KANSAS c0MMENT
FARMER Roys AND roWN


yesterday We talked to a farmer BOY
VINO mad left the farm and moved 70
town to help, run business. He is
getting along nicely in town, and Is
course of conversation about the
change that he didn't like town life
and that he was going back to the
e eornary Il Ts to put in crop pop wo
comes to town talks the other way
thinks he is going to have the world on
a downhil pull pretty soon, and that
ne is altogether too smart for lie III
the country. OF course that is a TOOL
ish notion. Some of. the smartest men
this country has ever. produced have
been farmers, and 1t is general RUE
that the healthiest, happiest people i've
In the country. Neither the town nor
the country has copyright on brains;
neither of them produces all there is OF
culture or learning or money or sue
cess. But somehow the majority OF
young men in the country and altogein-
er too many young men in town think
the town has got the edge over the
country, and that the place for a young
man to have the best show is In the
city: The boy on the farm has Just as
good a chance as the boy In town.
There is just as much in life for the
average farmer as there is for the aV-
erage townsman. Whether there IS mucn
or little in life for young man oe-
ponds not at all upon whether he lives
in the same block with 80 other people
or on the same half section with SIX
other people; it depends upon what ne
has got in him, what he is himself. II
he has got push, sense, education, rlgnt
principles, steadfast belief in the teach
ings of religion, and genera! desire
to make the most of himself that the
application of these things can give
him, he will get there, and no power
under Heaven can stop him. If he lacks
any or all of them, he will fall snort III
greater or less measure. 1t isn't Wnere
a young man lives; it Is what ne Is
Lawrence World.
THE PRIMARY.
The Leavenworth Times makes a
strong and forceful plea for direct prl-
maries in Kansas, in which we believe
it is in harmony with the desires of the
people of this state and with the pest
thought in politics everywhere. The OIL,
rect primary eliminates the polltical
machine to large extent II not allo-
gether and gives the individual voter a
much larger part in the selection OF
for public office. The re-
sponsibilities of public affairs rest upon
the people, and the nearer they can pc
brought home to the individual, the
better. There can be no perfect sys-
tenn of politics, whether In making
or in the conduct OF e1ec-
lions, but the direct primary offers less
for mistakes and corrupt
practices than the delegate ana con-
vention system, and places the respon-
sibility where it belongs, therefore,
should be adopted. 1t has been IN Lorce
for wears in Miami county in making
Republican county nominations, anu
will not be departed from here with the
consent of a majority of the party
Republican.

RULES ON LAND ENTRIES
United States Supreme Court Lays
Down Homestead Principles
in Montana Case.

Washington, March Announcing
the opinion of the court in favor of Fla
I hive in the case of Edward H. Love VS..
Annie Flahive involving a contest over
land in Missoula- county, Montana, Jus
tice Brewer of the supreme court of the
United States today laid down some
general principles regarding the relin-
Guishment of homestead applications
and the sale of lands taken up under
The homestead law before the issuance
of patent. On that point he says:
''Of course, whether there Vas a sale
and what was the thing sold, were
matters of fact to be determined by the
testimony and the findings of the land
department in that respect are cOnelu-
sive in the courts. 1t is objected by
the plaintiff that a Sale of homestead
prior to the issue of patent is void I'M
der the statutes of the United States
This is undoubtedly the law, and the
ruling of the secretary was not in con-
fflict with it, but the fact that one seek
ing to enter a tract of land as home
stead cannot make d valid sale thereof,
is not at all inconsistent with his rights
to relinquish his application for the
lands, and so the secretary of the in
terror ruled. While public policy may
prevent enforcing the contract OF sale,
it does not destroy the significance as
a declaration that the vendor no longer
claims title. He cannot sell and at the
same time deny that he has made a
sale. The government may rightfuIly
treat it as a REIMBURSEMENT and aban-
donment of his application and entry
No man entering land as a homestead
is bound to perfect his title by the oc-
cupation. He may abandon it at any
time or he may in any other satisfac-
tory way relinquish the right acquired
by his entry. Having done that, he is
no longer interested in the title to the
land. That is a matter 10 be settled
between the government and other ap-
plieants. In this case, Love having re-
linquished his claim, it does not lie ~,
his mouth to challenge the action of the
government in patenting the lands to
Mrs. Flahive"

R1THSCH.LD IS OPTIMISTIC
English Financier Sees No Danger
in Present Market
Conditions.

London, March 25.-"There is absolutely
no danger" was the reply of Lord Roths-
child, when questioned today by the As
ISOLATED Press in regard to the fears that
the stock exchange settlement WOULD re-
suit in trouble There may be a few
small failures Lord ROthschild said
but the reports that big financial house
is in difficulty, or that serious troubles
are anticipated. are mere inventions. The
London holders OF American securities
have been induced to sell there upon the
report that President Roosevelt intends
taking steps toward Matchmaking the
railroads, or at least enacting legislation
that may cuTtail the roads earning ca
pacities. For the same reason some Ger
man holders of American securities have
been selling in London. Then. of course,
there are great demands for money from
all points, but l have every confidence in
the ability of the market TO bridge the
difficulties. one thing is certain, there is
no panic and there is no danger of a
panic in London"

The release of J. W. Pcrcival from his
water main contract last year by the
board Of works, without the knowledge or
consent Of the city council. came up fo.'
discussion by the council last night. 4
letter vas read from the office Of the city
attorney notifying The council that the
board OF works had no right whatever %

on top OF MS came a report of the water
works and finance committees recon-
mending that in view of the decision of
the attorneys office the board of public

that DE must proceed at once with the I'M
finished portion of last years contract
The board Of works has awarded a. con-
uaCt for large part of this years city
work to Percival. His bid included some
OF the very work included in the contract

contract has not been approved by the
council yet and the whole matter was
laid over for week

WERE NOT CITY'S AGENTS
Suit for Damages for Loss Should Be
Against 0fficers-Dismiss
Dover Rights Case.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case Of Charles
Gillimar. appellant against the city of
Salt Lake. This is an action for tres
pass ana damages brought against the
city IN connection with the search Tor the
body OF man supposed to have been
drowned i'm the JORDAN river The alleged

mltted by three policemen. The action
was dismissed by the lower court and the
supreme court now affiI TINS decision.

had been using, the presence of which re-
CURED the building Of a new dam by
reason OF the menace to life, limb ana
property created by the presence OF the
unprotected dynamite a demurrer was
entered by the city on the ground THAI
the complaint did not state facts suffi-
cient TO constitute q cause Of action. This
view is upheld by the supreme court.
According 20 the opinion. the city was
engaged in the discharge of public duty
Through its police force, for the public
good and not for the benetit of the city
as corporation. The city, therefore, in
the absence of special statute cannot be
held responsible for the acts of the Of
ficers. If they were malicious or even
negligent. action of redress should be di-
rected against them and not against the
city which they did not represent except
as the city carried into effect the duties
deVolving upon the sovereign state which
were delegated to the municipality as the
states agent The court consequently
did not err in entering a dismissal of the
action.
In the second opinion by the court yes
terday the judgment of the lower court
was reversed in the caeS of Catherine d.

pellaut against +. X. Wilson. jr.. p y.

Wilson. ST., late of Brigham City. was
engaged in business with his sons and all
money and profits arising from the bus
mess were put into a common fund. They
owned a large amount of real estate and
during the lifetime of Mr.. Wilson's first
wife they conveyed their real estate to
their sons. The deeds, however, were not
placed on record until two days previous
to the marriage of Mr.. Wilson to the
plaintiff in the original action.
When Mr. Wilson died she brought suit
for her dover rights, claiming that the
transfer was merely means TO deprive
her OF her rights. The court awarded her
a part of the real estate involved and the
sons Immediately appealed as did also
Mrs. Wilson, on the ground that she was
entitled not only to a part but to all OF
the real estate as we'll The case is now
disposed of and the lower court is ordered
to dismiss the complaint.
