He declares he will not resign. Miss Dollar, one of the belles In a Neyada town, is to be married to Mr. Sennts. That's just another way of making-change for a dollar. Right quick, you folks who were worried bo much about the voyage of the battleships to the Pacific, do you know where the fleet is today T If Qeorge Ade saw anything funny In the way his friend's boom was treated in Chicago be has succeeded admirably in concealing the fact, "Right always wins," says Governor Hughes. Still, the base ball records Ihow that the southpaws are there with the goods as often as the rights. People are getting over their dread of climatic conditions at Panama.

A London cable says that Klpg Ed ward is growing deaf. Well,-there's consolation in knowing that there is a lot of things these days that a man would rather not boar.

Evidence of this Awaken ing is furnished In circulars that are now being Issued by eastern railroads nrging their employes to treat pa trons with courtesy, on the grounds that "courtesy is good business." Tie Pennsylvania, the Reading and the Lackawanna roads have taken the lead in this matter, the Lackawanna publishing a lengthy treatise, ad dressed to "agents, conductors and other representatives," on the import ance of iso conducting themselves toward their patrons that they may be able to count the good will of the public as one of the road's most valu able assets. Some of the suggestions contained in these instructions are well worthy of reproduction: In a highly complex and technical busi ness, such as that of th railroad, there are many things that you, with your train ing and dally experience, understand with perfect familiarity, but which the public do Ct understand; therefore, do not assume that the public ahould comprehend them without asking questions; but when they make Inquiry of you give them the cour tesy of a reply Just as full and clear aa you can make It, and without any suggestion of superiority born of a greater knowledge. Courtesy la not only something the public have a right to expect of you, but It pays. It pays In the frlenda It makes you per sonally and as a representative of th com pany. ( It pays in minimizing the friction of your life, as well as that between the com pany and Its patrons. It pays (n raising ytour atandlng with th company. It pays In th personal satisfaction re-' suiting from having done the right and kindly thing by your "neighbor." It la the wish of the management of this company that all Its representatives, whos work brings them Into contact with, the public, may appreciate and fully measure up to their duty and privilege In this re aped. Railroad men are not naturally gruff and ill-tempered, but from habit, example and precedent too many of them have come to look . upon the public as a petulant, inquisitive, neces sary evil. Travelers who have waited at "information bureaus" while the self-satisfied attendant finished writing a note to bis best girl or telephoning to his chum, or have been snubbed properly by the baggage man, or have been humiliated by the .cheap wit of the train crier,, or have submitted to any of the annoyances that beset the seeker of information in railway sta tions, will appreciate the admonition of the railway managers. . In the final analysis, the traveling publrc has a right to expect courtesy. It pays for it. The. road that makes courtesy a part of iti servica'wlll find it of demonstrated value as an Item' of railroad equipment. TWENTH J WARS A IV - EMPEROR. The world had a shiver of appre hension on June 15.-1888, when the cables flashed the mws of the death of Frederick the Noble aud the acces sion to the German throne of William II, an aggressive, self-assertive, com bative man, only 29 years of age; who, it was predicted, would plunge Europe Into war. The apprehension was heightened a little later when the young emperor cut loose from the wise tutelage of Bismarck. and served notice on the world that he was going to be his own fhaster, 'shape his own policies and direct himself to the destinies of his empire. How unfounded were these fears is shown by the fact that the emperor celebrated on June 15 the twentieth anniversary of his accession to the , throne and the event was merely mentioned in the news-cables. While the emperor has prided him self on being war-lord and has often urged the importance of keeping sharp swords and dry powder, bis nation has been -guided In paths of 'peace and progress. The resources of his country have been developed to an extent with out a parallel in German history. Ger many has led Europe for the last twenty years in an energetic, progres sive and prosperous advancement in all lines of activities, due largely to the kaiser's wise counsel and guiding influence. He has made Germany a great industrial nation, where It was largely agricultural before his reign, and has made It a lender instead of a borrower of world's funds.. He has demonstrated a wonderful capacity that has marked htm as one of the ablest rulers of the old world. A MISaVWKD MIMSTEH The. pastor of a church at Little Falls, N. V who is apparently bidding for a little personal advertising which he will pot get In this article, has de clared war on gossip and is going to resort to sensational methods to win his campaign. - He recently made an effort to turn his church study into a scandal-mongering clearing house by Inviting the women of his church to meet once a month there and exchange their stories of domestic bickerings giddiness and society ' gossip. He argued that soon as the women had told all their stories there would be nq need of repeating them In public. The proposition, carrying as It did an In suit to every member or bis congrega tion, met with a chilly reception. Women simply refused to Join the preacher's gossip party and now he Is going to try another plan. Under the new arrangement the Little Falls parson announces his In tentlon of telling the current scandals from the pulpit, going Into ail of the epicy details, but withholding the names of the parties concerned. , He Insists that he will have uq lack of ma- terlal, as he Is something of a deteo tlve himself and expects to receive anonymous letters, giving htm all the data he will not be able to And out by his own Paul Pry methods. lie wants a sensation and Is certain to have It, It is not difficult to forecast the fin ish of this minister with suitable apologies for classing him in that list He will find hlmseM deserted by his congregation and will probably be out later poking as a martyr and Issuing a new series of lamentations. He has simply mistaken hla calling. Instead of being in the pulpit, charged with the duty of teaching forbearance, brotherly love and all kindness, he has shown his fitness for editorial control of & yellow Journal that fattens on so cial festers and grows rich on scandal mongering. Bad as the old world Is, It is getting better every day. Gossip still thrives, but there is a marked dis position to retail the good deeds of men and women rather than emphasise and exaggerate their faults and weak nesses. No good can come from the plan adopted by the Little Falls preacher and the sooner he is relegated to his proper sphere the better for his church and for the people with whom he comes in contact. MKK, HOT MACHINES. "What the American worklrigman wants is good wages, paid promptly, steady employment, and the right to do what he likes with hla money," said a large employer of labor while In Omaha last week. In this he touches on the vital spot In the relation be tween employer and .employed. This man had been detailing the results of an experiment that he had carried on in hla own works In the way of pa ternally providing for' his workmen. He had installed baths, gymnasium and other appurtenances for the pur pose, as he thought, of ameliorating the condition of his workmen, but his baths fell into dusty disuse, his gym nasium was neglected and hla other efforts were quite as fruitless. He is philosophical enough to admit that he was mistaken. Nothing in hla experi ence tends to give him the impression that hla workmen do uot bathe, that they are not Interested In athletic sports and pastimes, or that they do - - , ITI not care lor oookb ana magazines, ma conclusion is that his workmen prefer to do these thlngs for themselves, and without the advice or assistance of . the employer in any way, save as the em ployer shares with the men on equal footing. ' . The experience . of. this employer Is neither unique nor singular. It has been repeated many times, frequently on a much larger scale. Employers, actuated by philanthropic or altruistic motives, have at different times under taken to provide for their workmen along "model" lines, but each time they have 'encountered ' that 'sturdy spirit of Independence ' which has eventually broken down the effort. The relations between the employer and the employed is a peculiar one nd does not permit of patronage from either side. The employer who realties that his men are men, and not machines, is certain to reap the largest reward in service In the end. while the general cause of society Is better subserved by hnaintminlng the spirit that induces the workmen to provide for them selves, ratherthan to Inculcate a spirit, of servility under which the workmen will expect to be provided for. THB KIBQ AKD TH COHOO. The United States and the other powers that were parties to the orig inal Brussels agreement by which the government of the Congo country was left to the management of King Leo pold of Belgium have a healtfty pros pect of being drawn into some deter mined plan of intervention for the purpose of ending the condition of af fairs which is admitted to be the most shocking that has existed under any administration of modern times. A Crisis has been reached between Leo pold and the Belgium Parliament and a. revolution- is In prospect unless the powers take a hand. Under the original agreement the Copgo was made a part of the Belgium government, nominally at least, the king of Belgium taking authority over the country and reporting to the Bel gian Parliament. Old Leopold has Ignored the terms of the agreement, has treated the Congo as his personal property and has permitted, if not di rectly caused, terrible cruelties in ex torting tribute. The cruelties prac ticed uDon the Congo natives have be come a wferld scandal. Recently a tenatlve agreement was-vreacnea Dy which Leopold was to-surrender con trol of the Congo to the. Belgian gov eminent" ThiswaB acceptable to the powers and to the Parliament at Brus sels, but all reform plans have been spoiled by Leopold's sudden refusal to carry out his agreement exoept upon terms which would make his control in the Congo more complete than ever, at the aame time shifting the responsi bility for mlsgovernment opon the Bel gian Parliament. The temper of the Parliament and the Belgian people has become bo hostile that a revolution di rected to the dethroning of the king Is certain to follow, unless he yields or the powers that have both a technical and a moral interest In the Congo In tervene. Great ftrltalnt on account of its heavy Interests In southern Nigeria, bordering on the Congo, baa taken the lead and has made overtures to the United States for concerted action In the form of Intervention on moral and humane grounds. The Belgian people have become aroused with the rest of the world over the mlsgovernment and maltreat ment of the poor African victims of the avarice and cruelty of the Belgian king. Should Leopold nnallygr to allow the annexation of the Congo to Belgium he will have to make terms with the Belgian Parliament and he may find a pleasanter solution of the problem than would result by the In tervention of the powers. In sny event, the old king has evidently pressed the limit of extortion and the Interests of humanity, liberty and world commerce will soon demand and result In hla loss of power that he has abused for a generation, to the dis grace of his rpuntry and to the scandal of the civilized world. TOR LOWER CARLE TOLLS. While the American government and the American people may not take very kindly to the proposition of Mr. J. H. Heaton, a member of the British Parliament, that the United States and Great Britain unite in securing Joint ownership of the Atlantic cables, there will be general approval of his sugges tion that the two governments at least Join their energies in an effort to se cure a reduction of existing table tolls, Mr. Heaton's authenticated figures showing the rates snd earnings of the cable companies, furnish sufficient argument to warrant the agitation for a radical reduction of cable ra"tes. Mr. Heaton shows- thst the carrying capa city of the Atlantic cables is 300,000, 000 words per annum, while the actual business of the companies at . present Is but 25,000,000 words.. per annum. or one-twelfth of thetr capacity. The present charge is 25 cents a word. Mr. Heaton contends that the expense Of maintenance and operation of the ca ble lines would be no greater If they were worked to their full capacity, and that the revenue they now receive would be produced If the charge was 2 cents a word Instead of 25 cents. The present rate has prevailed for a quarter of a century, although eharges havi been reduced In every-other car rying trade. It is an established fact that busi ness Is always Increased by a reduction of transportation rates and the tolls now exacted by the cable companies simply retard the development of in ternational trade relations. Refusal of the cable companies to listen to the appeals of the commercial interests of the two continents may force favora ble consideration of Mr. Heaton's sug gestion tor a government monopoly of cables. L- , womev Aim pstcholvot. Prof. Stanley G. Hall, president of Clark university, s the latest con tributor to the rapidly. Increasing volume of. balderdash that is belqg written about alleged psychological achievements. Under the different guises of telepathy, hypnotism, sub conscious activity, alterations of per sonality, hysteria, mental automat isms, these apostles of psychical ' re search have laid bare the most inner most thoughts ot the human mind, photographed the soul, discovered the workings of supernormal mental pro- cesses' and found at a mass oi stun that isn't true. They have invented machines .by which they can tell whether you are lying or whether you had eggs or pie for breakfast. They have allowed nothing to get away and have' left very little to chance. Here is Prof. Hall's latest: Woman la much more, susceptible than man. Ther Is a good reason tor this. We know that ahe has .two or mora souls. She may love and hat at the same time and the same person. Bhe may say and think that she la sick or well when th reverse la really true. It means simply that on soul la In th aacendency. Theae two soul may be absolute strangers to each other, but they certainly exist. We have proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt. Of course she may love and hate the same man or the aame woman at one time. Of course she may think she is sick when she knows she Is well and vice versa. Of course she may be an absolute stranger to herself 'and at the aame time be her own beet chum. It needed no college president to come from a laboratory to tell us this. After taking Prof. Hall's effort home and trying It on the piano the conclusion Is forced that while he may know all there is to know and then some more about psychology he is In the kinder garten class when It comes to the study of women. "That man is no friend of Theodore Roosevelt who now, from any motive, seeks to' urge him as a candidate for the great office which he has finally doclined" said Senator Lodge in his address to the Chicago convention. The names of the three Pennsylvania delegates who voted for Mr. Roose velt have not been disclosed. The Cubans Insist that they have no thought of Insurrection when the American troops are withdrawn. The seixure at New York of 10,000 rounds of ammunition that was billed to Cuban malcontents will probably be explained in some thoroughly ' satis factory manner. A statistician figures It out that 2,000.000 matches, are used every minute. The consumption might be larger If smokers did not have to waste so much time borrowing matches. Texans presented Mr. Taft with a pair of trousers made of goatskin. As they were not built on Mr. Taft's lines it would be a courteous act on, bis part to pass them on to Mr. Foraker.

K majority of th presidents of th United States have been lawyers, but Sec retary Taft. it be la elected to that of fice, will be the .Only one who has had an extensive experlenc as Judg oi both Stat and federal courts. H will b the only president who has ver refused a plac upon the United States supreme court bench. In another respect Taft'a career ha been unique. Though he has been for more than twenty-five years In publlo life, and ha heltUcommlselons signed by Presidents Arthur, Harrison, McKlnley and Roosevelt, he ha never held an elective office. His career, has been that of an administrator and Jurist, and within those limits his experience has been greater - and mor varied than that of any other candidal tor president since Buchanan. . Tan may be aald to be the first inter national statesman In many years to be nominated for president. Jeffersonv Van Buren and Buchanan served In important positions, but Taft, while he has never been an ambassador, has. In th perform ance of his duty In connection w(th th Philippines, Cuba and Panama, bad an ex perience which ha brought him Into per sonal contact with th statesman In all parts of th world, and he has had. mora than any other American in many years, to deal In a personal way with larg Inter national problems. He has displayed re markable admlneltratlve tact and skill In the government of the Philippines and Cuba. TYRAN3Y OF BLUB LAWS. Itusalaalsed nearalatlon that Moek The Home of th Fr." Kansaa City Journal. That spirit. of Intolerance which seeks to make Sunday a rigidly "moral" day, and assumes that to do this It Is naceasary to stun all material activities for twenty four hours each week, will no doubt re joice at the "lid" that has been placed on Iola, Kan. In an effort to make Iola a good place to stay away from on Sundays ihe town Cornell has passed rigid blue lawa that are even' worse than those musty and antiquated statutes under which Judge Wallace of Kanaa City seeks to make himself popular and falla ao thoroughly. Ihe first day of the "lid" at Iola saw all business suspended. Even the sale of bread and meat was forbidden. Livery stables refused to Vilre conveyances and the luck less traveling man who reached Iola after mldplght Saturday night was compelled to leave his baggage at the station. Tele phone girls were threatened with arrest If they presumed to conduct their godless vocation on Sunday. Here In Kansas City we have been ex periencing th Sunday crusade for several months, and know something of Its af flictions. Last Sunday a crowd of un fortunates who had been driven out of their homes because of the flood were as sembled in the Convention hall. They were hungry and an attempt waa made to buy provisions tor them. It was only after a long search that a tew loaves of bread were found that could b bought, and these were secured and given to the suf fering. But the man who aold this bread that the needy might be fed waa violating the law, , as Judge Wallace construes it. and he may yet have to account to that stern pillar of Justice for his unrighteous ness. It Is remarkable that In thla enlightened day and generation a thriving and progres sive city should bo subjected to a Sunday closing program so rigid as to bring dls oomfort to many of Its jltlsens and to nearly all of Us visitors.
