The Young Mans Chance.

The betrayal Of the public on the
tariff question by the republican par
y will mean the defeat Of many con-
gressmen and senators. Changes are
likely to occur in districts strongly re-
publican as such changes occurred in
1890 and 1894.
Now is the time for the young man
to enter politics. There ought to be
an out and out tariff reformer nomi-
mated by the democrats in every dis
trict and aspirants for the nomination
should begin NOW and earn the
nomination by an active canvass.
Brass bands are not necessary. Let
the young men who have a taste for
public life and an interest in the peo-
pie 90 out into the country precincts,
call the farmers together, read the
republican platform and then the
Payne-Aldrich Bill. Let them read
the democratic platform, pointing out
the necessity for an income tax and
then call attention to the income tax
amendment.
The people are sound at heart and
honest in purpose. Let the work of
education 60 on and success to the
congressional aspirant who wins the
nomination by proving his devotion

When a Man Leaves Missouri.

Occasionally a good man grows dis
satisfied with Missouri. The milk is
too yellow, or the honey too sweet,
and he doesn't like them to flow over
his land anyway. So he parts with his
farm, sells his live stock and other
things too numerous to mention and
moves to Oklahoma. Then he takes
his good Missouri money and buys
farm which to-day is and tomorrow is
not, because the wind has blown it
away. Or he tries Colorado and
slushes around in mud irrigating a
strip of bottom so narrow that a cow
can't Jump into the field, because she
jumps over 1t.
Then he hears Of Texas and goes
down to hunt the bag Of gold at the
end of the rainbow. In the daytime
he scratches sand burs out of his
horses flesh and at night centipedes
crawl over his face.
When his money is all gone he be-
gins to feel like he did when ever he
strayed away from home. He yearns
for good old Missouri and the yearn
sticks in his throat and chokes him
until tears come to his eyes.
He would give a months work to
see the cows standing at the bar on
his old Missouri farm and hear the
horn blow for supper.

Farmers Holding Back Grain.

York or Boston for funds. When it
was known in August that one Of the
largest grain crops, il not the largest,
ever produced had been raised in
Minnesota and North and South Qa-
kota, a fall money demand oflarge
proportions was predicted, railroads
looked for overburdening grain tom

grain trade expected Minneapolis
elevators to fill up rapidly.
This has not happened. Farmers
are holding their grain. They are

Latest Kansas Events.
Are Am Workers There.

The spoiled "Cholly" who bends his
way toward the University of Kansas
in the hope that there he will find the
circle of the elite" to whom the grind
of toll is unknown, is doomed to dis
appointment. Figures show that near
~ three-fourths of the 1900 or 1000
boys in the university this year are
earning a part or all of the money
that they are spending for an educa-
ton, and more than that, they are
satisfied with the way they are doing
it. Some time ago Chancellor Strong
mailed an inquiry to every student in
the university to determine the extent
OF self-support among the students,
and the replies show that in round
numbers those students are spending
yearly 100000 that they have earned
to help pay for an education.

To Raise Tobacco in Kansas.

The farmers of Atchison county, and
Buchanan county, Missouri, are be-
coming interested in tobacco raising.
They will watch, an experiment that is
soon to be tried on the Kansas side
of the Missouri river. A capitalist of
this city has decided to finance the
trial. He has given w. H. Berry, a
Kentuckian, the use of II acres of
land a mile south of here, and will
erect large tobacco barn an the
tract. The farmers of Buchanan coun-
ty insist that the soil on the Kansas
side of the river is not the kind re-
quired for tobacco, but Mr.. Berry be-
lieves that he will be able to raise a
good crop there. Soon after the Civil
war the farms south of Atchison pro-
duced tobacco of fair quality, which
was used in the making of cigars. At
that time one farmer maintained a
cigar factory on his land and shipped
cigars to Denver and other western
points. The high revenue compelled
the Atchison county farmers to aban-
don cultivation many years ago.

Blow to Injunction Seekers.

The Kansas supreme court, in a de-
cision handed down recently. holds
that if a city is stopped from selling
bonds to build an electric light plant
it can recover the depreciation in
value from the persons securing the
injunction. Clay Center voted bands
to build a municipal light plant,
but the company then operating the
plant stopped the sale Of the bonds
by an injunction. After it was de-
cided that the bonds were legal the
city started to recover the amount
of loss because the sale of bonds was
held up. The district court held
against the city, but the supreme
court reversed the lower tribunal and
ordered the company to pay the city
$3.50.
