LESSON FROM NOBILITY.

1t was very broad smile that went
over the country when it was announced
in the dispatches that the duchess of
York, or Princess Mary Of Teck, will
have an accouchment.
A much better phrase, and one that
the women Of the neighborhood employ
in place of the physicians term, is that
the duchess Of York is going to give
birth to child.
The English make no bones about it.
1t is openly announced and no one is the
worse for it. 1t is matter of great
concern to the household and the people.
But if an event of similar importance
and like kind should be in prospect in
this country great delicacy would be OBJ
served in publishing the fact, if it were
published at all. Birth is a common
matter, but it is often held as thing
that should be concealed and only men,
toned by word of mouth.
Physicians say that this custom has
worked to the injury of the child in
more than one case. Embarrassment
over the unborn child must be deleteri-
GUS. Great solicitude and pride is felt
for the child as soon as it is born, and
just as much should be felt in it during
the period of CESSATION.
Superior as we are to the English in
many things, we are below them in
being prudish in this matter.

extra tolls and freights eat into the mar
row margin till he finds it difficult to
compete with the wheat raiser further
east who is free from determinations.
The product which brings the best re-
turns from the lGhtest tonnage is the
crop for Kansas. This would cut down
the freight receipts, but no apology
would be due the railroads which have
so long taxed our farmers by levin
extra charges on their grain. The long
haul at local rates, or double the rate per
ton per mile, will place us to great dis
advantage as long as we submit to it.
1t has been ascertained that alfalfa
with the addition of a small amount of
grain, will make pork. 1t will also pro-
duce the best quality of beef when used
in connection with our rich native
grasses. Alfalfa is naturally suited to
our soil and can be grown successfully
at the higher attitudes, thus utilizing
much larger area of the western portion
of the state. 1t grows with but little
moisture and yields three crops year
instead of one. Wien the field is well
seeded it remains q permanent and sure
crop for years. This is a great saving
in dispensing with the annual expense
of seeding.
Pork is product which will always
be in limited supply for the reason that
the corn area of the world is quite linn
tied. The same is also true of the alfalfa,
Wheat is grswr everywhere but the meat
producing crop must be confined to the
zones where the yield is in paying guam
tity. The crop statistics of Kansas tell
their OWE story on this point Our eli
mate makes this veritable paradise for
live stock, for the same reason that it Is
a health resort for invalid5.
Horse breeders say they get a better
nerve force and lung Development than
in the lower attitudes. The two staples
named make not only beef and pork, but
horse flesh, mutton, wool, as we'll as the
various products of the poultry yard.
Head work should be an important
branch of industry with Kansas farmers
from this time on.

BoopLERs AND THEIR FATE.

Nothing will come of the investiga-
tion of the charge that certain senators
had been bribed by the Sugar trust.
Nothing will come of it for the simple
reason that nothing ever comes OF
charges Of bribery.
1t is a fact that every once in while
great hulIabaIloo is made about some
official boodling, but when it comes to
the scratch, to the point OF proving
assertions, conviction fails
The worst thief is the public official
who steals. He not only robs the public
but he violates the trust which the voters
have placed in him by electing him.
And vet, of all men, he is the one who
can the most easily escape.
There is 10 use in trying to convict a
United States Senator of boodllng.
There are usually buttwo men concerned
in the deal, or rather, only two men
who ere witnesses to the transfer of the
bride. One is the man who accepts the
bride, and the other the man who gives
it. 1t would be ridiculous to think that
the bride taker would inpeach himself,
and in almost all instances the man who
gives the bride gives it in exchange for
something. which. if he secures, he IS
not going to release by owning how he
secured it.
There is no constitutional bribery law
which is effective. The law which
makes the bride giver equally guilty
with the bride taker kills itself and as
measured justice and protection to the
public is absurd and worthless. One
man who is guilty of helping to rob the
public for palpable reasons can not go
before the courts and convince men that
another man is alike guilty, on unsup-
ported testimony.
Indiana has a bribery election law
which is effective, but it is unconstitu-
tional. The man who accepts bride
for bis vote in that state can have the
man who bribed him arrested, and, If
he proves the charge, the court can
force the bribe-giver TO pay $500 to the
man who originally took the bride. This
is paying the boodler for boooling, and
in the matter of such small sums as are
employed on election days around
booths has a great preventive power.
But in large boodling cases it would be
inactive, of course.
There is one good thing about the
charge of Doodle, however, TO which,
even if conviction fails, the people owe
much. An investigation reveals enough
rottenness to convince the people that If
they had the instruments they could
find more beneath. And they wait for
election day and convict the unfaithful
servant By letting him stay at home for
the remainder of his natural life.

BRAINS IN FARMING.

There Is consolation in the fact that a
short wheat crop means little loss 10
Kansas while the price is SO low. The
margin Of profit, after deducting the OK
pense of raising a crop, is SO little that
The aggregate loss will not BANKRUPT the
formers Of the state, even if the Weld
should fall below that of last wear. The
conditions regulating the price of wheat
now are such that farmers would do
well TO look to other products. even if a
full crop was assured every year. The
greatly increased acreage of wheat
raised in Australia, New Zealand. Sentb
America, Russia and East India points
Enthusiastically to an over supply for
years TO come. This. considered with
the fact that it is produced by the chean
labor Of the old werld, mans that
American farmers are not in it as COM
petitors.
The Kansas farmer has special reasons

SWING WILL NOT RETURN.

Much interest attaches to the renewal
of the controversy between Professor
David Swing and the clergymen of the
Presbyterian church. About a week ago
it was rumored that Professor Swing
would return to the Presbyterian church
and at once the clergymen of that
church said very plainly and very forci-
bly, that Professor Swing would have to
admit the discipline and all the doc
trines of the church to the letter, and
abide by them.
OF course this was impossible with a
man of Swings trend of mind, and he
has replied to the criticising clergy with
great deal of vigor. Briefly, he says
that he will not return to the Presbyte-
rian church because it is too slow for
him.
He says that the new truth is gaining
On the Presbyterian church, but it is
gaining slowly and that today the fol-
lowers of Calvinism are far behind the
times intellectually. Some day, he de-
clsres, they viii see the light.
A religious discussion is always in
tenssly interesting. Some one has said
two men will agree on nine points of a
religious subject and murder each other
over the tenth
This is true because the point in dis
cussion upon which the division occurs
is variously interpreted and each disput-
ant argues from his own Interpretation,
with the unfortunate but natural result
that no one is convinced.
Professor Swing has large cougreca-
lion and thousands of admirers. They are
people who do not care TO belong to any
church organization or be tied down to
my particular creed. They want to
hear the promise of immortal life given
without the structures of discipline, of
tenets which were the product of time
less advanced than the present time and
Of men who were not of the broad spirit
which characterizes the masses of the
present day.
The Presbyterian church has disci-
pline. No church or organization of
any kind can exist for any length of
time without laws which must be held
inviolable. United action and strength
through unity can only be consummated
by organization founded on forms which
members of that organization must ad
here TO.
Those laws cannot be discarded in a
day. Time will wear them AWAY or al.
Ter them.
Professor Swing can put them aside in
an hour and carry large congregation
with him. But the Presbyterian church
ss whole can not and keep its follow.
