Lincoln Graves, the local scribe of THE WORLD, will spend a large part of the remainder of this month leading the farmers of the western part of the county out of darkness and into the light by planting into their homes and affections a regular copy each week of this great religious newspaper. THE WEEKLY WORLD 18 acknowledged to 'be one of the neatest and newsiest papers in this part of the sunflower state, and the farmers of Crawford county are learning to love it as they love their hot cakes and broiled ham for breakfast. Junction City has merry go round" club. And unlike most Kansas wheels it has nothing to do with silk money or the sub-treasury.

Ewing Herbert says he is not to be Governor Morrill's private secretary. As Major Morrill says the same thing the question may be considered settled. Advertising is merely telling people in a telling way what you can do for them. If you tell them often enough and in the right way, there is no possibility of failure. It is said that very few of the people of China know that a war has been in progress, and they are not likely to find it out from anything accomplished by the armies of their country.

Plutocracy aims to keep the people divided on a multitude of questions that in no way relates to the general welfare, and their attention attracted while the plundering goes right on. If the rank and file of the voters would stop and consider the situation, there would not be an old party congressman elected two years hence. In his evidence before the Labor Commission last Monday, Mr. Pullman said: "The policy of the company bas always been to make itself as financially strong as possible."

When Daniel Webster died, he was chosen to fill the vacancy in the senate. He had knowa personally every president of the United States with the Miss Shids Mori is a Japanese student at Radcliffe College. Her father is a wealthy banker of Yanagawa, Kiushu, Japan, and all the family are devoted Christians. Miss Mori has come to this country to fit herself by a study for missionary work in her native country. "I came over," she says, "with Mr.

and Mrs. Davis, who are missionaries to Japan, sent out by the Methodist church. My father was converted and baptized into the Presbyterian church, and I was educated in Japan in a mission school directed by the Congregationalists. I do not think the denomination makes any difference. All I care for is the Christian church at large and so I do not pay any attention at all to the differences in the creeds.

"Mr. Davis was settled about 50 miles -that is about 80 of your miles- from my home, and I went to their home and lived there for a little while before I came to this country. My father thought I might better do so to get used to American food and learn to eat with a knife and fork, and to wear the American dress, etc. "No, I do not think it so pretty as the Japanese dress, and the waists of your dresses I do not like. We do not wear any corsets, you know, with our Japanese dress, and we are so much more comfortable all the time, especially in the summer.

The common laborer who receives a mere pittance for his work pays good round price for every ride on a railroad car, while almost every lawyer and banker has a free pass, but when either of these want a postage stamp the cost is the same to rich and poor alike. The corporations are run on the plan of making the rich richer and the poor poorer, and government ownership is the remedy. Close Connection.
