Judge Johnston has been a mem

OF the state. OF wide learning and
broad study, with q clear grasp Of

spect and confidence of Kansas
throughout his long service. Judge
Burch belongs to a younger genera

and his decisions have shown the

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

Having sold Ills Sterling Bulletin
and abandoned the newspaper bust
ness, ]. q. Junkin feels that he Ia
now in position to tell the people
lust how they should treat their
local paper and its editor. without
being accused Of having a selfish
purpose. He has written a "com-
munication" on how to make the
editor effective in which he says In
part:
"Remember. he Is q human being
with frailties like other people, al
though he generally has his natural
weaknesses under better control than
most men. Try to develop his sunny
side by Just as few criticisms as pos
sible and an occasional word OF
praise.
Encourage him in business way.
Figure how much your business can
afford to spend year for advertis-
ing and ask his cooperation In get
ting the best results. Don't greet
him with Take out my advertise
ment,' when he drops in to talk mat
tiers over with you. He may have
come with some valuable suggestion,
and hostility or indifference may de-
prive you OF his assistance.
HE can be made the community's
best asset. The newsnaper, more
than any other factor, has to do with
the towns welfare. 1t is bugle an
nouncing the dawn Of new enter
prises. 1t is a pack horse bearing
burdens when others are knocking
or sinking. 1t is the one force
that should always bring hopefulness.
No clouds should be without silver

the newspaper can and will do for
the town which will get behind IT,
Usually the careful business man
tries to keep his assets unimpaired'
A town should do the same-and
good newspaper is its best asset
"And In the name OF comrAaA
ylecency, don't talk about boycotting
Z uawer or starting a cut-throat OPP
position because the editor is passive
" or actively on the other side OF a
town fight. He won't amount 70

eiples and stand by them. Be proud
~ him, II he is a good clean fighter
even il he Is opposed to you. Then
n in his Judgment he sees no real

sometimes, to keep out Of fight

! all things as he is discerning. He
had no occasion to boast when he
made the remark quoted above. II
and other opinions camc In the course
| Of casual conversation with friend
about his trip. And as soon as he
| had spoken as indicated he amp'ified
the remark by continuing:
Considerable was heard out on
the coast about Kansas being IN the
throes of a drouth with everything
burning up and the state goi Z; to
the bow-wows. But / saw no cyl
dence to this effect as came across
the state on Sunday. To be sure It
was raining most of the way, Lut
that rain had not put the farms in
the generally good condition saw
them, But outside of the imme-
diate crop prospects, Kansas is dit-
ferent. The farm houses you see
from the car windows are palaces
to what you see elsewhere. The
towns and the cities are as clean
booking as the advertisements that
were built around 'spotless Towns
Even from the railroad stations all
of the Kansas towns, villages and
cities give every indication OF being
alive and prosperous places. Ars
decidedly different with the cities
and towns in the other states we
came through, with the exception,
of course, Of the big cities In south
ern California.
"And much Of this talk Of the
ease with which fortunes can be
made in farming and fruit growing
in California are the dreams Of the
men who have the land to sell. No
one will deny the fertility OF the
California valleys or of irrigated
lands there. But let me tell you
that this land costs money. -Four
and five and hundred dollars, ana
more, an acre is what the best OF
the fruit land brings and then much
money has to be spent on 1t to put
It into condition for fruit culture.
There there is the wait until the
trees mature sufficiently to bear.
This takes money and lots Of 1t. The
man who has enough capital to es-
tablish fruit farm, orange or lemon
or any kind, would do better and
save himself lot Of sleepless nights
by purchasing a ten to twenty acre
fruit farm that is already bearing
and delivering the goods. Nor Will
he roll up a big fortune for himself
ON such a farm. He'll be able to
make a fairly decent living. But
that's all. If there were tremendous
fortunes in such farms that are
yielding their fruit capacity, do you
suppose many of them would be for
sale? Certainly not. But you can
find plenty Of them on the market.
california Is wonderful coun-
try, all right, but it's mighty poor
place for any one who hasn't big
bank roll or plenty of capital behind
him. How different in this respect
Is Kansas!"

The Reflector has interviewed
many farmers on the feeling regard
ing Taft. The sentiment is almost
unanimous that the president never
was so strong in Kansas as he is
today. The people Of the state have
a hearty respect for his good sense,
his courage and his businesdlike
methods. Taft will carry Kansas by
a larger majority than in 1908.

long enough to give the Rock Island

There is no estimating the good that
