States are going to keep at home the one
hundred millions Of dollars that we are
now annually remitting to foreign coun-
tries for our sugar. We are bound TO
raise our own sugar and will be disap-
pointed if in time we do not export large
quantities Of sugar. Where is better
place to develop this industry than the
OF other places along our line where
sugar beets can be raised with as much
profit, but doubt If there is any that
will surpass this particular valley. The
people should be induced to experiment
in raising these beets. II they have no
seed, the Agricultural Department at
Washington will be glad to furnish 1t
free on application. ! am sanguine that
in the course OF few years one will see
sugar factories scattered along the Ar
kansas valley as frequently as you now
see them in Germany and France. Sugar
beets ought to average the grower $50
per acre. This is fine crop and once
determined a success in the valley, there
is no question about securing factories.
Fruit culture is already so much of a
success in the valley, the excellence and
lusciousness OF the peaches and other
fruits is so marked, that take it for
granted that in a horticultural way there
Is nothing more TO be said.
Bee culture also promises to be very
remunerative pursuit in the valley and
it should not be forgotten that the ex-
port demand for good honey is almost
without limit
am we'll aware that the people of the
valley are alive TO their own interests,
but / want to impress on you the impor-
tauce Of these suggestions.
Yours truly,
PAUL MoRToN,
Third Vice President

WORK FOR PRISONERS.
BY A. A. THAYER, DID.

The state of New York has fur
nished an object lesson in the man.
agement of criminals which our gen.
Grafton will do we'll to consider. Hith-
erto New York has had law which
allowed the inmates of prisons and
penitentiaries Gods privilege of earn
ing their bread in the sweat of the
brow. But outside manufactures
and labor unions were jealous of the
competition. The law of prison
labor cheapened the prices of the
kinds of goods made in the peniten-
tiaries. And so they besieged the
legislature to repeal the law. 1t is
now unlawful for prisoners in New
York state to do any labor, or manu-
facture any article which competes
with the so-called honest labor of the
public.
Now as to results. In Kings county
penitentiary there are more than 1000
inmates. Heretofore the profits on
their industries were from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. These profits are
now repudiated and $4,000 per an
mum expended for the keep of the
prisoners. Here is financial differ
ence against the policy of idleness of
about $4,000 per year in a single
penal institution. Therefore, the
honest outside laborers in that Kings
county must make good these $4,000
by extra taxation for that amount per
year.
The law of idleness has accom-

WALT WHITMAN's LETTERS.
LAGRANGE. Ill

Opinions on Walt Whitman, both
in England and in America, though
differing somewhat according to the
personal point of view, agree in the
main to such an extent as to permit
broad classification of them into
extremely laudatory or the opposite.
Never had an American writer more
Jealous champions or more untiring
detractors, and so earnest were these
two classes that those who knew
nothing of Whitman's writings of
themselves were attracted or repelled
according to these widely differing
estimates. The time seems now to
have come, however, when a saner
and truer conception of the man may
be formed. AS to his work the critics
and readers generally are still con-
fused and at loggerheads. Whitman
during his life was acclaimed by his
friends the poet of the future. but,

pulsive, idle, tolerant, charitable,
boyish, merry, vigorous old man, a
passionate lover of humanity, of the
open air, of the sea, of active moving

my" puts it in its analysis of these
letters, which were written during
the years 1S6S-1S80. His pleasures
were few, simple, and healthful; bis
friendships sincere and hearty,
and the entire man seems to have
been natural and unaffected, how
ever magniloquent and boastful his
poetry may occasionally be. Such a
conception will alter greatly the
perspective of the man and his work
on the part of many readers and
while it scarcely seems probable that
criticism will alter greatly its verdict
upon his poetry, Whitman, the man,
has become very much more low

for great deal in final estimates in
literature.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT I. M. ATWOOD. D. D.

IT is a sign of the times that in Kan
sas the three schools of medicine repre-
sented in the practice of the state, the
Irregular" the homeopathic, and the &c
lectic, have arranged to hold joint
meeting. at which papers are to be read
by members of each party. 1t is not
unanimous love-feast, some OF the old
school withholding themselves from it,
and some even denouncing it as recog
milton of "humbug." But the more intel
ligent public's sentiment favors the union
program. As respects the SCHOOLS" the
public has ceased to make any discrimi-
nation on the basis of merit because it
disco rms no ground for it. Practitioners
of the same grade of ability and educa.
ton achieve results 80 nearly identified

figured up that the young peoples con
ventions Of the last summer cost S6,l7o.-
600, and mitigates the apparent enor-
nifty of the expenditure by suggesting
that the greater part of it was spent by
persons who took this in place OF some
other vacation. No doubt this is the
case in many, perhaps in the majority of
instances. If SO, it changes the aspect of
this large item of expense. Ii some
thousands of persons take their outing
in attending conventions, and prefer to
do so, the cost of it is not properly
chargeable to the conventions. 1t is
turning the vacation fever to account in
making these gatherings large and
memorable. We could wish that other
conventions might benefit in the same
way.
The intention of Mr.. Chadwick in
his paper read before the Saratoga Con-
ference was not, we must assume, to de-
preciate Jesus so much as to take away
the remaining prop from the New
Theology" But it is impossible to read
that paper and not feel that the author
has ceased to be a Christian in any but
the hereditary and statistical sense. BY
inheritance and inevitable intellectual
and spiritual absorption he is more like
the Master whom his dialectic discredits
than some who are rated as sound in
the faith. But Jesus is to him not at
all what he has been and still is and al
ways will be to the Christian world
Mr.. Chadwick believes securely any
thing told of Jesus in the Gospels: he
repudiates altogether what is affirmed of
him in the creeds and in theology; and
he empties from the great personality
that fills so large space in the history
of religion most of it's unique contents.
So does this poet theologian "abiure his
predictions"

out that death is not the goal of living
things. but a necessary step in the
ascent of life. ut comes to reign on
earth because it comes to serve" Life

The notorious Sam Jones (who is
nothing except he is profane or bias
phemous), affirms that "Hell is located
half-mile from Boston," But Bos-
ton can have hell nearer than that.
Absolute idleness makes hell of any
place. Heaven itself would be full of
pain under such restraint. To be
happy even celestials must have some
thing to do. Virtuous employment
is the first step toward the reform of
a prisoner.

you: and ye shall be witnesses unto
me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth"
Often in the waiting days that fol-
lowed WI zen they keenly felt the sep
aration from their loved friend and
Master, this farewell promise would
be unto them source of spiritual
comfort. They had parted from him
They never expected to see him again
on earth, but they had his word
which could never fail, and they re-
mained in Jerusalem waiting in
prayer and supplication for the com
ing of the Spirit, and the realization
of the promise. At last the day of
blessing dawned upon their waiting
souls. In the simple but expressive
language of Scripture: when the
day of Pentecost was fully come.
they were all with one accord in one
place" sign of that unity of spirit
without which the church can never
expect to receive in all it's fulness the
promise of her Risen Lord. "Apd
suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as mighty rushing wind,
and it filed all the house where thew
were sitting and they were
filled with the Holy Ghost The
shadows scattered. The light had
come. Then they began to under
stand the meaning of much that had
troubled and perplexed them. Not
all at once did they lose the old i'm
perfect conception of the Redeemer's
Kingdom, but from this period they
entered upon truer realization of
their relation to him and to his mis-
sion. Conscious of the spiritual ma
ture of his kingdom, and possessed
of the one power that could bring
men into sympathy and obedience to
the laws of that kingdom. they went
forth noble and heroic band to con-
quer the world for their Lord and
Master, Jesus Christ.
That memorable scene at Pente-
cost revealed new order of life. 1t
was the day that marked the dispen-
sation of the Spirit. 1t may be prof
liable for us at this point to note the
appearance and manner of these men
upon whom the Spirit descended.
That wonderful change had taken
place in them is apparent as we
read the simple but very express
sive language of Scripture. Peter
the apostle speaks to the assembled
company, but it is a new Peter. 1t
is the same story he tells, hut the
man who utters it speaks with a new
power, and those who listen, listen
with profound emotion. Skepticism
has tried in its usual plausible tone
to explain away the marvellous occur
ence of Pentecost, and has utterly
failed to give us reasonable ex-
planation. There is only one explain
alton to give: The Spirit of the liv-
ing God has taken possession of that
little company. The promise of the
ascension morning had been full
filed. A new era in the history of
redemption had been iuaugurated.

"HESE words are those last re-
| corded in the sacred narrative
before our Lords Ascension. He had
fingered among his disciples forty
days, speaking to them of those great
truths which pertained to the king
dom of heaven. During that blessed
season he held holy fellowship and
communion with them. His appear
ances during those forty days were
not only revelations from the invisi-
BILE, preparing them for his final
withdrawal as visible object of love
and trust, but periods of instruction
for them in the higher principles of
the new kingdom. 1t was the begin
ming to them of new and better life.
Sometimes he appeared to only a
portion of them, and sometimes to
the whole of them. At this last in
terview, which to them must have
been one of very deep and sacred sig.
nifcance, they were all assembled.
The scene was most impressive one.
Human language would simply fail
to describe it.
There was at this time a subject
which troubled the disciples not a
little, and concerning which they de-
sired further information. They had
always cherished an imperfect and
earthly >view of the kingdom their
Master came to establish. Doubtless
the spiritual instruction they received
from him after the resurrection served
to largely modify those unspiritual
conceptions of the purpose and scope
of his mission. And yet hope still
remained in their hearts that tenn
poral power might be founded, and
an earthly kingdom be established.
1t is impossible to read these clos
ing lines without being conscious of
deep sympathy with the disciples
in the patriotic hope that they cher
ished with regard to the future ofthe
Jewish people.
1t is not matter of surprise, there
fore, to us that they put this ques-
ton to him: lord wilt thou at this
time restore the kingdom of Israeli ~
With what consideration he answers
them, checking and rebuking specu-
lation as to the fulfilment of the
promise: SIT is not for you to know
the times and seasons which the Fa-
ther hath put in his own power D
What blessing if the Church of
Christ at all times in her history
could have been content to heed this
admonition which our Lord gave to
his disciples on the ascension morn
ing. Verify the secret things belong
to God. To the rebuke so lovingly
given was added a splendid promise:

HEALTH NOTES.

Raisins are stimulating in proportion
to their quality.
, Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily in cold weather; they have
a thinning and cooling effect.
| All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from the
liver, and should be used cautiously.
Don't go where there is q glare of
either sunlight or electric light more
than you can help. The green of the
country and of the grass and trees is
restful for the eyes.
Don't go to an optician to get glasses
without first being examined and treat
ed by good oculist. Much harm is
often done this way, and your eyes are
not things to run any risk with.
The whole system needs to be in
good condition to keep each organ
right. So keep your body strong, for
when the body weakens the eyes weak
en-. This is the reason of failing sight
in old age.
Don't use the eyes when very tired
or weak from sickness; they are the
most sensitive of your organs, and tire
Rs the rest of Us tires, and use after q
certain point of fatigue or weakness
has been reached is injurious to any
part of our body.
About mid-afternoon, says an author
ity, is the best time for gentle outdoor
exercise. Those who delight in ante
breakfast walks or gymnastics are
warned, too, that "early morning ex'
ercise" is as much to be avoided as
early mental labor, because at thai
time vitality is at its lowest ebb, ane
needs stimulating rather than further
taxation.

Washinpton's Stat ue.

The statue of Washington-that
$3.50, 1000 one-in Philadelphia is said
to have been modelled after the portrait
of the Father of His Country, painted
by Gilbert Stuart, and now in the
White House. If such be the case, it
is not Washington at all, below the
neck and part of the shoulders, for
Stuart painted only bust portrait.
The completed figure was painted af-
terward by Winstanley, with Colonel
Smith, son-in-law of President John
Adams, as model for the unfinished
body and limbs. Washington was q
man Of splendid proportions, almost
giant, and Colonel Smith was the only
man of that day who could wear Georges
clothes without a misfit.
In 1914, when General Ross and Ad-
miral Cockburn, two British frebrands
and wreckers, drove Dolly Madison
away from the White House, the wife
of the President turned back to save
this portrait of Washington. 1t was
hanging on the wall, and caught her
eye just as the British reached the
threshold. At the risk OF capture she
resolved to save it, and save it she did,
though the servants were obliged to
chop it out of the frame with an az.
The canvas was sent in hack to awo-
man of the name of Baker, living be-
yond Georgetown. Fifty years later it
was renovated and rehung in the White
House.-New York Press.
