DrOuth In Kansas.

TwO-thirds Of Kansas west of the
three easternmost tiers of counties is
experien ing one of the most severe
droughts in the history of the State
and the general opinion is that the
Kansas corn crop will be the smallest
in proportion to its requirements for
feeding that has been raised in many
years. In 1899 it was estimated on Au-
gust as 145, O00, 900 bushels. Since
then there has been two weeks of hot,
dry weather aud the most liberal esti-
mates of well informed men do not ex-
coed 100. OOO, 900 bushels, while many
place the crop at not over $4,000, 600
bushels. The blowing for winter wheat
is delayed by the dry condition of the
soil.

A Plain Statement From j. w. Bailey
He Takes 1t as an Honor to he Opposed
by Joe Daniels.
biblical Recorder, Aug. %, 1909
One of the partisan papers Is desper-
ately anxious to create the impression
that the editor of the Recorder is allied
with another party. The reason is
this That paper objects to our demand
that the race issue shall be relegated
now that the Amendment is passed
That paper wants tolkeep up Red Shirt
ism, ballot box frauds, suppression Of
free spsech and general terror. We do
not. And we mnst pay the usual pen
atty of opposing it, namely, to be vi
ciOusly denOminated IN various ways.
That papers method is to quote from
our files, which we were not afraid to
place in its hands, certain utterances
which it puts together and claims to
represent our whole policy. The injus-
tice is plain. The Recorder is indepen
dent and liberal in it's treatment of
events 1t can not occupy the partisan
view of hold that all the men in all the
parties but one are worthy of scOrn and
contumely 1t can not refuse to hope
that every man is capable of good. And
so, from our columns these last three
years, we would be heartily ashamed if
an intelligent man could not select ut
terances representing many points of
view. But to make a mosaic of such Ut
terances, to make them Overshadow all
the rest, to quote an utterance Of 1898
with one of 1900, without word as to
events and transformations interven-
ing, is neither right nor reasonable. 1t
may be honest to man who has pecu-
liar views on that subject, but not 9TH
erwise. We are willing to leave such
questions to our readers who have read
all we have said But we deny conclu-
sions made to order by an enemy. t. e
same method applied to the Bible
would destroy every doc. rine of our re-
ligion. But remember that the motive
of this attack is our desire to relegate
the race issue as promis d, and that
this other matter is introduced to wea-
ken our position aud to divert atten-
ton from the real issue at stake. If
any one asks what are the politics of
the Recorder, please tell him that r ght
now it is fighting for The free schools,
the voluntary principle, reiegation of
the race issue, fair elections, free
speech, better feeling between all men,
and general righteousness And if any
one expresses regret that the paper is
being attacked, tell them that the edi-
tor would not edit a paper that did C r
ry the approval of tn. man who is fight
ing him, and that in his opinion man
who would IS not fit t. conduct relia-
ious paper So far as we have seen eve
ry religious paper in North Carolina.
certainly the Presbyterian, the Raleigh
Advocate and the Christian Sun, hold
as we do that the race issue must be
relegated now that the amendment
has been ratified.

Home Governm ment to Put a Stop, to
Wholesale Emigration.
Washington, April 25.-Information
has reached Washington to the effect
that the japanese government itself,
and without waiting request from the
United States, is about to take steps to
restrict the immigration of Japanese
coolies to the United States. 1t is as
serted that the figures relative to this
immigration have been magnifed and
that, as q matter Of fact, there are now
not more than about $4,000 or 10000
Japanese within the limits of the Uni
ted States, outside of Hawaii. 1t is
said that such emigration as has lately
occurred has resulted entirely from the
competition of the two great Japanese
immigration societies; that the labor
ers have been practically brought here
under the delusion that there were'un.
told opportunities for work at great
wages. The japanese government is
interested in protecting it's people from
hardships resulting from such. imposi-
tions, and that is the reason it intends
to establish restrictions upon the out
ward flow.

DAMAGE BY FOREST FIRES

Much Timber Destroyed and Probably
Lives Lost.
Winnipeg, Man., April 24.-Exag-
gerated reports of heavy loss of life by
forest fires in the southeastern portion
of the province are denied. A special
train from the scene of the confagra-
ton today brings news that much val
liable wood and timber has been de-
stroyed, but there has been no loss OF
life. Another story says:
"Fires along the southeastern region
are still raging. The entrapped spe-
cial train succeeded in breaking through
the flames, and arrived this morning.
Brought in with it were several strag-
gle1s, found in a desperate condition
near Vassar These fugitives lost
everything. All tell thrilling stories
of escape from death.
"Besides immense quantities of lum-
ber and wood, two large lumb bering out
fits are known to be burned. The driv-
ers and bushmen have scattered in all
directions, and out of 200 only about
80 are known to have reached a place
of safety. The fatalities will not be
known until the contractors can call
the roll of their men. The total loss
is estimated at ST, 900, 000."
