The Santa Fc Route.

The Santa Fc Route, the creates; rail-
road in the world for helping to build up
the territory it reaches, passes through
the center OF the Arkansas Valley. We
are located on the main line OF this road.
between Denver. California and all points
east and south, affording our farmers ia
cilitcs for reaching the best markets of
the United States. The lbsral policy
pursued by this road in years past toward
the growers and shippers along its line is
sufficient guaranty to us that we have de-
cided advantages in this particular over
almost any other portion Of the West.

When I made a fight in the house for

your attention to his utterauce at this

Congressman Bailey. OF Texas. one OF
the ablest men in the United States,
called my attention 10 this sinister at
titude OF MIR Bryan at the time.
The trouble with the south has al
ways been its clnging to traditions
and it's lack OF practical vision. in
preventing the other sections from
imposing upon them by underhand
means. The south is solidly Demo
cratic. for nowhere in the world is
there a create" love for freedom OF
speech. liberty Of thought ard action
and absolute justice. which are the
foundation stones ot the Democratic
party. But ther were asleep II 1896
and 1900 and totally ignorant OF the
reasons for this new issue Icing
forced upon them. It was in the
Democratic platform and they there-
fore voted for it Now it behooyes
them to consider why it was in that
platform. and they will learn. that
instead OF being Democratic il was u
counterfeit to be spurned and cast
aside. The south should now take
advantage Of the fact that it controls
the Democratic party and see 10 it.
that those principles Of justice end
equality which lie at the foundation
of Democracy are not again departed
from and that no scheme for the en-
richment of any section. for the bene-
fit of any other section. shall ever
again be incorporated into Demo
cratic platform.

The work of removing the little
white schoolhouses from the Iowa
hilltops is attracting more attention
Just now than any other educational
movement of the new century, states
the New England Farmer. Advanced
educators of Iowa have come to the
realization that the theory Of school
house every two or three miles along
the country roads is all wrong. The
last legislature recognized the fact
that some provision should be made
for lessening the cost of maintaining
so many schoolhouses, and passed
DAVIS making it possible to consolidate
schools and to engage in the practice
of transporting children from long dis
tances to school at public expense.

operated by tenants has been pointed
out as a sign that the former owners
were rapidly sinking into a state of
tenancy through the foreclosure of
mortgages. This has. however, been
shown not to be the case by Mr.. L. G..
Powers, the chief statistician of the
division of agriculture of the census
bureau. According to the new census
figures. the total number Of farms in
the United States has increased from
4.5OO,0O0 in 1850 10 100000 in 1900.
and those operated by tenants have in
creased between 40 ani A. percent.
while those titled by their owners
have increased between i and IS per-
cent. Both classes have increased
more rapidly than the agricultural pop
ulation, witch fact disproves the as
Scrtion that the owners are being de-
gradel into tenants. NJ. Powers
states that it does rot indicate the
degra lation Of the rural population.
but an uplifting that has raised not
less than 100000 families from the
position of wage-earners to that Of
lessees of small or large tracts of
tillable land. When a wage-earner,
he states. in a rural community gets a
little capital ahead he often begins to
look for a farm to rent and operate.
Those owners of farms who have laid
by gcodly-sized 'nest-egg' are often
willing to lease their lands and retire
to the city to live on their income.
The result is an increase in tenant
farms, but it is in an economic i'm
provement for al concerned. If the
tenant be successful he may be able
to buy the farm in a few years.

Writing in Casters Magazine. Il
ton D. Adams shows that the time IS
ripe for the advent of a new syaso.I
of urban and interurban transP"' -
ton. The object sought in each
change thus far appears to have been
a reduction in operating expenses as
we'll as an Improvement in service.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Adams electric
vehicles embrace the necessary e!e-
ments of the next Improvement in
street traction. There is no compari-
son. Of course. in the matter Of fie&i-
bility Of operation and freedom from
the street structures. 1t is only a
question of comparative cost. MT.
Adams shows that for a given daily
output of energy the station to cEa"ge
storage batteries for electric vehicles
need only have onc-fourth the c2pa-
city in generating machinery that is
necessary for the operation OF tram
car system, AMI would require no bat
terry plant whatever. After computing
the comparative cost Of maintenance
and operation Mr. Adams finds an un-
balanced advantage of transportation
with electromobiles. a saving OF about
one,half of the entire first cost and
also.o one-half Of the annual interest
charges of present street car systems.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poorly
sustained and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic,
say, sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep. and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.

SHIBBoLETH.

After n months silence news has come
from the Philippines concerning Briga-
dier General Funston. The dispatches
reveal him in a light that will be new to
many persons who have professcd to be-
lieve that the little Kansan's chief claim
TO consideration lay in his spirit of dare
deviltry.
1t is reported that Funston has had n
conference with General Lucban of the
insurgent forces in the north Of Pena-
renda, in he Province of NLeva Ecija.
AS Il result, the rebel General announced
that he would probably surrender with
all his forces within n few days. This
display of The ~argumentative by the man
who swan the river ut Calumpit and
VIII" captured Aguinaldo is a compare
lively new feature of his work that has
come to the public.
Yet there is every reason why Funston
should he engaged in this task. He has
not made his mark by chance. He is
not Il hit-or-miss hero. He has worked
for his iaurels.
When tramping through Arizona on
the Death Valley expedition, he picked
up a smattering of Spanish. Later in
Alaska he learned the Chinook until he
was regarded as little less than n brother
by the natives whom he engaged to as
sist him. in gathering botanical speci-
mems. Down in Cuba, fighting under
Gomez, he perfected himself in the Span
ish tongue until he spoke it like a Don.
In the Philippines, his knowledge of
Spanish placed him in u foremost posi-
ton for effective works. lie turned his
attention to mastering the dialects Of the
many native tribes of Luzon. Within
two months he could e intelli-
gently with a Tagalog. He became pro-
ficient in the Maccabebe tongue and as
a result was able to lead them In the
march to A%gninaldo.
Now he is visiting the native leaders
and speaking in their own language
without the aid of an interpreter. His
proficiency in the dialects has helped to
win his battles.

AN uN1MpEDED CHOICE.

Mayor Weiss promptness in signing
the parasite bill was to have been ex-
pected, inasmuch as that measure, now
enacted into law, clears the way for in
telligent action in the selection Of a
Worlds Fair. site.
The Worlds Fair Company is thus
p iced in q position where it will not
b at the mercy of, real estate specria-
tors seeking excessive profits at the e1-
pense Of the Exposition. 1t can make
the best and most advantageous choice
Of a location for the Worlds Fair.
No unusual privilege has been
granted In this instance. Indeed. IL st.
Louis had refused this privilege 1t
would have been the first case Of the
kind on record in the history Of Worlds
Fair undertakings.
The Municipal Assembly and the
Mayor have done their duty to St. Louis
and. to the Worlds Fair in thus dispos-
ing OF the parasite bill. 1t is now in
order to look for uninterrupted progress
in Worlds Fair work. The choice of a
site being made, the rest is comparative
" easy and free from likelihood Of OBJ
sAruction or delay. And the enactment
into law Of the parasite bill greatly sim
plifies the question Of the choice of q
park site.
