TRUTH Is MIGHTY AND MUST PRE-
VAIL.

The condition OF this great state OF
Kansas is exceedingly satisfactory, but
some Of our people are afraid our pros
perity is but little known and hardly ap-
preciated.
The opinion Of an eastern money lend
er or mortgage holder, if it is adverse to
legislation contemplated by our people,
j is spoken Of with bated breath and re-
garded with awe by the timid ones.
! Kansans are usually outspoken, have the
courage of their convictions AID are not
afraid but still there are timid souls
who appear over anxious about what
| the east may think OF this or that meas
ure. The fact Kansas is today intrinsic
| ally and substantially better offthau ever
before does not fortify the timid ones.
But it is worth while to say to them
that since it was imposs bic and undesir-
able TO prevent unfavorable conditions
from becoming understood 10y the inter
ested. 1t is quite as certain that the
vast improvement in the wealth of
Kansas of the last three years IS quite
well understood and appreciated by all
interested parties Good tidings often
travel as lar and as fast as bad. Kansas
today requires no apology nor explana-
ton. Politically she has surprised some
people, but so has many
other states, and she is not
so unique politically. Her good
name remains III the hands of
her sons, which is, and should be ample
safeguard against wicked foolishness,
which can only end in disaster. Kansas
can trust her people of whatever politi-
cal party. Then let us look forward
with confidence, to that bright future
which is 50 near, and so certain, in
short time to become the golden pres
ent
The prosperity of the state must come
out of our unequalled soil. In fact it is
coming, now, came last year and last, and
will come next year. 1t is produced by
the cultivators of the soil from ranges
and farms, il is coming and to STAY. !
There can be no abstract injustice in our |
wealth producers, trying their hand, TAX
ing their turn IN shaping the policy of |
our commonwealth Who are more inter-
ested in good, in honest government !
than they:
Let Kansans attend to their knitting, |
raise mammoth crops; the world will
know it, and cast their lot in with US.
Let us pay our debts, the capitalist will
promptly know that, and in the future
as in the past will be glad 10 give the
credit, which is our due, and which we
SO well deserve.
There is in our condition, and in our
situation nothing requiring apology.
Let us not think of what others may
think of us. Let It's work; open up new
acres to cultivation as we are now doing,
and have been doing for three years,
raise crops, fat cattle and hogs, sell them,
pay our debts. Those are the things
worth thinking about and worth doing.
Such matters are not mysterious in their
'esults. We shall easily be found ouS in
)ur prosperity and thousands of enter
orislng people will yearly come in and
share it, and aid in the upbuilding of the
great central commonwealth Of America,

KANSAS REMINIsCeNsEs

| In personal letter to the editor of the
Lawrence Journal, Hon. George II. Net
| Teton asks for some information in refer
ence to the condition of the weather in
Kansas during the winter Of 'j6 and 81.
His remarks will serve to recall TO oul
! first settlers some rather unpleasant ex-
periences of that time, and perhaps some
one can furnish the information he
seeks. Mr.. Nettleton says:
Il find the following in Rhod's History
of the United States, 1S50-1S60: The
winter in Kansas 1855 was unusually
severe. The ground WAS covered with
snow. For weeks the thermometer
ranged from 10 TO 80 degrees below zero,
and once the thermometer froze within
and burst the bulb From Sara Robin
sons Kansas: The sufferings of the
settlers were intense. Their hastily
built houses and cabins lacked comfort.
1t was impossible to keep them warm
Mrs. Robinson states that watel would
freeze in tumblers on the table while the
family were at breakfast: that the bread
could be cut only as it was thawed be-
fore the fire, ETC., etc.
l remember the winter of 1S55-56 as
an unusually severe one, but | do not
remember anything like such discom-
fort as are related above. Is not this
statement exaggerated, greatly exagger-
ated? 1t is hard to conceive of such
cold. The writer goes on and says: The
few slaves in the territory Jared badly.
Judge Elmore, probably the largest slave
holder in Kansas, and his wife had to
exert themselves to their utmost 10 keep
their nineteen negroes alive. He was
himself obliged to haul wood aud cut it
to keep them warm, nevertheless one
old man froze TO death in his bed and
another was so severely frost-bitten
that he was manned for life This is
also from Sara RObinsOn'S Kansas

Uncle Jerry Rusk has less than two

some more good service out of that time.
Professor c. c. Georgeson of the Kansas
State Agricultural college hrs gone TO
Denmark, his native land, on a mission
for the department of agriculture at
Washington. Secretary Rusk has en-
gagged him to spend a month studying
the Denmark dairy farms, the manufac-
ture OF butter and cheese and their dis

another month encouraging the intro
duction of Indian corn as a TODD among
the people Of northern Europe. and will
then return. Mr.. Rusk's efforts in be-
half of the agricultural interests OF this
country have been unceasing, and are
big with results, at present enjoyed and

NO BETTER THAN a MAN.


BY JESS
How Oft the praise OF woman.
In poetic song IS heard,
As we sing in alteration,
In music's tone and word;
Yet with this touching tribute,
This sentiment first began,
A wife that's not mother
Is Ho better than q man.
i wife is not better haif,
Who motherless remains.
And man Is never doUbly blessed,
Vino such affairs sUstains;
Since childhood IN the beginning.
When motherhood began,
a wife that's not a mother
Is no better than man.
You tell her of her beauty.
You SPEAK of her with pride,
You greet her as your better half
While sitting by her side;
And wren she's young and chiidlike,
You love, of course You can,
But when she's old and childless.
She's no better than a man.
She may talk 10 you Of voting,
And OF mans despotic rule"
OF mans rights and wonaa's rights,
Aud children's rights at school;
But if she has 40 children,
Deny it if you can.
The woman not a mother,
is Iebetter than a man.
And thus we sing the praises.
OF the mothers Of the world"
For the mothers OF our country"
Our banners are Unfurled,
And babes, our greatest blessings,
Since creation first began.
BuG wife that's not mother,
Is 40 better than a man.
