TOO MANY"CLAIM HOLDERS.' -

Topeka Commonwealth: A western

we want is men who will SOW and

many people in that section of the state
who went there ITO get RICH" and not

y land Official told the Common.
wealth not long ago that the country
needed farmers and must have the IN (:

western Kansas To get claims, and after
proving up on them had gone east to
live, their idea being to sell their claims
and not TO farm them. And there

ne SAID, ana TOO many people who have
expected To make their money without
working for it. There is no question
about the adaptability of the soil TO all
products, or as to the success of those
who farm. Farmers in many sections of
western Kansas, last year, as bad as the
season was, raised fair crops. Western
Kansas wants farmers, blacksmiths.

Exchange: The publisher of a
newspaper has one thing to sell and one
thing to rent. He has the newspaper
to sell and the space in its columns to
rent. Can any one inform us why he
should be expected to give away either
the one or the other? He can do so if
he chooses. and he does. as a matter of
practical fact, furnish great deal of
space rent free. But it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do it..
1t ought TO be recognized as a contribu-
ton exactly as would the giving away
of sugar or coffee by the groceryman.
But strange to say, it is not looked upon
in that light at all, yet everybody knows
that the existence of newspaper de-
ponds as much on the rent of his space
and the sale of his paper as the mer-
chants success depends on selling his
goods instead of giving them away"
