THE SUGAR BOUNTY,

The Fort Scott Monitor quoted para
graph from the EAGLE of few days ago
IN regard to the bounty on sugar, and
the Emporia Republicans adverse criti-
cism thereon, and then made the sub
Joined comment on the latter and on the
question as relates to the sugar industry
in Kansas: &.
''It seems to the Monitor that the Re-
publican IS making foolish attempt to
discourage an industry that cannot but
be of the greatest benefit to the farmers
of the state. 1t has not proved a failure,
and will not if government aid is ex-
tended until the industry Is fairly on its
feet. Last years work was more salts
factory than that of any other year, the
Republicans statement to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The discoveries and
improvements made last year viii be
ready for use in the beginning of the
season this year instead of at the end.
The report of the secretary of agriculture,
infinitely describing the work in the eX-
pertinent station at Medicine Lodge and
the results attained there last year, make
interesting reading for those who are in
favor of opening another source of reve-
nue. to the farmers of Kansas The beet
sugar industry in Germany was devel-
oped under more unfavorable circum-
stances, and has been of great benefit to
the people Of that country, as the indus
try in question will be to the people of
this country. 1t is part of a good gov
ernment's business to help the people
who support it in every Legitimate way
The sorghum sugar industry will yet
become one of the settled and most valu-
able adjuncts to agriculture in Kansas.

In the midst of the Bearing sea contro-
versay Queen Victoria, through Private
Secretary Ponsonby, makes a most i'm
portant announcement to the English
press. TO the effect that she has conclud-
ed to present no more gratuities to moth

this spasm of economy we are unable to
state. The same reason exists for pay
ing premium for triplets that always
has existed. and this rude severence of a
silken tie which bound the mothers of
England to their queen produces pain
full shock. Perhaps the queen is re-
trenching with a view OF war; and vet in
case of war she cannot have too many
soldiers.

1t is matter of no particular conse-
quence, but in a conversation with an
Atchison man Saturday Ex-Governor
George w. Click said that while Grover
Cleveland was not scheming nor wire
pulling to get support, or secure the
nomination, he was still in the race for
the presidency. Governor Click also
stated that he knew whereof he spoke.
The Patriot says it is understood that the
governor is in correspondence with Mr..
Cleveland. He believes that the eX-
president will be renommated without
opposition; that New York will support
him unanimously. This will be news to
the Topeka Democrat. but it is a pretty
flat contradiction of its asseverations re.

L1BERTY,s DEBT TO THE BAPTIsTs.

LIBERTY'S DEBT TO THE BAPTISTS.
To the Editor Of the Eage.
Some Baptists assert that they can
trace their church succession from the
third century. Without admitting OF
denying this claim, it is doubted if the
generality of people in America or Eng
land realize the debt liberty, political
and religious, owes to the Baptist church.
Bancroft says that with greater con-
sistencv than Luther it applied the doc
trines of the reformation to the social
conditions of life and threatened the de-
struction of priestcraft, kingcraft, titles
and vassaiage.
In England, from the time of Henry
VIII to William III, the Baptists strug-
gled to gain a foothold and to secure
liberty of conscience" to mankind, and
until A. D. 1860 stood alone On this
question. In Cromwell's time they
first had fair hearing.
and under the leadership of Vane and
Mithau would have Teyolutionized the
entire church system but for the treach-
cry of Monk Lord Albemarle). Escap-
ing to Rhode Island under the guidance
of Roger Williams, they planted the seed
of religious liberty which terminated
and filled the New World.
In the code of laws enacted by them in
Rhode Island, it IS said: I'VE read for
the first time the declaration that con-
science should be free and that man
should not be punished for worshippinS
God according to the dictates of each
individuals heart.
The Article on religious liberty in
the amendment to the Federal COnsti-
tuition was adopted by the united and
persistent efforts of the Baptist church
in A. d. 1879.
Though we talk of the liberty of con-
science, though we put it in the bill of
rights in ali our state constitutions,
though we on the Fourth of July pay
tribute TO the founders of our govern
lnent, we fail to remember that the war
of 1916 was over taxation without rep
and not for liberty OF con-
science, which is as much greater than
than the principle of taxation as the sun
is greater than the smallest star in the
heavens. ZINGARO.

A Gray county man talks of starting
a rabbit farm for the purpose Of raising
rabbits for meat canning factory. If
the Cimarron New West has correct in
formation on the subject the citizens Of
that country and of the entire section of
the state want to persuade the prospector
to abandon the enterprise before he be-
gins operation. The fecundity of the
rabbit is amazing and his invasion of re-
mote districts swift and mysterious.
The New West says careful estimation
shows that, under favorable conditions,
a pair of Australian rabbits will produce
six filters year, averaging five individ
uals each. As the offspring themselves
begin breeding at the age of six months,
it is shown that, at this rate, the original
pair might be responsible in five years
for progeny of over twenty million.

FAIR DEALING FOR THE FARMERS.

The Hatch and Washburn anti-option
bills now before congress is causing
heated discussions and denunciations in
the pits of the various boards of trade
and exchanges throughout the United
States. The fear Of the passage of these
bills has hurried up the operators in
efforts to counteract the growing public
sentiment in favor of honest, fair trade
between owners of the property and in
vestors for distribution or export Reso-
lutions are being passed and amend
mendments being made to suppress, or
rather adjourn, all bucket shops, curb
and alley trading in puts. calls, spreads,
straddles, privileges, deals, clearing
house and evening ups, until after con-
gress adjourns, all of which looks sus-
picious, for if these boards of trade and
exchanges are honestly in favor of
legitimate barter between owners of
property and buyers either for invest
ment, manufacture, export or distribu-
ton, they can stop all of this bearing
down of values by non-owners by
changing a number of rules under which
these organizations now act, viz: The
marginal rules of Chicago, which per-
NIT the board of directors to fix margin
values. The rule that permits the Chicago
board of trade directors to change the
mode and place Of delivery after con-
tracts are made. The st. Louis conner
I1Ie the New York cotton rllIe that
makes the buyer Of certain grade take
any other grade that may be rendered
at differences fixed without consent Of
thu buyer. There are other objection
able rules that need either expunging
or remodeling. After these Boards of
Trade do this, let them adopt the Hatch
or Washburn bills and build up the
commerce of the United States, on an
honest basis governed only by supply
and demand, insisting that all contracts,
spot or future, shall be made in actual
good faith. Punish any ether man who
sells what he does not own, or is not the
agent to sell from the actual
owner. Make it felony TO utter false
sales, false contracts, false reports of
over production or under consumption,
false reports Of hot grain in elevators,
yellow fever scare on hog products, and
rumors Of failures, either OF banks OF in
dividuals, in fact elevate the character
of the exchanges and protect the COM
merce of the United States.

COLONEL HALLOWELLS WITH

From the Topeka Capital.
The withdrawal of Colonel J. r. Hal
lowell from the congressional contest in
the Seventh district was a surprise to
his many friends all over Kansas. The
gallant fight he made two years ago
against fiat and socklesS politics emit
tied him to denomination If he desired
it. In the contest with Simpson he ran
ahead of the state ticket, and it is not
saying word against the other candi-
dates for this nomination to say that
had prince Hail. gone before the con.
vention he would have received the
nomination and been elected. In with
drawing from the contest, Colonel Hal
lowell assigns good business reasons.
That he will give the nominee and the
party the same enthusiastic and ear
nest support that has always been char
acteristlc of him goes without saying.
All over Kansas Colonel Hallowell has
hosts of warm friends in the Republican
party who will take more than ordinary
pleasure in honoring him in the future
when the opportunity is offered.
