AFTER FIFTY YEARS
By John Thos. Porter

Fifty years ago, and less, this was
called Bleeding Kansas" but now
it is sweltering Kansas, for we are
enduring warmer weather than ever
experienced in our good southland !;
but this is essential to the growing
corn, the haying and the gathering
and threshtng of the immense grain
harvest.
No state in the union was more
unfortunate IN it's early history than
Kansas. For many years the vast
caravans of covered wagons wended
their weary way from the middle
states ito Kansas or bust" and at
other times equal, and often
greater streams, going back with
their motto simplif1ed to From Kan
sas busted
No state was more slandered for
years, but still people came and went,
and an increasing number would re-
main until now it's population is
about one million, six hundred thous-
and, or two and a half times that of
Florida 1t had on March Is, 1909,
one hundred and eighty million dol
lars on deposit in her state and ma
tional banks, and it's taxable vaIua-
ton, as listed for 1908. was two and a
half billion dollars. In 1904 her per
capita of wealth was $69.S9, and now
is $113.56, or in the past five years
has almost doubled.
Fine School System.
Her people claim the best school
system of any state of the union. In
-J0S her total expenditure for the
county high school to the "one teach
er district school," was over seven
million dollars, and of this vast sum
$685., oS0.00 went to the "one teach
er" rural schools. The total number
Of teachers employed in the public
schools in 1908 was thirteen thousand
$4,000 and Of these 2,465 are males
and 1881 females, or about five fe-
males to one male teacher.
Whence this great growth and this
vast increase in wealth? She has
no great cities, and her banks are
as widely scattered as her fields. She
has great fields Of coal, oil and gas,
but the one great source Of revenue
are her crops of wheat, corn, oats,
barley, fax and hay, and her horses,
mules, cattle and hOgs-and one of
her great orators declared at ithe
great st. Louis exposition that her
hens produced more eggs in that year
than the whole cost of the Louisiana
purchase"
Kansas people are indeed boastfuI,
and they have much indeed to boast
Of, and the man passing through
these great agricultural states at
this season OF the year would be com
PEELED to say that Florida has but
little TO OFFER this people but climate.

travelled long enough he would count

AGED PROSPECTOR
 WOULD KILL TAFT
flOurishine Knife and Demanding Where. abOuts of President. Thomas ThOrp
 is Arrested After Struggle.

IA Albuquerque, N. M. Oct. 15.- F!ourishing knife and shouting, Where is Taft? want to kill himl" Thomas Thorp, an aged prospector, approached Policeman Guvera today few minutes after President Taft and his party reach ed Albuquerque. Thorp was ar- rested after a severe struggle
 It is believed that Thorp is in- sane. He was first lobServed cary in the day and was acting queer.y. His actions attracted | the attention of Chief of Police McMiMan. to whom the prospec- tor addressed a number of ques- tions. The chief ordered Thorp to be wa tened and the local officers kept near him unti the time of his arrest. He never approached the president, the arrest occurring at quite a distance from the presI- dential party.
 Arriving here at , o'clock the president aroused intense enthus- iasm by repetition of the de- c,arations that he made in Arizo- ma that he favored statehood for the two adjoining territories lol the United States and would do all in his power to see that the long deferred hopes of the people of Arizona and New Mexico are tified.
 The president spoke from p.atr form near the railroad station and was after entertained at a banquet at the Alvarado hotel by the commercial club.
 1t was at Laguna, township made up entirely Of Indians, that the president had one of the most unique entertainments of the trip.
 As he sat in a little canopled stand in the plaza enclosed with adobe huts and walls, the presis dent was showered with presents. There were blankets of gaudy col ors. Indian beeds and other of- ferings which the red men had ia shsoneI ill his honor. The plaza itself. the walls and the terraced roofs ci the adobe houses were lined with Indians, the squaws be- ing attired in fantastic costumes, which were bright in the uncloud- ed sun.
