What OF The r. M. b. A.

From reports brought to us by mem.
bers from all parts of the county, II
seems undeniable that the F. M. b. A.
has been badly crippled by the cam.
paign which has just closed. While
the order has ostensibly kept out Of
politics, yet as matter of fact nearly
every Lodge has been to all intents
and purposes recruiting station for
the Peoples party. During the past
six months we venture the guess that
partizan politics has been talked in
the Lodges ten hours to where SUBJ
jects Immediately pertaining to agri-
culture have been discussed ten min
utes. AS q result of this, so far as we
can learn, Republicans have univer-
sally remained away from the meet
ings, not caring to go where the only
thing heard was abuse of their party.
Now that the campaign is over, the
question with these men must be,
Shall we return and again try to get
some good out of the order, or shall We
abandon 1t altogether?
The REGISTER, while not presum-
ing to advise them. yet sincerely hopes
they will do the first thing,-return to
the order. This paper has always be-
lieved in and encouraged the organi-
zation of the farmers, and 1t welcomed
the F. NJ. b. A. because it was founded
on just principles and seemed to be
calculated to accomplish much good.
But it can accomplish no good if it is
debased into a mere political machine.
That Is a proposition SO obvious as to
need no argument. If the order is to
fulfil the purpose for which it was or
ganized it must be wrested from the
control of the political quacks and
shysters who have attempted to pros
titute it to their own base uses. There
are Republican farmers enough in AL
len county to do this, and we believe
it is duty they owe themselves to do
Ii. They are as much entitled to the
privileges and the benefits of the order
as are the members of any other party
and they ought not to allow them
selves to be crowded out. Let them
return to their Lodges, and there in
sist on the rigid enforcement of the
rule that no politics of any kind shall
be preached in the Lodge room. Let
them sit down hard on the man or
men who would attempt to use the
order in favor of or against any polit-
ical party. Let this be done all over
the county and the order can then be
brought back to its original purpose
and become in deed as in name a
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
and not partisan political machine.

guilty Of the basest ingratitude. He is

A dispatch from Abiline, dated
Nov. s, says:
The Travellers Insurance Company
has ordered its agents here to make nc
more loans on account of the threats
made by the Peoples party against
interest laws and loan companies
Every attempt will he made to collect
it's business up closely and no more
money will be put out until it is felt
that investments viii be safe. Inter
est rates will be raised if other COM
panies will follow suit.
A Topeka man, representing the
largest farm mortgage company in the
State, is quoted as saying that the loan
companies will generally refuse to re-
new or extend loans in Kansas, but
will withdraw the capital from the
State as rapidly as possible.
This much has already resulted from
the success Of the People'sparty at the
late election. What do the people
think about ii?
The REGISTER is ready to admit. that
the loan companies are unduly timor-
Gus. BUTT cannot admit surprise that
they should be frightened. In this
part Of the State the Peoples party
orators were comparatively ::conserva-
tive, but out west their talk was vast
ly different. They did not hesitate
there to declare that they demanded
the forcible distribution of property,
that if they got into power they intend
ed to abolish rent, interest and all
kinds Of speculative profits. They ad-
vised their hearers to absolutely stop
the payment of debts, to refuse to paw
taxes, to resist the officers of the Gov
eminent by force and to insist that
there should be forcible distribution
Of property. Now the REGISTER has
no idea the Peoples party viii do all
these things, or any of them. In the
first place Republican Senate and a
Republican Governor will not let
them; and in the second place, If they
had the Senate and the Governor 1t lie

FUNsrON's VOTE.

The vote Of Anderson county first
sent us as official and printed on our
first page proves to have been slightly
erroneous. The correct vote of that
county on Congressman is as follows:
Funston Az, Allen 1,179, Chapman
SIS. This makes the correct totals as
follows: Funston 17,7l5, Allen 12,0s1,
Chapman 1925. Mr.. Funston's plu-
rality is therefore 5,6s4 instead of
5,612 as given OH our first page.

of affairs we have no idea we could
place the losn with our Eastern Gus

for the last year to make them believe
We had something in eastern Kansas,
and that our farmers were intending to
pay their debts, but the calamity
hunters" have succeeded In electing
everything, and we have no idea We
shall be able to place any Kansas
mortgages until after we see what this
Legislature does. We are therefore
obliged to decline this application, and
there will be no use sending any in
until We find out how things are going
to turn. Yours Resp'ly,
