WORKING MIRACLES.
A Million Plants Used by Luther Bur-
bank in Single Test.

How does Mr.. Burbank work his
wonders? Here are two plants-oue
from Australia, perhaps, the other from
Siberia Each plant has its character
istics, its life habits, its structure. its
hereditary tendencies-a life distinct
from all others. Each has preserved
It's Identity 1000 years, perhaps 10 times
10000 years, not varying to any great
extent through the long centuries He
takes these two plants and gives them
the opportunity to unite. Struggle as
each may, with the fervor of 10000
years Of habit powerful upon it, it can
not overcome the change.
The pollen from one Of the flowers
has found its way to the stigma of the
other, borne by the sensitive finger tips
of the man accustomed to wait with
patience the outcome of his projects. A
year passes. The seed from the new
plant is planted. From it may come a
plant like both of its ancestors, or like
neither-like nothing yet born in the
vegetable life of the world.
And this is what is sought: to make It
different, to break up its life tendencies.
to recombine the hereditary influences
of its ancestry. In the breaking up II
may produce a whole series OF mon
strosities, the most strange and
groteSque plants that ever took root in
the soil of the earth. Some of the plants
are hideous and all such are put to
death. For the object is not to pro-
duce abnormality, but a splendid norm,
acteristics of both parents and become
a new and powerful factor in the beau
ty or the utility of the race. The next
year and the next there are more seeds
and more plants; and in few years.
so great is the progression, there may
be 500, 900. Bear in mind that some Of
the greatest botaniStS Of this and other
days have carried on their investiga-
lions into plant life and made their de-
auctions and formulated their laws up
on a working basis of perhaps a dozen
plants. Mr.. Burbank has used as many
as a million plants for a single test,
and he has more than once rejected ev-
cry one of the million. save. perhaps,
half a dozen. or even less.
When the great mass Of plants in a
given test is ready for the final scrutiny
to see what ones shall be allowed to
live, then comes the exercise of the
most wonderful faculty of the man. He
be it ten thousand or q million, and Sc
lect from them such as are fit for use
in a continuation of the test. This he
does with marvellous rapidity. With
aids to bring him the plants, he passes
upon them with such rapidity that 1O0,-
900 may be decided upon in a single day.
If all of these plants had to be tested
81, OO0, 900. Each would have to be set
out by itself, covering considerable
surface of valuable land; each would
have to be cultivated and cared for for
four or five years; each would need to
be grated. In a single day this one
man accomplishes what could be reach
ed otherwise only by years of waiting
and by an enormous attendant expense,
his mastery judgment, backed by
wonderful intuition, enabling him to ac-
complfsh that which indeed seems little
short of a miracle.-The Century.

Brandon Says He Has Backbone

for Use of HOch.
HITS COLEMAN HARD.

Ex-Governor Bailey has been formal
ly released from repaying the money he
used to maintain the executive resi-
dence.
In a reminiscent talk before the SEN
ators last night, during the closing
hours of the session of the senate when
senators were called upon to make
speeches, Senator Benedict, who has
had thirty odd years of experience in
the Kansas legislature, said: This
senate differs from all others have
known in the fact that it has passed
upon more questions and then reconsid-
cred them and changes its mind oftener
than any senate ever knew. We have
reversed ourselves more times than I
can remember
Two days ago the senate voted not
to allow n. H. LOOMS and Frank Dos
ter $500 attorney fees on motion of Sen
ator Waggener, for representing Cover
nor Bailey in the mandamus suit
against State Treasurer Kelly to settle
the question of paying vouchers for the
expense of the executive residence but
voted to allow kelly'S attorneys $500.
Tuesday the senate reconsidered the
action and voted Loomis and Doster
$500 even after they had sent word that
they did not make any claim for the
money and that Governor Bailey would
settle his own attorney fees.
Tuesday morning Senator Waggener
introduced a resolution to release Gov
ernor Bailey from any claim or demand
for the return of the funds in question
to the state treasury. The senate OBJ
jected to a suspension of the rules,
which forced the resolution to lay over
one day and meant its death as it could
not come up before the adjournment of
the senate.
Tuesday afternoon the senate recon
sidered the resolution and passed it by
a unanimous vote. The resolution is as
follows:
Whereas, The legislature of 1903
made an appropriation of 81, 900 for the
maintenance of the executive mansion
for the year 1908, and the same sum for
the year 1904, and
Whereas The then governor, w J.
Bailey, having first secured the opinion
of The attorney general that the use of
tho said fund by him, in maintaining
the executive mansion, was lawful and
Whereas, The supreme court there
after decided that the said appropria-
ton was unauthorized by the constitu-
ton, and as a result thereof a technical
liability is created against w. J.
Bailey, and
whereas, Having implicit faith in
the official integrity and honesty of
purpose of the Hon. W. J. Bailey, then
governor of the state of Kansas; there
fore, be it
Resolved, BY the senate. the house
concurring therein, that the state of
Kansas does hereby expressly release
and re1inquish any claim or demand
against the said w. J. Bailey for the
return of any of the said moneys, in
view of the fact that the same was ex-
pended in official functions, and in
maintaining the executive mansion in
accordance with the evident intent and
purpose of the legislature

SHARP PRACTICE.
How the Standard Put Up a Job on
South Dakota.

St Paul, Mimi, March S.-Having
made an honest effort and failed, at
the cost of $125,00O, to cope with the
Standard Oil company South Dakota
is prepared to send sympathy to Kan
sas. South Dakota knows what it is
to fight the Standard.
For years. prior to 1902, the oil
trust sent its poorest oil into South
Dakota and the legislature passed a
law that no oil of a poorer grade than
% Beaume test should be sold in the
cents a gallon. That meant an an
nual tax Of $4,000 on the state for
oil. Then the Standard went into
court to knock out the law. 1t failed,
and adopted a new plan
Agents of the Standard in the guise
of friends of the people appeared at
Pierre, when the legislature met this
winter, and proposed that something
be done to punish the Standard. 1t
was proposed to provide that Kansas
oil should be admitted on a consid-
erably lower test than oil of any other
state. Plenty of scientific backing was
secured for the statement that Kansas
oil though not testing so high, was
really the best. Anyhow, it was anti
It the benefit of a doubt, and adj
journed.
1t turns out that the Standard set
up the whole scheme. as the Standard
is the only concern that has any Kan
sas oil to sell, and it expects to stay in
the Kansas field. 1t is just the same
as if a law had been made to provide
South Dakota is again at the mercy
of the Standard, and the Standard is
still getting cents extra per gallon
as a reminder.

Kansas. Speaking to the majority,
want to Congratulate you that you
have held the party promises as sacred
as personal promises. Speaking to the
minority, I want to congratulate them
that they have united heartily and cor
daily in the enactment into law of
these splendid bills.
For after all. my fellow citizens,
we are all citizens of a common coun-
try. There isn't one of you that is
ashamed to go home, for your people
will greet you and say. Well done,
good and faithful servants
There has never been a time when
the people of Kansas stood higher in
the estimation of the people of the
country than they do now. Speaking
only OF one thing. the taking Of the
Standard Oil trust by the throat TO
compel it to be decent, is something
which will furnish a substantial con-
tribution to the solution of the trust
problem"
