who violate the commands Of the courts
and destroy property.
Every day these Populists are becom-
ing more outspoGen in their belief that
force and violence is legitimate and
proper agent as means to an end.
If they see the whirlpool into which
they are rushing, they do not appear to
care, because they are possessed of this
mania TO destroy. Many of them no
doubt honestly believe that the courts
and the government and the whole sys-
tenn of the nation could be wiped out in
a day, and the country would be in
wonderfully prosperous condition as
result.
They cannot see that the first element
that appears when laws are set aside is
the now inactive element Of evil. When
the restrictions of government are re-
moved, it is the bad element which
springs up defiant, grows to be giant
in day, and rules with bloody ty-
ranny, Garry out the Populistio
idea of disregardIng and defying
The courts, and the thug anu the muir
derer will rule. Society has him under
her foot now. He would not be day
In freeing himself. He would kill for
gain or revenge, or simply for sport, as
the spirit seized him. He would knock
a PopulisU in the head as quick as he
would any one else. He could not be
brought to render homage to tie men
who had induced the condition which he
was enjoying SO much. The love Of
principle, gratitude, compensation, and
hope Of reward of either effort or
fidelity, are lost in chaos.
And chaos would be the natural result
if Populistic beliefs and tenents should
prevail. They sympathize with force.
So do the Anarchists. When they up
hold force they believe that what is pos
slble is right. 1t was possible for Santo

PATRIOT AND ADVERTISER

It is rather late III the day for the
Sons of Veterans to come forward and
kick on the advertisements being spread
on the flags Of the United States.
1t is rather late, becau Sc the spirit Of
advertising in this country has been
walking away with the spirit of pat
riOtism for good many moons.
Advertising is the great thermometer
of business mans industry. If he is
full of progression, and wide.awake in
competition. and unuring in his energy,
the first indication and the greatest in
dicatiou of it Is IN the amount Of adver-
Using he does.
Every body who Is up with the world.
and intends TO stay up with it, adver-
tises. The man who does, keeps himself
and his wares constantly before the pub
lie. When the time arrives that the
purchaser wants something in his par
ticuIar line, the man whose name he has
seen most IN advertisements, Is the man
of whom he purchases.
Ii Is little wonder then that advertiS-
ing has 50 many friends. And what
fr ends il mas are faithful aud constant.

ROADS MUST Co4E TO TIM K.

The money invested in railroads ex-
ceedS in amount that of any branch of
business in the United States, and for
profit relies wholly upon the develop
ment, growth and prosperity of the
country. Roads were built in the west
in anticipation of business. and they
wers prime factors in the rapid develop
ment. Because they were built at a
term of this countrys greatest prosper
ity, and during an era of high prices for
products of the soil, the high freight
rates charged and especially by non-com-
| peditive roads were borne because the
people could exist under them. This IN
turn caused more lines TO be
! built the future was discounted
and competition in railroad building
because SO great that roads were
constructed for the purpose Of occupy
ing territory to prevent rival lines from
building, the projectors looking to the
future for their profit.
Kansas has about $1,000 miles of road
whose earning capacity depends upon
the prosperity of the state. For years
there has been no effort on the part of
this enormous interest to build up the
state and thereby improve their hold
lngs. The same tariffs are in force that
existed fifteen ye;-rs ago. Hundreds of
interests have languished for want of
market, while traffic associations were
in session for the purpose of presenting a
break in the rates, CT for the purpose OF
reducing the long haul at the expense of
the local haul. A man could expect
just as good result by measuring his
neighbor's farm as the roads of Kansas
can by building up business in foreign
states. The rates in Kansas are from 30
to 90 per cent higher than they are in
Iowa. Wheat, the great raw product
of the state is hauled out of the state on
cut rates to be milled, while the flour
Rates are maintained. Again every
thing else has declined, and the policy
of the successful business man today is
to take a smaller profit and do more
business. Kansas ought to have 500, 900
more people which would add nearly 80
per cent to the earnings of her roads,
but she will never get them until her
roads change their methods and foster
instead of kill every enterprise. The
ability to make living in the state is
what will attract settlers. Cheaper
rates and smaller margins DO not neces-
saTily mean smaller dividends.

CLEMENS AND KANSAS BOOKS.

G. C. Clemens of Topeka has written a
! book. Clemens IS Socialist. He would
be an Anarchist, if he were not well
read and posted. His learning prevents
him from being a fanatic of the Anar-
chIst degree.
lie is not the first Kansas to write a
! book. He is not the first, either, to
have the sensation of hitting the ground
rather hard in about three months after
| the book has appeared,
Kansas has been fortunate in her poets.
! Eugene Ware, VIII White and Albert
Bigelow Paine have their rhymes re.
published all over the country. The
state has been fortunate again in her
| orators. ingalls, and Mrs. Lease are
both acknowledged nationally to be of
uncommon excellence in that line.
But when it gets down to prose work
of fiction Kansas has been very, very
weak indeed. Thousands of Kansans
have struggled through Kansas produc-
tions OF fiction, in a spirit of state pride,
and in the hope of having it sustained.
They never have. Hundreds of Kan
sas stories of length have been written,
and they all finally drift into the neg
lected corner of the library which Is re-
served for agricultural reports and con-
gressional Globes.
There are reasons why Kansas stories
are not successful. They do not deal
with Kansas as she is. It is far easier
for a writer to adopt New Eng land or
a metropolitan character and give that
character a Kansas setting than it is to
take the Kansas character in the rough
and give it a literary polish.
1t has never been done in prose. It
has not been done in this book of
Clemens.
For instance, he is very hard on the
policeman, The policeman is shown up
TO be a brute and tyrant. The city
policeman is. And it is the city police
man which Clemens has hauled out 10 a
small Kansas town pawned off on the
public as an original article
The policeman in New York as a rule
does not know what restraint is. No
matter what cruelty lie exercises in
making an arrest he Is sustained in The
police court. 1t is a common sight, on
the street of a large city at night, to see
an officer, as he is known, knock dis
solute woman down, or club a drunken
vagrant into insensibIlity. He thinks
nothing of it and forgets it the next day.
That isn't true Of the Kansas police
man. As rule he clubs no one and
when the necessity comes he suffers Just
as much as the man whom be has pun
ished. In town of the size of that in
Clemens story the policeman is not ar
rayed in brass bnttoned uniform. And.
if in an exceptional case he is. he re-
CARDS the uniform as an embarrassment
and is glad when he is rid of it. Usually
he is a whole-souled, kind-hearted man,
known to all the citizens and respected
by them. He IS 4 member OF some
church and enjoys high standing as an
individual in the community.
But Glen Clemens couldn't picture him
any more than many another Kansas
author could picture the Kansas woman
instead of taking Fifth avenue society
woman, putting her in a Kansas village
with village surroundings, but with the
original Astor hauteur, and calling the
book a "kansas story"

lished some very readable books on that
country. The ship canal was sure to be
huilt shortly by American men and
money, Americans were extremely
popular and 0lr. Squier's travels over
the country were as much like triumphal
professions as he would permit.
All the Central American lu1uries,
fireworks, earthquakes, lovely women,
volcanoes, riots and revolutions were
spread before hin with reckless pro-
digality.
He brought away some tons of the
stone gods OF the old civilization of that
country which now repose in the Smith
sonian, and the material Of his delight
full books. And forty-fve years later
they are building the canal and enjoying
their quakes and revolutions after the
old fashion.
| Here is what Nr. Squier has TO say
about that attempt at republic 81
| Central American states:
"During the month of November, 1894
/ the commissioners OF Honduras, San Sal
yador and Nicaragua had been in session
| in the city of Leon, and had agreed up
on the basis of union of these states,
| the terms OF which were promulgated
about this period for the first time. The
| arrangement looked TO an immediate or
| speedy consolidation for the purpose Of
conducting the foreign relations of the
| country, and to an early union en- the
| plan of federation. leaving it optional
with the states of Guatemala and Costa
Rica to accede to the compact.
This policy was opposed by the. cid
aristooratic or monarchical faction. or
rather the remnants of it; and they, it Is
| believed, were at the bottom of the DIS
turbances to which / have referred. In
Honduras, in the month following, they
attempted revolution with the view of
preventing the contemplated union; and
although they there met with better sus-
cess at the outset than in Nicaragua,
they signally failed in the end, not
withstaRding that they had the counten-
ance and support of the British officials
in the country; who at this time, both in
Costa Rica and in Guatemala, publica.
tions and otherwise not only denounced
the whole plan of federation, and what
they called the American policy but
threatened to break it down whenever
its organization should lie attempted"
