PUBLICITY AD NAUSEAS Virtue 1" not always its own reward. When the greatest -lacker in the country can get gratia a million dollar wortb. of advertising and far worthier people ra't a mention, things hare come to a fine pass. Fr.m no- until July 2 the newspapers of the country, yielding to the popular demand will regale their readers with thousand of columns of mush about Jack DomptT and Georges Carpentler. Carpentler arriving In New York naively inquired: say the Fort Wayne News: "Whom do I fight after whipping Dcmps?. ?" Under ordinary circumstances such an inquiry, reecting upon th champion prlie fighter of America would b received here with hoots and howls of derision. For America In the past has always dearly loved, honored, and obeyed her champion sluggers. However, m the present Instance there Is a ctrange apathy If not, indeed, active sympathy for the invader. In view of the fact that Dempsey Is the unbeaten, and many believe, the unbeatable boxer, this frame of the public mind might be considered unbelievable until we reuiember that while Carpentler has the record of a brave sad feajies soldier In the world war, Dempsey is known aa a slacker. It Is true that he was acquitted Then tried on this charge, but the very fact that hla record was of uch a character as to warrant his indictment is sufficient for the average red blooded American. Tnea. too, there was that about the evidence given In behalf at his trial that did not convince many of his fellow citizens. At any rate, it's a fight between, a true blue soldier and a man Indicted for being a .lacker, and It isn't difficult to discern where the sympathy Ilea. Demppey may win but he'll never win with be good will of the American people. In thrir esteem he is at dead as the late Charlemagn. an EgyptIan mummy.

previous: "The secret of success 1 to be born without mcney, friends or influence." And down a little in the same column this from an atldreBs by Governor Hyde: "Many a man ha started from the bottom and worked up, but most men who have started at the top have worked down. It, won t hurt you to start at the bottom and work hard." The very ideal Don't the Kansas folk know that times have changed? Of course, all that may have been well enough for our fore-fathers, but according to new-fangled notions work is an evil and money should be legislated Into our pockets. Get much and rive little, is the new doctrine. Strike the boa for a raise and shorter hours, come to work 18 minute late and get out on the stroke of the clock; if not before; thing only cf the money and little of the job; spend 10 hours raising Old Ned and weep because you are supposed to work eight: curse anybody who has worked hard and saved a few dollars, and if you don't curse him, laugh at him for being an "old fogy."' These are the ways of the times and Kanas people ''(.n's seem to have heard anything about them. What :i funny place Kansas must be! W shouldn't be surprised if alarm clocks are still sold out there as Mkely aa not there are folk In that state wtio mil telteve that the ony way to produce anything worth having is by the work of hand and brain. Poor old Kansas!

A FATEFUL QUESTION. The distributors of relief in the famine districts of China are faced by a real problem, an intensely practical question, at which they may well shudder in having to make a decision. All cannot be saved. That makes selection imperative. "Which shall be saved?" is the question the food distributors have to answer. Fhall food be given to the young, and the old. who could not be of much further use. be let perish? Decisions cn just such problems are being given in China. It. seems heartless, inhuman, that men and women should be condemned to die from starvation, but when here is not enough grain available to keep all alive, it is better that some should be saved than that the distribution should be so widespread that the portions are insufficient for any. The philanthropically inclined have done touch to lessen the horrors of the famine. Millions would have starved had not relief been given. Considering the difficulties of transportation marvelous has been the accomplishment, but It has not been pcesible to reach all who needed help and the situation Is still acute. That is the reason It devolves on sympathetic souls u answer the question. "Whom shall we let die?" Those In charge of the relief may well hesitate and seek evasion.

POOR OLD KANSAS Not so many years ago it wa that William Allen White propounded the question: "What's the matter with Kansas?" and In our humble and obscure corner we arise to repeat the query. We read in last Sunday's issue of the Kansas City Stir that a Kansas pastor said In a sermon the week
