liant John Conway OF the Norton
Champion The former promoter has
confined his bOOstRgs mostly 10 such
things as soda water factories, ice
plants, and the like, which are neces-
sary but part OF the year but Mr..
Conway goes right at the heart Of a
perpetual necessity and breaks out
with railroads.
Here is the Champion editors first

Phillipsburg division to Norton, also

So, inaSmuch as travelling men are
good at knowing how to run a passen e

road construction They are boosters,
promoters, OptOmists, and have done
a great thing for Norton in providing
a branch road to Obyiate the difficulty

the fact that the fast main line Rock

however, that the Rock Island is

SIR. WHITES DIAGNOSIS.


The author Of What's the Natter
with Kansas" has now undertaken
TO tell what's the matter with HOch-
And in a way Mr. White has succeed
ed. The editor OF the EmpOrfa Ca
zette has always been a warm ad-
nirer OF Governor Hoch. so he can
not be accused OF censuring the gov
ernor unduly-
After calling attention to the new
law Just adopted in Ohio making two
cents a mile the legal passenger rate
IN that state. and after delivering
himself Of q few general observations
on the pernicious influence OF the rail-
road pass, Mr.. White says:
governor HOch IS a great man TO
talk. but II he actually wanted to do
something he could assemble the leg
isiature in special session before the
next republican convention, and get
a law making It a crime to offer a
delegate to a convention pass, and
reduce the railroad fare in Kansas to
two cents. But he won't HOch is
the bravest man in Kansas the
stump; but when you get him in a
room and talk to him man to man,
he can be handled The railroad at
torneys know this. and when HOch
gets a good impulse they send a smart
lawyer TO tell him that he cannot fol-
low II without getting the party or
the state or himself into trouble. And
when they have talked the edge OF
his impulse they leave him The PeO-
pie Of Kansas have no smart lawyer
10 appear before the governor for
them; so the political railroads go
right ahead sewing Kansas up in a
sack. while the governor is thinking
high and noble thoughts The terri
bic conviction is forced upon the peO-
pie that E ". Hoch is a great think
er-irrefutable in his logic; indOmita-
BILE in his conclusions; a Samson with
syIIogisms but-af1icted with paresis,
blind staggers, bots and IOcOmotor-
ataxia when he goes to put his con-
illusions into action"
BY the way. is Governor HOch still
carrying annual railroad passes on all
railroads in Ransas-thOse that do
not advertise in the Marion Record
as we'll as those that do? In several
other states the governors have not
only aBjured the railroad pass per
sOnaIly, but they are making a strong
fight against it Ought not the gov
ernor OF Kansas to do as well on this
subject as the governors Of Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin Min

The Reason OF the Great Demand Tor
Land IN Western IEansaS-
The Beatrice Daily Express. in a
recent issue. says that the demand
for land among the farmers Of Neb-
raska IS almost Universal. and as the
prices IN that section are prOhibitiTe,
they are cemi1s TO western Kansas,
where they can get better and
smoother land for One-tenth OF what
they would pay there While the east
ern business men may complain Of
these western investments, on the
ground that they result in dull times
at home. IL is the Land that IS being
bought row that viii double IN value

The article Ia question IS as fol-
cat Falls City. a Richardson coun-
ty town, IL is complained that the ten
dency to buy more land IS interfering
with the prosperity OF the merchants
said the Tribune One thing that is
injuFing Falls City and the neighbOr-
ing towns IS the fact that 50 many
OF our farmers are buying land ia

money is spent in making advance
payments, and Il is matter Of com
mon experience that man in debt

great movement towards the west

The UNIVERSAL demand for western
land IS sure to send the price TO a

er or later reaches the point where
land gets so high that investment IS
no longer attractive, then idle money
is sent elsewhere The sending OF
money out Of a community makes

Local observers say that it is un-
reasonable for the banks and business
men in eastern Nebraska and Kansas
to complain and find fault with the
farmers who have been successful en-
Ough TO build up good bank balances
and give liberal patronage 10 home
merchants. when they looked for in
vestment Of their surplus in cheaper
land
Many Of these farmers have sons
growing uD and it is but a natural
desire to provide a farm for each
one, starting them out in life on a
sound and independent basis For
Nebraska is almost prOhibitive- Very
few Of them could buy farm OF $50
acres in Richardson county costing
$4,000 to $4,000.
But when the opportunity is open
for buying $50 acres Of better and
smoother land for $1,000 10 $500
il looks like their opportunity. The
time may come when these lands
which can now be bought so cheap
Iy may advance and double in value
over and over again They say that
then it Will be time to sound the note
OF warning, but it looks selfish to do
it now.
some Of the older settlers in east
ern Nebraska say they recOIEeCt dis
tiRctly that in the early DAYS it was
doubtful if a Richardson county farm
was worth $500, but patience and
hard work have demonstrated that
the man who then had faith made
great success 1t may be only fair to
give the present generation a chance
