kANsAs...AN INCIDENT

Years ago q procession OF covered
wagons came stringing thru Iowa and
Illinois back from Kansas" Their oc
cupants that tried Kansas" The
drouth burned their banks and with
cred their crops one season and an
other. When at last the awaited crop
stood lush and green in promise, the
"grasshoppers'' swept down like
storm clouds and next morning fields
were blackened stubs where the corn
had stood, the gardens had disap-
peared. and even paint had vanished
from such houses as had boosted its
adornment. Then those who had tried
Kansas" hitched the team in haste and
hurried from starvation back to Gods
country"
That happened not so long ago that
middle aged men do not recall wildly
the devastation and the flight that fol-
lowed. Some of them are back in Kan
away from in their hoyhood. The re-
turning procession rested and turned
back. Kansas is one of the prosperous
states of America and high in intel
lgent citizenship. No more do the
wagons come stringing back. Kansas
has been tried and has not been found
wanting.
Now Kansas is getting ready to put
such arid acres as remain to the plow
and in bearing. One large valley
Quaker valley on Spring river. has
failed because of drouth year after
year. 1t is proposed by the state to
adopt the irrigation methods of the
national government, dam the river,
enc Of the largest in the state, and
make Quaker valley pay its just toll,
to Gods country" the Kansan of to-
day stays by it and turns an arid and
repellant waste into Gods country
1t is the spirit Of the time. We have
merely entered on the coming era of
vast improvement and progress in all
lines. We ale only peering thru an
early dawn at marvels to be. The
stones which the builder rejected are
to become chief corner stones of pros
perity and enlightenment. The fore
Swallowed certainties of the future
make us long to live beyond the COM
mon span of life merely that we may
see with our own eyes their complete
accom- plishment. Within a lifetime the
splendid empire Of the transmssissippi
has been developed. The shuttled rail-
reads have sown the face of the west
with farms and towns and cities. The
telephone has become a household ac-
cessory and moved one home UP
against all the others of a county anG
a state. The automobile has con-
quered distance. The airship is in tn,
sky. Kansas is only an incident.

THE POINT TO AIM AT.


The Register and Leader believes
it to be true that the Bell telephone
monopoly is engaged in buying i'm
portant exchanges all over the state.
and that within a few weeks it will
be practically in control of the sit
uation.
The natural inclination will be to
attack the mergers and decry the
tendency to eliminate competition.
But the public win do we'll not to
rection. For in the end competition
cient telephone service.
The point for the public to fix
attention at, is the sort of public SUI
pervision all naturalp monopolies
must in the end be alternatives, public
there are but two alternatives, public
ownership and public control of the
most ample sort.
The danger is that the telephone
organization before the people get at
it will be so loaded with watered
capitalization that. as in the case of
the other public utilities in the state,
rates will be a continuing imposition
to insure profits on an investment
that was never made.
In every legislative district one Of
the first questions that should be
asked of the prospective candidate is
whether he will stand for a real
public control of the public service
of whatever nature. Every year that
Iowa dailies means millions added tc
capitalization that the courts viii
recognize Another legislature should
not pass without putting Iowa in .he
forefront in this matter of saying how
and on what terms the public shall be
] served by its natural monopolies.

English Literary Man Astonished to

Among Americans,

purely literary subjects. adding ana
bly,: -
You have been too busy and useful

much time to the arts and graces of
learning"
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare.

often were absurd "as, for example,"
he said. Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care. How ridiculous
to figure sleep as knitting up torn

A young American sitting near him
said modestly: 81 think the word is
not sleeve, but slave, the thin fluff of

preston among weavers."
In the United States probably"

meant sleeve"
Il believe" persisted the American

centuries byweavers in Scotland and

English frankness said, laughing:
