A Fools Lament.

To the Editor OF the Republican
This seems TO be the proper time to
put on record a confession which ought
to be made before the dissolution which
l see coming. There is no longer any
use in keeping up the pretense. Those
of us who are conspicuously committed
and pledged to one another to stand by
the Peoples ticket will possibly have to
carry out what we have undertaken.
But we are whipped: our forces are
scattering: our cause is dead. / write
this as a sort of dying confession of
misguided crowd, hoping that it may
warn others who may be tempted IN the
future to take the same journey.
By going out on this fools errand, this
wild goose chase. we lost our places in
the old party, and simply count for
nothing this year. II in some instances
ii kets have been made up without
farmers in nomination. II Is because the
farmers were not where they belonged,
nominating their own men, and exerting
a controlling influence on the party. We
have gone out and fooled away the OPP
portunities of the year.
The t. Louis platform, which we
started ont with, has been expanded into
a very different political creed from what
we supposed it. Short, and meager, and
vague. and general as it is. 1t seemed 20

but many of the honest yeomen of Kan
sas are alarmed at the meanings which
have been expounded from that COM
paratively innocent looking instrument.
Our candidate is the complexion of our
shame. We began under a vague i'm
preston that there were expressions be-
ing practiced, and determined to right
the wrongs of suffering humanity. and
we find ourselves following standard

has trodden under foot the ties of nature

KANSAS SUGAR PROSPECTS.

From the Louisiana Planter.
The Planter had the good fortune to
receive cal this week from Jacob Neu-
port, of Kilby Manufacturing company;
Fred HinZe, Just from Topeka, and VI.
B. Clements. from Sterling, Kan.
These gentlemen report everything in
excellent condition in Kansas, all the
houses are making sugar successfully
and the outlook is very promising.
Mr.. Hinze, who is one of the engineers
of the Kll5y Manufacturing company of
Cleveland, o., has just left the Topeka
factory, which he has put in perfect
order, and reports an output there al
ready of 100 barrels of sorghum sugar.
Medicine Lodge factory is away ahead,
with an output of over 500 barrels, and
promises to do better than last year. Its
owners, Messrs. Eldred & Hinman, can
well feel proud of this factory, for its
financial success is assured.
The Topeka factory made sixty pounds
of sugar to a ton of cane on its first run.
Medicine Lodges first run was eighty
nine pounds to the ton, and is now said
to ACREAGE a hundred.
At Fort Scott they have started, are
making sugar and doing well. Attica
has also started, but has as yet furnished
no reports. One of the main essentials,
in Mr.. HINES estimation, is to have men
in the sugar house who know their bust
ness. He left with us a sample of sugar
made this year from sorghum at the
Attica factory.
Mr.. Jacob Neuert is now here to super
intend the erection of the new diffusion
battery that the Kirby Manufacturing
company is this year putting up on Gov
ernor WarmOths Magnolia plantation.

census:
RELATIVE RANK OF STATES.

From an advance copy of Census Bull
letin No. u, issued from the census
bureau and just received, the following
data is obtained as the relative positions
of states in point of population; New
York still heads the list, with Pennsyl-
vania second. Illinois and Ohio change
places, being third and fourth respec-
lively, Missouri coming fifth and Massa-
chusetts sixth. Texas rises from eleven
so seven: Kentucky drops from eight to
eleven; Minnesota rises from twenty-six
to twenty; Nebraska rises from thirty to
twenty-six, its increase being from 49,
402 to ,056, 1913; Maryland drops from
twenty-three to twenty-seven; Colorado
rises from thirty-five to thirty-one; Yer
mont drops from thirty-two to thirty-six;
Washington rises from forty-two to
thirty-four; Delaware drops from thirty
eight to fortv-two; Nevada drops from
forty-three to forty-nine; and Arizona
drops from forty-four to forty-eight.
Oklahoma is forty-six, leading Wyom-
ing. Arizona and Nevada, the latter state
bringing up the rear of the procession.

of the rush for wealth during the gold
fever fit through the mind as 3'vein,n
pocket and chimney are called
during the game. Waleedi Itself Is
the name of mine in silvery Colorado.
A peculiar dispute in connection with
this mine led TO its invention. The mine
was owned by two men, one OF whom
wanted to work ore wherever IL was
rich enough to pay and the other to de-
velop a chimney" he was confident
would be found in the ledge some con-
siderable distance on. A compromise
was effected by an agreement by which
they were to share expenses equally and
TO divide receipts from the ore taken
from the tunnel. The former was to
have the privilege to work all veins at
his own expense and to have all receipts
from them, but in case chimney was
struck he was to grant his partner the
privilege TO work it and enjoy the profits.
By playing the game it can easily be
seen which man made his fortune first.
The game is played similar TO whist
There are four PLAYERS, those OPP
posite being partners. The entire
deck is dealt, one card az a time, and
the last ard turned up for trump.
The ace il the highest card of suit
and every player is compelled TO follow
suit if he can. The terms used are as
follows: A game is called fortune"
count is strike" Large strike,
small strike or ''struck twelve" In
counting up one says ''struck forty-eight
in veins, ''struck fifty in a pc ket." etc.
The six, knave, queen, king and ace are
called "waste cards." the two, three.
four and five, vein cards" and the
seven, eight, nine and ten, pocket
cards" Four pocket cards of one suit is
called a pocket" A pocket of trumps
is rich pocket" Two pockets are
called a chimney" When all the
tricks are played the strike is made as
follows: The waste cards" do not count;
each "vein card STRIKES" as much as its
spots number, the four striking four, ETC.;
a pocket" strikes fifty; ''rich pocket
strikes seventy-five; chimney" for
time, which is 300. In the rapid changes,
victories and defeats, "Waleedi'' is most
exciting game.

Hon. Horace Speed, L. S. district at
torney for Oklahoma, who has perhaps
fullest knowledge of the condition of
affairs in all parts of the Indian terri
tory, asserts with positiveness that there
is more crime committed in the territory
contiguous to Oklahoma but outside of
its boundaries than in any other in
habited portion of the continent, of equal
population. This fact of itself is the
strongest argument that could be adj
vanced for the speedy opening of all
that country to white settlement Okla
homa proper is as peaceful and law
abiding as any portion of the country,

ton of local government

county, stand by the man who has stood
solid for you Don't forget that fifteen
years ago when Wichita was about to
lose the cattle trade by votes from the
eastern portion of the state that Col.
Hallowell came to our assistance and
saved us many thousand dollars. In
stead of calling us ''cayotes and sorghum
lappers," as other eastern fellaws did,
Hal rendered us valuable assistance.
Don't forget that when Wichita
wanted the state convention he again
came to the front and We got that con-
ton.
Don't forget that when our county
officials settled up with the colonel as
attorney general they owed him about
$4,000, which he refused to take, but
gave them receipt in full against the
debt. In fact Hap has stood by our city
at least fifteen years. And now l am
satisfied you will stand by him.

Reports from Australia are discourage
ing to those who are hoping for amicable
settlement of difficulties between labor
ing men and their employers. The
struggle between the d@ckaen and the
owners has, it is said, assumed the seri-
BUSINESS of a civil war in its results, even
If not in its methods. This is not only
deplorable in itself, but is startlingly
suggestive of the magnitude and the
gravity that the contest between labor
and capital is assuming. 1t will be a
grave disaster to humanity if this civil
war, even though it may be only com
mercial in character, can not be averted
by some reimbursement of economic condi-
tons and methods that shall serve the
best interests of all concerned The dis
turbances in Australia, coupled with
those in England and the discomfort
elsewhere, indicate the persistence of
question that must be met very soon.
