IT, A proposition is before the Legislature to
grant the city of Topeka the privilege of erect
ing building for its Free Library in one corner
of the State House grounds. The Legislature
should veto that, without ceremony. That Free
Library is good thing for the city; but the
State House grounds should be reserved exclu-
sively for State purposes, and every encroach-
ment from outside be resisted.

way they are unable to get this into the eleva

are pretty near full of grain and can only work
slowly, taking little at time, and that there is not
now any way of relieving this blockade; nor is any
relief looked for in the near future. This is what
troubles the shorts, and is interfering with their

is good deal of unthreshed wheat
in that and adjoining counties, and
fears are entertained by farmers that
they won't be able to use the wheat
for seed. Now If the wheat was In
good condition when stacked, and II
it has remained in good condition
since then, that is to say, If 1t has
not heated in the stack there is no
danger but that every kernel will
grow. In Vermont and Canada fifty
years ago, the farmers never thought
of threshing out their wheat until
winter, when they made whole win
ter's work of it, frequently extending
it to the last of March, and poor seed
wheat was never for moment
thought or heard of. The grain was
threshed with a fail on the barn floor
and the straw was used as threshed
for the stock. In Illinois wheat fire.
quently stood in the stack for a year
or two, and If it was we'll stacked
and in good condition when 1t was
stacked, we always used it for seed,

that it would not grow. This was
before the days Of railroads, but the
same results will follow now. At all
