Little Choice Among Tyrants.

IF the reign of standpat tyranny is to
continue l have little choice among the
tyrants. Destroy the despotism if you
would destroy the despot. Cannon and
Aldrich are indeed the Apollyon in the
path of progress, the chosen champions
of privilege. the guiding genius of the new
administration, the friends and favorites
of the king. perched upon the very arms
of the throne.
Roosevelt was able to run his admin
istration without their domination. 1t
seems that Mr.. Taft surrendered at the
first summons. Roosevelt in his way was
the friend of progress and the foe of
privilege, and the people may yet prefer
the strenuosity of Roosevelt to the snu-
osity of Taft. They may yet conclude that
the hands are the hands of Esau, but the
voice is Jacobs voice

WHEAT NEEDS RAIN.
Secretary Denton Reports Bad Con-
ditions in Southwest Kansas.

Kansas needs rain. The wheat belt,
especially, is suffering. In some places
the rainfall has amounted to nothing
since last June. Thomas county re-
ports only half an inch of rain since
July. Harper county reports only an
inch in that time.
Secretary of State c. E. Denton has
just returned from an extensive trip
through the south end of the broad
belt and he is getting nervous over
prospects for the wheat crop next
year.
I'm Harper and other counties in
that neighborhood," said he, the
wheat seed is lying in the ground just
as hard and dry as it was the day 1t
was planted. 1t has not terminated
at ALL
"a good soaking rain followed by a
warm spell would bring it out all
right But a good rain followed by a
freeze would kill it ALL And the trou-
bic is that a rain at this season of the
year is usually followed by hard
freeze"
The late, dry fall has enabled the
farmers in the corn belt to harvest
their corn crop in good shape. Most of
it is now in the bin.
The grazing section had just enough
moisture to make fall pastures good
and cattle have done exceptionally Well.
Stockmen say they never were in bet
ter shape to go through the winter.
Wheat in the Kaw valley and East
erh Kansas is looking well because
more rain has fallen there than in
the real wheat belt in central Kansas.
But a soaking rain would be mighty
welcome in eastern Kansas at this
time.

A play with a high purpose is the
best description of Elfnor GIyn's
dramatization of her book, '"Three
Weeks" which will be seen for the
second time in this city at the Grand
Thanksgiving matinee and night.
The detail of the book, which was
so frank in utterance and created so
much unkind criticism, is entirely
eliminated in the dramatization, and it
has been made into a love tragedy
with romantic atmosphere similar in
style and quality to '"The Prisoner of
Zenda" and Beverly of Graustark. -
AS far as moral tone is concerned, it
is far superior to "Sappho" and
"Zaza," or even Camille" and East
Lynne" 1t suggests a vast number of
thoughts that appeal most strongly to
women and should be needed by men.
Lessons can be drawn from the story,
which if applied to action, would make
much more happiness in the world.
