Irrigation tho Only Means Promising

Prof. Frank ii. Snow, OF the Kansas
State University, said several years ago:
But tho fact that thousands Of now
comers, from ignorance OF tho climate,
have attempted to Introduce ordinary
agricultural operations upon tho So
called plains. and havo disastrously
tailed In tho attempt, has placed an un-
deserved stigma upon the good namo OF
Kansas In many far-distant communi-
tics, and has undoubtedly somewhat re-
tarded immigration during tho past few
yoars. 1t Is timo for tho general recog-
milton OF tho fact that, except in tho OK
ccedingly limited area whero irrigation
Is possible, tho western third OF Kansas
Is beyond tho limit OF successful agri-
culture" Tho sovero seasons OF drought
which have occurred since the above
conservative statement was written
show the whole truth OF tho matter to
bo that tho westward advancing limo of

George L. Converse, of Ohio, an old
time Democrat, WHO believes in wool
first and Democracy afterwards, has de-
clared in favor of Representative Nc
Kinley for congress. This is as 1t
should be. Let the people eschew party
and take rides according to their views
on nigh protection. Perhaps. however,
Mr.. Converse nay have concluded that
he would assist in giving Mckinley
another chance in congress because the
Democratic Legislature of Ohio have at
tempted to keep him out OF the National
legislature by an outrageous gerry
mander. The chairman Of the com
mites on WAYS and means will be like

They are now gorging on the fat of the
land, and in some place. there is turmoil
and trouble around the flesh pots. just
now Cincinnati is sad example of
trouble among the "boodlers" The
gang have fallen out, and Louis
Reemelin, q member Of the Democratic
board of public improvements, has been
requested to resign. II has been said
that he Is not honest, but that will not
hurt Reemeiin. II will make him
friends among the Cincinnati gangsters,
and they will stick the closer to him
A boodler to be Of coed standing in Gin
cinnati must have some soandalous at
tachmente. Reemelin Is blessed with
two, and hence is entitled to better
picking than the board Of improve
ments, but that will suffice until some
thing better comes along. No doubt if
the yillainies of the gang in Cincinnati
were uneaIthed, there would be a very
lively passenger travel nor,hward and
toward the swanps IN the alleged
search Of health. Reemelin is only a
fair sample Of the Cincinnati Demo
cratic gangsters and boodlers He is no
worse than Others of the gang, and the
condition IN Cincinnati Is only what
could have been expected, only this AID
nothing more. The incident may, how
ever, serve as an sye-opener 10 some
persons who We're nicer than they we're

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Activity is not always energy.
Pardon does not heal the wound.
Selfshness is a very unpopular vice.
The present is the golden moment of
life.
Misery is everywhere, and so is happi-
ness.
Life is narrow road full of eneum-
brances.
The first rule of speaking well is to
think well.
Health is too costly blessing to be
fooled away.
Tell of your own faults rather than
those of others.
4 shot that hits is better than broad
side that misses.
1t is difficult to free fools from the
chains they revere.
The way to be deceived is to believe
yourself wiser than Others.
Let US learn upon earth those things
which can call US to heaven.
The worst of all knaves are those who
can mimic their former honesty.
There are two sorts of ruins; one is
the work of time, the other of men.
A whole heaven is contained in drop
of dew, whole soul within a tear.
1t is the hardest thing in the world to
be good thinker without being good
self-examiner.
To correct the faults of man, we ad
dress the head;to correct those of woman,
we address the heart.
1t is with a fine genius as with a fine
fashion-all those are displeased with it
who are not able to follow it.
Be yourself-ape no greatness; be will
ing to pass for what you are. \ good
farthing is better than bad sovereign.

would prevail to an alarming extent, as
nothing else could emanate from the

the bill would be no small one. 1t was
also foretold from the stump and by
the press what the nature of these
ra.calities would be, Notwithstanding
all the warning. the Democracy were

beginning to come in.
