GOYerled by Prejudice.

Thd following from the Wichita Bea.
con seems a little toe severe on many OF
our republican friends, but there are
some telling truths in it in other re-
spects:
The Barton County Beacon in a re-
cent issue stated that the Congrega-
tional church at Great Bend was in a
fair way 10 have some trouble about
the meeting of representatives of that
denomination to be held there in May.
The trouble grew out of the announce
ment that Governor Lewelling and
Secretary Osborn would attend the
meeting.
The republican members of the
church it seems have refused to enter
tam the members attending the
meeting in case Governor Lewelling
or Secretary Osborn are invited to be
present.
This proceeding seems to have Great
ed some indignation among the poplist
members. There is, however, no cause
for indignation. The experience of
the ages have taught that religion can
notlnstantly transform bigoted fool
to broad minded christian gentlemen.
1t takes time. Perhaps in three or four
hundred years the average Kansas re-
publican will have progressed to the
point that he can attend a church
meeting along with a citizen who had
the effronteFy to beat Farmer Smith
for governor or march In review before
democratic president.
When man is a barbarian he can.
not be controlled at all but when he is
about half civilized he can be partially
managedby appealing to his prejudice.
The Kansas republican has arrived at
the half civilized point. The g. 0. D.
managers never appeal to his judg-
ment but always 20 his prejudice. In
this state it is necessary 10 prejudice
the republican following against Gov.
ernor Lewelling to keep any of them
from going over to the populist camp.
This sort OF training works all right in
political way but it makes wonder
full fool Of Q man in church matters.

Woman Suffrage.

Editor IndeX,-As you have given a
column for the suffrage question, pre-
sumo you will give both sides fair
hearing. There are some objections to
women voting which think are good
ones.
In the first place, the greatest men
ace to republic is ignorance and cor
rupti0n. I do not intend to say that A.
merican women are grossly ignorant;
but while they may be ever so inteli-
gent in other respects, theymay be ig-
norant in the very matters that it takes
to make good voters. TO make good
voters requires careful and constant
study Of economic and political CUES
tions, which comparatively few of our
women have given. This is too we'll
known to require demonstration. You
say we have also large proportion of
ignorant male voters. We have; but
this is no argument why we should add
them to the list.
Because one man steals is no argu-
gument why another should be allowed
to steal. The great trouble with poll
tics today is the large floating element
of ignorant and corrupt voters. Just
because we have so large an element
as we have already is good reason
why we should not add to the ignorant
wing of this class; ignorant politically,
| mean.
l have another objection to the fran
chise, being given at present to our
women. Great reforms and revolu-
ton are in progress. To accomplish
these peaceably requires an education
al force that is simply prodigious. Add
to the mass that is to be educated for
the changes desired and you add to the
difficulty OF the task. More being re-
quired, more time is required to ac-
complish it. But with the intense agi-
tation now being conducted, delay is
dangerous. Every delay means clos
er approach to violence and bloOdsbed.
This being the case, it would be folly
to buroen tie ballot with great mass
OF voters which must yet be educated
on the political lines. L take the
ground that women viii oppose new
movements. because people who are
comparatively ignorant OF the nature
of those movements are always tlmid,
overly conservative, always pulling
back in fear, and this especially applies
to the character of woman as contrast
ed with men. So l reason woman will
be conservative, that she will cling to
the powers that be, that she will favor
old parties and institutions in prefer
ence to new ones. This beng the case,
will be detrlment in the great strug-
gle for equal right, we are EoU con-
Quoting; not Intentionally Of course.
but unconsciOusly. Looking at it.
therefore from the standpoint of poIit-
lcGl economy and reform, l am con-
strained to believe that we already
have too many strains and tests. and
experiments about to rack every TIM
Der Of our old ship OF state, to under
take this one. When these other cues
tons have been put on the high road
TO solution then will be time enough to
consider this without endangering the
welfare of our body polite.

Freight Rates in Kansas.

Wichita Eagle; The Iowa Home
stead of recent date contained an inter-
estlng article on freight rates in Kan
sas, deduced from the report of the
committee on railways and transporta-
tiop, at the convention of retail nipple
ment dealers which recently met in
Kansas City. From comparative tables
the committee showed the rates on IN
plement to 40 towns in Kansas, and
the rates for the same distance
in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. A Pc
rusal of these rates shows that the I'M
piement dealers in Kansas pay an av-
erage freight rate of II per cent. higher
than the dealers in Missouri, 100 per
cent. higher than the dealers in Illinois,
and Sc per cent. higher than the dealers
IN iowa.

way To cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Abraham Lincoln once said, "that If

and then contracted the money volume
before debt was paid it is the most
heinOus crime a government could
commit against the people," If Abra-

such language he would be denounced
