The international arbitration resolution
was the action which will make the
greatest stir In the world at large. 1t
will eventuate, think, In the disarm-
ment of Europe-nOt at once, perhaps,
but in the fullnes of time. No people on
the face of the earth can long con-
tinue to pay for the maintenance OF such
standing armies as are camped IN
Europe. The only way to relieve them
selves of the burden IS to accept peace as
the normal condition of mankind and
agree to abide in peace. We have been
long enough at peace on the American
continent without keeping up standing
armies to realize what it is TO feel that
peace is perpetual But European peo-
pies are beginning 10 see the same thing

ANOTHER EMERGENCY.

1t viii be remembered that Governor
Thayer of Nebraska exerted himself to
the utmost in behalf of the farmers of
that state in the matter of securing
lower rates Of freight on corn while the
market price of that product was SO low.
Not content with the Indifferent results
of that undertaking, and realizing that
the farmer is still placed at a disadvant-
age when he reaches the market with
his crops, by reason of the tricks of trade
in which the Spectator IN farm products
is 50 expert, the governor recently adj
dressed letter to Senator Paddock urg-
ing the Importance Of corn inspection by
the government. The letter is addressed
to Senator Paddock because he is chair
man Of the committee on agriculture.
The governor says: "There is no ques-
ton in nv mind but that the farmers of
Nebraska have been defrauded OF hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars within the
last few years by the wrongful classified
ton Of corn at Chicago and other great
corn centers."
There are three grades of corn-two,
three and four. The governor contends
that nearly all Nebraska corn should be
classified as No 2, whereas by a system
Of false grading the elevators degrade it
to three and four and rob the corn
raiser without mercy. As to govern
ment inspection the governor says: "If
doubt exists as to the right of the govern
ment to interfere, answer, the govern
ment appoints gaugers to inspect
whiskys, and grade them; the depart
ment Of agriculture appoints cattle in
spectors at different points; congress
legislates to prevent the adulteration Of
lard; it regulates the manufacture Of
oleomargarine; it is seeking to overturn
by legislation the monstrous evil of gam
bling in food products. May it not legis-
late to prevent frauds in the grading of
corn =
The governor makes a good case in
favor of inspection of the corn product
but why not extend it to wheat and
other grain? The wicked insinuation of
his enemies that he is making another
bid for a third term doesn't cut any
figure SO long as the suggestion is all
right in itself.

Colonel TomIinson, who was in Wichita
the other day, reports the Peerless Prin-

there is not on empty business house in
the city. This is indeed good news. Here

If we ever really did think it impossi-
BILE for Topeka man to tell the truth
about Wichita, it is evident from the
above that we were wrong. Here is not
only Topeka man who tells the truth
about Us, but that man is a Democratic
editor. 1t is a very easy matter, in fact
it IS an every day occurrence, for us to
mix up Wichita with the truth, but Just

Democrat at that. We sometimes are

The department of agriculture has eau
toned the people of Kansas against at
tempting TO make sugar west OF Medicine
Lodge and north of Wichita. There is
now a marked coolneSs between the farm
ers in this section and your Uncle Jerry
Ashland Journal
Haven't heard Of any change of esti-
mate of or demeanor towards Uncle
Jerry on the part Of the farmers of any
part of the sugar district of Kansas on
account of the incident referred TO. Fact
Is, the Kansas farmers who have had ex-
perience in producing sugar bearing
crops know that they know more about
that matter, practically, than the gov
ernmeut's overseer at Washington citv.
As for his isothermal line. that theory
was knocked into circumstance by the
extraction Of a good quantity and fine
quality of sugar from Ness county syrup
by the Conway Springs sugar mill a
short time ago. Uncle Jerry ought To
come out TO Kansas and learn something
about sugar making.

1t Is now given out-fTom London, of
course-that the Empress Frederick is
the cause of BiSmarck's dismissal from
the German chancellorship. As the story
goes the mutual dislike for each other
dates back to the beginning of the en-
press reign in the imperial household at
Berlin: that Bismarck at once discovered
that she was a strongwilled woman and
eXerted a controlling influence over her
husband. the emperor. This continued
during his lifetime. and. although the
now depoSed prince could not wholly de
stroy her influence he was successful in
maintaining his own position and poten-
cy in shaping the affairs of the nation
until the vengeful woman got the ear of
her erstwhila recalcirant son. the present
emperor, when the object Of her life
work was soon accomplished. The in
cident Is a forceful Illustration of the
