pie of Kansas are timers" Next to
a political convention, grand
lodge meeting is an attraction that
can be counted upon to "fll up"
any town, and the fact that Garden
City is nearly 400 miles from the
eastern line OF the state will not pre-
vent the usual "outpouring" of dele
gates. For they have "the price
as well as the lodge spirit in Kansas.
By nature and by education Kan
sas fairly revels in these grand lodge
occasions. BY nature Kansas is a
state where the social instinct pre-
dominates and the grand lodge meet
ings afford abundant opportunity for
the exercise of that instinct. In no
state in the Union is there such
statewide acquaintance among the
citizens as in Kansas. Put Kan
sas man down in any locality from
st. Francis to Galena or from Troy
to Hugoton, and he feels at home.
He is bound to know people there
because he has met them sometime,
somewhere, at grand lodge gather
ing.

TVS UE M ONOAADDNs
Attorney General Jackson has held
that the locker system cannot be
used In clubs. The Topeka club has
issued this bold defiance and dared
him to prosecute It:
Nov to the main point. ! de-
sire to state in as broad and en-
phatic terms as language is capable
Of stating fact, that the Topeka
club at no time since It has started
has ever bought, owned, sold or
served a drop Of liquor. It Is true
that a comparatively few members
out Of a membership of one hundred
and fifty keep liquor in their indiv-
iduaI lockers, which is used by them
personally and in the same manner
that a man may use liquor at his
home. Such use, however. Is strict
ly Independent Of the club and out
side of the purpose for which the
club was formed and is maintained.
II do not desire to enter into any
argument In this communication, Tor
such is not Its purpose, but VIII
state that the club has never taken
out United States license to sell
liquor during all the years 1t has
N..L
been running, and that during that
time all the federal judges and all
the United States district attorneys
who have been in office have been
members of the club, and 1t Is an
absurdity to suppose that these men
would have helped maintain an In
stitution which was violating a spec
iic law which they had taken an
oath to enforce.
"The Topeka club has a clean
record and 1t invites and will well
come any investigation conducted
along decent lines and which has
for its object a desire to arrive at
the truth. AS far as the club is con-
cerned there need be no delay until
some new law giving addition inquis-
itional powers to officers goes into
effect. Its members will submit
themselves now to any examination
which any properly constituted Of
ficer may desire to make and Will
testify fully as to all matters con-
nected with the conduct and manage
ment of the club, provided always
such investigation is made in a de-
cent and orderly manner. But any
investigation which proceeds upon
the hypothesis that the club is con-
Quoting an unlawful business and
that its members are violators Of the
law will be resented and resisted to
the end.
"In this connection will say, that
while under its charter the Topeka
club is not an educational institu-
ton, it was compelled once upon
time to teach certain officious Off
cIals a lesson, but it hopes it will
not again be forced to continue a
course Of instruction as to the rights
of respectable law abiding citizens
under the law"
1t is now up to Jackson, will he
lie down or try 1t out?

Independence Reporter; Editor
Greer Of winfield, in his address be-
fore the Third district editors, Sat-
urday, made the statement that any
county boy or girl. can well afford
to act as correspondent for a city
newspaper for the practice and edu-
cation It gives. Mr.. Greer recalled
the fact that about twenty-five or
thirty years ago correspondence be-
gan coming in to the Winfield Cour-
Ter from a back district in Cowley
county. The work was 50 wen done
and the news was sent in from such
an unlikely section, that he sent for
the correspondent. A country boy
responded. He said that he was
writing the news because his father
thought II would give him good prac'
tice. After q while the young mar
got to the city. He was ambitious
and his correspondence training ser
we'd him well. Finally the country
correspondent in a sparsely settled
county in Kansas became George F
Thompson, chief statistician Of the
interior department at Washington
The newspaper office offers the cOun'
try boy a fine opportunity for train
ing.

FEWER FARM MORTGAGES.

Ten or fifteen years ago the farm
mortgage in the west was synony-
nous with ruin. That was because
the rapid development of western
states by men with little or no capt.
tai had been checked by a series OF
years of crop failure combined with
nationwide industrial depression,
says the CicaEo Record-Herald. Only
too many Of the borrowers found
themselves without resources to tide
over the hard times. Then came a
period Of recuperation on the basis
of splendid crops for many success
sive years. The debtors put all their
energies at work to pay off their
creditors, and some Of the western
states got themselves into such a
condition that a farm mortgage was
almost as hard to find as firm with
out mortgage had been few years
previously.
When that stage had been reached
the fortunate farmers along with the
townspeople who shared their pros
perity, found themselves accumulat-
ing funds which needed investment.
Purchases of adjoining lands sent
land values rapidly upward, and in
many cases farmers began to pur-
chase cheap lands still farther west
for their sons. In this way Nebraska
and Kansas and Dakota are engaged
in doing now what Illinois and lndi-
ana and Ohio did generation ago.
Such purchases often involve tempo
rary debts, and so the farm mort
gage now begins to become little
more frequent, but with an entirely
different significance from what It
mad two decades ago.
The Nebraska bureau OF labor and
industrial statistics reports that last
year the farm mortgages fiied
amounted to a total Of $4,000, 900.
as against ssO,7OO,OOO released. a
slight increase. The city real estate
mortgages filed amounted to almost
s14,OOO,OOO as against 100000 re-
leased, which indicates an era Of
BODYBUILDING, partly due to farmers
moving into the city and acquiring
town homes, while at the same time
keeping their farms O. q source Of
their income. Chattel mortgages
filed amounted to ss4,oOO,O0o as
against $4,000, 900 released, a large
part Of which may be attributed to
the appearance Of tenants on the
farms which the owners are ceasing
to work with. their own hands This
mortgage extension is one stage in
the movement Of prosperity. There
are no indications that states like
Nebraska and Kansas can ever again
suffer such depression as that of the
SOS.

JOKE ON TRUST BUSTERS.

IL Is popular tnosO uoIs ~
in public office to take a smash at a
trust at every opportunity. In the
legislative bodies of the various
states, and in Congress as WE'LL for
several years past, to suggest that
proposed legislation is directed at a
trust has been equivalent to hollow
ing "Hey RUDE" at a circus, Let
some legislator rise and declaim that
he has a plan to bat a trust and the
canvassmen Of the political circus
come running.
Only few weeks ago, when the
tariff bill was pending in the House
at washington, a member from way
out West, who knew nothing, or next
to nothing of the oil business discov-
cred that the bill provided for q
countervailing duty of so per cent on
crude oil. He promptly threw a
spasm, following Aldrich and Stand
ard Oil between fits. A motion was
made to cut the duty to rs per cent.
The boys with their ears to the
ground, and as little knowledge OF
the oil business as the man from
out West, came in on the run and
the House voted by a good majority
to cut the duty.
When oil producers the country
over, free from connection with the
Standard, found out what had hap
pened they began to throw fits. The
independent producers explained too,
why the Standard viewed the duty
reduction so complacentIy. The
Standard has plenty Of cheap oil in
Mexico that it.would be glad to bring
in free Of duty. But the Standard
lacked nerve to propose that crude
oil be brought in free Of duty be-
cause it knows something about the
oil business.
Now Ira NJ. Tarbell, the magazine
writer who has lampOdned the STAN
dard harder than anybody else, is
writing letters to Congress telling 1t
what fool it has made Of itself.
Miss Tarbell says that the independ-
ents are correct in their claim that
they need duty Of SO per cent to
protect themselves against the i'm
portation of cheap Mexican oil BY
the Standard.
Meanwhile, the Standard waits the
result, apparently little bothered Ell
Their way. Knowing the oil business
the Standard knows that Congress
will be compelled to back up now,
because 1t has developed that to cut
the duty on crude oil will be to play
into the hands Of the biggest indus
trial combination in the world. But
II the managers Of the Standard OIL
company had know as much about
Congress as thew know about the oil
business. they would have been sue
cessful in securing free crude oil. II
would have been necessary only fol-
the Standard to have made fight
to have a big duty on oil. Congress
coppers every bet It sees a known
trust make.-Junctlon City Sentinel
