Il Il Judges Terms.

Now 1t seems likely that the su'
preme court will have to guess again
as to whether district judges whose
terms expire the coming year will
hold over until the next election or
will 90 out OF Office and leave vacau'
cies for Governor Bailey to fill. The
supreme court decided that question
last spring, but the new biennial cleo
ton amendment says that "all officers
would, under the law as 1t existed at
the time Of their election, be elected
in an odd-numbered year, shall hold
office for an additional year and until
their successors are qualified" This
would seem to indicate that district
ridges would hold over. Those
whose terms expire the coming year
are Judges Walter L. Simons Of Fort
Scott, Leander Stillwell Of Erie, 0.

Kansas City journal; Senator
Burton has lately been giving great
deal Of attention to the proposition
Of an emergency currency, for re.
lieving conditions in times Of fnan.
cial stringency, and giving the clear
ing houses in the commercial centers
the legal right to do what was done
in New York at the time OF the last
panic. At that time clearing house
certificates were issued which passed
current locally, but we're valueless
elsewhere. The new proposition to
permit them, under closely guarded
restrictions, to issue currency at such
time, which shall be taxed so highly
as to prevent its use except in case Of
great emergencies. Senator Burton
has been comforting with DR.. Woods,
Of this city, and others and will prob
ably introduce bill embodying some
such features at the coming session
Of congress.

Kansas Total Vote.

The exact total vote on governor
which will decide the various guess
Ing contests on the vote In Kansas
this year will not be known for some
time. November "a is the date on
which according to law, the vote on
state and congressional officers would
be canvassed II the returns are all 10,
but the law also gives the county
clerks % days in which to make their
returns to the secretary OF state.
That will give them until November
20, 50 the vote may be canvassed on
November "a and 1t may not. II the
returns are not all in by November
20 the secretary Of state Is author
lied to send for them. "
Returns from only q few counties
have yet come in and they are opened
only as fast as Chief Clerk Whitmore,
Of the office Of the secretary Of state,
gets around to tabulate them.
Then there are q number Of con.
tests on in the state and tho outcome
Of these might make considerable dill
ference in the total vote Of the state.

grain was small and Of inferior quail.
ity.
OF course the Illinois men might in
time have found corn especially
adapted to such soils. Recent ex-
periments have shown that wonders
may be done in breeding corn for spe-
cisl purposes. But up to the time
they stopped thei1 experiments they
had not found such variety.
The Southern cattle raiser must be
prepared to confront a somewhat
similar difficulty. Experience would
seem to have shown that the beef
steer, for example, as now known
reaches its highest and most profit
able development in a belt running
generally east and west with the Ohio
river, and lying more north than
south OF that stream, extending to
the middle line Of Kansas. Under
ordinary conditions and without ex-
traordinary care the beef which most
people regard as best comes from that
belt. 1t may be that equally good
beef can be produced in Georgia, but
then again it may be that a special
variety OF cattle especially adapted to
that climate and soil will have to be
produced first. aC.
There is no harm in trying cattle
raising in the South on an extensive
scale. There is every reason why 1t
should be tried. But before the
Southern beef raiser can really COM
pete in quality and quantity with the
district which reaches from central
New York to the middle Of Kansas be
may have to develop new variety Of
steer.

The Beef Bolt.

The current Baltimore Manufac
turers' Record, journal especially
devoted to Southern industries, con-
tains long argument in favor Of
more attention to cattle raising In
the South. 1t points. out that in five
leading Southern states there were in
1900 fewer meat cattle than in 1860,
and in two fewer than in 1880.
1t asserts that the grazing lands Of
the South, in grass product, water
supply, and freedom from destructive
storms, are superior to those Of the
trans-Missouri region. 1t alleges
that in proportion to feeding power
these Southern pine-timber lands are
cheaper than the Western prairies,
and the cost Of opening cattle ranches
on them less. Yet it finds that
thousands Of Southern yearlings are
annually sold to the West to be grazed
an / iattened, to come back South
again as dressed beef.
So to diversity industry as to escape
too great a dependence upon any one
crop and so far as possible to produce
at home the materials Of its industries
is certainly to the advantage Of the
South or Of any other region. Yet
there is another side to the story.
The South has long been reproached
for its failure to produce more Of the
corn and pork which are the staples
Of its laborers' diet. Some Illinois
men who bought plantations in the
Yazoo delta Of Mississippi about ten
years ago resolved that they would
not make this mistake. They were,
Of course, looking to cotton as their
money crop, but they intended to
raise at least enough corn and hogs
to be able to supply their employees
with meal and meat.
They tried the experiment. They
have given up the effort and now
plant corn only for mule fodder and
buy their meal in St.. Louis and their
pork in Chicago. The trouble was

The Edinburg (Scotland) Gazette
says:
English commercial journals have
lately been directing their attention
to the work Of showing the absurdity
Of much Of the braggings Of Ameri.
cans and their friends, who are con-
stantly assuring US that America is
licking creation and possessing itself
Of the whole earth. In reality Amer
ics cuts but poor figure against this
country as manufacturing nation in
the open markets Of the world. Ga
equal terms British merchants and
manufacturers not only can hold their
own, but do it,"
Then it goes on to tell Of England's
trade with Its own colony in South
Africa as an example Of Its success in
business and adds: "A few practical
illustrations OF this kind will render
still more absurd those grotesque car
toons with which American journal.
lists minister to Yankee vanity by rep.
resenting John Bull as a pauper ap-
pealing to the charity Of Uncle Sam. +"
1t is evident that the English jour
mails are becoming worried and are
trying to brace up their readers.
They know that the United States has
the greatest balance Of trade in its
favor Of any country on earth and is
increasing it. Andrew Carnegie,
himself Scotchman, says that con-
ditions have already changed the posi-
tlons Of Britain and America as In
dustrial powers. America now makes
more steel than all the rest Of the

She furnishes you with most Of the

Thus she has become the foremost
nation In wealth, manufactures and
commerce, and promises soon, in
some branches, to occupy the position
which Britain occupied when it was
Britain versus the world. She al.
ready does this with steel. Although
no Briton can be expected to see with
satisfaction bis country displaced
from first place, there is yet cause for
rejoicing that supremacy remains in
the family. 1t is not altogether lost
what the race still holds. Macbeth's
fate is not Britains. The scepter Of
material supremacy has been wrench

Making q Fool Of Itself.

World is making fool Of itself and
the parties it claims to represent,
with its howl about the Republicans
stealing Kansas. The claim that q
general conspiracy, extending over
the whole state, was carried out by
Republican majorities on election
boards, il idiotic. The voters OF Kan
sas are not thieves and criminals be.
cause they are Republicans. With
out regard to party, the voters of
Kansas can be trusted to fairly con-
duct the precinct and ward elections.
We have no doubt the election just
concluded was as fairly conducted as
was possible under a new and tech
meal law. Many thousand votes
have no doubt been miscounted
through inability to follow the law,
but this is not the result Of conspir-
acy, nor do the errors reach In num-
Der the $4,000 votes by which Mr..
Craddock was defeated"
