are making great big talk about
fraudulent pensions, The facts are
that there are very few pensions 60
ing to persons who are not entitled
to them and the few are being weed
ed out. There should be some pen
sion legislation enacted by this con-
gress and probably will be and the
redeeming feature of any law that
is posed by this congress is that it
will be prepared by the friends and
not the enemies of the old soldier,
The soldiers who fought to defend

that the republican party will do
him an injustice.

Did you ever stop to think how
few of the boys of today are prepar-
ing themselves for farmers. Kan
sas is an agricultural state and
three -fourths of all her inhabitants
are, or ought to be farmers. There
are perhaps one hundred boys from
Neosho: county, attending the
different educational institutions of
the state and of course about seven
ty-fve of these, should be at the
agricultural college, preparing for
scientific farming. Are they there?
In fact do you know of solitary
young man from this county attend
ing school at Manhatten? There
are perhaps three or four but there
should be more. One of the troub-
les with the young man of to-day is
too many of them are hunting snaps
they must be bookkeepers, clerks,
doctors, lawyers, preachers, school
teachers, any old thing besides
farmers and yet they want to live in
Kansas where at least three-fourthS
of them should be farmers; this is
one reason why there is so much
poor farming done in Kansas. A
fellow will try everything else and
if he finds himself failure will go
to farming as matter Of necessity.
We have some good farmers and
some not so good; what we need is
more first class farmers; teach your
boys that farming is all right; that
they make more money and have
bigger bank accounts of their own
moneythan the merchants, and sleep
better of nights. Teach them that
it is just as honorable to be farm
er as to be anything else; that many
of the dudish young fellows whom
they see smoking cigarettes wher
they come to town, owe for theil
clothes, possibly owe the laundry
man for doing up that "boiled'
shirt and owe the jeweler for thu
Alaska diamond which adorns it
bosom. Farming is all right wher
properly carried on and while farm
ers feel that they have had run o
hard luck for the past few years, We
merchants have faired no better

A number of men in the PennSyl-
vania districts went on strike few
days ago because their wages were
not raised from S2.25 to S2.5o per
day and every little 2X4 newspaper,
many of whose proprietors don't
clear $2.25 per month, shed croco-
ollie tears and wrote half column ar
ticles about rhe strike and the down
trodden laborers and a lot of 2X4
statesmen whose wives make thelf
living washing, read the articles and
shed gallons of tears of sympathy
for the down trodden. tits all bCsh
for lot of little one-horse papers to
keep bowling about the poor labor
ing man. 1t is true that times have
been hard, but there are few people
here in Kansas, who want work and
are willing to do honest work, who
are out of employment, 1t is no
trouble to find fellows who want
soft snaps, but it is matter of
daily occurrence to hear business
men speak of work they would have
done if they could only find an old
fashioned man who was willing to
90 ahead and do the work without
the proprietor being compelled to
stand around and direct just where
and how each nail be driven or take
hold and do two-t thirds of the work
himself. There are plenty of good
honest professional men in each
line, but occasionally an all around
man is wanted, one who can dig
post holes, set posts, put up fence
or build pig pen or calf shed--we
used to have such fellows, where
are they now?
