Barely more than forty years have
world the unique invention of the
telegraph, and yet to-day according
to the latest figures which can be OBJ
tanned the worlds Geographic sys-
tenn embraces in it's wide and COM
plicated area not less than 1905, 1923
miles of wire.
This enormous aggregate is distrib-
uted among the great divisions of the
earth as follows: Europe, 1864, 790
miles; Asia, 80, 6S5 miles; Africa, 3d.
419 miles; Australia, 217 ,476 miles and
America, 1916, 549 miles. From these
figures it appears that more than fifty
per cent of the worlds mileage Of
telegraph wire is on this side of the
Atlantic, but in view of the fact that
the invention itself is of American or
igin, this is just as it should be. But
the fact that America outstrips the
balance of the world in the extent Of
it's telegraph mileage is not so much a
tribute to it's own invention as it is to
the extraordinary rate of progress
which has taken place in the Western
hemisphere during the past fifty
years. Taking the figures as they ap-
ply to the whole world, what higher
tribute could be offered to the genius
of Professor Samuel F. B. Morse, the
renowned inventor of the telegraph?

sires may be accomplished peacefully
and without suffering. Then if your
profitmasters strike or object they will
be out of the breastworks and you in.
Organize BY all means, at once and SOL

solidly as you are organized, and for

run them in the interest of the people.
This done, several profitable and pleas
urable results will follow as certain as
that day follows night. The profits
which a soulless corporation now pock-

taxes will be reduced. Strikes will
not occur, wages will be increased and
work assured. In word, it will be a
triumph of socialism Railway Times.

The Strike ra. PolItIc,.

Uncle Sam rises to catch tAe speak
er's eye" and to remark THAI "Boston
is the most thoroughly organized city
In the East. Its labor unions are num-
erous, strong and energetic. And yet
last week one of the strongest unions,
that Of the street car employees, got
whipped in a three days strike and the
union may go to pieces. Boston labor
leaders have sung louder than any 9TH
ers the old refrain: keep out of poll
tics" and it is hoped the lesson of the
strike, though costly to the hnndreis
of men who will not be reinstat4i, may
not be altogether lost Keep politics
out of your union, taking the only 9TH
er alternative, the strike, and you will
not only keep out of politics, but many
of you will also keep out of work. As
long as private ownership of our in
dustries continue the corporations are
entrenched behind breastworks invul-
nerable to strikes, but which can offer
not the slightest protection to the solid
vote of intelligent labor. In these days
of labor-saving machinery, child labor
and the army Of unemployed to strike
is suicidal, though there are times
when to maintain right ard manhood

A TRUST Petitions the Leglslaturo.

One of the strange and uneXpecten
things that has come before the Kan
sas legislature is a petition from ar
eastern loan company asking for relief
from taxation on land acquired BY
mortgage foreclosure in the wester
part of the state.
The North American Trust company
owns 1885 tracts of land, Pas, 200 acres
in all, west of the Goth meridian, all of
which was taken in on mortgages.
This land is located in Greeley, Stanton,
Finney, Seward, Lane, Meade, Hodge
man, Kiowa, Morton, Scott, Haskell,
Stevens, Garfield and Comanche
counties The land, of course, is not
very productive and has not proven
Verg good investment for the Trust
company, and for that reason the leg
islSture is asked to do something that
will lower taxes.
An individual may lose his entire
crop year after year but he never
thinks Of asking to have his taves re-
mitted or lowered on that account.
This Trust company finds tnat it has
made a bad bargain and wants relief
from the state and asks that counties
be consolidated, school districts disor-
ganiSed, fire guard laws repealed and
other changes made for their benefit.
Representative Jaquins Of Cowley
county has introduced by request of
the Winfield agent of the North Ameri-
can Trust company petition, part of
which is as follows:
"The taxes in all of these 80 counties
are large, much of which is unneces-
sary and un just, aud the object Of this
petition is to show the present con-
dition Of these counties, point out the
source Of the trouble, show that the

The Way of the Thinker.

The way of the thinker, if it be hon
est, candid and outspokeu, is not
strewn with roses. His fate is to be
misunderstood, misjudged and often
despised by those of his own time
nevertheless he must think, regardless
of all consequences, He thinks and
hopes and endures the scorn of the iu-
solent, ignorant, reactionary feeling
assured that time in its course will vim
dictate his thought aud his motives be-
fore later generations.
Many af the men now most highly
honored in all lands, were in their day
regarded as dangerous teachers and
m.ischievous agitators. The Quakers
of Pennsylvania had much trouble
with the Massachusetts man, Benjamin
Franklin, almost as much as the men
of Massachusetts had with the Quaker
hundred years earlier. Thomas
Penn wrote of Franklin in 174s: she
is dangerous man, and l should be
glad if he inhabited any other country
as believe him OF very uneasy
spirit" In 1894 John added: "Nevel
will there be any prospect of ease and
happiness while that william has the
liberty of spreading about the poison
of that inveterate malice and Miniature
which is deeply implanted in his OWL
black heart"
Let those who are maligned for do
ing their duty in these times be of goo(
cheer. Many of the judgments o.
every generation are reversed in thu
next. Time fights the battles o
truth--an unwearied and unimpass
toned ally.
Ever the truth comes uppormost
And ever is justice done"

The prominent mention of the name
of Henry George in connection with
the mayorality of Greater New York
has already put renewed energy into
reformers of every shade of opinion,
He has been assured widespread en-
thusiasm in his behalf. His support
ers will be led by the revolving dis
tricts of Tammany. The Tammany re-
bellion has assumed most formidable
proportions and is under the leader
ship of that experienced politician,
Henry D. Purroy. Purroy was I'M
swerving in his loyalty'to Bryan from
the day of his nomination and has per
sistently refused to affiliate with the
goldbug element that knitted the ma
tional ticket. He has formed districts
for political work all over Greater New
York and the semi-olficial announce
ment of Mr. Georges nomination as an
event of the near future was made
this week. Henry George himself has
nothing to say on the subj ct, a silence
which is interpreted as assent. The
political prospect in this city is, conse-
quently, very interesting, Mr.. George
is man who can occasion an immense
amount of valuable discussion and his
campaign would be one of education
in the best sense of the word. The
men under the leadership of Purroy
who are striving to nominate George
would never interest themselves in
such a movement unless they felt sure
of its success. 1t may be safely pre-
dicted that the mayoralty campaign
under such conditions would attract
the attention of the entire country
and be fully as exciting in its way as
the ever memorable campaign of
William Jennings BryGn.-Twentieth
Century.

At the close of the last campaign it
was announced with a great flourish OF
trumpets by Mark Hanna, and echoed
by all the subsidized press, that the re-
publican educational campaign would
go right on, in order that those ignor-
ant of the blessings of gold standard
and'protective tariff might beconverted
from the error of their ways But the
terrible object lessons now daily pre-
scented of starving men and women, in
countless thousands throughout the
country, and the failure of banks and
business multiplying largely, has
brought about change Of programme.
Hanna now gives out that he 10 sin
favor of stopping all political agitation
and permitting the verdict OF the peo-
pie TO stand upon its inertia" One of
the reasons given for the decision
is the continuance of the discussions
previously mapped out by TIE republi-
cans, sis now and would continue to
be menace to the return Of business
prosperity" The fact is the republi-
cannot afford to further defend the
issues that placed Mckinley in the
presidential chair, and the managers
clearly realize tho fact Sun

Norton county has a citizen s? years
of age who was laid out for dead 80
years ago. He was supposed to have
died of cholera and his grave was dug
and body dressed for burial, but he
came to life and broke up the funeral
and moved to Kansas where there is SO
much difference between a live man
and one who is dead that there is no
danger of making a mistake.

A demented Emporia woman threw
poodle dog into the stove and shut

sickness and so the poor poodle was
made the victim.

remedy is within the state and ask the
legislature for proper relief. All Of
these counties are hopelessly bankrupt
if present conditions continue"
"While recognise the fact that it is
impossible to make wholesale CONSOLE
dation of these 80 counties, yet, be-
ginning can be made under the law.
At the last general election Greeley
county cast 1870 votes, Stanton 112,
Grant 1903, Haskell 1876 Stevens 1876, and
Morton 80. The constitutional require
ment is $50 votes, and in the interest
of economy and just representation
for all parts of the state, these counties
should be consolidated in such man
ner as to best subserve the interests of
the state.
After giving figures showing the
population of different western
counties, the petition says:
THAT section of the state vest OF the
Goth meridian has representation in
this legislature of from 10 to IA times
as much as the cast half of the state
The petition then asks for the repeal
of the fire guard" and abandoned
well" laws, and states that the lands
owned by the company are not pro-
ductive of revenue and that the taxes
are continually increasing on them, 1t
also states that the cattlemen are talk
ing the country and claims they have
no redress. The petition concludes
with the following recommendations:
"First-That the state superintend-
ent of public instruction have power to
consolidate school districts or abrogate
such districts when there are less than
six pupils
"Second-Give the county commits
sioners power compromise back taxes
"Third-Call a constitutional con-
vention for the purpose of giving all
sections of the state just and equit-
able representation.
This case is left with you, believing
that in your combined wisdom various
measures will suggest themselves
that will give relief from the many
losses we are now made to suffer.
