PROSPERITY IN KANSAS.

WICHITA. Kan. Sept. 4-Kansas is rich
i'm prosperity this year. From Newton 10
Neodesha and from Neodesha 10 Topeka
the land and the farm houses are rich with
the fruits OF harvest. The value OF live
stock in the State has increased from SO
565.90O in 1896 to s1ss.057.0e2 in 1879. while
the value of the farm products has risen
from sll3.99o,022 10 s16s.74s.0S7. The aggre-
gate value of the live stock and agricultural
products in 1896 was Sis. iS5.s22 and in 1888
s302, SOi 129. an increase of sl1295S. 2o7. When
the statistical returns of 1900 have been
made some time during the summer OF 1901.
fully as great proportionate increase
will be shown for this year alone.
Live stock raising is one Of the most inn
portant industries of the State. In 1883 the
value of the live stock passing through the
Kansas City stockyards amounted TO sll2.-
640.6lS: in 1899 to 20.S46000. an increase OF
more than sS,oO0.OOO in a single year There
was handled in the Kansas City market
last year 5.963.573 head Of live stock. more
than 100000 head of which originated in
Kansas. In a pro rata distribution of val
ues this would give the stock raisers or
Kansas the sum of So III for this prod
uct alone. AS matter of fact, since 1875
the live stock industry has added more than
$l5,000,00O in resources TO the State.
The increase in bank deposits is equally
significant. These in 1896 were $50. isS $50.
and by the last bank statement OF this year
SIS. AIS. Isl, an increase OF SIS, 100000 i'm four
years. In ten of the most important coun-
ties of the State the total of the number
of mortgages recorded was 100000 less
than the total of the number released. The
amount released was $6.0o0oO0.
In three years the bonded Indebtedness
OF the State has been reduced from &c.
0oo. 600 to s24OCo.0O0. Kansas has raised this
year nearly 100000 bushels OF wheat.
which, at any reasonable price. will bring
$50. 100000 into the pockets of the farmers.
To remove the crop will require 100000 box

Careful reading and comparison of the
Labor day speeches of Messrs. Roosevelt
and Bryan must result in convincing every
fair-minded man and competent critic that
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech was by far the more
able, dignified. appropriate and patriotic of
the two. From the first to the last sentence
there was not word In it that could be
criticised by the Iaboring men the capt.
talist. by Republican or Democrat, or from
a political, social or economic point of view.
Scholarly in tone and treatment, ii was
an earnest presentation on strictly nom
partisan lines by a typical American cit
izen of the rights and duties that pertain
to American citizenship. and of the rela-
tons of individuals to each other and to
the government. incidentally. some of the
industrial problems of the day were dis
cussed from a nonpartisan point of view.
There was not a word of politics in the
speech nor reference to any political issue.
To properly characterize Mr.. Bryah's
speech, what has been said of Mr.. Roose-
welt must be exactly reversed. Mr.. Bryan's
pirate nor patriotic. In dealing largely
with the political issues of the day he dis
regarded previous understanding and gross
ly violated the proprieties of the occasion.
The issue which the Kansas City platform
declares to be the paramount one of the
campaign. imperialism, was made para
mount in Mr.. Bryan's speech. To enforce
his views on the question he made a
garbled and distorted quotation from one
of Abraham Lincoln's messages which
should stamp him for all time as an un-
scrupulous perverter of the truth. He
dwelt upon the dangers of militarism,
which nobody favors. He attacked the
policy of the administration in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. He devoted large
space to government by injunction" thus
reviving one of the most vicious planks in
the Chicago platform. He INDUCED in his
customary platitudes about 'the consent
of the governed" and charged that the
Republican party was trying to turn the
government into the pathway followed by
the empires of the old world" In short.
he made a regular political speech. to the
disgust, no doubt, of his Republican hear
ers and of all who expected to hear a
nonpartisan address appropriate to the oc-
casion. A comparison of the two speeches
ought to lose Mr.. Bryan thousands of votes.

Following is an extract from speech de-
livered Saturday night by Hon. Richard
Yates. Republican candidate for Governor
in Illinois:
NV fellow-citizens, let us make no mis-
take. We are a world power, and not
hermit nation The destiny of this Union
is divinely ordained. Democratic leaders or
to-day may forgetting jefferson or Doug
las) make light of this statement, but when
face 10 face with their conscienceS they
know il is true. On every national ami
versary. such as the Fourth of July, they
give utterance to it. We all believe that
this hemisphere was concealed from the
rest of the world until 1892 for a mighty
purpose. We all believe that that purpose
was to establish here, on American soil, a
mighty and model republic, from which
liberty should go to benefit the whole wide
world.
Thus believing, we believe that boys
I'm blue are missionaries in blue. and that
the call for retreat Is not to be sounded to
them so long as there confronts them a
single armed savage; and we all believe,
and are determined that where, by the sac
rifice or suffering. the agony and death, of
our army or navy, the American flag has
gone up i'm the Philippines, ii ought not to
come down until civilization-which is but
a manifestation of divine Providence-de-
cides that il may come down with honor to
ourselves and justice TO our obligations to
Spain and the Philippines.
That is the way Republican speakers are
lodging" the issue of Imperialism. The
fact is they are turning that battery on the
enemy. and it will not be long till the latter
will be trying to get out of it's range.

A mans first vote for candidate for the
presidency of the United States is event
in his life. 1t marks his entrance into the
affairs of the great Republic as an active
factor. and if he is of the normal make
up he has very properly looked forward TO
the occasion as an important one. He
gives the subject good deal of thought
and has a natural desire TO ally himself
with the right side. That he should make
the right choice is of even more conse-
quence than he realizes, but he learns
later, in looking back over his career,
that this vote has to a great extent gov
erned his subsequent political course.
There was never a time in the history of
the Nation when choice of presidential
candidates was of greater significance to
first voters than in this campaign at the
end Of the century. Many issues are in
volved that must appeal to patriotic, am
bilious and high-minded youth. To sup
port one ticket means that they give their
voice for commercial integrity; 1t means
that they would have their Nation do its
duty by the wards which fate has thrown
into it's hands for protection and safekeep-
ing; it means that they would have their
government so conduct its affairs that no
other nation could accuse it of other than
fair dealing. II means, in short, that they
vote to sustain the national honor in all
respects; that they approve of financial
honesty and of the present proud standing
of their country among the other nations
of the world
To vote for this, the Republican ticket,
means, too, that the foolish cry of i'm
perialism' signifies nothing to them. but
that they see in an expansion of territory
merely an inevitable growth of the great
Republics power and glory; 1t means that
these young men are glad of the record
of their army and navy and unwilling to
dim their great fame by giving authority
to a man whose promise is to discredit
them.
To vote for the other ticket is to advo-
cate the opposite of all this; it is to up
hold commercial dishonesty, to disregard
the Nations pledges, TO close the door to
legitimate business opportunities. to shame
the Nation in the face of the world, to
weaken il where il is now strong. Every
instinct of honor and patriotism must re-
volt at this Young men who love their
country and who hope for success and
prosperity for themselves surely cannot
vote for Bryan.

Readers of the Sentinel are being treated
to some valuable political information
nowadays. Yesterday they were informed
on one page that "advices received from
each precinct chairman in Indiana will give
q. 900 plurality for Bryan and Stevenson.
On another page. in stating that "a stanch
old Democrat from Franklin county pre-
dicted that Bryan would carry Indiana by
90 600 majority, it was added:
Franklin is one of the rock-ribbed Demo
cratic counties of the State and always
goes for the Democratic ticket by from
1000 TO 5000 This year. by reason Of the
increase in the Democratic German vote of
the county ii is liable TO roll up a figure
anywhere from 5000 to 10000.
In 1896 Franklin county gave Bryan 1.0S4
majority, and i'm the State election two
years ago ii gave a Democratic majority
of go AS the total vote of the county two
years ago was only 1858 it is not probable
that the Democratic majority this year will
be from 5000 to 10000. That sort of politi-
cal information tallies pretty we'll with
