The Race Problem.

Certain yellow sheets and demo
cratic politicians are trying to MAKE
political capital out Of President
Roosevelt's invitation to Booker 7
Washington to lunch at the White
House, and consult with some friends
on the race problem.
Booker T. Washington is the repre-
sentative OF the colored race, says the
Leavenworth Times. He has shown
by bis ability that he is one Of the
able men Of the country and his
opinions on matters concerning bis
race are worthy ofgreat consideration
by any student or official who il
undertaking to elevate the colored
people Of this country.
The president rightly called him
into consultation. He above all
other men, should have been heard,
He has done more for the colored
people than any single individual Of
his race and has devoted bis life tC
studying their conditions and environ
ments.
Any effort to construe this consul
tation into anything prejudicial te
the president or the colored people
should be met with contempt. The
president is earnest in his efforts tC
benefit the colored people Of the
country and any attempt to cast re-
flections on bis work should not b
tolerated. The race problem is ont
which is attracting the attention mol
only Of the people Of this country
but Of the foreign countries as we'll

commended for the business like man.

problem. That he will settle 1t salts.

Socialism Breeds Them,

Marion Record: For ten years the
Record has been insisting that social.
ism is the twin to anarchy. All this
time its advocates have been alter
nately ridiculing and denouncing this
proposition. Just now they are es.
pccially busy in "explaining" that
socialism is the reverse Of anarchy
that socialism stands for more law
while anarchy is opposed to all law.
Technically they are right, practical
ly they are wrong. In theory, social.
ism and anarchy are widely divergent.
In practice, they sustain the relation
OF cause and effect. Socialism seeks
to overthrow our whole social and
economic system. 1t denies the
right o. property. 1t embitters PEG.
pie BY attributing all our woes to the
competitive system, when the fact is
most OF our virtues and growth we
owe to the stimulous Of that system.
Socialism sours people, and fits them
for the next step-anarchy. First a
socialist, then an anarchist-that is
the order Of progressing. Did you
ever hear Of an anarchist who wasn't
irst a socialist Socialism breeds
bitter discomfort. Bitter discomfort
breeds anarchists. Socialism is the
seed. Anarchy is the ripened fruit.
Let no one be deceived by the
sophistries Of socialists for socialism
and anarchy are twins.

Not being q great naval expert,
ourself, we have been somewhat at q
loss to know how Admiral Schley won
that victory unless he signaled some
OF the other battleships or gave some
orders Of some sort to somebody, and
our wonder increased when Bob
Evans, and Wainwright and others
testified that they received no orders
from him, and now we are still further
perplexed by the testimony Of the
captain Of his own flagship, the
Brooklyn, who says he himself is
responsible for the famous "loop."
II Schley didn't even command his
own flagship, how did he win that
victory viii that jolly old tar, our
great naval friend Strother, Of the
News, furnish his log SO to speak on
the subject.

Anarchy, Trusts and Strikes.

The death Of the president has re.
suited in much speculation and sug-
gestion about stamping out anarchy
by legislation. There is unani-
nous sentiment that congress should
attempt it, but as the Indignation oil
the people becomes less impetuous
there is much hesitation in some
quarters about such actions being in
conformity to the constitution and in
accord with the policy Of govern
ment Of free speech-a government
founded upon the consent Of the gov.
erned.
To meet such questions DR.. Blay-
ney presched an able sermon at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morn
ing, setting forth certain fanda'
mental propositions Of truth which
many Of US are forgetting in the
swiitness Of the present day life.
Eliminating the physical laws, which
execute themselves, and the spiritual
laws, which belong to God and eterni-
ty, the Doctor said that government
based upon the consent Of the gov.
erned must rest upon moral law and
its proper application to the moral
rights and duties Of morally RESPONSE
Bile beings. In support Of this propo-
sition, he gave the following reasons;
1.-THE state is made up Of beings
conditioned by moral laws affecting
all actions and all character, which
cannot lie set aside, abrogated or
neglected without penalty, therefore
the resultant state must be condi-
toned by these same laws and their
requirements.
"The state is morally bound to
measure all It's freedom and limit all
its restrictions by the moral law in
order to secure and require strict
moral development Of powers and
faculties.
1.-THE state must accordingly regu-
late action by a common moral
standard within reach OF all.
"This moral standard is a safe
standard. 1t is within the field Of
investigation and Of evidence.
1.-The moral can be distinguished
from the immoral by its certain ef'
feet on life, character, strength,
beauty, the one always building up,
the other tearing down.
"No mutual agreement TO self dcstr''c-
ton of life, health, character, privilege
or property can Statd'
The argument is conclusive and
meets the hesitation Of the times in a
convincing manner. 1t covers more
questions than that Of anarchy. The
anarchist needs the lesson not more
than do the yellow journals, trusts
and strikes.

Differentiation Of Sex.

Editor Murdoch says in the Eldora-
do Republican, "Were it not for
women, there would be no churches.
We're the social standards recognized
BY men alone permitted to prevail,
the world would be burned in a pit
OF hell in week."
A pretty strong criminal indict-
ment against man to which be would
probably enter denial. But it
opens an interesting subject OF
thought. Probably human nature
is identical, regardless Of sex, and
woman is purer and better than man
because Of being isolated SO largely
from contact with the wickedness Of
the world and shielded from multi
tude Of temptations that beset the
path Of man. When women have
entered into the competitive world Of
business 1t is noticeable that they
are actuated by about the same spirit
and motives as men. Where interest.
ed in political affairs their party feel.
ings and contentious are as promi-
nent as with the "lords OF creation. "
Among savage peoples the women ex.
eel In savage vindictiveness towards
enemies, and after the civil war the
women were more implscable, and
harder to reconcile than the men.
The finer instincts, purer minds and
higher IDEALS Of women are probably
more matter Of development from
training and circumstances Of en-.
vironment, than Of sex endowment.

Topeka Herald. Democratic pa
pers like the Kansas City Times are
assuming that the Republicans Of
Kansas are scared because the Repub-
lican state officials are enforcing the
law on fusion Ballots. The Times
says; "The Republicans are anxious
to defeat fusion because they are
afraid Of their own record and dare
not trust il to the people in an open
fight. With their scandals, their
defunct treasury and their internal
strife, they know that their chances
for success in 1902 are impaired, and
the hope to improve the situation by
preventing q coalition between the
Democrats and Populists."
There never was anything more
corrupt or demoralizing to the public
than fusion has been in Kansas. 1t
has resulted in the Democrats and
Populists ignoring the principles Of
their respective parties and the CEN
trail committees meeting for the pur-
pose Of dividing the offices. The de.
feat Of Republicanism has been sought
purely and solely to satisfy the am.
bilious members Of these parties for
lucrative official positions. Neither
Of the fusion parties has felt that it
was responsible to the pecp'e and
a fusion victory never means an
endorsement Of Democracy or Popu.

fairs Of the state or nation Offering an
excuse for the continuance OF the
party OF fusion, detraction and defam-

era Of prosperity never before exceed
ed BY any western state. What we
want Is the confidence Of investors
that the success Of the Republican
party always brings to the State. We
want continued development com.

A Farmer.


the Eagle office yesterday to "see the
editor" He was a farmer from Sum.
ner county. He has been in these
parts for thirty years. Those thirty
years he has devoted to two things
rearing family and building up an
estate. As his boys have grown up
they have acquired adjoining land,
until the family now owns vast
tract.
As the farmer went on telling Of
what had been accomplished in thirty
years by him and bis fellow settlers,
the thought came and the wonder II
anywhere in all the world in thirty
years any community had prospered
as much, so generally, sosurely, with
such certain prospects Of continued
increment in worldly goods, as his
section OF Kansas.
This farmer, M. H. Kibbe, said
among other things these:
"At this time you will find smany
people in the cities signing for farms.
Why notP Nothing equals farm.
1t always has market. Its margins
Of profit are not as pinching as the
margins in mercantile lines.
There are poor farmers and poor
farms. All said and done, the farm
Is the mantle man makes the farm.
1--WE have had ten years OF big
wheat yields. A man can count on
eight dollars from the acre. Bar
bugs, and we will have another big
wheat crop next year. The present
set is magnificent. The weather is
warm, the fields are growing rapidly.
That means pasture, pasture worth
q an acre. That is gift from Ma
ture.
depend upon IT, the Kansas farmer
has learned the lesson Of debt. Kan
sas for ten years has been school,
Now the Kansas farmer has not learn
ed to run from q mortgage, as some
think. He appreciates as much as
any business man the advantage Of
borrowed money. But be has learned
the business lesson that money Dor.
rowed must be put in an investment
that will yield the interest and the
principal back again and profit He
has learned to buy yearlings whose
value doubles in year with borrowed
money. He has learned not to buy
organs, silk dresses with borrowed
money, not to eat and live it up.

times. 1t is better not to do so. The
thing to do is to 60 slow, to stop
costly improvements, cease to beauti.
iy and ornament and iortiiy yourself
for the squeeze.
"As for drouths, when they come,
accept them. Put away tho hope
that was vain; forget the anticipation
that didn't pan out. 1t is the easiest
way.
