a NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY.

From the Pratt Republican
It Is the opinion of many close OBJ

entered upon a new era of prosperity
that viii continues for the next eight or
ten years. One Of the chief reasons for
this belief that they cite Is that wheat

or three instances Of temporary abnormal

past been unusually low. must in the
future inevitably maintain q higher
range, owing 10 the simple fact that our

rapidly than the production of wheat

see that a steady, legitimate advance in

tons cited would inevitably bring better

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
BOOM

From the Kfnsley Mercury.
The Wichita EAGLE has, to a great ex-
tent, dropped its fight on the ''old crowd
and is devoting more of its space to des-
criptive literature such as superinduced
| the marvellous growth of Wichita and
many other Kansas towns three and four
| years ago. We hope its present efforts
may prove as fortunate as those preceding
| for year or two during that portion of
our states history now commonly and
derisively referred to as the "boom period. :"
With all its results, good, bad and in
different, the EAGLE was responsible for
that Kansas boom. 1t originated in the

last and greatest gamer from it, Many

where people got wild and reckless, and

the people were tricked by set of shy

from paupers, Kansas was an all round
gamer from that boom, Notwithstanding

We hope the EAGLE may be successful in
starting another good substantial boom in
Wichita and if it does and it spreads as

Attorney General Kellogg's information,
gathered from county attorneys over the
state, is TO the effect that the resubmission

resubmissionists are about what they
were.-Emporia Republican.
The attorney generals opinion of the
resubmission movement is about as cor
rect and worth about as much as his
opinion Of the supreme court decision of
the Iowa liquor case. It is of little con-
sequence, but some people would proba-

A writer in the Western Sportsman
says: In 1915 vegetables could not be
be grown at Topeka; in 1870 they could
not be grown at Newton; in 1872 they
could not be grown at Larned, and in
1879 attempts at gardening in Dodge
City were pronounced failures, but at
present as fine gardens can be shown at
nearly all these places as grown any
where in the east" The State journal
thinks cit would be interesting to know
who it was that undertook gardening at
Topeka in 1915" That's easy enough
stated. The Shawnees and Pottawatto-
mics hibernated in that locality about
that time. Their gardening operations
were confined principally to raising cain
among each other and neighboring
tribes, and hair from the unwary white
who happened to come under their ban.

Among the many issues that should
come under consideration in the coming
election, is the policy that seems to have
become fixed by the state authorities of
working penitentiary conviCts in cOmpeti-
ton with the labOring men of the state in
the mining of coal, the manufacture of
brick and other articles. While it might
possibly be considered inhuman to cOnfine
men and women accused and convicted of
crime without employment, at the same
time, it cannot be denied that the present
practice is heartless outrage upon a repu-
table class of our citiZens.-Leavenwor
Sun.
Considered from a sentimental point of
view, the foregoing sounds all right; but
from a standpoint of business and JUS
tice, it is the veriest fiummery. How
much greater hardship or injustice is it
to the honest labor Of the state to have
the inmates labor at something by (which
they can earn a support for themselves,
even if the product of their labor does
come in competition with the free labor
of the state, than it would be to tax the
latter for the support Of the former
while it is kept in enforced idleness.
Sentiment is all right where it does not
ignore common sense and common JUS

1t is not very often that the Spanish
government has to be congratulated on
giving publicity to any matters touching
its financial position; but it has made a
move in the right direction in publishing

February show that the imports for the
two months were III, 900 pesetas,

The exports in the same period
amounted to 1875, 544, 900 pesetas and 1885,

The acting mayor of Nevada, Mo, a
stanch Democrat, a few days ago shot
and seriously wounded a man who had
denounced him As a mugwump. Of
course it is exceedingly reprehensible
for man to seek to vindicate his repu-
tation with powder and bullet. but if
ever provocation justified a recourse to
such measures, 1t would seem to do so
in this instance. You could scarcely ex-
pect a stalwart Democrat of the wild
