The Guthrie Democrats are having q

won't allow a member of the Comanche
club who is over 40 years old to become
n member of their organization, but
when the Comanches have a meeting
they go in and do more talking
than anybody. And the Com
mances don't know what to do
about it. The Democrats are to have
a convention soon at Oklahoma City
and the Papooses propose to elect their
share of the delegates and then go over
and elect the Comanches delegates for
them. So you see the situation. The
Comanches are not saying much but
they are whetting up their tomahawk5
and getting their war paint on.

| of Gods natural bounties. Originally
the people-an the people-owned the
| land. In them God vested the title, and
in them it should have remained. The
people are not only the rightful owners
of the land, but they are entitled in
their collective capacity to It's in
crease in value resulting from the
accumulation of population and from
national, moral and educational advance
ment. What does the Individual con-
| tribute to the increase in value OF any
given spot of ground? Simply the value
of Improvements and cultivation. To
that value he is entitled and nothing
more. Has Mr.. Emo impaired 10 the ia
nous tongue" its enormous value: or IS
its value the result of the wonderful adj
vancement of New York and Its trlbu-
tary country, in population, wealth and
mental and moral culture? In other
words has not the community created
this value? and if it has, should not the
community instead of the individual re-
ceiye the benefits? But these suggestions
do not apply exclusively to city lots
they apply to iron mines. to coal mines,
to petroleum lands and to farming lands
and find no reasonable limitation short
of the entire surface and substance OF
the earth.
These suggestions may be considered
as perplexing an already vexed question.
RELIEF cannot be obtained on the basis
they propose except by revolution, and
revolution, it may be that would be long
and tedious. Besides. if new system
of land tenure is to be inaugurated there
might be much difficulty IN determining
what it shall be.
What we want is immediate relief. l
trust that that will be realized to some
extent as result of the natural course
of events that Mr.. Davis points out as
transpiring. But permanent and conf
plete relief can not come i'll this way. Ii
can only come by securing to the laborer
the fruits of his toll. In other words. 1t
cannot come until every device by which
wealth is amassed without labor and as
legitimate profit on capital, shall have
been eliminated from our social and eco
nomical system.
In this connection / cannot refrain
from referring to the single tax ideas
advocated by Henry George. Let every
lover of justice inform himself concern
ing them. If they are right the sooner
they shall be incorporated into our eco
nomic system, the sooner will the prog
ress of poverty be stayed. Nothing is
gained by ignorant abuse. Besides, they
have already run the gauntles of ridicule
and abuse and are now undergoing a
candid examination. Every conscien-
tious man should at least accord them
such an examination. If they are right,
to retard their progress is to perpetuate
the injustice of expressing the hand of
toll. These ideas have been antagonized
as prejudicial to the inteeest of the farm
er: but as they propose an equitable dis
triDution of the fruits of toll among the
toilers alone. the farmer has all to gain
and nothing to lose; for, as l have said
before, if they are right they will accom-
plish this result, and if they are wrong
they will not prevail.

an average of twenty-seven and one-half

An immigration convention, to be
composed of representatives from the
counties of the southwest quarter of the
state, is called to be beld in Dodge City,
Friday of this week, the 28th. This
movement is meant to be auxiliary to
the work of the State immigration bu
reau, but its efforts will be directed more
especially to that part of the state, in
view of the fact that it has peculiarities
different from other portions of the state
that require special line of advertising
that the state bureau will probably not
fully supply. Each county Is requested
TO send two delegates to the convention.

The Atchison Champion is satisfied
that the Farmers Alliance of the state
will place candidate in the field for
United States senator 20 succeed Senator
Ingalls,, and expresses the opinion that
their candidate will be State Treasurer
Sims. and among the reasons why
he Will and should be the farmers
choice this, that he sis a practical
farmer, actively identified with the agri-
cultural interests of Kansas" The EAGLE
has no personal objection to Major Sims
as man and citizen, but if the Cham
pion's suggestion that the Alliance in
tends to name candidate for the posi-
ton mentioned has any foundation of
fact, that organization will certainly
choose Its candidate from its ranks. and
not a theoretical agriculturist-a farmer
by proxy, so to speak. However, these
observations, like the Champions guess.
are pure gratuities. The Alliance people
are competent to speak for themselves.

The Kansas City Star criticiSes Dun's
weekly trade review, particularly that
of last week, as untruStworthy, for the
reason that it presents conditions that do
not exist. For instance, the review stated
that wheat advanced last week , Is
cents, when in fact the price dropped
Ia cent: it also quotes the receipts of
hogs at Chicago as nearly double those
of the corresponding period last year,
while they We're very little larger for
the time named, and were actually
smaller than they have been for some
time past. We find pretty much the
same cause for criticism in the weekly
clearing house report for the past two or
three weeks. That trade barometer has
shown considerable decrease in the
volume of business in Wichita. while
the daily clearances as published on our
iocal page have shown good per cent.
of increase, almost without exception.
These weekly reports are relied upon
largely by the commercial interests of
the country in making business caicula-
tions, and they should be made up with
the most scrupulous care.

ing liberal trade agreement with our

need further argument. 1t is of infin-
itely greater concern to US than such a
deal with our northern neignbors, much
as that is desired, for obvious rea-
sons, and it is not only fitting
but highly important that the people of
Kansas. and especially the farming COM
munity, through the alliances. should
take active measures to prevent the con-
sumation of the great wrong that is even
at this moment attempted to be perpe-
trated by preventing the incorporation
of clause in the pending treaty with
Mexico providing for the restoring of the
mutually beneficial relations between
that country and this. This they can do
by petition.
This, we understand it to be, is in per-
feet harmony with the ideas and plans
so long advocated and SO persstently
held 10 by Mr. Blaine and which is at
last taking shape. practically we all
hope, through the Three Americas con-
gress now in session in Washington, and
that is to inaugurate and carry into eff
feet comprehensive system of trade re-
lations between the American nations.
