So many have asked this question
that it seems worth while to answer it,
and this is the answer:
The Pima Indians are the. one tribe
known to history that seemed really
to care for agriculturs: When the
white man came to Arizona these In
dians occupied the Gila valley, and
we've raising sufficient crops by irriga-
ton TO support themselves. They re-
manned self-supporting from. .that.time
until about a year ago, when so many
white people came into their valley
above them that water from the ella
river was all used mp befors it re irhed
the Indians fields. The result waseX--

prevent them from actual starvation.

provided, however, the entire tribe

GOOD INVESTMENTS FOR EVERY
RODN

1t will probably be accepted without
argument that the growth of lola dur
ing the past five years has, been di-
rect benefit to every farmenin Allen
county. 1t has not only furnished a
better and larger market for his pro-
dure, but it has increased the value
of his farm, and made it much easier
to find a purchaser in case he wanted
to sell 1t is certainly true that every
new house built in lola, every stride
taken by this town toward the rank of
Il city, and particularly every shik-
ing public Improvement is a direct
benefit to every man in the county who
owns real estate or sells produce.
one of the reasons this is true, is
that the idea which stranger gets OF
the county is formed very largely by
the impression made upon him by the
county seat. Let man land In "a
ramshackle, weed-grown, unpainted
town, and he is but little tempted to
drive out into the country, no matter
how well improved the farms may be.
He naturally supposes that the town
is a reflection of the county.
And all of these things are reasons
why the citizens of Allen county who
live outside of lola are directly and
financially interested in the erection
of new court house. lola is fine
looking town now, and makes good
impression on strangers. But it will
look a lot finer with u handsome and
substantial court house in the middle
of the square. 1t would add just the
one touch that is now needed to show
to every visitor that it is the seat OF
a substantial, prosperous and pro-
gressive community, a community
that has faith in its country and is
here to stay, community that has

lola in Pretty Good Company

The TT. Scott Tribpne tells this
story of II stranger gith money TO
burn, who wasuRcertain whether lola,
New York, New Orleans or San
Francisco offered the greatest sport;
yesterday afternoon IA stranger
appeared at the Missouri, Pacific de-
pot and questioned Baggage-Master
Cooper, who was in charge of the
ticket Office at that time, about the
fare to st. Louis, Buffalo and New
York. Then he inquired about the
fare to LMluth, Des Moines. San
Francisco and remained there an hour
and "a half, not knowing where he want
ed to go. Finally he concluded to go
to lola, but shortly he became unset
tied again and went TO talking about
an s.the-continent trip. He did
not buy but was again at the station
last evening shortly before train time
and after deciding to buy IA ticket for
tirst one point in the east and then an
other in the west, finally bought to
New York city, He seemed to want
to go somewhere just to get his mon
ey's worth.

noticed Croker on a divan 10y himself,
and thinking it a good opportunity to
get acquainted with him | asked a
Tammany man to take me up and in
troduce me. Theman shifted uneasily,
glanced at Croker and said, so wal
awhile; he will come down this way
presently" Pretty soon | made the
same request of another man, and got
substantially the same reply. AT
last / went to Al Lewis Dan Quinn,
who used to work on the Kansas City
papers when White did,, and said to
him. Al, take me over and introduce
me to the Chief "Why don't youask
some of the rest of the fellows?"
Il have asked two or three of them
and they won'tIdo it, He laughed
and said, "Do you know why?"
told him no. "Well," he said, sit
isn't court etiquet. When the Chief
goes of and sits down by himself one
Of the unwritten rules off the court is
that nobody is to disturb him. But
these fellows regard me as sort of
cross between COW boy and an In
dian, and they don't hold me up to
the standard they set for themselves.
I'll introduce you" And so he took
me up and introduced me. The old
man received me very cordially, and
really seemed glad to have me come.
OF course the Tammany theory is that
when the Chief goes Oft and sits down,
= is to mediate, and he is therefore
not to be disturbed. AS matter OF
fact he doubtless goes OF to rest his
feet. And he feels blue and lonesome.
There are two things that Croker
never forgives, one is lying and the
other is drunkenness. 81 give every
man one chance to be my friend; |
never given any man two chances, he
said to me. The reason he will not
forgive drunkenness or lying, is not
because of any moral sentiment, but
simply because he knows ne cannot
rustaliar or drunkard." 1t is an
story, and it has a moral

WHITE ON CROKER.

What William Allen White, Of Elm
poria, said in McClure's Magazine
about Richard Croker, OF New York,
excited comment in all the leading
papers OF the country. But what
White didn't say of Croker in Me
Clures Magazine is quite as interest
ing. He said it to some friends at
Topeka Kansas Day something after
thisfashion:
81 went with two friends to take
dinner at the DemocraticClub. There
we're at least forty or fifty men at the
tables scattered about the great gaudy
room, and as they were all talking
and eating, with the walters moving
about among them Gathering the
dishes. there was considerable noise.
Suddenly the noise ceased The
walters stood still where they hap
pened to,be. The conversation stop

Croker, and until he reached his ac.
customed table and was seated, not Il
word was uttered in the room nor an

PAPERoF ALLEN COUNTY
PUBLIC SENTIMENT; NOT
HATCHETS.

In the long run It does not pay to
violate one law in order to enforce
another.
That was demonstrated at Winfield
last week. One day man DESTROYED
keg OF whiskey in the railroad de-
pot. The next day the brother of that
man was assaulted in a Joint The
day following the jointwas smashed.
The night after that church was
wrecked. That does not make pleas
ant reading. If similar program
should be enacted in every Kansas
town, who can believe that the net re-
suit would be to advance the cause of
temperance and law enforcement
The cause of temperance is in its
very essence the cause of law and
order. The advocates of prohibition
have from the beginning planted
themselves on the indisputable prom
osition that the law should be en-
forced. For them to take any other
ground now, will in the end weaken
and not strengthen their cause. There
is no logic which can controvert the
simple proposition of loyalty to the
law, whether one personally approves
of the law or not. And the advocates
OF prohibition abandon their strongest
position, their impregnable fortress
when they say eve will set aside the
courts and the processes of the law
and execute judgment with our own
hands"
The apparent success of the Nation
plan, in closing up the saloons and |
striking terror to the hearts of those |
who kept then, seems to have blinded .
the judgment of many earnest men and
women. The incidents at Winfield |
should suffice to restore them. I'm
lawful means may gain "a lawful end !
once or twice or a score of times, lust
as unlawful means may gain an un.
lawful end once or twice or score of
times. But continuous victories for
the right cannot be gained by unlaw-
ful means any more than can con-
cause of temperance cannot in the end
be advanced by Incorporate methods.
When the Winfield joint was wrecke
it was only by the narrowest chance
that two or three persons were not
killed. Surely no one who is sane
and who really has the cause of tenn
perance at heart can for a moment
give his approval TO course of con
duct which involves even the remotest
possibility of resulting in murder.
Mrs. Nations hatchet has undoubt-
eddy wrought the good result of con-
attention on the temper
ance question, and has done much to
arouse public sentiment. But it has
reached the utmost limit OF its useful
ness. TO continue its use means an
inevitable reaction Of public senti-
ment, and then retaliation, as at Win
field, and then the enforcement of the
prohibitory law is farther away than
it was in the beginning.
Public sentiment can ruin the saloon |
business in Kansas; hatchets cannot. /

One of the most helpful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that entitled "Nerve Waste," by Dr.. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in it's fifth thou sand. This work of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable contrast to the vast sum of false teach ing which prevails on this important subject. It abOunds in carefully con sidered and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sincerity.
 It. is endorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Ad- vance says: "A perusal of the book and the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thou sands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment"
