OUR LATEST VICTORY.
THE GRANDEST CONTEST in
tho b;etOr,- Of ;n+arra+iora I

Il III NAAaAA4N AtA1ADA ~ L LIZ Il IL
the history of international
yacht races has been concluded
and the bit of silver over the posses
sion of which the yachtsmen of two
nations have expended so much
money, energy and inventive genius
has been saved to America.
All the races were closely and
gamely contested, but the last was
won by the narrowest margin. 1t
must have been a heart-breazing de
feat for the gallant challenger. In
this race, boat for boat, his craft
had made the best time. 1t had
crossed the starting line fifteen sec
onds ahead of its opponent, but as
this time, elapsed after the firing of
the handicap gun, the gain was due
to successful jockeying, and could
not rightly be counted against Sham
rock.
It would have been more satisfy
ing to American pride had the race
been won outside handicap time. In
fact, if it were put to q vote, the ma
jority of the people in the country,
we think, would prefer to see the
handicap abolished. In its place a
limit OF measurement over all might
be established that the yacht builders
would have to confne themselves to-
If, within this limitation, a yacht
builder could design a craft capable
of carrying more sail than its adver-
sary, his boat would not be made to
suffer for the advantage his skill
had achieved. This would give fairer
test of the relative merits of the
boats and their crews
But the handicap rules are the
ones under which the race was sailed
so the Columbia is eminently entitled
to all the honor of victory. 1t is
every bit as much winner as it would
have been had it won by a mile OF
more.
Sir Thomas must return a second
time TO England without the coveted
trophy. Though Shamrock is not a
victor, she has shown herself to be
by long odds the handiest craft that
ever challenged the yachting SUI
premacy of America. She made a
splendid showing in every race, and
like her opponent, was perfectly
handled.
There we're no disputes or bicker-
ings, such as have been too often the
case IN these contests. Sir Thomas
has added to the esteem and aduira-
rion he won from Americans two
years ago. There Is no gamer loser
in the world than he. IF he decides
10 challenge again, American yachts
men viii be proud to battle with
him. And, if the cup is ever to be
lost. there Is no one to whom Ameri-
cans could lose II with better grace
than this gallant British knight.

Garrield,s Favorite Poem.

Commend me to the friend that comes
When / am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suffering of his own;
Who coldly shuns the glittering throng
At pleasures gay leVee,
And comes to gid sOmber hour
And gives his heart to me.
He flies not with the fitting stork,
That seeks a southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh. such a friend he is indeed,
Whate'er his lot may be,
rainbow in the storm of life,
An anchor on its sea.

BIC WHEAT SALE

Kansas Farmers Have Best

Mr. A. E. Harmon, owner Of the Jewett

for the Nevlins Grain company, 1909
bushels Of wheat. Seven thousand Of this
was Mr. Harmon's own crop and 5000
was the rent from his tenants This is
claimed to be the largest sale Of wheat
ever made by any farmer in Sedgwick
county at one time. Mr. Harmon is now
delivering The wheat at the rate Of 500
bushels day and it VIII take almost a
month to deliver it.
The crop Of wheat in Kansas. and par
ticalarly in this section OF it. is some
thing enormous 70 comprehend To the
owners or email farms in some OF the
eastern states. the idea of one farmer
selling 1905 bushels OF wheat VIII seem
like a fable. Six thousand bushels Of
this wheat was raised by tenants on the
farm and as the custom IS 10 pay the
landlord one-third, il means that the
tenants on the farm have 1890 bushels
Of wheat to sell TO Mr.. Nevlng or some
other grain buyer.
Owing TO the light corn crop this year
il was a fortunate thing for Kansas that
she got this unusually large crop Of
wheat Farmers ore discovering that
wheat makes a mighty nice feed for
stock and thousands Of bushels Of the
surplus crop OF this state viii be dis
posed OF in that way. Owing TO the dry
weather the wheat was saved in abso-
lutely sound condition and the buyers

WASHINGTON AVENUE TROUBLE
Statements 37ade by some of the Par
ticfDants

terday 10 the Eagle in regard TO the case.
He said Il feel that / have been pre-
scented in a mistaken and unfortunate
light 10 the public. As a man 1 have
gone through life without trouble; I have
been hOnored by appointment TO public
place in my time and have had the es-
TEEN of my fellow citizens, I believe
wherever my residence has been. Now
in some mysterious way which j am not
really able to fathOm, / have been pulled
into this quarrel. I have offered no prov
ocation- I have done nothing that ! am
ashamed of or regret I am anxious
that the case shall be tried in court and
not through indiscriminate talk and inn
pressi0ns which get into the newspapers.
Mrs. Young yesterday made this state
ment 10 the Eagle: The paper says that
Mrs. Hart has made complaint TO the po-
lice that her next door neighbOr sings all
day u annoy Mr. Hart. / suppose she
means me. want it understood that
] have not sought TO annoy Mr. and Mrs.
Hart. that ] have not sung an day in or
der TO annoy her husband. Probably I
have hummed at times while at my
household work. but It IS false that
have done that to annoy any one. 7 deny
and resent the charge"
