Why Some Towns Die.

More towns die from the want
of confidence on the part of bus
mess men and lack of public
spirit, than from the rivalry of
neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When a man in
search of a location finds town
where everybody is brimful of
hope and enthusiasm and is hard
at work to build up the town, he
soon becomes imbued with the
same spirit, and as a result he
drives down his stakes and goes
to work. k.-Ackley, lows, World.

ITS 0Wy FREED0M'
Sentiment Of General Charles
Emory Cmith.
HAD BEST RULE HERSELF


Former Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith. speaker at the annual
banquet OF the Fitchburg merchants
association. said in part:
"Mr. Chamberlain's plan proposes to
put q ring fence around Great Britain.
and then give a tariff preference to her
colonies. We cannot be unmindful that
this policy may have serious concern
for us, but IL we keep our rightful
trade weapons in our hands we need
not fear the issue. Will Canada be
content to sacrifice her own interests
for the interests OF English manufac-
turers? Will she consent to renounce
her own right of independent action
for the sake Of an empty imperial con-
nectton?
I'VE do not seek the annexation OF
Canada. We would not trammel the
political freedom or aspiration Of our
neighbor. IL the two countries which
stretch along side by side for 1900
miles shall ever come together II will
be with free and full consent by the
natural. law of gravitation; but, while
politically distinct, the two American
lands of kindred blood and law may
we'll have close commercial relations.
Why should they not In mutual inter-
est have an intelligent and statesman
like system Of broad reciprocal agree
ment?
I'VE have drawn a circle around the
Americans and made the Monroe doc
trine its dominant law. No extension
Of European power within that circle
will be allowed. 1t is only a deduction
Of that doctrine that no European war
shall be suffered to wage within the
American realm. Herein lies the true
safeguard of Canada in consulting and
protecting her own independent inter-
ests. free from imperial restraints and
burdens. and 1t will be wise and we'll
for her to UNI. stand and appreciate
the broad American spirit"

A STATE FISH HATCHERY
Ono 10 He Located at Pratt, Kansas, ~
Once.


Attorney General Coleman has at last
approved the abstract of title to the
site for the state fish hatchery neal
Pratt, Kan, and work will begin on the
hatchery in a short time. The abstract
was made out some time ago. but 1t
was deficient in some particulars and
Mr.. Coleman refused to approve 1t un-
til it was completed.
The law creating the fish hatchery
provides for an appropriation Of ST.
OCO for buildings and equipment for the
hatchery, but 1t specifies that a tract
OF at least five acres must first be deed
ed to the state for the site free of cost.
Getting the title to the site straight
ened out is what has delayed the con-
struction Of the hatchery.
Meanwhile Del Travis, state fish war
den, is busy distributing fish for stock
ing Kansas streams. He furnishes the
fish to the deputy wardens in cans con-
tanning 400 fish each. and the cans are
! emptied into the streams.
At present all the streams are being
stocked with fish which are purchased
from a private hatchery in Reno county
and every fish the state gets Is counted.
Those going to Nebraska streams re.
Gently were all counted.
