PROSPEROUS KANSAS"

Under this heading the Chicago
Tribune discusses editorialIy present
conditions in Kansas, incidentally
drawing attention to the fact, which
many people seem to have lost sight
Of, that the fight which Kansas is
waging against Standard Oil and other
trusts is very minor matter when
considered by the side of the real
sources of the wealth of the Sunhower
state Here is what the Tribune
says:
What's the matter with Kansas?
Nothing this year. The main cause of
Kansan's troubles is the wheat crop.
They worry in the fall when it gets
dry for fear the seed will rot in the
ground. They worry in the winter If
it does not snow for fear a cold snap
will come and freeze the crop out OF
the ground They worry in the spring
for fear drought will lessen the yield.
The season of their worries is almost
past. It rained last fall and the seed
terminated. The ground was covered
with snow all winter and the crop did
not freeze. There has been plenty of
moisture this spring and the crop is
fairly shooting up. The whole Kan
sas wheat belt is a mass of waving
green, and Kansas is counting on a
great crop.
such a crop means something for
Kansas and the nation. If it meet ex-
pectations and command a fair price,
as it promises to do, it will put from
$50. 900 to $4,000, 900 in the kan
sas farmers pocket. A nice little sum
to have around the house or to loan

1.-The Kansas farmer used to put all
/ his eggs in one basket. If corn was a
failure he raised nothing next year
but wheat. If wheat failed he raised
nothing next year but corn. He has
quit that Improbable practice. He
now raises a diversity Of crops and
live stock. He is putting a big acre
age in corn, and, present favorable
conditions continuing. will harvest
around $50, 100000 from it.
1.-THE man who visited Kansas ten
years ago and revisits it this year is
amazed at the change-the veritable
revoIution-that has taken place
Kansas was then in debt and a Popu-
list. Now it is wealthy and politically
sane.
There is nothing the matter with
Kansas, although Kansans think there
is. They always do. They imagine
they are in a life and death struggl,
with the oil octopus. Their future
depends but slightly on this bout
: They will prosper more if they whfg
, the octopus, but they will prospei
greatly if it whips them. The octopus
hasn't got, and can't get, its tentacle
on the things that are of real i'm
portance to Kansas"

what the Cook Thought.

A monkey is not, fortunately, a COM
mon gift, but one was brought never
theless, to a young woman of this city
by friend returning from a voyage
in the tropics From the moment Of his
entrance into the house the monkey
showed that he would be a strenuous
pet to look after, and for the next hour
the family was kept busy trying to re-
pair the damage he did. The monkey
made his way to the kitchen, and in the
temporary absence of the cook snatched
part of a chicken which laid on the ia
BILE. Coming in presently, the cook
missed the chicken and looked about in
surprise to see what had become Of it.
Suddenly she gave a wild shrek of ter
ror and, rushing upstairs, she burst in
to the family sitting room, crying:
"Oh, ma'an, the divil hinNelf is down
stairs, sittin' on the washfubs, picAin
the chicken! New York Tribune.

F W. Bevington, who was in the
LEGISLATURE of 1903, has moved on to a
farm in Jewell county and is rapidly
becoming plutocrat. He has mar
keted $500 worth of hogs within the
last month.
It cost a Smith county man 500
and costs to allow some diseased hogs
to run at large. This is just what It
costs some two legged hogs to run at
large in some communities, but they
are penned up for thirty days in addf-
ton.

HOW Is 1T7lls for Theorv?

Grain growers of the coast will be in

wheat crop of Kansas. For some I'M
known reason this state continues to
roll UP immense crops of corn and
wheat annually without failure. where
a few years ago drought caused the
abandonment of farming activities
throughout dozens of Western Kansas
counties. A scientist of great renown is
trying TO prove that the sun IS losing
its heating powers, the last two or three
seasons showing several degrees less
heat than the average for years.

rHE PROFESSIONAL
BREAKER.
STRIKE

If the professional strike-breaker IS
as he is pictured in the Worlds Work
for May. he viii not provoke the ad-
nniration of the American people. On
the contrary he viii be looked upon
with scorn and contempt, even by the
people who have no use whatever for
labor unions.
The article in the Worlds Work is
a sketch Of James Farley. the king Of
the trike-breakers'' It is written by
Leroy Scott. an authority on the sub
ject of labor troubles. Mr.. Farley has
just been engaged to break the
Chicago strike. Mr.. Scott en-
tered the employ of Farley to find out
something of his methods. Farley be
gan life as an attendant in the billiard
room of New York hotel but he rose
by degrees to be bartender, clerk, and
finally manager of the hotel That
was too slow for him. however, and
he became a detective, and In this
work he first conceived the idea Of
professional strike breaking. He makes
a business watching for labor troubles,
especially on street car lines, and
when a strike comes he steps in with
a lot of his helpers and breaks 1t. He
has a big force under him all the
time, and during the recent strike on
the New York subway and elevated
lines he employed five thousand men.
He paid the men from $3.50 to $3.50
per day, and received $500 a day for
their labor from the transit company
in addition to large fees besides.
p fs
employ, as shown by Mr.. Scott, are
largely a lot of incompetent and ire
sponsible persons, at least one-third of
whom are professional toughs. Yet
they were entrusted with the lives of
thousands of people every day.
The honest man who is out of work
and who needs work has a right -
work wherever and whenever he can.
regardless of whether he is taking the
place of a striker or not, but the pro-
fessionaI strike breaker who exists only
to get big wages for a short time be-
cause the regular workmen are asking
for the correction of some real or
fancied grievance. cannot expect the
respect or sympathy of the American
people.
The business OF strike-breaking is
an outgrowth of strikes-probably
those strikes which are melted by un-
wise or dishonest labor leaders. It IS
a business which has never been ex-
plotted, for it is not a profession most
men would be proud of. and few men
who have any pride will engage in it
from choice, if it is as Mr.. Scott de-
seribes it. So far as is known this
kind of strike breaking was unknown
in the west. until Mr.. Farley came to
Chicago
These assertions are not intended to
reflect one way or the other on the
merits of the Chicago strike which
Farley is now attempting to break. The
public has little sympathy with some
strikes, but neither has it any with
some strike breakers.
