employed on the short side, which became increasingly az gressive today, indicated that the most determined bear campaign of months was under way. Today'S attacks were centered in Missouri Pacific and Le- high Valley Missouri Pacific was the most active stock in the list. It was under steady pressure, and fell more figure in over decade. Lehigh Val ley's loss was even greater. It was hammered down to 134, a drop of seven points.
 The pronounced weakness of Lehigl Valley was responsible for & good deal of gossip respecting the extent of it's shrinkage in earrings and the possf- bility of change in it's dividend rate, but these rumors were not supported by any authentic information. Mis- souri Pacifics weakness was said to be due in part to difficulties experi- enced by the company in arranging to care for it's s25s000.000 of notes falling due June 1. The notes were offered at 95, but bids ranged several points lower Missouri Pacific con- vertibles slumped five points. Presi- dent Bush gave assurance mat pro- but pressure on the stock did not re- lax.
 The bond market was steady. Total sales, par value, S2,050,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
