Farmers Holding Wheat.

According to grain buyers in North
Topeka the farmers over the state are
holding their wheat for higher prices.
The officials of the Inter-Lcean mills
reported a very heavy movement of
wheat until a few days ago, when it
suddenly stopped.
On account of the shortage of other
crops over the state it is only natural
that they should begin holding their
wheat" said a North Topeka grain
dealer this morning.

benefit Of the entire community is as
old as Christianity, but unfortunately
often lost sight of. 1t is based on the
fundamental teaching of the Master
that we are members one OF another,
and that If one member suffer. all the
members suffer with it. 1t is true
that this statement was made by the
Apostle Paul; but Paul simply put in
terms of his own daily life the spirit
and teachings of Him who met him
on the way to Damascus. Modern

Our Improving Land.

All the land in .he United States
just the bare land-is valued at some-
thing like 40 or so billion dollars.
Al. the improvements thereon, the
iarmhOuses and factories and sky
scrapers and railways. are probably
worth about as much more. The i'm
provements represent human toll and
thrift. the value of the land rep
resents simply human need--of food
and clothing. The value OF the bare
land is due solely to the pressure of
population, and not to what the own
ers have done upon it. The i'm
provements are perishable and OF a
steadily declining value. The land
value is imperishable and advances
steadily. In the last fifteen years the
land value has more than doubled,
In these same fifteen years the larger
part of what stood thereon factories
and buildings-has had to be re-
placed. The greater the amount of
the improvements, the greater the
value OF the bare land. Those
who made the lmprovemenls--that
is, the whole OF the population--pre-
sented to the owners OF the land
something like 20 or 30 billion dol
lars. The git was masked by the
fact that a very large part oi the i'm
provers were also the landowners.

NV Dear Kinloch:

Editor REPUBLICAN, Versailles. Mo.
My Dear Kinloch:
I have recently received a
copy of your paper and am glad that
you are still in the ring. and also
scrapping graft there as you did in
old Christian county, but my brother,
why don't you fight the fdusr of graft
and try to remove it. 1t would be
foolish for Drs. to vaccinate to stop
small pox and at the same time scat
ter small pox scabs all over the coun-
try? observe that under our high
state of civilization { y that there is
constant demand for more and more
appropriations to build additional jails
and penitent,aries, and those unfor-
tunates who enter their walls come
out embittered against organized So
ciety instead of being reformed.
Don't think for one moment that |
am an anarchist.
| want an organized society that
will prevent the mentally strong from
imposing on the mentally weak, as we
now try to have law to prevent the
physically strong from imposing on
the physically weak.
Remove the iAtrnnrr TO crime and
crime will to a great extent dissap-
pear.
know that the world usually cries
'Bosh' to such ideas. but less than
two hundred years ago our intelligent
(O ancestors burned Young, lovely
and innocent women for being
witches.
Later on it was taught IN this
country, and believed in some vet.
that Kings have a divine right to
rule" Still later on, in my boyhood
days, it was preached from the pulpit
that Slavery was a divine instltu-
tion," and within the memory OF mill
ions we oOeyed the trickster class by
voting that Gold is Gods money"
How much longer are the people
to be tricked by the Jesuit class, both
preachers and politicians, into voting
saddles on their own backs, and spurs
on the heels Of those who have always
ridden the common people?
Hoping that the next political adj
vance you make you will get further
than to follow such a paranoic as
Teddy, whose opinions are as change
able as the wind, and that you will
advance to the broader position that
will bind the whole world in iratern-
ity, in which all kindreds, nations
and tongues shall be bound together in
q boud OF universal Brotherhood.
beg to remain your friend,
