The WaHs Of simpaOn and LeIand.

In last Thursdays Leavenworth Times
(Rep) an interesting chapter in the his
tory Of the bossism OF Leland ls given
It Is stated that State Chairman Simp-
son was beaten for delegate to the last
State convention from his county and
also failed to get the delegates from his
Judicial district to put him on the State
committee, but he got the convention
to leave the matter of naming the chair
man to the nominees. They selected
Simpson. Then, to get complete con-
troll the customary resolution author
izing the chairman to name an eXecu-
tive committee of eleven was adopted
He then adjourned the committee and
never called 1t together again. He
named an executive committee, seven
of the members of which were his de-
voted henchmen, and were not members
of the committee. This executive COM
mittee named by man who was wholly
without endorsement from the voters
or the convention, proceeded to run the
campaign. This committee has now
authorized Simpson and Frank l..
Brown, another man whose connection
with the committee Is not authorized
by anybody but an unauthorized execu-
tive committee, to open headquarters
and conduct the preliminary campaign.
They are now figuring on calling the
State convention without consultation
with the State committee and fixing
things generally to further their inter
ests without regard to the welfare Of
the party. All these things and more
have been done in the interest Of Simp-
son, who is really Leland's right hand
man, the Leavenworth Times declares.
II this is not autocratic boss rule, what
Is It? It is In total disregard of the
party itself. 1t is a sample of the meth
ods which these fellows believe should
prevail in public matters.

Kansas Debts and Debt-Payers.
,Contlnued from page 81

tended to give encouragement to farmers
nearly 80 per cent. of the people OF the
State were exempt from the payment OF
obligations These exemptions included
farm utensils and other things of necessity
on the farm, and In cases where Judg-
ments were taken there was little or noun
ing that could be attached In payment
Despite these exemptions, Kansas people
say that not 10 per cent. of those legally
exempt from obligations availed them
selves of their lawful rights. Mr.. Breiden-
thai says that as Bank Commissioner ne
finds in every part of the state men VINO
prefer to nay their debts outright rather
than to extend their mortgages ana Duy
more land or make improvements on their
holdings. Supplementing Mr.. Breldentnals
statements / am at liberty to quote what
Major Hood, president. of the leading bank
in Emporia, one of the men most proml-
nently mentioned for the Republican noml-
nation for Governor at the next election,
when the Republicans expect to win, said
to me of Kansas debts and debt-paylng;
"I have lived here" said Major Hood,
''twenty-slX years, and have been In the
banking business most OK that time, ana
in all my experience have never seen such
a desire to pay debts and such a result
in debt-paying in this State as we have
had In 1897
Further testimony as to Kansas debt
paying lies in the fact that In Kansas, as
in Nebraska and other States Of the Middle
West, the loan business, as 1t was for
merly conducted, is over. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars of Eastern money
have been sent back since last fall because
there was no market for 1t. Only recently
a bank official In central New York re-
ceived letters of inquiry from Kansas ask
ing as to the value of certain investments.
Some persons in Kansas had money to
lend In the East. 1t is a fact beyond dis
pute that Western mortgages are being
paid off far in advance of maturity. One
agent of loan company told me that
from the West alone returns on unmatured
loans were coming in at his office at the
rate of $4,000 week faster than he could
put out the money again. He said he was
simply sending back all the Eastern money
that was coming to him. He could not find
u market even for his Western money.
In view Of these facts, think 1t is fair
to say that the present aim of Kansas is
to get out of debt, and that she Is getting
out of debt marvellously fast, consider
ing what she has had to contend against
in the matter of bad reputation and hard
times. When we analyZe the extent OF the
prosperity that came to the State in 1897,
as we shall in another article, | think II
will be agreed by all reasonable persons
that II is not case of special pleading
to argue that Kansas people are not only
excellent debt-pRyers but among the best
debt-payers In the country, and especially
so when we remember the temptation she
had to borrow recklessly.
Truly there Is light in Kansas now, and
when one considers what she has done In
twenty years, he may say that Mr.. ingalls,,
for once In his life, did not exaggerate
when he said that her arithmetic was
! bewildering.

epidemics and instructions and we
would have no insurance in this country.
During the year 1896, fire insurance
companies from other States and coun-.
tries received S1,544 900 from the people
Of Kansas and paid them 100000 in
losses, taking 100000 out of the State.
The hfe insurance companies from a
distance collected premiums to the
Mmount of 81, ,3O0, 900, and paid losses to
the amount OF $354,0O0, taking about
S95O,OOO out OF the State. There Is
S1,5O00OO that this State has paid out
for which 1t has absolutely nothing to
show. During the last twenty-six years
Kansas has paid S45,OOO000 in preml-
ums and received $2O,000000 for her
losses, losing $25,000,OO0 by the trans
action money which absolutely left the
State
''1'here should be, there must be some
way by which the people can receive a
reasonable insurance at q reasonable
rate. These great companies have never
shown any disposition to make such
q rate. While individuals would suffer,
AZ would be an absolute and definite
gain to the people Of Kansas II no out
side company was allowed to do dol
lax's worth OF business in this State,
even II no insurance was written. AS
the business Is now conducted, 1t may
bA good bet to insure property or life,
but there Is no business about 1t. In
surance Is not business proposition as
now conducted. A man can do as we'll
at almost any game that has an ele-
ment of chance in 1t. OF course our
/, people have had the insurance, but the
Insurance companies get the money.
The whistles come too high"
Mr. Little says that the adoption OF
State insurance ia easily practicable
that assessors might Ak property rates
and premiums might be paid in just as
taxes are now paid to the County Treas
urer The insurance under his plan
would be entirely optional with the citi-
zen; II 1t was not wanted there would
be mo- expense Mr.. Little summarizes
his plan by the following six points:

pay Tor insurance are so excessive that

+ ". o. Little has made an extended
study Of the plan Of State insurance and
he is a firm believer in that form Of So
ciaiism. Mr.. Little says that the thir-
teen New York life companies have vast
resources and assets, according to their
reports, "but relatively speaking" he
says, "they have no assets and no re-
sources except their debts" He says
further: "The census shows that their
total assets December 81, 1889, were
1890, 100000. The report shows that the
net present value OF all the outstanding
policies in force December 81, 1889, with
4 per cent. interest was 1857 100000, a
small enough margin, which they de-
clared to be their liabilities. The real
facts were that their liabilities were
81, ,173, 900 600, as shown by the same CEN
sus. They figured out percentage OF
losses that showed that only SS57,OOO,OOO
OF 1t was in any danger OF being called
for, but they had agreed to pay over
81, 600, 900 900 of insurance and only had
1890, 10000 with which to pay 1t.
"The fire insurance companies were In
the same fix. The assets OF the l,926 nre
and similar companies were listed at
1928 900, 900, while the risks in force
amounted to $4,000, 100000. OF course
many of these people won't die at an
Inconvenent time and much Of this
property won't burn at an inopportune
moment, but those are the resources and
those are the liabilities OF those COM
