The Ethics of Clothes.
Making.

The great majority OF clothes weareTs know
little, if anything, of the value per yard OF
coto, of the price and quality of trimmings. of
the regulation of fair days wages for cutter,
tailor and salesman. Each one of these it, ms
is an portant factor for good or evil, use or
abuse, according to the merchant who ANAL
gamates material and Iabtr into a stock of
clothing.
Buyers would do we'll to weigh their dollars
against the business morals of dealers, nd
see that they obtain just balances of value
before throwing them into the purchasing
scale.
1t is desirable to know that all hose te ~.
nicaiities hidden between material and Iininq
are in the right place and Of the right quality,
and that OILY a fair profit is being paid.
Failing in your knowledge of tailoring, The
next best thing is TO pin your faith TO firm

satisfaction.

DESPERATE RING DECEPTION.

DESPERATE RING DECEPTION.
It is easy to assimilate the fact that a
lot of ringsters who have conspired to
defeat a man for a nomination will do
any dirty work possible to prevent h:e
election.
We have a case in point.
The ringsters are circulating the report
that the Peoples Ticket was made u
prior to the caucuses of July IA.
A dirtier lie could not be told. We
say to those Republicans upon whom
this deception is attempted: If this ring
statement is true, it can be proved. Now,
see when you get the proof. The stuff
can be disproved by dozens of the best
men in the county.

RING ESTIMATES.

The editor of the ring organ is 90
crammed with the spirit of falsehood and
deceit that the truth, if there is any in
him, has very little chance to escape his
lips.
The utter disregard for truth and de-
csucy which characterized the ring outfit
in their preliminary canvass crops out
continually from the gas-pipe of this
Bossed Shepard. He came back to Wa
Keeney from the school house in school
district 81, and stated that only five men.
except those from Wa-Keeney, were at
the meeting. We happen to know that at
least eleven voters who live in Ogallah
township were present. For the proof Of
This, We refer TO every man who wasthere.

SHARON SPRINGS Leader: One day
last week little Albert Halsey, the eight
year old son of Samuel Halsey who lives
near Goose Greek, while herding some
horses attempted to drive colt while
riding another horse. The colt kicked
him at the lower portion of the calf of the
leg, completely severing the perrenius
muscle, making an incision upwards
fully ten inches long and kicking him
from the horse he was riding. He was
four miles from home and one and a half
miles from the nearest house, which he
started for, dragging his wounded leg.
The lady living at this house, seeing him
coming, went out and.met him and helped
him to her house. From there he was
sent home and DR.. Hayes was sent for,
and at last accounts little Albert was i'm
proving as fast as could be expected un-
der the circumstances.

OAKLEY Opinion. Sept. %: Sheriff
Perryman passed through here Tuesday
afternoon on his way to Hays City. he
had in custody Douglas Lamb, of Russell
Springs, who had been found guilty o:
selling liquor. The sheriff had given him
leave to remain over night unguarded
with his family. In the morning he was
not to be found, and it cost Mr.. Perryman
$50 bill to get him.

A bit Of advice: When ring-
ster, knowing you to be squarely In
favor of the Peoples Ticket, offers
to buy your influence, take his
money. The ringster will have no
ground for kicking when he learns
that you have voted the sentiment
Of your soul. This idea of a big
commercial vote lying around loose
in Trego county is not one which
we endorse. A man who will sell
his vote would sell his wife or child if
he were to run across an opportu-
nifty. A man who will offer to pur-
chase a vote is a scoundrel, who, as
far as the safety Of free government
is concerned, would better be be-
hind prison bars than running at
large in Kansas. Again we utter a
disclaimer to there being any such
a number of commercial votes in
Trego county as to shape the COM
ing election. Upon this ground, we
predicate the proposition that the
election of the Peoples Ticket is
assured.

THE LATEST,

Just before going to press, we are
enabled to see Thursdays Republi-
can.
IF it's contents Of this week were
boiled down in presentable shape,
they would read:
"We don't care if there were ly-
ing and buying by Tilton's enemies
in the preliminary canvass. He had
no business to belong to the Repub-
lican party in this county if he did
not want to be lied out of any po-
litical standing"
We agree with the Republican up
on one point. We want the people
to attend the Peoples rallies.

tones. Yes!

order to make them hold swill the next

this is great note for Jim to sound from

You may think we are getting
mild-mannered when we compare
these ringsters in Wa-Keeney to
birds. All Of us have seen birds
futter along the road to attract the
attention Of the passer-by from
their young broods. This is cum
ming. These ringsters are cunning,
too. They flutter about first here,
then there-seening to make a terri
bic hellabaloo. This is to attract
the attention of our voters from
the main issues in this canvass,
which are these: Was Tilton lied
out of the Republican nomination?
Did he deserve a reelection? Can
his official record be successfully
assailed? Upon the answers to
these questions the Peoples move
in this county must stand or fall.
Now, are not these ringsters to be
compared fairly with the cunning,
fluttering birds?

much now as the ''old man of the
sea- would be in splitting in the
ocean to food the continents. Capt.
Hanna followed Mr.. Heilig in some
remarks which were calculated to
extract tears from the empty seats
in the room. He said he would
be willing to withdraw from
the field if it would unite the Re-
publican party in this county. The
captain is friend Of ours, and too
aged for us to instruct in politics. But
will say to some Of his younger
friends that if they had just thought
Of this same pious idea at some of
the almost namelessly-numerous
secret meetings which they and the
captain had last spring and summer,
when their job was being fixed for
firing upon the people a full-sized
slate in the shape Of a county ticket,
minis Of anguish might have been
spared them. The captain is safe in
his lamenting. He knows his ring
friends would not consent to his
withdrawal. They would rather
see the Republican party in this
county buried full forty fathoms
deep than entertain for moment
such proposition!
W. E. Saum is one of the sturdi-
est men in Trego county. He be-
came acclimated here, and had the
time to form some warm friendships,
before being nominated for an Of
flee. Then when he was nominated,
it was at the hands Of the people.
This was not case Of one man
going to him, and naming him for
his successor.
A little boy at the Peoples rally
at Wilcox school house, after the
meeting had adjourned, said in a
conversational tone pitch, ''Hurrah
for Hanna" Bossed Shepard takes
it up, and says the meeting gave
three cheers for Captain Hanna
Such is the desperation of the ring
cause that the ringsters grab at
floating spider webs. and try to
manufacture them into sawlogs!
Let your conscience shape your
vote!
Bossed Shepard is splitting wind
at a terrible rate since finding that
the charges Of Tilton against the
ring outfit are backed by proof.
He now wants to argue concerning
the effect Of the charges. In other
words, after having been mired, he
wants the 'old wads'' to help him to
founder out. They will, but the
time and the methods will be Of
their own naming.
Frank Campbell is an educated
man and rustler. He will make
an excellent superintendent Of pub
lie instruction.
It is just month from to-day
until the election. The Wa-Keeney
ringsters wish it were different.
They think that if the election was
to come off in 1900 they might see
enough "old wads'' out Of the
county to give themselves showing!
An obstreperous member or two
Of the ring outfit has it in for US
because we have declined = some
times possibly not very respectfully
to be tool Of the outfit. We
submit now whether this is a dis
qualification for holding Office in or
for this county. Have we stood at
all times by the people of Trego
county? This is the question.
Your answer will be given at the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1888-10-06

Bossed Shepard reports almost
hourly the conversion Of some
"old wad' to the ring cause. It is
always so in desperate emergencies.
The Mormons keep the report cir
culated that the people Of the coun-
try are rallying to their cause, and
that their triumph over the general
government is only question Of
time. The ability to whistle in
going through graveyard in the
night is some consolation anyway!
