IA TOILETTE AND THE KANSAS
ISSUES.

There can be no doubt where Sen
atOr La Toilette stands with reference
to the Kansas contest. His visit to
the state has enectuaIIy settled that
mater. His declaration, made at re-
cent chautauqua assembly, that it is
time to do independent thinking and
voting can be construed in no other
way than as an appeal to the in
dependent voters Of Kansas to support
Colonel William A Harris for COVER
nor.
The democrats Of the state have
been quick at perceiving the peril
nence Of the senator's suggestion and
In their conventions are indOrsing him
along with Bryan, Folk and Harris.
Senator La Toilette is not a demo-
crat. He was elected to the United
States senate by the republican party
His advice may have wounded party
pride and may rankle in the breasts
Of extreme partisans, but It will be
generally Endorsed by the independ-
ent republican voter.
Senator La Toilette has an intuition
for ferreting out railroad bosses, and
IS an expert in discriminating between
a real friend Of the people and tool
OF the politicians. He is one OF the
peoples chief detectives in congress.
He has had years Of experience at the
business and has become a specialist
The senator has rightly judged cOndi-
lions in Kansas.-Kansas City Star.

BUYING SILVER.

In another place in the columns Of
this paper is an ar tcieerlagrindg the
this paper is an article regarding the
purchase OF silver by the government
for coinage purposes The ratio Of
course is still. 16 to 1. The pOpulists
and the Bryan democrats cOntended
that all the silver produced in the
United States not used in the arts was
necessary for coinage purposes. They
were just right and the gold stand
ard men were wrong, on every point
OF their contention, as subsequent ev-
ents have abundantly demonstrated.
The people never demanded the
gold standard, but it was forced up
on this country at the demand Of Wall
street. The purpose was to limit
coinage and all money issues by the
government to make money dear, and
to continue the control Of the circu-
lating medium by the money mag
mates Of New York and other great
money centers- They have, fOrtu-
nateIy for the people, lost out, and
the people Of the west now have their
inning.

Coleman and his law partner at
Clay Center are the attorneys for the
electric light company. The franchise
expired some time ago and when the
company refused to grant several con-
cessiOns the city decided to build g
plant Of its own The electric Light
company. has been fighting every move
the city made and after the bonds
were finally voted the attorney gen

The attorney general late yesterday
afternoon fled suit in the district
court at Clay Center. The suit was
entitled The State Of Kansas, eL rel,

When the Clay Center people heard
that Coleman had brought the name

ARTEsIAN WE'LL DEVELOPED.
Fine Flow Of Artesian Water in Ham,
iltOn County. South of Sherman

The problem Of irrigating in the
Arkansas valley has been most sat
isfactOrily solved by the DEVELOPMENT
OF arteSian water in Hamilton cOun-
~, one mile south Of Coolidge. So far,
DuL one well has been put down, but
as this was done by way Of experiment
and was only recently completed. it is
expected that a great number Of wells
Will be put down for irrigating pur-
poses, making a vast and almost in
calculabIe difference in the farming
history OF that fertile region. The
well, which was drilled on the Nolan
ranch, south Of Coolidge, was COM
menced in the nature Of a test, and is
only about a three-inch hole A flow
OF arteSian water was found at a
depth Of 80 feet, the water rising in
the pipes four inches above the
ground A stronger flow was encoun-
tered at $50 feet, and at the present
depth-25O feet-the water CUISINES out
over the top Of a sixteen foot pipe in
a strong flow.
It is estimated that land irrigated
by means OF artesian wells will be
worth in that locality, at least $500
per acre, while at present the market
value OF land is not more than $50
per acre The value placed upon the
irrigated land is a low estimation
when the value OF other irrigated
lands is taken into consideration. The
cost Of irrigation will be slight, as it
IS claimed that one well will furnish
sufficient water for a section Of land
And even If this proved to be a larger
area than could be successfully wa
tered with one Of these gushers q
smaller tract OF this rich land would
be big proposition and could be pro-
fitably handled.
The fact that there is artesian wa
ter in Hamilton county is of great i'm
pOrtance, not only to that county, but
to the entire Arkansas valley. for il
IS probable that there is artesian wa
ter under a large portion Of the val
ley It viii mean an early and swift
development Of that part Of the state
for an immense population can be
supported on the prairies. And not
only does the bringing Of the arte-
sian water to the surface benefit those
in its immediate locality, but muchOf
It soaking away, would increase the
undertook for the use Of those further
down the valley.
Hamilton county is the third coun-
ty south Of Sherman on the Colorado
line This discovery fathers this sug-
gestfOn: Maybe there is artesian for
nation in Sherman county.

Now, If you are a reasOner, below
we give you something spoken over
forty years ago by a seer and a think
er:
Monarchy is sometimes limited at
as a refuge from the power Of the
people. In my present position, I
could scarcely be justified were I to
omit TO raise a warning voice against
the approach Of returning despOtism.
It IS not needed nor fitting here that
a general argument should be made in
FAVOR Of popular institutions; but
there IS one point with its connec-
tons, not so hackneyed as most 9TH
ers to which I ask brief attention. It
is assumed that labor is available only
In connection with capital; that no
BODY labors unless some body else
owning capital, somehow by the use OF
II, induces him to labor. Labor is
prior to and independent OF capital
capital is only the fruit Of labor and
could not have existed if labor had
not first existed Labor is the suDerior
Of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. I bid the labor
ing people beware Of surrendering the
power which they possess, and which.
If surrendered, will surely be used to
shut the door Of advancement for such
as they, and fix new abilities and bur
dens upon them until all Of liberty
shall be lost
In the early days Of our race the
kind: In the sweat Of thy face shalt
thou eat bread" and since then. if
we expect the light, and air Of heaven,
no good thing has been or can be en-
1Oyed by US without first having cost
labor and inasmuch as most good
things have been produced by labor,
II follows that all such things belong
Of right to those whose labor has pro-
duced them But il has so happened
in all ages Of the world, that some
have labOred, and others have, with
out, enjoyed a large portion Of the
fruits This is wrong and should not
continue To secure to each 1aborer
the whole product OF his labor, as
nearly as possible, is a worthy object
Of any government.
1T seems strange that any man
should dare to ask a just Gods as
sistance in wringing bread from the
sweat Of other mems faces
This country, with its institutions
belongs to the people who inhabit It
I see in the near future q crisis ap-
preaching that unnerves me, and
causes me to trembIe for the safety
Of my country. AS a result OF war
corporations have been enthrOned, and
an era Of corruption in high places
viii follow, and the money power Of
the country will endeayOr to prolong
its reign by working upon the pre-
judices Of the people until all the
wealth is aggregated in q few hands
and the republic IS destroyed feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety Of our country than ever before,
even in the midst Of war. God grant
that my fOrbodings may be ground
less"

Venice were shown. 1t opened with
Jack coming out of the bath house
where he met his mother. STOPPING
he tenderly kissed her and proceeded
down the pier to the training platform
out on the horse shoe.
The roll of films ended with the
same scene but in a different place.
O'Brien after boxing with the Terrible
Turk, Ward and Mortimer Swanson
was taking round at the punching
bag with his mother standing near by.
Hot and covered with perspiration
from the exertions of boxing with the
men and punching the bag, at which
his lightning-like quickness is shown,
when his mother rushed in, laying her
hand on his arm, stopped his work
and just as the end of the roll was
reached she drew him to her and
kissed him once more.
The third roll started with the men
coming into the ring, being introduced
and the first and second rounds. The
third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
are shown on the next set, with the
eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh on
the fifth roll. Two more rolls are
shown, which include the twelfth,
thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, six
teenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nine
tenh and the last round.
For the first three rounds the films
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-11

: are not very clear, but as they pro-
ceed they become more distinct. The
terrific blow which Tommy struck in
the fifth round and which came near
winning the fight for him via the
Knockout route, is clearly seen.
Several of the heavyweights of ring
fame were at the rink last night,
among whom were Jack (Twin) Sui
Ivan. AL Kaufman, George Gardner
and Tommy Burns. Charles McHughes,
better known as Little Lord Fauntle-
roy; after a little persuasion got Tom
my to go to the front of the audience
and be introduced AS announcer the
lord has Larry Sullivan of Goldfeld
fame beaten a city block.
Larry would have hard time keep
ing up with the lord, who with his
"Loidies and gents, I want to present
to you," and so forth, was running
race in which Megaphone Cook would
have been carded as a back number
Tommy was we'll received by the
crowd, who insisted on speech from
him. Burns in his quiet way thanked
them for their admiration of what he
had done on Thanksgiving eve.
The pictures are to be shown every
night this week, starting promptly at
S:15. In all it does not take more than
two hours to show the entire set of
six rolls
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-11

ANANY of the devotees of the ring
V sport in Los Angeles went to
4 the first exhibition of the Burns
O'Brien fight pictures last night at
Morleys skating rink. Admirers of
both men left the building saying,
"How could Jeffries have given a de-
cision like that after the fight that
Tommy put up against the Philadel-
phian?" Or it was this "The de-
cision was well rendered and should
be we'll received by true sportsmen."
But for the most part the audience
left the rink well satisfied with the
showing which both men had made
and with the clearness of the films.
More than half of the spectators in
the audience were women who while
not being able to see the contest did
the next best thing by seeing the re-
production of it. Many of these eX-
pressed their surprise while the rest
were almost unwilling to believe that
two men could be able to stand such
punishment as both Burns and O'Brien
did.
First was shown the pictures of
Tommy Burns training camp at Long
Beach with the heavyweight in action.
Tommy boxed several rounds with his
sparring partners, Memsic and Brown

never beat good ones. Gorgalette does
not like a heavy track. Chimney
Sweep likes a longer route and light
weight. Might run in the money.
Fifteen maidens are carded to face
the starter in the first race Treasure
Seeker looks best of what is very
ordinary lot. Premium Rose showed
early speed in her last race and should
be close up at the finish. Hazeline
will run a good race on heavy track
and will be a dangerous factor all the
way. The others on form do not fig
ure. Make the race Treasure Seeker,
Premium Rose, Hazeline.
Old Bill Curtis will again be seen
this afternoon in the second race. He
looks to have walkover, as Donohue
will start in the handicap. Col. Bron-
ston on his last race should be second
as easily as Bill Curtis should win.
Gentle Harry showed speed in his two
races here this season and should beat
Bonnie Prince Charlie for the short
end of the purse.
Cyclops has shown himself useful
colt by winning his two efforts here
and should come right back and win
again. Commida will be the one he
has to beat, as she will undoubtedly
improve over her last race, when she
appeared short. Kirkfield Belle will
be right there at the finish, but with
Quarrington in the saddle third is best
she can probably do. Should finish,
Cyclops, Commida, Kirkfield Belle.
Mazapan in the fifth race looks like
the best bet of the day She has lot of
early speed and the route suits her
nicely. Lady King has speed and
should shave little trouble to get the
place. Martin Beck has been working
well of late and will about land show.
Facts and Veritas Vincit have out
side chances to be third.
If Retropaw runs back to his last
race he should win the sixth race cas-
lily. His feet are bad but the soft go
ing will help him along. Creston Boy
is a speedy colt and will be close up
Succeed should have won his last start
but fo. running out. He is speedy ano
may win. Prince Frederick might
take a notion in his head and run one
of his good races. Can win then. Like
them to finish, Retropaw, Creston Boy
Succeed.
