Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-10-07

c. H. Lowry, who has returned from
his visit to Ohio, says the people back
there are twenty years behind the times
He says they are either Republicans or
Democrats, and when he spoke to any of
them about reform, they opened their
eyes in stonishment-they didn't know
what he meant. He says very few of
them read the papers, and when he asked
for paper to read, they would say their
time ran out quite spell ago" and the
times were so hard, they couldn't afford
to renew. He was glad to get back home
There is a move on foot to have a pas
senger train put on the X, N. q road,
to run from Topeka to Pittsburg. We
hope it won't end in talk. 1t is under
stood that a man will be sent over the
line by the Topeka Commercial Club to
ascertaing the sentiment of the people on
the subject. We hope he will come. If
he does, he will find the sentiment all one
way-in favor of the train. There is no
doubt that such train would pay the
company, and it certainly would greatly
accommodate the people along the line.
