become SO tired Of the disgraceful pro-
ceedings of newspapers in former cam
paigns that, even if there we're truth
in the charges and countercharges that
might be brought forth, it would have
practically no weight with voters, be-
cause such tales had often no founda-
ton in former times.
The Times went into the campaign
to make fair, honest, open fight, and
we believe that neither friend nor en-.
emy can say that it has deviated from
this course. 1t has not, nor does not
ask the indulgence of any Of its read
crs for the part it has taken, nor the
fight il has made. 1t has demonstrat.
that a campaign, be it ever SO warm,
may still be confined within the limits
of decency. 1t has an abiding faith in
the sound judgment Of the people, and
for that reason it has given fects and
arguments for the voters to weigh. In
looking over this issue, we tell our
readers that whatever is read
are LACTs. We hold that the duty Of
newspaper in a campaign IS to give
facts for the consideration Of voters,
and having this in view. we have sum-
med our reasons pro and con for sup
porting the democratic candidates, and
it is now left with you to decide for
whom you will cast your ballot.

SOUND IDEAS.

From Mr.. Hoover's speech at Buck
lin, Saturday evening, Get. 25:
"Another law which 1 favor is that
of uniformity Of text books. The
school book trust is one of the greatest
evils against which education has to
contend, and it is especially hard upon
the poor man with large number Of
children to educate. From my per-
sonal knowledge know that school
books containing the same matter,
printed on the same quality of paper,
and hound in the same manner as 9TH
er books, are sold from so to 100 per
cent higher. lam not only in favor
of having the state print uniform set
of text books, but also favo. giving
these books to the children free of
charge. If we are going to have free
schools, let us have them ia fact as
we'll Is in name. IF I am elected to
the legislature, l shall endeavor to have
. law passed looking to this end

Far from presuming to offer even a
shadow of suggestion to the intelligent
voters of Ford county, We cannot help
but remark in relation to Thomas La
hey, candidate for reelection to clerk
of conrt: There has never heretofore
been presented to the voters of Ford
county a candidate vho embodies to a
greater degree those peculiar faculties
which make him SO popular a favorite
with the masses, which fact is created,
as We well know, by his congeniality,
gentility, and willingness at all times
to attend to the slightest wants Of the
people. His honesty and ability are
unquestioned. Therefore be is not on
ly deserving to succeed himself in the
present campaign, but beyond any
doubt will be so elected, and strange
indeed, and hard to please must be the
man who can do aught but help to
elect him. Whilst we are an ar0ent
republican party ties do not restrain US
from voting for the best man in con-
tests such as the present.
A REPUBLICAN.

TOM I.AHEY.

Tom Lahey in this campaign has
made one Of the cleanest, fairest fights
ever made for the Office of clerk of the
court. It is just such fight as one
would expect from an honest, manly
man; it is just such a fight as one
would expect man to make who is
liberal minded and genial hearted; and
the people will RENE mber on election
dag that he is one of them, can sym
pathize with them, and that he has
proved friend indeed. If men ap-
preciate an open handed man, one who,
if necessary, will divide his last dollar
with them, one who, like themselves,
has family to support, if they a2pre-
ciate honesty, capability and courtesy,
they will return Tom Lahey to the Of
fee he now fills so worthily.
The Globe says the Times principal
argument Is that Lahey has . family
and Clark is bachelor. It is true
this is one Of our arguments. and it is
one the voters will consider, and why
shouldn't they? If We propose to give
county Offices to men who need them,
other qualifications being equal. how
In the name Of common sense can men
support Mr.. Clark with no one but him.

Lahey with ten in his family to pro-

Mr.. Hoover's stand regarding irri-
cation is everywhere commented on as
being the most just and comprehensive
measure yet advanced. 1t is thorough
ly conservative, yet protects alike the
consumer and canal companies. With
the experiments now being made in ir-
rigation and the absolute surety that
sooner or later irrigating canals will
become a vast interest in this country,
and one upon which wise measures Of
protection, for and against rights and
abuses will be required, Mr.. Hoover s
stand is both timely and well taken.

the venture. He worked at whatever
came his way until given the Office Of
district clerk, and then he did not for
get men who passed through the same
experiences as himself. Knowing the
struggle for ar existence with which
the poor have to contend, he has often
thrown of his fees IN the cases of poor
men who could i'll afford to pay the
costs. Voters, remember these things
on election day. Remember that Tom
Lahey has ten dependent upon him,
Mr.. Clark no one but himself. Re-
member that he has made one of the
best clerks we have ever had. We be.
lieve that you will remember these
things, and that you will re-elect Tom
Lahey clerk of the district court.

It is true that the present Incum-
bent Of the Office of superintendent Of
public instruction is teaching the same
school Mr.. Beadle taught some time
ago, but the manner Of their accepting
the position is entirely different. All
the positions in our city schools we're
taken before the republican convention
was held, else no one doubts our pres
ent worthy and efficient superintendent
would be teaching here.

NOW GIVE THE CREDIT.

Since the Globe has gone to the
trouble of looking up back records, we
have concluded to do a little in this
line ourselves. The history Of the leg
islature of which Mr.. Hoover was a
member ''makes mighty interesting
reading" as the lamented Greely said
Senator Plumb, in 1883 offered a
resolution in the United States senate,
looking to the establishment of ma
tional soldiers home in the state ol
Kansas. G. NJ. Hoover in the state
legislature offered concurrent resolu-
ton to have that home established a!
old Fort Dodge.
From this is seen that Mr.. Hoover
was working for the soldiers home be,
fore Mr.. Finley came to this country
1t refutes the statement that he has
not their interests at heart, and shows
that he justified the belief that he was
watchful, efficient and influential re.
preventative.

HOW FOOLISH IN YOU.

The Globe, with admirable pluck,
but questionable wisdom, again attacks
Mr.. Hoover regarding his voting
against the amendment offered by the
coal lobbyists while he was a member
of the legislature. The Globe recog-
nizes that it made a mistake in spring
ing these questions, but the bridges
we're burned behind them aad they
can't go back.
The Globe shirks the issue. 1t re-
fuses to discuss any but its own views.
1t knows that the amendment was Of
fered through coal lobbyists. 1t knows
the object of the amendment was to
keep up the price Of coal. 1t knows
that cheap coal would benefit a hund
red men where it would be detrimental
to one miner. Isn't this so?
Does any one suppose that we would
stop on the sentimental cry of putting
free men in competition with convicts
if thereby We might obtain coal in Ford
county for $2 or So less on the ton? It
would mean warth and comfort to ma
ny house that is now paying tribute
TO these graspins grinding monopolies.
The Globe says Mr.. Hoover's inten-
tions were laudable, but objects to the
means by which the end was accom-
plished. As matter Of fact the end
was accomplished through a negative
process. The amendment was offered
to restrict the selling of the coal for
less than the outrageous prices charged
by the coal combine. Possibly the
Globe really thinks that the amend
ment should have passed; if the belief
is sincere, then it puts Mr.. Finley in
an embarrassing position as candi-
date opposed to monopolies, for the
coal trust is the acme OF the evils from
which the poor are suffering. Repub.
licau orators are stumping the county
with the assertion that the reduction
should have come through reduction
of the freight rates. Mr.. Hoover vot-
ed for the bill creating the board Of
railroad commissioners, and, as . re-
suit, passenger rates have been re-
duced from 6 cents to 3 cents per mile,
and freight rates almost one-half.
In so far as the other bill relating to
corporations increasing their capital
stock is concerned, the Globes talk is
merely campaign twaddle. 1t will not
even pass muster in the heat of a cam
paign. The Globe kindly published
the bill and tersely answered Its own
arguments.
The more Mr.. Hoover's record is
looked up, the more Mr.. Finley's hoFss
60 down. The Globe has conclusive.
ly proven that he is a man Of the peo.
pie, for the people and will lie elected
by the people.

WE LEAVE IT WITH YOU.

This will, in all probability be the
last issue of the Times before election
In this issue is contained a number Of
facts that are well worth the honest,
candid, unprejudice thought of all men
who expect to cast their ballots at the
coming elections. The Times, in this
campaign, has endeavored to avoid the
offensive means SO often employed in
campaigus-that Of applying personal
and abusive epitnets to the candidates.
We all expect to remain here after
election, all expect to work for the
common welfare of the county, and
there is DO reason why the Times
should abuse and villify the opposing
candidates merely because it believes
they are less capable than those of its
own party.
There have been live issues in this
campaign, and they have been fairly,
honestly and courageously met The
Times believed that its readers prefer
ed argument to abuse; it believed they
had higher conception Of politics than
the mere mSd-slinging of partisaas; it
recognized the fact that the people have

WHAT GOOD HAS HE DONE?


1t is a time honored political maxim
that parties with but one idea can new
er achieve any great proportions nor
accomplish the ends for which they
were organized. That is the status Of
the prohibition party to-day. 1t has
has but one aim-the suppression Of
the liquor traffic. 1t would sink this
state into bankruptcy to accomplish
this end, and that is why it will never
be accomplished through its agency.
When one idea takes complete possess
ion of an individual or party. the in
evitable result must be that every 9TH
er consideration, no matter how mo-
mentous, is thrown aside, or neglected
so that the energies may he concentra-
ted on the one.
The above self-evident proposition is
applicable to the present county attor-
ney. He has allowed number Of pro-
hibitionists to plunge Ford county in
to an expense of $4,000 during his
administration through prosecutions Of
jointists, and what are the fruits of
this expenditure and these prosecu-
tions?
When Mr.. Madison came into the
Office of county attorney he found four
joints in operation in this city. Now.
on the eve of election, after two years
of prosecutions, eight joints are said to
be in operation.
Mr.. Madison has either himself this
one idea mania, or he Is under the
dominence of those who do possess it,
for his administration has been chac-
acterized by this one thing and moth
ing else. 1t was always war, war on
the joints; and the result was always
compromise after compromise. Mr..
Madison, instead of looking at the fact
that men who we're filing this informa-
ton we're of the one idea order of in
dividuals, prided himself on doing his
duty.
1t has been asserted that Mr.. Hend-
ricks has said that he would not pro Sc
cute the jointists. Mr.. Madison has
prosecuted over eighty cases relative
to the violation Of the prohibitory law,
and yet the number Of jointists have,
for some cause, doubled during his ad-
ministration. What further comment
is necessary, what proof lacking that
Mr.. Madison's attempts at breaking
up the joints has been expensive but
unsuccessful? How much force can
tax payers attach to the sentimental
assertion that Mr.. Madison has done
his duty? In doing what he consider
ed his duty, Mr.. Madison has simply
brought disaster upon this county
nothing more nor less.
Before casting your ballot think
honestly and conscientiously if you can
afford to stick to partisanism rather than
your own interests. Look at and think
over the above facts; weigh them care
fully and consider whether or not you
can endorse Mr.. Hendricks assertion
that he will not prosecute unless the
evidence assures conviction.

In 1883 the general government is
sued 700 licenses to sell liquor in the
State of Kansas. Now it issues in the
neighborhood of 1900. Thus does pro-
hlbition prohibit.

A. GLUCK.

In the present campaign no man de-
serves greater praise at the hands Of
democrats and resu5mission- republic
ans than A. Gluck. He has spent his
time and money in the great cause Of
resubmission, doing herculean work in
its behalf. Mr. Gluck has made a
statewide reputation in the fight he
has made on the free whiskey reign.
He has for the past two months been
recognized by the resubmission state
central committee as one of the lead
ers in the campaign, and they have
been in constant correspondence with
him relative to the work of the cam
paign. Mr.. Gluck is one Of the heavi-
est taxpayers in Western Kansas, and
should resubmission carry, he believes
that the resulting benefit to his prop
erty interests will amply repay all out
lay Of time and money in the cam
paign.

Digestion and the Rrain.

The dyspeptic who, of course,
eats only light supper may resort
10 the use of towel wet with tepid
water and covered with dry cloth,
the whole then applied to the pit of
the stomach. Before the sufferer
knows it he will float into shadow
land; such is the sympathy be-
tween the organs of digestion and
the brain.
Owing to the position of the
stomach a light sleeper ought TO
sleep on the right side instead Of
the left, never on the back. If there
is tendency to cold feet thin
wooden blanket may line the lower
third of the bed. The limbs ought
not to be greatly flexed, position
which prevents free circulation, and
they should rest upon one another
lightly.
The night light, where used,
ought to be a tiny taper. and not
gas or kerosene, both of which de-
vitilize the air. A darkened room
is best. Nature puts out her light
and draws her curtain of darkness
for purpose.

mental, and determination not to
deal with anodynes, sleep may be
won from its coyest lair to watch
