EAST AND WEST IN FERMENT

There are as many insurgents in the
| east as in the west" said Ewing Her
bert. editor Of the Hiawatha, Kan,
World, who is now in this city, IF by
an insurgent one refers to those who
are dissatisfied without sufficient reason
with things as they are.
THE ideas Of the downtrodden and OPP
pressed farmer of ten years ago now
| appear in the minds of town and city
men who pay more for necessities. When
the farmers had to sell their produce at
| low prices they were sure something
was wrong. Now that produce brings
high prices the consumer says something
| Is wrong. In self-defense, the farmer
finds fault with the prices Of the articles
he buys.
Wrong Created by Telling It.
| eff both producer and consumer are
satisfied that something is wrong, why,
then, something will be wrong. The
many can't stand the pressure OF dis
content The many can't weigh the
| theory of supply and demand.
1.-The people Of Kansas are overwhelm-
| ed by material prosperity. But there is
some confusion in political way because
. few Select Angels of Light, assuming
to possess most Of the intelligence and
honesty Of purpose In public affairs. insist
| that might and wrong prevail, instead of
| the weak and right. Neither the weak nor
mighty are infallible.
1.-THE governor of our state is one OF
the great leaders of the Fault Finders
League. William Allen White is his press
agent. The governor finds fault with the
President of our country and with the
| federal courts. The alleged reforms he
stands for are his own and not those Of
! his party.
Republicans Accept Challenge.
"Air White dared those who disagreed
with the comparison governor to oppose
the governors candidacy for second
! term with a republican party candidate.
The dare was accepted.
"A great conference was held at the
| state capital. attended by at least ten re-
publican delegates from each of the one
hundred counties in the state.
Thomas Wagstaff. republican, was
governor, and the republican national
platform was Endorsed and the President
of our country upheld by resolutions
adopted with cheers.
1.-The governors party perfdy was de-
nounced and the waste and extravaganza
of his administration exposed and at
tackled. He is held accountable for the
opposition to the reelection OF repub-
lican candidates for Congress. He is a
man of great wealth, and is supposed to
have opened his barrel to pay the cost OF
the campaign of those opposed to the SUI
premacy OF the republican party organ
ization in state and nation.
Republican or Democrat.
1.-THE result is certain to be that Kansas
will continue to be republican or 1t will
become democratic. Any loss to the party
organization means gain to the demo-
cratic organization
I'm each congressional district there is
a republican candidate and a fauit-fnding
candidate.
In the districts Of Representative Muir
dock and Madison republican candidates
have not yet been announced. 1t is pos
sible that, in response to the invita- ton
of Mr.. White, Mr.. Murdoch will have
opposition. Mr. Madison has not yet
tinuance of republican power. but If he
should SO declare himself doubtless
republican will be selected to oppose
him.
The republicans Of Kansas are for
the right, and they will not vote at the
polls for those who obstruct and de-
strOy. Rather, they prefer those who
| construct and upbuild for the general
good.
East and West Need Each Other.
THE east and the west should not be
dlVloeo py the many id1se ISSUES. LUG
Feast needs the produce Of the west and
| the west needs the produce OF the1east.
Neither ean sell at high prices and buy
at low pfices.
Fair prices for all, with work for all
who will work, will be continued wealth
and happiness. The injustice Of much
faultfndng-the conceit Of those who dis
turb general welfare by their lamenta-
tions-has caused a growing belief that
the insurgent doctors who seek to cure
the public ills are merely quacks prescrib-
ing the nostrums Of the discarded DR..
Bryan.
land once that belief is clear-as it
will be-those who have wandered from
party allegiance will return to stay with
out discomfort for another decade
