COMMONWEALTH" cHoKED.

1t is the Topeka Capital again.
Major Hudson, the proprietor, ex-
plains that Commonwealth was kept
at the end Of Capital for few
months on account Of some legal
notices, and to familiarize Kansans
with the fact that the Commonwealth
had been absorbed by the Capital.
We hail with delight the rally On
the word Capital. 1t looked bad to
refuse to use the hyphenated jargon,
and to use it was a regular patience
killer.
The Capital has always been
good enough for us. In fact, it is
the best daily newspaper anywhere
in the Mississippi valley. Major
Hudson, as a newspaper man, is the
superior Of the lamented Horace
Greeley. As an editor, he is agrees
sive and consistent. Mr.. Greeley
never did pretend to be able to man
age the business side of newspaper.
This, Major Hudson does to perfec-
ton. Do not imagine for an instant
that we place a low estimate upon
Mr. Greeley's ability as a writer.
He had an insight into the prob
lens Of his time such as is enjoyed
by few men, indeed. But his fight
ing was seldom done on the plan of
fighting it out on this line if it
takes all summer" Major Hudson
never fights on any other basis,
unless he adds to the summer one or
more of the other seasons.

SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Our people talk much Of ''snow
in the mountains" They feel that
a heavy storage Of snow in the
mountains of Colorado means album
dance Of rain in western Kansas.
As far as this idea applies to mid
summer, it is Internationally correct.
This, from the Colorado Farmer,
will interest WORLD readers in gen.
eral: ''The question has been asked
the Farmer, Is there the usual
amout Of snow in the mountains /?
Reports are somewhat conflicting;
but it is doubtless safe to say there
is less than the usual amount in the
upper ranges. During the late
storms good deal of snow fell; but
it has not had time to become firm
ly packed, and will not remain long.
The best plan fer those who irrigate
will be to act on the supposition
that water will not be plentiful, and
for that reason to use it as economi-
cally as possible. "

THE TOBACCO Law.

Cigarette sucking continues so
brisk with many minors that we
copy, for such as may feel an in
terest in the matter, the following,
from the Troy Chief, The law is
intended to prevent the wrecking of
human lives. 1t should be respected:
We have been so often asked as to the
exact provisions of the law prohibiting
the sale of tobacco or cigars to minors
that we publish it below. It will he
seen that the law does not permit the sale
even upon the request or authority of the
parents OF such minors, and the dealer is
subject to punishment if he sells to e.
minor for his fathers use. The prescrip-
ton OF physician is the only way out,
only so far as the sale of narcotics is con-
cerned:
SECTION l. That it shall be unlawful
for any person or persons in this state to
sell, give or furnish any cigar, cigarette
or tobacco in any form. opium or any
other narcotic in any form to any minor
under sixteen Q6) years OF age.
Sec. 2. The violation of any provision
of this act shall constitute a misdemeanor,
and any person found guilty thereof shall
be fined in any sum not less than five
dollars (S5 O0) nor exceeding twenty-five
dollars (S25.00) for each and every such
offense.
SEC. 8. The provisions OF this act
shall not apply to the sale of any mar
cotic made upon the prescription of a reg
ular practicing physician.

PHnLIPsBURG is harder place than
we thought it was. This is on the prin-
ciple of averaging her population. A
correspondent of the Herald, who signs
himself Indignant" claims that some
men in that town, who demand and receive
the courtesies of the best society, went in
open daylight to the little sick bedroom
of woman dying with consumption, and
drank the whisky that her physician had
ordered her to take to urge on her flag
cling life's blood. The correspondent
thinks that the fact that they went
thither with her drunken, besotted hus-
band does not detract from the indecent
and inhuman act!

RELA71vE HARDNESS OF WOODS.


Out here, all trees are pretty
Some, however, have little value
beyond their beauty. Soft-wood
trees grow faster than those Of hard
wood. But people generally will be
interested in seeing this list of hard
wood trees, nearly, or quite, all Of
which can be grown in western
Kansas.
The relative hardness of woods is
calculated by the hickory, which is
the toughest. Estimating this at

SENATOR PLUMB has remembered us

SENATOR PLUMB has remembered Us
with copy of his II of January speech
on the Production Of Sugar. Like his
senate speeches in general. this one shows
keen and enthusiastic conception OF the
industrial questions of the hour. He
scores Louisiana for having developed
nothing new in sugar making appliances
during the past ten years, and this in
spite of the fact that their sugar has been
protected by duty OF over one hundred
per cent. The senator, OF course, holds
ND to view central and western Kansas,
showing that sorghum fourishes here,
and contains larger proportion of sac
charine matter than that grown in lower
attitudes.
