WHAT'S A TEMPER FOR?

The other day I stood on the cor
ner of a busy street m a big city and
watched, for quite time, police
man handle the traffic.
Every once in a while he lost his
temper and took 1t out on some driver
or pedestrian who, he said, didn't
use their head Well, I was wit
ness to the fact that they didn't. But
didn't like to see this officer lose his
temperi He could have Used it for
something more important!
l have no idea why tempers were
invented. Unless it was that we might
learn the shortest method whereby
they might be controlled.
1t is significant that the more tenn
per you give away, the more you &C
cumulate.
So that it would appear that the
is to keep 1t as far away from other
people as possible. And not to humor
lit. For it is a great deal like a
chained dog. Harmless while chained
but if irritated too much, there is the
danger that the chain may break with
much damage resulting.
What's temper for, then? To let
Ialonei
A temper must be a good thing, or
else we all would not have one. But
usage never improves it. AS we al
know.
There is difference between
righteous wrath" and fiery temper
The former. under the proper circum-
stance, exhibits the sterling stuff thai
most good humans possess, but the
latter pictures the worst of a man oil
woman and shows them up at their
weakest.
What's temper for? To KEEP!
You rarely see an important or q
useful man lose his temper. For, yol
see, she needs it. He uses it to make
him strong. To make him understand
the failings in other people. and &c
teach him that he is very fallible.

THANK YOU!

Kansas and Topeka are thankful to
Phil Eastman. secretary. and Albert
NJ. Patten, president. of the Free Fair
association, for their efforts and their
success of the 1921 exposition just
closed.
The rains of the first three days
cut down the attendance, but the Of
ficers made up for the misfortune by
staging an exposition well worthy of
the time spent by the crowds that
thronged to the grounds in the short
period granted them.
This years show was another dec
laration of assurance that the Free
Fair is appreciated by the people.
After all. a fair is primarily an ex-
hibition of agricultural and livestock
products. 1t is a record of the adj
vancement of a community or state in
the seasons of harvest. 1t is an expo
sition originally for the benefit of the
farmer and stockman-an exhibit of
education, enlightenment and enter
tGinment. The Topeka Free Fair
opens its gates to these exhibits. Per-
sons may come and go as they please
and, without cost, witness these prod
ucts and the farm accessories"
Secretary Eastman's plan several
years ago to remove the gates from
the hinges has proven immensely
popular. The free fair idea has
spread to other cities and states. It
has been found that there is no eco
nomical reason why the people of a
state should be charged admission TO
see what their taxes entitle them 20
witness.
The amusement part of the fair, of
course, must be taxed. A person will
spend four or five dollars with little
hesitancy in seeing an evening per-
Torrance at a theater that does not
provide >one-half the amusement Of
fered by a fair might show" The
show" part of the Free Fair is the
only feature for which an admission
was charged. 1t is simply take it
! or leave it" affair and the price was
not as high as most fairs-in fact
very much lower when compared with
| fairs at which an admission Is
| charged to the grounds.
The Free Fair is a Topeka AMI
! Kansas institution. All money cleared
over expenses is put right back into
the grounds and buildings. A success
full fair one year means a more sue
cessful fair the next.
The Topeka Free Fair has come TO
stay-and Kansans trust that Mr..
Eastman and Mr.. Patten will stay
also.

TARIFFS OF THE FUTURE.

Time has been when a few special
interests that happened to have a
preponderance of influence in the
and obtain the enactment of a tariff
law drawn to their liking. but that
day seems to have passed. Opponents
of high tariffs finding themselves ur-
able to battle against these interests
have concluded to join them and OBJ
tain a share of the swag for theiI own
constituents. Here is the trouble that
is being encountered by the Fordney
bill passed by the house.
To illustrate: Representative Frank
Clark, of Florida, is a free trader on
everything but pineapples and leaf
tobacco. but he has been staunch in
his advocacy of protective rates on
those two Florida products
The senator's and representatives
from Louisiana are wholly apathetic
concerning protection on other Ameri-
can products, but when sugar comes
up for discussion, they monopoliza
the legislative floors as they prese Mt
their arrays of statistics to prove thai
Louisiana sugar must be protected or
the country will go to smash.
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, pleaded
with the Finance committee for free
trade in tomatoes from Mexico, re-
Gently. He used language which
would read strangely If set in paral-
lei columns with a speech he madz
a few weeks back favoring protection
and, above all. protection to the cot
ton-growers of his home state. They
don't raise many tomatoes in Arizona
lbut they do raise considerable long
staple cotton, and Ashurst wanted the
duty rate on that commodity raised
to the sky.
Neyle CoAuitt, OF Georgia, begged
the finance committee the other day
for duty of cents a pound on pea
nuts. The rate in the pending tariff
bill as it passed the house is cents
on the -unshelled. Colquitt wanted
that duty raised SO per cent and ht
| pleaded for the down trod" peanut
producers of the South and described
the scenes of poverty and wretched
ness which would ensue if peanuts re
ceived only cents duty.
There are indications that futur,
tariff bills must be passed, If at all
on the log rolling principle hitherti
applied to river and harbor and pub
lie building bills.

With the opening of schools
comes the spread OF disease among
children. There is only one way TO
combat this situation-fight it at
home. Parents who send children to
school when they know they are not
in good health are a menace to the
community. Foolish notions about
children being able to throw off
physical ills without proper medical
care endanger the life and health of
their associates and should not be toll
Grated. Sickness is an economic loss
as well as a physical suffering ana
there is no excuse for a lack of medi-
cal treatment. The city board of
health is crippled unless parents CO.
operate in the attempts to wipe OUT
diseases and epidemics.
