"He Loved the State"

When a man has once been active
in Kansas affairs it seems that his
affections always reamin with this
state, regardless of how far outside
US borders his subsequent pursuits
may take him. Professor James H.
Garfield, foremrly known to everyone
in Kansas as the active and intereso-
ing teacher of economics at the
State University was such a man.
At his funeral, President Butler Of
Columbia said that he believed the
word Kansas" was engraved on DR..
Canfield's heart. Professor Garfield
was much given to expressing his
views on economic subjects and while
in Kansas was the center of consid-
cradle controversy. He commanded
the entire respect Of even his ad-
versaries, however, and his career Of
closing with several years as librar-
ian Of Columbia University was watch
ed by his former associates in Kan
sas with interest and pleasure. Much
has been published about him since
his death last spring, and in a re-
cent magazine article letter written
by him a year ago is printed in
which he said that after his death he
did not wish anything in the way of
public ceremony or memorial. But
one thing he would like to have done,
he admitted, and that was to have
his former students at the Univer-
sity place In the old classroom a
small tablet on which should be en-
grayed these words, HE loved the
state and was loved by Its Children "

The Railroad Situation,

Everything pertaining to the pre-.
liminary work Of the Kansas-North,
western is progressing satisfactorily.
At a special meeting Of the county
commissioners Tuesday petitions vert
presented asking for an election to
vote aid in Albion and Fsirview
townships. There was a slight tech
nical error in the Fairview petitions
which had to be corrected before theJ
could be passed on, therefore the cali
for an election for neither township
was made. It Is expected to have
the defect remedied ay next Monday
so the call can be madae.
The election in Great Bend city
and in Great Bend township will be
held on Tuesday of next week. A
great amount Of argument has been
made in favor Of voting this aid.
and the opposition, Of course, have
also made argument. The verdict
is to be given by the voters. We
have just this much more to add
There are number Of matters men,
toned, which are not mentioned be-
cause they are about to happen, but
because certain interests would un=
doubtedly be pleased to have the aid
defeated, trying to stop the building
Of the road. Every voter should prop
erly weigh this question and vote &C
cordlngly. Promises to do something
with nothing back of those promises.
are no good. The promoters Of the
Kansas Northwestern are home men.
who have backed every statement
they have made with facts, and ara
ready to do business just as soon
as the people say the word at the
election next week. Let us add to
the wealth of the county, to the tax
able property Of the county, and to
the upbuilding Of our city and coun-
ty by getting a north and south road
Opportunity" the word made inn
mortal by ingalls, poem, is knocking

enter and be one Of our circle.

a main auditorium that will seat 900

Rose Valley Township.

In company with Ira Brougher, E.W,
Moses and c. V. Brinkman we made
a trip down to Rose Valley Township
In the southern end Of Stafford cour-
ty this week in the interest Of the
Kansas Northwestern Railway, stop
ping several hours in st. John On
the way over. We found the people
Of st. John up and a coming for thu
railroad and for all other improve
ments. They have been doing a good
lot of building in that little city IN
the past two years. They are getting
some fine business houses, and many
very fine residences up. The buet-
ness men seemed to be all doing q.
good business.
Rose Valley, the township weWsat-
ed, took our eye though. 1t would be
disloyaI to our fine county to say that
it was more beautiful and better I'M
proved than any township we have
but 1t Is disloyaty, and only telling
the truth, when we say it is as good
as any we have. The improvements
are certainly fine. On account Of
their distance to market, many 0
the farmers have erected large ele-
vators. Several were pointed out to
us that have a capacity Of 10000 bush
els of wheat. The people are fine
and enterprising lot. Our meeting was
held in Dist. 40. which has so many
pupils that a two room school house
is necessary. They have a fine mod
ern building, we'll equipped, heated
by a furnace and everything very
nice. We never were there before,
but we liked the country and the
people so well that we are going back
They, also, are enthusiastic for the
railroad.

Land Values Increasing.

County Assessor Diffenbacher has
prepared a list Of selling values Of
Barton county real estate, showing
the per cent of gain in the selling
value of Barton county real estate
over the assessed value as shown by
the returns of the assessors two year
ago. This report is prepared under
the direction of the tax commission
ers of the state and will be used by
them in equalizing the assessments
this year.
Wherever a sale has been made in
any township the selling value is TAX
en- and compared with the assessed
value. This is done in the case of ev'
cry tract sold. Then the average in
crease is found in per cent of in
crease and the report is made for
each township separately. Below We
give the average increase in the sew
eral townships and in the cities and
towns of the county:
Albion township, "a per cent.

Good Advice.

The Democrats are having their
innings" at Topeka this week.
Judging from reading the daily
papers the Democrats are all dead in
love with Governor Stubbs, and are
about to come into the Republican
fold. They have been in the habit
of doing that very thing along about
primary time, but what the Republi-
cans most desire is for the Democrats
to come in-and stay in. This thing
of being a republican at primary time
and a democrat at election time, it
strikes us, isn't Just the honorable
thing to do.-St. John News.
Those are our sentiments. A voter
is either a democrat or a republican,
or some other party man, according
to what he believes in. He should
vote his party ticket at the primary,
then, after his party ticket has been
selected, and his party council has
adopted a platform, he should sup
port it, unless it is at variance with
his views, in which case he will and
should do 81 mething else. Every
voter should vote his ticket, wheth
er at primary or general election.

Meet Them All At Great Bend On Sales Day. Wednesday, March 9th Come

five per cent on the royalties which
a landlord receives from mines on
his land. Suppose you owned some
land that was almost useless, and pro
duced say fifty cents an acre. Some
body then discovers coal there, you
will then lease that land to somebody
for development. You yourself don't
put a cent in the enterprise but the
other fellow finds all the capital and
takes all the risk and then when they
get the coal out you step in and
charge about four per cent on the
value of coal mined. Then the man
who mines the coal must have houses
for the men he employs so you let
him build on the same land yet make
him pay a ground rent yearly of say
$4,000 per acre, which is alittle more
than. the fifty cents per acre you
were getting before they found coal.
And not only this, but when the lease
expires you get all the improved prop,
erty, coal mine and land back again.
So. Lloyd George modestly asks for
five per cent of these royalties. These
then are items of the budget which
have got the aristocrats of England
sore. The Budget was submitted to
the House in April last and after a
thorough examination was passed
with an overwhelming majority Of
two hundred and thirty. The bill
then went before the House of Lords
and although by the constitution the
Lords are not supposed to turn down
a finance bill, as the control of the
purse belongs to the Commons, yet
the Lords rejected the bill, an action
unknown for the past three hundred
years. The House of Commons met
two days later and the Prime Minis
ter announced the following resolu-
ton:
"That the action of the House Of
Lords in refusing to pass into law
the financial provision made by this
House for the service Of TIE year, is
breach of the Constitution, and a
usurpation of the rights Of the Com
mons"
This resolution was adopted and
next day Parliament was prorogued.
Writs for the general election were is
sued. The chief issues of the cleo
ton being the Budget, the House Of
Lords question, and Protection or
Free Trade again. The elections have
now taken place, and the Liberals,
Nationalist and Labor have sub
stantial working majority over the
Conservatives, and as they were elect
ed on this ticket, they have the auth
ority of the people to pass. the Bud
get, curtail the power of the Lords,
and maintain Free Trade.
