ONLY WIND.

Not long ago one "W. 5. Radebaugh,
mayor of Iuka,'' proposed to deposit
with his bosom friend, j. j. ingalls,,
from $4,000 to 800, 900 to bet on the
republican candidates. 1t transpires
that the fellow could not raise 10000
to 1OO, 200 cents to save him from pur-
gatory, and that his letter was just Il
little bit of cheap bluff, such as is be-
ing INDUCED in daily by curb-stone
republican politicians throughout the
state. To show what kind of fellow
he is who has been SO anxious to depos-
it slathers of money to bet on the re-
publican combine, we copy the follow
ing from the Wichita Beacon of recent
date:
"W. S. Radebaugh, a merchant of
Iuka, Pratt county, who has been TAX
ing in the town for the past day or two,
has met with number of mishaps.
First he reported to a detective that he
had been robbed of $50 while asleep i'll
the Douglas Avenue hotel, but the
money was found in the possession of
friend and returned to him. Last
night Radebaugh started out to paint
the town. and engaged Risley's hack.
He occupied the hack all night and
when the driver told him the bill was
e1O the Iuka merchant refused to pay
it. For time fight was imminent.
but the bill was finally paid"

PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.

The republicans who are assailing
Mr.. Cleveland's vetoes of unlawful
and fraudulent pension bills may see
him yet called the soldiers special
friend before the campaign is over.
The howls of the reps over every veto
will concentrate great deal of atten-
tion upon the facts of the pension Of
flee and the private bills passed by con-
gross.
A letter from Washington mentions
the curious circumstance that when
Mr.. Cleveland vetoes pension bill the
author never asks to have it passed
over the veto. He never courts a pub
lie investigation of the evidence. The
vetoes have been for good reasons i'll
every case, and the president has been
ready to explain them.
During the last three years of repub-
lican rule 191 POI pension claims were
passed in the pension Office. During
| the three years of democratic rule 359,
452 claims were passed. The three
years of democratic rule have given
the soldiers $S4 zoo, 900 more than the
last three years of republican rule.
| Since Mr.. Cleveland took the chair
200 private pension bills have become
laws, while it took twenty-four years
of republican power to pass 1924.
General Black has reformed and vi
talized this Office, so that the searches
are completed in far less than the time
the republican lazy fashion used to
consume. More claims are examined
and the pensioner gets his money
sooner.
In all his utterances, public and pri-
vate, Mr.. Cleveland has shown a deep
interest in the ex-soldiers and has ia
vored generous recognition from the
government. His acts have sustained
his differences. He is entitled to the
gratitude of the men who are being
led by selfish politicians to crlticise his
pension record. Republican senators
and representatives have taken the OPP
portunity since Mr.. Cleveland took the
oath of Office to sneak i'll lot of
fraudulent and fimsy claims, with
the idea that if they became laws GER
tain constituents would get money
and be pleased, and if the president
vetoed them howl about enmity to
the soldiers could be raised. Every
body knows the carelessness with
which, under the name of courtesy,
members of both houses vote for these
private bills. The responsibility was
thrown upon the president and he met
it with the firm sense of responsibility
he has never lost for moment. The
country will applaud him and honest
soldiers will be first to extend COM
mendation.-K. G.. Times.

L. L. HUMPHREY is 4 clean man,
with good personal and political rec
ord. For that very reason he will not
be strong candidate for his party.
The old time schemers want timber
which they can handle in their own
way. and Humphrey is mot that kind
of people," There are a number of
bitterly disappointed candidates who
want no better chance than is at pres

The twilight organ of this city. whose
mission in life seems to he to lie about
the democratic party and furnish en-
ployment to the ''snake editor" says of
the union labor party:
1.-The disgruntled politicians that
run this new party have belonged i'll
their day and generation to all parties,
and failing to receive the reward they
expected in the way of official position,
they have started out on their own
hook. This party has more orators and
statesmen than any party extant.
They can talk longer and say less than
anybody. On financial questions they
know it all. They claim to belong to
the humble and poorer classes, and if
they practice what they preach they
will remain where they are. Like the
mugwumps, they are too pure to belong
to any party that won't keep them in
Office. They are a harmeless class ex-
cept with their mouths. They talk peo-
pie TO death while they mean well in
doing So"
Just what object the editor of that
paper can have in ridiculing this new
party which is endorsed by some of our
best farmers, we cannot see. But that
is the way with our organ grinder. No
one is sincere, or entitled to any re-
spect unless believing as Townsley
does politically, and all who believe
otherwise are not worthy of considera-
tiOn
