THE BOARD OF AeR1CU1TURE.

Few people appreciate the work that
is being accomplished at present
through such organizations as the KAN
sas Board of Agriculture. which has
been in session in Topeka this week,
and kindred organizations. It is large
ly through the work of these mediums
that the work of the United States
department of agriculture and the ex-
pertinent stations is made valuable to
the general run of farmers of the cou1-
try.
For that matter few people realize
the tremendous revolution that is now
in progress in agricultural lines. Farm
ing is rapidly becoming a profession,
or rather a business and a profession
combined. The successful farmer of
the future must have a scientific train
ing the same as the professional man,
and he must also have a business
training in order to get the most out
of his products after he has raised
them. More has been accomplished In
developing the science of agriculture in
the past ten years than ever before in
all the worlds history. Time was when
only serfs and peasants titled the soil,
and it was regarded as too lowly an
occupation for a man of intellect. al
though the whole world drew its sus-
tenance from that source. Even today
the farmer is referred to sometimes as
Il s'hayseed" or a "cIodhopper." but
that time is rapidly passing. and the
next generation will regard farming as
one OF the highest and most honorable
of pursuits.
Such men as Prof. Hays of Mime
sofa, who Iectured at the state house
last night; Prof. Davenport of Illinois,
who also has been here this week; Hop
kins and Shamel, also of Illinois: Cur
tiss of Iowa, Bailey of the Cornell Col
lege of Agriculture, and others, are
bringing this condition about. They
are not only developing the scientific
side of agriculture. but they are work
ing out the problems of making this
science of practical benefit to the
farmer, and how to improve the condi-
lions of country life. and the lessons
are taught to the farmers through such
organizations as the one which has
been in session here this week.
It has been by no chance that the
farmers of Kansas are SO much fur
Their on the easy side of life today than
they were eight years ago. 1t is true
that they have had better crops. but
this has not been the whole thing.
Each year they are learning more about
how to handle their crops: they have
the telephone and rural free delivery;
they are enabled to do much more
work with less drudgery through
the improvement of farm machinery;
they read the daily papers, and their
families have books and magazines,
Dian0s and r1lhher-fired b111Ries All
this has not been brought about by
chance, but it is the result of work
and study on the part of some one
And this development is only just
started. The next fifty years will see
such great improvements that the farm
er of today would scarcely recognize
the business as his boy will then con-
duct it. 1t will be more marvellous
than the development and application
of electricity to the problems of man
kind.

REVOLT AGAINST mULvANE.

The threatened revolt against D. W.
Mulvane and his machine in Shawnee
county politics is entirely unexpected
and will therefore occasion a great
deal of surprise. For years the politics
of this county has been controlled by a
small crowd of politicians of which Mr.
Mulvane is ostensibly the head. These
people have had everything their own
way. If they wanted to elect Burton
representative they did so. If they de-
creed that a certain man should be
trustee of Menoken or Monmouth town
ship it was straightway a fact. Oc-
casionally they have met rebuff in
municipal politics but that was because
of the activity of the women and the
women have not learned how to be
controlled-in politics.
Mr.. Mulvane's latest edict is that the
state machine must be destroyed and
he has sent his trusted lieutenant, John
Dudley, out with instructions to have
this thing done, though he is also to
have the help of Mr.. Stubs. Once
Dudley confined his operations entirely
to local affairs but now he is reaching
out and is the manager of the whole
First district. Mr.. Dudley is faithful.
He never is false to his captain and IL
there is anything that men Dave"
decide is to be done he always lends
all his energies to it's accomplishment.
To be sure, Mr.. Dudley was not mucn
of a success as custodian of the state
house but this may have been because
he devoted too much time to Mr.. Null
vanes interests.
Mr.. Dudley and Mr.. Mu1vane have
had a few assistants more or less able.
Just now they do not care very much
about local politics There are two
things that they are particularly anx-
ious to accomplish. one is the reelection
of Mr.. Mulvane as national committee
man ana the other is the reelection of
Senator J. r. Burton to the United
States senate. Governor Bailey may
hamper the ambition of Mr.. Burton.
and therefore it is decreed that he
must be defeated, though this is mere
ly secondary to tEta great object in
view-the reelection of Burton and
Mulvane. Morton A1baugh may also
be an impeachment and so he must be
disposed Of though this is also merely
an incident in the accomplishment of
the two great objects.
Knowing all this, is it not rank
treason to oppose Mr.. Mulvane and the
Shawnee county machine? The people
of Shawnee county are no doubt de-
voted to Mr. Burton, and if they are
there is no reason why his faithful
friend and supporter should not be
allowed to have full sway Therefore
it is most unseemly to oppose Mr.. Null
vane in Shawnee county.

TOPEKA AND IRIS CONVENTIONS

Again Topeka has done a great
stunt" in the entertainment of con-
ventions, and has done it so easily that
it has passed along quite as matter
of course.
During the week which had just clos
ed, seven important state meetings
have been going on: some of them con-
tinuously throughout the week, some
for only one a day. 1t is estimated
that upwards of 5000 out of town peo-
pie have attended these meetings, eth
er as delegates or spectators. Most OF
these visitors have been here during
the last half of the week. The follow
ing were the state meetings which were
in progress: State Agricultural society,
Stock Breeders, Swine Breeders, State
Fair association, State Veterinary as
ISOLATION and State Poultry show. In
addition to these was the boss bus
ters' " meeting Wednesday, and the
meeting of the Populist state central
committee Thursday.
There has been no complaint of lack
of hotel accommodations, no complaint
Of poor halls in which to hold the meet
ings, no complaint of extortionate
rates. AS far as it is possible to learn,
everybody is thoroughly satisfied with
the way Topeka has done its part.
There is no town in the state which
can compare with Topeka as a conven-
ton city. It presents advantages which
can not be duplicated or even success
fully initiated. 1t is the capital of the
state, and every citizen of the state
has a right to the use of Representa-
tive hall for state meetings. Besides
this splendid audience room, the city
of Topeka offers free of charge for
state conventions the use of its mag
nificent Auditorium, with a seating ca
pacity of over 1000. Topeka has bigger
hotels, and more medium priced hotels,
than any other city in the state, and it
has had experience in taking care of
crowds.
When it comes down to a question of
merit and advantageous location in the
center of population. there is no use in
any town opposing Topeka as a con-
vention city. 1t is only when politics
get mixed up with business that state
meetings or conventions are liable to
get switched off to some second-rate
town where the delegates will suffer for
something to eat and a place to sleep,
and get robbed for what they do get.
It is only under such conditions that
conventions need be crowded into in
adequate and insufficient audience
rooms; in Topeka there is always plenty
of ROOM
In this connection it is citing that
special mention be made of the great
exhibit of the State Poultry associa-
ton, which closes today. Kansas is en-
titled to the biggest poultry show in the
west, and this year it has had it. With
the sole exception of New York and
Philadelphia. the Topeka show sur
passes any show held in the United
States this season. Next year there is
reason to believe that the Topeka
show will be as large, if not larger,
than any poultry show in the whole

Geographically considered, there were
no striking gains in number of failures
last year except in the west, says R.
O. Dun & Co, where more than 100
per cent. increase occurred in some
cases, notably Michigan and South Da-
kota, while Ohio and Kansas also re-

1902 At the east the only important
numerical increase was in Pennsyl-

ever, there was more or less increase
in every section, except in the south,
and there the difference was only a
million dollars. The five central states
showed a total rise in defaulted indebt-
edness of about s15,O0O,0 900, most of
which was contributed by Illinois.
About $4,000, 600 increase was recorded
for the three middle states, New York

which amounted to about $1,000. 900.
Minnesota reported three times as
heavy liabilities as In 1902. but Ne

this by making most encouraging ex-
hibits. On the Pacific coast the prin-
cipaI increase was supplied by Wash

THEIR FIGHTING STRENGTH.

Probably the latest and most reliable
estimate of the relative fighting
strength of Japan and Russia is that
itary and naval correspondents. The
outlook, according to these experts. is
more than favorable to Japan at sea,
while there is at least an even chance
for her on land.
The naval expert admits, to start
with, that there are factors on both
sides which are hard to determine. but
he gives us the benefit of all the know
ledge available. He compares the Jap
anese fleet with the Russian ships
which are either in the far east or are
now on their way there. Japan has six
battle ships to Russia's eight, but not
even the best of the Russian ships
comes UP 10 the Japanese standard.
Moreover, the japanese ships are prac-
ttcaIly all Of one grade, and can be
handled therefore to great advantage,
while the Russian fleet must adapt it
self in action to the capacity of its
poorest vessel. In armored cruisers
Japan has six to Russia's five, and
Japan's are the better. In protected
cruisers Japan has IA to Russia's 8.

periority of fleet is the fact that Japan
has four fine doclzyards. quite capable
both of constructing and repairing YES
sells of any Glass; while Russia's dock
ing facilities are "entirely Inadequate
even for the ordinary repair and main
tenance of the feet So great is Jap
ans superiority at sea, everything con-
sidered, that the writer would not be
surprised if the Russians should with
draw their ships into the Gulf of Pc
Chilli rather than force a fleet ac-
tion.''
When the issue at sea has been set
tied, either by victory or blockade, then
will come the land campaign. Japan's
permanent army has $500 officers and
10000 men. Her reserve and territorial
armies bring her total land force to
100000 men. Russia, according to the
best estimate that can be made, has
about 100000 men in the far east, while
lit is probable that the Russian troops
which would be available for service
in Manchuria when either Russia or
Japan has proved its naval domination
in the China seas viii not much ex-
coed 100000 men,.
With Japan victor at sea, the militia
portation facilities would be far super
Tor to Russia's. He points out that the
Siberian railroad is exceedingly vul-
nerable, that it would be require an i'm
mense force to guard it, and that at
the best it's facilities cannot serve for
the maintenance of more than 100 900
men, On the other hand, Japan, with
her railroads and harbors and with her
short sea haul, Should be able to land
an expeditionary force superior to any
force that Russia by means of her land
communications can concentrate
against her in four months
The personal factors-bravery, brains,
enthusiasm, discipline-are less amen
able to calculation, but both the mill
tary and the naval experts believe in
their best judgment that the Japanese
are the superior.
