FARMING AND CAPITAL.

"For the best development of agri-
culture there must be an organized CO.
operation of effort between the various
agencies of agriculture. capital, trans
portation, and state and federal effort, :"
writes Milton Whitney in the Ameri-
can Review of Reviews for September
in an article on 1.-THE Relation of Capt.
tai to Agriculture"
Agriculture is one of the large in
dustries of the country. There is no
business today which could better
utilize capital, or use it more profit
ably, if modern business methods of
organization can be introduced. With
the exception of a few partly organized
lines such as dairying. cattle raising
on large ranches. fruit raising, truck
growing, rice production. and to a
small extent tobacco growing, which
perhaps in the aggregate absorb one
or two hundred million dollars, agri-
culture does not offer capital what the
latter regards as safe or practicable
line of industrial development.
with the highly organized lines of
industrial effort it is becoming less and
less difficult to invest surplus funds in
the so-called industrial enterprises.
Factories, mines and railroads are run
on capital furnished by banks, by trust
and investment companies. and by in
dividuals investing their surplus funds
all through securities which are uni
form within large issues of many mil
lion dollars apiece; whereas the aver
age farm mortgage is only few thou
sands. and 10 two farm mortgages are
precisely alike. Besides, a mortgage
is merely a loan, and what capital in
the large way demands is a share in
profits, like stock

MIR. FROHNIAN's IDEA.

A novel idea is circulating within
the Uranium of Charles Frohman, the
theatrical magnate. He would have
the theater supplant the church. 1t is
this way. He has discovered that the
size of the congregations at most of
the churches in the large cities is
diminishing. Or, at any rate, a
smaller percentage of these congrega-
tions is attending the services on
Sundays. For this reason the church
is not successfully coping with the
moral and ethical problems of human
ity which mean so much to the adj
vancement of civilization. Mr.. Fro5l-
man is of the opinion that the people
are willing to be preached at if they
can be amused at the same time.
Ergo, Open the theaters on Sundays
all over the land, but present nothing
in them except plays that have a
sound moral lesson. Mr.. Frohman
has heretofore been an ardent cham
pion of keeping the theaters closed on
Sunday but since this brilliant idea
struck him he has been working on
the preIiminaries of a crusade for the
passing of laws which will permit the
theaters to open on Sundays under
these circumstances in all states and
localities which now make them close
their doors on the first day of each
week.
If Mr.. Frohman's suggestion is to
prevail it would probably mean the
opening of the doors of the theaters
to each and every play that has ever
been written, although he would have
! committee of citizens in each COM
munity decide on just what plays
might be produced on the Sabbath.
The more immoral the play, the more
insistent is its author and his friends
and the admirers of the play that it
! brings home a great moral lesson, by
| contrast. Where, therefore, could "a
line of demarcation be drawn between
plays that do and do not teach a
sound moral lesson?
Would Mr.. Frohman charge admis-
sion to his moral teaching PERFORM

ANOTHER SCORE FOR TAFT.

President Taft has scored again, and
heavily, in the selection Of the commits
sion, provided for by an act of con-
gress, to investigate the question Of
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission authority to supervise future
issues of stock and bonds by railroads.
This important proposition was urged
by one of the planks in the last Repub-
lican national platform. It was only
omitted by congress from the new rail-
road measure which was passed be-
cause of the difficulty that arose to de-
wise a system which would work in a
just and equitable fashion. The repre-
sentatives and senators were unable to
agree on such a system so the whole
matter was stricken from the railroad
bill. and authorization was given to the
president to appoint a committee TO
look into the question and make sug-
gestions as to how it could best be
solved
The commission selected by President
Taft approaches the IDEAL President
Hadley. OF Yale university. who is the
chairman, is recognized as one of the
leading authorities in the country on
railroad topics. So is Professor Meyer.
of the University of Wisconsin, who is
also a member of the railroad commits
sion of that state. which has been
working for the past few years under
the advanced system Wisconsin has
adopted for the control and regulation
of the public utilities in the state.
Then there is Mr.. Judson, a lawyer of
high ability and an expert on the inter-
state commerce law; Mr.. Strauss, a.
New York banker of prominence. who
is we'll informed on the investors side
of railroad stocks and bond issues; and
Mr.. Fisher, who helped to bring order
out of chaos in the traction tangle in
Chicago, by dumping much of the wa
ter out OF the capital stock of the street
railway companies.
There is no reason in the world why
the public of the entire country should
not have the utmost confidence in this
commission. 1t will do it's work we'll
and the results it attains ought to be
large. There Is no more important
phase of railroad regulation than the
control of the issue of stocks and
bonds. 1t is important to both the
railroads and the public. And, per-
haps, it is best for all the in
terests concerned that congress did not
rush hastily into legislation on this
score, but was content to wait until an
impartial investigation of the question
could be made. That such an investi-
CATION will be made, there can be no
doubt. The credit for it will belong to
President Taft for the discernment he
used in selecting the commission.

HYHAWKER .JOTS

Down South. they call the big farm
ers planters says the Ottawa Re-
public. Thus does Southern courtesy
avoid the embarrassment of intimating
anything about the harvest.
A man has been found at Howard
who is past understanding, reports the
Minneapolis Messenger. He does not
expect to have a good time at the
county fair because his wife is away.
Every young man should remember,
says the Herington Sun. that if his
income is just a little above his ex-
penses every day he will eventually
become well off. If his receipts daily
lack a little in meeting his expendi-
ture he will become candidate for
public favors at the poor house. Hon
est work at any calling and such
economy as the case requires, is hon
orable; while idleness and spendthrift
habits are disgrace to anyone. young
or old.
Lou Hills of Highland got mad at
one of his mules the other day, be-
cause it wouldn't stand over. and

when he recovered his senses he want
ed to know If the barn had fallen on
him. He had cut on the chin that
had to be sewed upu, and several sore
spots caused by tearing through the
side of the barn.
A Great Bend woman heard a
knock at the door the other day and
peeking out saw a caller, relates the
Great Bend Tribune. In the three
minutes that elapsed between the time
of the knock and when she opened the
door she Strengthened things up in the
parlor, put clean table cloth on tn
table, and got out the cut glass and
spread it around as II it was common,
washed the baby's face. put clean
dress on it, and then changed her own

frightful look of things about the
house and said she Just couldn't keep
the baby clean and had quit trying to,
although it was dressed in its Sunday
clothes.

KANSAS COMAENT
BOYS AND EDUCATION.

Why cannot boys appreciate the value
OF an education? The educated man is
the one who can get to the front these
days. He can do everything the uned-
streets. in the mills or factories, in the
mines and packing roops ana tnen
some. If he has the education ne can
advance from the packing room to tne
ONCE; from a common mechanic 10 a
boss. The educated young man can de-
pend on either his body or. his brain
for support, while the uneducated must
depend solely on his physical resources

and learns rapidly, and I know educa-
ton is the making of him, but cannot
make him see It." said the father.
A few days ago a widow who moved
to Atchison to educate her two sons,
made the same complaint. One son
kept at it until he secured business
course and holds position of respon-
sibility. The other boy is lighting
against spending any more years IN
school. The, mother, who has been sac

INSPECTOR DEW'S GREAT WORK.
Don't cast any slurs at Inspector
Dew of Scotland Yard. He kept Doc.
Crippen from committing suicide and
thus escaping the sort of punishment
that he will probably get in the regu-
lation manner intended for such cases
as his. A man in his morose moments
sometimes wants to do rash things
like taking his life when sane men
know that the best thing to do, es-
pecially II he is guilty. is to get it in
the neck at the hands of some one
who is paid to do that kind of work.
The chances are that if Doc. Crippen
had taken his life he would have done
a bum job of il. England is we'll
versed in the beheading art and is
better equipped for such emergencies
and odd jobs like the one that is prob
ably waiting for, Doc. Crippen.-Otta-

ances on Sundays, or would be invite
the audiences or congregations to
gather at the playhouses in such
numbers as they saw fit and discharge
their obligations by whatever they
pleased to put in collection plates?
And does Mr.. Frohman intend that
portions of each of the collections TAX
en- up from voluntary contributions. or
at the box office per force as would
more probably be the case, shall be
devoted to home and foreign missions
and the saveral other beneficent ac-
tivities which are dependent on the
generosity and patronage of church
goers? He hasn't discussed these
phases in connection with the substi-
tuition of the theater for the church.
The theater has its place in society,
and there is room for honest differ
ences of opinion as to whether or not
performances should be given in 1t on
Sundays. But the theater will never
supplant the church as the great NOR
al force and leader in any civilized
community. And there would be much
more respect for Mr.. Frohmans eff
forts to open the theaters on Sundays
if he had not worried his brain by
thinking out such silly subterfuge.
