TO THE PRESS.

An Editor who Thinks That tho News
papers Ought to Do Right.
Gentlemen of the press, we wish q
friendly word with you. You have seen
glowing statements of the wealth and
prosperity Of this nation. Long columns
of figures have shown us that as nation
we have outstripped the nations of the
world in the accumulation of wealth.
But you know the masses of our people
are not prosperous. You know agricult-
ure is on the verge of ruin, that prod
ucts are selling at less than cost and that
the hand of general industry is paralyzed.
You know that the cry of hard times
that we would gladly stif1e through our
pride of home is more than an empty
cry-that it is terrible reality. Your
own business, your own subscription
list would teach you this if your obser-
walton did not.
The great wealth and prosperity rep
resented in the long columns of figures
of which we have spoken is floating
upon the surface of the sea Of our ma
tional life, while beneath thai is power
ty, deplorable and unnecessary. As
part of the great masses and their inter-
mediate representative, what is your
duty2 You would be glad if the people
were more prosperous; you would be
glad to see agriculture in a fourishing
condition; you would be glad to see the
country developed.
Now what is in the way of our all
joining in support of relief measures?
You do not want silver demonetized,
you want free coinage and so do your
readers. Why not join in one emphatic
demand for free coinage? Do your party
leaders oppose it? Who are your party
leaders, and who makes them such? Are
you afraid of their disapproval? Rather
make them afraid of your disapproval
and the peoples. The press ought to re-
feet the sentiment of the people and
control rather than be controlled.
And there is the Stanford farm loan
bill. What do you think of that meas
ure? Have you studied its provisions
and the principle on which it is founded?
We think you are bound to admit that
the provisions are fair and safe and the
principles just. What, then, is in the
way of your joining us in the demand
for it's adoptionp 1t will increase our
circulation and it will increase it where
most needed. 1t will add prosperity to
your business, to ours and to everybody
Use. Must party stand in the way Of
your advocacy of it? If it is right and
lust, and a needed measure, let us
demand it. There is great re-
possibility resting upon the press

However, as there was plenty Of good

to remain the night there, and put all
hands to pulling down poles and charred
timbers. saving them on the top of the
bank and throwing them down the cliff,

the Florida. This work by freight
went on gayly enough well into the
night, the men chatting each other and
occasionally saying in half-play, half
earnest: ''What will we do II the Luz

Gradually, work being finished and

The Longevity Of Rlras.

The swan is the longest-lived bird
and 1t is asserted that 1t has reached
the age Of 100 years. Knauer, in his
work entitled "Naturhistoriker," states
that he has seen falcon that was 162
years old. The following examples are
cited as to the longevity Of the eagle
and vulture: A sea eagle captured in
IT'S and already several years Of age,
died 1O4 years afterward, in 1919;
white-headed vulture, captured in 17O6.
died in 1926 in one of the aviaries Of
Schoenbrunn Castle, near Vienna,
where it had passed 11s years in captiv-
ity. Paroquets and ravens reach an age
Of over 100 years. The life of sea and
marsh birds sometimes equals that of
several human generations. Like many
other birds, magpies live to be very old
in o state Of freedom, but do not reach
over 20 or % years in captivity. The
nightingale lives but 10 years in cap
tivity and the blackbird Is. Canary
birds reach an age of from 12 to Is
years in the cage, but those flying &C
liberty in their native islands reach ,
much more advanced age.

Popono, and received from him two fine
tusks of ivory as presents. All night
long our men were chatting with the
natives round the fires on shore.
The district of which Popono was only
one village was called Masan Kuso, and
extended about eight miles higher up to
the junction of the Malinga and Lopori
rivers, which together form the Lulungu,
the great tributary Of the Congo we had
been traversing for the last four days.
Next day we steamed higher up to the
topmost village Of the district, situated
in face Of the Lopori which, coming
from the north and flowing through
countries destitute Of ivory, and only
supplying enormous numbers Of slaves
to the raiding canoes Of this very Masan
Kuso district, here joins the still broader
Malinga by mouth about four hundred
to five hundred yards vide.
The natives here were very friendly,
and we had to undergo the ceremonial Of
exchanging blood and becoming 'kin-
dred of one blood" with several chiefs OF
the community, who expressed their ap-
probation Of their new-found relations
by offering us goats, fowls and two or
three beautiful tusks of ivory, for all
Of which we gave suitable presents in
return, consisting of several fathoms Of
red cloth, or American sheeting, or
cheap Manchester cottons, few spoon
fuls of white and blue beads, mirror or
two. tin plate, cup and spoon, and one
or two odds and ends which cheer the
heart of the African in his rude sim
plicity.
Learning at Masan Kuso that great
inland tribe Of cannibals known IS the
Lufembi had been rsvaging the banks
Of the Malinga and had destroyed every
village up to the great Balolo town Of
MaInga from which the river takes Its
name), we determined to lay in as large
q stock Of fowls, goats and other food as
possible, since we could not hope 70
reach Malinga town before three days.
On the second morning after our ar-
rival we started from Masan Kuso up the
Malinga and we're soon TAR from any

trousers, socks and coat from the table
ut the head of my bed where / had laid
them on going to rest, so that was spared
the difficulty ! usually experienced on
getting up Of endeavoring to get into
my clothes unperceived by native
eyes, until I had been able to arouse
Glave in the cabin by my cries, who
soon appeared on the scene with fresh
articles Of attire and enabled me to arise
clothed and in my right mind, but
breathing awful vengeance against the
thief II Ishould discover him. The miss
ing garments never turned up, and was
forced to quit Bolombo 1.-THE name Of
this dishonest village), hoping that on
the return journey down river again the
thief might be revealed, or that at least
the clothes and the effort to put them
on properly might work the physical
ruin Of the wretch who had stolen
them.
From Bolombo we continued our Jour
ney past long stretches Of thick forest,
occasionally relieved by open spaces
and steep red-earthed bluffs topping
which extended vivid green patches Of
banana and plantain leaves, where
some small village nestled amid the
deep groves of those trees.
Although judged we must now have
been from eighty to one hundred miles
from the mouth Of the Lulungu the
river continued of the same breadth,
averaging mile wherever we could see
its entire surface from shore to shore,
unbroken by islands.
Late on the afternoon of the second
day, after quitting Bolombo-at point
about one hundred and ten miles from
the Congo-we came upon the first Of a
long line of villages, extending up the
left bank as far as the eye could see,
GROWING q bluff about fifty feet
high and so steep that rope ladders, or
wooden steps fixed into the hard, red
clay of the bank. served to communicate
between the village and the waters edge.
Large canoes were lying hauled up
partly out Of the water at the foot Of the
bluff, or, manned by excited crowds,
darted out from the shore and
circled round us as we drew in to the
beach. Voices from under the great
trees that lowered over the streets of
houses lining the top OF the bank called
out to us to approach, and answered us
that there were tons Of ivory for sais
here. Landing by freight we made
blood-brothers on the bank, amid a
crowd of savages, with the old chief OF
this village, whose name we learned was
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1890-03-29

which we had no desire to dove
babe farewell to the good-tempered
crowd and continued our journey up
river.
We passed some two hours later the
large district of Lulungu-consisting of
several villages on the mainland and on
an island in mid-stream-whose inhab-
itants regarded us either in speeches.
establishment, or greeted us with loud
cries to land, as We steamed past the
long line of their villages. Elenge
Mimic, our guide, informed us that we
should find these keen ivory traders
more inclined to sell to us on our re-
turn from the upper waters Of the river
than on our present journey, so we de-
termined to push ahead as rapidly as
possible, only stopping where it was
necessary to obtain fire-wood, or to pur-
chase food for ourselves and crew.
A heavy tornado of wind and rain
forced us to halt early alongside the
deep impenetrable forest Of the left
bank, on the edge of which we put our
crew to saving up dry trees and dead
wood for next days firing.
Next morning soon after starting we
again came on canoes dsrting about
ahead Of US, and speedily were steam
ing through channel between an
island entirely covered with native
houses and the north or right bank-on
which were collections of huts among
immense grove Of plantains separated
from one another by stretches OF grassy
plain in some places extending quite
mile inland before the ever-encircling
belt of forest was reached.
This island-village and the north
bank district was called Bonginda, but
we passed it without stopping-pursued
by feet of friendly canoes Offering
very bad-smelling small fish for sale.
They continued the chase until we had
entered another district, that of Wam-
bala, Elenge Mimic informed us, whose
Inhabitants set up q great cry at our
