KANSAS AND THE TWlNE TRUST.

In his article in the May Worlds
Work on the Kansas oil fight Isaac F.
Marcosson tells the significant story of
how the state bucked the Irvine trust.
Kansas raises more wheat than any
other state in the union and the farmers
have to buy millions of pounds Of Irvine
to bind the sheaves every year. In
1899 these farmers were paying the
Irvine trust an average of IS cents a
pound for Irvine. The price of wheat
was low, they were not making money.
The farmers petitioned the legislature
for relief, and the sum of S150,000 was
for state Irvine factory.
The constitution of Kansas forbids the
state to enter any private business; so
the Irvine factory, to evade the law,
was established to give employment to
convicts. The superintendent of the
factory was left to the warden and the
board of directors of the penitentiary.
The convicts were taught to make
Irvine. The next year the Kansas farm
ers We're buying Irvine for 81 cents a
pound. Every implement store or cross
roads general store in the state was
made an agency. The dealer bought
the, Irvine for cents and made a half
cent IOr SelllnS IL. Inc Kansas farmer
bought Irvine for three and four cents a
pound less than his neighbor just across
the line in Nebraska. Now it has sur
plus of $4,000, it has paid back the
original appropriation of S150,0OO to the
state; and it owns a well equipped
plant. The factory does not make
enough to supply all the farmers in the
state, but it has succeeded in bringing
down the price of Irvine everywhere in
Kansas to reasonable figure.

From Ben Franklln's Start.

1t has been nearly 1870 years since
Benjamin Franklin landed the postinas-
tership Of Philadelphia as the reward
for political service. Ben was an editor
and had trouble circulating his news
paper but with the aid of the govern
ment he was able to hire post boys and
Immediately thereupon the circulation
of the Pennsylvania Gazette grew apace
and the precedent established has to
this day been considered sufficient
authority for editors to insist that their
claims upon the postmaster appoint
ment are eX-officio, paramount to all
others.
But little did Ben think, when he
used his political pull to land post
Office for himself, of what tremendous
enterprise he had launched. 1t is true
that his success with the Philadelphia
postoftice secured for hima few years
later commission from the crown to
organize postal system for the colo
MES, and he later became the first post
master general appointed by the conti-
mental congress, but fifty years after
he had added the Philadelphia postoffice
to his newspaper enterprise there were
only seventy-fve postoffices in the
United States. Today, however, there
are H. 31 postoffices in this country,
handling annually $500 million pieces
of mail, or 115 pieces for-every man,
woman and child in the land. No
greater revelation of the growth Of
intelligence as the result of Franklin's
introduction of the use of the printing
press and his recognition Of the indie
pendence of postot1ice and printing
plant, could be made.
The cost of handling this amount of
mail in America was $152,000,000 while
the revenues were S143,00O,OO0, leaving
nearly $9,000,000 deficit. In comparison
the postoffice of Great Britain handled
an average of 101 pieces of mail to each
person at a cost of 500 100000, receiving
therefor $77,000,000, or profit of
$22 100000, and the German government
made profit of $15,000,000 handling an
average of 107 pieces to the person.
1t is Postmaster General Cortelyou's
task to reorganize our postal system
and make it a modern business institu-
tion. AS an example Of the. magnitude
of his undertaking it is mentioned that
the rate paid the railroads for carrying
mail has not been changed since 1878.
When Cortelyou gets through and a few
more rural routes are established,
Franklin's ghost should return to view
the developments of two generations
of men. If editors were a praying set
they should hold meetings for this ex-
press purpose, for editors owe much to
Franklin arshalltown Times-Repub-
lican.

OUR GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

Isaac N. Perry having been acquitted
of the charge of arson both by Justice
Foster and by a jury in the criminal
court, his experience teaches us several
sad lessons.
1t teaches us that human nature has
an ungovernable proclivity to SANDER.
1t teaches us that human nature is al
ways ready to believe SANDER, without
sufficient evidence or any evidence at
all. 1t teaches us that if any one will
throw mud enough some of it will stick.
1t teaches us that SANDER, like death,
loves shining mark, and that previous
good reputation and high standing, in
stead of disarming SANDER, give it addi-
tional vitality and make it only the
more enjoyable to human nature.
These lessons are sad because there
is no prospect whatever that human
nature will ever change or SANDER ever
become less popular, but there is an
other lesson which may be of some prac-
tical use. We are taught the ease with
which insignificant and unprincipled
persons can use the machinery of the
law for the perpetuation of SANDER. To
particularize, we are taught how easy it
is to use grand jury as persecution
ton.
The grand jury system has been for
ages outgrown. 1t is no better adapted
to the present administration of Grimm
al law than bows and arrows would be
to an army or a pony express to the
postoffice. 1t grew up in a remote age
and was adapted to conditions that
have long since ceased to exist, so that
although it has been greatly altered in
order to keep it going at all it has be-
come just as much an instrument of
persecution as scientific means of
prosecution.
To mention only one change, the
grand jury originally set in perfect
secrecy, had no attorney to advise it,
and heard no witness. The grand
jurors were appointed to tell each
other what they personally knew of the
violation of law in their county. In, our
day the grand jury depends entirely on
witnesses and without any warrant of
law on the steering of a states attor-
ney. This change alone is sufficient to
show how it might have been guar
anty of liberty 500 years ago and only a
school of scandal in our day.
The grand jury system should be
abolished and prosecutions should be
on the information of the states attor
ney. This would not only prevent ar
immense amount of labor, expense and
delay, but would fix the responsibility
for prosecutions ON one man. More
over, it would not be dangerous ex
pertinent, nor any experiment at all, as
prosecution by information is already {
part of every judicial system and ha:
shown itself TO be safe and economical
and far better adapted to the wants o
4 our time than the numbering grand jur,
system of the middle ages.
If it had been left to States Attorne,
Healy whether Isaac N. Perry should b.
subjected to the hazard, shame and ex
pense of trial for arson that Outrage
on an innocent man would never hav
been perpetrated. Chicago Chronicle

CONNECTICUT AGAIN LEADS.
Race in Construction Between Two
Shipyards

The battleship Connecticut is again In the
lead in the construction race between the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Company, building the Louisiana, and the
government force at the New York navy
yard, building the Connecticut. These two
first-class battleships were authorized by
Congress to be built in competition between
one of the government navy yards and a
private shipbuilding firm as a test to de-
termine the relative merits in shipbuilding
between the two. The vessels are Identical
in every detail SO that the test will be com
plete. The principal points to be determin-
ed by the test are workmanship and ra pid-
ity and cost of construction. This accounts
for the race, which is exceedingly close and
exciting.
The Louisiana, building at Newport News,
beat the barrier by slight margin and
held her lead up to within few months
ago, at times increasing 1t and sometimes
falling back bit. But during the summer
the Connecticut made sudden squirt and
took the lead at a time when for some UNI
known reason her rival was almost at a
standstill. That evidently stirred the New
port News builders 10 greater activity for
at the close of the month of August the
Louisiana again showed in the lead by a
fraction of one per cent. The percentage
of completion on September l was: Lou
isiana. &c. 40; Connecticut, sc Is.
Another surprise is now occasioned by the
construction statement for the month of
september Just made public by the bureau
of construction and repair, Navy Depart
ment. 1t shows an increase of 3.14 per
cent for the Connecticut. and but LIB per
cent for the Louisiana, giving them a total
of $3.50 and STD, respectively. That gives
the Connecticut substantial lead of near
ly per cent and confidence is expressed
by naval officers here that the vessel being
built by the navy will ultimately win out.
They advance the opinion that the Con
necticut's lead. small as 1t is, will prove too
big to overcome this late in the race as
both boats are nearly nine-tenths complet-
ed. Some of the more positive ones declare
that there never was any doubt about the
outcome. for although the Louisiana start
ed off ahead she never materially Increased
her lead. while her rival has slowly but
persistently worn her down. Although the
| Connecticut is the only large vessel under
| construction at the navy yard, New York,
| the Newport News Company has five other
| large vessels under construction at its yard,
upon each of which 1t has kept up the
| normal amount of work The construction

| shows that there has been more work done
