LAW ENFORCEMENT IN KANSAS,

The best thing that ever happened
to Missouri was the election of Cover
nor Folk on the law enforcement issue
he made by his record and declara-
tons. It rid the state Of a grating
political machine; it made the laws
Of the state mean what they say; 1t
gave Missouri the best advertisement
It. ever had. But what is more i'm
portant than these things, 1t marked
the assertion OF the people of Missouri
In favor of public morals, civic de-
oency and official honesty, and it has
left them with the pride and the In
spiration of good work well done.
The lesson of Missouri has not been
lost on the people Of Kansas. In the
latter state conditions are much the
same as they were in Missouri when
Folk was making his race for gover-
nor. There is state machine with
complete control Of the administra-
live organs. In this instance the
Opposition leader has not arisen from
the ranks OF the incumbent and dis
credited party. but has been chosen

Why Is Machinery
Cheaper Abroad?

'Tom watson's Magazine" claims
to have some interesting figures from
Buenos Ayres, as follows:
The Advance pillow, which sells in
this country for SIS, is sold in Buenos
Ayres for 50.
The hay tedder which costs you $45
is sold in Buenos Ayres at $50.
The mower costs you s65, it costs
the South American farmer $40.
You pay se5 for horse rake, down.
trodden Eouth Americans pay ST..
The feed cutter No. 3. for which We
pay 500, goes to the poor foreigner
at $50.
The Ann Arbor cutter demands $40
of us; it is satisfied with s2S in Bue-
nos Ayres.
The cultivator which is priced to
you at $50, is sold to the South Amer
lean for s22.
These are not the products of the
"pauper labor of Europe but of the
factories of America, which are glad
to get the prices that they have to
take when they get out from under
the protection of too high tariff.
Commenting on this, the American
Economist, organ of the Protective
Tariff league, says:
Practically all the machines named
in this list are controlled by trusts
which, like the Standard Oil trust, the
ice trust, the anthracite trust and
many others, are in no way assisted
by the tariff. The various farm i'm
plements get all their protection from
patents and patented processes Of
manufacture. They hate the tariff
and would like to see it cut down BY
revision or by reciprocity agreements
which would give them a still better
chance to sell to foreigners at cut
prices.

by the opposition party. Colonel
Harris is trying to do for Kansas
and IL the people elect him will do for
Kansas-what Folk has done for Mis-
souri,. He is we'll equipped for his
law enforcement policy. He is man
of fine executive capacity and sound
official courage. He is not under
obligations to any special interest or
class He is free handed, and he will
administer his office without preju-
dice or favoritlsm.
1t is a mere matter of detail that in
Missouri Folk was opposed to a gen.
eral violation of the law, and to a
grating machine of his own party,
while in Kansas Harris is opposed TO
the same general violation of the law,
but to a machine of the opposition
party. Nowadays the people do not
care much to which party machine
belongs. They are against 1t, and
when they are determined to put an
end to machine manipulation and
corporation rule and to insist on the
enforcement of the laws, they do not
care much to which party the right
man for leader belongs. What they
want is the man. And Coionel Har-
ris is the man for Kansas.

PLOTTED INTO UNKNOWN SEAS.

Tom Watson, in his Life of JEFF
ferson," says that the convention
which drew up the constitution of the
United States was ostenslbly called
not to make a constitution but to reg
ulate commerce.
The colonies were too jealous of
their individuality then for the closer
union into a Nation with a big N,
which Hamilton and others wished.
1t would not be surprising IL, for a
second time in this nations history,
a national convention be called to re-
wise transportation rates that will go
far beyond the original intent and
usher in a general revolution in the
laws regarding property rights.
Some of the greatest movements in
history have always been started by
conservatives who unintentionally ini-
tiated a revolution when they intend
ed but small reform. At the begin
ming George Washington did not look
for separation of the American colo
nies from England, nor did Lincoln

Across that strange country-the

And yet not strange, for it has grown

When from this dear world 1 shall

To that dear country Of the dead,
And join the lost ones so long

When l shall cross the intervening

And so for me there nothing is in

And so the grave has lost its VIC

And white-set face, little strip of

To find the loved ones waiting on the

More beautiful, more precious than

TRANSPORTATION IN KLAMATH

A trip into klamath county, Ore,
a. this time affords an interesting IL
lustration of the development going
on in an agricultural way through
out the Pacific northwest. 1t is a
change from the wasteful methods Of
new country without transportation
facilities, where land is unlimited and
competition almost unknown, to a
status OF higher land values and
keener competition.
The happy-go-lucky and slipshod
methods of the early pioneer are fast
passing away, and the new and i'm
proved way of doing things is gradu-
ally gaining ground. The large
bands of cattle and horses that were
at one time the main source of rev.
enue of this vast domain, are fast di-
minishing in size but increasing in
quality. The large land owners are
dividing up their tracts into small
farms, and eventually this section,
unlike many range sections, will be
dotted with fine homes.
One of the distinctive features of
the klamath region is its wonderful
opportunity for agricultural develop
ment through irrigation. The govern
ment has undertaken the construction
of a most feasible and extensive re-
clamation project here that will cost
about s4,OOO,OOO and reclaim about
100000 acres of land well adapted to
agricultural pursuits. Under the
terms of which these lands are being
reclaimed a government water right
will not be sold to a nonresident or
for a tract exceeding 100 acres. This
insures a large settlement of actual
farmers and stockmen, which will
take the place of the rangemen in
breeding and feeding.
The ranges adjoining the irrigated
the coast, which will add much to the
breeding industry. Cattle and horse
breeding will continue to be the lead
ing industry, but upon a different
basis. We may expect in the future
to see improved methods in breeding
and feeding in this section; better
horses, mules and beef will be sent to
market, that will bring better prices.
The successful growing of alfalfa,
grain and roots under the irrigation
system and wit hthe transportation
facilities that are fast forging ahead,
this will be one of the greatest feed
ing grounds on the coast for the pro-
duction of choice beef, pork and
mutton.-Rural Spirit.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The appalling carnage resulting
from railroad accidents, as shown by
the quarterly accident bulletin COM
piled by the interstate commerce
commission, is not presented in all its
distressing details-it merely reveals
the facts. If the story of the deaths
and injuries, merely enumerated by
the commission, were made public it
would fill book.
The report shows that for the first
three months of 1906 there were 1926
deaths and 1910 injuries resulting
from railroad accidents of all kinds.
The deplorable fact about these fig
ures is that the most of the accidents
resulted from collisions, many of
which could have been avoided by
proper regulative and preventive
measures. There were many casual
ties of common occurrence and incl
dent to the danger that is necessarily
Involved in general travel and traffic
and which are beyond the control Of
the railroads. But that the ineffi-
cheney and carelessness are RESPONSE
BILE for the large death rate is unques-
tionable. There will always be an
element of danger in travel, but it
should be reduced to a minimum.
Every precaution should be taken 20
safeguard the lives of the travelling
public intrusted to the care of public
service corporations.
The block system of signals is pri-
marily based on the interval" be-
tween trains, and where it has been
Installed the number of casualties
have been greatly reduced. If all
the railroads in the United statisti-
clan would have another set of figures
tc present.
There are provisions in the new
rate law having for their object the
protecting Of the lives cf railroad en-
ployes and the travelling public, and
President Roosevelt has been a per-
sistent advocate of strong legislation
on the subject.
