PROSPEROUS, OLD KANSAS.

Considerable is seen in the news
papers about the hard times that are
prevailing in this and that section
of the United States. Some assertions
are to the effect that they are pretty
general throughout the entire coun-
try But out here in kansas-well
the deposits in the state banks on
June % were the largest in the his
tory of the commonwealth. And the
important fact must be borne in mind
in connection with this gratifying con-
dition of affairs that the farmers of
Kansas haven't as yet begun to de-
post even a small portion of the
money that is coming to them from
their crops for this year.

HEREDITY AND EUGENICS

The new science of eugenics has as
its subject-mStter the question of
race Improvement through heredity.
1t obviously suggests a number of
topics which bear an important rela-
ton to practical problems OF every
day life. The interest in the subject
of eugenics has served to recall the
older discussions of the relative parts
played by heredity and environment
in the modification of the race. The
question of nature versus nurture has
been raised anew. Only misguided en-
thusiast. says The Journal of the
American Medical Association. would
venture to make great claims at the
present time for the possible future

On the Spur
of the Moment

Looks. Like 1t.
There will always be war in Mexico
So long as there's Doodle and loot;
So long as the peppery greasers can
Get hold of some guns to shoot.
There will always be war in Mexico
So long as the graft holds out;
So long as a single man remains
To raise rebellious shout.
For the Mexicans don't like work:
They will flock to the front and desert
the farms,
For it gives them a chance to shirk.
Neutrals.
We're rubbing arnicky on paw.
Some Frenchman poked him on the
jaw.
This F'rench-American he met
Upon the street car. Vain regret.
Paw said he didn't see that France
Could hope to have an earthly chance.
Paw bumped agin a Turk one day
While going into some buffet
The Turk rug seller took offense
Ger paws remarks at his expense.
That Turk-American with grace
Just spread paws nose all Ger his
Paw said that Russia'd been druv
back.
A Russian-Yahkee heard the crack
And rushed at paw. When torn apart,
The two got in the station cart.
Policemen seemed to have grudge.
Paw paid fine before the judge.
You see, paw is the sort of man
Who's proud he's an American.
He's very apt to loudly brag
About his land and wave his flag.
The nerve of himi 1t is absurd.
A real Yank dassent say a word.
Only Squib.
The submarine mine that Bryan
placed under Wilson's ship of state
seems to have become water-soaked.
No explosion yet.
Napoleon a Piker.
Yes, indeed. When. compared to

Brine on the Brain.
Perhaps our antecedents in an en-
Bryantic form
Had implanted in his system, in per-
haps his vermiform,
The seeds of secession in form as
from the vine,
At his Eve of life fermenting through
Adam-long time.
AS the sins of dear old Adam still
are visited on US,
we always held suspicion of
the silver-tongued cuss,
Who, while famed as q tooter, is too
TeutOnic now;
Which indicates his grape juice has
assembled to his brow.
Now we bear no i'll to grape juice,
nor to fluid of the kline,
Yet we falter not at duty, and we
hasten to Opine
That the grapo-lacteal fluid as evinced
by his decline,
While a rhythmic combination, is poor
filling for the spine.

Practically all of the war news from
Europe these days runs along about
the sa7,e as it has ever since the war
began. All of the current reports from
the several fighting zones that are
sent out from the seats of the bellig-

tally as to the same engagements. The

Colonel Roosevelt's ridicule is biting,
indeed. On declining to address the
advertising mems club of San Diego
because he was too busy, he was told
that Mr.. Bryan had honored the club
with an address last week. well, if
that's the CASE retorted the Colonel,
'1et them get a two-headed calf this
week" And it's to be wondered if Mr..
Bryan can dig a quotation from the
Bible with which to answer this sally
effectively

HARD LUCK, BILL!

Fate was also cr;.el IN staging the
big Chicago TRACE dy when it did. big
BilP' Thompson, the city's new mayor,
and a self-appointed presidential pos
sibility, was away from home when
it happened, and as far away as the
Pacific coast But he got back as
soon as he could and managed to get
his pictures in the newspapers in con-
nection with the calamity. They
showed him Cooking sad or, in
other words, without the smile for
which he is more or less famous.

And the Japs also seem to be clever
enough to reach the men higher up
in graft cases. At any rate, Japan's
minister of justice has resigned under
fire of charges that he was implicated
in the bribery that attended the last
parliamentary elections. Incidentally,
the activity of laps in the matter of
public graft would also indicate that
they have attained the ultimate of
political modernism.

 MT James says money is getting easier in San Francisco. The banks are extending credit more Mberally, and that is putting men to work and money in circulation.

Last evening saw the continuation Of another across.the-ocean romance when Frank A. Purser. of Juneau, and Miss Esther Jenkins. of England were married by H. B. LeFevre in his of- fee in the Seward building.
 Mrs. Purser left Liverpool. England, on April eth. on the Canadian Pacific steamer Missanabie, and after exper. fencing the danger of running the German submarine blockade. during which they were chased and at one time in Imminent danger of being blown up. she arrived in Montreal and crossed the continent to Southeastern Alaska.
