Farmers Institutes

The Kansas Farmer is very much in
terested in the work being done and in
contemplation by Farmers Institutes
and it therefore gives US much pleasure
to present to our readers the following
letter On the subject from Prof. f. NJ
Shelton:
Editor Kansas Farmer: Il desire to
call the attention of the readers of the
Farmer to the fact that the Faculty Of
the Agricultural College are now engag-
ed III making out a program of the
Farmers Institutes for the coming win
ter, aud 10 invite their assistance and CO.
operation.
1t is, for obvious, reasons, the wish of
the Faculty that the six institutes to be
held this coming winter be held in as
many different sections of the state, and
when possible where institutes have not
before been held. At the present time
partial arrangements have been made for
holding institutes in the central part of
the State, and at points northwest and
west from Manhattan. No applications
have yet reached US from the southern
and eastern and northeastern cuunties of
the State, prints which We desire to
reach the coming winter. Will our
farmer friends in those or other sections
OF the State see what can be done in this
we believe, imp rsant work Our terms
are very easy. The College at its own
expense furnishes the one-half of the
lectures, papers or addresses gwen the
local committee furnishes the other half
of the papers or addresses, and provides
for the hall and what advertising is need
ed. May we not expect that our en-
terprislng farmers will unite with US in
making a success of these important
means of Improvement, as the Farmers
Institutes have proved wherever tried?
1 shall be glad to furnish any further H.
formation to your readers.-PrUf. Z. NJ

some interesting Figures.

Il is no wonder that Americans take
naturally to arithmetic. We love iph>
ering, because all the tables we com pile
reveal our great national progress. The
census shows, that while in 1870 we
had 1922, 81 agriculturists, the num-
Der increased in 1880 to 1O,71O,eOO.
In 1870 We had 2,7O7 ,421 manufactur-
ers, which number Increased in 1880 to
6,250,O00. The wages in our manu-
featuring establishments increased from
$378, S7S, 1866 in 1860 20 $4,5O0,OOO,-
600 in 1880. Then look al the vast &C.
emulation of property in this country.
In 1900 the wealth of England was es
timated at 5000, 600, 900, while tie
United States was but little over 1900
100000, In 1880 the figures stood {:
Great Britain, $4,000, 100000; the
United States, 55, 500, 100000. These
are gigantic sums and represent euor-
nous growth. The United States to-
day is the richest nation on the globe,
and It's accumulations are the result not
Of economy, but of wise manipulation
of the forces of nature. Vast az has
been the accum Alation of our wealth 1t
IS nothing to what the future censuses
viii show, for it is not too extravaganza
to hope that by 1850 the United States
will not only be the most populons ma.
ton in the world, but that its wealth
Will be greater than the accumulated
riches Of all Europe. -Demorists Month

naaler calkIn's PlatfornA

In looking over the siuatiOR I ana led
20 make the following general Observa-
tions
see nothing in the way of a speedy
reorganization Of the Republican party
and sure read to victory III ali the
State, except New York and Pennsyl
vania. Whether the breach is 50 wide
in those two States that il cAunot be
healed remains to be seen. think the
temperance people throughout the coun-
try will see that the time is not ripe for
the enforcement of prohibition, and that
question will be eliminated from politics.
This question out Of the way, New
York and Pennsylvania hold the suc-
cess Of the RepuDncan party in the flu
ture IN then hands. To insure the sue
cess of the Republican parry the. follow
ing subjects must be t1eated heroically
aud honestly:
A reduction of the taxes Of one hun
dred millions annually.
A revision of the tariff laws.
Economy In public expenses.
Civil service reform aud no compul-
sorry assessments upon Office holders.
Cheap transportation for the farm.
ers and shippers, and UoDgreslonal ac-
ton regulating freights and fares.
: Honesty in the administration OF
public affairs.
Education of the illiterate youth
throughout the south as we'll as in the
north.
A free ballot, fair elections and an
honest count.
To these subjects the Republican
party must bring an intelligent judg
ment, and its actions must be in line
with its professions.
We copy from the Herald Chrop ical,
published at La Porte, Indiana, aa out
line of platform of the Republican party
Tor the future as suggested by W. IL.
CalkiDs. We think his suggestions
will bear thoughtful consideration.

Amending our Fundamental Law

%The Champion outlines a planfoT
redistricting the State into Congress
ional Districts In its issue Of Deem
Der 2, which has, perhaps, as many
merits as any plan that is likely to be
adopted. This or any other plan will
throw two OF more of our present
members elect in the same district.
The Champion truthfuliy says that
any attempt to form districts that will
give each member district would be
worse than folly. While we are of the
opinion that all reasonable care
should be taken to avoid complication
or to legislate members out of Con-
gress. Tie fact that some one of our
delegation live in the wrong place
should not be an excuse for making
a shoe string or ans horn distric
20 accommodate them. In this plan
the north west would be included in
the 5th District and composed of Re
public, Cloud, Ottawa, Jewell, Mitch
ell, Smith, Osborne, Phillips, Rocks,
Norton, Graham, Decatur, Sheridan,
Rawlins, Thomas. Cheyenne and
Sherman, while this would give ns
district ESQ miles east and west and
90 miles north and south yet it can
not be denied that there is commu-
nifty of interests in this territory that
would go far to outweigh any objec-
ton to its extreme length. If, how
ever, we were going to change it we
should be in favor of dropping Repub-
lie, Cloud and Ottawa and taking on
Lincoln, Ellsworth and the Counties
west on the X. p. Road. While this
would make more compact district,
1t is doubtful whether it would be as
satisfactory.
