DOWN WITH THE OPTION GAMBLERS

From the Kansas Farmer.
Something must be done to get rid of
gambling in optIons-buying and selling
without any intention to deliver or eX-
pectation to receive-the loser simply
paying the difference. A great many
million bushels of wheat appear to be
bought on particular day-more, many
times more than there is in the country
at the time, and probably not a bushel
OF it except that which is bought for
cash is ever presumed to exist. 1t Is
simply betting on the price Of grain at
particular day, and is the cause of all
corners" in the grain market, cheating
farmers when the price is reduced, and
cheating consumers when the price is
raised beyond what legitimate trade
would put it, Farmers should make this
matter an issue in all coming election
campaigns until this sort of gambling is
utterly abolished.
The Wichita EAGLE advises farmers
to demand the enactment Of a national
law on the subject. This and some other
grave matters will set the constitutional
lawyers to discussing legal questions, in
volved, and congressman will be dis
posed to go very slow in proceeding
which would knock the props from I'M
der the state rights doctrine; but if the
farmers will present bold and united
front when demanding law of congress
prohibiting option gambling it will be
found that the constitution is not in the
way. Since steam and electricity have
been put to work disposing of distance
and time. all articles of general use come
within the scope of interstate commerce,
and the constitution specially authorizes
congress to regu ate commerce among
the several states. If in regulating for
eign commerce congress may levy duties
on commodities imported from other
countries, there is no good reason why it
may not, in regulating commerce among
the several states, prohibit any practice
which injuriously interferes with free
competition in the open market. If the
farmers viii take hold of the subject and
press it on the attention of lawmakers,
remedy will be found.

GIVE WICHITA A CHANCE.

''Last Friday three car loads of fat hogs
were shipped from Neodesha to Wichita.
being the first shipment there from Will
| son county. If Wichita, which gives
| promise of becoming an important pack
ing point, could pay prices for cattle and
hogs approximating those realized by
Kansas shippers at Kansas City, there
are but few citizens of the state who
would not be glad to see her get the trade
and many shippers, we believe, would
make it point to favor her. Wichita
is sixty miles nearer Fredonia than
Kansas City is, and if her prices JUST
| fed it we should advocate showing the
Arkansas Valley metropolis the utmost
| partiality. Wichita is a Kansas City out
and out, situated in the heart Of the
state. and her every interest is exclus-
lively identified with the prosperity,
growth, welfare and glory of Kan
sas. By building up great live
stock market and packing headquarters
in Kansas the interests of the state are
promoted in various substantial ways.
Let Wichita do her best. If she can
compete with Kansas City in the race to
a reasonable or encouraging degree,
every citizen of the state shonld bid her
Godspeed and favor giving her a lift.
Such sentiments and expressions as the
foregoing from the Fredonia Citizen are
no less loyal to the state-the true
breathings of the Kansas idea-than
they are glotifying and encouraging to
Wichita. 1t is something of areturn for
the long and faithful endeavor put forth
for the advancement of the common in
terest of this city, this section, and the
state as whole. Nothing can be truer
than the declaration often made in these
columns that what benefits the state in
part benefits as a whole. What would
be the effect upon the tax lists and tax
rate of the state if the millions of dollars
that have been contributed by Kansas to
the upbuilding of great commercial en-
trepot, so to speak, on alien soil, had
been expended in building such city
within our own state? And it might
have been done with greater facility if
only the start had been made at the
proper time.
But it is not too late yet. There is I'M
questionably such desire extant in the
state at this time. and inasmuch as
Wichita has demonstrated not only
willingness and desire to thus serve the
commonwealth, but also a capacity to
do so, there is no reason founded on
sense why it should not and will not.
Wichita only asks chance. She has
proven equal to every demand yet made
upon her in every particular. And even
now, young as she is, as a live stock
market she has more than met the eX-
pectations Of all who have given the
market trial. So far as the EAGLE is
advised no shipper of live stock to this
market has had occasion to express any
feeling than that of the fullest satisfac-
ton at his treatment by the dealers here
and the prices received for his steers
Give Wichita chance.

Poor Kansas City is getting deeper and
deeper into the work every day; in fact,
it would seem that the harvest time is
past and the summer ended with her.
and that she is anything but saved.
With her commercial prestige gone, her
railroad supremacy broken and her
growth and prosperity paralized. her
condition appeals to. the sense of pity
however little of sympathy she may be
entitled to in view of the inordinate sell
fishness and greed that has characteriz-
ed her career thus for. The Globe-Dem-
ocrat of Saturday the Sd. adds this leaf
to the current history of the city's meth
DDS and states:
One thing noticeable in real estate cir
cles is the increasing frequency with which
City lots and improved property on their
lists for sale. Some time since, when
speculation in that town was rife, this
sty.e of business was done frequently; but
OF late such realty has proved but bore,
and agents began to refuse it a place IN
their attention unless the deposltor ad-
vanced 50 to cover postage stamps and
stationery to be used in an attempt to
sell the ground. But as the refusals to

of clients to take lots there became more
frequent until they have become annoying.
There is talk brewing of getting a resolu-
tlon passed at the Real Estate exchange to
forbid any members taking the agency of
ground in that city in order to protect
those who are now constrained to accom-
mOdate patrons.

A few days ago the Topeka and Fort
Scott papers, if not openly declaring the
sorghum sugar industry failure in this
state, at least gave out the idea that it
is not profitable The two largest sugar
mills in the state are located at the places
named. and the intimation thrown out
therefrom that the industry is liable to
prove a losing one could not fail to have
discouraging effect upon the industry
generally and at the points where new
works are going up in particular. Those
same papers now announce that active
work has begun towards putting the
works in shape to handle the increased
crop of cane that will soon be ready for
the harvest. Our guess is that this

the industry is profitable. but demon

The Topeka Capital undertakes to de-
fend the position it has taken in advocat-
ing Prof. Garfield for the CHARACTERISTIC
of the state university, and in extenua-
ton of its advocacy, Notwithstanding
the professors well known political
views, the Capital says: He did not
teach free trade as a professor heretofore
having the chair of political economy,
and if made chancellor he would GER
tainly not do what he failed to do as a
professor. The argument made against
Prof. Garfield on this ground IS not
worthy moments serious consideration,
and is only referred to in order to correct
the erroneous impression that he has
ever used his position to force his per-
sonal views upon his students"
If this be true why in the name of
common justice and fairness did not the
Capital come to the rescue of its personal
friend and give both him and his &C
cusers the benefit of this tardy explana-
ton? The Capital must have known, all
these months and years, that the criti-
cism of and opposition to Professor Can
field on the part of the Republican press
of the state has been based upon his
teachings on political economy. and not
on account of his private views thereon,
by reason of which alone no reasonable
and intelligent person would presume to
prescribe him. The Capital, which pa
per assumes the championship of the
professor for chancellor, denies that it is
influenced in the premises by distinction
accorded him by the National Teachers
association at Nashville recently, and we
cheerfully give our e. C. the benefit Of
the disclaimer. but it is, nevertheless. a
noticeable coincidence that the an

and the first formal presentation of the
