From ''BIue Grass in Kansas Magazine
Grass is the forgiveness OF nature
her constant benedictiOn. Fields
tampled with battle saturated with
blood torn with rusts of cannon. grow
green again with grass. and carnage
* FORGOTTEN. Streets abandoned by
traffic become grass-grOwn like rural
lanes, and are obliterated Forests
decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish
but grass is immortal. Beleaguered
by the sullen host of winter. il with
draws into the impregnable fortress
of its subterranean vitality, and
energies upon the first solicitation OF
spring Sown by the winds, by
wandering birds, propagated by the
subtle horticulture of the elements
which are its ministers and servants.
1t softens the rude outline of the
world. Its tenacious tibers hold the
earth in its place, and prevent its
soluble compOnents from washing
into the wasting sea. 1t invades the
solitude OF deserts. climbs the mae
cessible slopes and forbidding pima
cles of mountains, modifies climates.
and determines the history, charac-
ter and destiny of nations. CnOb-
trusive and patient, it has immortal
vigor and aggression. Banished
from the thorOughfare and the field,
it bides its time to return. and when
vigilance is relaxed, or the dynasty
has persisted, it silently resumes the
throne from which it has been ex-
PEELED but which it never abdicates.
1t bears no blazonry of bloom to
charm the senses. fragrance or splen-
dor, but its homely hue is more en-
chanting than the lily or the rose.

year, famine would depopulate the

Summers Noted Biographer
Declares Openly for BRYAN
and Stevenson.
IMPERIALISM THE ISSUE.
Man Who Refused Il Presidential Nom
indtion Declares That the Exist
cnce of the RcpubIc Is
Threatened

Boston, sept. 19.-Moorfeli Sto-
rey OF Boston, i the latest recruit 10
the democratic ranks. Mr.. STOREY i
a successful lawyer. bu. i best known
as sumner biographor and for the
reason that he refused the presiden
tial nomination AT the indianapolis
convention this year. To-day he
came out squareIv for Bryan and
stevenson.
Mr. Storey says that Imperialism
is the only issue III this campaign.
Il am not disturbed, he said. by
Mr.. Bryan : course at liberalization
OF the treaty with Spain. His posi-
ton was explained at the time and
is entirely deiensib!e The treaty
gave Us absolute power over the
philippines. and the republican sell
ators who urged ratification were ar
-uing that it ended the war without
in any way committing Us To any
course III these islands Mr.. Bryan
urged ratification. coupled with dec
Iaration OF our purpose to give them
their independence, and his policy
was that often adopted by the anti
slavery men who would buy slave
ard then free him instead of trying
to persuade his master 10 free him.
Had Mr. Bryan advice been ia
ken there would have been no Phil
ippine war, and the issue which
makes his election possible would
not have existed. Hence there seems
no ground for charging him with
acting from Interested motives in
the matter
The republican leaders are trying
to stitie the conscience OF their fol-
lowers by appealing to their fear OF
pecuniary loss. We did not aban-
don the revolutionary war because
our continental currency became
proyerbially worthless, nor did the
fear OF business reverses prevent our
prosecuting the civil war. The
American people will be less virtuous
than their fathers if they persevere
in policy of wrong for fear that
they may lose money by doing right.
The cry that the only issue is the
full dinner pail is an insult TO the
American intellect and conscience.
| Other false arguments against Mr..
Bryan are that he will pack the su-
preme court.
Il yield TO no one in Jealous solici-
tude for that great tribunal, but the
president alone cannot in lure it. He
can, at most. nominate Judges when
| vacancies occur. but no man can take
d seat on the bench till the senate
has confirmed his nomination. 4
republican senate which rejected such
| excellent nominees as Mr.. Horn
| blower and Mr. Peckham, when
named by Mr.. Cleveland, is not likely
to confirm unfit men nominated by
Mr. Bryan.

 For the quarter mile running race, three eights mile running race, and the half mile event, there will be fro n five to seven entries each.

NationaI Irrigation Congress.

Tie holding of the National IT, rigation Congress in the East, as it turned out, was wise move. The people of that half of the country have had the subject brought home to them in a manner not otherwise possible. The far reaching impor tance of the problem has been pre- sented 10 them and a genuine inter- est has been awakened. Instead of finding opposition in the East, the Congress found that eastern men of prominence were more than interest ed in a proposition which promised an increased western population Of millions of people.
 As the "enemy's country" has been invaded, the myth of eastern oppo- sition has faded away and its people are found to be anxious to see in augurated national policy of west ern arid land reclamation.
 The western delegates went home with the feeling that they have the hearty support of eastern interests in securing action which will open to settlement half a continent, capable of supporting fifty million people, They cannot but feel that this support is growing; that it is developing into a great movement: that many people are realizing that national action would meet such 8 western development as would in- crease the national wealth beyond measure.
 The time seems fully ripe for the west to take a firm and decided stand on the question of nationa irrigation and something great may be accomplished at once. Why not It is as right that Congress should appropriate money for storage res ervoirs as for river and harbor i'm vements. The building of stor age reservoirs would obviate th, necessity for much river expenditure and would help navigation, and tn, home building area of the United States would be vastly increased And now if the West makes thi demand the East will back it uE for he benefit would not be loca Every western paper is interestet in seeing this development accom- plished. What would be the resul of an appropriation of eight or te million dollars spent annually in tn west for irrigation construction The immediate stimulation woul be enormous and the future beneG greater. This policy should be il augurated and the western pres should urge it with one voice. It a national matter; it can be produC tive only of great good; the East responsive; will the West be aggre: sive; it is time to work.
