The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1886-07-02

While recognizing Judge Stillwell's
thorough regard for right and justice
i'm every thing he does, the REGISTER
regrets that he has felt called upon to
again stay proceedings in the League
cases upon the mere presumption that
the Attorney General will bring suit in
accordance with the recommendation
Of Secretary Lamar. The provision
with reference to bonds hardly helps
the matter. 1t is a notorious fact that
not one in ten of them can give salts
factory bond. Our candid opinion Is
that few of them will even attempt it.
They have simply secured again what
they have been securing these many
years-tielay and another crop.
Why is it that it is practically impos-
sible to hold republican primary
election for republicans only: Why Is
it that we never yet held a republican
primary that some democrat did not
attempt to cast his vote? We can't
answer these questions, yet everybody
knows they point to fact. In all our
experience we never knew a republic
can to offer to vote at a democratic
primary. Yet ut every republican
primary there are always some demo-
Gratis so lost to all sense Of political and
personal honor rs to attempt to cast
their vote and have it counted. There
were votes cast at the republican pri-
mary in lola last week by men who
never voted q straight republican tick
ct in their lives and never expect to.
They simply lied in order to crafty
their itching to NEEDLE in affairs that
did not concern them. But low down
as these men are, the republican toll
ers'' who run them in and stood spon-
sor for them, are i'm like condemnation
They all belong in the class that make
politics the dirty pool it is. They are
4 disgrace to both parties.
The A. o. U. w. Lodge OF this place
went to Colony on Monday evening in
response to an invitation from the
Lodge of the order of that place, to wit
ness the exemplificatiOn of the unwrit-
ten work by G. NJ. w. They went in
carriages and took the band with
them, Arriving in Colony they found
a bountiful Misunderstanding them, af-
ter discussing which they retired to the
Lodge room and witnessed the secret
work. They returned home along
towards morning in q more or less d.
lapidated condition, but all rejoicing
that they had "been there" and all
speaking TN the highest terms of Col
ony's hospitality. The following

In pursuance of the editorial prerO-
gatiye to suggest plans for other peo-
ple to carry out, the REGISTER begs
leave to submit a scheme by which it
thinks a course of lectures may be Sc
cured next winter. It is generally con-
ce,led that this is much to be desired,
and vigorous efforts have been made
i'm the past to bring it about, but with
out avail. Our suggestion is to have
the lectures furnished by home talent.
There are at least a dozen gentlemen
and who knows now many 1adies?-in
lola who could entertain an audience
most acceptably; and we are sure that
there would he no difficulty In getting
