The Last Great West.

Is this prOgressiOn7 Why, do
you not know that without the

never loans its money never pays

community when accepting the

The one duty of man is to pro-

Aldrich at Headquarters.

Quite an important conference
was held on ]. PierpOnt Morgan

1t is understood that Morgan S
guests included Senator Nelson W
Aldrich, Senator George P. Wet
more, who had just returned from
seeing President Taft at Beverly,
and Charles D. Norton, the Presi-
dents secretary.
Morgan is known to take the
view that Aldrich's promised re-
tlrement would be a national ca
lamity," and it is believed he
urged Aldrich to reconsider the
matter.
Politicians in Rhode Island new
er have believed Aldrich would re
tire at the end Of this term, as
he announced last spring. 1t was
not expected that Wall Street
would consent to lose its most alb

The Agricultural College is un-
usually we'll equipped for teaching

lege believes that the way to teach a
student is to show him how a thing

the college has horse powers, wind
mills, gasoline engines, steam engines,
water wheels and electric motors.
The college owns two traction en-
gines, doing grading, hauling, scrap.

the students a chance 10 become thro.

ing an immense amount Of field work
this spring in finding out the best
method for destroying the chinch
bug. Professor Parker and his as
sistant have been doing actual field
work 10 Harper and Sumner counties
aud have tried various methods, such
as dust barriers, tar lines, and the
the use of the blow torch for killing
the bugs after they have gone down
into the dust burrows. They have
cut and piled the outer rows of corn
and have allowed the bugs to come
in there and then have turned over
the stalks and used the blow torch.
The recommendation now to be made
is to clean up all places where bugs
may 60 when leaving the corn in
September and then to burn all such
places some time before the first Of
November.

The Democratic Position.

Republican Spell-binders have
.intimated the Democratic party
stands for free trade. Absolute
> free trade is impractical with
the Unified States. Every country
m the world, including Great
Britain levies some tariff, and
this country must always do so.
The Democratic position on the
subject is. substantially as fol-
lows:
FirSt-The government should
never collect one penny more of
revenue than necessary to ad-
minister its affairs with rigid e.
0nOmy.
SecOnd-The lowest rate that
will yield the greatest amount of
revenue should be imposed.
Third-Luxuries should at all
times bear the highest revenue
duty.
FOurth-Experience has vindi-
Gated the wisdom of ad valOrem
duties as being the correct prac-
tice.
Fifth-Revenue duties should
be laid so as to operate with
equality throughout the union
discriminating neither for nor
against any class or section.
Sixth-Absolute necessities al
ways should go on the free list.
Seventh-There should be i'm
posed a revenue duty upon practi
eally all imports, with certain ex-
'ceptiOns. These exceptions to be
determined by the test:
Imports coming in competition
with trust controlled products to
be placed on the free list, and ar
tlcleS Of absolute necessity should
pc imported free of duty.

Wheat is good crop this year and brings in more
money than any product in the state Of Kansas The
banks Of the state cannot compare with the farmer
who raises wheat in profits. These profits always
seek investment. The question, is what to do with
the money. To put your money in the bank does
not pay, because banks are after the profits and if
they pay you interest for your deposits they cut
down their profits, consequently they won't pay you
only very low rate Of interest, if any, for your
money. Men all over the country, who have money,
be it much or little, will not consider anything for
an investment except land, because it has come to
be the safest place to put money where it will surely
come back to you with big profits and even bigger
profits than you make by wheat raising and these
land profits come back to you with all the money you
first put into the land, with certainty.
We have the largest list of lands in central and wes
tern Kansas The lands have to offer are from $1,000 to

A Travellers Letter.
Dear Mr.. Feder:-

well we nave naQ a nara tllle
trying to find the opportunity to
write the letter we promised you,
but since we are out of sight OF
land and the wind is blowing so
cold on deck, will make the eff
fort this morning.
Our trip has been one cOntin-
uOus round of good times, wonder
full and interesting sights and
experiences never to be forgot
ten, and which one living in Kan
sas seldom enjoys.
Niagara Falls is probably the
most wonderful sight we have as
yet seen, and we certainly enjoy
ed it. We won't try to make any
description of that wonder, but
will advise everyone who has not
seen it to make a special trip
there some time. 1t is grand.
Chicago is surely a fine city.
We visited the parks, large stores
and saw many of hte finest res
licences in the city. We spent al,
most a week there and are hop
ing We will have some extra time
on the return trip that we may
take in some of the sights we
missed.
The ride on the lakes from Chi
cago to Buffalo on the fine ship,
NOrthland, was a rare treat to
us. There was hardly any mo-
ton to the boat as the water was
so smooth. The poor fish were
the only creatures who may have
suffered on that trip. We stop
ped an hour at Cleveland and
saw a little of that city. 1t was
so smoky and dirty that we were
not very favOrably impressed will
/ it.
While in Buffalo We took aridC
on the "Seeing Car" and looked
around the business section a lit
tie.
But of all the places of inter
est, Boston is the best.
There are so many drives and
side trips in and out Of Boston
1t would require at least a month
to take them all in if one would
60 every day. We staid only
few days; took the historical drive
went to several beaches, and had
a general good time scouting
around the city. Got along re-
markably well for people who are
used TO straight streets and right
angles.
Spent a very pleasant week in
Rhode Island visiting and enjoy
ing life on a beautiful farm.
All Of the towns and cities are
connected by trolley and W took
trips every day. Had several
shore dinners and saw them bake
the clans.
The state house is a very fine
marble building, the interior dee
oratiOns of which were designed
by Stanford White, and are GER
tainly pretty.
At Newport we saw the New
York Yacht Club and had a great
time down on the beach.
Have gotten some fine pictures
On the way, and will be prepared
to tell more about our trip when
we get home.
The weather has been perfectly
lovely with the exception of a
couple Of rainy days, and we re-
gret very much that you folks in
Kansas can't enjoy it with us.
We have worn our wraps every
day since we left.
Sincerely,

CHAMPION
OVER JOHN c. HAYES

Johnny Sullivan won the ten-mile
race from Hayes last night and
proved that he was the champion.
He raj in a good, clean style and IN
the opinion of Bosco is entitled to all
the credit he received. Some say
that he should not have taken adj
vantage of Hayes after the latter was
troubled with cramps. Sullivan had
him beat anyway and whit difference
did a few laps make? The race was
absolutely fair and ] guess everybody
was satisfied to that effect.
There was little betting on the
race last night as Sullivan seemed to
be the general favorite. One sport
wagered two dollars on Hayes, con-
trary to the advice Of a friend, and
will have to do without tobacco for a
few days as the result.

FITZPATRICK Forced
into ATHLETICS
BY HIS FATHER.

John Reid Fitzpatrick, Yale's famous
football player and all around athlete,
may thank his father for helping him
to win the many honors that have
fallen to him during his time at Yale.
Perhaps had It not been for the care
full supervision of 'Reidle's" early ath-
ietic training and his fathers persist
ence that he devote much time to ath-
letic exercise he would have
made the great reputation that is now
his.
When "Kil' Tor "Reidie." as he Is
known to his intimate friends) was six
years old his father sent him to the
N. Y. A. C. as a Junior member. He
insisted that the y%oungster must have
physical training. Young Fitzpatrick
didn't care for that line Of stuff. but
his father insisted upon it.
Fitzpatrick was never ORGANIZATIONS
to be known as an athlete" said one of
his boyhood friends, 'but his father
kept him at it up TO the very time that
XIII entered Yale"
Compulsory athletic training, at least
in Kilpatrick's case, developed u of
the greatest gridiron heroes we have
ever produced.
