THE RICH MANS WAY.

The December Woman's Home
Companion has an article in which
this passage occurs:
THE nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
and feeling the moral necessity to have
recourse to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing. The acquisition of
this most costly thing always involves,
in practice, the separation of the rich
man from society. Thus, he will ac-
quire a large estate, or several large
estates, and cut himself off from the
world by gates, doors, miles of drive,
lodge keepers, menials, and secreta-
ries Or he will acquire a two-thou-
sand-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, tho less quickly, less COM
fortably, and even less privately than
on a great liner. Or he will keep a
private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts All which, though
magnificent, is anti-social and silly,
and is secretly felt to be so by the
rich man when he happens to wake up
in the middle of the night and can't
go to sleep again"
The Topeka state journal., 1916-12-06
MORE ZEAL THAN SENSE.

The attempt of the members of the
Women's Congressional Union to
heckle the president, while he was de-
livering his annual message to con-
gress shows more zeal than sense.
The adoption of their cherished Susan
B. Anthony amendment by congress
would place them no nearer their goal
than they are now. A vote for suf-
frage by three-fourths of the states in
the Union still would be necessary be-
fore that amendment could become eff
fective.
The states which already have suf-
frage could be counted upon, but how
about the others? The southern states
would almost certainly reject it. In
many of the other states favorable at
ton has been sought, in some more
than once, but without success. Is it
likely that the voters of these states
would be any more amenable to ar
gument when voting on a national
amendment than when voting on a
state amendment?
When the suffragist can count SO
states in their list, it will be time to
ask that the other IL be forced into
line. Their chances of winning would
then be almost assured.

STATE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES EVENING DECEMBER g.

and paving the way for further Gov
ernment interference with business.
Again there were signs that our pros
perity wave while not ended is ap-
preaching. if it has not reached, its
zenith, and that owing to the greatly
increased cost of doing business there
will be no such profits in 1917 as in
1916. Labor is securing liberal pro-
portion of these profits, and when the
increased costs of labor, raw materials
and distribution are taken into con-
sideration, the margin of profits, it
will be discovered, has been materially
affected. Moreover, high prices are
already causing 1essened consumption
and increased production. Thus does
natural law in the form of supply and
demand automatically correct abnor-
NAL conditions more surely than any
of the fads and nostrums advanced by
those who believe in Government reg
ulation.
Another cause of reaction was the
increased tightness of money. The
expansion of credit has been enor-
nous, and in spite of the marvellous
9AO"N4A VI Oe'HhihS leSouASeS' eAo Ue-
mand for accumulation was growing
at pace that rendered a slowing
down inevitable. The immense vol
ume of business at abnormal profits,
the great expansion of credit, the alb
sorption of foreign-held securities, the
huge amount of money invested in
various foreign loans and the demands
of new enterprises at nome, all meant
heavy demands upon the local money
market. Lenders and investors are
consequently asking and securing bet
ter rates; in other words, capital, like
other things, is rising in value be-
cause demand is overtaking supply
and owners are enabled to hold for
more advanta geous terms.

something that you wish to do. 1t
wasn't two minutes till Foxy had de-
cided that he really should look Tor
nuts up that tree; and up he ran, clear
to the top
And there he saw Tommy Jay.
Hello there, Tommy" said Foxy,
this is a fine autumn day." ("That'n
surprise him, 1 guess" thought Foxy,
"cause he don't know that autumn
has beguni'D
Fine, indeed" replied Tommy, land
it's time you were getting to work,
seems to mel
Now that didn't please Foxy one bit.
He wanted to be the one to tell Tom
my what to do, it's lots more fun to
tell than to be told. So he spoke up
real tartly, "If you know that au-
tumn's here why don't you fly south !?
And how do you know it's autumn
anyway? You don't have to listen for
the fall of nuts,''
mo, I know 1 don't" replied Tom
my, good-naturedly, just as tho he
didn't hear the crossness of Foxy 8
voice, but 1 know when autumn
comes just the same. Don't you see
that the leaves are dry and golden
Don't you see that there are fewer in
sects each day for me to eat? I'll be
going south very soon-very soonI"

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Readers of the annual MESA ge
which President Wilson read to con-
gress Tuesday, will look in vain for
any reference to the relation of the
United States to foreign governments.
A search for any word in regard to the
Mexican problem will be equally
futile.
The presidents utterance is confined
almost wholly to a plea for the solu-
ton of the present and other possible
controversies between railroads and
their employees.
The message contains a carefully
worded invitation to congress to be-
stow upon the executive, in case of a
general strike, the power to take over
the operation of the railroads on the
plea of public necessity.
AS a further measure of safety
against the possible paralysis of the
country's business by railroad strike
it is urged that legislation be enacted
looking to investigation and arbitra-
ton.
Possibly the president will be heard
from later on matters of public con-
Germ which are omitted from the mes
sage under consideration. On the
other hand he may plan to await the
incoming of the new congress before
taking up the Mexican situation.

Question of Delays in Cars VIII
Be PrObed.
Operators May Have to Share
in the Blame.

The public utilities commission to-
day directed all railroads in Kansas
to file weekly reports showing the
number of cars requested and sup
piled Kansas shippers for handling of
various commodities. The order of
the state commission is fol the filing
of reports until February l and is is
sued in an effort to solve the coal
shortage troubles.
No positive orders were issued in
the car and coal shortage case. But
all railroads and coal operators were
asked to cooperate with the commits
sion in meeting the present situation
A report issued by the commission
showed that many cars furnished by
the railroads were held by operators
who delayed their prompt moving.
These delays are claimed by the COM
mission to have been due to strikes
and sundry troubles of the mining
companies.
With the high prices and shortage
of coal, the commission reports that
many operators have withdrawn their
travelling men from the field and foI
some weeks have not solicited sales OF
contracts
