The Folly of Free-Trade.

A paper which is constantly agitat-
ing itself over the evils of the pres
ent Protective Tariff, IN an article
on England's food supply, says that
Sin I854-55 the United Kingdom
was practically growing enough
wheat to feed her population of 10
900, 900; but in 1900 1901 only one
fifth of the wheat consumed by the
population of Al, 800, 900 was grown
in the British Isles, the other four
hfths being imported from foreign
countries" Admiral Freemantle of
the British Navy recently called at
tention to Great Britain's depend
ence and helplessness in case of
war with the United States, and
warned the British people of the per-
lis incident to becoming a nation of
middlemen, with constant decline in
the sources of domestic production.
Great Britain ceased to raise its
own wheat when it adopted the pol
icy of Free Trade. The agricul-
ture of Great Britain hourished as
long as there was a duty on British
grown wheat. The value of its acres
have declined, and fields which bore
large yields of wheat under high cul-
ture have been put into grass. The
farms have been abandoned and the
cities are crowded with population.
thousands of whom, within the past
few weeks, have marched in process

There is no labor for them. Great
Britain buys her bread little cheap
err in the United States and other
countries, but bent on cheapness,
she has lost the independence Incl
dent to her ability to raise the wheat.
For a time she controlled the mar
kets of the world for her textiles,
iron and other manufactures, but in
these things the other nations have
overtaken her, and now Great Brit

Topeka Drys Win.

r., rou,e n he Republican
party in Topeka over the mayoralty
in Topeka has been watched with
great interest all over the state.
The disgraceful condition of affairs
in our capital city for the last two
years has excited the pity and con-
tempt of all law abiding and order
loving citizens of the state. That
Topeka, the city that has always
been looked upon as model by the
rest of the state, should so far for
get her position as to turn her gov
eminent over to the buns and thugs,
has been beyond the comprehend on
of the good people of the state.
The result of the primaries there
the other day indicate that the peo-
pie of Topeka have finally awaken
ed to the necessities of the occasion
and are going to elect mayor and
council who will be interested in
building up the good. of the city and
driving the thugs and buns from
her midst. The issue for nomina-
ton of mayor by the Republicans
was squarely drawn. 1t was a
straight cut contest for supremacy
between those who desired saloons
and Joints and those who wished to
see the prohibitory law enforced.
Mr.. Bergundthal was the candi-
date of the law enforcement people
and Mr.. Lewis of the saloon element.
There was no Sinking the issue, it
was plain wet or dry with no side
dishes. Mr.. Burgundthal won by
an overwhelming maj ority. The
facts are he received almost enough
votes to elect him had they been
received in the general election.
Mr.. Lewis and the leaders in the
opposition to Mr.. Burgundthal have
notified him that he will have their
undivided and hearty support. Mr..
Burgundthal viii be elected by a
handsome majority and the state
laws will be enforced in Topeka as
they should be in every city of the
state.

Fables by Tom McNeal.

When the toad was created and
turned loose in the world he hoped
over to pond of water and looked
into the calm surface. The reflection
of himself sort of gave him chill and
he said, II am certainly up againstit.
No pop eyed, wart covered individual
like myself can ever get into society,
but | seem TO be here and | am going
to make the best play can by doing
the square thing"
For several years the toad and his
family had tough layout. There was
strong prejudice against them; boys
threw rocks at them, and Older people
killed them, but the toads went right
along, hopping out of the way when
they could and taking their medicine
when they had to, catching bugs and
flies and insects that we're doing up
the crops of man. After awhile few
p( 0 ole commenced to take some notice
of the toads. They observed that
whenever toad was out it was busy
taxing n insects chat hurt the crops
and fruits. and that so far as they see
the toad never did anybody harm.
Then the observing people went out
and began to talk for the toad and
told their neighbors that as matter
of fact the toad was good friend of
the farmer and ought TO be encouraged
instead of abused. AS the years wore
on the toad increased in favor. Far
mers' Institutes passed resolutions
commencing him and boys ceased to
heave rocks at him as they passed by.
And when this happy change had
come about a member of the toad
family, as his ancestor had done be-
fore, looked into pool of water and
said: "Our family aren't much on looks
for fact but we have demonstrated
that if you do the square thing and
make yourself useful, after awhile
people will get over the prejudice
against your personal appearance"

Americas Exceptional Good
Fortune.

Americans, enjoying degree Of
prosperity rarely experienced, can
scarcely realize the distress that at
this moment is affecting great por-
ton of the human family in Europe
and Asia. To begin with, there is
the terrible famine prevailing in
Northern Sweden which appeals par
ticularly to Kansas, with its large
and respected Swedish population
numbering many thousand people.
The distress of the inhabitants OF
the flooded region of Sweden is
pathetic In the extreme and calls for
immediate succor from the generous
people of the civilized world. Thous
ands of families are on the verge OF
actual starvation. 1t is to the credit
Of this state that it has organized
promptly to solicit and dispatch
such relief as it can. In India not
thousands but millions are still suf-
fering from the terrible famine of a
wear or two ago, which was but one
of many similar visitations due to
the misgovernment of the country.
In China reports state that the re-
gion devastated year or two ago
by the Boxers and the allied foreign
armies and the irresponsible classes
who took advantage of golden op-
portunity for loot is pretty thorough
ly stripped, and the people lack the
means to raise the taxes to pay the
national indemnity and provide fol
their own needs. In Siberia, parts
of Russia and in Finland similar dis
tress of large populations is report
ed. The general business and In
dustrial conditions of Europe are
below normal and have been for
period of years running back to the
beginning of the Boer war, which
withdrew millions OF money from
industrial use for the purposes o.
the war in South Africa.
The United States is enjoying al
together exceptional prosperity
with every present prospect OF con
tinuing so for some time to come
1t is not to be wondered that thu
migration statistics show remark
able increase in the last few years
or that this Gland of the free" is thu
Mecca for the home seekers of th'
whole world.-Topeka Capital.
