Gets Rate on Water; Visits Alfalfa Mill.

B. A. Casner, who returned Friday
from a two weeks business and pleas
ure trip to Denver, Boulder, Long
mont, Loveland, Fort Collins, Windsor
and Greeley, did some work for Olath-
cans by personally calling upon Vice
President Schlacks at Denver and Sc
curing very low rate on soft water
from Delta to Olathe.
Mr.. Schlacks seemed very deeply in
terested in Olathe and was glad to give
our people the benefit of rate. The
Rio Grande always stands ready to
help out any town along its line and we
are confident that the citizens of Olathe
will fully appreciate this act of both
Mr. Casner and Mr.. Schlacks.
Mr.. Casner while in Boulder called
upon the officials of the Niwot alfalfa
meal mill. He says the mill over there
is great success, selling the entire
output as fast as manufactured, one
car, he was told, being shipped direct
to Germany.
Mr.. Casner was well pleased with
what he saw and learned about the
mill. .-Olathe Criterion.

State Revenue From National Forests
Increased.

In addition to the benefits secured by
fire protection and by regulations which
control the use of timber-land and
range so as to insure permanent sup
plies for local use wants, the states
having National Forests now receive,
under the new Agricultural Appropri
alton Bill, 25 per cent of the gross pro-
ceed derived from the sale of National
Forest resources. This amount, ac
cording to law, goes to off set any
losses to the states through withdrawal
of forest areas from taxation, and is
devoted to public roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable areas in the states in which
Withdrawals were made. The Forest
Service, quick to see the justice of these
complaints, recommended at first that
10 per cent, and later that 25 per cent,
of the gross proceeds from the National
Forests be paid to the states. AS a
result, the states are assured of school
and road funds, doubtless more certain
ly than they otherwise could have been
since the permanence of the Forest
resources is now secured by conserva-
tive management. Had the forests
never been established, their resources
would undoubtedly have been exhausted
by hasty and improvident methods of
exploitation, leaving the lands wasted
and unproductive.

Petty Thieving An.
noys Austin Country
AUSTIN. CCLo., July 90. 1908.

ED. INDEPENDENT:
Some queer things happen in this old
world of ours, not only in more thickly
populated sections, but in communities
where the population can be counted
by scores, or at most by hundreds.
There are some dishonest people every
where. at least people who have a
mania for appropriating other peoples
property. | am sorry to say there are
some, think but few, of this class in
the vicinity of Austin. Property has
been taken by some party or parties in
the past few months, and no positive
trace of the thieves has yet been found.
While there has been well defined sus-
picions, yet no one wants to smirch the
character of any citizen by giving pub
licity to their suspicious. One gentle
man who recently moved into this sec
tion had brace and bit stolen while
unloading his goods at the station; two
families had dishes and other articles
stolen from their residences; another
had some window frames and part of a
keg of nails stolen while he was build
ing residence. Numerous other little
thefts have occurred. About month
ago, Mr.. j. Keiser and wife were visit
ing of an evening at Mr.. John Kettles.
While sitting in the house about 8
o'clock, an automobile, without lights
or gong, but making hideous noise,
drove along the road. Mr.. Keiser's 8
horse became frightened and breaking
loose ran away, upsetting the buggy
and smashing it up generally, over
turning it beside the road. The wheels,
which were extra strong, were not in
jured. Mr.. Keiser was not able to
move the remains of the buggy at the
time, and let it lay where it was. He
had no idea of any one molesting it,
but, behold! few evenings after he
was told by neighbor that the wheels
had been taken off the buggy. Sure
enough, when Mr.. Keirer went to look,
the wheels were gone, the taps being
carefully put back an the spindles.
Investigating, he found that the thief
had used light wagon to haul the
wheels away, and that he had come
from the direction of Austin and re-
turned in that direction. The foot
prints around the buggy showed the
thief to have large foot, or at least
wore number 9 or 10 shoe, rather
broad and fiat. This was the culmina-
tion of the stealing, and the citizens
the reputable part-are incensed be.
yond measure and would willingly join
MIR. Keiser in paying a liberal reward
for ferretting out the rascal or rascals
who are guilty of these thefts. No
property that can be hid or safely sold
is safe while these thiever are at large.
They would rob a mans house, his
chicken house, or even his stable. 1t
is only matter of getting away with
the goods.
Mr.. Editor, have written this more
in the hope that it will be read by the
thief, or thieves, and deter them from
pursuing any further their dishonest
course, than with any hope they will
return any of the stolen goods. If
they persist, they will venture once too
often and land IN the ''pen." The rep
utable citizens of Austin and lower
Surface Creek will not have the fair
name of this section smirched by these
jackals. Eternal vigilance" will
capture thieves as well is it is said to
be the price of liberty"

Up TO time OF going TO press. the
political skies look propitious for
Bryan. Ohio, New York. Indiana
and Illinois are strongly probable
for Democracy. With certainty
would be. if left to natural inclina-
ton. but with vast amounts of money
already placed by the Republican
party to buy their electoral vote, the
integrity of the voter only can save
them to Bryan. The ways of politics
damnable- damnable when money
buys enough of the peoples vote to
place a yoke about the necks OF all.
That is what the Republican party
is doing for the country today. Al
ready, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been cent into each of the
above States to buy another admins
tration of Republican misrule and
panic. Can the nation prosper when
the right of sovereignty ia sold to
autocrats and plunderers for stip-
end? Rome did not-no nation of
antiquity ever existed long after its
people sold their God given right TO
rule. Nor can this. one, unless the
crime of vote buying, contemplated
next Tuesday, and practiced by the
Republican party in all former
elections. is arrested and banned for
ever.

II is neither startling nor unlock

quence Of a cause-a cause that
must be removed before the word

The man with the burden already

his shoulders'-he balks at the
prospect of carrying it forever, and
who can Justly object to his demur-
rer?
Not we for one. for under the

these noble sons Of toll whose strug-
giles are not our struggles, whose
obstacles are not our obstacles, for

To these ends we speak and to the
reformation of whatever condition
blocks the man of toll from the sta
ton to which he rightfully belongs.
In this connection ge shall write
our will rather than our way: for
the way leads through years of pa
tient struggle. loyalty to self, gov
eminent and right, and the unfal-
tering perseverance of Stoics.
But the man with the burden will
carry If faithfully to the end. and
when he has accomplished for him
self, through patriotism and right
proceedings a better era, he will lay
that burden down, and wear all
those distinctions-not his today.
The day is not far distant, if not
present now. when he will make
his demands felt in all the chan
nels of life, as well as in politics

The two types illustrate the eff
forts of the Drawn of the country to
throw off oppression. to obtain
equal rights under the law, and TO
get just recognition of their pursuit
