"What, then. is 10 be don9i Immisra-

rosity OF the North has saved US from imme-
duts suffering, ana charitable csnts1ut ions
will be needed in future to a limited extent,
provided the people can have employment
Let Us be abe to say that labor is iL great
demand in Kansas. at good wages, and no
Aid Societies ~iil be needed TO get them
here. They will inl their way here, on
the well established principle of supply and
demand.

is the best adapted and organized for such

even with ali its heavy iosses and disap-
