BIGGEST STATESMAN"
In SunfiOwer State They Say in
Headlines.
Authority ON Stock, Grain and
Prosperity.

Under the heading, biggest Sun
flower Statesman Here" the Los An
geles Express has the following article
about Secretary F. D. Coburn of the
Kansas Board of Agriculture, who is on
the Pacific coast on q sight trip:
. Kansas Most Illustrious Citizen.
Coburn of Kansas is here.
He has slipped away from his desk in
the Kansas state house. from which he
watches over the agricultural interests
of the Sunf1ower state. and has come
with Mrs. Coburn, for few days sight
seeing IN Southern California.
T. D. Coburn is Kansas most illus
trious citizen.
Kansas regards him as greater than
any governor, and as higher than any
ether public official. In fact, he has
turned down a seat in the United States
serate when it has been almost forced
upon him, and the people of his state
repeatedly would have elected him gov
ernor had he consented to serve.
But he has rejected all political hon.
ors believing that he can best serve his
state as secretary of its state board OF
agriculture, working out the problems
that confront the Kansas farmer and
lending his brain to lettering agricul-
tural conditions Much of the wealth
and prosperity that has made the Kan
sas farmer independent in recent years
has been due tc the efforts of F. d
Coburn.
lie Is one OF TWO Kansas men whose
fame has gone into practically every
civilized country. The other is Charles
M. Sheldon. the Topeka minister and
author If In His Steps,
Repeatedly has he been suggested
for secretary of agriculture in the
presidents cabinet. but just as often
has he refused to consider such a pro-
position. Three years ago when ]. B.
Burton resigned as United States SEN
ator from Kansas, Governor Hoch,
then chief executive, offered Coburn
the seat and begged him to take it
when he declined. Governor Hoch
held the place open for a week trying
to reverse Mr.. Coburn's determination,
and even called on President Roose-
Welt to try to persuade him to accept
Disli<es Ostentation.
Mr.. Coburn came to Los Angeles

unheralded, because he dislikes osten
tation. When some of his Kansas adj
mirers discovered his presence last
evening at the Woodward hotel and
wished to do something in his honor,
he asked to be excused from the hon
or on the plea that he came here on
quiet sightseeing trip and for a
little rest.
II must make my stay BRIEF he
said, for fear I might fall a victim to
the charms of Southern California, as
SO many other Kansas people have
done. I have been in Kansas for 43
years, and the state has treated me SO
we'll that I would not wish to become
disconnected there. I have seen Kan
saS pioneers who have done remark
ably well there come here and become
so enamored of the region that they
have cut loose from Kansas entirely.
yet Kansas is great state. A few
years ago we used to say in jest that
Kansas farmers had so much money
they did not know what to do with it.
The art of investing surplus funds is
one which has to be learned. The
Kansas farmer has the surplus. but he
has not yet learned to invest it.
"A short time ago 1 was out in Rice
county, typical central Kansas COM
munity, and rode over much of the
county. All the farmers had bought
all the land adjoining them that was
for sale, they had purchased automo-
biles and other luxuries, and they had
moved into town and built fine city
houses-and still the money from
their wheat and corn and alfalfa piled
up in the banks and they do not know
what to do with it.
I'm my ride through Rice county
saw only one farm that was occupied
by its owner; all the rest had moved
to town, and tenants were running the
farm. This I regard with apprehen-
sion for the tenant will I'm

farm will.
Kansas Land Values.
incidentally. this condition is hard
on the real estate men who depend on
that business for living. 1t has come
to the point where farmer is afraid
to put price on his land. for fear his
Ineighbors or somebody will buy it-and
then he doesn't know what to do with
the money. Land values have trebled
in a few years, and there is little land
for sale at any price.
And Kansas is prospecting morally
as we'll as financially. In the last two
or three years it has gone absolutely
dry from a prohibition standpoint The
prohihltory law always was we'll en-
forced in the great majority of the coun-
ties of the state. but in a few of the
larger towns it was violated. But now
We have some state officials who have
an idea that an oath of office means
Just what 1t says. and they are deter
mined to enforce the law. AS a result,
the local officials of the towns that al
lowed joints and saloons have learned
that they must either enforce the law,
get out of office or go to Jail. Hence,
Kansas is absolutely dry. and more pros
porous than ever.
He Boosted Prohibition.
Kansas City. Kan. is the largest
city in the world without a saloon, and
its wonderful growth and prosperity
since its saloons have been wiped out
have refuted the lie that a town can
not be built up without saloons. The
