Bond Holders and Bread Winners: A Portrayal of Some Political Crimes Committed in the Name of Liberty
King, S. S.
S. S. King was a member of the Kansas City, Kansas, Bar Association. King was an ardent Populist, and the pamphlet details the causes of the harm done working people (laborers and farmers) by the wealthier classes and the economic system. He includes statistics from the Census Bureau, as well as an appendix with voting statistics in Kansas in 1890 and 1891. King offers some suggestions for changes to aid working people. The page opposite the inside title page contains information about the People's Party of Kansas. The pamphlet was published by the Arena Publishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts, and several pages reference other populist publications, some of which were written by Kansas authors. The text is the same as item # 207835 but there are differences in the pages before and after the main text.

A party of patches
Judge Magazine
This political cartoon drawn by Bernard Gilliam was copied from the satirical magazine Judge presents the Republican perception of the People's (Populist) Party. The artist depicts the People's Party as a hot air balloon made up of a patchwork of pieces, with each piece labeled with the name of the political organization or party that has been subsumed under the banner of the Populists. Some of the more recognizable "patches" include the Prohibition Party, the Greenback Party, the Farmer's Alliance, and the Knights of Labor Party. Inside the balloon's basket are two leading Populists from Kansas, William Peffer and "Sockless" Jerry Simpson.

Sketch map of Kansas. The land flowing with men and money
Mitchell, William Izott
William Izott Mitchell created this map while living in New York City. Mitchell apparently created the map for the amusement of his fellow members of the Kansas Society of New York City. The cartoon map pokes fun of Kansas history and culture (often through word play) and draws humorous parallels between Kansas and New York City. Prominent themes include Missouri-Kansas animosity, the underground railroad, temperance and prohibition, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, Quivera and early Kansas explorers, farmers and farming, tornadoes, women's suffrage, drought and grasshoppers, and miners and mining. The back of the map includes a partially obscured inscription that reads "W. Mitchell, Zoological Park, New York City." Mitchell was the Cashier (accountant) at the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo). He was at one time the President of the Kansas Society of New York. The undated map appears to be a fragment of a larger work but the whereabouts or existence of an additional fragment representing western Kansas is unknown.

Scott, Charles Anderson
In these memoirs Charles A. Scott, a Kansas State University graduate from Westmoreland, Kansas, describes his experience in the Division of Forestry, U.S. Department of Agriculture from 1901 to 1907. His 1901 survey team, led by Royal S. Kellogg of Fay, Kansas, recommended sites for forest reserves in Nebraska. They researched tree growth across the Great Plains, including the growth of Catulpa trees in Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt approved the recommended sites as the Dismal River, North Platte, and Niobrara Forest Reserves. Scott later served as State Forester and Professor of Forestry at Kansas State, Secretary of the Kansas State Horticultural Society, and State Director of the Shelterbelt Project.
