Need Of College Training.

Prof J. H. Garfield; formerly of the
State University, Lawrence, but now
Of Columbia University, New York,
has written helpful book on college
life. The best thing in it is his
urgent advice to the young men OF
this generation to try to secure COL
lege education. Early in the first
chapter DR.. Garfield says;
ut is entirely unnecessary to admit
at the outset that a large number OF
the men who are successful in either
business or the professions or in pub
lie life some, even in the world OF
letters-have not received a college
training. Through much tribulation
they have come at last into their
kingdom-all the more theirs, and all
the more valuable and valued be.
cause Of the struggle it has cost
They are entitled to great credit for
the courage and energy and insist
ence with which the battle has been
fought. But these men generally
bear the scars OF the conflict; rightly
or wrongly regret their earlier limi'
tations; and believe they could have
gone farther and could have accom-.
plished more II they had enjoyed
some Of the educational advantages
so easily within the reach Of the aver
age boy Of today"
There is the main argument in a
nutshell. There are men, mainly ex-
ceptlons Dr.. Garfield says, who
achieve to greatness without college
training, but they could have done
more and have done it easier
with the training. And the saddest
part Of 1t is that sooner or later they
all realize the lack.
DR.. Garfield draws attention to the
fact that "non-collegians have thus
far been competing with men Of their
training or lack Of training. But the
young men Of today will find this all
changed when they reach middle life.
Twenty five years from now they
must compete largely with college,
bred men"
ut is entirely true that the college
bred boy must begin at the bottom,
and that at the outset he appears to
have lost time-wandering about
among the dead languages and
philosophy and the history Of the
past aud fine.spun theories Of the
present-while the "other fellow
has mastered the elements Of his bust
ness or bis calling, and is already "
the ladder. But the college man Il

Out at Sterling in Rice county, one
Of the prettiest little cities in Kansas,
the dwellings and business houses Of
the place are to be heated by hot
water pipes. The pipes will connect
with q reservoir at the electric light
plant, A small steam pump will
force the hot water through the pipe.
There will be two pipes about two
inches in diameter, one to take the
water out and the other to carry II
back. These pipes are put 81 feet
under the ground and encased in a
wooden box. The cost will be no
more than the coal will cost individ'
ually and perhaps less, With the hot
water heat you have no dirt, no coal,
no smoke, no trouble making fires,
and you have your house warm all
the time. The main cost is in put
ting in the pipes and radiators. This
method Of heating is being adopted
in many places and seems to be
success.

He does not reach the end OF bis
tether nearly SO soon as the "other
fellow" and, other things being
equal, he soon masters the other fell
low as being simply one Of the incl
dents OF the situation. 1t may inter
est you to know that about one por
cent Of the entire population OF this
country has received higher educa'
ton, yet this one per cent holds more
than forty per cent Of all the posi-
tiols Of confidence and trust and
profit which it is in the power OF the
American people to grant"
The argument is sound and should
be needed by every young man.
There are many better things that a
young man can get in this world than
money, and complete education is
one Of them.

Those Oklahoma Claims.

The land office commissioner has
issued a notice concerning the filings
and settlement on claims in Okla
homas new lands. 1t says:
1.-The holder OF a claim must, with
in six months after making his entry,
establish his residence by living in a
house upon bis presumption and must
cultivate bis lands continuously for
five years, as required by law, before
he can acquire title from the govern
ment."
The time for making entries under
the drawing expired on October 4,
and homestesders who drew tickets in
the lottery and have made their en-
tries will have to establish actual &C.
cupancy upon the land six months
from the date Of their entry. Most
of the entries were made in August
and September. Those who made
entries in September will have to &C.
cupy their lands by actual residence
in February. Those who made their
entries in August must take up their
residence In March.
Reports received at the general land
office are to the effect that nearly all
Of the land opened to presumption has
been taken up. OF the $4,000 who
drew tickets emitting them to select
claims, II ,6SS filed their claims prior
to October 4. The lands left by those
who drew tickets, but failed to file
their claims, have since nearly all
been rre.empted under the general
homestead laws.

The eminent scientist who edits
the Lawrence Journal offers this: A
new scheme has been devised for kill
ing the prairie dogs. 1t is a machine
that generates gas and forces it down
into the burrows. The holes are then
stopped up, and the dogs left to die
A better way than this, and one that
will be more speedy and effective, is
to set traps, catch the dogs and put
them in a box. Then carry the box
to a smelling furnace and throw 1t in,
after which the furnace door should
be closed tightly. This latter plan
saves the expense Of the gas, and ID
more rapid In its execution.

almost tantamount to an election.
Kansas has taken to heart the ex-
| perience Of the last five years, and 1t
is prepared to cherish them and 10
place higher valuation on them than
any other state in the west. Not that
other western states have wanted for
experiences of their own or that they
are less grateful in their way for the
things they have learned since 1896.
Not at all.
There is not a western state that
ever felt the blight Of Populism, and
then was redeemed by the living
waters Of Republicanism, that is not
sincerely thankful and ready to ex-
press its gratitude at the polls next
fall. But the case Of Kansas differs
from the others.
While they have all sinned, Kansas
has siuned most, and because 1t has
sinned most, most has been forgiven
it, and because most has been for
given it, it has most to be grateful
for.
Kansas appreciates at least how un.
worthy it is Of the blessings that have
been heaped upon it. The spirit Of
Kansas has been humbled; the pride
OF Kansas has been chastened; the
heart Of Kansas has been made con-
trite-not by the chidings or the
chastisement but the love Of its kind.
est of beneiactors, the Republican
party, to which it has so often proved
| false.
II Hence we find that for practical
purposes there is not much need Of
putting the ordinary political ma
chinery Of Kansas into operation this
year.
Only a proper regard for legal re-
| quirements will call for an election,
since every Kansan, or nearly every
Kansan, is going to vote the Republi-
can ticket. The nominating conven'
| ton will settle the contests. And 1t
| is cheerful sign Of the times that
there are already forty-one avowed
candidates for fourteen state offices
with majority Of the counties yet t.
be heard from.
II This is natural. And it n health

san is alive to the situation. Six

On the outermost verge Of the day,
Where the vast purple wall Of the sunset

Slow wandering, In slumber0us windlngs,
Through long, level reaches Of plain,

The river creeps on to the main. I
And sometimes tangle Of forest
Comes down to the sand.leagured shore,
And all It's green heads nod and whisper

And sigh goeth up through the silence

Where bideth the people lover

Investigation of the Accident in Which
Engineer Baldwin Was Killed.

Judge L. NJ. Read of Bellows Falls
was the only member of the state
board of railroad commissioners pres
ent at the county clerks office Tues
day afternoon, when an investigation
was called into the accident which re-
suited in the death of Engineer Enrico
H. Baldwin at Vernon Dec. 3. Clerk
Erwin H. Harvey of Montpelier re-
corded the testimony for the COM
missioners. Commissioner H. S.
Bingham of Bennington intended to be
here, but was delayed by the accident
on the Fitchburg railroad at Charlie
mont, Mass. G. w. Writers, general
counsel, appeared for the Central Yer
mont Railway company, and the wit
nesses were also Intercepted by
States Attorney George A. Weston of
Bellows Falls and Clarke C. Fits,
counsel for E. H. Baldwin's estate.
Conductor Severance, Fireman A, w.
Shattuck, Baggage Master Henry
Reed, and Express Messenger Frank
Melendy who were on the passenger
train at the time of the accident, told
what they heard and saw at that time.
Severance, Shattuck and Reed could
not tell whether the air pump was
working, but Melendy said it was not
working when he reached the locomo-
tive after the collision. Bert t.
Gates, who ran the engine a few days
after the accident, Engineer Dray, who
brought the engine here from New
London, shortly before the accident
and Engineer O'Connor, who used the
engine in switching two days before
the accident, testified that the air
brakes and pump worked salts
factOrily when under their observation
The other two witnesses were Mr..
Nash and Mr.. Dobson of New London,
superintendent and master-mechanic
respectively of the New London North
ern division. The latter's testimony
was the most important. He said
when he overhauled the pump last
July he noticed an imperfection in the
casting at the point which is the steam
inlet to the cylinder, but that it would
make no difference with the pump. 1t
also appeared that the locomotive was
an old one, not in first-class condition,
and that the motive power of this di-
vision of the railroad was short. The
engine was going backward when the
accident occurred and questions by
Mr.. Fits brought the information that
| there was no arrangement on the en-
CINE for sanding when going back
wards, and that when the engine was
being run in this manner the engi-
neer would not be looking at the pump
and air gauge.
The inquiry was not completed, an
| adjournment being taken to some
time, when it is expected the other
members of the railroad commission
will be present.
