it seeks the cheapest mode OF con-
veyance. Mr.. Walker is a railroad
man, but he sees in this the geograph-
ical and ecOu0miC distribution of
the traffic. 1t will be noticed that
there is more encouragement for
Galveston than for New York in his
prophecy, since the former has few
or no rivals for its share. while New
York must divide with every port
from Boston to Newport News"
The west is already justified for the
effort 1t made through the Topeka
convention eight years ago to secure
an appropriation from Congress for
Galveston harbor, though at that
time even among the most prominent
men at the convention there was a
feeling that the movement would
come to nothing, that the convention
was rather for buncOmbe than for
business. That convention has re-
suited in greater present and pros
peCtive benefit to Kansas and its
sister states than any other political
gathering held IN the west since the
war.
The export crops Of Kansas today
sell on the farm for equal prices with
the same products of Iowa, two
hundred miles nearer the Atlantic,
and nearly as high as those of Illinois
and Indiana. The time Is near at
hand when good farm land in Kansas
will bring as high price per acre as
good farm land OF Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana or Ohio. Kansas is entering
upon new era, with brighter promise
than at any period in her history.
The man who stays by Kansas and
the man who migrates to this state or
who invests his money here will never
have cause to regret his faith in the
capacity of the SunhOwer kingdom to

The East and West.

Wichita Eagle.
The east is ever Sneering at the
west, cOmmiserating its struggles and
poverty, making light of its grievances
and ScorDing its claims. ignoring the
fact that the west is being robbed by
the east directly and indirectly, 10
many ways, and continually. A
Boston writer lately, impudently.
but not untruthfully, analyzed tue
situation. In speaking of the efforts
of the west to reach the nearer and
more natural gulf sea ports, for i'm
port and export purposes, the gentle
man referred to pronounced all such
talk as nonsense, and a thing that
would not be permitted by the east,
He went on to cite the fact that
every conceivable article Of manu-
faCture used by the people of the
west is manufactured in the east,
that the money Of the west is con-
trolled by the east, that the merchants
of the west are dependent upon the
jObberS Of che east, that all railways
and other lines of western tranSpOr-
tatiOn are owned and controlled by
the east and that the national con.
greSs, as also the administrative and
judicial arms of the government are
dominated by eastern powers and
influences, that therefore all talk Of
western independence of action
was but waste wind.
The truth of these claims and con
cluSions are undeniable. The west i:

financially and politically. And SC

When, sweating under the burther

Politics in the Big Seventh.

The Wichita Beacon contains the
following concerning politics in the
Big Seventh. The person who wrote
the article has had more or less to do
with the recent air ship stories sent
out from Kansas:
Some of the old Republican wheel
horses that have stood in the thick of
the fight for years are making some
vigorous kicks against the party ma
chine presided over by Mr.. Cyrus
Leland.
ut is claimed that Leland has pre-
vailed on Senator Baker to agree to
let Leland run the machine unmolest-
ed. A part Of Leland's plan is to
make Chester |. Long the next Re.
publican candidate for governor, and,
IN order to help his candidacy, Mr..
Long is to be allowed to hand out the
plumS of the Mckinley administra.
tion in southern Kansas.
ut was conceded that SedgwiCk
county must have recognition and il
was agreed that Colone! Marsh Muir
deck shall have the Wichita pOStOffice
at the end of Postmaster Fitch's
term Of office.
"E. B. Jewett, Syl Dixon Of McKin'

of Attica, are candidates for United
States revenue collector. After il
began to be argued that fair distri-
button of the plums would give Wich

claim that Chief Long got Jobes II

credited to this place. Jim DobsOr
has also moved here to get some Of the
plums that fall to Wichita, and thu
local leaders claim that is what /!

A New Era For Kansas.

Topeka Capital,
Five years ago railroad men east Of
the Missouri river laughed at the
suggestion Of papeis like the Capital
that the natural and inevitable outlet
for the export products of this region,
which includes ninety per cent of the
total exports Of the United States,
was through the ports of the Gulf OF
Mexico. Two years ago these same
exports began to realize that some
thing was wrong with the course OF
traffic from the surplus producing
trans Missouri region. Today every
intelligent railroad man admits that
the exports of this territory not only
will go eventually, but are going now,
by way Of the lines OF least resistance,
following the river courses and the
law of gravitatiOn. Says the Phil

soliciting Doodle. That class of men
cannot be trusted and to put them
under the pay Of the state again
simply opens up another opportunity
to sell out. And it will be unfair to
the railroads to force them to buy
the same men twice in one year. The
only remedy is to give the people an
opportunity to select honest men to
take the places Of the scoundrels who
have forfeited confidence and be-
trayed trust. The people can better
afford to bear the burdens they have
labored under for the past quarter of
a century for another year than the
expense Of another raid on the state
treasury. 1t is cheaper and not so
demoralizing. And there should be a
thorough discussion Of a railroad law.
