Another Railroad Plot.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Another base and insidious conspiracy
againstthe liberty, peace of mind and gem
eral welfare of the people OF Kansas has
been formed by the reptile railroad corpor-
ations. The railroads are sending out soil
and culture trains over the state. These
trains are carrying farming experts and
lecturers from the State Agricultural Col
lege who are to make short talks to farm
ers on wheat-growing and the Importance
of using only the best wheat for seed The
railroads sent lecturers, expert corn grow
ers, over Iowa showing the value of seed
selection in planting the crop. with the re-
suit that the corn crop Of Iowa was in
creased In value $30.OO0.000 in two years.
Any one can see with half an eye into this
base design of the railroads to corrupt the
free and independent yeomanry of Kansas.
Their sinister purpose is cloaked under this
statesmanlike plan to develop the farming
Industries OF the state, but the vigilant eye
of almost any Office seeker can detect the
fraud at glance. The real object of these
soulless corporations Is to teach the farm
ers how to become rich and thus to corrupt
their integrity and destroy their virtue
for, of course. as is well known, only the
poor can be honest and virtuous.

1t is not so noteworthy, after all,
that Texas is great big" state, says
M. G. Cunniff in the March Worlds
Work, that could legally have ten SEN
ators If 1t wished amicably to break
like glass snake, into five parts, as
provided by the contract made when it
consented to become one of the United
States. Don't you go whirling us
around" said Texas editor, "on Tex
line or Brownsville, or Ell Paso, or
orange. Everybody knows that if you
tipped the state up and tapped it
north, like a tossed pancake, it would
knock down the skyscrapers of St
Paul; and east, that Ell Paso would
drop into the Atlantic; and south, that
the state would blot out most of Mex
leo. OF course, Texas, is big; children
learn in school that it is big"
THE real shining glory of Texas
hes In the way commonwealth of
265,OOO square miles, and few more,
with a population OF more than 3,O0O,-
OOO, drawn from everywhere, including
more than 100000 negroes, that is
SetSNSih II, "SoIciH, oOulltIH anu north
ern, with ports and ocean front, rich
and populous farms, wideawake and
growing cities, incredible areas of cat
tie range, rainy climate, rainless eli
mate, and tropics and snow, pulling
people in so fast that it is drawing the
Nations center of population south
ward-how this lavish yariegated en-
pire is handling its task of living by
high ideals"
The people of Texas wonder why the
Nation is so perturbed about regulat-
ing railroad rates. 1t is one of their
many distinctions that they regulate
not only the rates, but the railroads
themselves. Nor do they fear the
growth OF an American plutocracy. TT
Is just as easy to manage the corpora
tions as to have the corporations man
age you," say the legislators from the
rice fields and the cotton fields, the
''piney woods" and the llano estacaeo,
the bustling cities and the mosquito
| grown ranges, and even from the
forks of the creeks and the heads of
the canons." Indeed, after taxing ev-
cry visible bit of corporation property
in TeXas-and some additional miles
of railroad that projected over the bor-
der-the last Legislature, after deep
and subtle thought, somewhat hard to
explain, but really very enlightened,
passed an intangible tax law" This
taxes all corporation values that one
cannot see or put ones hand on.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-03-17
Phonetic Spelling.

"Yung men, let us offer you some
good advice. Always be attentive to
bizness. 1t is enuf for you to know
that you can't accumulate a fortune
while constantly seeking plesure.
Don't be in the featherweight class.
Mesure up to a mans standard. If you
strike ruff place in the road push
right thru. 1t may be tuf; your tung
may bang out from the heat and bur-
den of the day. But remember that
there's a water trauf at the end of the
road"
Now, gentle reader, don't get mad at
the proof reader, because you find
some words apparently misspelled in
the above selection. That's where you
would be wrong. 1t is just a sample of
the way the National Educational AS.
sociation has decided to spell these
particular words. AS a matter of fact
there are several publications, such as
the Literary Digest, which use some
of these phonetics now. The word
thru" in particular, is getting to be
quite a favorite. Newspapers, how
ever, are proverbially conservative.
they are under the iron rule of the
proofreader and the compositor, and
changes of the sort that are given
above would be many years in finding
favor. 1t took ten years in this office
alone to accomplish the change from
programme" to program. ."-Lead-
vile Herald Democrat.

HAN D. MADE HOUSES
WHAT THEY WOULD NOW COST
Amazing Changes Made by Modern
Machinery-contrast With
Colonial Days.

Suppose, now, every house must be
built, as in colonial days, by hand,
says Charles Barnard in the The
Reader for March. What would be the
effect on marriage, the home, the
state? Simply disastrous, more dis
astTous than could be expressed in
terms of money. There would be
houses, of course, some of them beau
tiful. There would be homes. some of
them admirable, considering the roof
trees over them-but the people-ah!
The People. What of them? Not one
pair of lovers in one hundred could
ever expect to have the home they de-
sire and deserve. The cost of proper.
