Bluoe the former accusation implies an unfavorable conception of the Superintendent's policy, Jet him now be admonished that the wisest inter- pretatlou of that policy must be to build up and heal up, and not to tear down.

Thla is a fact easily accounted for. The great railroads whose land grants comprise hundreds of thousands of acres in western Kansas, have extensively advertised them everywhere, offering low rates of travel, and thousands have been carried through and lxyond the more desirable and valuable lands of the eastern counties.
