SOL MILLER AND HIS CHIEF.

'The Weekly Kansas Chief" better
known now as ''SoI AIiller'S Chief" but
formerly as the white Cloud Chief" is
an ideal county paper. As a country
weekly it is without peer in Kansas, or
in any other state so far as our knOwl-
edge goes. In its mechanical makeup,
in its literary excellence, as also in its
unfailing and unvarying influence with
its readers, is this true. The Chief
is a conspicuous verifcation Of the i'm
pOrtance or value of the personality of a
newspaper. The Chief has been as
much of Sol Miller for third of a cen
fury as the Tribune was of Greeley,
the Herald of Bennett or the
Sun of Dana. There have been
few successes in the newspaper
world in the absence Of such personality.
The more intensely a paper reflects the
personality, the individuality, Of its ed
itor. the greater the attachment of its
readers for it, the greater its influence
with them, the greater its success as a
newspaper This truth is denied and ig-
nored by many wou.d-be influential jour
mails of later times. but the fact remains
that there Is all the difference of influ-
ence and weight that there is between a
man and a mere machine. One Is the
ego, the other the vehicle of many hands.
For twenty-seven years The Chief" has
come to us. without a skip, and for
twenty-seven years Sol Miller has talked
to us. weekly, and not the Chief, not the
newspaper, compiled and printed in his
Office. We have little use for
the newspaper void Of this per-
sonaI spirit, therefore our love for
the Chief. There is all the difference of
impression that there would be in
sermon falling from the fervid lips of an
earnest and inspired speaker and the
same sermon got off automatically from
a pulpit by a graphophone or by some
other mechanical arrangement.
So here's to the individuality of Sol
Miller who has in season an out, for a
third of a century, consistently main
tanned personality that has commanded
the admiration of his friends and proved
the dread of his foes; and here's. also.
to his Chief. which in starting on Its
thirty-fourth year dons an entire new
dress and which we hope may continue
to come TIL the end.

ABOUT AMERICAN CHEESE.

In the corridor of the Grand Central
hotel. few days ago, was introduced
to Mr.. Frederick 4. GoOdiffe, of Leices-
ter, England. says a writer in the New
York Star. The gentleman is the junior
member of one of the largest cheese and
provision houses in her majesty's king
dom. He told me that he made frequent
visits to this country for the purpose OF
watching the cheese market and of max
ing purchases.
Strange as it may seem, Mr. Good
life said 10 me, lit Is nevertheless a fact,
that there are thousands of cheese eat
ers in the United Kingdom vino prefer
the American product 10 our own. Ii is
also fact that there Is now great diff
Guilty for the ordinary buyer to tell the
American cheese from the English. IL
is a marvel to me how wonderfully de-
veiOped the faculty of imitation Is among
your manufacturers. We have. for IN
stance. in England a cheese that is
known a. St!lton, as 1t was first made IN
the town of that name. 1t Is white very
rich. and Is not supposed TO be eaten till
it Is quite mellow. Your cheese
makers are now sending over 20
England an article almost exactly
like our Stilton- I can not say
the imitation Is as good a. the original
as it lacks III richness. but still the fact
that you export Il shows the determine
ton Of Americans 10 supply everything
or which there Is q demand. When the
American output first began to reach
England all the cheese exported was
white IN color There IS a prejudice Ia
the old country in favor Of colOred cheese,
and no sooner was this discovered than
your makers began sending Us the red
cheese. In the cheaper grades OF this
kind English makers cannot compete
with those Of this country. The supply
being imported into England Is steadily
and greatly increasing. The fact i. we can
not produce cheese at home 70 meet this
demand and we are glad 10 fall back
upon the products Of Brother Jonathan.
50 great IS the traffic in cheese between
the two countries that our firm, and
others largely engaged IN the provision
business have agents resident IN America
10 make purchases.

THE EARTH IS DRYING UP.

st. Louis Republic.
To the inundated residents of the states
| of the lower Mississippi it Will no doubt,
seem like rankest folly to attempt to
prove that our water supply Is becoming
! less and less year by year. There is, how
ever. evidence that the amount of water
on the surface of the earth has been
! steadily diminishing for many thousands
| of years. No one doubts that there was
a time when the Cspian sea cOmmuni-
Gated with the Black sea, and when the
! Mediterranean covered the greater part
of the desert of Sahara. In fact, geOlo-
| gists tell us that at one time the whole
| eaTth's surface was covered by water
many fathoms in depth.
! All rivers and small streams are Wis
! IDLY smaller than they were TWENTY-FIVE
years ago. Country brooks, in which
men now living We're accustomed to fish
and battle in their boyhood, have. in
many cases, totally disappeared in conse-
QuenCe of the failUre of springs and
rams which once fed them. The level of
the great lakes Is falling year by year.
/ There are many piers on the shores of
lakeside cities which vessels once APP
preached with ease. but which now reach
the waters edge. Harbor surveyors will
/ tell YOU that harbOrs are shallOwer than
they were even a decade ago. This IS
not due to the gradual deposit Of earth
brought down by rivers. as some may
suppose, nor to the refuse from city
sewers. Tho barbor Of Toronto has
almost ceased to be of use. despite the
fact that it has been dredged out to the
[ permanent bottom rock.
All the dredging that can be done in
New York harbor has failed to perma-
nently deepen it. The growing shallow
ness of the Hudson river is noticeable
and. like the outlet TO Lake Champlain,
which was once navigated by Indian
canoes at all seasons, the upper Hudson
Is almost bare of water during the sum
mer. The Des Moines river, in Iowa.
! once navigated 10 the mouth Of Raccoon
Fork, the present site Of the city Of Dies
Moines, will now hardly float fisher
mans rowboat: the steamboat has not
plowed its bosom for over a quarter of a
/ century. In all parts of the world is the
same decrease in the waters Of rivers and
lakes.
If this state Of affairs continues until
100000 a. D.. the water question will
be Of more interest than that OF prohibit
. ton.
