FIFTY YEARS AFTER

Fifty years ago today Lee sur
rendered and the greatest war in
our nations history ended. The
splendid army that preserved the
nation went home to farm, and forge
and factory and began an era OF
prosperity such as the world has
never known. And looking back on
the half century It is seen that the
veterans OF that war have been the
nucleus OF our nations advancement
in peace as they were its refuge in
war. So today the soldiers of 1865
deserve all this nation can give them
that their declining days, now few,
may be crowned with honor and
respect and that they may have the
comfort and happiness this country
richly owes them.

HELP THE BELGIANs AGAIN

Kansas stands seventh on the list
among the American rontributors
to the relief OF the Belgians. Only
three states, by themselves. are
ahead of her, New York, California
and Pennsylvania. Virginia and
neighboring states are grouped and
given the next place ahead OF Kan
sas. And the other agencies that
did better than Kansas are the
Rockefeller foundation and the
Northwestern Millers' association.
This is q good showing for Kansas
but nothing better than she should
have done. Nor is II all she should
do. Man for man, the people OF
Kansas are better off than are those
OF any other American common
wealth. Becadse of their agricultur-
al activities, and the fact that they
we're favored with big crops last
year, they have continued to enjoy
a larger measure of prosperity than
has been the portion Of the bulk OF
the people in this country during
the past year or so. More than that
the prospects for big crops this
year with remunerative prices are
excellent. So the good times in Kan
sas are likely to continue. There
fore. Kansas should respond again
to the Belgians' needs. And the re-
spouse should not be limited to the
special Easter offering in the
churches for this purpose. This
offering should be a big one, but
Kansans can afford to do more

THE RESULTS OF ECONOMY

1914 was q year Of economy on
the part of a vast majority of the
people. The hard times in the first
half of the year following other
years of depressed business, caused
considerable individual retrench-
ment, but it was not widespread and
universal then. It required the out
break Of war to bring about the
latter state of things. At once peo-
pie began really to save money
not only people of moderate means,
but the rich and the very rich i'm
started on a career of
the rigorous scrutiny of every ex-
penditure and heroic cutting off of
spending in every direction. The
1t became the fashion TO
stint outlay, it was easy to fall in
line. Everybody did it because ev-
erybody's neighbors and associates
we're setting the example.
The result of this countrywide
has been the accumula-
ion of vast sums in the aggregate,
Ind this is shown by the swelling
,ank and savings bank deposits all
'ver the United States. People we're
to learn how easy it was
o save money when competition in
pending it, which makes us the
most extravagant nation in the
world, stopped.

The new election expenses law
requires newspaper men when they
run for office, to charge up against
themselves as part of their ex-
penses, all the notices which they
run in their own paper boosting
their candidacy. Ought not the law
to compel owners Of automobiles to
charge up against their expense al
lowance the regular auto hire when
they use their own automobiles on
election day or in campaigning?

ated against?-Clay Center Times.

Twenty years ago lad went from
one of the border states to New
York, hoping to earn enough to pay
his way. Recently he retired from
business at the age Of forty-two,
giving as his reason for doing so
that he had made money enough,
about three million dollars. A lit
tile later, another who had gained
success in a business life of less than
twenty years, retired on his fiftieth
birthday, stating that he had &C

ficient fortune-a fortune which
others estimate at five millions.

A BOOK ON COOPERATION

A most interesting and helpful
handbook on Cooperation" has
been written by w. c. Lansdon, for
merly Of the University Of Kansas
and no managing editor of the
Salina Union. 1t is a thoughtful
study of the history of cooperative
societies from the time of the
Rochdale Pioneers in 1874 to the
present and covers the records made
by Denmark and England. 1t is sur
prising to learn that the latter
country has cooperative concern
with share capital of $4,000, 900
and which does a business through
its stores of $135,O00,0 900 annually.
This and other European compan-
les have made their success through
selling strictly for cash and return
ing the profits, less overhead ex-
pense, to the shareholders. Prob
ably the congested population and
the limitations set on the business

remarkable progress.
In the opinion of Mr.. Lansdon the
American farmer needs cooperation
to secure for him the benefits to
which he is entitled. He believes
that the cost of marketing is alto
gether too great and that with prop
er effort the farmer could secure
from his products a much higher
price while the consumer would be
benefited through lessened cost.
But he is frank to say that cooper
alton is not q thing to be entered
into without careful study Of local
conditions. In some sections 1t would
not be profitable; in some lines of
business 1t Is doubtful II 1t could
be made to succeed; but he does
argue that in the marketing of
grain there is an especial opportun-
ity for cooperative effort while
there may be conducted along with
the elevators purchasing depart
ments for securing some commodi-
ties that the farmer must have.
While these things are doubtless
true, the fact is that tho earlier eff
forts Of Kansas farmers to handle
their business comparatively were
mostly failures. OF late years they
have learned the lesson that Mr..
Lansdon emphasizes; that they must
hire first class men to manage their |
companies and do business along !
business lines. They must trust I
their concerns to trained men and
not to promoters or politicians. Then
there is an opportunity to win-and
the success Of later years has come !,
in that way.
The book contains a model con-
stitution and bylaws for a cooper
ative company and the Kansas stat
ute governing such organizations.

lima for % cents-and is worth it.

actions of the chairman, Mr.. Frank

largely destroyed that possibility.

Business is hampered and bound
around with thousands of restrictive
laws. Senator Root has had a count
made Of the number Of laws passed
by congress and the state legisla-
lures in the five years up to De-
cember 1, 1918, and they foot up
sixty-two thousand. And in the
same period there have been re-
gistered decisions Of courts of last
resort to the number Of sixty-five
thousand. How, asks Senator Root,
Is any one to know them all? How

POOR BUSINESS

No congress has done worse than
the last one. On March 10 the ex-
cess of ordinary expenditures over
ordinary revenues was $S6,269,000.
Compared with last year the treas
ury has been running behind ST.
100000 a month. Notwithstanding
the income tax expected to be $751;
100000 and the emergency revenue
taxation to the amount of $54,O00,-
600, by June 80, in one year the
Democratic administration will have
set the country back $4,000, 900.
And 1t looks worse for 1876.
Congress has ignored the outlook
for customs receipts adversely af-
fected by the war, and in May, 1916,
sugar goes on the free list, de-
creasing revenues several millions
further.
Any government with a thought
of prudent management would have
shortened sail in a great economic
crisis like that wrich the European
war has precipitated. 1t would have
held down expenditure till the sit
uation had cleared. But the Demo-
cratic majority in the legislative
branch, SO subservient to Mr.. will
son in most things, never even re-
ceived a hint from him that re-
trenchment ought to be practiced.
He made no protest when this
congress appropriated $113,OOO,OOO
more than the preceding congress
did and $177,O0O,000 more than did
the congress of 1sO9-11, which was
by the Republicans. More
than that, he submitted estimates
which, If honored, would have in
creased the appropriations of the
last session by $47,S41,000. But
heres only two years more!

DICKINSON COUNTY FARMERS
MIGHT TRY THIS METHOD

Manhattan, April 1S.-Several
million dollars could be saved an
nually in the state If hog cholera
were stamped out by proper immuE-
ization. Not only would the proper
ton of disease among the animals
be greatly reduced, says DR.. F. S.
Schoenleber, professor Of veterin-
airy medicine in the agricultural
college, but the state would almost
double the number of hogs kept on
farms.
In the Silver Lake district, eight
miles from Topeka, in region 5x9
miles every owner of hogs had them
vaccinated. There has been but one
outbreak of cholera there and this
was found in hogs that had been
shipped in and were not treated
soon enough. The outbreak was
promptly stopped.
Similar work is being planned in
Linn county. In the plan adopted in
these places, all the farmers agree
to have their hogs immunized. The
college sends a specialist to vacci-
nate the animals, paying salary and
railroad fare. The farmers pay for
the serum at the rate of LIZ cents
a cubic centimeter and also cover
the mans expenses while he is on

President Wilson has formally &C

Arlington this year. His acceptance
recalls the unpleasantness which
preceded the exercises last year.
President Wilson first declined an

of the pressure of business, but
when it became known that he had
accepted an invitation to speak be-
fore the confederate veterans, SEN

The plan Of the city commission
ers to oil certain dirt streets is one
