The following from the editorial col
umns of the Lawrence Journal if true
and we have no right to doubts some
thing of revelation to very many plain
people who are not onto everything that
is going on in the political world. The
Journal says:
The great Coffeyville dynamite investi-
cation, by which a most henious crime
was to be located at the door of the Re-
publican tent, has degenerated into a
factional squable among the local poll
ticians at Topeka, and the main question
at issue at the present is as to whether or
not Judge Webb tried to bulldoze Gov
ernor Humphrey into making him a
judge of Shawnee county court. This
is no doubt, a very important question
but there is serious doubt if the state can
afford to pay $4,000 to have it settled.

foolishly fooled away. In planting
trees for timber, especially the hard
wood varieties. it requires years of
patient waiting before they become OF
much value, yet they increase in worth
every year and that should be source
of pleasure, as much so as pillng up

vivals in religion, reviyals IN politics,
and men everywhere praying for a re-
vival in business; there should also be an
enthusiastic revival, an outpouring gush-

planting of trees. Fifteen and twenty
years passed and but very little done in
timber culture; we are foundering in
the objectionable sin of apathy. The
most valuable farms are those that are

would double in ten years If farmers
would absolve themselves from past
negligence and take hold of this faith
with willing hands and continue stead

have reclaimed the desert and it shall
blossom as the rose. Every farmer can

The Other Mans Hat.

A very amusing incident occurred in
one of the local churches Sunday. As q
visitor entered the church he was shown
TO a seat by one of the sections. and after
seating himself quietly and placing his
hat beside him on the seat. he became an
attentive listener TO the proceedings. As
time passed on, however he became nerv-
Gus and uneasy. and reaching for his hat
was about To leave when be was stopped
by some person, who tapped him on bis
shoulder from behind. Thinking IL was
the sexton who wished him TO remain till
the close of the service he waited: but in
few minutes he again reached for his hat,
and was prevented in the same manner
as before.
He now came TO the conclusion that the
service must be an important one, and that
the sexton did not wish him 10 disturb the
proceedings in any way. so he again seated
himself. After waiting for some time
longer he resolved 10 leave at all hazards
He made another grasp for his hat, and
was again tapped on the shoulder, but he
did not heed il and arose TO leave. when a
voice from behind him exclaimed, II beg
your pardon, but that is my hat you have"
The visitor made a hasty apology. picked
up his own hat, which had fallen upon the
floor. and left. while the observers Uttered

A striking illustration of the extent of
foreign population possessed by the
larger American cities is furnished by
the census showing Chicago's vote in
last falls election. The naturalized vote
of that city was as follows: German,
$4,000; Irish, 2O,253; Swedish, 1864;
English, $500; Canadian, 4,4O2; Bohemi-
an, 3,447; Norwegian, 1898; Polish,
2,774; Scotch. 1910; Austrian, 1907;
Danish, 1857; Russian, $50; Hollanders,
GIL; italian, Csc; Swiss, 62S; French,
SAT; Hungarian, 1863; other foreigners,
402; making a total of $500 out of a
total vote of 172, 756, or more than 80 per
cent of the whole. The proportion of
foreign population is larger in Chicago
than in any other city in this country,
though in several others, and some Of
the largest cities the foreign element is
large enough to exert controlling influ-
ence in local politics and government.

Science is making some no less won
derful discoveries now than has been its
wont at any period. One of the most
marvellous was the recently ascertained
fact that the air above us is filled with
caverns and great holes, just as the
earth and see are. The discovery was
made a short time ago by couple of
aeronauts of Paris who undertook voy-
age of some distance by balloon. They
had reached an altitude of 5000 feet
when the balloon suddenly en6ered one
of these aerial caverns and suddenly fell
as if dropped over precipice, going
down to within fifty or one hundred feet
of the earth before the bottom of the
cavern was reached. This presents a
new and entirely unlocked for complica-
ton in the development of aerial naviga-
ton, though it is thought that it can be
provided for by ballasting the air ships
with a view to meeting such contingent
cies by unloading the ballast.

An exchange, in speaking of the New
Orleans affair, remarks that ''those pa
pers which are still scared about the
Malta and what it will do, should turn
back through their files to May 6, 1886,
and follow up the history of the Chicago
anarchists from that time till November
1883, when the leaders of the murderous
outlawry were hanged or committed to
Joliet. The Italian menace is not one
tenth as threatening as was this red
mouthed and red-handed mob, and yet
no summary vengeance was necessary
to put it to sleep" While the comparison
OF the two events, per Sc, may bear out
that idea, there is yet a very great differ
ence In the Potentially of the two. For
midable and threatening as the Chicago
affair appeared for a time, it never at
any time had the sympathy or support
from any foreign country or govern
ment, while the New Orleans incident
already threatens to involve the good
feeling, if not the peace between the
United States and Italy.
