the same as that charged for one.
The Twice-A-Week Times will be

expense will be spared in the collec-

Consistency.

EDITOR VoICE:-It is rather for the
lack of how to say than for something
to say that has kept me silent. But
when l read ]. ]. Ingalls, lecture lee
ture delivered in Kansas City it made
me feel like saying something. He
says "One-sixth Of the people in the
midst of plenty are slowly starving"
Again, II censure and condemn the
charge that this condition has been
brought about by legislation" And
again: 'There must be immediate
ameliOration of existing condition"
Now | want to know if legislation
has not caused this condition of the
people, what has, or how is he going
to improve those conditions by ameli-
GRAFTON, las he calls it, if legislation
is not the cause?
The fact is, don't see how the gen.
tleman can now say legislation is not
the cause. In his senate speech he
said "a financial system under which
more than one-half of the enormous
wealth of the country, derived. from
the bounty of nature and the labor of
all, is owned by little more than 30
900 people, while 100000 American
citizens, able and willing to toll, are
homeless tramps, starving for bread,
requires adjustment"
| now ask all who may read this
article, if this financial system was
not established by and through legiS-
latiOn? l leave you to Judge which
time the gentleman told the truth.
He said in his senate speech it was
the financial system that was taking
the wealth from the many and giving
it to the few. Then in his Kansas
City lecture said he censured and con-
demned the charge that this cOndi-
ton has been brought about by legis-
latiOn. "Oh. consistency

employed to direct the readers mind

is engaged in other work, and does not
desire nOtoriety as a story writer
He isa western man, and not unknown

DEAR VOICE:-As your readers all
doubtless know | am guard at the
state treasury. l go on duty at 6 p.
m. and keep vigil until 4 a. m.-lay
down and sleep till the office force
comes in and am thereby relieved for
the day. Though temporarily re-
moved from Sumner and her faithful
band of reformers, in spirit am with
them still. During this lull in poll
tics, let US take an inventory Of the
past and get our bearings for the fu-
ture. The old party press has Ia
bored ever since the fall election to
show that we lost ground in 1913. l
don't believe it. am sure that our
party is comparatively stronger in
Kansas today than ever before.
How can any reasonable rea-
sOning voter ever 60 back into
the old parties, when every days
market report is an additional proof
of the declarations of our press and
speakers for years past. These times
have been closely fOretOld by our
Weavers, GillettS and Folks. Every
well-infOrmed voter knows that legiS-
latiOn is responsible for the condl-
lions surrounding us at this time. 1t
isn't reasonable then to suppose that
any of our people should return to
the old parties and thereby assist in
perpe tuating vicious legislation and
consequent hard times From a party
standpoint we have abundant cause
to be encouraged. These hard pinch
ing times are bringing people to their
senses. People are investigating as
they never did before. That is our
hope. Investigation is what we
court. So let us dress up our ranks
and begin the canvass of '94. And
when the roll is called in November
next, let every veteran answer to his
name and report duties performed.
Very earnestly yours in reform,

Why would it not have been a good
