considering the great develop
ment nature of the project, and
the thirfly settled country
through which the road is to be
constructed The part of Kan
sas that will be occupied by the
Nebraska, Kansas & Southern
Ry. will be one of the most prod
uctive sections of the state when
it is settled, as the soil is very
rich, the rainfall increasing rapi-
dly from year to year, and the
contour of the country very at
tractive. But at the present
time it is not very thickly popul-
ated becuase people naturally
dislilzed to live twenty or thirty
miles from railroad The con-
struction of a railroad will how
ever be followed by a great influx
of settlers, which will greatly
enchance the value of the land
and make that part of the state a
fit place to live, with schools,
churches, and trading points
And for the reason that all of
this will be accomplished by the
construction of the railroad and
that it will require time for the
road to pay back the money that
is put into it, it seems reasonable
that the small trip required to
construct the road should be
donated by the land owners.

A Kansas woman gives the
following as the. plan proposed
on their farm for next year to
retain farm help. The Emporia
Gazette indorse the plan Tt is
as follows: Three men are
usually employed for the season
by her husband, and during the
coming season these men will
find that ten hours constitute a
days work. An extra hand will
be engaged to do the chores, and
all that the three men will have
to do aside from the regular
work in the field, is to attend to
their horses at Qoon. Their eve
ningS will be their own; they will
not have to get up before the
rooSters crow in the morning
Iftheir work is required over
time, they will receive double
pay" The Gazette predicts
that this farmer will find the
experiment a success.

The Secretary of Agriculture
has presented his annual report
and has accompanied it with an
essay that may be in the nature
of valedictory. Secretary
Wilson is the Nester of the cab
met and he has held his present
office longer than any of his pre-
deceSSors and for a term cover
ing a wonderfully progressive
era Of farm and crop improve
ment. He shows that within
ten years the wealth production
of the farms of the country has
been greater than sixty billions
of dollars. By another state
ment he shows that the value
of farm products in 1899, the
Census year, being taken at 100,
the value in 1908, 125; for 1904,
131, for 1905, 1874, for 1906, 143;
for 1907, 159 and for 1908, 165.
'Phe value of corn crop almost
staggers credulity. The quantity
is $685. 900 bushels, valued at
81, ,615. .o0O,O ,O00 There are other
statictics showing a falling off in
the revenues of the government
that to the reflective mind should
produce as much optimism as
the big corn or rye crop. The
Commissioners of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. in his annual
report, states that for the last
year, there was decrease in
in receipts of $13, 100000 in
round numbers, as compared
with the previous year and when
comes from the smaller manu-
facture and sale of spirituous
liquors, there is reason for
thankfuiness from every man,
women and child in America.
The decrease in gallons taxed, as
compared with last year, is esti-
mated at forty millions. The
Commissioners accou nts for
this by the prohibition move
ment, the high price of corn, and
the agreement among distillers
to curtail production.
A Kansas man dropped into a
Democratic political rally the
other night. The show was
rather tame and in little while
he Topped over, slid down into
his coat collar and went to sleep.
He dreamt that he died and was
in Hades. A horrible noise
started up all about him. He
could not see anything, but the
fearful grinding, nerve wrecking
noise became louder and louder.
His soul shivered in terrible fear.
The turmoil grew greater and
greater. He tried to rus--and
then tried his new forked wings.
They refused to work A terri
bic blast of hot air struck him,
and he felt himself slipping and
sliding. Suddenly he awakened.
Great beads of sweet rolled
down his face. He pulled him
self up in his seat. The racket
was still there. He looked up
toward the platform. 1t was only
a Democratic phonograph grind
ing out a canned Bryan speech.
