ITHAs been some time since the
Goodland rainmakers (fakirs) have
been heard from. Western Kansas
has suffered from lack Of moisture
for several months, but no attempt
has been made to produce precipita-
ton and thereby demonstrate the
correctness of the theory which they
advocate. When spring comes
again there will doubtless some be
found who will be willing to invest
in this lottery against nature. Bar
mum used to remark that the Amer
lean people liked to be humbugged.
That idea has been fully established
by the Goodland rainmakers.

vidual members and that response
bility cannot be evaded. That man
who permits another to formulate
his political creed should be disfran-
ehised, and yet, unwittingly perhaps,
q large proportion of the voters in
the United States support with their
ballots wild and chimerieal schemes
of whose utilit, they have scarcely
given a thought, except as the lead
ing politicians in their party might
suggest. Two or three Of the lead
ers meet in New York and map out
the policy Of their party. Two or
three of the metropolitan newspa-
pers advocate it. It is taken up by
politicians and country newspapers
and becomes one of the cardinal
principles of the party upon which
the coming campaign is fought.
How many who indorse it and sup
port it with their ballots give the
matter a single independent, unprej-
udiced thought? If our leaders are
always unselfish, always patriotic,
never controlled by sordid considers
tions the danger is not so great, but
where their defined policy springs
from selfish interests the danger is
We are not pessimists.
On the contrary we believe the peo-
pie are reading more and thinking
more than ever before, and we be-
lieve that the time is surely coming
when no one man, nor two or three
men, can shape and control the desti-
MES of our nation; when universal
thought and enlightenment will
control parties in the interest of the
people.

THAT the prosperity of our free
institutions depends upon the intel
ligence of our people is an oft
quoted saying and has the force of
an axiom. In studying the history
of nations no fact is more evident
than that their manners and Gus
toms, sciences and religions, are
formed, regulated and governed by
the leading spirits Of society. A
very few mould, change and revolu-
tionize the customs and habits of an
entire empire or kingdom. New
theories are introduced, old ones re-
modelled, and ancient ones exploded.
Bonaparte made the French all war
riors-Voltaire and Rosseau made
them infdels, while the mysticism
of Mohamet is binding millions of
the human race. The lesson to be
learned is that knowledge and intel
ligence must be universal, and that
rare mental ability, unless guided
and controlled by strong sense of
justice and an enlightened con-
science, is not desirable, so far as the
nation or community is interested.
1t is not isolated prodigies 80 much
as universal knowledge upon which
the perpetuitE of our republican
form Of government depends. The
masses must be enlightened and they
must do their own thinking. The
ssspopsibility rests upon the ind-
