TWO FAMOUS QUESTION:

William Allen White. in Judge.
 What" asked Margot of the re- porters the other day, Ifs Kansasg' which was rather an unfair question. what" asked Pontius Pilate, "is truth?' and philosophers and seers have been trying to answer him for two thousand years. It Is no wonder he did not wait for the answer.
 MarEot has raised an equally un- answerable question. Kansas seems to be a state. It has the general shape of a rectangle, 400 miles long and 200 across. The census gives 1t a quarter less than 100000 people with an unbelievably large per capita wealth. and commendably even dis- tribution of the wealth. The thing looks simple enough, and offhand one would say that Kansas is one of tho IS states of the American union. But those are only outward aspects of tho case The answer Is not 50 simple as that Kansas is . state of the union. but 1t Is also a state of mind. . neurotic condition, psychological phase, a symptom, indeed something undreamt of in your philosophy, an inferiority complex against the tricks and the manners of plutocracy- social, political and economic.
 Kansas Is the Mother Chipton, the Madame Thebes. the Witch of Endor and the low barometer of the na- tion. When anything Is going to happen In this country. it happens first in Kansas. Abolition. prohibi- ton, populism. the. Bull Moose, the exit of the roller towel. the appsar- ance of the bank guarantet.
