Everybody who loves the truth, and loves his fellow man, loves all good will strive to bring such conditions about. the same house or piece of furniture or horse or carriage that another person possesses, but many a man who observes the comfort and pleasure derived from the use of these things has a natural and rightful desire to possess other tilings of the same sort and quality.

But envy is found among those who possess sufficient ill gotten wealth, tleeced by legal processes, it may be from the unsophisticated or helpless poor, so that time hangs heavily on their hands in trying to spend it. Even here, envy is not caused by the possession of wealth so much as by the fopish and sickening adulation which is called forth by its lavish and foolish expenditure. The opponents of the progress of the human race are noted for nothing if not for the habit of attributing their own sins to those whose progress they attempt to check.

The expert solicitation of a patent is sometimes of mighty Importance. It surely was witli Howe, with West inghouse, and a hundred others who have achieved fame and fortune as a result of their inventions. We notice with pleasure the location in our midst of the firm of Comstock Rosen, patent solicitors, who for skill and integrity cannot be more than equaled in the United Stalls. The work of the senior member of this firm uu? extended over a period oi some thirty years, and his skill as mechanic is well known. This firm is fully equipped to secure patents in the United States and foreign oun-tries.

It is the only institution ol its kind in the state of Kansas, and looks to the men who achieve fortune thru their ingenuity to give it their support. Kansas Farmer.

With a tincture of this and a spirit of that and a gum of the other, they hope so be able to add color to the competitive mummy, and give it life and stick It together and make ii last a little while longer.

No use, gentlemen. Its a dead mummy. You cannot till the barns by burning the tiields of ripening grain. You cannot build more houses by burning the forests and lumber and closing the brick yards and stone quarries, You cannot fill the (stomach of a hungry man by dumping the meats and groceries into the ocean. Restriction of production is no cure for the people's inability to buy back the products of thei toil at a price greater than they have received for their labor.

Restrict production and thus throw men out of employme nt and you have destroyed the purchasing power of the market in the same proportion that you have lessened the supply of goods on that market. You have made more hungry men instead of less. You have played at curing an illness, and have started an epidemic, It cannot be done thus, gentlemen. And if you were actuated by the Spirit of Love instead of the spirit of selfishness, you would not make a pretence of trying to solve the economic problem by restricting production when millions of people who are willing to work are restricted in the supply of their necessities. On occasion, a queen dies, a king passes out, a noted statesman takes his departure, or an ocean steamer, laden with precious humanity, sinks to the bottom of the sea.

The world bows its head for a moment in sympathetic grief, the press and pulpit preacli their funeral sermons, and the orators eulogize in glowing panegyrics. Far be it from us to make light of any genuine sorrow, or of any sympathy with it. If the grief proclaimed at the death of those whose lives have been lived in rythmic unison with pomp and pageantry and the world's applause, is also felt for those whose hearing never caught the melody of harmonic environments; whose eyes could never discern the beauty of "lines drawn in pleasant places;" whose feet never fell to the cadence of stirring strains; or whose fingers, stiffened by mechanical drudgery, could not evoke tne sounds that sooth from life's heart-strings, it is well. But much of the apparent grief expressed for those whom death takes from high places, and who have had plenty of the good tilings of this life, conies from those who have no apparent grief for those unfortunates who die a thousand living deaths in penury and want. Let the nation own the trusts.

Gilpin, Secretary, 534 Kan. Tojeka, Kansas Envy. It is often asserted that socialism is the gospel of envy. What is o.eant is to the effect that a poor man passing by the palace of a rich man, wants the palace and furniture, and the adjacent stables, horses and carriages. The fact is that no one, not entirely cut, of the ordinary, desires to possess.
