Probably Mr.. Wickersham does
not aspire to be known as a humor-
list, but he may win such a reputa-
ton in spite of himself. II there
is anything funnier than his recent
request" of the court which is de-
maturing the tobacco trust we do
not recall it. He asks the court, in
effect, to tie stout string to its
arrangement with the trust, so that
the government can butt In at any
time during the next five years and
compel further changes If the plan
now being arranged does not destroy
the octopus and restore competition.
The court, as might be expected, de-
clines the proposition. But the sug-
gestion clearly shows that the gov
eminent shares the apprehension felt
BY perhaps three out of every four
plain voters. that the policy agreed
upon is not sure to restore competi-
ton. 1t Is a significant admission.

II u q real need Of this section
that the Golden Belt Road associa-
ton has been organized to meet and
1t was expressed admirably By q
speaker at Manhattan who told OF a
motor trip he had taken In Colorado,
having gone by the Santa Re trail
and returned by the proposed Gold
en- Belt route.
Thousands Of tourists" he said
were going over the trail and few
were using the northern route. The
latter is better but not 80 we'll known
on account of the advertising the
Trail has been receiving"
Wider publicity is one Of the OBJ
jects in the marking Of the new
route and the manner in which the
organization has been taken up prom
ises that this feature will not be
overlooked. With the marking of
the route accomplished, the improve
ment of the roadbed will speedily
follow and the official recognition
by the "Blue Book" cannot be de-
MED. Such recognition, with the
publicity which every live newspa-
per along the route will give it, will
make the Golden Belt road favor
ite with the tourists.-Salina Jour-

FARMERS INSTITUTES TO
BE AT HOPE AND WOODBINE.

The farmers institute season IL
on again and as usual Kansas farm
ers are planning lot Of meetings
In this state the Agricultural Col
lege directs the farmers institutes
and suggests subjects for the pro-
gram, usually in line with the doc
.rine and policy of the college. In
in Kansas the institutes are always
elementary agricultural school and
in Kansas the institutes are always
attended by the most progressive
farmers of the community. The
state has now nearly $50 organiza-
tions, with a membership Of nearly
$4,000 farmers. The farmers in
stitutes in Kansas are not only ele-
mentary schools, but they are in a
way, business conferences of the
best farmers of the community to
find out the best ways of doing
things. The Agricultural College
helps by dating the meetings and
sending two speakers to assist with
the program.
There will be farmers institute
meetings at Hope December Is and
at Woodbine on Saturday, December
IS. Good programs have been pre-
pared and profitable meetings are
expected. The speakers for the
Agricultural college will be Geo. S.
Hine, who will talk on some phase
of farm dairying, and W. S. Gear
hart, state engineer, to talk on road
improvement. These are very i'm
portant subjects for this part of the
state. Local speakers have various
other subjects on the program and
each meeting will begin promptly
at 10 o'clock. Every farmer is urgH
ed. to bring some samples of corn,
apples and potatoes for the exhibit.
In many towns in Kansas all stores
and business houses close for the
entire afternoon when the farmers
Institute is being held.

vANDFRGRIFT, HISTORIAN.

KanSaS needs one book Of history
"a political story Of the past thirty
years, the most interesting period
in the record Of any commonwealth
Of the Union.
Just one man 10 qualified to write
it-F. L. vandegrift. Hidden away
in his big brain Ia the inside story
Of the happenings Of Kansas politics
No other man living has been sc
close to the makers of history
knows 80 well the incidents that
have nodded the state government
His ability as a forceful writer, his
vivid pidturing of everything OF
which he writes, his lovable good
nature, which has made him the
friend and confident of every leading
politician from the time of ingalls,
to the present, equip him to record
this states political story.
For years the representative Of
the Kansas City Star at Topeka, he
was brought into close association
with every campaign and between
times he entered into the life Of the
government. often-times by his own
suggestions shaping large events
though the world knew nothing Of
It. It would surprise many to real
lie how much Mr.. Vandegrift had
to do with the making and unmak-
ing Of Kansas statesmen. He Is a
bigger man than many of the states
men he has elevated and could have
filled their places better than they
did themselves.
Added to this intimate knowledg;
Vandegrift knows how to write-no
one better In the country-and he
could put all this history into a
thrilling story. His wide familiar
lty with the entire southwest, which
he knows with the knowledge of
direct touch, enables him to give
the right perspective, so important
In any work that deals with the do
ngs of men. What Blaine and Ben
ION were to a larger field, Vande-
yrift is to the field of Kansas poll
lies. With such abundant fund OF
and with such vividness
If literary skill he would make a
,ook worth while. In its pages
would live again ingalls,, and Plumb
md Lewelllng and Hudson and Har-
is and host of others now living
# passed away-and the doings Of
heir times would be told so that
lansas would cherish and enjoy the
olume.
Kansas has produced no better
ritter than F. L. Vandegrift-"Van"
s his friends love to call him-and
J proud of his record and ability. He
ives 1t to the state to write a book.
