KANSAS AHEA) AGAIN.
Furniture Selling in New York at High Prices.
Result of Tree Planting.

New York, Nov. 3o.--The New York Herald
says to-day: Furniture made from Kansas
timber is selling in New York and is demand
ing high price. The Kansas which twenty
FIVE years ago was prairie state, literally, is
now growing timber which is beginning to
compete with older states in the manufacture
of furniture.
"This remarkable making over of Kansas, :"
said leading New York furniture dealer, ere
suits from the good work of the Kansas state
commission of forestry established about ten
years ago. A t>w years ago few trees were to
be found back of the Missouri river, except
along some of the streams. Now farmers are
planting them at the rate. of two million year.
1t is not unusual for Kansas farmer to drive
fifty miles for load of young trees.
"The Jayhawker has done what no other
has done and is growing forests where once it
was all prairie. One of the best examples CT
the use of growing trees for snowbreaks can be
seen along the line of the Santa Fe, out of
Dodge City, aud for a distance of about seven
teen miles to the eastward. triple row OF
trees reaches almost the entire distance and for
several seasons has prevented a snow blockade
along one of the worst pieces of track on the
railroad.
"Both the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific
are considering the advisabilty of planting
trees along their tracks in other parts OF the
state where difficulty is experienced in keeping
the tracks clear of snow in the winter. The
principal varieties of trees planted are the black
and honey locust, the alanthus, box elder, ca
talpa, white ash, soft maple, Usage orange, null
berry and cottonwood. The greatest demand
seems to be for the honey locust, because it
grows quicker than some Of the other kinds. v

To Prevent Railroad Accidents.

John Rowland, in Chicago Tribune.
"How are you going to prevent collisions on
great railroad system?" was the heated ques.
ton asked by Chicago railway official in the
year of the Worlds fair in Chicago, when
there had been an appalling loss of life in one
of these disasters. The question was pro.
pounded by layman, who also was heated by
the argument
81 have sovereign remedy" was the reply.
Gin any case involving passenger train which
is to meet another train on single track, I'd
strap the president of the road to the pilot of
one engine and the vice president to the cow
catcher of the other. How many years would
these trains run without colliding?"
1t is this personal element that is lacking in
the railroads today. Fighting in legislative
bodies against some fixed sum as the lump
value of human life seems to have been the
nearest that railway management in these
it is "the public be D.; individuality of
the victim there is the sentiment for the most
part that the dead person is more to be desired
as victim than is the manned
Accidents will occur in railroading. Life
and death in all conditions of society will be
within fingers touch of each other. But no
man will say that, in comparison with the
civilizations of Europe, the American people
are not paying an intoe-able tribute in life to
the operation of its steam railroad systems.

THE PASSING OF MORGAN.

J. Pierpont Morgan, the great ''hnancier"
who, most everybody said would soon own the
earth, has come to the "jumpng-of place. F"
He went up like rocket and came down like
a stick.
Morgan seemed to be getting control of every
thing in sight. He captured railroads and
steamship lines. He absorbed mines. He
controlled the iron and steel output of the
country. In fact, he was beginning to think
he owned the earth. But he scared too high,
and when the hot air was let out Of his balloon,
he came down in hurry.
John D. Rockefeller, the oil king, was too
much for Morgan. Rockefeller couldn't bear
to see rival come into the arena, so, with a
simple twist OF the wrist, he punctured Mr..
Morgan's tire and let the wind and water OUT
and Morgan is now one of the has-beens.
Rockefeller is king.

WHY CUT WAGES, THEN?

We clip the following from the Topeka State
Journal:
at is worth noting, says Clews & Co.'s
Financial Review, that the railroad situation
continues very satisfactory. Earnings are
larger than previous banner years, and many
of the we'll known roads are earning much in
excess of present dividends. One thing is as
sure as any business condition can be, and that
is that there will be no reduction in the divi-
dends of the we'll established and we'll managed
roads, the margin of profit being already so
ample that moderate contraction of expenses
or improvements will insure the stability OF
dividends In many instances the enormous
OUTLAWS for reconstruction, ETC., paid out of
earnings will soon cease altogether, and this
may result i'll bringing some of the non-divi-
dend payers into the regular dividend list

ever visited England He has been lionzed,
and his every remark has been favorably COM
mented upon.
Mr.. Bryan visited parliament, the other day.
He first went to the house of birds, but it was
not to his liking, and he remained only few
minutes, and soon went to the house of COM
mons, where 'sthe great American commoner"
felt more at home.
r. He visited Belfast, Ireland, where, last Mon
day, he was shown the'cabled report that Grover
cleveland had withdrawn from The presidential
contest. In regard to this, he said:
81 suppose the item has undergone some
Transformation in crossing the ocean, for Mr..
& cleveland could not withdraw from the contest
Every we'll, because he never formally entered it.
LII his friends will regard Lis retirement from
\ politics as permanent and recognize the impos-
Essibility of carrying the Democratic party back
Ito his views and policies, there will be some
possibility of harmony i'll the party. If the
stDemocratic party is to play an important part
in American affairs, it must accentuate the differ
8ence between its platform and the Republican
ssposition. Mr.. Cleveland's friends, by support
The Republican party, gave emphasis to the
spoints of similarity, rather than to the points
Eof difference"
III Mr.. Bryan lunched with the lord mayor of

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is taking a lively
interest in the gubernatorial contest in Illinois.
He says he wants the best man chosen; that a
mistake would inure the national ticket.
Every move that President Roosevelt takes and
almost every sentence he utters in public is
with view to his own reelection. 1t seems
that we have very few public men in Office who
take single thought about the best interests
of the nation Personal success seems to be
their only aim.

"Man's humanity to Man.
Icon INUNDATED.


There can be no truer accusation brought
against men than that "man's nhumanity to
man makes countless thousands mourn; and
the strangest feature about the whole naevo-
lent action of the exploiter of the creators of
the wealth of this nation is that the majority of
those who suffer from the manner in which
business is done are the ones who suffer from
their insane acts.
For the last forty years, our law making
bodies have been so manipulated that none but
the wealthy become the benefciaries of the
.law, while many of the laws do not contain an
element of good sense. Take, for instance, the
law allowing a mechanic to enforce the pay
ment of debt Tor work doIe. He cannot col
ect more than the amount Of his labor; the
cost of the material he cannot collect, ignoring
the fact that the material cost him other labor,
and is just as sacredly his due as the more re-
cent labor; anG if the time Of the debt extends
one day over two years, the debt is outlawed,
and he mas no standing in court. The fact
which clouds any hope of lettering conditions
is that many church members and preachers
are allied with all classes Of exploiters of the
poor There is no longer any question that
the Christian churches are Judaising the world.
Every business arsaction-every evidence
is labeled with interest. These church men,
beers and preachers are careful 10 cite you to
the Bible as their rule of life. Their rule of
life is blurred when it arragns self. Let.them
take the XIV Psalm, where the Psalmist asks:
"Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?" And, after
naming various ones who shall dwell there, he,
comes to the usurer, and says: "He that put
teth not out his money to usury. He that
doeth these things shall never be moved"
They will tell you that usury means unlaw-
tul interest. There is no such word as unlaw-
full interest in the Bible, nor is the word inter-
est found there. 1t means, simply, taking an
increased pay for the use of money.
The Jew was allowed to take usury from
strangers, but NOT from his Irother Jew. He
might exploit the Samaritans, but not the Jew.
Strangers were his quarry. Strangers
that-and they only.
Now, under the economy of grace, the Chris
tian religion, there are no strangers. Then
will the gatherers of interest hold up some one
who is his BROTHER. eff thy brother be fallen
poor, thou shalt not be to him usurer."
The command, then, is not to be an usurer on
anything that is lent on usury.
No wonder the churches are waning. The
god of Greed has captured the membership.
They must dethroae the idol. Will they?
