SAW AND WONDERED.
Senator John T. Chaney Visits Kansas
Wheat Belt.

Senator John T. CLANCY has returned
from a business trip through western
Kansas and he reports the wheat crop
even greater than the stories told of it.
1.-THE wheat crop is immense, said
Mr. CLANCY. 'At Larned they have
worked every day and Sunday and on
moonlight nights. Finally the stores
were closed and all able bodied clerks
went to work in the fields. William
Scott of that city looks after a great
deal of land for himself and for eastern
owners. He had 18 headers at work and
his expenses ran $500 a day. Headers
are being used for the reason that they
are cheaper and this year the straw is
very long. Saturday is settling up day
and beats Santa F'e pay day. This Is
the same story at other places all over
the state.
Land this year that will actually pro-
duce SIS an acre will not sell for So an
acre. Tenants are making enough from
their wheat crops to buy the land and
have money left People this year are
not borrowing but instead are paying
off their debts and those who are max
ing loans are making them temporarily
Money that is being loaned goes at a
low rate of interest. The best indica-
ton of good times is the sale of farm
lands at increased prices and the fact
that 95 per cent of lands sold go to
people in the state instead of outsiders
Land is generally sold to land owners
adjoining. This means that Kansas
farmers are using their surplus money
to add to their holdings. Four or five
years ago the sales that were made
were to people coming into the state"

THE TRUST QUESTION AN ISSUE

IFron Wanamaker's North American I
There are indications that the mana
gers of the Republican campaign are
disposed to treat the question of trusts
as a non-political matter and an issue
of no Importance to the people There
is an antitrust plank, brief. general and
somewhat indefinite, in the platform.
but in the speeches of notification and
acceptance at Canton not a word was
uttered about trusts; the subject was
carefully and significantly avoided.
This silence is made more significant
by Postmaster General Smiths declara-
ton that the trust question is purely a
business matter and not a political is
sue. 1t is a business matter, but so is
the currency question and so is the tar
iff, and il those are political issues the
trust question is a political issue of the
first magnitude.
The Republican party can no more
Eidetrack the trusts than the Democrats
can sidetrack silver in this campaign,
and it will make a grjevous mistake If it
attempts to dodge the issue. Why was
the trust plank put into the platform if
the question is not an issue in the cam
paign? Is it there for padding, for bun
combe or to give Mr.. Quigg a chance to
air his rhetoric?
ne 1CIlOEIcCy mas declared It's aII1-
tude toward the trusts and the Repub-
lican party will find it very necessary
before next November to meet that de-
claration with equally unequivocal
statements of what it proposes to do to
check the aggressions Of massed capt.
tai and bring the illegal combinations
known as trusts under reasonable con-
troll.
A few politicians may think they can
divert attention from this issue and
Juggle with the platform with impunity
but they mistake the temper of the peo-
pie and the depth of their interest in the
subject. The people are not asleep, and
they know very well that the abuse Of
corporate privilege is inimical to their
interests. They look to the government
for relief from present conditions
through legislation that shall curb the
rapacity of trusts and make them in
struments of Industrial development in
stead of trade restriction and oppres-
sion, and the party that fails to prom
Use that relief is likely to hear some
thing unpleasant when the returns come
in.
It will be wise for the campaign man
ayers to pull the trust question from
the sidetrack to the main line and hook
it to the train before the Mckinley ex-
press gets under full way and out of
sAght around the curve.

section of the country. He was about so
years of age. He was a graduate of
