Have not Christians in general over

that the chief work Of the ministers

lively lille feeding Is being done? On
the contrary. the thought usually re
ceired by new converts is, Now you
are saved, go. etHReell2e. and bring
others to Ch.is,-especIally bring
money, for with r:erty of 1t we can
convert the world.
The advice to'st Peter should be

SANTA FE AND COOP ROADS.


The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
railway company will cooperate with
good roads associations in any feasi-
BILE plan for the Improvement OF the
highways in the territory through
which It's lines are operated. The
Santa Fe always has been ready to
respond TO every organized move
ment for good roads. because good
roads are next to good crops in the
railroad traffic mans calculations.
Good roads mean bigger and better
crops. for the farmer who hauls his
produce TO market over good roads
has more time TO devote 10 his crops
than he would II the roads were bad.
The bigger the crops, the heavier
the railroad traffic. Transportation
being all that the railroad has to
sell, the Santa Fe looks with favor
upon any movement that tends to
increase traffic, as a business propo-
sition pure and simple. The Santa
Fe, therefore. is friendly to the good
roads movement. viewing the situa-
ton from the standpoint of the dol
lar.
But there is another viewpoint
from which the Santa Fe sees the
case. The system Of railroads owned
by the Santa Fe, operates in IL states
embracing a great empire from the
Great Lakes to the Guf of Mexico
on the south and the Pacific ocean
on the west. 1t is an agricultural
territory. generally, most OF the
states being in the course OF develop
ment. The Santa Fe is for anything
that builds up and beauties the
lands traversed by its lines, and no
community can turn out a better ad-
vertisement of It's progressiveness
and civic pride than a system OF
good roads.
A good road in front OF farm
/ means good fences, we'll cultivated
fields, high grade stock, nice house
and barn, orchard, etc. These things
go together. Good roads everywhere
mean good farms everywhere and
that spells increased prosperity and
happiness for the farmer and his
family, and increased prosperity for
the country st large.

PROGRESS IN CHINA.

Clearly China is progressing IN
some respects, whatever may be true
NJ others. Had the revolution oc-
Cured a few years ago, foreigners
would have been butchered right and
Left as barbarously as were the mis-
sionaries in the Boxer uprising. But
tins far no foreigner has been mo-
Tested. Whether 1t is because the
reyoluAionists merely fear interven-
tion and hence avoid the one thing
lacking to bring Il about, or whetn-
er they have moved up a peg on the
ladder of civilization, cannot now De
determined. But the craftsmanship
manifested in such control of the fan
atics is beyond question. Let us not
be too inquisitive as to the motive.
Another sign Of PROCESS in China
ia the proposition to simplify the
language and adopt English as a
subsidiary tongue. 1t has long been
believed by linguists that English
must eventually become q world
.neuage. difficulty Of learning
20 Chinese and Japanese tongues
has long been an almost insurmount-
able barrier to trade and general
intercourse between these countries
and the nations of the west. Voia-
puk, Esperanto and the other socall-
ed universal languages may serve
the ends Of business, but they can no
further. English has no such limi-
tations. 1t is inconceivable that any
nation can attain high rank in among
its sisters SO long as It uses only
an Geographic language. The adop-
ton OF English, even as subsidiary
tongue, by either nation would be
more significant event than the
Russo-Japanese war or the Chinese
rebellion.

HOW no BE A REACTIoNARY.

What is a progressive? Woodrow
Wilson says now that the Demo-
cratic party is one great family of
progreesives. All Democrats are pro-
gressives. That would appear to in
clude Senator Joe Bailey, Governor
Harmon, all the unhappy band OF
Wall street Democrats who bitterly
fought Roosevelt and are exceedingly
angry with Taft, and all the re-
dictionary Democrats of the United
States senate. 1t is an elastic def
milton that makes progressives OF
such Democrats. But Professor Will
SON has an elastic mind. Yet we
wonder IL he would have included
Grover Cleveland in his happy fam
lily of down-to-date progressives. To
be sure, this distinguished Democrat
amply fulfilled the Wilson ideal OF
great statesman a few years ago;
but that was Wilson, the historian.
In many things nowadays Wilson
has a severe view of the easy-going
attitude Of the former college pro-
lessor on matters of current social
and economic interest.
For example, Professor Wilson elo-
quently eulogizes President Cleve-
land in his history OF the United
states for his courageous fight
against free silver and for his dis
patch Of troops to Illinois to sup
press the strikers. Yet it stretches
the creduIity somewhat to regard
Mr.. Cleveland as a progressive.
If he was q progressive what il
Bryan, or Gore. or Champ Clark, OF
Hearst, or Wilson?

siye would give q faithful picture
OF himself.

from the institution. The papers
are saying that his young wife was
"extravagant" and he stole to keep
up with Lizzie"
He married country girl -FOUR

her a good home. They gave parties

she did spend a few hundred dol
lars on gowns and parties, what was
he doing? Among his accomplish
merts was belonging to three clubs,
playing poker, entertaining other
women and having high old lark

1t on the woman.
If the men were half as willing
to save as are the women, If they
gave half the thought TO keeping
within their income, there would be
less trouble in this world. In this
recent story it is stated that she
thought her husband rich" Why
did he not tell her just what he was
earning? Then she would have
helped him live within his means.
This blaming it on the woman" is
altogether too common when the
truth is that the man himself is the
guilty party. It would be relief
to see some defauIter own up and
take the blame on his own should

The wichita Beacon makes this
striking argument on the Inheritance
tax's injustice: There should be no
tax on estates left to the wife and
children. At least not until those
estates reach large proportions.
Let us look into this last claim OF
the tax commission. Suppose man
leaves his widow a home worth
$4,000 and stocks and bonds worth
$50. 900. The stocks and bonds are
out OF the state In q vault In Kansas
city for instance. The probate court
takes the will and approves but In
forms the widow, or her administra-
tor. IL there be one, that tax OF
Il 900 more or less, is due the state
ma an Inheritance tax. The widow
resists payment. knowing that her
children will need the money for
their education. The abstracter Is
told that he must indicate on the
abstract when the widow would sell
her home, that there is a lien OF
81 900 upon the realty
II the husband we're alive and rail-
ed to pay an assessed tax on those
bonds and his home, the county
could sell the home for the tax levied
against It, but 1t could not take the
home for the tax on the personal
property.
Isn't It clear that the widows home
should be liable only for the inherit
ance tax upon its value?
Does death mean that the widow
shall be forced TO do something
which cannot be done to her living
husband?
That instruction to the abstraceei
is a rank injustice.

ANpY,s ouEER TRsrnoNY.

There are some surprising state
ments in Mr. Carnegies testimony
before the congressional committee
charged with the investigation OF the
steel trust. The canny Scot told the
committee that before the organiza-
ton OF the United States Steel Cor
poratlon he owned 81 per cent OF
the stock OF the Carnegie Steel Co..
but that he held no office and had
no active part in. the management
of the business. He knew his conf
pany was in a pool or price agree
ment, but his high-priced lawyers
lever discussed with him the cues
ton whether this agreement was In
violation OF the Sherman anti-trust
act or any other law. He had heard
of the Sherman act, but supposed
Il had reference only to railroads.
He did not learn till many years had
passed that the Sherman act forbade
such trust arrangements as his COM
pany had been a party to almost
from the time when the Carnegie
company first became a power In
the steel business. All this is strange
testimony from a man shrewd enough
to accumulate four hundred million
dollars in a business career OF only
twenty-five or thirty years, and 1t
Is fortunate for his fellow citiz ms
that they cannot be put In jail for
thinking that Mr.. Carnegie Is max
ing pretty strong demands upon both
their credulity and their patience.

FARMERS TO Be ASSISTED
AN AGRICULTURAL EXPERT IN
EACH COUNTY PLANNED.
Bill Of Great interest to Workers In
the Soil introduced In
House.

Washington, Jan. ia bill OF
great import has been introduced In
the house of representatives by Repre-
sentative Lever of South Carolina,
and in the senate jointly by Senators
Hoke Smith and Page. The bill pro-
vides for the further endowment and
support of agricultural colleges to en-
able them to assist In getting into
practice the best methods Of agricul-
ture.
This measure is the Joint work OF
the National Soil Fertility league, the
executive committee Of the colleges
of agriculture and the statesmen
above named. It is in line with the
presidents recommendation in his adj
dress at the National Conservation
congress at Kansas City, September
25, 1911, it has the support OF the
house leaders Of both parties, and 1t
may be regarded as an omni-partisan
measure. In plain terms, 1t will as
rapidly as possible, place a trained,
practical man, selected and directed
ny LuC IOSpOCIANC bbAIC
colleges, permanently in each agricul-
tural county of the United States, and
enables the farmer to become master
OF his calling aided by the best SER
vices the country can furnish, ana
supported by federal and state funds.
According to the provisions of the
bill there win be an appropriation be-
ginning at the rate Of less than one
cent per capita and that will approx
innate three cents per capita BY the
time the annual appropriation shall
have increased from 100000 per year,
the starting point, to little over
three million dollars. when It reaches
the maximum. Each state receiving
fits share Of the fund must appropri-
ate an equal amount for this purpose,
