There was time when the West
Indies swarmed with pirates, and mer-
chantmen plying their trade in that
quarter ran big risks of losing both
crew and cargo. The pirates, the buc-
cancers and the whole lawless outfit
disappeared before the advancing pow
er of civilization, reinforced by men.of-
war which were more than a match
for the free.booters. Occasionally,
however, some reckless spirits start
out on career akin to that OF the
rovers of the sea 200 years ago. Gen.
orally the experience is short one.
The United States revenue cutter AL
gonquin, cruising along the coast Of
Porto Rico, fell in with sloop which
had been stolen from an island port.
The vessel was rugged up in pirate
style and the thieves aboard Of her
were planning a course Of robbery, ex-
pecting when they had accumulated
sufficient booty to escape to Santo Do.
mingo and to enjoy their ill.earned
wealth. Instead Of this they stand a
fair chance of languishing in prison.
These are unpropitious times for the
most ambitious pirate He is certain
to get run in.

TAFT HAS ENOUGA VOTES
NATIONAL COMMITTEES WORK
THUS FAR GIVES HIM son
Small Sop for Foraker--Both pe'ega'
lions from His Home District
Are Seated

Chicago The Republican ma
tional committee by Its work Wednes-
day decided contests in two states
at large and IA districts, the net
result being that 33 full and ga full
votes were added to the number al
ready possessed by William II. Tart,
and 2h votes were given to Senator
Joseph B. Foraker.
The committee has yet to consider
contests at large in four states, and
total of IS district contests and two
from the territories, involving total
| of "a votes.
Previous to the meeting OF the COM
mittee the number of Taft Instructed
delegates was 3S7. The work OF the
committee as far as 1t has progressed
has given him III additional votes, or
total of 504 on the temporary roll
call, or more than enough to nominate.
The chief interest OF. the day CEN
tered in the Ohio contests. of which
there were four, in the Third, Sixth.
Tenth and Thirteenth districts. Taft
was given the delegates in the Third,
Tenth and Thirteenth districts, and IN
the Sixth district both delegations
we're seated with half vote each.
The Foraker men made strong
fight In this district because it was the
old home of the senator and they were
| anxious to secure its votes for him.
The Foraker delegates are Mark Shoup
Of Xenia and r. l.. Gilchrist of Leban-
on. while the Taft men were H. M.
Brown of Hillsboro and Charles @.
Hildebrandt OF Wilmington. The lat.
ter faction has been recognized for the
last four years rs regular.
The days proceedings opened with
the hearing of contests from the
Eleventh and Twelfth Missouri dis.
tricts, after these coming the North
Carolina contests, which were over
the delegates-at-large and seven dis.
tricts. These were not consolidated
and were heard separately. Ohio fol-
lowed North Carolina, and then came
South Carolina, where only one con-
test, that of the delegates-at-large, was
heard. This went to Taft by default
and the hearing Of the cases from the
First and Fifth South Carolina dis
tricts was passed until Thursday.
With the end of the labor of the ma
tional committee fairly we'll in sight,
discussion turned Wednesday to the
possible makeup of the credentials
committee of the convention, to which
many of the contests will probably be
appealed. The talk centered largely
around Harry NJ. Daugherty Of Colum-
bus, o., who arrived in the city Mr..
Daugherty is slated for the credentials
committee from his state and it was
general gossip that he may be chosen
chairman Of the committee when 1t is
made up next Tuesday. Mr.. Daugher-
ty did not deny that such a sequence
of events was possible, and freely dis
cussed the probable work of the com.
mittee.

The house in which Paul Revere
lived when he made his famous ride
from Boston to Lexington has lately

1000 HOMELESS IN FLOOD
kAW RIVER OVERFLOWS NEAR
NORTH TOPEKA, KAN.
Private Homes Are Opened to Those
Driven Out by Rising Waters
Stream Will Soon Be Normal.

Topeka, Kan. About 1000 per-
! sons have been driven from their
aomes in North Topeka by the flood
in the Kaw river. The major portion
found shelter in Topeka proper, where
the auditorium, school buildings and
private homes have been opened to
them. No loss of life is reported, but
there has been much property loss.
The crest of the flood reached Topeka
Tuesday, when the government river
gauge showed a register of 27.3 feet.
Saturday there was registration OF
II feet, indicating fall of three inch
es This is five below the highest
mark of the disastrous 1903 flood.
The government weather bureau
says the river will continue to fall un-
less another rise comes from above
Manhattan. No rains fell in the ter
ritory above here, but showers are pre-
dicted.
In North Topeka the water was run
ming at an average depth over the
town of three feet. Around Garfield
park, the northern end, the water is
four to five feet deep, with consider
able current. At Gordan street, in the
business center, depth of three feet
prevails and at Laurent, four blocks
north of the river bridge, the water
is two feet deep with considerable cur
rent. In Little Russia" the east
suburb, five feet OF back water pre-
walls.
The farmers up the Kaw valley have
suffered great loss, as the water has
been from bluff to bluff at Rossville
and Silver Lake, width Of two miles.
A rise of three feet in the Solomon
river at Salina during the night is re-
ported and slight fall at Marian
and Silver Lake. No trains reached
Topeka over the main line of the
Union Pacific, Rock Island or Santa
Fe Tuesday. One Santa Fee passenger
reached here by the Ottawa cutoff,

mo to Usage City on the east on the

The au,lns,, Of FARMING.

j the rule prevailed in farming
which governs other businesses, the
marvellous prosperity Of the farmers
in recent years would make the de.
mand for farms SO great that It could
not be met without exhausting the
available supply Of abandoned land in
the east and the unoccupied land In
the west. The corn yield last year, ac-
cording to the government Crop Re-
porter, was worth half a billion dol.
lars more than in 1899, although the
crop was smaller. The wheat harvest
was worth nearly two hundred mil.
lions more for about the same number
OF bushels, and SO on through IL prin.
cipal crops, with total increase in
value for the IL of billion five hun.
dred million dollars. The prices for
farm products have gone up, and male
the farmers rich. They have paid OF
their mortgages and have been asking
the banks to take their surplus
money, even at the low rate of two
per cent interest. Since corn and
wheat and potatoes sell at prices from
a half more to nearly twice as much
as in 1899, it is important for the con.
sumers that the extent Of agricultural
land, or the amount raised to the acre,
should be increased. This country
cannot continue to export grain with
out increasing the yield. That in.
crease must be considerable, even to
keep pace with the demands of the
growing city population, to say moth
ing of the increasing consumption OF
their crops by the farmers themselves,
now able to enjoy luxuries they once
could not afford. Men with money
rush into one business after another,
frequently created by a passing fad,
and lose their capital, forgetting that
there is always demand for the prod
ucts of the farm, even In panic times.
Men can get along without automo-
biles, but they must eat. The present
profitable prices are to continue for q
long time, in the opinion of the secre-
tary of agriculture, for population has
grown much faster than the farms;
therefore the business of farming
ought to hold the attention of those
seeking success.
