and nobody will die. OF course, captious critics
at once tried to pick flaws In this prediction
and one of them THE Kansas City Journal
did sums it's own account, and came out with
the assertion that the world wouldn't hold so
many people, and that the soil could not pro-
duce food enough to support them. But Peter
son made short work with this rash doubter
by doing much bigger sums. which proved that
he exactly right. Besides, God had re-
vealed the whole thing to him. and 1T was little
less than blasphemous for The Journaf 10
boggle over little details. 1t had brought up
the estimate of Mulhall, mere worm of the
earth, with divine gift of prophecy, to the
effect that II requires eight and one-third acres
of land to support a single person. The ao-
surdity of such a dry-as-dust statement! why
Peterson himself knows a family of eleven per-
sons near Atchison who have made a living
for many years on a garden patch of twelve
acres and they have money enough to wear
store clothes and go to the circus. To this THE
Journal can only weakly reply that ut is not
fair to make the glorious fertility of Kansas
"a basis for an estimate of the worlds produc-
"tivity"-a mere appeal to local State pride.
Thus the matter stands at present. Peterson
has predicted a general resurrection for 1915,
and matter how his prediction may be re-
ceived, no one can say that he Is false prophet
for at least thirteen years. He has evidently
got hold Of the right idea in the prophet bust
ness which is to put all predictions far enough
ahead to insure some years of undimmed fame
That is where the POpulists in the first Bryan
campaign made their mistake as prophets. They
predicted certain immediate disaster If Bryan
was defeated, and thus, after few brief weeks
of glory, sank into obscurity. Peterson applies
sound business principles to prophecy.

PETERSON THE PROPHET

We have not been able to learn Peterson'a
If he has any. Our esteemed CONTEMPORARIES
or Kansas which have chronicled his sayings
and doings with true Homeric simplicity refer
to him only as Peterson the Prophet Of Atchi-
son. That is enough. The world needs not to
know more, for always and everywhere the
little ephemeral details regarding a great man
are lost sight of in the loom of history. and the
doer lives only in the deed Sufficient for the
world that prophet has arisen in Kansas wbo
predicts things in large breezy way that puts :
the best efforts of the old Roman aueurs de-
cidedly in the shade, Peterson appears too at
an opportune moment; for sockless Jerry"
Simpson has disappeared from public view
Mrs Lease has ceased to he stateswoman. and
Mrs. Nation is no longer able TO secure even a
two line reading notice. Moreover the pro-
phetc office in Kansas is practically vacant
since the Populist prophets of disaster are now
too busy making money to do any more nre-
dieting. The stage is thus cleared for a new
man. and. behold, he appearsi
AS in the case of all great prophets ps+ar
sons predictions shade off into the fascinating
domain of the mysterious and the unknown
But the thing that stands clearly out is that
in the year 1915 all the dead will return 10
life, which VIII make the population of the
world to be in round numbers 30 900 600 600
We have not ourselves figured II out. but thar Is
what Peterson says, and what Peterson saws
goes. When this wholesale resurrection is ef
fected. we are Furthermore informed by Peterson
that the population OF the world will remain sta
tionary at this figure. since nobody will be born

Unusual interest attaches to the

completed but among those already
inserted in the bill is that Of $500 900

plete arrangements for Senator De.
pew's appearance in this city have
not yet been made, the matter will be
definitely settled next week.
1t is understood that the senator
from New York cOntemplates taking
a western tour soon. This knowledge
has prompted the lecture manage
ment to investigate the possibility o.
securing him for a StOp-Oyer at Madl-
son while on his journey westward.
1t will indeed be fortunate II Senator
DepeW can be induced to pay this
city a visit as he has never been
heard at Madison. 1t was by mere
circumstance that Col. Bryan was
secured for such a favorable con
sfderatiOn some time ago and the
management has found it possible to
get these celebrates of national
fame to come here only when they
are in the near vicinity of Madison.
Those who have the affair in charge
believe it is only fitting that since
the audiences OF the CapItaI city
have listened to two prominent demo
cratic leaders, Col Bryan and Henry
WattersOn, through the kindness OF
the association, they should be given
an opportunity to hear representative
men of the republican party, hence
the special effort being made to
secure Senator Depew.
That Senator DepeW'S appearance
would be a rare treat needs no com
ment. The gifted senator's ABILITY
at repartee is we'll known and his
wholesome, logical, common sense
views on practical political problems
of the nation are familiar to all.
His record as a public speaker is one
Of unbOunded success.
In talking Of the possibility OF en-
gaging Senator Depew, Manager
Hanzlik said: 1--WE shall put forward
every effort to get Mr.. Depew 20
come to Madison. We realize the
difficulty Cf securing him fur one
night in Madison, as he is an ex-
trenely busy man. but we believe our
work in this direction Will be APP
preciated by the students. they
have now heard Col. Bryan and Mr.
Watterson and we feel grained at
the results. We think Senator De
pew would prove as great an attrac-
ton. if not greater than the two
previous engagements. Besides, 1t
would give the students a chance to
hear & leading man of opposite
ponucal views. While Senator De
pew is not in the lecture business we
hope to offer him an inducement that
will make his appearance a GER
|tainty."
