Many of our farmers, says the New
ton Republican, are bringing in their
cocoons for shipment. Although the
silk season has just begun enough is
known to enable us to say that the
crop this year will be 25 per cent. larger
than that of last year and the quality
finer than ever. In fact there has
never been skip or a break in the
business in the Newton silk dis
trict. The silk worm in this region is
perfectly free from disease, which can
scarcely be said Of any other silk rails
ing locality in the world. People call
France the land of the vine and of the
silk worm, but in that country both the
grape and the cocoon have almost been
destroyed in localities, while both are
perfectly healthy here. Kansas hat is
now stuck so full of feathers that she
looks like the grand marshal on the
Fourth of july but you can just put
in another big plume and call it silk.

A Saturday nights dispatch from
Larned to the Topeka Capital said:
"Surf bathing was inaugurated at the
mineral well lake tonight by jolly
crowd of bathers and boaters." The
very gods must stand aghast at the i'm
agination displayed by the Larned
correspondent. When a man can call
sloshing around in a mud-hole surf
bathing" he is too talented for common
every day newspaper work.

whole problem to their entire SAUSAGE
ton. They tell the republican farmer
that the only way to accomplish legis-
lation for the farmer is to renounce all
former political party associations and
form a new political party, call it the
peoples Party" in which the demo
Gratis and the union labor politicians
shall have majority, and this new
combination will be able to bring about
just such legislation as the farmers
want.
Just why the republican members OF
the alliance should hope to accomplish
more in new organization in which
they are but a minority than they could
accomplish in the republican party OF
which, so far as Kansas is concerned
they constitute an overwhelming ma
jority and which they absolutely con-
troll, neither the democrats nor the
union labor politicians undertake to ex-
plain. The position taken by these
third party alliance men is very anal
ogous to the position taken and as
sumed by the third party prohibition
lists of this state. The republican
party is composed of an overwhelming
majority Of those who believe in our
prohibitory law, yet these third party
men have for years gone off and voted
and acted by themselves, and the only
result of their deserving their friends
has been the defeat of some good pro-
hibition republicans and the election of
few whisky democrats.
Three-fOurths of the republican
party of Kansas are actual farmers;
the entire republican party of Kansas
is directly interested in the prosperity
of the farmers; no man can be elected
to any office in the state who does not
get a majority of the farmers votes.
The republican farmers are absolute
masters of the situation. They can
dictate the policy and name the can
didates in every convention in the state
if they so desire. Should the alliance
members form the third party they
could only hope to elect ticket die
tated by the democratic party, a party
which never had an interest in common
with the farmer and whose majOrities
are found in the cities and towns of
the country and by the union labor
men whose wild fanaticism has been
the laughing stock of the American
people for the past three or four years.
While if the republican farmers remain
in that party of which they con-
stitute such a large majority, and
which they can and do absolutely con-
troll, they can select just such repub-
licans as will carry out their wishes,
and can see that they are elected. And
when the republican farmers of Kansas
send a man to Topeka or Washington
with the frmness and resolution to
carry out the wishes and desires of the
farmers, that man will WELD a thou
sand fold more influence in shaping
legislation than would any man or half
dozen men sent up by a combination of
men without any political party with
which to affiliate. The republican
farmers of Kansas can much more
safely entrust their interests in the
hands of their republican associates
than to their heretofore inveterate pO-
litical enemies of the democratic and
union labor parties.

Every true American must at times
have been panied by the base uses to
which the national flag has been put.
Congress has at last taken hold of the
nuisance. The judiciary committee of
the house has reported favorably a bill
providing for fining and imprisoning
any person who shall use the national
flag, either by printing, painting or
afixing on said flag, or otherwise at
taching to the same any advertisement
for public display, or private gain.
The report accompanying the bill says
the flag sis a reminder of American
fortitude, courage and heroism, and of
the suffering and sacrifices on land
and sea which have been endured for
its preservation and for the pres
ervation of the country it rep
resents. 1t is the shield and
protection of the citizen at home
and abroad, and should be honored and
reverenced by every American who is a
lover of his country. 1t should be held
a thing sacred; and to deface, disfgure
or to prostitute it to the purpose of ad-
vertising should be held to be a crime
against the nation and be punished as
SUCH"

Sixth district politics seem to be in

BILE shape. The bitter fight which pre-
coded the nomination of McNall left
behind it seeds of discord which are
springing up in rank political weeds.
There are evidences all over the dis
trict of dissatisfaction in the republi-
can forces and here and there is an
actual outbreak. Then the farmers
alliance has a candidate in the field
which considerably complexities mat
tiers. The Sixth district republicans
will make a mistake if they go back on
Webb McNall. No man in the district
is more worthy their support or will do
the district greater honor in the halls
of congress. He has graduated in
politics without a stain attaching to
his name and he deserves and should
have triumphant election.

Imagine yourself on a ship at anchor looking west or straight in front ol you. There Is a broad expanse of sea Q little to your right hand, behind you will be the rugged coast, and to your left the long, narrow ford between the islands and the mainland that the steamer has just traversed. You watch the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the islands and the coasts look like a rich dark purple, and the shadows cast by IlIe ships mast. etc, grow longer and longer. After bit, when the sun has sunk apparently twelve ieeI frDm the horizon, Il stops and seems to remain stationary for about twenty minutes, l, then the very sea gulls hide away. while the air all of a sudden strikes chilly.
