much that the labores have to mort
gage their little property and live on
the proceeds. This is a true statement.
During the past ten years the capital
lists lived in luxury at the expense of
the tOilers. During the same period
u farmers and other workers lived
very plainly, although they increased
the wealth of the country so per cent.
Now, simple justice demands that the
increase should be equally divided be-
tween the two classes. There is some
thing wrong somewhere. In fact,
nearly everything is wrong. McKin-

The Capital publishes what it Calls
ga cheering exhibit" of the present
condition of the people of Kansas.
According to it the robbers have only
stolen 1,103 farms in 43 counties for
the last six months. Why are the
other 60 counties omitted from the
list? Would it have spoiled the story?
But counting them as a fair average it
would show $3.50 mortgages ~fOreclOsed
in six months or 1900 in the year. This
may be "a cheering exhibit for the
holders of these mortgages but from
the other side of the fence it appears
pretty rough on the $500 families
made homeless in u State. The
Capital and the thieves and robbers it
represents may be happy but there are
sometimes two sides to a question:
