ADVERTISING FOR FREIGHT.

1t seems somewhat peculiar that
railroads have never before advertised
their freight business, as was sug-
gested at a meeting of traffic men in
Chicago recently. Freight forms the
big end of every railroads business,
but if an ordinary person desires to
find out anything about it he must go
to an agent and make inquiries in
person; and if he ask too many Ques-
tons the chances are that the agent
will have to write to headquarters for
the answers.
But the passenger end of the busi-
ness is advertised in every way, and
very effectively. There would be
comparatively little passenger bust
ness to California each fall and winter
If the railroads did not advertise 1T.
The railroads also advertise the adj
vantages of new localities on their
lines, with the result that they have
built up new empires in recent years,
and these empires in return afford
them valuable freight and passenger
revenues.
If these things pay, why would it
not also pay to advertise for freight
business? Perhaps the railroads have
done this advertising in the shape of
rebates heretofore.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

The country editor exerts a greater
influence in the affairs of this nation
than he dreams. A little paragraph in
a country paper will sometimes make a
congressman, away off in Washington,
Jump sideways" Especially is this
true if the congressman knows the edi-
tor and knows him to be sincere. OF
course, if the editor is one of the sort
whose ideas are just on the surface,
changing continually, or If he is not
sincere, the congressman will know it
and will pay little attention to him;
but If he is a man Of firm principles
and prints just what he believes, what
he says will influence his readers, and
the congressman watches his opinions
carefully.
In the current number Of the Atlantic
Charles Moreau Harger comments on
this influence of the country editor
Among other things, the article con-
tains this paragraph:
1.-The power of the country press in
Washington surprises me-" said mid
die west congressman last winter
During my two terms I have been i'm
pressed with it constantly. 1 doubt If
there is single calm utterance in any
paper in the United States that does
not carry some weight in Washington
among the members of congress. You
might think that what some little coun-
try editor says does not amount to any,
thing, but it means a great deal more
than most people realize. When the
country editor, who is looking after
nothing but the county printing, gives
expression to some national question
the man of here in congress knows
that it comes from the grass-roots. The
lobby, the big railroad lawyers and that
class of people realize the power of the
press. but they hate 1t. have heard

THE UNIVERSITY,

/ kansas takes great pride in its state
university. That institution on Mount
Dread, down at Lawrence, .exerts a
powerful influence in the advance
| ment of this state. Young men who
have been trained in its halls are now
assuming high places in all lines of
endeayor, not only in this, but in other
states as well. The attorney general
| Of Missouri, the Nemesis of the Stand
ard Oil company, received both his
collegiate and his legal education in
| the University of Kansas. In state
craft, in law, in education, in business,
Kansas university men are coming to
the front.
But truth compels the statement
that Kansas is not making as great
an institution of its university as it
might. 1t is not building it up in
these days of prosperity as other
states of the middle west are doing
with their institutions. For instance.
Kansas spends only $25O,Oo0 a year
for the maintenance of the institution
Gown at Lawrence. Nebraska, with
less wealth and population. spends
$431, 900. Missouri, Minnesota and
Ohio each spend from 100000 to
$500, 900. California, which has about
the same population as Kansas, gives
its university $S55,00O a year just for
maintenance, and its plant is worth
many millions. Michigan spends
$742, 900 and Wisconsin $4,000 each
year TO run their respective univer-
stiles.
So it is easily seen that Kansas is
running it's university at a compare
lively small cost. Nor are the univer-
sity authorities asking for much of
an increase for maintenance. They
estimate that a little less than $780,
600 will run the university during
each of the next two years. of which
about $4,000 will come from other
sources than legislative appropriation.
But the university is asking that the
state make an additional investment
in it's permanent plant. 1t needs
especially a large engineering building
and a smaller one for mines and
mineraIogy. 1t has 402 students in
engineering work. and it has only
$4,000 invested in an engineering
building. Missouri. with about the
same enrolment, has two engineering
buildings, costing $4,000. Iowa uni
versity, with half the enrollmnet. has
five engineering buildings, costing
$4,000.
In these piping days of peace and
prosperity Kansas should build one OF
the greatest universities in the Missis-
sippi valley. During recent years this
state has grown tremendously rich.
states have invested
heavily in education. Kansas ought
not to be behind them, and If it is
going to catch up it should do SO now.
Kansas can not afford to be niggard-
" with any of it's educational instttu-
tions

FRON ON7ER PENS
THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

The democratic members of the two
houses of the Tennessee legislature met
Tuesday and nominated former Gov
ernor Bob Taylor for office of United
States senator This will be followed
by election when the day comes, and
no delay whatever will occur. With the
senatorship thus promptly disposed OF,
legislation will proceed unobstructed.
No deadlocks, no feverish maneuver-
ings or wire-pulhngs, no possibilities
of scandals
Here we witness the primary plan or
choosing senators in its perfect opera
ton There were two aspirants for
this place, and both strong men. They
submitted their claims to the people
from. the stump, and the state was all
attention for months. Now Taylor
seemed to lead, and now Carmack,
Everybody in the party took sides, and
it was not until the polls closed that
the excitement subsidized But when the
count showed that Taylor had won,
the Carmack people, with their leader
giving the cue, accepted the situation
and the rest was easy what is tax
ing place at Nashville now is in
obedience to instructions then Issued
in agreed party form.
But let us suppose the fight just
opening at Nashville, with Taylor men
supporting their favorite and the Car
mack men their favorite, and the no.
tells crowded with eager onlookers.
Who. legislator or onlooker, would be
giving a thought to anything but the
senatorship? How long would 1t take
to decide matters with both men
strong, and the whole state aroused
A deadlock would be very likely. The
business proper of the legislature
would be halted. A scandal might arise,
for while both Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Car
mack are men of the highest charac-
ter, far above any improper step them
selves, some indiscreet or over-eager
friend. in his desire to advance his IA
vorite's fortunes, might do something
that would lead to grave embarrass-
ments all around and discredit the
state Such a thing has more than
once happened in this country.
In Texas we have a different situa-
ton, though the trouble there is in no
measure due to the primary. That was
held in due form. and. but for the de-
velopments since respecting the man
then voted for, the legislature might
easily dispose of the senatorship in an
hours time. Had Mr.. Bailey's name
not gone before the primary he would
still have had to meet the charges that
have been brought against him, and
the legislature still have been asked to
investigate them.
