with Henry Allen, governor of Kan sas. It is not to be supposed that he IS afflicted as other Kansans have bean, notably. John Brown and Carrie Ma tion But unquestionably something Is wrong. Sometime ago he criticized the war department because Kansas troops lost heavily in the Argonne forest. Off, ficial figures removed all the sensa- tional element from the governors diatribe. Quite recently he charged the southern farmer, in his scheme to reduce cotton acreage, was preparing to traffic 'in the misery of the world.
 Allen might be engaged in a sly campaign for the presidency, or he might feel himself called upon to point out the evil, real or imaginary. which exists and is thought to exist, or he might be fascinated in the coining of rhetorical phrases At any rate, he has found no one in the south to agree with his utterances regarding the southern farmer. No one? Just one. That one is McI.ane Triton, banker, of Peu City.

We at tempt to refute Aliens argument that the wheat grower is industriously pro- ducing in as heavy quantity as possi- hle by referring to the guarantee of the government whereby the western farmer will be paid s226 per bushol. But it must be remembered that save for the fixaton of this price, the west ern farmer would have secured s per bushel for the duration of the war While now he is receiving more than his wheat Is worth he is getting back a portion of the money which might have been his but for price fixation when the market was etamoring for wheat at any price"
 The argument of Triton appears rather weak. but let's let it go at that, for he's mighty good fellow
