No Old eroOmcorn In Stock.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY Reports from
the broom corn belt in Mcpherson and
Rice counties state that not a pound
of old broom corn now remains in
the hands of the producers there. This
is something that has not happened
before in the past twenty-five years.
There is a shortage on acreage this
year over last year and consequently
tie price of corn mas advanced Is to
% per cent in the last few days. The
shortage on acreage is greater in the
East than here and in Illinois it is re.
ported 80 per cent lass than last year
Besides the acreage being short, all
corn is late and the stand is poor, so
in all probability the price of corn
will advance still more.

Will Call for Showdown.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY Kansas IS
going to call for a showdown with
the government when congress con
venes next winter. Whenever any
plan is suggested for the improvement
of the Kaw river to avoid floods the
claim is set up that it is a government
stream and under government control
If this is true, then Kansas will ASK
the government to spend some of its
river and harbor appropriations along
the Kaw river. If congress refuses
TO do that then Kansas will ask that
the government give up its control o.
the river so that the state can dc
something. Congressman Miller will
handle the case for Kansas on the
floor of congress.

Changing tariff schedule that hap

with the time is quite a different thing
from tariff reform" When Samuel
]. Tilden was alive the modified Nor
rill law was in force. 1t was in force
when Grover Cleveland was president
for the first time. The Morrill, law
was changed twenty-three times, but
these changes in schedules did not
prevent tariff reform" from being the
slogan Of the democracy under both
Tilden and Cleveland. In other words,
tariff reform" is quite different from
changing schedule that is out Of
time. Tariff reform" is the Demo-
cratic version of the industrial issue.
It was then, is now and WIN continue
to be. Republicans might as well stay
on their own side of the issue, for
when 1t comes to the next national
campaign they will either have to
stand for protection, without apologies,
or compete with Democrats on their

KANSAS CITY.-(Special.) Harry
Roberts, 16 years old, of this city, rode
from Topeka to Argentine, a distance
of sixty-one miles, on top Of the Santa
Fe fast mail train.
AS the train passed through the
Argentine yard, S. H. Todd, special
officer, who was standing on the via
duct over the tracks, saw something
on top of the mail car. In the moon
light he thought it moved, but the
rapid motion of the train prevented
him seeing what the object was. The
officer blew his whistle and the yard
men signaled the train to stop. Todd
climbed onto the car and found Rob-
erts clinging to the roof. The boy
was arrested and locked up in the
Argentine jail
When brought before Judge H. H.
Liscenbee in police court Roberts said
he had been working in Oklahoma;
that he had reached Topeka, and hav-
ing no money, decided to "bum" his
way to his home in this city. He
went to the Santa Fe yards and
climbed on top of the mail car while
the train was standing.

AS the Journal has said before, the
record made by the operation of the

only absolutely determining proof OF

what that has been; he knows thai
under the tariff the American republic

permanently advanced in wealth pro

an extent approached by no other PEG
pie in the worlds history. 1t is true
that, incidentally, domestic manufac
lures have been made possible and
that they are fostered by the tariff
but who believes that to have been
all that the tariff has done? And who
believes that prices of protected prod
ucts have in any single instance been
sustained as result solely of protec
ton? At time when the country
was solely dependent upon Great Brit
ain for free wire nails, English wire
nails sold for So; under a later duty
of So keg, homemade wire nails sold
for less than 81 keg. The duty on
