wICHITAl FORWARD, MARCH

From the Oklahoma City Daily Times.
Wichita came, saw, conquered and
collapsed. Call a Halt were the
EAGLES orders scarce more than months
ago. This command was obeyed to the
letter, and the procession is now ordered
to move on by this same EAGLES "Why
come to Wichita?" Marsh Murdoch s
hand has ever held the destinies of that
urban miracle From the creative genius
OF has brain has sprung that peerless
city, that wonder Of the nineteenth cen
tury whose progress dimmed the sun and
gave to lightning the pace of the snail
His cry of 'Why come to Wichita?"
sounds like clarion voice from high
heaven, reiuspiring the wlthered zeal of
property holder and wholesale merchant
1t is possible, it is probable, that his
one column boom article of Sunday
will go far to re-establish the old time
faith. The dormant genius and bound
less experience of the city's founders
may take anew life and rejected dream
come true. This is really Marsh's first
serious attempt at anything of the kind
since Call Halt" sent Wichita's boom
floating Off into the mist of memory.
The occasion Is oppOrtune, the Kansas of
1891 being the greatest Kansas ever
known. 1t would look as if this shrewd
prophet Of real estate activity and COM
merclal prosperity had again taken for
tune at its flood.
Imitation and wisdom are seperate
and distinct, but it is often wisdom to
initiate. 1t would prove so in the case of
Wichita and Oklahoma City, should
some recognized leader call the halt a
little sooner. Here everything points
onward and upward. The country was
advertised for fifteen years prior to birth.

Anent the marriage few days ago OF
the pretty Elaine Goodale to the Dakotah
Indian doctor, comes the announcement
that Mrs. Cora Belle Fellows-Chaska,
the down-east school marin who Mortified
her friends year or two ago by marry
ing Sam Chaska, the brute of Brule,
has instituted divorce proceedings
against her aboriginal husband. The
grounds of her petition are no doubt
sufficient, but the popular verdict would
be to not grant the divorce. Intelligent
women who permit themselves to be
controlled by maudlin sentiment rather
than by common sense and decency
ought to be allowed to reap the full
benefit of their folly. Easily obtained
enforcement in such cases is an indirect
encouragement to other giddy girls to do
likewise. The best way to discourage
such idiocy, not to say criminality, IS to
hold those who dip into it, strictly up to
their bargain.

THE WHEAT CROP.

From the Emporia Republican.
Kansas is Just now in the harvest fsld.
making desperate efforts to gather in the
enormous crop that is dead ripe in every
locality. The unfayorable weather has
delayed harvesting until rapid work Is a
necessity, or heavy loss will ensue. The
farmers are also handicapped by short
age of labor. Somehow the army of I'M
employed stragglers marching through
the state a few weeks ago and begging a
cold lunch because they could not get
work, has mysteriously disappeared.
Some grain will Oe lost on account of in
ability to gather it; but the crop as a
whole will be safely garnered and it will
be an enormous one. The total or par
tial failure in other great wheat grow
ing countries of the world indicates
plainly that the supply will not equal
the demand, which means high prices
and consequent prosperity for our wheat
growers. AS John Stuart Mill says,
when the demand exceeds the supply
competition sets in on the side of those
who buy. And if the article
is a necessity of life, which people
are willing to pay almost any price for
rather than do without, a deficiency OF
one-third or one-fourtb, or one-tenth be-
low the demand may raise prices TO
double or treble what they would be if
there We're no shortage. In Fooke's
History of Prices" it is stated that
when there has been a deficiency of no
more than one-sixth or one-third below
an average the price of wheat has risen
from 100 to 200 per cent. When the
people want bread and the supply Is
short they viii pay excessive prices be
cause they must have it. Say what you
will about plutocrats, spectators and
bad legislation, the fact remains that
prices are controlled by supply and de-
mand; il always has been so and always
will be so. People will pay high for
what they must have If il Is scarce in
the market. and they viii not pay high
when the market is flooded because they
know they won't have 10. Heavy crops
rushed into market will cause a glut and
stagnation, as was the case with l0-cent
corn in 1889. No amount or kind of
legislation can change the operation of
this memorable law of commerce, and
those who expect such change are
doomed to certain disappointment.

A colony of 500 Danes has just land
ed in this country and settled in Mary
land where they will take up the busi-
ness of dairy and truck-farming. They
are all enterprising, industrious people,
and have sufficient money to maintain
themselves until the returns from their
labor begin to come in. These are the
sort of immigrants which the country
desires, and which, in earlier days,
formed larger proportion of the ag-
gregate than they do at present. They
were always welcomed and always will
be. Wherever they settle they form a
valued and important element Of the
population, and the restriction provis-
ions of the immigration laws are not
directed against such people, but against
the shiftIess, dependant or criminal
classes.

Governor Fifer, of Illinois, has signed
the bill enabling women to vote for all
school officers. Twenty-six of the forty
four states, small majority of
all, have now given women some form
of suffrage. The woman suffragists will
find great deal Of encouragement in
this, no doubt, but when the slow pro-
gress that the craze has made in this
country as whole, being in vogue in
some of the states for a third of a
century with no evidence that it will
ever extend beyond the present limit,
that of voting for school officers, there is
nothing to discourage the opponents Of
women in politics.

She Was at Fault.

On Brooklyn surface road one day
among other passengers in the well filled
car were a gentleman and young lady,
strangers TO each other, seated side by side.
The gentleman was of refined appearance
and carefully dressed. and was apparently
absorbed in his newspaper. The young
lady, it was noticed, became somewhat
restless after time, and once or twics
moved somewhat inpatiently away from
her next neighbor. Finally she arose
abruptly and asked the gentleman on the
other side to change places with her, which
he promptly did.
Her action was noted by other occupants
In the car, and the spirit of chivalry in
every masculine breast was awake and
alert, suspecting some annoyance TO her.
Indignant glances were directed toward
the presumably offending man with the
newspaper. until through the peculiar
magnetism which impels one to return n
persistent gaze, he became conscious of the
surrounding disturbance. He glanced up
from his reading saw the angry contempt
depicted on his neighbors' faces, noted the
change of place on the part Of the young
lady, and rose TO the situation With q

Is it a sample of cold-blooded sarcasm
or specimen of enterprising % journal
ism when the Wichita EAGLE prints the
horrible murder of Sam Wood on one

induce Sam Wood to leave the state. y

To disabuse the perturbed mind of the
esteemed of any generalization on the
part of the EAGLE in the matter referred
to, will say that it was simply coinci-
dence. The editorial squib was written
and in type hours before the death of
Wood was known. And while it eX-
pressed an honest sentiment, it would
not have appeared if the distressing Incl
dent of his taking off could have been so
much as anticipated or suspected.

county, Kan, in the great fruit market

peach crop on the Allen farm in Howell

IT is estimated that the yield will be in
the neighborhood of GO, 600 bushels. The
trees in bearing are 6. 900. The sale in

Another Question O, poxH.

Says correspondent of the Boston

bridge, once told me story of young
man in the ministry who, in converse

allowed that he did not believe in the
devil. Not believe in the devilr said the
elder; why, you are an atheist. Now,
if in addition to the regular three per-
sons in the Godhead we are to have n
