Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-09-14

THE writer visited the boys reform school at
Topeka Tuesday, and found everything in the
best condition possible Supt. Hitchcock and
wife are careful, painstaking people, and they
enjoy the respect of all with whom they come
in contact. They rule the boys with love, and
not through fear, and the boys seem happy and
contented. The boys are comfortably clad, and
are fed an abundance of good, healthful nour-
ishing food. We have at various times visited
other state charitable institutions, and we have
always found them conducted in a manner that,
it seems to us, could not be improved. The
opposition papers have had great deal to say
about "fusses" and Scraps in the state insti-
tutions, but whatever of truth there may have
been i'll these reports (Which are always magni-
fed many times), it cannot be said that the in
mates of those institutions suffer from lack of
proper attention and nourishment. In making
inquiries of various persons as whom is due the
credit for many improvements that have been
made, we are invariably told that they due
to the presence of a woman on the state board
of charities. All agree that Mrs. Leases inhu-
ence is wonderfully helpful, and member of
the board said to us: "She is invaluable as a
member of the board" The attaches of the
institutions are devoted to the ''mother MEM
ber," and at the reform school, when the 'oys
filed into the dining-room their faces brigh u
ed at sight of her, for they recognized tue
friend. When free to do SO, they crowd around
her, eager to grasp her hand, for they know,
from intuition, that her heart goes out in SYM
pathy to unfortunate and downtrodden human
ty. Would to God that the mother influence
could be felt in the charitable institutions of all
the states in the Union. Kansas is truly blessed
above her sisters in this respect

The Valley Of Health.

One of the most attractive features of
the Arkansas valley has never had that
prominence in the east which it deserves.
We refer to its advantages as sanitnr-
ium, especially for all lung troubles. 1t
is a well established fact that for many
kinds OF pulmonary Affections the air OF
this section of Colorado is a specific.
This fact should be continually heralded
throughout the union, for the double
purpose OF giving the Arkansas valley
deserved attractiveness In the eyes OF in
valids and bringing health to thousands
who have only to come here to gain it.
From the La Junta Tribune We are pleas
ed to see that our advantages as n sani-
tarium are soon to have prominent men
ton in leading journals. 1t says:
"Dr. Roberts writes that the Invalid
Aid society OF Boston will probably get
advertising soon relative to
their sanitarium movement, through such
eastern journals as the Review of Re
views, the Commonwealth, edward Ev-
erett Hale's paper Masonic Journal, the
and the Youths Companion" "

SILVER advocates should not worry
over the probable veto of the seignorage
bill It comes so far short of the de-
mands OF the country that veto might
more rapidly advance the silver cause
than the presidents signature. There
is an old story of an Irishman who heard
that feathers made good pillow. He
got a few dozen and placed them on a
rock and tried to sleep. He concluded
that the common belief that feathers were
useful for pillows was mistake. He did
not use enough. And the small silver
mintage contemplated might be just
enough Of silver coinage to give the gold
bugs a chance to say that a greater abun-
dance Of silver was no remedy for the ex-
isting financial troubles. But whether
or not Mr.. Cleveland signs the bill the
bill the contest for free coinage will con-
tinue until the right triumphs.

The organization OF Coxey's industrial
army, 80 called, is another evidence of
the facility with which the American
people adopt new ideas. It is doubtful
if any scheme could be started, however
wild and visionary, but that would find
some followers. The nation contains
great variety of people and can furnish
respectable handful OF disciples for any
grade of crankism. Coxey's movement
has, however, back Of it the unrest incl
dent to the fact that many thousands of
men are deprived OF their cust9mary en-
ployment. Legitimate efforts to bring
about revival of conditions favorable to
the resumption Of our great industries
should have the encouragement Of all pa
triotic citizens, but this proposed army of
tramps is not the way to remedy evils
brought about by political errors. This
is republic and the ballot is the remedy
for all governmental evils. When mis-
takes have been made by the people the
results must be endured until the remedy
can be applied in harmony with the prin-
ciples of Republican form. of govern
ment. In land where the people elect
the law makers, and thus absolutely con-
troll the government, there is no excuse
for talk Of violence, or for disorderly and
measures.

In this age Of progress the courts seem
to have dropped behind the procession.
just last week the supreme court OF Col
orado was appealed to to settle law
question which threatened to be the
cause Of bloodshed. After hearing ex-
haustiye arguments the court was unable
to answer Gov. Waite's plain question:
"What persons are legally entitled to
hold the office of Police Commissioners?'
II promulgated decision which leaves
the question in doubt, both sides to the
controversy claiming that the decision
is in their favor. Is there in the law
some inherent, old-time, musty con-
servatism which makes its ex-
Founders prefer ancient ruts to plain,
practical, common sense decisions whic h
meet the demands Of urgent cases like
that in point? II the lawyers would
give less attention to precedents and
more thought to present environment,
their usefulness to the world would be
greatly enhanced.
Since the above was in type the Dis
trict Court has heard the case and rend-
cred decision which seats Gov. Waite'e
new appointees.

Canning Factory Probabilities.

Rocky Ford recently received visit
from two prominent business men which
may mean much for the future growth OF
the canning factory interest in our town.
Messrs. q. w. Polk and @. Watkins Jr.,
OF Baltimore, Nd, spent several days
here looking over the field for an open
ing for extensive canning operations.
They wished to buy the Rocky Ford fac
tory, or build new and much larger
the country by Senator Swink, and inter
viewed DIR. Kearby, B. U. Dye and 9TH
ers interested in our factory. Their
proposition to buy the Rocky Ford fac
tory was not favorably considered by the
company but the matter is not yet fully
settled. If they fail to buy the present
works, efforts will be made to induce
them to build for themselves. Both are
practical in the business, and as the
Rocky Ford region has unlimited capac-
tiles for the production of tomatoes, peas,
corn, pumpkin, squash, asparagus and
vegetables Of all kinds, no better location
could be found for a large cannery. A
new factory would in no sense be a rival
to that now existing, rs it will take an
enormous expansion of the output of
canned goods to supply the Colorado de-
mand. Messrs. Polk and Watkins were
most favorably impressed with the ad-
vantages of Rocky Ford for the location
OF the works they have in view, which
would be planned on a scale to run as
nearly continuously as possible. We are
hopeful that the coming season will see a
great enlargement OF the canning indus
try in our town.
The directors of the company have
shown their faith in the future OF the
business by deciding to make contracts
for 100 acres of tomatoes this year. A
call for doubling the size of the present
buildings and also increasing the capac-
ify of tho r,,arbiporv
