For Woman Suffrage.

TOPEKA, Feb. Ex-senator Parker ran a great
surprise on the senate by introducing bill to
grant the right of suffrage to certain women
named in the act. The purpose Of the bill, as
stated by its author, is to get the matter into the

let it be declared whether the legislature can
grant such a right without a constitutional
amendment.
The senate in committee of the whole has re-
commended for passage Senator FCrBey interest

full in making of contracts, for the payment of
money to promise OF exact either in writing OF
orally the payment of any rate Of interest In eK-
cess of the agreed rate, contingent upon any de-
fault of payment at 4 specified time and all con-
tracts for the payment of any excess rate of In
terest contingent upon nOn-payment at maturity
of the principal or any part thereof, and all con-
tracts for the payment of interest after maturity
contingent upon failure to pay the principal OF
any part thereof at maturity, shall be nUIi and
void.
The senate also passed the anti-PinkeFtOn law
which prevents the employment of foreign de-
puties.
The house passed the Ballinger fee and salary
bill by vote of S. to 16. Also a bill was recon-
mended for passage which provides a state levy

Cardinal Manning, one of the great
mind forces of the century, believed in
land for the landless, and.ssid that Sin
the providence of nature and Of God,
the soil belongs to those who are born
upon it and viii be buried in it; and
the attempt, contrary to providence or
the law of nature, to build upon the
soil any civilization or any social estate
which does not spring from that first
governing law of God and nature, be-
lieve to be doomed to failure" The
Peoples party advocates land for. the
landless, homes for the homeless, work
for the idle at wages which will make
the home the "sweet home" of the
poets fancy The American home
should be 9 place in which to rear in
dependent citizens, not poletariats; and
land is a prerequisite for such condi-
tons.

In proportion to the size of the city
in which it is printed, the Kansas City
Star has a larger circulation than any
other American newspaper. Its re-
markabIe success has been achieved by
its unfaltering adherence to the rule of
giving its readers the hest that The
Stars increasing revenues could fur
nish and its improved facilities could
supply. The Star was the first news
paser to give its readers a full weeks
papers-six evenings and Sunday
morning-fOr 10 cents, a thing that
could not be profitable except when
done on the big scale on which The
Star does everything The Star Was
also the first to establish a weekly edi-
ton for the trifing price Of % cents a
year; 10000 regular circulation for the
weekly edition demonstrates the Wis
dom of the idea.

After the Trusts.

TOPEKA, Feb. 1S.-A concurrent resolution was
introduced in the senate this morning by Sena-
tor Leedy, to compel the enforcement of the law
against trusts. After reciting that trusts of all
kinds are operating in Kansas to the detTiment
of the people, and that no county attorney has
yet attempted to infoTce the antitrust law now
on the statute books, it calls upon the governor
and attorney general TO take immediate and eff
fective steps for the enforcement of the law,
which imposes the duty Of prosecution upon the
attorney general where county attorneys fail to
act. Senator Leedy names the sugar trust, the
Standard Oil company the Coffee trust, the
Soap trust, the Cracker trust, the Starch trust,
the Match trust and several others in his resOlu-
ton and declares that they are operating now IL

The distfibutiOn of seed will be made
by the county commissioners of the
counties affected. The railroad COM
missiOners will purchase the seed up
on application Of county commission
ers. The seed called for probably will
be broom corn, Kafir corn, sorghum,
potatoes, etc. There will be little OF
no demand for spring wheat and corn,
and it is too late to plant winter wheat
and rye.

The county commissioners sent in
the papers for Sherman eounty's sp-
pcrtionment Of the seed grain approp-
ration, which amounts to s2514 The
seed asked for is one third barley and
two-thirds wheat. This seed cannot be
bought at much less than 60 cents per
bushel, which, at that figure would
give this county 4, 100 bushels. This is
only bagetele in the measure of our
wants, but is better than no seed.

About 20 farmers are on the way
toward Sherman county, who left here
last fall for the east "Where there is
always money and a sure crop" Others
are coming and many have already
slipped in unnoticed. They do not
carry bold signs about being starved
out in Kansas" coming this way, and if
possible, the last few miles are made
under cover Of darkness. The boys are
a little ashamed to own that their OPP
iniOns could be so radically changed,
and that Sherman county, with all its
faults, is far better than any part of
the east. These prodigals are glad to
be back and are receiving a warm vel

thing and stayed with Sherman county

Five years ago you could have sold
your farm, paid off the mortgage, and
had a nest egg left. Today the face of
the mortgage will swallow up the farm
and leave you nothing with which to
start anew, notwithstanding the hun
dreds of dollars you have paid in in
teFest on that "pesky old mortgage"
Now isn't this a factY And why?
Simply because you (the majority of
YOU have been voting for an "honest
dollar" one that was good in Europe,
you know. You have been voting to
make dollars more. and more valuable
and property less valuable, measured
in dollars. That's why you are not re-
ceiving decent prices for the crops you
raise. Can't you see through fence
when the bars are down?

The farmers of western Kansas are
facing the condition of seed time and
no seed. Owing to the amount of red
tape that must be gone through with
the estate seed" is slow and it will
probably be some time before it gets
around. Other sources are being
worked, also, and yet deficiency will
be experienced in small grain. The
farmers will then be forced to look to
other crops for their money makers.
One that suggests itself is broom corn.
The cost of seed, would be very light
and the continued high price Of that
commodity is assured. There is lots
of hard work attached to a crop of this
kind but it stands dry weather we'll
and at 500 per ton is a much better
money maker than wheat at 30 cents
per bUshel.

A WEEKS REVIEW
OF REAL ESTATE.
INVESTMENTS BY MIELIONAIRES
ARE ESTABLISHING CON-
FIDENCE.
GUIDE TO SMALL INVESTORS
APRIL WILL BE A MONTH o.
REALTY AUcTIoNs-LoCAL
SALES.

The real estate agents are unanimous in
their opinion that better feeling exists in
regard to city and country lands, even
among people who showed but little in
terest in real property as an investment.
There is more inquiry for country prop
erty, and indications are that an improve
ment will soon take place. Speculative
property has come in for share of the
growing confidence, which fact is shown to
be true in the increased inquiry for suburb
an lands.
1t is significant fact that few million
aires are investing heavily in city prop
erty, while small investors appear to be
timid about putting money into city land
that will sooner or later increase greatly in
value and pay handsome interest on the
amount invested. The recent transfers on
Market street, involving Millions should
be an example to small capitalists, and
serve another purpose. that of helping
materially to establish confidence in the
future of San Francisco.
The sales of real estate in San Francisco
during February were rather small in
volume when compared with the total
transfer of other months. From the sta
tistics compiled by Edwards Criterion the
following resume is taken:

PRESIDENT ENKLE HoNoRED.

Services at B'nai B'rith.


Services at B'nai Birth.
Unity Lodge, /. o. B. B., was officially
visited on Monday evening last by the
grand officers and chairmen of the various
standing committees of the District Grand
Lodge No. 4, /. o. B. B. The subject dis
cussed covered wider range than is usual
in a B mai B 'rith gathering, brought about
mainly by reason of the general public in
terest created in the matter surrounding
the Jew and the Young Mems Christian
Association.
The surprise of the evening was presen-
tation to Past Grand President Herman
Enkle, the gift being handsome gold
double chain. President Marcus Rosen-
thai made the presentation speech, allud-
ing to the many honors which had been
accorded Unity Lodge. and especially in
the selection of so loyal member to serve
as the chief executive of the order, and in
behalf of the lodge desired Brother Enkle
to accept the token as memento of past
services. Brother Enkle in response
showed clearly that he had always believed
that virtue was its own reward and to
DE thus unexpectedly rewarded for any
service was compliment so deeply touch
ing that it would never be forgotten. A
substantial collation. enhanced the even
ing's pleasure.
