OBSERVATIONS
(By the <Cornf1eld PhilOsopher)
THE REAL ISSUE.

The kept press thru great glaring
headlines try to frighten the people
with the Red Menace" to keep their
minds off the real danger that now
confronts us. The doings of the Grim
inal poor are dished up: in the most
minute detail while the antics Of the
criminal rich are CLOSED over and
carefully concealed. want to- give
the reader few statistics taken from
public documents :. based largely on
sworn admissions of the favored class.
Five per cent of the people own ap-
proximately two-thirds of the wealth
of this country while two-thirds Of the
people,, all of them belonging to the
working: class, own only five per cent
of the nations wealth. In this single
statement may be found the underly-
ing. causes for all Of this unrest and
discomfort now prevailing the land.
The average wealth Of the favored class
averages more than 5000 600 to- each
family, while the greater class have

and all. This means greatly increased
passenger and freight rates which the
people must pay.
An Issue in Campaign
The attempted holdup of the busi-
ness interests of the country has made
the transportation question the real
issue of the coming campaign. The
great railway brotherhoods have unan-
imously declared for continued oper-
alton by the government. The Ma
tional Federation of Labor has taken
the same stand with equal unanimity
and these organizations have been
supported by the Grange, the Farmers
Union. The American Society of Equi-

The Farmers Alliance knocked out
the free pass system. The railway
magnates who had issued some eight
billions of watered stock, which they
wanted confirmed and validated, in
other words, made worth 100 cents on
the dollar, took advantage of the sit
uation created by the great war to so
congest their business that Uncle Sam
had to take them over. and operate
them for the time being. Now that
the government has generously added
this eight billions of dollars to their
value the fat boys want the roads

Banks Find Relief From Strain on
Credit Now

The condition Of Kansas banks has
improved materially during the past
few weeks as a result Of the more
rapid movement OF grain, according
to L. A. Johnson, assistant bank COM
missioner.
reports to this Office indicate that
the strain on credit is greatly relev-
ed" he said yesterday. "There are
more cars moving and there is no
difficulty in getting them filed, not
withstanding reports Of the farmers
strike.
"The overwhelming Republican
victory ought to give the banks and
business generally, a greater feeling
of security. We welcome It as a
promise of stability"
Records Of the Industrial court
show that the car shortage on the
lines of the Union Pacific which,
few weeks ago was the most serious
In the state, has been relieved.
There were 1903 cars loaded on the
Union Pacific in Kansas west Of Sa-
lima Nov. 1. 146 Nov. 2 and 149 Nov.
8. Nov. 2 there were 600 more cars
enroute to those lines.
November Is beginning with a.
great advance over October. when
cars were loaded at the rate of forty
nine a day for the first twenty days
Of the month. In the entire month
Of October cars were loaded at the
rate Of about fifty-one a day. In
October last year. the daily rate Of
loading was about forty -four cars.

Won From Aggis hlgh School In Fast
Game Is 20 10

/
The Abilene high school football
team broke the jinx that has beer
lowering over their camp the past
few games and trounced the Aggis
high school team 10 to 10. In the
last two games the locals have played
they have been nosed out Of possible
victories by receiving the bad end Of
the breaks.
In the first quarter the local pro-
teges started things with a rush and
after six minutesN Of play forced the
ball over the line for a touchdown.
They missed the goal. After the ball
was again put into play they contin-
ued their aggressive tactics and sue
ceeded In crossing the goal second
time. They again missed goal.
Then Manhattan got busy and
made things quite disagreeable for
the Abilene pigskin chasers, carrying
the ball down the field by line plunges
and ends for touchdown. Munley
kicked goal.
The third quarter was see-saw
up and down the field, both teams
being held for downs several times
and forced to punt. Near the end OF
the quarter Oliver booted the ball be-
tween the crOssbars from the 35-yard
line for a field goal.
The final quarter proved to be the
best from the spectators standpoint
and was replete with passes, end runs
and line plunges for good gains ON
both sides. With but four minutes to
play Munley, Aggie quarter. kicked
a field goal from the 25-yard line.
For Abilene Barber played his usual
consistent game, and Reese and John
son were good ground gamers on the
offensive and broke up many Aggie
plays. For Manhattan Glover at right
half was easily the star and figured
in every play. In fact he is one Of
he best all-around players that has
been seen here in some time.
The lineup follows:
