TUEsDAY,s ELECTIONs.

Eleven states held elections Tues
day; in ten of them state officers were
elected, and there were several i'm
portant legislative contests.
Following is list of the states voting
and the officers elected:
Iowa-State and legislature.
Nebraska Supreme court judge,
university regents.
Ohio-State and legislature.
New York-Mayor New York and
Pennsylvania-Judge supreme court,
state treasurer.
Maryland Treasurer and legisla-
ture.
Massachusetts, State and Iegisla-
ture.
Rhode Island-State and legislature.
Virginia State and legislature.
New Jersey-State and legislature.
Mississippi Secretary of state and
treasurer.
In New York the mayOrality contest,
in Pennsylvania the anti-Quay, in
Maryland the return of German to the
United States senate, and in Nebraska
practically, the endorsement of Bryan
were the leading issues. Ohio has also
furnished the basis for the convention
hall guessing contest.

taxes while the homes Of the poor are
exempt.
Recently a company of capitalists,
composed principally of American
attempted to corner corn
in Mexico. They had it bought up
all right, but their operations were
closely watched by the government.
Corn is a staple food supply Of the
poorer classes IN Mexico, and dear
corn would cause much distress and
possibly starvation among them.
When the design Of this syndicate
became apparent, President Diaz, by
proclamation, took off the tariff duties
on corn and wheat, and recommended
to congress to buy corn at the sea ports
and ship it to the interior by rail as
government supplies to be sold out to
the people at cost. The syndicate was
eheckmated and the people protected.
In the handling Of such question as
combinations to squeeze the people,
trusts, corporations and taxation Mex
leo is in advance Of the United States.
The American people are robbed of
billions of dollars annually by the
trusts and they seem to like it.

LANDS 1NcREAs1NG IN VALUE

Sherman county is attracting many
settlers and land buyers who come
here because of the openings for men
of small means to secure homes and
establish themselves in the cattle and
stock growing industry. The advan-
tages offered here are unexceIled by
any section in the west and people are
beginning to find this out.
In the first place there are no waste
lands in Sherman county, no sand
stretches, no hard pan, no gumbo; but
the surface is smoother and more uni
form in soil and productiveness than
most tracts of land 30 by So miles IN
extent in all the west. This is the YER
dict Of every man acquainted with this
county and posted on western lands in
general.
The lands for sale are being taken
up rapidly and the only danger is that
large tracts are liable to be bought up
by syndicates for large ranches or pur-
| chased for purposes of speculation and
held for a rise in value. 1t is far better
for the county that the lands be held
in small tracts by actual settlers and
owners who will make their homes
here and develop the country. The
reason for this is apparent to all 1t
means more people and more trade,
and the money made here spent and
invested at home. Then, again, a well
settled country has better social con-
ditions, such as schools and churches.
| While it is welcome news to hear that
land in this county is increasing in
value, yet it is to be hoped they viii be
largely taken up by small holders.

HOW MEXICO DOES THINGS.

1t is a fad with many American tour
lists in Mexico on their return to the
states to ridicule Mexico and declare
the country to be 100 years behind the
times. While in some respects this
may be true yet In other ways Next
cans might truthfuIly say that the
United States are 100 years behind the
times.
For instance, Mexico owns its tele-
graph and telephone lines; and at the
expiration of their several charters, all
railroads with their rolling stock and
equipment revert to the government.
Mexico regulates passenger and freight
rates on all lines and railroads are re-
CURED to sell first, second and third
class tickets, so that the poor can
travel by rail at about one and a half
cents per mile, figured in American
money. Railroads are required to
carry government stores and supplies
at low rate, and corporations Of ali
kinds have to pay their full share Of

Girls OF West and East.

Place the New Yorker beside a typi
cal western girl-once, say from Kan
sas, says the Home Companion, cIothe
them in identical garments, and the
difference becomes even more prom
ounced. They may be equally Guilt
waited, equally intellectual. equally
charming, but they are not alike.
The westerner is apt TO be bigger Of
bone; her eyes will be more widely
open; she will look at the world with a
franker gaze; she will be slightly more
independent or aggressive" more
used to "doing for herself"
She viii take the rough hurrying men
as matter of course. No frown will
pucker her pretty eyebrows when she
is jostled. She walks with less light
ness, and more sturdiness. She out
breathes an air Of accepting things as
she finds them, and making the best Of
them. In all probability she is the
daughter of q man and woman who
were among the vests winners. Her
parents found life hard, she finds it
easy; but the result Of their long battle
against untamed nature and restricted
social conditions.is Swallowed in her.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BEq


Ed. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, recently sent out
a neat little pamphlet entitled, ''Kan-
sas And the Semi-Arid Section, by
Uncle:Sam" On the title page under
the above heading the following figures
are given: "Corn raised in 20 years,
1895, 1885,, 3O8 bushels; wheat, 691 ,297 ,613
bushels; and underneath this beWilder-
ing enumeration is the scriptural in
vitation, "Whosoever will may come"
This tastefuIly illustrated and we'll
gotten-up little brochure contains
seven tables given to correct the i'm
preston that has gone abroad through
the random statement, claimed to have
emanated from official sources, that
Kansas and Nebraska are in the "semi-
arid belt, and, being agriculturally un-
reliable, could not be classed with the
states of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri
the great corn-belt states" The fig
ures given are taken from the govern
ment year book Of the agricultural
department, at Washington, D. O., and
therefore must be reliable.
Fifteen states are given and CLASH
fed as to bushels Of corn, wheat, corn
and wheat, money value and per capita
of production. Five of the leading
states are given here as answering
the purposes of illustration and com
parison.
Table No. 1 gives the states accord
ing to rank as to combined value of
wheat and corn produced from 1896 to
1900. Kansas, s378, 433, BAT; Illinois,
1861 $50, 618: Iowa, $3.50, 791, I'll; Nebras-
ka, 1901, 1929; Missouri, s275, 961 ,983.
Table No. gives value of wheat
raised in 1900, and is as follows: Kan
sas, 5,368, 76O; Minnesota, So, $50 829;
California, s16,555,3O2; Texas, s14y973,-
384; Pennsylvania, s14, 6O2, $50.
Table No. 8 gives states according to
value of wheat, wheat and corn, and
corn alone raised in 1900 and are rank
ed in the following order: Wheat
states-Kansas, Minnesota, California,
Texas and Pennsylvania. Wheat and
corn states-Kansas, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and Missouri Corn states
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and
Kansas.
Table No. gives value of corn in
1890. Illinois, s84,536,392; Iowa, s82,-
582, 1876; Nebraska, SIS, 233, 800; Missou-
ri, s57 1877 800; Kansas, So, 438,6O2.
Table No. gives rank in value of
wheat, wheat and corn, and corn alone
in 1900, with the following rank and
order: Kansas, lis; Minnesota, . g.
.; California, 3-2l-35: Texas, AT;
Pennsylvania, 1915.
Table No. 6 gives value of wheat and
corn in 1900: Kansas, s97, 8O7 1862, Hi
nois, s96,O44,916; Iowa, s95, 443,1 38; Ne
braska, s78,37S, 1877; Missouri, $50, ZOO
758.
Table No. gives value of wheat and
corn in 1900 per capita: Nebraska,
$3.50; Kansas, $50 81; Iowa, so. IS;
Minnesota, s23 70; Missouri, 80. 43.
From the above figures it is evident
that Kansas is not so very unreliable
as to agricultural possibilities. But
when it is remembered that Kansas is
only about half peopled and cultivated,
and you think of the time when it will
be as well settled and as thoroughly
cultivated as Illinois, the immagina-
ton is staggered at the prospect and
the question arises, What shall the
harvest be?''
