and recent political events were being men,
toned Mr.. Higgins is still happy. He is too
used to politics to be depressed BY reverses of

THE STAR reporter asked for for his idea Of
what did it,
''Discontent among the rank and fle," he re-
piled promptly. There is no doubt about it.
1t was not the tariff. 1t was not knitting. A
lot of democrats who were dissatisfied did not
vote for President at all. The trouble was
down among the 'short-haired democracy;'
they would not work and did not vote. They
voted the straight democratic ticket as far az
they went. They put their ballots in seven of
the boxes, but passed by the eighth, the Presi-
dents box"
As to his hopes for the future Mr.. Higgins

Failure of the Kansas Corn Crop.

RAILROADS ASKED TO REDUCE RATES ON GRAIN
so AS TOHELP THE UNFORTUNATE FARMERS.
CHICAGO. Nov ia dispatch from Topeka.
Kan, says: The railroad commissioners have
addressed communications to the general man
ayers of all railroad companies operating in
the state, asking them to give half rate on
grain shipped to Western Kansas. The board
says: ''In certain portions Of Kansas, mainly
that section lying west of the sixth principal
meridian, the corn crop for the present year
was failure, owing chiefly to the prevalence
of hot winds in July. The same conditions pre-
vailed the year previous, but with more de-
structive effect, over larger area. To meet
this emergency last year the railroad compa-
nies put into effect a reduced grain tariff,
which greatly ameliorated the unfavorable con-
ditions then existing in the region stricken.
The present year the conditions are even worse
than they were the year before. Large num-
bers Of farmers In that part of the state will
find it difficult to procure the neceseDry food
for stock which must be supported in 6rder to
conduct farming operations in the future. II
is Of the utmost importance that whatever aid
and encouragement can be extended to the
people suffering from these repeated disasters
The board b in receipt Of letters from farmers
living in the western part Of the state in which
it IL represented that similar aid in reduced
rates ON feed grain would, the present year, be
Of very great benefit to that part Of the state"
