IT appears that, after all the com.
motion, North Dakota will not profit
by the irrigation law. The govern
ment authorities having charge of the
expenditure OF the sixteen, million
dollars of funds Claim that this state
does not possess the typographical
features that will allow of irrigation
on scale large enough to be Of much
consequence. North Dakota fur
nishes a large proportion Of the land
sales money, but It is likely that all
the funds from that source will be
spent In the territories and In other
states.

SOMETHING ABOUT POULTRY.

KEYS should not remqse tl,a head and

not purchase Ninbless Or headless
fowls, as the condition Of the extrem.
tiles named shows whether the bird
died from roup, blind-staggers, tuber-
cul0sis or the penetration Of Its jugu-
lar by 9 knife blade. Metropolitan
poultry dealers are sald TO become
very expert In such matters. Some u
them can view the head Of q dead
fowl and tell whether 1t was stolen or

LUCK IN HOLDING HANDS.

LUCK IN HOLDING HANDS.
He called ON her; the other night,
And held her hand,
And told her how the world seemed
bright,
And fair, and grand.
Then, with a sudden rush of pluck,
Said: "Wish l always had the luck

And we would always happy be,
Both you and me.
Next evening at the club he held
Another hand.
He sconped the pot and fairly yelled:
"Thia beats the band!
Say, mister, that was nip and tuck!
Wish i always had the luck
To hold this hand!
And I could myself almost hug"

THE HARMONY MOVEMENT.

Kansas Republican editors are devot-
ing great deal of space to a plea for
harmony but so far as real harmony is
concerned it appears to be no nearer
than it was a year or six months ago.
There appears to be an insurmoun-
table obstacle in the way of harmony"
Both sides apparently want peace but
neither is willing to surrender any of
the pres tige or perquisites that go with
political control. The leaders insist upon
harmony providing of course that they
are recognized in the readjustment CT
affairs. That was the trouble with the
so-caIle1 ''anti-machine" movement
started two years ago. The promoters
of the new organization wanted to GUST
the other fellows so that they could get
their places and the result is that this
exclusive little society was short lived
because when the people came to I'M
derstamd the real purpose of the promo
tiers they withdrew their support.
1t is evident that if there is to be
harmony it must come from the rank
and file of the party. The people are
little interested in whether this or that
man occupy an office so it is honestly
and efficiently administered. They also
care little whether this or that faction
is in control in Kansas. What they want
is men they can trust and it matters
little to them whether they are en-
dorsed by David Mulvane. Charles Cur
it's Morton Albaugh or Cyrus Leland.
There is a great effort now being made
to discredit the so-called machine" but
the noise is being made by men who are
certainly as much of a close corporation,
as a political machine can be. 1t is an
other case of the pot calling the kettle
black.
The chickering's and determinations that
are now overshadowing Republican poll
ties in Kansas will continue until the
people take a hand and relegate both
factions to back seat. Then there will
be real harmony-for while.

BAILEY,s ANNoUNCEMENr.

Governor Bailey's announcement that
he win be a candidate for reelection
will occasion no surprise. 1t is one of
the long established prerogatives of a
governor to receive denomination at
the hands of his party and there was
little reason to believe that Mr.. Bailey
would waive the custom and decline the
honor.
The governor says that he would rath-
er be on his farm in Nemaha county
than in the governors chair but if he
were questioned he would probably am
plify the statement by explaining that
he would rather be on his farm if he
had never been governor and knew
what would be expected of him as the
chief executive of Kansas.
Governor Bailey is much like other
men. There is no doubt that he has
honestly tried to do his best for the
people of Kansas. He has made mis-
takes as any man will but in the main
he has been a good, conservative officer.
He would deem it a personal rebuke if
he were not renominated and no man
enjoys being rebuked. And while Gov
ernor Bailey no doubt will welcome his
farm as a haven of rest he wants it to
be after he has served the usual two
terms as the chief executive officer of
Kansas

AFTER THE COAL TRUST.

The county commissioners have
thought out Il plan to circumvent the
coal trust, though in a very limited ex-
tent. Every year the poor commits
sioner distributes many tons of coal
among the INDECENT families. This year
the commissioners propose to furnish
wood instead of coal.
There is no trust on firewood in Kan
sas, for the very good reason that the
supply of firewood is limited. The
price of wood is high and the query
naturally arises, How will the COM
missioners get the wood at prices cheap
enough to save money for the county?
There is another thing to be thought
of in this connection. Is it not possible
that there will be no poor people who
will have to he supplied with fuel in
Topeka next winter? There are no Iule
men in ToDeks no.. The laborere ire
paid higher price than ever before,
and this ought to help solve the fuel
situation so far as the county is con-
cerned. 1t may therefore not be neces-
sary for the county commissioners to
cudgel their brains 10 find a way to
get ahead of the coal trust

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The eastern papers are devoting much
editorial space to the decline of the
merchant marine in America. and the
situation is also being discussed in the
west. The Trans Mississippi CONNER
cial congress which met at Seattle a
few weeks ago, had the subject up for
consideration, and while no solution
was offered the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, BY the Trans Mississippi
congress, in fourteenth annual conven-
ton assembled, and representing
twenty-one states and territories west
of the Mississippi river, that the de-
cline Of our oversee American mer-
chant marine from carrying 80 per cent.
of cur exported products in American
bottoms down to Q per cent, is an
anomaly in the Industrial development
of the United States. and for nation
with a greater coast line. greater re-
sources and an unbroken record of en-
terprise and intreDidity on the ocean.
Resolved. That every ship is a mis-
sionary of trade; that steamship lines
work for their own countries Just as
railroad lines work for their terminal
points. and that it is as absurd for the
United States to depend upon foreign
ships to distribute our products as it
would be for a department store to de-
pend upon the wagons of a competing
house to deliver its goods.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
congress that the congress of the United
States should enact such laws as will
tend to build I'D the American merch-
ant marine"
