Stick Closer to Your Lessons.

OGhILAb, AAS., Ott. o,
To the Editor of the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD.
DEAR SIR:-I notice in the Ogallah
items of the little Republican of last week
that its Ogallah young man, after contin-
uing in labor for three long months. los
ing lots of sleep and much of his very
valuable time, has succeeded in giving
birth to another lot of lies about the do
ings of Mr.. Robb at the Forestry Station;
and though he could not screw his cour-
age up to the point of signing his name
to il, it surely" bears the earmarks of a
certain young Christian friend of mine
who but short time ago came to my
Office and begged me to use my vote and
influence in the convention to elevate
him to the position of county superinten-
dent of public instruction, and did not
succeed, but did succeed later, 1 under
stand, by much application, in getting a
third grade certificate to teach school in
Trego county. Now then, while I was
greatly tempted to take the advice of
OuihS, tuo6 1OOSc 1lDciS Ouglb u UG
passed by in silence and contempt" I
feel it duty to give the boy little
good advice. I am much older than you,
sonny. Take the advice OF man old
enough to be the father of much older
and brighter boys than you. Stick
closer to your lessons and your profess
sion for some years yet. If you must
lie about somebody, try it on somebody
nearer your own age. Do not cast your
tiny boat into the maelstrom OF dirty
politics until it has become better
And above all. remember your
Sunday school lesson: 800 not bear false
witness against your neighbour" then,
perhaps, you may succeed, in the sweet
bye and bye, in becoming man, in
passing better examinations. and In the
and, perhaps, in saving your little soul.

THE FLY Speakers.

You see those fly specks at each
side of the column. They are the
devious warbling of the ringsters'
campaign. The solid central figure
you see that. 1t represents the
size of the real issue of the cam
paign as compared with the fly speek
canvass of the ringsters. The fly
specks are made to draw our atten-
ton from the central figure. The
central figure, or the real issue, is
the question whether small nest of
ringsters in Wa-Keeney, consisting
principally of Captain Hanna, S. J.
Osborn, A. H. Blair, S. R. Cowick
F. II. Conger and Pierce Metz, shall
have their secretly concocted slate
endorsed at the polls by the think
ing voters Of Trego county. The
fy-speek-ring campaign is conducted,
as we have said, on the principle of
calling off your attention from the
main issue. The points sought to be
made by the fly speakers in their
campaign aggregate the little end of
nothing whitfield down to a fine
point. They consist of such degrad-
ing rot as: 1.-THE forestry business
was worked up before Tilton went
to Topeka, and he had not much
work to do in getting the bill
passed" Why do not they, in the
interest Of decency, state at the
same time who did the work in be-
half of forestry legislation. Our
people know who did it, and can not
be deceived. They know the ring
outfit never assisted it for moment.
"We deplore the split in the party"
says the ring candidate for repre-
sentative, Why, then, did he take
q hand in making split? Did our
people owe him the nomination
which he secretly planned to obtain?
All these fly specks will not blind
the peoples eyes to the main issue.
They will see to burying the fly
speakers on November 6. The
grave will be deep enough to cover
for all time the ring-rule business in
this county!
