Kansas Citys of Missouri and Kansas
combined is the center for Kansas, I"
and that state cannot maintain half
dozen Jobbing centers. My idea Is, in a
nutshell. that the past is worthless ex-
cept as we ''save its wheat and winnow
its chaff." As dead men tell no tales"
dead ages speak but few practical truths.
| That, as about all the blessings we have
came from trampling the life out of
| ancient theories and discarding all max
| inns except the ones we revamped, we
| can, if we will, do as we please IN build
| ing up kansas-not Kansas City, Kan,
or Wichita, but Kansas.
l have not intruded Wichita in this
| discussion, much as l may have been
tempted to from my knowledge OF it
from infancy to youth. | have stood for
the state, believing that one million peo-
pc added to Kansas will be of greater
benefit to Wichita than an increase at
Wichita alone. Wealth equaiized all
over state is better than the aggran-
dizement Of one city, or even two cities.
Missouri proves this statement to be
true.
The brevity of this article prevents
further enlargement on this delightful
theme, but we engage at some future
date to prove that the "past" obscured
by doubt, and festooned with the cob
webs of theorists, hindered by prejudice,
hampered by presidents. and loaded
down with pamphlets of Typographical
reasoning on why cities are built at GER
tain places, belongs to the conservative
element in society, that holds back from
cowardice, not from conviction. The
history of our common country, and of
Kansas, proves this. The ''past" is for
us; but the terms on which it can be
ours is its subordination to the present"
We should use the past as an overcoat,
not as memento. The past should in
struct us, not govern US; be an elder
brother, not tyrant.
We engage to prove that the stake we
are playing for is worth the hazard, even
if we lose; that both success and failure
are measured by the dignity of the work
attempted. Wellington succeeded, Ma
polean failed-Napolean lives by his
deeds; Wellington is most known for the
invention of corduroy boot"
CONCLUSION.
To conclude | believe that harmonious
action all over Kansas, looking to the up
building of the entire state; the adoption
of uniform system of measures to give
all our people a chance to "buy and SELF
nearer home, deliberately entered upon
and resolutely maintained by our people
cannot but be of advantage to the entire
state, bring a degree OF prosperity to
every man who claims Kansas as his
home and free Kansas from Kansas City,
Mo-. and at last place Kansas CONNER
cially where ii, as the center of the
United States, belongs.
Ten small jobbing centers are better
than one hybrid one mule, with
Kansas intellect and Missouri body,

may grow.

Low PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE.

Chicago Daily Market Review.
One hundred and twenty thousand
cattle for two consecutive weeks in June
was something undreamed of. The
market simply could not withstand the
pressure. Mondays supply was taken
at strong prices, but since then there has
been a shrinkage in the selling value OF
shipping cattle of 20 to 80 cents per cwt.,
and the decline was the most severe
where it was the least expected, viz, in
choice TO extra steers of from 1,400 to
900 pounds weight. There appears to
be practically no limit to the
number of fat cattle ready to be
dumped upon the market at a days
notice, and the time when we may con-
tidently count upon a steady and per
manent dwindling of the receipts and a
steady and permanent enhancement of
values seems as remote as ever. Cattle
averaging over 1,400 pounds are now
about as low as they have ever been.
They are nearly 81 per 100 pounds lower
than at this time last year. This means
a difference of $50 per head in the sell
ing value of a 1900 pound bullock. Is
there any wonder. that cattle raisers are
thoroughly discouraged and anxious TO
so out of the business! Not fat steer
arriving at the yards but is losing for the
feeder from 50 to $40 per head"

When a Tennessee judge declares that
misdemeanors are not extraditable Of
fences under the laws of his state he is
simply setting the authority of the
sovereign state of Tennessee" higher
than that of the United States. Inter
state regulation is regulated by federal
authority and the United States supreme
court has interpreted the statute to au-
thorize extradition for misdemeanors.
Nevertheless, since the person whose
extradition was asked by the COVER
nor of Mississippi and the denial of
which gave rise to controversy is beyond
the jurisdiction of the Tennessee official
it is matter of some curiosity to see
whatMississippi's chief magistrates going
to do about it. Meantime John and Jake
are complacently slipping their toddy IN

The latest application of the "drop a

piled in New York church, where a
nickel dropped in the rack in front of
the seat secures the devout worshipper a
prayer book. A clever device, but a
more popular response TO the drop of the
nick just now would be an automatic
fan or a glass OF ice water. Seriously,
a water cooler filled with cold wgter and
placed in the vestibule of the church for
the comfort OF the congregation as it as

Allegheny mountain region seems to be

disasters. The worst and most destruc-
tive floods ever experienced in this coun-

the past two months. In proportion to

1t is gratifying to note the frequent
evidences recently manifested by ex-
Coy. Martin of conversion to the orthO-
dox Kansas faith, and we may be per-
mitted to indulge the hope that the con-
version is genuine and of the effort
prompting sort. Here is one of the most
recent indices of his proper alignment,
which is found in his Champion:
Several Kansas papers in mentioning
rumor that the A, T. & S. T. company
intends to largely reduce its list of en-
ployes at Topeka, do so with ill-con-
cealed glee. This is very mean spirit.
If the Atchison company reduces its
shops or Office force at Topeka, it means
a further transfer Of business and labor
to Chicago. And does this help
any other Kansas town? Does
it benefit Kansas? Certainly
not. 1t would hurt Topeka, and benefl
Chicago and Illinois. There is too much
of this mean jealousy and selfishness in
all our Kansas towns, and it encourages
the corporations TO treat any or all of
them with contempt. a wrong done
Topeka, or AtchisOn, or Wichita, or
Salina, or any other Kansas community,
by Kansas corporation, should be re-
sented by all Kansas The cities, towns
and people of Kansas must unite to pro-
tect e;,ah others interests, or they will
lie wronged and robbed in detail. with
impunity. An injury to one Kansas
town should be the concern of all Kan
sas. The state will be great and power
full just in proportion as this spirit is
illustrated by its people.

can be furnished at % cents. They are
a year or two too late in the gas line to
get the full benefit of the ANTICIPATED

the cities electricity has superseded gas
for illuminating purposes. Still there is
