HOME REFORM.

Every newspaper ought to charge,
and collect ITS pay, for every line OF
advertising or noticing anything
that Is for the benefit of any individual
or organization. 1t then ought to lib
orally contribute, in cash, to ali public
charities or enterprises. The unbusi-
ness like practice is, however, to have
the newspapers charge nothing for
what 1t does, and then deprive it of q
large income 1t needs and ought to
have. Also to deal out some times a
free pass or complimentary ticket,
which is kind of pay no other bust
ness establishment expects to take on
be thankful for. When in addition to
doing a good deal for nothing, the pa
per Is called upon to contribute in
money just the same as other business
houses who have really done nothing,
q double burden is put upon it. Yet
this is the usual practice, and largely
accounts for the fact that so many pa
pers fall every year, and so few make
any money. 1t is time that newspaper
men run their business on regular bus
iness principles-pay their own way
everywhere, and make everybody and
everything pay tor advertising. Then,
and not before, newspapers will pay q
due return for the capital, labor and
skill put into them, as they haYe a
right 10 do.

WHERE FARM.

The assessors report we give to-
day, of the agricultural productions
Of Emporia township, show that ii
is well settled, and quite productive.
1t is also well known to have ample
room yet for at least double its farm
ing and stock breeding population.
Thousands of its fertile acres are adj
jacent to, and within plain sight of,
Emporia, unimproYed, and free for
cattle to range upon. Every day peO-
pie go through this township on
their way to hunt new homes in the
southwest and never think to stop
and look up the hundreds of good
bargains they can get right here
within easy reach of fine home
and railroad market, educational
privileges, improved roads, bridges.
and unsurpassed as a cheap point to
make purchases of all kinds of mer-
chandise, and in every respect ten
to fifteen years in advance of the
frontier counties. We say that con-
sidering all the features in the case
hundreds of men go through EN-
poria township every year who
could buy better and cheaper land
in it, as they could also in many
other townships of Lyon county
than they can or will get in the new
counties they go to. They make 6
mistake in passing this section with
out looking up the solid, practical
assured inducements it offers to new
| sattlars

The M. x. 81 II. H.nnd Depart-
mRent.

1t is understood that, in conse-
quence of u recent change in the
management of the NJ. X. & Il. II.
r., some changes, and perhaps an
entire change, IN the personnel of the
Land Department will be made !;
and while IL is also fully understood
that the change is simply the result
of that favoritism which rewards
friends and Furnishes enemies, still
we desire to improve the occasion
to say something of such of the re-
firing officers as we happen to
know personally.
Prof. GOodnow, the Land Com
missioner, is one of The stand-bys of
the State, honest, prudent, sagac-
ious, of large and favorable ac-
quaintance, which has been of great
service to the company in the sale of
its lands-R business in which char
acter stands for more than CAB.
Prof. Goodnow's minute and accur-
ate knowledge of the physical char
acteristics of the State, of the differ
emit qualities of its land, has been no
doubt of great value-qualifications,
too, which are really indispensable
in Land Commissioner.
Capt. Sommers, who has been
Prof. GoodnOw's assistant, and up
on whom has dsvolved much of the
Office routine and special duties out
side, is an excellent business man,
and thorough gentleman.
The Chicago branch Office, a most
important one for the company, has
been for some time In charge of r.
W. Randall, whom most of our
readers know. Mr.. Randall has
been resident of Kansas for over
fifteen years, knows the State, its
