We rejoice that those dark days have
long gone by. and with them their atten-
dant ills. Happily too. the animosities
which then were rife have slsO passed

guilty of the present; the past has its
heroes and its history. the present its &C.

We are all proud of our state; We are
glad to see her take the front rank in
civilization and material greatness; We
delight in her great name and great pro-
gress.
We. the youth of the land. are greatful
to her and to you, for the educational ad-

ISEarrning a Failure.

Man is SO constituted that. in his con-
tests with the forces of nature, he can
put forth but limited amount of effect
i've effort; he can only do about so much
work. This may increase somewhat
with advancing years and Increasing ex-
periencc. 1t may be increased by the
adoption of improved methods and new
machinery or it may be decreased by
their rejection; and while this increase
or decrease will be comparatively slight
in the individual it will be important be-
cause it will mean just the difference be-
tween success and failure. Upon such
small pivots do our destinies hang.
Ii is accepted as automatic that he who
is not doing his hes: is failing; and it is
perhaps true that in no place in life are
these facts So conspicuous AS In that of
the western farmer. With broad acres
of new and rich soil. his success has been
easy in the production of the coarse pro-
ducts of beef and grain But that time
has passed. The range cattle have fol-
lowed the buffalo and the broncho, and
though il is due TO each of them to say
that the Kansas of today would have
been impossible without them, We can
sxclaim good radiance" and still wish
them days of usefulness IN the subduing
OF other wild territory TO the demands of
the demands of modern agriculture
farmer who farmed by the mile instead
of the acre, and who wanted a county
for calf pasture; whose line fence. if he
had any. was rOdwide strip of sun
flowers. and whose barn was the wide,
wide world; who raised wheat after
wheat and corn after corn, and burned
all but the grain; who stored his three
hundred-dollar reaper in the wheat-field.
and his dog in the dining room; who wa
tered his cattle in the slough in the sum-
mer and ''let EN- lick snow in winter;
whose wife barely made money enough
from the sale of her butter and eggs to
pay for the auinine and tobacco. let alone
paying taxes to support school teacher
who wanted twenty-five dollars and
quarter month for teaching his child
rem such rot as grammar and the like;
who owned a seveniy-five-dollar shot
gun and three-dollar cook stove; who
didn't believe in .'fggerin' and fslmin'."
anc who didn't do it: who not only knew
that farming is failure. but proved it.
The pioneer in his turn has been
obliged to step down and out before the
progressive farmer as the buffalo has
vanished before the shorthorn or the
broncho before the percheron, and who
is rapidly being succeeded by the active,
intelligent man. who believes that farm
ing does pay, and proves it; who wants
the best of modes and machines; who
believes in deep farming rather than
broad, in increased productiveness per
acre rather than increased acreage; who
believes in the sheet anchor of all good
farming,-the rotation of crops,-and
who meets constantly lowering market
by . constantly cheapened cost of pro-
duction; who instead Of wasting half his
crops in the field. puts the whole of them
into his cribs. mows. and slices. and who,
above ALL believes boy is better than .
mule. and that an education is IS neces-
sary for him as are oa-s for the mule

Much has bee n said about the recent
arraignment of Mckinney and Karch,
charged with malfeasance in Office, and
those unacqualnted with the facts
would infer that trial had been had
and the worthless acquitted. To the
facts-after several days wrangling-
the court held that certain evidence,
most material, could not be submitted
to the jury, for the reason that the
proper averments were omitted in the
information char ing the otfense; hence
instructed the jury to bring in a YER
dict of not guilty. Thus by an unfor-
tunate omission by the county attorney,
the defendants were permitted to 60 un-
whipped of justice, and the taxpayers
of Ford county made to suffer. There
could be but one conclusion as to there
having been most fragrant violation
OF law without excuse or reasonable
pretext. 1t would be well for the two
gentlemen o. to profit by the recent
''cloee call, - remembering that justice
is sometimes tardy, but like the aveng-
ing angel, will inevitably overtake them.
