When the use of the mails is forbidden to any citizen without trial by jury, or a journal is debarred circulation on the edict of any . one individual without judicial . investiga tion of the right to do so, we are ap proaching rapidly an era of despotism of a new and more dangerous sort than our forefathers dreamed of. Pensacola (Fla.) Times- Communlt. n of Foreign PAiuillet Ha-e Bought Them Up Tnrongli AgentsEffect of Recent Snccesei In Wheat Growing Russians to the Fore In Western Kansas. A significant movement in settlement is taking place in connection with the development of prairie lands at the ex treme western part f this state and in Colorado, as well as in other parts of the western Mississippi ' valley, where cheap land is to be obtained, writes the special correspondent of the New York Post at, Abilene, Kan. This Is particularly true of colonies made up generally of foreign descended fam ilies, who are desirous of forming set tlements that shall be distinctly for their own people. Agents of the Ger man American settlements of Pennsyl vania and the similar population of Ohio and wrestern New York have made many trips to the prairie states to seek locations for the constantly overflowing numbers that must go out into the larger field and make homes. A committee of Quakers has been traveling up the Arkansas valley and has just purchased for the use of the members of that sect 5,000 acres in Prowers county, Colo., on which will be located 1,000 families. The lands they have chosen are on one of the large ditches where the level acres stretch away for miles in every direc tion and where the sugar beet can be raised in great abundance and rich ness. The Quakers have located sev eral colonies in the west in the last few years, some of which have been successful and some not. This attempt is based on a more substantial basis than some of the others. Only Quakers will be admitted, and they will come from Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. They expect to pay $40 an acre for their land, with an annual water assess ment of 40 to 50 cents an acre.' The ditches that supply the lands are 2G5 miles long and are fed from the Ar kansas river. Another colony lust located Is in Greer county, Okla., where 1,000 fami lies from Germany are to settle, each family getting forty acres. This land was bought through agents and is to be owned at the outset in common.' In western Kansas there is growing up a large colony of Russians, who are taking the wheat grounds and succeed admirably in ,, producing that cereal. They began coming in the early eight ies, and of late years their numbers have so increased that they are practi cally the possessors of two or three counties. They build churches that cost $20,000 each. The towns are closely built. The neighboring lands have been bought up by these people as fast as they could find the money until tlie prices have been raised to the highest known in the western part of the state since the boom times. Many are com ing from Europe at frequent intervals, and their friends here are buying land for them in advance of their arrival. The Dunkards. or River' Brethren, who are allied to the Quakers without being of their sect, are buying more land- steadily, taking, however, the higher priced farms of central Kansas. They are bringing many hundreds of immigrants out from the east to ex tend their colonies 'and are proving valuable citizens in that they have no paupers and scarcely a criminal. The colonists who have moved into Oklahoma during the last few months have had some difficulty in securing farms in a body. They have been more successful when buying up the cheap lands in the western parts. where the homesteaders are not so ea ger to locate. In the northwest, where the railroads have been behind the im migration movement, whole neighbor hoods in the middle states, such as Il linois. Iowa and Wisconsin, havp been transported to new homes. It is esti-. mated that 100,000 people have settled In the northwest since March 1 through the homeseekers' excursions. These excursions are becoming notable for the crowds they bring. The wheat successes have been re sponsible for a great deal of the pur chasing of land. Hundreds of sales have been made for the purpose of speculation all through the "wheat belt." which now extends Into what was once thought only fit for grazing. The lands that eastern investors once loaned money on then took through foreclosed mortgages and finally sold for a trifle or abandoned to go to the counties for the taxes are coming in the market. One western Kansas county held 250 quarter section farms, 100 acres each, that came to it in this way. For three years it has been trying to sell them for approximately $40 a quar ter section under tax title. Recently, owing to the demand for land, the farms have been withdrawn from the market and will either be redeemed by the orgina owners or will be soid to newcomers for larger prices. One spec ulator has just bought 50.000 acres for an immense wheat ranch in southwest Kansas. It is said that his, land cost him only $2.50 an acre. .

A Washingtonian who went walking a few; days ago out toward Bladens burg, heard a great tumult behind him, writes the Washington correspondent of the New York World. lie looked back and saw a cloud of dust. Out of the 'dust came a horse at a gallop, and on ' his back, bobbing up and down, was "Henry Cabot Lodge, senator from Massachusetts. The senator's teeth were set, his. hat was jammed down, and there was an I-expect-to-be-killed-but-ITl-do-it look on his face. Following him came a pretty, young woman, also od 'horseback, but riding gracefully. She was laughing at the senator. ' A few seconds later the presi dent of the United States burst into view rough rider hat on the back.f his head, eyeglasses dangling riding like a cowboy at a roundup. The horse was galloping at full speed, but the president was still urging him on with shouts of "Hi-yi-yi!" that could be heard above the clatter of the hoofs on .the hard road. The president's eyes sparkled with enjoyment, and he shouted with laughter between the "Hi-yi's." The three, pounded out of sight around a bend. They came back half an hoar later, now at a canter. The president was gesticulating with both hands and evidently poking fun at the Massachusetts senator. Lodge did not seem to mind. ' He had stayed on the horse.

Real purveyors of Christmas cheer may often find a market for their pre cious wares outside the pale of charity, for all homeless people are not neces sarily poor, and neither are all child less homes necessarily .unhappy. House keepers who are short on family hav ing friends, who are short on homes may combine these two lackings and make Christmas day a merry delight for the grown ups in spite of these un fortunate conditions. There is always something peculiarly pitiable in the idea of any one "flocking alone" which should appeal to the homemaker without a family, so that this should be the occasion for her to gather in all the bachelor maids and homeless men of her acquaintance and give ,theiri a. joyful opportunity to "flock; together," writes Mrs. Larned in the December Woman's Home Com panion. Even the 'Scrooges, if she knows any, should be rescued from their lonely bowls of gruel and per suaded to open their shut up hearts and wear them outside for general in spection as Dickens says, "For Christ mas dawrs to peck at."

To Readers of the Nebraska Independent: ; ' For some time I suffered from a serious kidney trouble, and also gravel (calculi), which I believe was the result of carrying heavy loads and continual ex posure. I had an almost continual pain in my back, was. weak and rue down gen erally. I fully realized that kidney disease was not only remarkably prevalent, but was also' one of the greatest dangers of my own employment, as a large per centage of the deaths among letter carriers is due to some form of kidney trouble. After using other remedies without satisfaction, I decided to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which is prepared in my own city and recommended by so many Binghamton people. Within a short time I realized a marked improvement, and in a reasonable time a complete cure was accomplished. It has been rome time since I have had to use any of the remedy and I have no fear of a recurrence-of the trouble. Two of my fellow carriers E. J. Casey and S. C. Sweeney) have also used Swamp-Root for about the same difficulty as mine, and with exactly the same results, and they gladly join me in recommending the remedy to anyone who suf fers, from kidnev, liver or bladder disorders.
