and economic conditions Of Washington
ls an epitome Of the growth and develop.
ment Of the American republic.
Thirty years ago the glaring inoqualL-
ties OF social conditions now everywhere
apparent we're either confined 10 a few
cities or were unknown In this country.
Thirty years ago the wealth " the ma
tlon, though far less In the aggregate,
was far more equally distributed among
the citizens Of thls republic than IL la to-
day,
Social inequalities are the outgrowV
Of unequal financial conditions, Tho ac-
cumulatlon Of vast fortunes in the pos
session Of a few has been for the most
part brought about by the manipulation
Of legislation, hence our social aud eco
nomlc conditions are the result Of trans
actions which have been consumated by
the political machinery located At our
national capital
For certain local reasons the city Of
Washington Jagged somewhat behind
other large American cities In manifest
Ing the outward signs Of disparity be-
tween tho richer and poorer classes Inn
provements In architecture, elegance In
private residences and their furnishings
were OF later date than In New York,
Philadelphia and other eastern cities.
But when capital did begin 10 flow in for
building purposes there was no dearth OF
magnificent and palatial appointments,
IL has become apparent Of late years 10
some OF the millionaire senators who
represent the people (H) that permanent
residence at the capital is desirable.
Hence there arc senatorial mansions OF
unsurpassed splendOr. There are modern
improvements In tho architecture Of the
city, which together with public grounds,
parks, statues, monuments, buildings and
streets constitute IL one OF the most
beautiful cities on the continent,
In the midst Of all this beauty, this
elegance, this display Of wealth Il Is not
strange that men find Il quite difficult
TO realize the fact that there are do
prlyatlon, hard times, poverty and want
in other sections OF the country, Con-
stantly witnessing the most lavish OK
pendIture OF money and accustomed TO
talk about and deal with sums running
up into the millions, the tendency is en-
tirely away from economy and from a
realization OF It's advlsabillty. In the
language OF Kansas congressman, men
soon forget the difference between the
foul air Of the congressional lobby and
the pure, free atmosphere Of
the broad western pralries. II
would be indeed a revelation TO the
thousands OF voters, the nara working
farmers Of the western prairieS II they
could be transported TO the nations capl-
tai, and there SEQ with their own eyes
the surroundings, the associations and
the transactions Of the men TO whom they
have delegated their responsibility and
their share OF national business.
II is the purpose Of the series Of pa
pers, to which this is but introductory,
TO bring about a somewhat nearer ac-
quaintanoe between the nations capital
and the sovereign voters Of the west.

message for Gen. Brooke.
1t was learned from him that when
they first entered the camp at the edge

were for killing them. This pTecipi-

his followers, who are desirous of com

An important piece Of action taken
during the closing moments of the late
convention was the adoption of reso-
luton with reference to the support of
all Alliances. The policy of the Alli-
ance will be to withhold all support
from newspapers which do not conduct
Alliance departments or at least pub
lish Alliance news regularly. This ar
rangement does not compel support of
Alliance measures or an advocacy of
Alliance demands on the part of these
newspapers in their editorial columns,
but does compel certain degree of
friendliness on their part and amounts
to an absolute boycott of all newspapers
which do not come up to the terms of
the resolution.
