WHAT difference it makes to law
yer from which side he looks at case!
In trial before q Buffalo court one
lawyer offered to prove that the con-
testant was drunken brute, who beat
and otherwise abused his sister to such
an extent that she finally married to
be released from him. On the other
side the lawyers offered to prove that
this same man was so lovely and self
sacrificing that he forbade himself the
joys of matrimony and lived poor lone
bachelor for his beloved sisters sake.

IT is reported that the population of

IT is reported that the population of
Colorado is about 400, 900, as compared
with 1914, 1927 in 1880. This is a gain of
100 per cent, which is large, but does
not equal the gain of 3s7 per cent be-
tween 1870 and $780, 1t is enough, how
ever, to give the State two members of
Congress instead of one. The popula-
tion of the State of Washington is set
down in round numbers as $50, ,OOO II
so, there has been a gain of 368 per
cent. since 1880, when there were $1,000
people in the then Territory. Much of
this increase, which will doubtless give
the State another Congressman, is due
to the growth OF towns like Seattle.

Predict Hig shortage in Potatoes.

ST. PAUI. Mimi. Aug. a.-Inquiry Of
farmers elicits the Information that the
potato crop of Minnesota is small
probably less than one-third OF an ay-
erage yield. The tubers brought into
market are not much larger than wal
nuts, and but few are found in . hill,
the extremely hot weather having
ripened and killed the vines before
she potatoes developed. Merchants
have put the price up to one
dollar a bushel and predict that
it will be twice that as soon as

Some Trains Running.

New York, Aug. lO.-The strikers
have not succeeded in suspending all
traffic on the Central railroad, and it is
evident that a general feeling of disap-
pointment prevails among the strikers,
though they will not admit this. They
placed strong reliance upon the assist
ance of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, who, according to many Of
the Knights, were to have taken hand
in the fight last night. A prominent
member of the Brotherhood said to-day
that the Locomotive Engineers were
not to be in this strike. 1t was not
their fight, but of course, he added,
should they be ordered out, they would
60. He did not think such an order
would be given. The brotherhood,
said several others, remembers the c.,
B. e. Q. strike, in which their places
were taken by knights of Labor, and
are not otover-anxious to help the Knights
now. To-day the regular schedule pas
senger service of the Hudson River &
New York Central and the Harlem
roads was resumed, the only change be-
ing the consolidation of outgoing Wes-
tern trains.

Plenty of Time.

The discussion Of live issues is
always in order but we are opposed
to booming candidates for Office be-
fore the result of the last campaign
has been officially announced. We
may be stating this little stronger
than the literal facts will warrant
but we mean to say that the entire
mission of the WORLD is not to boom
candidates, in season and out of
season. Because political convent
ions see proper to nominate candi-
dates more than six months prior to
the election is no reason why we
should proceed to fall into the same
error, for it is an error. We didn' t
adopt journalism for the sole pur-
pose Of electing our man to Office
and burying the other fellow in the
darkness Of oblivion forever-at
least not until the time comes. We
want to be as charitable as we can
and hence don't want to be burying
some fellow every week. Besides we
haven't ammunition enough to last
six months unless we load very
lightly. We believe that there is OF
should be something to work for in
western Kansas outside Of politics
We may be wrong but somehow We
can't shake off the old tradition
entirely, and we still hold to the
opinion that the principal mission Of
a county paper is to give all the news
and work for the upbuilding of The
community, rather than to be al
organ for the demolition Of thu
fellow on the other side of thu
political fence. However, we ar
quietly whetting our knives thu
hot weather and, when we get goot
ready, the decapitating process WI
begin. Our Shaksperian scythe vii
hardly be in condition until all tn
nominations are made as it cuts
wide swath and don't work well IN
less it takes a full cut.

To Be Demonstrated.

Thomas knight, of Kansas City,
was in town last Saturday looking
up the question of irrigation for
western Kansas. He is in the EN-
ploy of the u. P. Company and,
while he was somewhat non-com-
initial, we learned enough to justify
us in saying that an effort will be
made to test the practicabiIity Of the
theory of irrigation. Mr.. Knight
thinks there is no question about ii
and is anxious to see it demonstrated
in small way. He says there is nc
trouble about capital after the
experimenting process develops the
fact that our uplands. as well as oul
valleys, can be irrigated. This is MOI
his first trip to this county FOR thu
purpose and he drove out a few
miles to make final examination 0.
a certain locality where he thinks
the conditions are favorable for tn,
experiment. We make use of tn,
term experiment" although Mr
Knight does not regard it in tn
light of an experiment hut rather

benefit Of those who are not S,
sanguine as he is.

while Clyde, Kirwin, Lincoln,

FOR TIE FUTURE, AS WELL As THE
PRESENT.

The Republican party Of Trego
county is confronted to-day with
in issue that has no precedent, 1t
is peculiar, also, in this: There is
but little difference of opinion as to
what ought to be done, but a wide
diversity as to how it should be
done. We are now referring to the
Republican party and the Republic
an members of the alliance. We
think the solution is not difficult. Ii
a spirit Of fairness will characterize
all we can solve The problem without
leaving a ripple upon the political
surface. But few want war, and
those few should be relegated to the
rear and compelled to remain there
Those who have the interest OF the
party at heart and those who are IN
terested in carrying out the alliance
principles are the ones who should
be heard. Every reader of the
WORLD knows what our attitude has
been toward the alliance since It's
first organization. We have not
changed onr views. At the same
time we have never felt ashamed to
proclaim at all times and IN all
places that we were a Republican
We have not changed our views
There is no inconsistency IN this
As we intimated before, the differ,
erence is not so much tekdt as hO'C.
The question now is: Shall We
have another war similar to that o.
1883, or shall we endeavor to secure
the adoption of the principles tina
are dear to us in peaceful way
We are for peace, and hence tn
care to exclude everything of an IN
flammatory character from thes
columns. In nearly all controver
sizes both sides are liable to be some
WHAT in the wrong.
In all probability mutual eonces
sions must be made. These can b
made without any sacrifice of prin
ciple. We have noright to ask an,
man to sacrifice a principle 70
policy, and this we shall not do.
It is not to the present alone tina
we look. This falls campaign doe
not end the matter no diferenc
what may be the result. There ca
be nothing more disastrous to gu
county than strifes and contention
engendered through political wal
fare. Remember, this will be
civil war. It is not the two old pal
ties arrayed against each other.

Peculiar Proceeding.

A peculiar case was called for trial
last Monday before the US. Com
missioner at Peculiar, Mo. Several
parties had been arrested charged
with instituting a boycott against
the postmaster at that place. 1t
seems that from some cause the
postmaster was not popular and an
effort was made to divert the bufiness
from his Office to another in the
neighborhood so that the emolu-
ments of the Office, which were pre-
Dictated upon the amount Of business
done, would be lessened. The case
was continued. We are safe in say
ing that it was a peculiar proceeding
