tsoo TO four years, and made the compen-
aation payable monthly instead Of quar-

SLIGHT REVIEW or TESTIMONY IN THE
MATTER.
The original "cotnty andltor" bill (No.
il8) passed the senate on February IA,
1915, Senator johnson having been one
OF the tWenty-seven yeas on its passage,
and yet he swears: NJ never saw the bill
before It was enrolled; did not hearIt
read, and was not present when II passed,
and did not know anything Of the pro-
visions Of the BILL"
When further questioned as TO the sal
aTy Of county auditor as provided In SEN
ate bill No. 1l9, he answered: ~ don't
know; was not present when Il passed,
and did not see the bill. first found out
thaJ Jhe probate court mad the appoint
ment when saw the act published in
the LeavenwoTth Times Of Sunday, Feb
ruary 81, 1879, yet on the Saturday even
Ing previous requested the appointment
at the hands Of Hon. Samuel ID. Le-
compte, probate Judge Of Leavenworth
county, but he said he would make no
appointment until he saw the bill"
Judge LecOmpte testified that he wrote
Senator johnson after he returned to
Topeka, informing him that unless the
act was amended It would probably be a
failure, as the probate court could not be
considered a court Of the judicial district,
but Is the probate court Of the county"
This matter might be pursued ad L6i-
t'GHa, but enough is perhaps as good as a
feast.

OUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS.

Brothers and sisters Of the alliance,
would call your attention to some facts
concerning our political opponents. We
have organized party on principles we'll
defined for the purpose Of bettering our
financial condition, and all members Of
the alliance agree that through political
effort alone can we gain financial benefit.
Doubtless the old politicians helped us
to cipher out where the origin of our
trouble lay; for az soon as we organized
they set up a cry, "Dont dabble in poll
tics" But the honest old farmer is a
pretty good detective, and here was a
clue that there was something wrong In
politics, and he began TO investigate and
found that he was into the party and the
other fellows were into politics up to
their elbows. 1t was this fact that
brought about the peoples party. These
old farmers have concluded to leave the
party and 80 into politics, and In so do
ing have incurred the bitter enmity and
hate Of the old line-backed politicians,
some Of which are in our order. These
are the only ones that can materially
affect our cause. We know 1t, they know
lt, The old politicians told them 80; and
as the greater portion was presumptious
enough to act according to true Ameri-
can principles and preserve their rights
through political reform, they have in
CURED the enmity Of a small minority
who are led by those whose business II is
TO corrupt politics, But these msnlpula-
tors In our ranks not being as expert In
the business as their instructors, and hav-
Ing more confidence in themselves than
discretion, have given themselves away,
much to the amusement OF some and the
instruction Of others, who are too hon
orable TO play such game and have too
much sense to be led astrsy by such
open faced trsachery. We will go no
farther than their own testimony leads
us and examine the facts. Some Of these
agreed to stand by majority Of the ALI
anoe, and stralghtway repaired them
selves to old party conventions, came
back and told us that 1863 alliance men
met at Topeka, being delegates to the re-

TO take man unprepared in a mental
contest as physical one, for in either
case the assailant knows that II he gave
his victim a fair chance he would get

No given me by one Of the delegates 10
the &. 0. p. state convention: "That the
sub-treasury bill Is class legislation, for
those counties that did not raise enough
agricultural products TO get sub-treas-
ury would be at the mercy Of grain gam
blers" But is II not fact that II the
more productive counties could hold their
grain off the market, that being the
greater portion OF what was produced,
would raise the market value and those
who had to sell would get better price,
and would be glad that their neighbor
counties could help them to that eXtentH
Where can we look for aid except to act

they depend TO carry them through may

will and what will not be done. Full we'll
we know the hostility of old politicians
against our order, and efforts are being
made to induce the alliance brethren to
believe that this party movement was
sprung upon them by designing men and
cause them to forget the fact that
large majority voted 1t upon themselves,
and It Is only few disappointed office
seekers that are kicking, and we can
afford to let them kick, for their opposi-
tion is worth more than their support.

THE United States Supreme Court has
put quietus on the Minnesota Dressed
Beef Law. This was similar to the laws
introduced in other states for the protec
tion Of home baes-to secure the home
market to the farmer. The terms Of the
decision apply to all similar laws and
ought to be made operative
against oleomargarine laws so
far as they prevent the importation Of
wholesome articles Of food from one
state into another. 1t is one thing to
exclude diseased cattle from the limits Of
a state; it is another thing to declare
that meat shall not be sold unless the
animals are inspected alive-slaughtered
within the limits of the state. The
Supreme Court declares that the
Minnesota law is unconstitu-
tionsl The law was only
corrollarY law derived from the falla-
cious idea Of protectionism as held by the
Republican party Both are unconstitu-
tiOnal, because both proceed on the
theory that the mass Of people should
make up the alleged deficits and losses Of
a class. THAI is robbery. In. the case
Of the Loan Association VS.. Topeka, mo,
20, Wallace, which is authority for the
word robbery The court said:
To lay with one hand the power Of the
government on the property Of the citi-
zen, and with the other TO bestow II
upon favored individuals TO aid private
enterprises and build up private fortunes
is none the less a robbery because It ii
done under the forms OF law and is called
taxation. This is not legislation. II

WHEN THIEVES FALL our.

Some Of those papers which made hasty
attacks on the Milford News and Adver-
tiser evidently did not known that IL was
LOADED for bear" 1t has come out with
the proof that Mr.. Slpple was the most
popular, most acceptable and best endor-
sed applicant for the position OF post
master of Milford. The News and Adver-
tiser says:
Concerning this the list of names OF
the supporters OF Mr.. Sipple, which we
print, speaks for itself. But we have
before us a infinitely kept record of cam
paign contributions and expenses for
Cedar Creek hundred at the last election,
and this was shown Mr.. Higgins, and can
now be seen by the editor of the Chroni-
Gle or any Republican who doubts. That
record gives each man credit for any con-
tribution he may have made, or any vote
he secured. Summed up ii shows that
MIR. SiPple's supporters gave three
times as much as Mr.. Pierce'sl
twenty one times as much as
those Of MIR. Thomas, and
two and one.half times as much as both
Pierce and Thomas together OF the
doubtful voters secured in Cedar Creek
hundred on election day. Mr.. Sipple's sup
portsrs got just 20 per cent,
and Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Thomas
together the other 30 per cent
We have the evidence for any Republi-
can to see. Now we ask, who has lied,
this paper or the Chronicle? So far as
political work and contributions go, in
Milford hundred the endorsers OF Mr..
Sipple gave almost absolutely all, and
nearly all the work. We know.
It is well 80 observe in passing how
the truth comes out when Republicans
begin to quarrel The above is shame
less acknowledgment of Doodle collected
for bribery, record of which was care
fully kept for the purpose of influencing
the distribution OF spoils. 1t will be OBJ.
served that the system Of book keeping at
Milford recognizes two classes of credits,
and charges the Republican party with
twosklnds Of. patriotism, namely that
Of the contributing member and that
Of securing doubtful voters. The ledger
was kept for reference and used TO show
Senator Higgins who had earned the
office by contributions Of money and by
influencing doubtful voters. Any in
telligent man may draw his own conclu-
sions from these facts which have leaked
out in the quarrel over the Milford Ipost
office.
1t is interesting 10 note that several
names'sppear as endorsers OF two or three
applicants among them the Rev. J. g
Willis, and Theo. Townsend. The News
and Advertiser pays its compliments e
Mr.. Townsend again by publishing his
