IN OLD MISSOURI.

The millennium must be getting
close to Missouri. Such thing is diff
ficult to believe. especially in view of
the fact that not very many years ago
Missouri was tagging along at the tail
end of the procession, the farthest
from the millennium. and was pulling
back with all its might
But Missouri appears to be travel
ing at a swift gait these days and is
rapidly catching up with the head of
the parade. A short time ago Cover
nor Folk, a Democrat. appointed L. D.
Fisher. Republican, as county judge
in DeKalb county. and this unusual
exhibition of nonpartisanship has
brought to light this extraordinary
situation upon which is predicated the
opening statement of these remarks.
Last fall James Sherard was the
Democratic nominee for county judge
of DeKalb county, and his Republican
opponent was Mr.. Fisher. Counting
all ballots. Fisher was apparently
elected, but $50 ballots were thrown
out on technicalities, and this gave the
office to Mr.. Sherard. Sherard, how
ever, believed that the majority of the
people voted for Fisher and that
Fisher was entitled to the place, and
Sherard therefore refused to accept
his commission. Governor Folk sug-
gested that the easiest way to make
the record straight would be for him
to accept the office and then resign if
he thought he was not entitled to it.
This Sherard has now done, and in re-
signing he asked Governor Folk to
appoint Fisher, his Republican oppo-
nent, to the vacancy. The governor
promptly did so.
Is not this ground for belief that
the millennium is bearing down on
Missouri and will soon have that state
in its clutches? 1t is certainly encour-
aging when such high principles of
honor find their way into politics
where one is unaccustomed to seeing
them. AS rule men fight over a
dinky little Office and contest their op-
ponent's election to the uttermost, TAX
ing advantage of every technicality
possible. Are there many more Demo-
Gratis like Mr.. Sherard in Missouri?

THE RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.

The action of the state board of rail-
way assessors in adding something like
II million dollars to the assessments
of the railroads and other public SER
vice corporations will meet with sew
eraI rounds of applause from over the
state.
The State Journal has believed that
the railroads were possibly. as justly
assessed as the average of other Kan
sas property, but the Investigations
made by the railroad assessors during
the last two weeks show that some of
the railroads. at least, have been
guilty of as pronounced tax-dodging
as the most unpatriotic private citizen.
Property has been returned at very
small per cent of its value, and in
some cases it has not been returned
at all.
OF course. it is the plea of the tax
dodger that everybody else does it
and he must do it also; but is that
valid excuse? 1t is true that tax
lodging is extremely common and it
is a genuine public scandal, but one
that is overlooked. Some of these
days a public official will get after the
tax-dodger and win the plaudits of the
state. Just because one man is dis
honest toward the government that
protects him is no reason why another
man should be dishonest also.
The fact that the railroads have
been cheating the state in returning
their rolling stock and material-at
least some of them have-leads to the
suspicion that the roadbeds and ter
minals are also assessed entirely too
low. This is a difficult matter to get
at without a great deal of work and
study. The present board has made
some increases in the assessment on
the roadbeds. but it has not had time
to fully acquaint itself with that sub
ject, and the assessments may still be
too low.
The present railway assessors have
done their work as no board preceding
it has ever DONE The inquisitions it
has held have been extremely valuable.
not only in the information they have
brought out for present use, but for
the precedents they have blished
for the guidance of future assessors.
Incidentally this board has probably
taught the tax commissioners of the
railroads that a sworn statement
should be as near true as they are able
to make it

LAW IN WESTERN KANSAS.

Eastern people are apt to look upon
those of the comparatively sparsely
settled regions of the west as rough
and lawless. They may have been so
thirty or forty years ago, but they are
not today. The law against gambling
is better observed in Arizona now
than it is in New York. and western
people as a rule have the utmost re-
spect for law.
Out in Grant county. in this state,
the first jury trial in ten years was
held last week-and this trial was
over a trifing damage suit that had
no business in court.
This is really a remarkable show
ing. To be sure Grant county has a
small population, but for the people
of the county to dwell together in
peace and harmony for ten years
without appealing to a court jury to
settle their differences is extremely
creditable. Not only was there not
criminal action in that time. but there
was not even a civil dispute that re-
quired the services of a jury The
people of Grant county have little use
for court.
As a matter of fact. the people of
the western prairies are not only law
abiding in the extreme, but they re-
spect one another's rights to
marked degree. The percentage of
the population that goes from out
there to Lansing is much smaller than
from the more populous and civil
lied" counties further east. The pro
hibitory law has always been enforced
in nearly all of the shortgrass coun-

William Van Sickle, who died at

The lumber for the house was hauled

of a single generation in Kansas is re-
called by this incident, and it almost
passes comprehension. In the brief span
