Ex-sEcRETARy FAIRcHILo,s OPINION

ExSecretary of the Treasury Fairchild is out with
an opinion which is in effect in favor of such an
amendment to the currency laws as would render the
circulation elastic The country evidently does not
agree with Mr.. Fairchild He reflects the demand of
Wall street rather than the will or demand OF the
people This country. as a whole is no longer
dreading Wall street coilapses Fairchild says:
The country Is prosperous money. for the time
being at least is plentiful and can be had at rate

the year before and Yet there is still great and i'm

A sHoRT-GRAss PLUTocRAT.

The phenomenal success of many south Kansas
farmers is often instanced. Men of little or no
and of large families purchasing land on time
have in a thousand instances paid for their lands
built comfortable homes and educated their children
and become independent Wheat crops of single
year have in thousand instances paid for the land
and left large surplus for improvements
for the purchase of additional lands Corn and hogs
combined steers and pasturage in connection with
miscellaneous crops, have in few years left Kan
sas farmers rich. These successful farmers, for
the most part have been the lucky buyers and cul-
tvators of lands of superior quality the lands of
bottoms and valleys and of pasture lands of well
watered streams, and But meanwhile the
lands of the short grass" country of the western
half of the state were at discount For general
agricultural purposes, after year or two of trial
they were pronounced improbable and of little value
But the demonstrated excellence of the flour made
from Kansas hard wheat and the fact that hard
wheat proves to be in a sense indigenous to the
calcareous soil of the short grass" country new
refrain reaches the world from that section But
wheat is not all. AS instance of possible wealth
in short grass lands there lives a man. north
west of Wichita less than hundred miles. and
south of the Arkansas river, who few years ago
squatted a quarter-secton of short grass" land
his entire earthly possessions consisting of a poor
team and seventyfve dollars cash That short grass
man today owns thirty thousand acres of land all
paid for, and modern home which is almost pala-
tial in its proportions. He neither plows nor reaps
but his income is from five to seven thousand dollars
year. What of his short grass acreage is not held
for his own herds is rented out pasture for the
herds of others. Stockwater, sunshine and short
grass are his stock in trade and working capital

rings in their ears shirts of spectacular hue,
corduroy suits and widebrimmed hats. One man,

Buffalo did not say from whence he party came, but
it was cleaned from his conversation that all had
just come from Ellis Island under his guidance.
Buffalo was not inclined to be communicative,
but he said enough to foster impression that he
headed little colony that going to locate near
Provo The sturdy of sunny Italy with him
would form the bone and sinew of the colony and

Nothing was said directly about naming city OF

REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION VICTORY

Congressman Charles F. Scott in lola Register:
The decision of the Alaskan boundary commission
practically sustaining wnoie United States con-
tenton is another victory for the diplomacy of two
Republican administrations. In the campaign Of 1900
of the fercest arraignments by the Democracy
of the Mckinley administration was that 1t had
"trucked" TO Great Britain in the Alaskan boundary
matter And during the last session of congress Coch
ram of Missouri, and other Democratic spellbnders,
poured forth many eloquent phippics against the
Roosevelt administration based upon the same
charge Presumably of the Democratic party had
been in power would have had war with England,
that practically what the Democratic leaders
demanded AS it is have forced an English tri-
bunal after trial in the capital of lneir coun-
try to admit that the British claims were without
foundation. Could there be completer victory than
that? And that is the way the Republican party does
things.

SPEAKER CANNON ON NEXT CONGRESS,

Joseph Cannon, of illinois, who will be the speaker
of the next congress- is very leve[headed man, not
only But an honest of many years experience
in congress For a decade he has been the dread OF
lobbyists and promoters and of all classes and COM
binations seeking gratis on Uncle Sans treasury.
No man in the country comprehends more clearly
the dangers threatened by the inflated interests of
the present and that any tinkering with the cur
rency laws or with existing tariff schedules might
preciptate a panic of widespread disaster. few
months ago when the over-capitazed trusts and
commbines of the country were pressing President
Roosevelt to recommend to congress such amend
ments to the currency laws Of the country would
authorize the secretary of the treasury to throw
open the United States treasury in the event of
money stringency and panic, Joe Cannon announc-
that he would fight to the death every such
ure, on the floor of the house. That was before it
known that he would be speaker. Now
speaker of the house he will have almost unlimited
power over pending legislation No man knows this
better than himself and no living knows how
to render such power effective. So it will interest
and reassure the business interests of this country
to know that Cannon has given it out that in his
opinion only routine business and the necessary ap
preparations should be taken up at the coming
sion Of congress- He declares against all new appro
priations, new gratis and ventures of every
character He says public building bills,
but only the continuance of appropriations for pro-
jects hitherto authorized general river and har-
Dor BILL but only provisions for contract work pro-
vided for by previous sessions no tariff legislation
of any kind and reciprocity legislation except for
Cuba; no financial legislation, and no changes in
expansion of antitrust legislation already on the
statute books. In fact, nothing new, novel or start
ling in legislation and only the utmost conservatism
Finally, adjournment of congress by April or in
May, at the latest

By Aloysius Coll.

All summer long the zephyr wooed the leaf
In vain with pleading suns, and driving storms;
Then sulIen came and went, his ardor lost
His greeting curt his word breath of frost
Red bushed the leaf and swooned into his arms!
Long summer days wooed my love in vain
Flouted to scorn by lake and changing sea;
| met her brown October in my mood
Frost in my heart and autumn N my blood
Straightway she smiled, and gave herself to me!
