Kansas Farmer: Kansas furnishes
preachers for New York pulpits. &C.
tors for her stages, fnanciers for her
Wall Street, statesmen for Washing
ton, officers and men for the army
and navy, and writer's for the world
OF letters. Kansas furnished the man
who first scaled the walls Of Pekin,
the men who swan the Bag bag River,
and the man who captured Aguinaldo.
Kansas is the center OF the Union.
Her history is written in capitals and
punctua,ed with exclamation points.
Her adjectives are superlatives, and
her facts would be hyperbole in other
states. As the glitteriug domes and
minarets, the statues and colonades,
the towers and pinnacles Of the
Worlds Fair, which are made from
the product Of her gypsum quarries,
exceed In splendor all that has gone
Le.ere, so Kansas exceeds her sister
states and yet her past is but the be-
ginning.

ID the course Of afew days KAnSai
will reach the iiftisth year Of Its sepa-
rate identity. II was on the S0th day
Of May, 1854, that President franklin
Pierce attached his signature to the
bill piloted through congress by Sena-
tor Stephen A. Douglas, which meas
ure organized the territories Of Kan.
sas and Nebraska. At that time
he nor anybody else realized that he
was connecting his name with one oil
the most portentous pieces Of legisla-
tion ever placed on the national stat
ute book. This act started the armed
conflict between the north and south
on the Kansas prairies, killed the
Wing party, created the Republican
party to meet the new issue, split the
Democratic party In the Kansas Le-
compton constitution fight Of 1858,
made the division broad and deep in
the Charleston convention Of 1860,
rendered Lincoln's election certain In
that year, precipitated secession and
civil war, killed slavery and placed
a negro issue in politics which is In it
still.
1t would seem that Kansas, after
starting such formidable chain Of
events, ought to commemorate the
fiitieth anniversary Of its birth on an
imposing scale. She will not do this,
partly because the anniversary strikes
in the worlds fair year, when another
big event in American history is to
have its centennial. Lawrence, To-
peka and one or two other cities,
however, are to have local obser-
vances, and these, even in this inter-
national exposition time, ought to at
tract some attention from the country
at large. Nebraska, which was yoked
with Kansas In the initial stage OF the
catastrophe, will also hold some local
celebrations.
The BATTLEFRONT commonwealth
for Kansas deserves this designation
even more than does Nevada or West
Virgins, to each OF which it is occa-
sionally applied-which helped to
make some very important history
while it was in the territorial stage,
has not been idle even in more recent
times. 1t did more to shape the Pop
ulist party than Ohio did to bring
out the Greenback party and Popu-
lism was Greenbackism, plus several
ideas invented for the occasion. 1t
was on the firing line in the turbu-
lent canvass of 1896. Everything
new in politics or sociology for the
past quarter of a century has either
been generated to Kansas or had its
first concrete application here. But
that states ebullitionS subSide quickly
and it swings back into conservation,
as it has done again in the past few
years. Kansas is the country's most
picturesque commonwealth. The
ayes Of every intelligent American
will be en- 1t on its hali-century birth
lay on May 80, 1904.

indignant protest of Republicans who
took part in primaries on the judge
