NEWSPAPERS AND PROGRESS.


Few realize the wonderful effects of
good newspapers, and vet towns are
judged ofby intelligent men everywhere
by the number and character of their
newspapers. A hundred times we have
met men, who inquired about Kansas
and about Lawrence, whose first inQuir-
les were for the number and character
of newspapers, and universally they
expressed surprise when we told them
that Lawrence had three dailies.
Tie reader may look over Kansas,
and wherever able and well conducted
newspapers exist, there they will find
prosperous communities and intelligent
people. These newspapers. in several
instances, did not follow the population,
but preceded 1t. In some cases. several
intelligent men concluded to combine
their capital and energy, and make a
town, and the very first they did was to
look up some active, well quail fed Young
man of experience IN the printing bus.-
ness, and secure newspaper press and
there are few instances in the history of
towns in the State where such precau-
tions were taken, that the town has re-
manned a paper town." We think of a
few where newspapers were thefirst in-
situations. Emi offs ard Burlington and
Junction City, are instances in point.
Of course there are many others.
1t is ''penny-wise and pOund-fool-
ish" policy which attempts to curtail
newspaper expenses. OF course the
public authorities should use proper
precautions against extravaganza in all
things, but the newspaper ought to be
the last thing to economic on. A
country can get along better without a
jail, or a court house, than without q
newspaper, and yet we notice that in
some counties where they purchase
goods for the poor, or for other necessa-
ry expenses, they authorize a good off,
Ger to select them on his jud gment,
while they higgle and quarrel over the
expense of their county printing, when
all they had to do was 10 60 to the prin-
Ell and tell him he must do their work
well, and if he had not the type 10 suit
him, advance him a little money and let
him pay it back out of the very funds
which otherwise they would have car
ried off to some distant town. We new
er see county officer on such an errand
that we do not think his county might
have had good enough establishment
| to do their OWN work, if they had only
properly patrOniZed the struggling prin.
| ter at home.
The newspaper is the forerunner OF
enterprise and thrift. 1t does more to
bnild up u town than twenty mechanics
without it. Kansas can pride herself on
the press of the State, and that it's in
| fiuence is bringing us wealth, intelli
gence and population. 1t is gratifying
to know that very generally the Aseful.
ness of the newspaper is felt and appre
ciated.-LGUrence Tribune, Jan. 8.

CLIMATOLOGT OF KANSAS.

An able writer says: ga false notion
or opinion, once adopted, is chung to
with remarkable pertinacity, for the
reason that but few will take the trouble
to investigate for themselves"
This remark will apply with full force
to the erroneous opinion entertained in
the East, in regard to the climate OF
Kansas.
The unfortunate drouth of 1860, hap
pening as it did when the attention OF
the whole country was directed to Kan
sas, prejudiced the Eastern mil to an
extent that it will require score OF
years to overcome.
The fact that the relative deficiency
of rain was quite as great, in the same
year. i'm Southern Missouri, Arkansas
and Western Tennessee as in Kansas,
was entirely overlooked, and even to
this day a large part of the Eastern
public solemnly believe that our State
suffers yearly in the same way, and en-
Joys but little more rain than the Great
Sahara. 1t matters little, however, ex-
cept as far as it retards the growth CT
the State by preventing immigration.
Time will disabuse them of the errone-
Gus impression.
In this connection, the full and ex-
cellent meteorological report furnished
for the columns of the Tribune in the
year past, by RrOt SNOW, OF the State
University, is of great interest, and
more especially the summary for the
year, given in to-day's paper. From il
we learn that the fall of rain during the
year was 37.48 inches. This is about
the average, the re ord kept since 1854
showing Chat the mean annual precipi-
tation of rain for the eastern half of the
State being 32.78 inches, and for the
western half, bordering on the plains
a inches. This is all excel, n showing
for the State, when we consiuer that the
mean for Minnesota is 80 inches, fol
Wisconsin 30 inches, and for Michigan
30 inches-three States that are con
sidered to be as little subject to droutI
as any others of the Union.
But it is useless to pursue the subjec
further, the facts showing that Kansas
is blessed with an alI-suf1ieient quantity
of rain, taking the tables for series o
years as authority. The past year ma!
be taken as an average, both for thu
quantity of rain and its distribution

COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR ELK ADvooATE:-Some Of your read
ers may remember a correspondence which
passed through the columns of the ADVOCATE
two or three years ago, between myself and
"Medicus," respecting the "Invocation of
Saints" as taught and practiced in the church
of Rome. 1t was then my duty to point out
several errors--I do not say in the doctrine of
that church, but in the argument of my CORES
pondeut--errors of so grave a nature that they
must he fatal TO the claims Of the Roman
Church, if 40 be that they are errors of the
Church and not Of thus particular writer.
But while the letters of Medicus" seemed
in doctrine and spirit so widely different from
the letters ofthe Apostles, I am happy to be-
licve that there are some at least in that de.
nnminafion who hold 'the faith once delivered
to the Saints" Evidence of this has recently
come to hand, aud | should be glad 10 have

rest in that church held the pure Christian

reason why the Republicans should nor be
as active as the Democrats on and before
the doy of the election. The only s,imu-
Iaht OF the Democrats is the desire 10 o5.
tain the spOils of office, while the stlmu-
liant Of the Republicans is to prevent the
'rium;h Of mou who have been the authors
Of all our mistortuncs, and who, placed ia
command OF the Government, will be com.
pe led to undo all that has been gainet By
The Union arms. The Republican com
nlittees should see to it that a full RepubG.
can vote is polled. There is plenty Of time
between now and the 18th OF October. when
the election takes place, to perfect the or.
gani27tion in tho different districts. Let
the NePuoicans be impressed with the fact
that Democratic victory in Pennsylvania
in 1869 must vitalze all the hrrcsies de-
fratcd by the defeat oe the rebellion, and
they will feel it duty to come out. The
work Of reconstruction or restoration. the
payment Of the national debt and the re.
duc'ion u; taxation, can only be accom-
pEshed by a continuance of Republican
rule Let that be arrested, aud every per,

crats will be at once encouraged aud ad

that full vote is Republican victory.

THINKING men Of Pennsylvania will
find food for reflection in studying the
votes of Asa Packer while in Congress. a
number of them will be found to-day, and
from time to time, in cur "State Politics
column. They constitute a record which
few men would like to shoulder DOW. Read
in the light of history, Mr.. Packers Con-
gressional record is an extremely damaging
one. As his principles have not changed,
we have the right to infer that his Guber,
national policy will but carry out the lire
of action indicated by these votes. Those
who would like to see Pennsylvania gov
erned on the platform of the reactionary,
Democracy have found their man.
