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

Sept. i, according to a 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. 1t
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 communicated with him directly or indi-
rectly at Oyster Bay or anywhere else. AS
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 stateInents-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 defines
the word:
"Lie-1, A FALSE STATEMENT
MADE WITH THE PURPOSE OF
DECEIVING! an intentional untruth;
falsehood; the utterance by speech or
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 well
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 monosyllable
which is just now under discussion.

WHY RlL,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 it's people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
it sort of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there is a drputh
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
q 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 bio au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did WE'LL
i'll opening the Republican campaign at
Marion, Kan, Sept. /, to remind his au-
ditors Of the change that had come over
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry, whats
the matter with KansasT Happily he
was able to proclaim, if not from the
house tops, at least to the telegraph OPP
orators for dissemination throughout the
nation that "All's well in Kansas
Swiftly he drew the picture of the con-
ditions as they existed eight years ago:
kansas was suffering from the effects
of Democratic administration. The in
terests of her agriculture languished Her
crops rotted in the field or We're market
ed at unremunerated prices" And much
more to the same effect. Then he point
ed to the prosperity of the present, with
out need to recapitulate the blessings
that good crops, good prices, good govern
ment and sound money showered upon
Kansas as from an eXhaustless urn.
During the last seven years" he said"
mo one has shared the prosperity which
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 S33,000,000 in 1895 to over $780,
100000 in 1908" As a matter of exact
record it might be well to say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
$50, 529, 4S7 in 1896 to $S4,055. 40, or
$50 per cent, while those Of the whole
country increased from $231,S2S, 339 to
$40, 649, 702, or slightly under 1874 per
cent.
Would the reader know how all this
wonderful prosperity came to Kansas?
II was through her own industry stimu-
lated and protected by the sound econ
omic and monetary policies of the Re-
publican party.
In 1895 corn on the farms of Kansas
was bringing IS cents bushel; last year,
according to the report Of the Depart
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1904-09-15

ment of Agriculture, it brought SO cents
or exactly double as much.
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 1885 the price of oats on the Kan
sas farm was II cents; last year it was
30-a case where 80 cents was joke
which the kansan appreciated clear
down to his boots
During, this period freight rates on
wheat per 100 pounds from Atchison.
Kan, to Chicago were reduced from "A
to 10 cents, and on rye, barley, corn and
oats from 20 to Is cents.
In 1895 the revenue of the railways
per passenger per mile in the territory of
which Kansas is the center was 2.275
cents; in 1902 it had fallen to 2.236
cents. In the same period the railroad
revenue from freight in the same terri
tory had fallen from LII cents per ton
per mile to 0.97S cents.
There are good times in Kansas be-
cause of good government, good crops,
good prices, increasing manufactures and
declining rates for transporting the fruits
of all kinds of industry to the markets
of the world; and when there are good
times in Kansas there is little occasion
for discomfort throughout the rest of the

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

New York Evening Post, July /, 1909
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
ings i'll Georgia as 'our next President
will not ruffie his judicial calm. Like
the rest of us, he has seen too many next
Presidents 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 a 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 on the question
which is rapidly becoming the leading ma
tional issue?
We mean, of course, the whole ma tier
of abridged suffrage, denied citizenship,
refusal of equal treatment before the
law, and the recrudescence of slavery az
affecting our negro population. The
Southern papers are full of it. and de-
handing that the South be ''let alone
in its challenge of human rights and dis
regard of the constitution. Edward NJ
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to go its
own way. But can a 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.

of Course Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of Office after the death of
not be candidate for President in 1904
President Roosevelt has never made a
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
is outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics of the man. He
makes no promises he does not intend to
keep, and he keeps such as he makes
The silly story started by Hill had no
foundation in fact, and it is really not
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it, except that it once
more marks the character of Hill

lverage wages Of farm laborers In the
United States.
Per six months

1t will be perceived that the average
rate paid in the United States in 1902
for six months is within SLIGO of the
maximum rate paid to the best farm
hands in Great Britain in May, 1904, and
almost double the minimum paid second
class men.
The figures of our Department of Ag-
rculture, moreover, apply only to those
laborers hired by the year or season. the
rates where the engagement is by the
day are very much higher, being 80
cents per day, with board, and $1.13
without, in 1902, against SO cents with,
and 81 cents without board, in 1894.
This would make the pay, with board,
in 1894. average $94.50 for half year
of $50 days, while the average compen-
sation of the American farm laborer paid
by the day in 1902 would be $133.5O
for the six months, with board
But statistical averages, valuable as
they are in rejecting the general condi-
tions, are elusive and tantalizing things
when they attempt to cover the rate Of
wages in an occupation like agriculture,
which, including employers and employ
ed, numbers at least 100000 persons
over 10 years of age and upwards of ev
cry age, color and sex. The American
farm laborer knows what wages he re
ceives, and he can compare it with what
is paid in England, and greatly to his
own satisfaction.
He also knows that the above aver
ages i'll the United States for 1894 and
1902 fairly though family reflect the
difference between his industrial eondi-
ton during the last Democratic national
administration and now. And in Novem-
Der he will not vote for any party whose
success would foreshadow a return to
the conditions of 1894 and 1895.

The general prosperity the country has
enjoyed under Republican administration
during the last seven years has profted
the farmer as much if not more than any
other one class. The farmers know it,

FARM WAGES.
Figures as to Rates Paid in En=1and
and tho United States.

The August Labor Gazette. a govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board of Trade. gives an inter-
esting account Of the half-yearly agri-
cultural hirings at Whitsuntide, 1904, for
the counties of Cumberland Westmore-
land and North Lancashire which affords
an instructive view of the rates paid
farm hands in England. The official re-
port prepared for the department states
that the supply of male farm servants
was fairly plentiful, owing partly to
slackness of employment in other indus
tries but that wages showed a down
ward tendency in the case of men, but
women were scarce and their wages
were well maintained
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
Best men Observation-Disclosures So. 90 to $4,000
Second class men. .......... 5000 to 1900
Youths and boys ........... 1000 to 5000
Best women ............... $500 to 1900
Second class women and
girls .......... .......... 20.00 to 5000
These rates have been slightly increas-
ed in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
Of S. per pound, but they afford a clear
and authoritative exhibit of what British
farm hands are receiving by which every
intelligent American farm hand can COM
part the wages he receives.
Without knowing the number of men
employed in each class and at varying
rates therein it is, of course, impossible
to arrive at an average rate of compensa-
ton. But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest of the
second-class men it is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive of youths and boys lin Great
Britain cannot be much, if any, above
$3.50 year, while the average for wom-
en- would be somewhere around 500.
We have no similar figures for the
United States, but in a recent bulletin
entitled Wages of Farm Labor in the
United States" issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the figures of the
average monthly wages Of farm laborers
in this country are given. Multiplied by
six, to arrive at the half yearly rate,
they furnish the following:
Average wages of farm laborers in the
