the disease is fully established. the
mad dog often tries his best TO drink,
sometimes plunging his nose deeply

THE LATE IRRIGATION CONVENTION.

The question of irrigation for western
entire state. Sicce the settlement Of
! that portion Of the state, favorable crop
| seasons have been frequent enough to
cause many of the settlers to hang on to
their farms with the hope that increased
| cultivation would bring increased rain
fall and a more gradual precipitation.
/ The past few years have demonstrated
that the rainfall is too uncertain to make
farming profitable at an altitude above
1000 feet. The object of the agitation
semi-arid section Of the country is to
settle the question as to whether it is
practical to irrigate. In the event that
that country cannot be irrigated,
settlers would understand the risk
they take in attempting to grow
crops, and make homes there.
If irrigation is practical western Kansas,
with soil unsurpassed, ought and would
soon be a thicllly populated region.
The Salina convention resulted in the
organization of state irrigation assoeia-
ton. That association proposes 10 interest
the general government and ask that it
order an irrigation survey and whatever
further investigation may be necessary
10 ascertain The feasibility of retaining
that country. The United States sold
these lands and required the settlers to
live upon them for a stated time, in
order to perfect title, and repre-
sented that they were agricultural
lands. 1t has been demonstrated
that, unaided by artificial means,
the crops are too uncertain to
enable people to live upon
these lands, and the government should
provide the means for experimenting.
Private capital will take hold of any
scheme that the government assures
them is practical and can be made sue
cess. Kansas as a state should take
hold of this matter. Whatever benefits
western Kansas benefits the entire state.
Up to this time al the failures made in
western Kansas have been charged up
to the state and the time has come when
this question should be settled. The
run made for the Cherokee lands show
that there are great many people who
want a quarter section OF land who are
as yet unprovided. With the conditions
changed hat sparcely settled section
known as western Kansas would provide
a home for i million inhabitants.

Profitable lessons may be CLEANED from

GROVER AT PRAYER.

Grover Cleveland writes private let
ter, strictly fer publication, to a gov
ernor, On the money question, in which
| he says his daily prayer is that congress
may speedily repeal the Sherman law.
The letter was duly published. That
was the intention. If Grover is not too
full of Buzzard Bay liquid ne had better
get up off his knees. 1t is an unneces-
sary strain on his trousers. Prayers in
the interest of his Wall street Cocoon
spirators can neither reach the Almighty
nor will they be heard by the American
people. however handsomely Wall street
may have whacked up for that message
in the interest of the goldbug and of the
creditor, with which our praying presi-
dent knocked out that super-serviceable
house. The senate seems to be hearing
from the people, and the more it hears
the more it besitates to do the bidding of
a man who has been made president
twice by corporate influences, plain and
simple.
With what a doubling up" force the
public or secret prayer, must strike
any man who has ever
seen him or talked with him for the
space of two minutes. The cheek OF
even telling SO improbable story with
any expectation that anybody but the
most ignorant elements of his own
party could be brought to believe it fails
to further surprise observing people.
Grover was nominated and elected in
the interest of corporate wealth to con-
tract the money circulation of this coun-
try to the English standard, his party in
addition promising to reduce all other
interests of America to an English free
trade basis; but neither his bargain with
Wall street nor his party contract with
English manufacturers will be made
good. His praying is simply hypocrit-
ical posing. Despite all his prayers and
promises if the American people had
chance at the polls in November they
would wipe out both him and his free
trade party

HOW TO SHOOT TO HIT.
The Index Finger Makes the best Kind
OF Revolver Sight.

va 1eSsoANts rsAH~-
Shooting pistol quickly and accu-
rately is difficult feat TO the mex
perienced, but the following method,
recommended by an old timer, seems
to divest the operation of some OF the
mystery which has heretofore en-
veloped it. According to this gentle
man, SAYS the Kansas City Times, the
trigger should always be pulled by the
second finger, the first finger being ex-
tended along the barrel, so that 1T
points at the object one is shooting at
No matter whether the gun is on a
level with the hip or sighted with the
eye, the index finger will point exact
" at the target. OF course the finger
and the barrel must be kept parallel
and the shooter must not carelessly al
low the end of his finger to curl around
the end of the muzzle of the weapon.
if the finger should happen TO be
longer than the pistol barrel, other
wise unenjOyable happenings might
ensue. That this method is theoretie-
ally correct may be proved by an easy
experiment Point your finger at an
object, at the same time keeping your
hand on a level with your breast and
the direction of the finger not in line
with the eye and the object aimed at
Then lower your head until you can
sight along your finger and you will
find that the digit points exactly at
the object From unconscious prac-
tee in conversation persons acquire
the trick of pointing accurately with
the index finger. and ii is that in
stinctive habit which is taken advan-
tage of.
The beauty Of this method lies in the
fact that no time need be lost in get
ting the pistol from the hip pocket up
to the level Of the eye. The maxim
"Ie gives twice who gives quickly is
applicable to getting gun into action.
The shooting of birds on the wing is
done more by the instinct of long
practice than by the direct use OF the
eye. But q baseball pitcher never en-
ploys theodolite to locate the plate.
and a quarterback frequently passes
the ball to runner when both are
running at full speed in different d.
rections, without the Use OF a speed
counter These gentry do not even
have the advantage OF finger TO di-
rect their shots. Il would seem that
by the employment OF t:le index finger
method the general standard or &C
curacy in pistol shooting might be con
eiderably raised

there is not the slightest pretext for
haste concerning the federal election
law. 1t reads the riot act 10 Speaker
Crisp and Chairman Wilson for permit
ting the election law and the tariff to
