The Republican state convention of Kansas for 1904 has come and gone, and many were the expectancies of its coming, but very few were the surprises wrought by it. To-day the great republican party of Kansas finds itself in the hands of new leaders The old leaders have been vunquished by the mighty winds of public opinion put into execution at the state conventions which passed into Kansas history Wednesday night The work of the old or former leaders is well known, but what the work of the new or present leaders will be time must be the judge. While strife and contention was on feature of the convention yet there are none willing to assert that the results will not meet with success at the polls. At this convention the originalito of Kansas was again manifested. The convention and its works fully demonstrates that Kansas is the state where things are done. Once the Kansas people believe their rights are being curtailed, once the believe they are mistreated, then it is that the Kansan will rise up in his might and will dare strike the blow that he himself might be free. No people are more noble, none grander, none truer, none more firmer, none more charitable, none more human than in Kansas, the land where the spirit of human freedom was first inspired in Kansas, where calamities have been bred; in Kansas where statesmen, poets, financiers and scholars are reared, yes in Kansas, the land of the free and the home of the brave, another precedent; another marvel has been wrought—the nomination of Hon. E. W. Hoch of Marion for Governor by acclamation marks an unknown precedent in the history of politics. Aside from these thing there was little else of note. The remainder of the state officers were re nominated, all except T. T. Kelley, for state treasurer, by acclamation. Governor. E. W. Hoch ..... Marion Lieutenant Governor. D. J. Hanna .....

Anthropologically speaking consecration is to dedicate, and hallow some things by uniting, or sacramenting into or giving it over to the thing to which it is consecrated; or the object of its consecration. 1 Sam. 1-3. Samuel said unto Israel "If ye do return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away your strange gods, and Ashtoreth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord and serve him only? Thus the church is set apart from profane uses. Ye are the salt of the earth; ye are as a lighted city established on the mount of absolute faith; be ye holy as I am holy." The church is placed in conjunction with God as his habitation. Chosen generation, royal priesthood, peculiar nation. Men and women are consecrated to his service in the sanctuary and become united to God by special and specific ties or obligations. We are all consecrated to God in holy baptism, and by this consecration became pledged to his love and service. SACRAMENTING OF BAPTISM. Obedience unto the baptism of water is a public declaration that we have espoused the cause of Christ, and that our hearts are open to his grace and will, and that we will serve, honor and obey God. We by this act of obedience, enter into an agreement with Christ to renounce the devil and all his works; the vain pomp and glory of the world, with all covetous desires of the same, and the carnel desires of the flesh, and that we will not follow nor be led by them. We became hallowed and united to Christ and were made christians from being children of of wrath. By an act of consecration, therefore, something is added to us, either some new relation is entered into, or a closer affinity is brought about between us and the person to whom we have been voluntarily consecrated to. It stands to reason that when we deliberately and by free will consecrate ourselves to God, a relation is entered into with him that will be fruitful to us in effects and graces. These will be dependent in great measures upon the sincerity, the earnestness and love with which the consecration is made John 8-31-32-15-14. An act of consecration is, therefore, not a mere ceremony, but a gift which inspires an acceptance.

Patronage Solicited- morning of the 19th century, that all should consecrate yourselves to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not as though we had never been consecrated to him in baptism, and by many acts of personal dedication to his service, but I suggest this as a renewal of solemn homage, a fresh pledge of sincerity and devotion, a public act, in which all men without exception shall be invited to take part so far as they have the knowledge and will to do so. I am satisfied in believing that if men according to the best of their intelligence and will, will consecrate themselves to Jesus Christ, many and great graces and blessings will be poured out on christendom and upon human society. It is obvious, of course, that the majority of mankind has never even heard of Jesus Christ; that many who have deided his claim and rejected his authority and that there are multitudes even of Christians living in open rebellion against his sovereignty, as Sophis or Agnostics. Such names reject his love and brave the dangers of moral depravity of God, the Father. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for the remission of our sins." Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments." The com- ' UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. ' Braitsch's 120 E. Douglas Avenue.

To the Searchlight: Dear Editor—I thought I would write a few lines to your valua- ble paper. First—Because it is published by a colored man. Seconp—Because it is for the colored people. Tairp—Because it is needed by the colored people, and Fourtu—Because it should be in every colored home When we look back into his- tory afew years we find that the colored people were not allowed to read newspapers, and the thought of having the privilege of reading a newspaper publish- ed by a colored man was never dreamed. But suppose the Negroes of those days had been allowed to read newspapers and publish Negro newspapers do you think slavery would have lasted as long as it did? I say No!! It would have been impossible. Had they have been allowed to read Negro papers they would have better understood each other and human slavery weuld have long melted away. The only way by which we can have union and strength to-day is to understand each other, and the greatest way to understand each other is to read Negro journals The day has been far past when we should longer sleep and fail to improve our talents. We have some of the talents which were given to man, now let us take hold of ev- ery opportunity to improve them. We may goto school, but is that all? No! When we come out we |must take hold of thingsin this world to help the world to move on. If we plant a patch of corn and go away and not tend it we cannot expect a rich harvest, the seed would be wasted. It is with the good deeds, the improv- ment of every good thing for the race that will make us a great people, mighty and strong. We must take hold of every good project which tends to the bet- terment of our people and our race and help make ita success. There is nothing which can help the race more than a good, live up-to-date Negro paper publish- ed in every community, and we cannot have a good Negro paper unless we give it our whole sup- port. Itis the only medium by which the Negro can make his wants known. Throughout the press we have power, when we have no press we have no power. The Negro paners of to-day are man‘fully standing up for the race and the race question. Wichita has the good fortune to have one of these Negro jour- nals—The Wichita Searchlight— which is every day doing an he- roic workin the interest of our race. Let every colored person put his shoulder to the wheel and help make the Searchlight a great power among our people and help it to successfully play its part in the great race ques- tion of today. It is a glorious thing to be eupplied each week with the news of the race and can sit leisurely and read it from our own dine and fig tree. We have lived to see the Searchlight pass through five successful years of regular and constant publication in our city and she is still climbing. And it is the hope of all that 500 years will not be her limit as the good full of bright news items is to supply them.

EB, Woodsof Kingman is in the city, LIVE £70Ck Vi ney =C¥* & 44 Ne i Poe kere is os S tome Rerroductian of Quality. ‘It has been assumed that all goot aninsis had the power to reproduce im their offspring the good qualities Possessed ‘by themselves, under the operdtiovs of the general law that Vike produces like. But when we get down to statistics, it fs discovered that this theory cannot be entirely re’ ed upon in breeding operations. A careful compilation of figures goes to show that a very large number of an- mals of high quality are poorly pro- vided with ability to transmit such qualities to thelr offspring. But here and there are animais that, being high im quality, are able to. transmit the ‘quality for which thcy are noted to all their offspriag, or, at least, to a very large percentage of them. It therefore becomes necessary for the breeders of jive stock to discover which are the animals that will do this. ‘There have ben horses remarkable for speed that yet were unable to prodiice colts with like powers of speed, while now and then a speedy horse appears that can produce off spring with lixe powers as himself. ‘The same truth runs through all the breeds of live stock. The work of educating man along this line has just begun. The pedigrees of 34,000 race horses have been tabulated, and their get also investigated. Of these 24,000 trottoze, only a little over 100 ‘were able to produce numerous off spring having, speed “qualities. The difficulty with such an investigation is that the real value of a horse can not be knowt/ till he is dead. Thus, Hambietonian ‘Ten died, a cart horse in Kentueky, before the world had dis. ‘covered his wonderful ability to get speed in hic. offspring. Our stockiien are now ta’<ing ur the study in earnost and are making records of the get of various animals as to the qualities of such get. Thus im selecting a bull to head the Hol tein herd, the University of Minois selected one whose offspring and sisters and female relatives had proven good milkers. It was not enough that the animal himself bac the proper conformation. ‘The tendency of such an investiga tion is to put at the head of the flocks and herds mature animals. This is ¢ movement that can go on but slowly as it must require the labor of thou sands of men and must take years 0 time to arrive at a conclusion of mucl weight; but when once arrived at the conclusion is worth all it costs. 4 generation of this kind of labor i sure to greatly modify the live stoc! Andustry and develop it clong the mos jprepotent lines. ‘* Growth of Live Stock Associations. During the past ten years there has been a remarkable growth in the ‘number and influence of live stock as- eociations. Ten years ago there were few improved live stock breeders’ as- sociations, and what tnere were held conventions generally slimly attended. But new associations were organized in different states and the interest has steadily grown. The conventions have steadily increased in interest, ti!! now some. of them have taken on the as- ect of college courses of short dura- tion. The meat-cutting demonstra- tions have become prominent features and such demonstrations are attended by hundreds of people instead of by scores. The whole range of influence of the associations has been enlarged. As a result the chief factors in stock raising have been investigated as mnever before. Even things that were «sonsidered .as setiled are being again considered and the truth is being dis- covered. ‘There is a great tendeney io con- solidate these associations, or, at deast, to combine them into leagues along certain lines. As an example note the Mlinois Live Stock Breeders’ Association, which is composed of fout others devoted to the raising of cattle, hogs, ‘horses and sheep. Two great national associations were formed, but one went out of existence to Ieave a clear field to the other, which now includes over 100 live stock associations of various kinds. The growth of these associations has had a stimulating effect on the tive stock industry. The amount of light that has been let in on the dark places has made it very difficult for unreliable mca to do business in the rearing and selling of live stock. It has made it easier for the men that are honest and wish to do business in a way that meets the approval of their fellow-men. Such is always the result of Hight % > ‘These ussociations are certain to become more powerful from year to year and to mightily affect all phases oft the live stock industry. Every stockman should realize their benefit and ally himseif with some of them. By so doing he will get good and do good. Winter Pigs. ‘Why more winter pigs are not raised is explained by the general im- pression prevailing among hog rais- ers that wirtcr pigs do not.pay. This is due to the lack of equipment for the raising of winter pigs both as to the houses ‘in which they are to be Kept nd the food for their support. It is certain that if'a man would raise winter pigs he must plan for it long wefore the time ‘comes for breeding the sows for fall litters; for he must 4asure a-supply of nitrogenous feed to take the place of the green grass that the spring litters get. Winter pigs will pay when there are proper ‘arrangements for their care.

The Cobden club is knocked into a cocked hat, and the Anti-Cobden club of the Nineteenth ward—that pat- riotie band of intellectual political economists, should at théir next meet- ing make a minute of the subject. Im- portant as was the announcement of Premier Balfour, the official state- ments of the board of trade, which is a government institution, are much -more so. They announce that protec- tion does protect; that, in’spite of the fact that wages in this country are morg than double those in Great Brit- ain, the amount of exports of manufac- tured goods to this country has great- ly decreased, while our maaufactured exports to that country are increasing rapidly. ‘The same applies to all pro- tected ‘nations, so that Great Britain is declared to be in a disadvantageous position, especially as the, united States can, so soon as there. is a lull sn Tocal demand, flood Great Britain with goods at much lower rates. ‘The first duty.of a nation is to look after the welfare of its own citizens. That is what we have done. In estab- lishing protection we have not only accomplished all that the Republican “party ever claimed, but have confound- ed our opponents here and. abroad. “The British government officially an- nounces that our policy has been a “successful one and will be of great injury to its own people unless retalia- tory measures are taken, Which Is why we remark once more that we never expected in our day to see Great Britain, the apostle of free ‘trade, acknowledge its own defeat and our own success. What . will the ‘Democratic party 2ay to this in the ‘next campaign? It seems cruel that they are deprived of their only stock argument, Dut facts are necessarily cruel things when opposed to falla- clous theories.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Can the Democracy Get Richt? The Democratic party in Congress, under the leadership of Senator Gor- man, has engaged in systematic oppo- sition to the increase of the navy—to any increase of the navy. The Democrats admit that their pol- icy is futile. It is astonishing that they do rot see that it is also. suici- dally foolish. ‘The United States has a greater ex- tent of seacoast than. any other na- tion except the British empire. Furthermore; the United States ts pledged by its unvarying policy for three-quarters of a century, and by the firmest convictions of its people, to the maintenance of the Monroe Doc- trine, When the Monroe Doctrine 1s at- tacked, as it will be unless the Uhited States make itself so strong and ready that none will dare attack it, the at- tack will be made by sea power. To ward off such attack the United States must have sea power. Yet the United-States to-day ranks only fifth among the nations of the world in sea power. And of the four nations whose fleets surpass that of the United States three would gain greatly by breaking down the Monroe Doctrine, . These are the fundamental facts of the situation, These facts were never more widely appreciated by the Amer- ican people, nor were the consequences of @ failure In sea power ever more clearly understood, than they are to- day. Yet the.national Democracy, through its representatives in Congress, now ‘attack the sea power of the nation and seeks to prevent its growth. Under pretense of working for peace Demo- cratic Congressmen advocate a policy that would make war certain. ‘The question that forces itsel’ npon every thinking American is: Can the Democratic party ever prove itself worthy to rule this nation? Can the Democratic party ever get right?—Chicago Inter Ocean. PROSPERITY AND SAVINGS. Three Billion Dollars. ‘There is no such thing as real pros- perity in this country when the gen- eral public is short of surplus money. ‘There is no abatement of real prosper- ity when the general public goes on making money and saving some of it. ‘The speculative gambler may be roll- ing if wealth or ne may be absolutely poverty stricken, and neither the one condition nor the other reflects the situation of the general public and the country. Something that does, unfail- ingly and emphatically, is the total of the savings banks deposits—the sur- plus wealth of the general public. when we had “hard times” with the advent of the Wilson law, savings banks deposits first ceased to increase and then actually decreased. From 189 to 1894 they fell nearly $40,000,- 000, or to a total of $1,,747.961,000. By 1902 they had risen to $2,750,000,- 000. Controller Ridgley’s report showed that the total of the savings banks deposits is now. $2,935,204,845. From the experts who “went broke” in speculative excesses we hear that national prosperity turned downward in 1901, In that year the savings banks deposits were $2,597,000,000, so that since that time tonow there has been a gain of nearly $400,000,000. ‘This gain, since the “turn of prosper- ity," ia larger.thanthe gain from 1992 to 1808. It is as large as the gain from 1895 to 1899, larger than the gain from 1898 to 190, when the boom was indeed hooming, as.no one will deny. Nearly three billions of savings banks deposits to-day—nearly twice what we had in 1894—does not look as if the general public were yet quit of prosperity. Nor will it be, if this nation continues a policy which keeps our Industries protected against for- eign industries and our wage earners against foreign wage earners.—New Wark ren More Work for the. Poticeman: The Journal's prediction that the United States would soon have to ex- ercise police power over the semi- savage republics of San Domingo and Hayti is being swiftly fulfilled. A delayed cablegram from San Do mingo. says that marines from the Newark and Columbia have had a pitehed battle lasting three hours with the insurgents, who were routed with: out the loss of even one American life. The insurgents.began the trouble by firing on the launch of the Newark and on a commercial steamship owned in New York, Four hundred marines were promptly landed under cover. of thé guns of the Newark and the Co: lumbia, which shelled the insurgent camp; and they engaged the Domin. gans, who lost two of their generals Killed, one wounded, several officers captured, and sixteen men killed and wounded. . After inflicting this punishment the United States forces withdrew and the Newark sailed for Guantanamo. Evidently the situation in San Do mingo is becoming intolerable, The barbarian degenerates who inhabit that part of the island are only one de- gree better than the negroes who com- pose the population of Hayti. They are not fit to govern themselves, and they are becoming a menace to the peace of the whole Caribbean region. The United States can not long per. mit this state of affairs to continue al- most within hailing distance of its island possessions. Tt is bound by every consideration of selfish interest, as well as by every moral obligation to the family of nations, to put an end to it. We do not want the island of Hayti, but for the sake of our com: merce we must take suet police meas- ures there as will prevent any further disturbances. 5 It is a satire on our civilization that at our very doors one of the fairest and richest {islands of the sea Is be- come the prey of savages in perpetual riot, many of them sunk in supersti- tion and barbarism not found else- where on earth outside of the Austra- lian bush and the interior of darkest Africa.

By Western or Northwest Canada ts usually meant the great agriculteral country west of Ontario, and north of ‘Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon- tana. Part of it is agricultural prairie, treeless in places, park like in others, part is genuine plains, well adapted to cattle ranches; part requires irriga- tion for successful tillage, most of {t does not. The political divisions of this region are the Province of Mani- toba and the territorial district of As- sinibola, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Athabaska. At present, however, the latter is too remote for immediate practical purposes. ‘The general character of the soll of Western Canada is a rich, black, clay loam with a clay subsoil. Such a soil 4s particularly rich in food for the wheat plant. ‘The subsoil is a clay, which retains the winter frost until it is thawed out by the warm rays of the sun and drawn upward to stimu late the growth of the young wheat, so that even’ in dry seasons wheat 1s a good crop. The clay soil also retains the heat of the sun later in the sum- mer and assists in the early ripening of the grain, It is claimed that cul- tivation has the effect of increasing the temperature of the soil several degrees, as well as the air above it. Western Canada climate is good— cold in winter, hot in summer, but with cool nights. Violent storms of any kind are rare. The rainfall {s not heavy. It varies with places, but aver- ages about 17 inches. It falls usually at the time the growing crops need it. "The Department of the Interior, Ot tawa, Canada, has agents established ‘at different points throughout the ‘United States who will be pleased to forward an Atlas of Western Canada ‘and give such other information as to railway rate, etc., as may be required. ‘That agriculture in Western Canada pays {s shown by the number of testi- monials given by farmers. The fol lowing is an extract made from a let. ter from a farmer near Moose Jaw: “At the present time I own sixteen hundred acres of land, fifty horses and ‘a large pasture fenced containing a thousand acres. These horses run out all winter and come in in the spring quite fat, A man with money, judi clously expended will make a compe tence very shortly. I consider in the last six years the increase in the yalue of my land has netted me forty thousand dollars.” When Pneumonia Holds Sway.

A newspaper woman went out to a Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate and her experience with the food probably is worth recounting. “The woman at the ranch was pre- eminently the worst housekeeper I have ever known—poor soul, and poor me! “I simply \heg to have food good and plenty of it, for I nad broken down from overwork and was se weak I could not sit up over one hour at a time. I knew I could not get well un- less I secured food I could easily di gest and that would supply the great- est amount of nourishment. “One day I obtained permission to go through the pantry and see what I could find. Among other things I came across a package of Grape-Nuts which I had heard of but never tried. I read the description on the package and become deeply interested, so then and there I got @ saucer and some cream and tried the famous food. “Gt tasted delicious to me and seemed to freshen and strengthen me greatly so I stipulated that Grape- Nuts and cream be provided each day instead of other food, and I literally lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for two or three months. “If you could have seen how fast I got well it would have pleased and surprised you. I am now perfectly well and strong again and know ex- actly how I got weil and that was on Grape-Nuts that furnished me a pow- erful food I could digest and make use of. “It seems to me no brain worker can afford to overlook Grape-Nuts after my experience.” Name given by.

As the latter begins to traverse the barrel the coils are automatically thrown out of elrcuit one after another, by means of a set of cutouts actuated by the shell, in order that the coils may not exert any appreciable influence on the rear end of the shell as it passes. By the time the shell reaches the muz- rle of the gun it has been given a pull hy each of the eolls and has attained high velocity. eo eee i sina tah le ae The British Board of Trade has found out that the life of an average seaman is twenty-eight years.
