EFFLORESCENCE OF THE DE-
SET{T.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star
Kansas has just raised a crop Of IS
million bushels Of wheat on territory
that was once known as the Great
American Desert To the early ex-
plOrers it seemed incredible that the
vast, treeless plains, stretching away
to the mountains, could ever sustain
a settled population This notion long
survived and the descriptive title,
desert appeared in biographies
printed as late as the '4Os-
The currency given to the idea was
largely due to the work OF Pike and
Long, both careful and conscientious
army officers. whose observations
were regarded as judiciOus and &C
curate- After his explorations in 1906
and 1907, in the course Of which ne
discovered the lofty peak that bears
his name. Lieutenant Pike wrote of
the vast tract Of untimbered cOun-
try that lies between the waters Of
the Missouri, Mississippi and the west
ern ocean, from the mouth Of the
Mississippi to the 4Sth degree north
latitude" that the soil was generally
dry and sandy. In time he expected
these plains to become equally cele-
brated with the sandy deserts Of At
RIGA"
One great advantage, indeed, he
saw in the restriction Of our pOpula-
ton to some certain limits, and there
by a continuation Of the union" For
as ne went on to point out, "Our cftii-
zens being 50 prone to rambling and
extending themselves on the frontiers,

HEAT AND TANNED SKINS.
The Miracle That Nature Performs
When SunbuFn Occurs

The Miracle That Nature Performs
When SunbuFn Occurs
There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated in the short summer, that
in winter turn pure white, thus
matching the snow covered landscape
and escaping notice and harm
This change Of color, this prOtec
tor, effected no one knows how, is
wonderful, as wonderful as a mira
Gle, and yet a kindred change Of color,
4 kindred protection. happens among
mankind every summer, end nobody
ever notices it.
When the pale city people get out
in the summer sun at the seashOre or
the mountains the light attacks them
herCely, first reddening their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorch-
ing it If they kept in the sun en-
Ough, and il no miracle occurred, the
light would kill them finally. burn
ing OF the skin first and afterward
attacking the raw flesh
But a miracle does occur. The skin
changes from a pale color to a tan
and on this tan the sun has no effect.
The sun may beat on tan cOIOred skin
for days and weeks, but such skin
remains always sound, upholstered,
whole
Thus nature works a miracle. The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that a tan skin is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do this? No
one knows. Only the fact of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-tO prove
that it is not the hardening Of the
skin, but the change in its color which
protects it from sUnburn-is an easy
matter.
Let a pale person, unused to the
sun, stain one side of his face yellow,
and, leaving the other side untouched,
go out in the bright summer sun for
a couple Of hours. The one side of
his face is no tougher, no more hard
ened than the other, yet the unstain-
ed side will be infiamed, blistered.
while the tan color one will be quite
cool and unhurt-
Sunburn is a miracle, a protection
to mankind as ineXplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle Of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats to snow white ones.-New

A Perfectlr Hannr Man.

The late John Hay was fond OF tell

nothing for him and were in despair,
when a certain very wise man be-
thought himself OF the well known

courUers were dispatched everywhere
in search Of the shirt of a perfectly

turned from their fruitless search
throughout the vast kingdom At last
only one cOurtier remained out and
he. too, began to despair OF finding
the shirt OF a perfectly happy man.
1t was just about twilight. and he was
riding over a village green, when he
was attracted by the careless Taught

THE HOMES OF KANSAS.
rel WTFTT1-


The cabin homes Of Kansas
How modestly they stood,
Along the sunny hiilsides,
Or nestled in the wood
They sheltered men and women,
Brave-hearted pioneers;
Each one became a landmark
OF Freedoms trial years
The sod houses Of Kansas!
Though built OF Mother Earth,
Within their walls so humble,
Are souls OF sterling worth
Though poverty and struggle
Nay be the builders lot,
The sod house is a castle
Where failure enters not
The dug-out homes Of Kansas!
The IOwlfest Of all,
They hold the hOmesteads title
As firm as marble hall
These jewellers in the caves
Beneath the storms and SHOWS,
Shall make the desert places
To blossom as the rose.
The splendid homes Of Kansas!
How proudly now they stand
Amid the fields and orchards
All Ger the smiling land
They rose up where the cabins
Once marked the virgin soil,
And are the fitting emblems
OF patient years OF toll
God bless the homes Of Kansas
From the poorest to the best;
The cabin Of the border,
The sod house Of the west;
The dug-out low and lonely.
The mansion grand and great
The hands that laid their heart
stones
Have built a mighty state

a GOOD EXAMPLE OF A BAD
ALIGNMENT.

Very frequently men are called
upon TO defend their positions and
opinions by argument, and when they
feel themselves to be on impregnable
ground, they are sometimes hustrat-
ed and muddled by the mere sOphis-
tries OF thier antagonists.
A good example OF such speCiOus
reasoning which, to the uninitiated
would appear perfectly sound, but
which was absolutely false, happened
in a temperance argument in Good
land quite recently.
One person, in arguing the abolition
of the liquor traffic, contended that II
could be accomplished only through
the prohibition OF its manufacture; that
the prosecution OF jOintists was an
Intellectual local treatment for a con-
stitutiOnai disease Stop the manu-
facture, he said, and then We viii be
safe from the saloon
But look here, exclaimed the
other, "eXpediency demands that the
Joint itself be Killed forthwith. For
example, suppose that right now, as
we are sitting here in this room, a
man should enter that door with a
loaded revolver. and was determined

The speaker thought presumably
that ne was reasoning by analogy and
considered that he had dissipated ev-
efgthing that was said on the other
side As matter Of fact, it was no
argument at all II was false as any
thing could be. and had no fOunda-
ton in example or analogy
To make such an argument analO-

LAWSON SAYS FFs will O. TIE
WISP-1


WISP-"
From Bryan's Commoner-
Mr.. Lawson has made his trip west
the occasion for hurting a few thun-
derbolts at municipal ownership. In
Kansas he congratulated the people on
the decision Of the supreme court null
lifying the state refinery law. and at
Chicago he called municipal owner
shipa will O. the wfsp'' and declared
that If tried the public ownership Of
public utilities sis bound to prove a
disappointment and a failure
The reason given both in Kansas
and in Chicago was that the system"
could corrupt the lawmakers and
public service employees. Mr.. Lawson
has shown himself familiar with the
methods employed by the system in
dealing with the public through prf-
vate corporations, but he betrays both
lack OF knowledge and lack Of faith
in the people when he argues that
the people cannot administer a pub
lie monopoly in their own interest
He betrays lack Of knowledge because
the thing which he says cannot be
sures here and elsewhere. Nearly all
the cities own their own water works
and many Of them own their lighting
plants Philadelphia is the only city
OF any size that has gone back to
private ownership and the attempt to
extend the lease there woke the
sleepy old city up as nothing else had
done 1t is a great deal easier for a
city government to avoid corruption
when il owns and operates its public
utilities than when il turns these
utilities over to private corporations.
Mr.. Lawson lacks faith in the people.
There is a growing conviction that "a
private monopoly is indefensfble and
intOlerable," and Mr. LawsOn's dis
closures have contributed to that con-
viction- The remedy is not to turn
over public utilities to the ROckefel-
Iers and ROgerses, but to restore com
petition where competition is posi-
bic and to. give the public the fruits
Of the monopoly where a monopoly
is unavoidable.
The people will ind ways Of doing
whatever it is necessary for them to
do. The pOstOffice department is bet
ter run than the express companies,
and at less expense to the public. The
public utilities are conducted better
and at less cost to the people where
the public controls them than where
they are controlled by private cOmpa-
MES and the service will be still fur
Their improved as the cities enlarge
the scope Of their work
Mr.. Lawson is doing good when he
attacks the Wall street spectators,
but he does himself injustice when he
attacks municipal ownership.

Jones From Arkansas Connected

Senator Jones has been in close touch
