Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-07-19

EDITOR SUNFLowER Ever since

will allow every voter in Kansas to
vote for or against the enfranchise-
ment of Kansas women next NOvem-
Der, few of us have wished that
the way might be opened for us 70
have a hand in this great movement.
We had not found the courage in
ourselves to take hold, but finally
our state campaign committee offer
ed to send us one of the state organ
izers, and Mrs. Belle Jones, one of
our most courageous, true-hearted
women, took charge of the meeting.
Mrs. Luela R. Kraybill, of Win
field, our organizer, made very
logical and wholly unanswerable
argument in favor of our measure.
She is one OF the most effective
speakers we have heard. She has a
marvellous voice and delivery, which
are hardly excelled by even those of
Mrs. Mary E. Lease.

ident, Rev. Mckinney vice-presi-
dent, Miss Hattie Chapman secre-
tary, Miss Nellie Crawford; treas
urer, Miss Lizzie Brooks.
Success to our movement and all
the noble women who are making
such efforts in its behalf.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again." and so will the principles of
our measure, until they are recog-
nized over all the world.

common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves

We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as q free government while built upon the
'ove Of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned To-
gether by bayonets, that the civil war is over,
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF it must die with il. and that we
must be in fact, as we are in name, a united
brotherhood of free men.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent in the
history Of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions Of dollars in
value. which must within few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions Of dollars Of
commodities consumed in their production
The existing currency supply is wholly made
Quate TO make this exchange. The results are
falling prices, the formation Of combines and
rings and the impoverishment of the producing
classes. We pledge ourselves that if given
power we will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation. in accordance

White Light Versus Yellow Light.

The real illuminating power of white as
compared with colored sources Of light
came under discussion recently Mt the
Polytechnic society of Berlin. A yellow
light of higher real illuminating power
looks less powerful than n somewhat fccblef
white light but only when looked at di-
rectly. If an equal white famed lamp be
used alongside n yellow one, the illuminat
ing utility of the yellow one is found tt
