This country is as hard to beat as

tural point of view it has few equals and
no superiors. On every hand values are
advancing in every direction. Advanc-

difficult jobs l know of. used to at

Gated about four rods TO the west OF the

the effect that he died OF heart failure.
We think he did. We think that sew
eral other organs also failed him at
about the same time. Anyone who
thinks he got away is laboring under a
mistake, and such an idea also does the
boys injustice. Nj. QUAD.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. Most OF our
citizens will readily recall 10 mind Maj
or Blackshaw, who spent some two
weeks here last summer trying to break
the faro banks. 1t is perhaps needless
to say that he did not succeed. The
Major visited us almost daily, and on
one occasion showed US human ear
which had once belong TO man In
Prescott who had called him liar We
believe he claimed to have carried the
ear for sixteen years.
It seems that when the Major left
here he went north, and one day he fell
in with man aud exhibited the relic.
The stranger turned out TO be brother
of the man who lost the ear, and he not
only took possession OF II, but OF both
of the Majors to boot. The latter will
now know how it seems TO have some
body using his ears TO put an edge on
jack knife, and We can't say we feel a
bit sorry for him.

acts as bouncer for the Red Star saloon.
He has tried TO kill three or four men in

to be the party,,who fired a jackass rabbit
through our bedroom window one night
last week. Unless he makes a great
change in his conduct the boys will get
up a surprise party on him soon, and
their little affairs are never pulled oil

bestowed upon others who labor
not. Labor weaves the silken fab
rio for the daughter of luxury and
Incidence, yet must clothe it's own
weary child in rags. Labor turns
the busy wheels of commerce, pro-
pels the locomotive, tills the soil,
garners the grain, grinds the grist,
fells the forest and builds the city,
and-enjoys scant, meagre exist
ence in return. When next you
pray, "Give us this day our daily
bread"-think-think little. Is
there remedy for this social dis
ease? There are those who believe
there is and it behooves every in
telligent, honest man and woman to
examine the remedies proposed.
To my mind there is remedy,
simple and efficient-one that can
not fail to lift the burden of emo

ders, and of this | shall speak at
another time. To you who are
pleading with God to give you your
daily bread, l would say 1t is
here. You have but to look about
YOU to see the abundance which has
been provided. There is no limit
to natures store-house. 1t needs
but the application of your labor to
supply you with everything needed.
If you are not permitted to labor in
this grand VINEYARD, if you are not
permitted to retain what your labor
has produced, then the question is
one to be solved here on earth, You
but insult your God with petition
for bread. Let your investigations
begin here and you will find that
your prayer was answered long be-
fore you became a resident on earth.

ers are treated to a life-like refec-
ton from the inner circles of the
two old (devil-fsh) parties. These
ably-designed and well-executed
cartoons have a wonderful tendency
to set such to thinking as are too
bigoted to read tire truth in the re-
form papers. The Vincent Brothers
pioneer reform work in this state
would be an interesting and profta-
BILE subject for the future historian.
Five years ago they started the
Non Con. with two or three hundred
subscribers in Kansas hoisted the
flag of liberty and the ensign OF
honest government, and kept it up,
night and day, above the fog OF
prejudice, the mists of falsehood
and the smoke Of dynamite. Under
a continual siege from the two old
parties and the money power, the
Non Con. has been, SO to speak, the
star of Bethlehem to the tax, bond
and mortgage ridden toilers Of Kan
sas. 1t has led the educational
hunt which has driven the money
tigers and corporate hyenas out
from the political junglos into the
light of justice, where they are
now skulking behind their subsi-
died press. 1t has given the right
hand Of fellowship to more than one
hundred and fifty reform papers in
this state. The old guard Of Kan
sas still consider it their household
favorite, and they take pride in its
prosperity in it's new national head
quarters. If we may judge the
future by the past, the Vincent
brothers are the right men
in the right place. They
have passed through fiery ordeal

confess, strikes me as being more
ridiculous than the above petition
directed to Fan unknown some
thing" when issuing from the
mouths of those who labor in this
world. If the time and energy
consumed to this useless petition
were devoted to little hard think
ing on practical lines, and an effort
made to solve the problem OF the
distribution of wealth, better results
would be speedily attained. Let us
examine little closer our laws and
customs, our social condition here
on earth. Baying at the moon can
bring us no relief. What is wealth?
Houses, stores and factories and all
the good things they contain, the
product of the farm, forest, mines
and the sea. 1t will therefore be
seen that all the good things we
call wealth or goods" comes orig
inalIy from the earth. How is
wealth obtained? By labor applied
to the earth in securing the raw
material, and by labor in transform
ing of the raw material to the fin
ished product. To whom should all
wealth belong? TO those, and
those only, whose labor is the Great

of my labor. 1t belongs wholly to
me. and no sane man would demand
part thereof. But suppose the
waters wherein I caught the fish
were private property An!
There's the rub" The fish are
rightly mine; but here's a fellow
with a paper title and who has le-
gal right to demand part Of my fish

the thing, he demands all the fish
over and above just what will keep
me and mine from hunger, and so

through life, Pm kept hard at work
fishing, while this robber sits idly by
and enjoys the fruits of my labor
and grows rich. He has legal
right to do this, but if you will
trace the title which gives him this
right, you will find it was originally
secured with a club. Our petition,
"give us this day our daily bread"
should be directed to these land
sharks spectators and their right
to rob us conceded, or we must use
orr "thinkors" to better advantage
aud devise a system of laws that
shall leave to those who create it,
the enjoyment of wealth. Keep in
mind the fact that all wealth comes
from the earth, and you won't find
