Kansas City line, the company has al
ready carried to and won in the SUI
preme court test cases. which gave it
the power of condemning a right of
way under the Eminent domain law as
a means of entering and leaving ST.
Louis. The company expects to COM
pIete the preliminary surveys for all
it's Missouri valley lines this spring.
Representative Mckinley plans to
connect his system already operating
the largest single interurban interest
in the United States, with the Missouri
valley projects now in the process of
construction or promotion.
He already has spent many thousands
of dollars in surveys and obtaining key
note positions for his proposed west
ern system.
Strang Says Deal Is On.
New York, Jan GOV. B. Strang
was told about the report from Kan
sas City that the Mckinley interests
had purchased the Strang line and of
the proposal to go ahead with extern
sions to Topeka by way of Lawrence
THAT'S not quite ready for publica-
ton now" he said, although will say
that negotiations are under way for ex-
tensions The Strang line now under
operation from Kansas City to Olathe
is not for sale. We are getting ready
to make extensions not only to Tope-
q.
also to Paola. We expect to connect
at Paola with the Helm line, which is
proposing extensions north from Pitts
burg through Fort Scott. l am now at
work on the financing of these plans.
We would of course, be glad to have
the cooperation of the Mckinley peo-
nile or ANYBODY else in this enterprise.
The present Strang line will not be
sold, but will be operated under sort
of a traffic agreement with any of these
other lines. To the public using the
lines however, it would be the same
as if it were all one line. The differ
ence in ownership would be a mere
matter of bookkeeping.
in New York of w. B. Mckinley at this
time had anything to do with the plan.
Mr.. Mckinley is at the Hotel Astor and
Mr.. Strang at the Waldorf.

THAT I cannot say" answered Mr..
Strang. st came to New York this
time for a two weeks stay and shall
remain here at least that long. My
visit is to arrange for financing our
independent plans for extensions, and,
of course, we will be glad to take adj
vantage of any favorable proposition
but right now there is nothing definite
to give out.

WOODROW WILSON TO KANsANs
Governor of New jersey Calls States
Fighting Spirit an Asset.

New York, Jan. 3O.-At the dinner
of the Kansas Society of New York
Gov. woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
inquired into the meaning and justi-
fication of the genus, Kansas radical.
Kansas" he said, has the repu-
tation of being a radical state. I have
been trying to find out what the word
cided that radical man is a man who
goes too far, a conservative, one who
does not go far enough, while reac-
tionary is a man who can not go at all.
Along the same lines one would de-
fine progressive as a man who in the
first place recognizes new facts as they
arise and then tries to meet them-a
man who legislates for 1911 instead of
for 1910"
The fighting spirit of Kansas Doc
tor Wilson looked on as an important
asset in the new order political.
Among the other speakers were
Hamilton w Mabie, associate editor of
the outlook, who spoke on the topic,
ga Word for New York" L. H.
Pounds, commissioner of public works
of the Borough of Brooklyn, had as his
topic, kansas Qualities"
James H. Scarr of the United States
weather bureau for the district of New
York, spoke on kansas Breezes."
Hon. Thos. Berridge, former member
of the parliament of England, made a
very happy address on America and
England
The members presented to the Sec
rotary NJ P. Gould, a loving cup in
appreciation of his services since the
founding of the society. The banquet
was largely attended. Greetings were
read from Kansas societies in Topeka,
Kan, Denver, Colo, Los Angeles, Cal,
and Chicago

GRAIN UNABLE TO PAY MORE.
Because Jury Believed That to Be
Fact Verdict Was $4,000.

Ottawa, Kan. Jan. 30.-The mere
fact that the members of the jury
feared that Professor Grant H. Grain
was not able to pay the amount was
all that kept the verdict in the suit of
Miss Ethel Mckee against the Ottawa
professor from being $4,000 instead
of $4,000. So said a juryman in dis
cussing the case as it appeared to
them.
There were five of US that held out
for $4,000 and we would have stuck
it out had the others not argued that
Professor Grain could not pay the
amount. We thought the girl deserved
0,000.''

Neglected Professions.

Why do so few young men in the
United States educate themselves to be
scientific farmers?
Although there We're 10, 3Sl, 765 agri- =
cultural workers in the United States
in 1909. only POS persons took college
degrees in agriculture that year.
The report of the U. S. commissioner
of education shows that the total num-
Der of graduates in 1909 from universi-
ties, colleges and technical schools was
$4,000. OF these more than 1000
were bachelors of arts. Bachelors of
science numbered over 5000; law schools
turned out 1856 graduates; the medi-
cal schools conferred the degree of
doctor Of medicine on 4.504, and the
dentist graduates numbered l,767.
1t is generally conceded that the
number OF doctors in the United States
is almost twice as great as can support
themselves satisfactory by the practice
of medicine.
In 1909 there were 1O,5S1 architects
in the United States and the number of
men who took degrees in architecture
was only fourteen.
!. These figures would seem to indicate
that college men are not devoting
enough time to studying the demands
made upon universities by the public.
At the University Of Iowa a course Of
lectures on vocational subjects was in
augurated recently for the purpose of
enabling students to decide what t, ey
should undertake as lite work. Prom
inent lawyers, doctors, educators, ag
riculturists, editors. bankers and busf
ness men were induced to address the
students with view to giving them a
better idea of what the opportunities
are for young men and women in the
different professions.
This is q step in the right direction
But it can be made more effective by
compiling careful statistics which will
show absolutely what the opportunities
are in various lines of activity. Young
students often approach commencement
day without deciding what kind of q
career they will follow. In many cases
students have no particular bent. FIRE.

Carriers Fourth Cong'l District.

1t seems necessary that we give some
of our reasons in advance of our Ack-
erman convention for advocating NOV
ing the convicts from the state farms.
We ask three question: How much
does it cost to move convict from a
county site in the Fourth district to
Parchman? How many bales of cot
ton per head was raised last year on
these farms? 3 Did the cotton raised
have any effect on the market during
season?
Our reasons for moving them is to
get them out of competition with the
cotton farmers and at something else,
preferably on the public highways.
By building good roads farm values
will increase one to two hundred pei
cent; tn. values will be permanent and
beneficial to all the people, when, by
raising cot1Du, nothing is added to the
value Of the state only the local in
crease in the state farms and the little
revenue derived therefrom.
Georgia and Virginia have passed
through the experimental stage, fol-
lowed by Florida, in working success
fully convicts on their highways.
But if it is unwise to move them, put
them where their products will moi
come in comp.tition with the farmers.
Let them Rake shoes, brooms, etc.
and raise such articles of food as we
now buy for these eighteen hundred
convicts and about the same number OF
inmates in the two insane asylums, and
other state wards.
We are told these farms cleared one
hundred thousand dollars last year.
Well, that is only five dollars per head,
and what does the state profit if the
money goes for something that coulc
! be raised on her own premises.
i We do not wish to be misunderstood
When these farms were purchased. il
seemed the thing to do, and the wisdom
Of the transaction can be seen in Z
