TRIP TO PIXIES PEAK is OFF
Trade Excursion Cancelled Because
Not Sufficient Number Want
to Make II.

The proposed northern Kansas and
Pixies Peak trade excursion of the Com
mercial club has been declared of, as the
100 men necessary to secure rates and char
ter a special car could not be secured for
the trip. Many OF those who sent in their
names were attracted by the prospects of a
days outing In Colorado, but many others
had made the trip and were not anxious
TO go. From the commercial standpoint a
number said II would be better to visit
the larger towns in the eastern part of
Kansas than those in the northern and
western part of the state. There are at
present no plans for another trade excur-
sion this summer.

WILSON AND THE SOUTH.

Recent developments in connection
with the leak in the statistics bureau
OF the agricultural department at
Washington, have brought to the
front the popularity of Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson in the south, and
the belief of the people Of that section
in his honesty and probity.
1t was the Southern Cotton aseo-
citation that brought out the crooked.
ness of some of the employees in the
bureau. After the guilt of the chief
culprit was proved, President Jordan,
of the association, announced that he
was going to petition President Roose-
welt to request the resignation of Sec.
rotary Wilson.
That is where Jordon showed he
did not know the sentiment of his own
people. Just As soon as the idea OF
President Jordan became known, the
vice.president of the association, E.
S. Peters, sem this message to Secre'
tary Wilson:
1.-The farmers and cotton growers Of
the south have implicit confidence IL
your honesty and ability to purge the
department of all grafters, and hope
the president will let nothing interfere
with the great work you are now do
ing for them."
The south has a full realization o
the fact that during the years Secre
tary Wilson has been at the head O
the agricultural department he ha.
been the steadfast and in:elligen,
friend of the southern farmer. In fact,
the secretary has expended more none.
in experiments in the southern state,
than he has spent in any other section
and has done more for the cause O
agriculture in that part of the countr,
in the past five years than any othel
individual, public official or privat,
citizen. has done in fifty years. Mr.
Jordan evidently forgets that fact, bu
Mr.. Peters does not.
