Wichita May 29.-It was the greatest
convention ever held In the history Of
Kansas. Old-timers who have been at
tending Republican conventions ever
since there has been any Republican
party or any state of Kansas say they
never saw the like.
The supreme battle was over the con
troll of the organization of the conven-
tion. Every nerve was strained by both
sides to carry that. Many of the syndi-
cate enthusiasts We're confident that
they had SIS votes for Greer for tenn
porary chairman, but at the same time
there was a feeling of uneasiness among
the leaders. The Bailey people on the
other hand grew more confident with
every minute after Tuesday noon. From
the time that Sedgwick county decided
70 give It's solid support to Cole for
chairman the Bailey sentiment became
more and more sOlidi6ed, and the fact
mat the result was within five votes of
the way it had been figured by Chair
man Albaugh and Cyrus Leland at 3
O'Clock Wednesday morning shows
how well they had the situation in hand.
But notwithstanding the hard fight
between the two factions. there was
practically no bitterness exhibited. No
one got angry and the leaders of each
side talked with their opponents with
no show of feeling whatever
rms beats any convention 7 ever at
tended, said Congressman Long after

IrlsilGnI RaAsAA.nlt q tlnn

"> TIE SUBJECT of federal irri-
cation of the arid lands, so
n strongly recommended by
President Roosevelt to the
attention of congress, is developing
curious opposition. This is we'll voiced
in speech delivered in the house of
representatives on January 81 by Rep
resentative Sibley, copies of which are
now being circulated
1t has for its text this question:
''What justification can we urge to
those farmers who already bear SO
great a burden of taxation when We
invite still further competition against
them and compel them to pay their
proportionate burden of the cost Of
inaugurating that competitions" Mr.
Sibley comedies all that the advocates
of irrigation say as to it's effectiveness
in converting now useless waste land
into fertile garden spots, but that very
fact makes him hostile to the PROPOSE
tion of this time.
The farmer who thirty years ago
Was of all Americans the most indepen-
dent sovereign has" says Mr.. Sibley,
"during the last generation witnessed
decline in the value of his farm lands
equivalent in the eastern, middle, and
southern states to ut least so per cent.
with Il corresponding decline in the
value of all the products of his skill.
He labors on his farm sixteen hours a
day, and hardly understands why we
legislate for an eight-hour day, with
four weeks vacation and four weeks
sick leave each year with pay, for all
engaged in the government service,
and yet seldom propose legislation
which will tighten his burdens in life
or add to the sum of his happiness,
He has seen great government give
10 every citizen who would enter the
lists of competition against him q
farm of 100 acres of the richest land
the sun ever shown upon. He has seen
under that competition his broad acres
pinch and narrow and the comforts of
his fireside diminish He has seen COM
petition in his calling so stimulated
that the low-priced surplus of products
of agriculture has determined the value
OF the entire product. He has seen
the mortgage slowly but surely eating
y up his farm and has voiced no protest
or voiced that protest in such faint
and feeble tones that by the time ii
reached the seat of government it was
drowned in the babel and din of noise
of Others who loudly clamored for adj
vantage
''If it were to be announced to-mor-
row that the government would give
each man in the nation a well-stocked
grocery or well-equipped tannery for
making leather, or factory for max
ing shoes, what a chorus of protests
would arise from every grocer, every
tanner, and every shoemaker in Amer
lea. Yet in effect this was precisely
what happened to the American farmer.
You now propose to open up in ad-
vance OF demand hundreds of millions
of acres more TO place in competition
against the over -burdened farmer.
Give the farmer and farmers boy some
opportunity to share in the general
prosperity now enjoyed by the people.
So long as we have large exportable
surplus OF agricultural products. let

elected by the case of Mrs
Il Soffel are going to waste.
No good purpose is served
by them. No change in human nature
will be wrought by them. Women are
of two kinds--always were and always
will be One kind is good-very little
lower than the angels, when at their
best. the other kind is mainly congen-
italy bad, and you can do little to-
ward changing them. The weak sister
may be given an appearance of strength
by separation from temptation; but the
moment she is left to her own re-
sources she falls.
In Mrs. Soffels case it is fair to
presume that temptation was slow in
coming and that the weakness which
succumbe9 to it was previously unsus-
pected. SO much, at least, appears on
the surface. What is under the sur
face the public does not know, and we
dare say it is fortunate that it doesn't.
But the fact remains that no amount
of moralizng on her case will have
any influence in arrestng the way

| IA TT UGH has been said in the
Ne daily press about the
4 v II. achievements of NTarconi
in the line of wireless
| telegraphy: so much, that the public
! is in peril of forgetting that there are
| others In the February issue Of Har-
pers magazine Waldon Fawcett tells
of another--an Anerican--who is
| achieving things of note in this newly
opened field of electrical progress. Says
Mr.. Fawcett:
'"rhe very acme of achievement in
the transmission Of messages would
seam to have been reached in the Wire
less telephone system which has recent
ly been developed by Professor a. Fred
ericli Collins, an electrical engineer re-
siding in Philadelphia. Spoken words
are transmitted great distances through
the ground without the use of q con-
Meeting wire, and in accordance with
plan totally different from that Of
the Marconi system of wireless tele-
graphy.
The Collins system simply takes
advantage of the fact that there are
natural electrical currents in evidence
slightly below the surface of the earth
at any point that may be selected, and
by this invention currents OF this char
acter are utilized to cause a flow of
electricity between two Instruments
stationed above the surface of the
earth. The only underground me-
ntnnlnNnI icfC nf
zinc-wire screens, which are buried in
shallow holes, one at the sending sta
ton and the other at the receiving
station. Above these are tripods sup
porting transmitting and receiving ap-
paratus, such as is employed in ordin-
airy telephony, a wire af,ording connec-
tion in each case with the buried
screen When the electricity from
storage battery is turned on, sounds
of all kinds may be sent through the
transmitter and heard, in many in
stances, even more distinctly than We're
Il regular overhead telephone en-
ployed.
THE Collins invention in its simplest
form is adapted to sending Il message
but one way--that is it is not possible
TO utilize receiver as transmitter
and receivers are each equipped with an
annex for performing the opposite
function. so that to all intents and
purposes this new telephone is not
different from the instruments already
in use"
What the development Of this idea
will mean to the civilization of the next
half century can be readily imagined.
II will literally annihilate distance and
weld together into new communities of
interest the separated nations and peo-
pies of the earth.

until our increased population shall so
expand that these lands shall be need
ed TO meet the demand for Il greater
food supply. Let u later generation
perform this labor aud the burden of
cost bear upon the shoulders of
those who shall receive the blessing"
In conclusion, the eloquent member
from the Twenty-seventh district In
dulged in this moving peroration: "To
my mind the present proposition for
the immediate reclamation of these
arid lands is the pressing of the pois-
oned chalice to the lips of the farming
classes in this nation which. IL 1t kill
them not, will ut least for another

would willingly lnnict injury upon any
class of citizenship, much less upon
that sturdy, Industrious, honest, Cod
fearing class who live upon American
farms and have contributed their more
than loyal share to our national prog
ress and development"
We are surprised that Mr.. Sibley did
not possess the full courage of his
logic. He should introduce a bill using
the treasury surplus to purchase and
withdraw from cultivation enough of
the land now arabic to put diamonds
on the man with the hoe.
