PREFACE.
These letters were written to the Hutchinson Daily News, and are printed in book form without revision. With this understanding the reader will kindly overlook inconsistencies and inaccuracies, which easily creep into what is only an impression and not a study. Any other mistakes are to be charged to the printer and proof-reader, who are likewise to be credited for the correct grammar and English which may be found in some places.
There is no excuse for the publication of these letters. No one is guilty except the writer, and he is responsible only to his conscience, which is not sensitive.
W. Y. MORGAN.
Hutchinson, Kansas, December 1, 1905.
To the
PEOPLE OF HUTCHINSON,
Who have stood for much from the same
source, and for whom there is no
relief in sight, this book is
respectfully dedicated.
