The Immigration Bureau.

At the recent convention of the State
I immigration association at Wichita the
resolutions given below having reference
to immigration were adopted. They will
serve to give an idea of the purposes Of
the association. They are as follows.
Be it resolved, That proper and judi
cious method of advertising is one OF the
first and most important means of accom-
plishing the objects of this movement,
and that the success attending the meth
DDS used In other states is worthy of con-
sideration and permit adoption here with
such changes and improvements as the
wisdom of the convention may seem best
That it is the Judgment of this conven-
ton that every county in the State have
an auxiliary organization and that EACH
of said organizations secure from one of
their county papers at least twice a
month ZOO copies of said paper whose
entire issue shall be devoted to such
matter as Will be an exposition In fact
and intended to stimulate and bring peo-
pie to Kansas, and that said 1000 copies
shall be furnished the Kansas Immigra-
ton Bureau for distribution.
That the delegates of any county in
the state adjacent to any counties who
are not organized in this work, be and
are hereby constituted a delegation to
visit such unorganized counties when SO
informed by the secretary of the bureau,
and use all proper means to organize
them into an auxiliary of this movement
under all the rules and conditions OF
other counties.
That each delegation here assembled
as soon as they return home after the
close of this convention petition one of
their county papers TO devote one issue
aside from advertising and other matter
that cannot be left OUT to the purpose OF
immigration and that few hundred cop
les be forwarded to the Kansas Immigra-
ton bureau, and
Resolved, That said delegates at once
establish permanent auxiliaries with a
board of directors and executive officers
in manner as may be judged best by
them.
That the board of directors through
the executive committee ask the railroads
for rate of fair the round trip, or one
half fare the single trip. Also that pro-
portionate low rate on household goods
and other personal effects usually ship
ped in by immigrants.

The Young Men Go West
An eastern contempary asks

An eastern contempary asks the
question: "Where do the young
men go?" If the people of the east
would stop and recall who, from
their respective communities leave
the old home to aid in adding new
stars to the old flag; if they could
but see who are the actual settlers
of the vast, treeless plains, the ques-
ton would no sooner present itself
than the answer would be found.
The great majority of the actual
settlers of the West are the young
men who dared to face and endure
the trials and sufferings incident to
establishing new states.
Our ranchmen, mechanics, teach
ers, merchants, professional men
and men of all classes, are composed
of the young, progressive element
of our country. They are establish
ing for themselves homes, business,
cities and states.
Their motto is ever Onward"
and laggards are relegated to the
rear and receive no sympathy from
this pushing, progressive, energetic
army of Industrious workers They
have taken the plains that our faith
ers told US was, and ever would be,
a desert and builded thereon their
city of refuge.
The valleys are crowded with corn,
the hill are adorned with rich verdi
ure and pastured by herds whose
numbers are as the leaves on the
trees.
Nothing short Of this push and
enterprise, this determination to sue
coed, which is the component part
of the young man Of American birth
could have produced the wonderful
changes that have occurred all over
this vast western empire in less than
a decade.
If you want to know where your
young men 60, come west. You
will find them in congress, on the
farms. behind the counter, in fact in
all the places of trust and honest la
Dor, and then you will better under
stand the rapid development of the
country.
The young men and the best men
come west.

INTELLECTUALLY VS. Fertility.

The New York SIM says that badness
goes with intellectually and that when
women have to do as much thinking as
men, they too will grow bald.
The theory is entirely fallacious.
The growth and rankness Of verdi
ure is due to the richness and fertil-
ity of the soil. This is an infallible
rule and applies with the same force
to the growth of hair as it does to
the growth of vegetables. In other
words a paucity of hair is a sure in
dication of the lack of chemical in
gradients, or brain food, sufficient to
produce both hair and brains.
Married men can, sometimes, assign
another reason for badness, but as
the cause is not general, we need not
refer to it at this time. We might
as well add here, by way of pareu-
thesis, that we have a luxuriant
growth Of hair.

The Herd Law AGAIN.
come west

Editors Western Kansas World:
Having read the articles on the
Herd Law, of which quite a num-
Der have been written, | will ask
the people of Trego county of what
benefit would it be to the home
steader and Trego county to dis
pense with the herd law? Surely
none. If the herd law isn't a bene-
fit to the poor Lomesteader, at least,
surely free range will avail them
nothing.
Stock raising has been tried in
Trego county for the last ten years
and has proven to be Improbable to
those who have tried it.
Now the farmers have commenc-
ed the growing of small grain and
they believe it to be the most prof.
table of all crops, and now are they
to be driven away and a lot of
scrubby cattle take their places and
tramp around over this county as
they once did?
Gentlemen, protect the farmers
and the farmers will protect the
county. If this county is to be mo-
nopolized by lot of stock-men by
passing a free range law, l would
say let it come before | turn over
any more prairie.
If stock are so profitable in Trego
county, we say herd them or fence
pastures.
The free range law viii not only
compel the homesteaders to fence
the land which he needs for farming
but what will we do with the timber
claims? There are quite a number
of timber claims in the county
that would certainly have to be
fenced.
We have tried the free range law
where farmers were able to fence
and from experience know that it
causes more litigation and agitation
than any other law we ever had.
lie men are able to have cattle
they ought to be able to take care
of them and not want the home
steader to fence them a pasture.
We would say to the stock-men,
cattle given the proper care can be
raised with more profit than those
turned out on the range to take
care of themselves.
Plant five acres of sorghum, two
acres of corn and you will be sup
piled with feed for the winter. We
observe that considerable Of such
farming has been done for ten years.
If we want this county to make any.
thing we must all go to work, turn

over the sod, raise enough stock for
our own use and not condemn the
country for all it is worth.
We know what the county has
been and also what it is at the pres
ent time. The future will be just
what we makeit, but if we have free
range the poor people will say, fare
well to Trego county," and those
that have been waiting to see what
the country would make" will not
be disappointed.
We say let US have the herd law
and everybody roll at the wheel and
we will get there bye and bye.

Distress in the Far Northwest.

Though the newspapers OF the far
northwest Loyalty keep up their boastings
of unexampled prosperity, it is easy to
read between the lines and find ample
evidence that the much doomed towns of
Washington and Oregon no longer afford
golden opportunities to the man with no
capital save energy and frugality. Bad
crops and resultant distress among the
farmers are reported from all the states
along the northwest boundary, and the
penury Of the farmers has had its natur-
al and inevitable result upon the bust
ness of the towns. The streets of Seattle
and TacOma are crowded with men seek

Elk Gov. CLICK is now posing in
the role of an honest farmer, resub-
missionist and reformer. Click
wants to 90 the Legislature and is
politician and demagogue enough to
favor all the annexes and side issues
that are likely to be of assistance to
him in the way of securing votes.
Click is a fine specimen indeed to
set himself up as paragon OF po-
litical honesty and assume to dictate
to farmers what they should do.
During Cleveland's administration
Click was the principal dispenser of
of Democratic patronage in Kansas
and took advantage of his influence
to further his own schemes in every
possible manner. The people of
western Kansas know something of
his town lot speculations in this
community. Some of them remem-
Der with grief that he could not or
did not remove U. S. land Offices
with the ease and facility that his
friends and partners in these deals
predicted. Click is a politician and
speculator and these pursuits are en-
tirely at variance with his claims as
a reformer.

Truer words were never uttered,
and they apply with double force to
the newspapers of western Kansas.
Business men feel that they must
support all alike, no difference how
great the burden, and receive no
more benefit than from one cover
ing the entire territory. The papers
themselves are not what they
should be and reflect upon their town
or community because of the want
of patronage and consequent inabil-
ity to furnish creditable publica-
ton. There seems to be an over
production, in western Kansas, not
only of statesmen and politicians
but Of organs, commonly. though
enormously, designated newspapers.

A Dangerous Tendency IN Modern
Education Which Should
Re Checked

There is at present a tendency to un-
natural mental development in children.
The whole scheme of the public school
system is adopted to the extraordinary in
stead Of the ordinary intelligence. Every
possible means is resorted to by which
the slow mind may be unnaturally quick
ened, while the abnormally bright are
pushed forward like horses spurred
along a race course.
The pupils of the public schools are in
state of continual nervous apprehension,
fearful lest their per cent. may fall below
the required standard, or that they may
fail to pass the dreaded examination.
They have become burdened with cares
that should not be imposed upon them,
and the lightheartedness and naturalness
of untrammeled childhood are likely to
become mere traditions. Preternaturally
aged girls and boys in spectacles are now
so common that they cease to attract no.
tice, and reputable physicians testify that
nervous disorders among the young are
ominously on the increase.
It is due to the pernicious examining of
which they are the helpless victims and
the unnatural hurry and worry that are
part of the modern school regimen.
Precocious children, as general thing,
are insuferable little prigs. They have
not the winsomeness and innocence Of
childhood, nor the wisdom that comes
only with years and experience. Instead
of making out courses of reading, offering
inducements and rewards for supernat-
ural achievements, parents would much
better lock the bookcases and take the
text books away from such children, and
turn them out, fguratively speaking, like
animals to Craze. The mind will take
care of itself and keep on growing; but
the body suffers from lack of experience,
and disordered nerves and digestion will
handicap. the genius in later years.

The senate committee on public lands
has considered the bill denoting the Fit
Hays military reservation to the state of
Kansas for soldiers home, and amended
it so as to denote only two and half sec
tons of land, with buildings on the res
ervation, to be selected by the governor
of Kansas. The land thus denoted is
only loaned to the state according to the
custom in such cases, but so long as the
state maintains soldiers home thereon
the state shall have use of it for that pur-
pose. The fee remains in the United
States, and unless the state of Kansas
sh all avail itself of this donation and es-
tablish a soldiers home inside of two
years, the land reverts to the United
States.

An important memorial to congress

that there have been frauds practiced but

er construction of the law; that the party
entering may understand that the gov
eminent desires that he shall grow trees
and that the object of the act shall not be
fulfilled until every requirement is COM
piled with. They assert there is hardly
any section on the land east of the Rocky
mo untains on which timber cannot be
successfully grown without irrigation.

ing party composed OF A Rogy OF
Princeton, H., and Martin Myers and
Thomas Mckinney of this city have
had tragical experience in the wilds
of the northwest near the little Ham
let known as Metropolitan. The trio
enjoyed themselves hugely in the pic
turesque intricacies OF the region until
Friday, when Myers and Rogy left Me-
kinney alone in camp. where he was
to prepare a quantity Of game for the
next meal. Mckinney became lonely
before his comrades returned. and to
while away the time started, as he
supposed, on II short exploring expe-
dition into the brush. He neglected
to keep his bearings, and on attempts
ing to return found himself bewildered
and at II loss to proceed. The lost hunt
CT was was without weapons or food,
and the bitter cold night added to
his Indebtedness. Meyers and Rogy
in the meantime reached the dc.
serted camp, and in an effectual search
for their missing companion set out for
Metropolitan. The two hunters prompt

in offering large reward for the dis
covery of the lost man. The villagers
turned out almost to a man. but for

was almost ready to abandon the quest,
when they stumbled upon Mckinney.

and hunger, was still feebly keeping
up the struggle for existence, pulling
