Gov. STANLEY said in his inaugural
speech-"Kansas toilers-on the.farm
in the work shops, at the bench, on
the railroad, behind the counter, and
in the mines are prosperous, con-
tented and happy" II this is true
it reflects much credit on the Leedy
administration; for no such condi
tion ever existed before in Kansas.
1t may be true, but the gold tongued
sophist could not convince the farmer
who has lost his farm after life
time effort to save it; or the railroad
man who is obliged to work every
day in the year to support his family.
1t is the new governors lifetime

The deciding vote which declared
the income tax law unconstitu,ion i
was cast by Judge Shirss who wrote
the opinion reversing Judge M4rtin's
redemption law decision. Both of
these opinions we're due to his polit-
ical bias. If the graduated income
tax law could have been enacted the
greatest burden of taxation would
have been taken from the shoulders
of the oppressed, who have 10 sup
port the government whether they
have any income or not, and would
have been placed upon those who are
daily becoming enriched. It is se-
rious defect in our system of govern
ment that one politically prfjudiced
Judge can countermand the request
as made by their represeL tatives-
of q whole people.

Dreyfus May Be Released.

PARASITIC Matin and the Gaulis
say they understand that the inquiry
of the court of cessation into the Drey-
fus case is on the point of terminating
and that the court will probably report
that the acts of treason actually occur
ed, but that sufficient proof of the
guilt Of Dreyfus does not exist. and
tina. his sentence, therefore, is quashed.
The papers add that there will be a
fresh court-martisl.
Dreyfus, it appears, was informed
of the revision proceedings 5ome time
ago, but is under the impression that
they are due to the initiative of the
general staff, and in his letter the
prisoner thanks General Boisdeffre,
the former chief of the general staff
and his comrades of the army for the
action taken.

thinks that If Col. Bryan would re-

Adhere 10 the Popu,,.t PLATFORM

Demand currency issued by the
government and not by banks.
Demand free coinage of silver and
gold and paper. To all patriotic
citizens the government stamp is
valid, whatever. be the material it is
placed upon.
Increase the amount Of money
gradually in proportio to the ir-
crease of population and business.
No abrupt changes in amount or
value of currency or commodities.
No Increase OF interest bearing
puolic debt. Issue money instead of
bonds. What is the difference ex-
cept that the government must pay
interest on bonds and this gives
money lenders prolific source of
i0come?
The government should use its op-
tion as to the kind of money with
which to pay it's obligations. None
should be allowed to demand gold
and thus create abnormal demand for
and raise the price of that metal.
Eventually there must be gradu-
ated income tax. This will at once
furnish revenue for the govern
ment, prevent evil of special tariff
legislation and most important of all
prevent the accumulation of the
wealth in the hapds of the few. 1t

Considering the gain of lot 1, fed on

of lot 5, fed on Kaffir corn meal alone,
and taking the price of pork at 8 cents
and Kafir corn meal at SO cents per
cwt. the alfalfa hay made a saving
which made it worth $500 per ton.
Or, in other words, by feeding 81 lbs.
Of alfalfa hay along with each bushel
of Kaffir corn cents per bushel was
realized from the Kaf1ir corn. On the
SINE line of figuring, the soy bean
meal was worth $35 per ton. These
figures must be taken with due allow
ance until repetitions of the expert
ment give more extensive data to
Judge from. 1t is not to be under
stood that the value is in the little al
falfa added, but it enabled the pig to
utilize the Kaffir corn to that much
better advantage.
The alfalfa hay fed in our expert
meEt was from the fourth cutting ano
was fine and green and j ist the quail
ity for the purpose. SIX pounds are
fed night and morning and little
over half is eaten. We charged the
pigs with all that was fed. The hay
is fed III large fat trough and the
meal from separate trough from the
grain, and both are fed dry.
The feeding of alfalfa hay to shoats
and brood sows is no new thing to
many Kansas farmers, and many have
reported astonishing results, and few
have fed it to fattening hogs; but Kan
sas has yet to realize its great value
for this purpose, and We hope to fully
bring this out in future experim ents
The results given of the present exper-
iment cover only thirty five days, and
for that time hogs will do fairly well
on corn and water alone but from now
on their gains will not be so good, and
at the end Of another FIVE we. ks the
results In favor of the alfal "a fed WI
be sti greater. II the shoafs weigh
ing IS lbs. had been used in the exper
iment the alfalfa would have been of
still greater value.
When many farmers state that they
are realizing from forty to fifty dol
lars per acre year from their alfalfa
they are ridiculed by many but this
is not at all impossible on small
amount if it is utilized properly.
This winter thousands of bushels of
high priced corn is being saved from
going into low priced hogs by rough
ing the hogs through on alfalfa hay
and corn.
