In 1895 the price Of wheat on the Kan
sas farm was 81 cents per bushel; last
year, according to the same authority,
it was II cents.
In 1895 the price of oats on the Kan
sas farm was II cents; last year it was
30-a case where 80 cents was a Joke
which the Kansan appreciated clear
down to his boots
During this period freight rates on

oats from 20 to 16 cents
In 1895 the revenue of the railways

WHY ALL'S WELL IN KANSAS.
1t Is Because of Sound Money and the
Protective Policy.

Few people realize how or why the
condition of Kansas is watched with
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States.
The fact is indisputable that there is
something about it's climate, the mer-
curial disposition Of its people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
it a sort of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything ser-
Gus the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there is drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be a mighty
thirst in all the region west Of the Mis-
sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
wide berth, the fairness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason for rejoicings and content.
When Providence frowns on Kansas
the heart of the nation is usually sorrow
full for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest Of us generally bid au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did well,

has come to the country in a fuller de-
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
he Illustrated the prosperity Of the State
by the increase in her bank deposits
from $50, 100000 in 1895 to over $780,
100000 in 1908" AS a matter of exact
record it might be we'll to say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
S30529,4S7 in 1896 to $S4,O55, ITO. or
$50 per cent, while those of the whole
country increased from 1921, S2S, $50 to
$54O, 649, 7O2, or slightly under 1874 per

NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
An "Evening Post" Opinion of Judge
Parker

(New York Evening Post, July 1, 1909
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
ings in Georgia IS ''our next President"
Will not ruffie his judicial calm. Like
the rest of us, he has seen too many next
Presidents a year before election.
They usually swarm like grasshoppers
in July before the nominating conven-
ton. But the Judge will be subjected
in his Georgia address to pretty sharp
test Of his fitness for President, next
time or ever. Will he have the courage
to speak a direct and wholesome word
to the people of the South Oh the question
which is rapidly becoming the leading ma
tional issue?
We mean, of course, the whole matter
of abridged suffrage, denied citizenship,
refusal of equal treatment before the
law, and the recrudescence of slavery, as
affecting our negro population. The
Southern papers are full of it, and de-
handing that the South be ''let alone
in it's challenge Of human rights and dis
regard of the constitution. Edward M
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to go it's
own way. But can man named as
''our next President" agree to such a
local notification Of national laws? IF
he can, he is not fit to be President next
year or any year.

PLAIN ENGLISH.
1t Comes from Oyster Bay and Applies
to the New York World.

Sept. l, according to newspaper dis
patch of that date, Secretary Loeb gave
out typewriter statement DENYING a
story printed in the New York World
to the effect to j. Pierpont Morgan has
recently held conferences with Mr.
Roosevelt concerning the campaign Il
is as follows:
The story in the World about the visit OF
Mr.. Morgan to the President at Oyster Bay
IS lie from beginning to end Neither
Mr.. Morgan nor the New York representa-
tive of Mr.. Morgan has seen the President
or communicai ed with him directly or indf-
rectly at Oyster Bay or anywhere else. As
Tar as the PRESIDENT or anyone around him
knows, Mr.. Morgan has been nowhere near
Oyster Bay in yacht or otherwise.
One paper comments upon the unusual
use of the word lie" in statements given
out by the President There are times
when only one word in the English lam
guage will serve, and President Roose-
welt is an authority on English. There
is only one word to fifty and accurately
characterize certain statements-such
statements as that Of The World which
the President was contradicting.
A lie, according to Webster, is "a
criminal falsehood; A FALSEHOOD
UTTERED FOR PURPOSES OF De
CEPTION; AN INTENTIONAL VIC
LATION OF TRUTH"
The Century Dictionary thus defnes
the word:
Lie, A FALSE STATEMENT
MADE WITH THE PURPOSE OF
DECEIVING! an intentional untruth;
falsehood; the utterance by speech OF
act of that which is false WITH IN
TENT TO MISLEAD OR DELUDE-
2. THAT WHICH IS INTENDED OR
SERVES TO DECEIVE OR MIS-
LEAD; ANYTHING DESIGNED OR
ADAPTED TO PRODUCE FALSE
CONCLUSIONS OR EXPECTA
TIONS."
There can be no doubt that the Presi
dent used exactly the right word.
1t would be like carrying Goals to New
castle to explain to our friends the Dem
ocrats the meaning and inner cussedness
of the word Gle" Past grand masters
in the art, they need no definitions or
fine drawn distinctions. But Republi
cans and independents are not SO weE
up in this branch Of human activity, and
SO it is WELL perhaps, to call their atten-
ton to the latest proper and desirable
use Of the small English monosyilable
which is just now under discussion.

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
Sale of Philippine Bonds to a Western
Bank, the Highest Bidder = Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate Riddled.

The fourth installment of the $1,000
600 of Philippine bonds was taken at
101.41 by the Western National Bank
of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that a
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West is rapidly gaining
in financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared to bid
for such a large issue Of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that it could ind
broad market for them amongst local
investors. The old financial problem Of
the West was to get money from the
East. The present problem Of the West
is to find good channels for the invest
ment of its own money.
By a transaction such as this we find
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors Of the Philippine Islands. In other
words, they are loaning some of the
fruits Of their own prosperity under Re
publican rule to help along the prosperity
of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
eminent over the Philippines gives to
lives and property, trade and industry,
makes the credit of the islands good, so
that investors are quite willing to pay a
premium for Philippine bonds. If the
United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, it is a ques-
ton whether the islands would be able
to float bonds even at discount, hence
many needed improvements for the ISL
ands could not be carried out. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
in the election this fall, the owners of
Philippine bonds would doubtless see a
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Democratic Deal.
1t is the Republican policy in the case
of necessary issues of bonds, like the war
loan of 1898 and this Philippine bond
issue, to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
pie an equal chance, and all sections of
the country an equal chance, to secure
them for investment and to realize what
ever profit their ultimate appreciation
may bring. Under the Democratic plan,
as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration, the government ignored
the small investors, and had no use for
any financial institution west of Wall
street.
For instance, on Feb. IS, 1895, the
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
signed contract with a New York syn
dictate for the selling of 400 four
per cent bonds. These. bonds the syndi-
cate sold to the public for $50, 116, 244
clearing profit for itself, out of the
transaction, of nearly 100000. The
price at which the bonds We're sold to
the syndicate was equivalent to 1O41a,
when the existing United States four per
cent bonds, with less than half as long
a time to run, were bringing III on the
market. The syndicate dictated to the
government the terms of the deal. ONE
OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT SYN
DICATE, AUGUST BELMONT, Is
