WHY AI.L'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.
'fhe fact is indisputa BILE that there is
| something about its 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 seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas il is GER

her neighbors. When there is a drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be q mighty

"r,d the cyclone and grasshopper give her

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
ful 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,
in 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, What's
the matter with Kansas Happily he
was able to proclaim. If not from the

ditions as they existed eight years ago:
kansas was suffering from the effects
of Democratic administration. The in
terests of her agriculture langnished Her
crops rotted in the field or were market

more TO the same effect. Then he point
ed to the prosperity of the present. with
out need to recapitulafe 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 fuller de-
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
he illustrated the prosperity OF the State
by the increase in her bank deposits
from $.}3.000,000 in 1895 to over $50
100000 in 1903" As a matter OF exact
record it might be well to say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
$50, J29, 4S7 in 1896 to $S4,0JJ. ITO. or
$50 per cent, while those of the whole
country increased from S231. S2S. 3:3g TO

NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
An "l>vcuing Post" Opinion of Judge
Parker.

(New York Evening Post, July !, 1903
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
ings in Georgia as "our next President"
will not rufile 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 c0nven-
ton. But the Judge will be subjected
in his Georgia address to a pretty sharp
test of his fitness for President. next
time c. ever. Will he have the courage
to speak a direct and wholesome word
10 the people of the South ON 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 'iet alone"
in its challenge of human rights ard dis
regard of the constitution. Edward NJ.
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to go it's
own way. But can a man NAMED as
'our next President" agree to such n
local notification of national laws? If
de can, he is not fit to be President next
year or any year.

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
Sale of Philippine Bonds to Western
Bank, the Higre,t Bidder - Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate RiddIed.


The fourth installment of the $1,000
600 of Philippine bonds was taken at
l01.41 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 bow 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 1t could find
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 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 10 pay
premium for Philippine bonds If the
United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, it is 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 ot
Philippine bonds would doubtless see
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Democratic Deaf.
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 a contract with a New York syn
dictate for the selling of So, 315,400 four
per cent bonds. These bonds the svndi-
cate sold to the public for 500. 1924,

almost double the minimum paid second

farm laborer knows what wages lac re-

is paid in England, and greatly to his
own satisfaction,

David B. Hill stated, in or. Of his

the oath of office after the death OF

not be candidate for President in 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made n

is Outspoken, fair and square These
are characteristics of the man. lie
makes no promises he does not intend TO
