Is the fashion Of some wild-eyed office
seekers out here in Kansas to rail at
Mr.. Cannon and tell what they would
do u they we're sent to congress.
Should they go there they would for
get 1t oil but that is so well known
that their attacks on the speaker
count for little. There is just one
way to run government on large
scale and that is by doing business
and not by holding an eternal talk-
fest. Mr.. Cannon believes that the
government is great business con-
Germ and he is going to do his part in
accomplishing things that are for the
interest Of the whole people. The
rules may need changing, but fifty
members can change them. The fact
is a lot Of the members are rabbits
and put on the speaker the response
bility they are afraid to take them
selves. But Speaker Cannon stands
it and makes a leader Of whom the

voter to state to what party he be-
longs but only to say for what party
he wishes to vote. 1T argues that 1t
will be possible for the Democrats to
make the Republican ticket. The
Blade is in error. The law also pro-
yides that the committeeman br any
elector may challege the voter and
the voter shall file an affidavit saying
among other things, II am member
Of and am affiliated With

the ground that the voter is not a

will This Work Out?

The usually safe agricultural
guide, the Mail and Breeze, advocates
dynamiting the soil in order to raise
more crops. 1t says that few years
ago man with some original ideas
in his head went out west Of the town
Of Medicine Lodge some three miles
and bought up some Of the land. He
paid $40 per acre for it and we have
no sort Of doubt that the man who
sold him the land believed that the
purchaser was soaked on the deal.
He bored holes in the ground per-
haps 8 or 4 feet deep and in each hole
he placed a half stick Of dynamite.
The holes we're placed about 40 feet
apart. His theory was that explod-
ing the sticks Of dynamite would
loosen the hardpan subsoil for a dis
tancs Of 20 feet or such a matter in
each direction from the exploded stick
and that when this'was done 1t would
permit the moisture to go down into
the earth as far as the bottom Of the
holes and also let the roots Of the
alfalfa or corn get down into the
hitherto impervious subsoil.
The results seem to be all that he
anticipated. That land is now as fine
alfalfa land as there is in that section
Of the state. The other day he was
offered and refused $4,000 for
quarter section Of land that originally
cost him $1,000.

Long and the Railroads.

Referring to the REFLEcToR's files
Oi three years ago we find that this
paper was one Of the very few in the
state that heartily commended Sena-
tor Long for refusing to bind himself
to support any measure that the
rabbit statesmen were to propose
until he had seen what it was-and
events proved that Senator Long was
right. President Roosevelt went out
OF his way to write a personal letter
telling him so. This state was then,
as now, afflicted by a lot Of weak
kneed politicians who thought they
could get office by abusing the rail-
roads-though all the time holding
up the roads for free passes. Long
refused to be bulldozed by that kind
Of persons and he was exactly right.
1t is related by W. Y. Morgan that
even the sanity Bristow in private
conference advised Long to use "a
little policy" and so fool the people.
But Long refused and has stood con-
sistently for the right thing and man
ly action in legislation.
