The. last speech made by ' Mr. ' Bryan indicated that there were other things on his mind . besides presidential nominations, and indeed 'seemed to j .j foreshadow,, what is now indicated ? by the telegram. that Mr. Bryan, realizing that the, eastern Democrats might never unite upon him, sought out and found a man worthy of the mantle and made ready to put it upon his 7; ' shoulders. v, It .very often happens in life that the. man .. vwho" blazes the way falls far short of, realizing'; the .'" choicest benefits from' his work. ; The pioneer in such new enterprises, particularly where he is obliged to' fly ' violently in the face of the settled convictions as well as the self interest of Jarge bodies of influential citizens, provokes antagonisms which can never be allayed. The end which he has in view is 11 that can daim his at tention; what intervenes cannot concern him if he would -press home the full force of his convictions. Therefore '.'fMr. Bryan .passed through two defeats. On the other Jhand the. last campaign made it perfectly dear that the jeastern wing not the party "Could "hope" for no success -while it espoused the ideas which animated it. If the 'last, campaign eliminated the flaccid political theories for which the eastern Democrats stood it is barely pos- 'sible that tb,e situation may ' call t for a new deal all around. Indeed the taore closely the matter is viewed the more reasonable does the conclusion' become and we have sufficient faith iVMr.'t'Bryan to believe that ; ",P50e realized the logic of such , a situation he-would , promptly act upon and loyally . further such an outcome. J In the whole range of possibilities there is no man Vbo so measures up to the standard as Governor Folk. .He is time-tried and fire-t esttd. v He made an unap proachable record as puhlio--proiecutor in St Louis and that he wo the -complete confidence of the people was ? ; 'TOajJi clear ly election as governor against the combined opposition of "the politicians. " He stands today as the TnEtorwhat"fi)est,, bravest and" most modern in .our public life and in alt respects he is a man of whom .the whole people without regard to party can be proud. THE PUBLIC PAYS TOO MUCH. , I NE. THINP csntiot .fail to occur to" those who read the testimony - of- Frederick 1 Cromwell, treasurer " of "the Mutual Life Insurance com- . , Pany before-the New York legislative committee. Mr. -: ; Cromwell igorotrsly ; defends the 'association of the company with, the various syndicates for the reason that in this way alone can they dispose of the tremendous accumulation of funds in their hands. When he became -. ; treasurer 20 years ago, the total assets of the company jwere $100,000,000;' the transactions jn his department .in a single year now amount to that jum. , la order to s'e vcure investments for this enormous amount of Inflowing money the company. is obliged to get into partnership 'with every syndicate which attempts to float bonds for this is the only way to get "ground floor prices. ; ; v The 'sort of relations which have existed between the insurance companies and .the syndicates have scarcely been on a basis to commend them to the good graces of .the policy-holders. Indeed of all those concerned they alone have had reason to complain for the officers of the company, have usually got the cream. if the policy-holders "got the skim milk.'- . .?: , ; .1; .;.;.-.-But why should, there be such enormous masses of 'money "accumulating in. the .- hands of - the, treasurer r There should be kept a -certain well defined proportion f money to insure safety, but beyond that is simpty"a 'source of temptation and weakness. x Why should not the price of insurance be; reduced to reasonable rates?

' The Denver Republican interestingly says, further; ' "Land on th average in the western half of Kansas which is suitable at alt to farming has increased in price not 25 or 50 but 100 and 200 per cent irt the last eight years.- In the eastern half of this state there! has been an appreciation ot land averaging probably 25 per cent in the same time, possibly 50 per cent .. No such increase, has occurred in this country, but that is due mpre t the fact that the homeseefcing excursions have not stopped here than to any other cause. "One of the greatest agencies in boom' ing eastern Kansas land is alfalfa, a crop that once it gets a good stand doubles the income-producinir value of land. It is a remarkable thing that notwithstanding the expansion of the alfalfa area in this state, consider aDiy more than doubled in five, years, alfalfa seed was never at so high a price as it is today. There are many eastern Kansas farmers whose income'trom alfalfacomi pares favorably with the income of beet or rrrieated land. In five years, from 1898 to 1903 the value of, the tame hay crop in Kansas increased by more than f our million dollars, mainly due to alfalfa. , The moral ol all which is: Get western land: irrigated . a .

ARM LANDS in the west are advancing in value , as the fertility of the ' soil Is discovered and utilized. It is estimated that the advances in farnf lands ro the middle and farther west in the last two years amount to from 25 to 50 per cent. ' u ' The Denver Republican remarks that "worn out lands that have, produced practically nothing for years fiae suddenly come into demand and find buyers in men" who interM to put them again under production." This is a significant -statement, worth studying a little. It shows "that men are farming better than they used to do. It 'shows, - what is even more interesting,' that ' western firmers sre becoming more intelligent than .those of the ast, or are better improving their opportMnitie.--'r--Irrigation is cutting a great figure in the west, and will do so more and more. The Republican says: "Colorado lands that two" years ago were selling at $40, $50 and $60 an acre, are now going at $100 and $125, and even as high as $250 has been paid frfr Greley -lands within the month. In these " sections sales -are restricted in number by the fact that even the higher prices fail to tempt many farmers into selling; they, say ;thatthey would not know . what else to invest their money in that would pay them such, good returns as do the farm., een at double the prices of two years ago." ': This' Statement applies - to large aggregate areas throughout the whole west. Alfalfa is a great agency : ; ' THE TARIFF ROBBERS .PUNCTURED. rP HE Pittsburg Times published !n the hotbedof . I ; protected graft says that the Republican party should go slowly in the matter of tariff reform. To quote it exactly, it says! "The Republican maioritv in the-next congress should go slowly about doing any thing that may put a stumbling block "in the path of progress- ana prosperity. i here is no real ' Republican demand for tariff revision. That cry comes from those who. have always been the enemies of the nrotective principle, or from others wh6, for purely selfish oiLpet? sonai reasons, wouia nxe to nave the system changed for JitlSUL.Q'n-aiaatag," " .

And there is Dalzell o( Pittsburg,' who never politically drew an honest breath, who stands prominently for the rob- oery ot tne masses tor. yie benefit of a few, who repre sents,, .ten or fifteen mn not at all the; thousands of tools who vote tor him every two years. -. Commenting on this false statement, the perspicuous Washington Post, although inclining to Republicanism, says: "-The great city of Pittsburg, with its enormous manufacturing interests, will be permitted to enjoy-the special and peculiar favor which congress, in 1677. leg- !.I.4.J 'i. .

No Pittsburg Republican newspaper could be expected to permit moral judgment to dominate local interest so far as to utter a word of protest against a policy . ;that confers an v immense gratuity upon thai city in particular and the state of Pennsylvania' generally. But if a Pittsburg paper, not withstanding the absence of anr necessity foe am-h a effort, insists on invoking an indefinite continuance of tbejavoritism out of which its city and state have reaped and are reaping an incalculably rich harvest, it ought to be practicable for that paper to avoid gross tnisrepre sentation. ,. .
