Douglass Story Describes the
HeartacheS of Late zoos.
Then Needed Gospel "Raise
More Hell, Less COrn.''

Kansas, from her days of false
prophets. hot winds. drouths, panics.
Free Silver and Populism to those of
safe. sound and sane economic stan
dards and true development, is the
basis of a two and one-half page story
in the current issue of "The Nations
Business" by Archer Wall Douglas
1t is the second OF a series of feature
stories of the states from the Douglas
pen.
The Douglas story of Kansas is a re-
view Of the sorrow days and the joys
and blessings and prosperity which
followed the zero hours Of the late
90's when the state needed the gospel
to raise more he'll and less corn"
That was the crisis in Kansas. Doug
las asserts - that awful nightmare
from 1893 to 1S96-when the state
was discredited in the money markets,
when the man who owed more than he
could pay repudiated his notes and
when the ia mer burned his corn and
followed false hopes. Those were the
days when every farm was mortgaged
for more than land would bring on
the open market and when paper
from Kansas was at a discount every
where in the world and all of the
vagaries and decisions were credited
to the state.
New, Charming Kansas.

come a new and charming Kansas
with beauty and wealth and credit and
CULTURE. That narrative of the other
page Of Kansas progress covers most
of the two and one-half pages of the
story-after reference to the days of
distrust and near disgrace.
Douglas reviews at length the nat
ural resources of the state. coal, lead,
zinc, oil and other minerals. Then
there is the story of bumper wheat
crops. kaffir, corn, fat hogs. beef
steers red apples, silos, motor cars,
comfort, education-all growing out
of the test of fire of little more than
a quarter of a century ago.
Story of u Great Change.
1t is not just mere words that Doug
las puts into his story of Kansas. 1t
is the story of states sorrow and
heart aches and that moment of re-
Election when a sober second thought
leads to success and happiness and
prosperity. 1t is the story of a change
from the days of "Sockless" Jerry
Simpson and Mary Ellen Lease to the
days of common acceptance of starched
collars and tailored clothes, an elbow
rub with the rich and the near rich.
and a common demand for higher
education and the best that the world
provides.
The calm. dispassionate judgment of
the farmersNpow keeping Kansas safe
from socialistic crazes, Douglas asserts,
and the state which thirty years ago
was the laughing stock of the nation,
now offers leadership to the world.
No Room for Radicalism.
kansas was then. as now a COM
monwealth of farmers" Douglas writes.
land anarchy and social revolution
never get very far with a farmer. He
is a curious contradiction of radi-
calism as regards the social and econ
omtc problems which adversely affect
his welfare"
Wild craZes, Douglas point out, have
been supplemented by scientific study
of crops and soil conditions, of rain
fall and drainage. Out of it Kansas
has arisen to take her place in the
front rank of states of the nation.

Some time ago Miss Mccoy loaned
her $500 car to p friend in kentucky.
The friend purchased some whisky in

on the car as security. On the way

1t was turned over to the original

Miss Mccoy then sued the police
chief. She had no papers to prove her
