A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Not an Unmixed Disaster.

Gov. Stanley recently issued state
ment regarding the drought in Kan
sas. He said that with the corn crop
wholly eliminated Kansas is in better
shape this year than in many past
years, and while the comparison af-
fords no particular cause for encour-
couragement." In closing he presents
this unique statement: cit is too
evident for discussion that the preesnt
drought in the west will work serious
injury and that it will lead to much
encouragement, but so far as Kansas
is concerned it will not be altogether
without good results. Had there been
large yield of corn, with large pas
turage, following our immense wheat
harvest, immigration would have
again turned toward the state and
attempted to open up western Kansas
to general agriculture. Already the
steps of the immigrant were turning
in that direction, and with bountiful
corn crop following the unequaled
wheat crop in the state, it is safe to
say that the western third of the state
would have more than doubled in pop
ulation in short time. The result
would have been disastrous. That ex-
pertinent has been tried in Kansas
twice; both times it has proven fail
ure and will prove failure as often
as tried. Western Kansas is peculiar
~ a stock country and well adapted
for the grazing of large herds and the
raising of forage plants to carry them
safely through the winter season.
The present dry weather and practical
failure of the corn crop will prevent
repetition of the unwise experiment
that has twice proved a failure and
thus prevent the recurrence of the
hardships that have twice followed
the attempt to open up western Kan
sas to general farming. The year 1901
will mark the close of a fve-year
period the most successful that Kap-
sas has ever enjoyed. With $4,000, 900
bushels of the best wheat that was
ever raised in her granaries, with
$70,O00,o00 deposited in her banks,
with 10000, 900 bushels of old corn on
hand, with larger herds than ever in
her pastures and forage plants neces-
sary to carry them through the COM
ing winter, with people less elated
by success and less discouraged by
adversely than ever before, Kansas is
all right"

Americas Relationship to Other Coun-
tries,

tries,
For years I've been a selfappointed
missionary to bring about the union Of
America and the motherland. This
ought to be a union of friendship and
esteem and fellowship. an alliance Of
the heart which should permanently
and beneficently cement the two peoples
together. I've warmed this mission Of
mine up with compliments of both
peoples wherever I've been. They
ought to be united. Behold America,
the refuge of the oppressed from every
where (who can pay $50 admission)-
anyone except Chinaman-standing
up for human rights everywhere, even
helping to make China let people in
free when she wants to collect $50 from
them. And how unsel6shly England
has wrought for the open door for all !
And how piously America has wrought
for that open door in all cases where it
was not her own
"How generous England and America
nave been i'm not compelling China to
pay eXorbitantly for eXtinguishing mis-
sionaries! They are willing to take
produce from them. fire crackers and
such,-while the Germans must have
monuments and any other Doodle that
is lying around. They've made Chris
tianity SO expensive that China can't
afford German missionaries any more.
"And how gallantly we went to the
rescue of Cuba, struck the chains off,
and set her free-with England at our
back in an attitude toward European
powers which did us good service in
those days, and we confess it now.
Yes, as a missionary I've sung my
songs of praise; and yet l think that
England sinned when she got herself
into war in South Africa which she
could have avoided, just as we have
sinned in ge ting into a similar war in

SOUND PREACHING

Bishop Duncan, of the Southern Metho-
dist church. in preaching sermon at the
dedication of a new church in Columbia.
S. c., on Sunday, gave a statement of the
work and mission of the church that
places it high above all materialism or de-
pendence upon mere material things The
State thus quotes the Bishop:
'"The church Of Jesus Christ is not in
tended to be civilizer. That was not
the object of it's establishment. Civili-
cation is desirable, but eliminate Je-
sus Christ from our civilization and we
have nothing to boast Of Though the
church is not designed to be a civilizer,
civilization should follow the church.
Nor is the church established in the
interest of social life. 1t is not TO be the
arbiter of social relationships or to reg
ulate caste.
1.-THE church has nothing to do with
politics. with commerce with finance, with
municipal, State or national government.
The church should influence these gov
ernmental arrangements by teaching, not
by edict or authority. Whenever the
church of God in her teachings-not in
her official acts-takes hold Of statecraft
and civilization, the world will be better
off.
There was slavery around Christ and

any relations. They did not attempt to
regulate matters of State. They taught
the truth that by the truth man might
be saved, that the empire might be

that possible?'
Mr. Hogg calmly surveyed the speak
er, as if the latetr was a pretty mat
ter of fact kind of a man, and then he
said:
We'll, now. I'll let you figure it out
yourself. There is one of our wells
which can fill fifty-eight trains of
twenty cars each in day. And that is
only one of half a dozen. l don't want
to tell you about the amount of money
that can be made in oil down there,
because you would say that l kas CIV
ing you a fill"
But l am very much interested in
your country" said the third member
of the group again.
well, then, here are a few facts"
replied the Texan, and he wiped from
his smooth face several huge drops OF
perspiration which the subject of oil
had started from it.
"Spindleton," he continued, where
the big gushers are, and which is near
Beaumont, is the greatest phenomenon
that was ever discovered in the world;
far exceeding the wealth of a dozen
Klondikes and several dozen Cripple
Creeks. For instance, we have eighty
five gushers down there. By we I
mean the people of Beaumont. None
of these wells will produce less than
10000 barrels each a day. Many of
them will squirt 10000 and some shoot
out of the ground 200, 900 barrels day
Now, your mind is knocked out by such
figures, the same as a contemplation
of the distances between the stars of
the Milky Way. On an average the
wells down there give a daily output of
$3.50, 900 barrels, or a yearly supply of
over 10000 900, 900 barrels. At 20 cents
a barrel, this would make an annual
yield of over 100000 900, or more than
double all the money in the United
States and England"
The Texan oilborer stopped for mo-
ment to take breath, when he per-
ceived that the man who said he was
so interested in the oil trade was
shaking his head,
That's the way with you Northern
fellows" said the Ex-Governor, quickly.
you can't believe 1t till you see It,
You are all like Thomas of old. But
want to say this: The time is coming
when oil will be used instead of coal
for the generating of power, the pro-
pulsion of railroad trains and steam
ships, and for heating purposes. Oil is
superior. and ii can be squirted into a
tank right here in this city at cents a
barrel. Three and a half barrels are
equal in heat producing power to one
ton of your best coal. Down our way
we're using ii for almost every purpose.
1t makes cooking a cinch. You can
cook a Thanksgiving dinner with II for

The big Southwesterner here brought
his fist down. on the table with blow
that almost upset all the glasses, nd
then. turning TO the fourth member OF
the group, who had said that he was a
Tammany man, Mr.. Hogg said:
Now. what do you think of a coun-
try that can produce wealth equa to
all that of the United States and Eng
land combined in one year. Ell? What
do you think of that2"
There was a rnomentary pause. and
then No. 4 replied. solemnly:
