western Kansas it's mission is to
furnish seeds for experimental pur-

forage ia q semi-arid region. These
experiments are to be made this year
with salt bush, vetch and similar
plants. Ordinarily these expert
ments are made only at government
experimental stations. But congress
man Long is taking an active interest
IN the subject and has finally sue
ceeded in inducing the department
20 furnish forty farmers in the west
ern part of the district with seeds
for the experiment. These farmers
must agree to follow the directions
of the department and report results.
Mr.. Long is taking steps to learn
who are willing to undertake these
experiments. The agricultural de-

The proposed management, for one
week, of the Topeka Capital. by Rev.
Chas. M. Sheldon, who will conduct tile
paper the lines laid down by him in
his story of .sWhat would Jesus do?''
has attracted the attention of the entire
country. Much criticism. favorable and
otherwise has been given, but the pre-
ponderance of testimony is favorable to
the experiment. The proposition has
developed attention TO the character of
the press, and will no doubt lead to fur
ther experiments in conducting news
papers on the gospel plan proposed by
Mr. Sheldon.
The press of the county has improved
greatly in moral tone within the past
twenty years, and this Improvement is
noted. Whether Mr. Sheldon succeeds
or not in realizing his expectations, in
SO short time, will nor disproYe his
theory. The people will not be slow to
accep. the suggestion that still higher
plane of moral conduct in the manage
ment of newspapers is needed.
Mr. Sheldon has newspaper ex-
perience, and his success will be guided
solely by the regular force on the
paper. But the preacher, who follows
very much the same course the editor,
will have a better advantage to guide
public sentiment than person who has
had no experience in either preaching or
editing. There people who believe
they can discount the preacher and the
editor, too. in the discharge of the duties
which each follow. The office of preach
| er and the office of editor are caiIings
| not dissimilar in many respects. No
| radical change can come about in. the
conduct of secular newspaper, no more
than could a radical change De made in

Until the world is fully given up to the
| thought and line of action proposed BY
| the author of I'm His Steps," can such
things be accomplished. It is the tend
ency of the time to moralIZe and christ

can be wrought if nothing is done towards

The Farmers and Expansion.


Anti-expansionists are using an
argument which they imagine wilt
have great weight with the western
farmers. The inhabitants of the
Philippines and other Oriental coun-
tries, they point out, are rice eaters
and care nothing either for the grain
or meat that we produce. Our trade
with those countries. therefore, will
be limited to the products of our
factories, and our farming interests
will not be benefited in the least.
This kind of reasoning sounds
plausible. perhaps, and it may in
fuence farmers who .do not go deep
fy enough into the subject to sec the
error. Even if it were true that none
of our grain or cattle will find q
market among the Filipinos and
Chinese, it does not follow that our
farmers would not be benefited by
| the extension of trade in that quarter.
The more goods we manufacture and
export, the more home labor will be
employed in our factories and mills,
and the greater and more profitable
will be the home market for our
|
which has always been and may al
ways be their main dependence.
But the fact that the people of the
Orient do not eat American meat
and grain is no conclusive reason
why they never will. They have not
eaten them chiefly because they have
not had them to eat. It has been
been shown by experiments that
whenever the Asintics have an op-
portupity to iconsume wheat -four
they do SO without hesitation and
like it. IF it could be supplied to
} them readily and at n fair price they
/ undoubtedly would soon become ac-
customed to its use and regard it as
a necessity, as they now do rice
And the same is true, in greater or
E less degree, of our meats and many
, other products.
It is estimated that two-thirds of
the people of the world subsist on
foodstuffs of kind not produced in
the United States. IF that is true,
then two-thirds Of the world's popula-
, :, ton are possible customers of our
. Western farmers, and expansion
