several weeks ago. He brought to us
hope and Inspiration, and by tho united
efforts of a few of our sympathizers

present outlook everything bids fair
toward making it permanent.

TO THE READERS-OF THE" SON.
.1. II. Johnson, who the Son accepted
a short while ago im an assistant on
this paper, is in nowise connected
with us now. He is not the man that
we look him to be, and any soliciting
or attempting to collect money for the
Son by him should be treated with
contempt .
Confidence is the Mainspring of
Business. ot
That's why the Big Store Grows Bigger
Tho people have confidence in It they know the
Kmery, Bird, Thayer merchandise Is good, yea, more than
good. Its the best, and that our city and mail order adver
tising describes the goods as they really are.
Misrepresenting merchandise is easy. But aooner or
later the deception is found out and the sham store loses
the customer.
The shoddy merchant has but one recourse. He must
paint his merchandise values In such extravagant and
alluring colors that a certain volume of new business
(people who have not discovered the sham yet and are
attracted by glittering advertisements offering genuine
goods at trloe for which such goods cannot be sold) will
result, even if the buyer never returns a second time.
The Emery, Bird. Thayer Store has 42 years of honest
value-giving behind it. We bold our thousands of cus
tomers year after year. There is a reason confidence.
Confidence Is the main spring of business.
People have confidence in the Big Store and a power
ful main spring Is the result. It turns the wheels of a
vast business and unlike most machinery It does not wear
out. Every year It generate more energy, turns more
wheels, serves more customers.
No rust, no shop-worn goods, no ancient styles here.
Emery, Bird, Thayer prices are always as low as
honest mechandise can be consistently sold for.
Your Christmas money, will go further here.

President Roosevelt stands today as
one of the greatest nun of the age.
He is a champion of integrity, honesty
and fair play. If all tho American
people were as broad, fearless and up

The people of Kansas City are pa
tiently awlling the enjoyment of
cheaper gas and cheaper walT too.
Kansas City, Kansas, ami Independ

ing of much reduced gas bills while
1 lii' people of this city must rent con

give them what they are entitled to.
There must b a graft somewhere
and the people of this city are going
to demand an explanation.
The unpopularity of the Connati
Measure, which had for lis purpose
the disfranchisement if the Negro
voters of Maryland came In evidence
at the polls last Tuesday. The meas
ure met an overwhelming defeat and
now Senator (iorinan, according to his
that the Poo Amendment would carry
expression cannot retire from the pol
itical ring, li was his fondest hope
at the polls and thus his efforts would
be crowned with success and ho could
retire in contentment. The will of
the people asserted Itself and the old
senator must begin anew.

Honor Not Universal.
"Chinamen are, as a rule, very hon
orable In business matters, but it must
not be taken for granted that integrity
Is universal with them," said Mr. H.
M. Lakin, of Shanghai, at the Shore
ham. "I hnve lived In the Orient for many
years, and have had extensive deal
ings with all sorts of astern people.
There is a saying thnt a Chinaman's
word is his bond, anil this is very true
from the fact that it is a rare thing
for them to make any other than a
verbal contract. So It happens that
what a Celestial Jells you he will do
will be performed in a great majority
of cases. The fact remains, however,
that you've got to pick your man in
China Just the same as in any other
country. Ah Sin has bis counterparts
in his native land, and every European
over there can teP you of his experi
ences with tricky Chinamen.
"I do not believe that a Chinaman
Is any more honest than his fellow
man of other nationalities, as Is shown
by the vast amount of grafting which
permeates the social and political life
of the empire. The individual Chinese
business man is straght In his deal
Cleveland lngs largely because it Is a matter of
I necessity." Washington Post.
Some Gag Rules.
When you get so you can't hear
your feet light on the sidewalk, don't
try to take more'n another one.
When you are walking olong the street
and every person you meet looks like
someone you have met before it's a
good time to look for the road home.
When you go home at night an' go
to bed if you reach down an" get hold
of the button of your nightsbert, afi'
pull It aroun' your neck, an think It's
the sheet, it's a sure sign you're good
an' drunk.
If you get In the niornin', an' put
on one shoe an' them pick up the other
one, an' look at tho sole of it, to see
which footo it goes on, you had better
go up the river an' fibh awhile before
goin' to work.

WHEN TO CRITICI8E.
When your heart Is warm with love,
Even for your enemies;
When your words come from above,
Not from where the venom is;
When you see tbe man entire,

Find a somewhat to admire
Underneath the paltry mass
Not till then, if you are wise,
Will you dare to criticise.
