TOO HEAVY AN EXPENSE.
Rev E. L. prather Drops the Grand
Jury Petition.

Jury lelltlVh'
A few days ago Rev. L. l.. Prathcr
and Rev. Il. L. Tarbill started out
with a petition for the calling of a
grand jury for the next term Of court
Rev. Prather today authorized the
REFLECTOR to say that $50 far as he
is concerned the petition will be
dropped on account of the hard
times" The high taxes and the effort
of the county and city to economize
in order to save money to the public
has made many consider grand jury
at cost estimated by the county at
torney at from $1,000 to $1,000 an ex-
pensive luxury and Rev. Prather ex-
pressed himself as unwilling to be the
means Of involving the county in an
expense which the people felt they
could not stand. His course will
make him many friends.
The petition had today secured
about 30 names, while remonstrance
signed by most Of the businessmen in
town and heaviest taxpayers has
about 100 names and others are in
circulation in other towns Of the
county.

We do not agree with the gentle
man In his conclusion--the eastern
people understand the situation In
Kansas thoroughly. They are watch
ing with intense interest the expert
ment Of irrigation and will hail its
success as a harbinger Of returning
prosperity and a restoration Of values
in western holdings-and more the
eastern people are themselves estab-
fishing experimental stations and en-.
couragng industrious elrort-not
that they are in an arid country, but
to bridge over periods Of drouth and
secure for vegetable life a uniform
and uninterrupted growth, resulting
in greatly improved quality, and
plant that shall be crisp,
tender, succulent and palatable, in
stead Of the tough, stringy, indigesti-
bic stuff of spadmodic growth grown
under conditions Of wet and dry.
Irrigation in Kansas is not only an
Assured fact but II has come to stay
and will prove in the end to be in
arge measure y palacea Tor our
financial ills. Let us irrgate.

STRANGE to the judge against such

Of the taxpayers. The commissioners
added their voice to the petition
against the calling of a grand jury.
The new iantor Of the courthouse
and grounds to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of +. G. Holz-
worth was chosen last evening and is
Richard A. Brown Of this city. Mr..

zen and staunch Republican. He
will fill the position with credit to
himself and the county.
