MORE FACTS FOR THE ALI
NOE

Last weeks Cresset, under this cap
ton, says:
There were farm mortgages released in this
county, during the month OF July 10 the
amount of $2J040. The amount recorded was
$3,tG2.
There we're city mortgages released to the
amount Of 1900 and none recorded.
OF the above sum the district clerk
released Sl7,S 800, and he informs us that
it took just 80 farms to make the re-
lease. The lands were sold by the sher-
iif, and bought in by the mortgage
holder, and of course the mortgage was
extinguished; but In every case the
farmer has lost his farm, and in nearly
every case there is a great big balance
against the farmer on his unsatisfied
note. The local editor of the Cresset
has worked in the Office of the district
clerk long enough to warrant us in be
lieving that he knew what he was talk
ing about when he wrote the above ex-
tract. If he did know, he was evident
ly trying to mislead. The Information
while true III one respect, is utterly
false in its general scope. 1t was in
tended to convey the impression that
our farmers had sold of enough wheat,
corn, cattle and hogs to pay their debts,
and had paid this amount of money to
mortgage holders. The sheriff is the
great 'mortgage-lifter" in this county,
and we believe the sheriffs of the state
are ''lifting" more mortgages than the
farmers are.
Kansas is rapidly getting rid of her
mortgage Indebtedness, and just about
as rapidly getting her farms into the
hands of CORPORATIONS, and driving her
lr merS to Oklahoma or Colorado.
Talk about good times, when the
manufacturers of good times, ION pa
per- have to falsIfy the records in or
der to mlslead the people, and make
them believe that the country Is pros
porous, while the farmers are losing
their farms, and town-lot owners are
not able to pay their taxes.
Call this calamity howl if you like,
but the records will show that the state
ment is true.

Eagle: The talk among the farm.
ers of holding back their wheat for a
decent price is received by the specu-
Iaturs and boards of trade with a cry of
corner and trust. There is no corner
or trust about it. If the farmers can
hold their grain long enough to break
up the Chicago Board of Trade and Sc
cure fair price for their crop, they
will benefit themselves and the entire
country. Their efforts in this direction
are most commendable and will meet
with the approval of every honest man
in the country

IRE in answering these questions were
it not that last week we asked Demo
cratn couple of questions which he
has ignored, and for the further reason
that when he makes a statement he
sticks to IL. trne or false. No evidence
is sufficient; ana he misconstrues the
plain meaning of everything he dis
likes. On his theory we could reason
that because he has not answered our
questions in the negative therefore
they are true. And we guess they are.
