KANSAS CROPS.

The secretary of the Kansas State

obtained from the U. 8. Department OF
Agriculture year books.
The tables are brief and graphic and
calculated to surprise those who have
looked on Kansas as Bemi-arid state
Kansas ranks first In tho value OF
wheat and corn raised for the nve
years 1896 to 1900. inclusive, and also
for the year 1900 alone; first In the
value OF wheat alone raised In lsOO;
fifth In the value of corn alone for the
same period; second, In the value OF
wheat and corn raised in 1900 per
capita.
The same authority gives the number
Of bushels OF corn raised In Kansas IN
20 years as 1896, ,9S5, ,3O8, and the mum
Der Of bushels OF wheat raised In same
period as 691, ,297.613.

Roads Making a Pull For Transcon-
t!neniaI Business.
Illinois Central and soushera v,cifio
Form Powerful Alliance
for Traf1c.
BIG ORDERS Fos EoUIPMEN

New Orleans, La, Dec. 27-Julius
Kruttschnitt, fourth vice president
and assistant to President Hartman
Of the Southern Pacific railroad sys-
tenn, reached here from the East, en-
route to San Francisco, bringing big,
news for Southern Pacific interests,
as we'll as the transoontinentsl rail-
road world. Simultaneous with the
new and powerful alliance with the
Illinois central in handling transcon-
tinental business through this gates-
way. Vice President Kruttschnitt an
nounced some vast improvements to
be undertaken during the coming
year.
On January 4 the Southern Pacific.
and the Illinois Central will join
hands and enter union depot. With
that alliance they will handle solid
trains from Chicago. Cincinnati,
Louisville and st. Louis across the
continent without change of cars.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt says none of the
Southern Pacific employees will lose
their jobs by the union. ALI will be
cared for. He declared that sooner Or
later the Louisville and Nashville and
all other lines centering here will be
forced to run their passenger trains
into the union station. He declared
that bridge TO span the Mississippi
river at this point was not only under
contemplation, but was only a ques-
ton of time.
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-12-27

Of their property without due process
Of law or just compensation.
He said that the legislative boards
have a right to pass police regula-
tions 30 long as they are not unres-
sonable, but when the bounds Of
reason ere overstepped, the law be-
comes unconstitutional and null and
void.
He cited the case Of few years
ago when the council here passed a
law declaring that no female could
enter building in which saloon
was located. II was taken to circuit
court and Judge Husbands knocked
IL into q cooked hat in short order
The same question was subsequently
taken to the court Of appeals from
Owensboro, and the court decided
that not only did a female have as
much right to enter saloon and
take a drink as a man, but that fe-
males Of deprayed character had q
right to, yet ii was claimed that the
ordinances were police regulations.
Another law declared unconstitu-
tional by the highest court in the state
and bearing on the same subject,
was the one filming saloon men from
sl0 TO $50 for Sunday violation, and
men engaged in other business from 81
to $50. The legislature had no right
to so discriminate against the saloon
man. IL was the same way in regard
to BARRIERS plying their avocation on
the Sabbath. The courts decided that
they could not be fined any more than
anyone else.
He declared that any fifteen year
old boy who had been to school could
readily see that this saloon ordinance
was GLASS legislation Of the worst sort.
He said that the saloon man had as
much right to have frosted windows
and screens as BARRIERS, lawyers, den
fists or any one else.
He said further that no knew he
was often criticized, but that he never
attempted to say that = thing was
right. He merely passes on the le-
gality Of it. He said that he didn't
say il was rightEfor saloon to keep
open on Sunday, and didn't say It was
right to fine them for IL as source of
revenue, but that 1t was done, and he
help IL. He never goes into
one on Sunday snd his duty is merely
to fine them when they are brought
before him. He always fines them
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-12-27

$40, but could fine them as low ns 90.
Along this line he said that outsid-
ers may be led to believe that Padu-
cab is about the worst place In crea-
tion, but. that hep roposed to show that
ii was not. That it is not only a
moral town, but that IL is as moral ss
any city in the country for its size
and population. That In five years
there have not been 20 men arrest
ed for being drunk on the Sabbath,
that no killings or assaults, so far as
he could remember, occurred on the
Sabbath, and that people always went
to and from church without ever be
ing embarrassed or molested by drink
ing men, SO far as he knew.
He said that he was not afraid to
give his opinions, and tina. he was
against local option and against prohi-
bition, because neither prohibition OF
local option stopped whiskey drinking
in the least. That it made matters
worse as can be easily seen by look
ing at Msy6eld and many other To-
car option towns. Jokingly said that
he had been to Mayeld, and knew
what it meant That he had been In
the Blind tigers, and probably enjoyed
drink in Mayfeld more than at
home, because il cost more. The
young men either come here to get
drunk, most of them with q pistol in
their pocket, or to buy it at wholesale
prices to take back home and get
drunk themselves and get their friends
drunk.
He declared that the mistake that
is being made is in not fighting liquor
at the root. He said shat he did not
want to be understood as in favor of
liquor or liquor traffic, for he knew
the evil effects of it perhaps better
than most other people after many
years on the bench But that he knew.
that nothing could be accomplished
by always jumping on the saloon
man. That the liquor traffic is Ii.
censed and made legitimate by this
entire government from congress
down to the humblest councilman or
alderman. yet you never hear a con-
gresham or member Of the legis-
lsture reproached. It is always the
saloon man. He said as long as whis-
key is made and the sale Of IL legal
ICED, men will drink il and men will
