PROSPERITY IN KANSAS.

There has been no doubt but Kansas
has been enjoying an era of great pros
fperity during the recent years. There
is also no doubt as to its source
The indications at present are that
this prosperity is not only to continue
for at least another year, but that 1t is
to be greater than ever. Kansas never
had such a wheat crop as this year,
and there seems to be every prospect for
fair price for it. Kansas does not,
of course, rejoice that other parts of
the country have not been as greatly
blest as she has, but it seems to be a
fact Just the same that the states to
the east of us are not up to their aver
age in wheat production, while the out
look is not very fiattering for the spring
wheat crop in the north. All of which
means a fair price for Kansas bumper
crop.
Then, too reports seem to indicate
good corn crop in most sections of the
state, and a bumper wheat yield fol-
lowed by good corn is extremely UNI
usual. Plenty of corn. as a rule, means
that the live stock men will flourish, so
that all agricultural interests seem to
be we'll provided for this year.
In addition to her agricultural riches,
Kansas is finding out what lies beneath
the surface of the ground. and is get
ting rich from this source in some To-
calities. Oil and gas are adding mill
lions to the wealth of the southern part
of the state, and are bringing in many
large manufacturing industries. To be
sure there is danger that the oil bust
mes may develop into mere speculation
which may result disastrously, but it
cannot be denied that the oil industry
is pouring a great amount of real
wealth into the state.
Taking ,the state as a whole Kansas
was never more prosperous than she Is
today, and the prospects for the future
were never brighter. immigration is
steadily coming her way, and thousands
Of home-seekers are adding to her pop
ulation. And the reports of the big
wheat crop will simply tend to swell
the number of people who are coming
to make their homes in Kansas.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-08-08

not many years ago. 1t relates to the
seeming antagonism between the in
terests of a manufacturing east and
those of an agricultural west. The
question in Canada does not present
itself with the sharpness of the Ameri-
can issue. 1t never will so present
itself. This is not due to any essential
difference in conditions, but rather to
the fact that the Canadian question is
strangely influenced by the American
experience. Tens of thousands of Amer
leans who prospered in the United
States under the American system have
crossed to the Canadian northwest, not
to get away from that system, but be-
cause they prospered under it. They
have sold their farms in the United
States at a long advance over the orig
inal cost, and by buying Canada S
cheap lands they hope to repeat in that
country the process and the profit.

RETIREMENT OF GEN. MILES.

The army general staff measure. one
of the notable achievements of the
present administration. which. after
much discussion and elaboration. was
adopted some time ago, viii go into
effect on Saturday, and the provisional
general staff will give way on that day
to the permanent body. says the New
York Tribune editorially. 1t will be an
important day for the army, because it
will be the first of a new order of
things which, according to Secretary
Root, who is responsible for the change,
viii rebound to the benefit of the army.
The measure would undoubtedly have
become an operative fact sooner but
for the desire on the part of the author
tiles to allow Lieut.. Gen. Miles, the
commanding general, to serve out his
time without being compelled IN sacrt-
flee that title General Miles will re-
tire from active service on August 8,
and with his retirement the title Will
cease to exist. Gen. Samuel B. M
Young. who will fall heir to General
Miles three stars, will be the "chief of
the general staff" for six months before
he also will go on the retired list, and
Sumner, Chaffee, Macarthur and Cor
bin will probably all in turn hold the
position for short time before Their re-
tirement.
There are many people who, from SEN
timental reasons, regret that the title
which has been borne with honor and
distinction by men who helped to make
the history of the country should be
wiped out, and protests OF that kind
were heard by the men who framed the
army general staff measure. Sentiment
tality, however, had to give way before
system which was based on practical
business methods, with no leaning tow
ard spectacular effect. The fact that the
senior officer will not be known as the
commanding general will not bar his
way to glory in the United States any
more than that circumstances stood be-
tween Moltke and his laurels in Ger
many. On the other hand. the new or
der of things will make impossible that
embarrassing situation which might re-
suit from disagreement between the
head of the government and the COM
manding general of its army.

or less increase in liabilities as COM
pared with the same month last year,
and the corresponding month of most
other recent years, but it is encourag-
ing to find that the largest difference
was caused by few large suspensions
in Wall street, due to the speculative
situation, rather than to any unsound-
ness in the industrial structure. Eight

LooK ON BR1oHr SIDE.

Now that the strain and stress of ex-
citement has passed. and the supporting
arm of the relief committee Is being re-
moved. the question of living in North
Topeka has become a question of
nerve.
There are many discourag ing things
which confront people who are trying
to re-establish their homes on the other
side of the river. 1t is not merely the
loss of a few hundred dollars worth Of
furniture. 1t is not the immense labor
of cleaning away the mud and debris.
This is indeed enough to cast shadow
over the average household But this
is not what tests the nerve of the res
idents of North Topeka.
It is uncertainty as to the future
which causes a dragging down of spir-
its. 1t is walking along the half-clean-
ed sidewalks, and seeing house at
ter house standing vacant with here
and there a home from which the de-
spairing owner has not even commenced
to dig the wrecked furniture in the
mine of mud. It is seeing the business
houses. some of them stocked with a
pitiful assortment of goods, spread out
to cover as much space as possible, and
showing how deep was the cut
which the flood made into the
the fortunes of the proprietor. 1t is
the rumors OF real estate deals; OF
houses which were worth a thousand
dollars before the flood now being sold
for $500. In the face Of such discourage
ing sights, # takes nerve for people to
buckle down to business and look for
ward hopefully into the future.
Perhaps 1t is the mental effect of such
conditions which has caused the intense
feeling of North Topeka people in re-
gard to the distribution OF the relief
fund. 1t is easy for the viewpoint of
an Individual to be distorted by mis-
fortune. rendering that individual I'M
duly sensitive to offense. Perhaps the
same may be true of a collection of
individuals. Perhaps the harsh criti-
cisms which North Topeka is bestowing
upon the relief committee will be re-
GREETED in years to come when the flood
is not so obtrusive in its proximity.
But if they keep their nerve, North
Topeka residents will triumph over
their misfortunes. The present terror
of another flood will pass away. Neces-
sary dykes will be built along the river
front, the streets will be cleaned, new
street. car lines will be built, bringing
the west part of North Topeka into
close communication with the business
streets. Gradually the damaged houses
and barns viii be repaired. Little by
little the renters will come back. In a
few years North Topeka will be itself
again. The man who has nerve, and
hangs on in the face Of disappointment,
will come out all right. Five years
from now he will never know he has
been hit.

MOVE FOR BETTER HEALTH.

The establishment OF a pasteurizing
plant in Topeka by an organization of
the local milk dealers is an indication
OF advancement which should not be
overlooked in the recount of Topeka's
prosperity. The promise of the milk
purifying establishment means not only
good times for Topeka babies but a ter
mination of complaints about artihcially
cured" milk and other unwholesome-
nesses to which this popular beverage is
liable. Topeka has not many milk
scandals to regret, but, like every
other community, it sometimes has trou-
bles over its milk supply and holds in
vestigations, which accomplish nothing
further than to get the milk dealers
business into temporary disrepute.
The pasteurizat ton of milk has been
proven to be the only successful method
of purifying 1t wholly. That the Topeka
milkmen have so readily Joined interest s
for the establishment and operation of a
plant where their commodity may be
treated by this process is proof that
these men are disposed to deal with the
public fairly and even generously In

They took little gravel
And they took a little tar
With various Ingredients
Imported from afar.
They hammered It and rolled It
And when they went away
They said they had a. pavement
That would last for many a day.
But they came with picks and smote Il
To lay a water main;
And then they called the workmen
To put it back again.
To run railway cable
They took 1t up some more;
And they putt back again
Just where it was before.
They took it up for conduitS
To run the telephone;
And they put it back again
As hard as any stone.
They took it up for wires
To feed the 'lectric light,
And then they put ii back again,
Which was no more than right
3 Oh. the pavement's full of burrows;
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon 1t,
But it's seldom that you dare.
It's very handsome pavement
A credit to the town;
They're always diggin OF 1t up
Or putin of it down.
