THE KANSAS. CENSUS.

Secretary COburn's report Of the de-
cennial census, tabulated and CLASH
fed makes the population 1,544,S6S,
the highest figure il has ever reach
ed The state is growing at better
rate than for fifteen years
There are some interesting figures
on the voting population The report
states it at 40, 2S9, which is about
100, 900 more voters than ever vote
at any one election. A good turnout
at an election IS 80 per cent Of the
total vote The males Of voting age
are % per cent OF the population
The voters Of special divisions Of
the population are always Oyeresti-
mated in number Taking % per
cent as the voting population, for ex-
ample. the German vote Of the state
is 1904 and If so per cent usually
vote the total vote cast by German
citizens Of Kansas is about 5000. This
is very much less than is generally
supposed The total Swedish vote is
not above 5000 and probably not as
great. There are 51,0T6 negroes in
the state and the negro vote cast at
any general election is not above H.
600.
The fact is that Kansas is nearly at
the front Of states Of pure American
blood and lineage The census shows
that the number Of persons engaged
in gainful occupations is 5OO,059 and
more than half Of all, or 251,956 are
engaged in agriculture According to
this report Kansas has gained just
100000 population in ten years

BETTER STAY On THE FARM.

ST always hate to see a farmer sell
his farm and come to town." remark
ed a philosopher to the Gazette He
nearly always buys a grocery store,
with the idea that all the money that
comes over the counter is net profit
He soon sees he is losing money and
sells out to some other farmer. Then
he starts a real estate Office, and sits
around waiting for men to come and
buy In a year or so he has his wife
start a boarding house, and when the
Zig Is uD with that he demands a
nomination for Office on the ground
that he has been putting in all his
time since he sold his farm working
for other fellows, and he thinks the
party owes it to him After he Is
beaten all over the county he gets
sore. and becomes a lOafer. There are
several such here in town I am al
ways mighty sorry to see man sell
his farm and move to town unless he
IS ready to retire, and has money en-
ough to educate his family and keep
him the rest Of his life-"-Lawrence

As CENTRAL KANSAS SEES Us


The SaIina Journal thinks the wes-
tern part of the state is destined to
come into great prominence as a
WesIth-producing section It believes
the truth Of the proposition put forth
BY the Hamilton County Republican,
that rains all follow the the pillow and
quotes from that paper in support OF
that doctrine
Concerning western Kansas as a
field for opportunity for hOme-mak-
ing and investment, the Journal says;
THE Journal has never ceased to
call attention to the conditions IN
western Kansas, believing as it does
that in the territory comprising the
western part Of the state there is
domain which presents opportunity
for growth, development and invest
ment presented in no other territory
in the world.
'As yet the possibilities Of western
Kansas have remained practically un-
exploited, and only within the past
three years has It attracted the atten-
ton OF hOmeseekers and investors.
The railroads, always alert for new
territory to develop, have advertised
almost every other spot in the United
States except western Kansas Now
attention is being called to this sec
ton The days Of the hot winds and
the drOuth have practically passed
away Western Kansas has been a
SYNONYMOUS term for these two OBJ
nOxfOus conditions for so long that il
will take time to associate them, but
nevertheless western Kansas has SUI
fered less the past five years with
either drOuth or hot winds than any
other portion Of the state. or less than
many western states"

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 6.-At the re-
quest Of the board Of education last
night the city council passed an anti
cigarette ordinance. A meeting Of the
board Of education was held before
the council meeting-at which the Ordi-
nance was drawn. When presented to
the council all other business was
dropped and the ordinance taken up
and passed. The ordinance makes it
unlawful for any person to sell Gig
arettes, cigars or tobacco in any form
to persons under Is years old, and If
the merchant is convicted Of the mis-
demeanor he is subject to fine OF
not less than IS or more than SIS
for each offense. In the resolution
which the school board adopted It
declared that it was fCb' the good Of
the children themselves that the bust
ness houses be prohibited from sell
ing or giving tobacco to boys. The
ordinance not only prohibits the sell
ing of tobacco, it makes it a misde-
meanor for any one to give or furnish
tobacco in any form to minors.

railroad. gives splendid testimony to
the prohfbitOry law Of Kansas, as
readers Of this paper had opportunity
to know last wee. Hear what CHIEF
stone says about temperance among
engineers:
Warren S. Stone is the grand chief
engineer Of the Brotherhood Of LOCO
motive Engineers. In an address re-
Gently before a local division Of en-
gineers. Chief Stone declared that So
briefly was now a necessity among the
engineers and he urged upon his hear
ers the truth that a man can't be
good engineer and a good citizen II
he INDUCES in drink He also declar-
ed that as their chief it would be the
crowning pleasure Of his life IL every
member OF the order we're to become
a member Of some Christian church
In the course Of his remarks he said:
The time has come when the employ
er and laborer must sit down and "a
tiOnaIIy talk it all over together The
future under those circumstances viii
be assured. I don't believe, as some
laborers do, that the country is going
to ruin. We are prosperous, and the
higher the standard OF the man who
the country becomes. There is a stand
ard that we may well follow which
was set BY our good old chief, Ar
thur, who never could find brother
hood men so good but that he wanted
them to be better. It was said OF
him that he was a temperance crank
and it is now said that Stone is a
fanatic. The engineer should live the
best life possible He can't be good
engineer and a good citizen If he IN
duIges in drink Some men have said
that il is nObody's business what they
do OF duty. 1 say it is Just as import
ant that q man leave drink alone
when he is away from his engine as
when he is at the throttle Were 1

could enter the employ who takes IL

What do you think Of the prohibit

to say anything about that because
am not a Kansan, and I have all
want to do to take care Of my own
state. 1 think Governor HOch can
handle the matter. will say this;
I think that if there is a law on the
statute books it should be either en-
forced or repealed. There is nothing
worse than having a law which is
laughed at. 1t not only hurts the law
which is being laughed at, but il in
jures all the laws Of the state, no
matter to what they refer. The worst
thing that can happen to a state is
to have laws which are disregarded-
/ When the people find that they can
violate one law without being prose
cuted and given a fine or a sentence
as the law provides, they at once think
they can violate any law There is a
| decided disrespect for law in this
country at the present time, just as
| there was in St Louis when the alder
| men were accepting brides The leg
fslature was no better when it accept
/ ed passes. It is one and the same
| thing. There should be a law in all
! states providing a penalty for crimes
| Of all kinds and the law should be en-
/ forced. Is is my opinion that there
/ are enough laws, but that there Is a
/ lack of the enforcement Of the laws.
| What we need is earnest and honest
| officials who will enforce the laws we
now have
In an interview with Assistant At
