FOR INDIANAPOLIS.

The passenger department of the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St
Louis Railway company notified this
Office under date of November s, that
a rate Of one fare for the round trip
had been granted over the "Big -Four
Route from st. Louis to Indianspo-
lis for the recommendation of dele
gates and visitors to the national
council OF the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union. Their trains are
all vestibuled and provided with
dining car and lunch stand. Their
cheap lunch stand is new feature
in railroading and one that will be
highly appreciated. They connect
with all roads leading into St Louis.
We have also a telegram from n
N. Garland, OF the Wabash, that the
same rate Of one fare has been granted
from Kansas City to st. Louis. We
have, up to the time of going to press,
no notice Of any reduced rate west Of
the Missouri river. All delegates
and visitors to this meeting are re-
quested TO meet at Kansas City on
Saturday evening so as to take the
evening train east.

WHIsKEY WAREHOUsING.

The Holton Recorder of the 5th
undertakes to show from our article
upon the above subject that Jerry
Simpson lied when he said that the
government furnishes warehouses for
the distillers for the storage of whis-
key, and it quotes the following state
ment from our article in proof of it's
assumption:
1t is true that the dlstiller is required by law
to provide a warehouse upon the dlstlllery
premises in which his product Is stored. Thus
far the Recorder Is correct.
Why does the Recorder stop at this
point and claim this statement as
proof of the fslsehood of what Mr..
Simpson said? Did not The ADvo-
CATE 60 farther and show that when
the distiller shipped = his product
abroad to escape payment of the tax
and to swaitthe ''aging" process and a
favorable market, that it is afterward
returned to this country and storedin
government custom housesP What
has the Recorder to say of this part
of The ADVOCATES article? Why
does it seek to deceive its readers
into the belief that the government
does not provide warehouses for the
distiller, and that The ADVOCATE has
admitted any such propositions The
Recorder well knows the position of
The ADVOCATE on this subject, and it
knows, moreover, that its position is
correct and cannot be controverted.
Further than this, the Recorder dare
not either attempt to honestly contro-
vert our position nor give its readers
an honest statement of the facts re-
lsting to this infamous business. Its
aim is and has been to deceive its
readers with regard to facts because
these facts show the Infamous charac-
ter of Republican Legislation. It is
useless to repeat our argument on
this subject. 1t has never been an
swered. No attempt has ever been
made to answer it. It cannot be an
swered. We challenge an answer to
it in any fair and logical manner.

an infallible indication OF the total
disintegration and utter snnihilstion
Of the Peoples party in Kansas. Ra-
tional men and women know better
than this. They recognize in all this
bluster and Growing of political
roosters the whistle of towards ap-
preaching q political graveyard in
which their polluted carcasses will
soon be buried in oblivion. Placing
the most conservative estimate upon
the results of the election, it may be
regarded as absolutely certain that,
in this "off year" in politics, without
any systematic campaign such as we
conducted last year, relying solely
upon the educational work of the
past, and the limited local campaigns
conducted by the several counties,
and in the face of q campaign against
us seldom surpassed even in presi-
Dental year, we have still fully held
our own in the aggregate, while our
per cent has unquestionsbly been
largely increased. We are Of the
opinion also that not only our per
cent. but our actual vote cast will be
found larger in the aggregate than it
was last year. However this may be,
in view Of the facts now well known
to the people everywhere, we would
ask where is the evidence of the dis
Indignation that the enemy is talking
about?
1t is true our candidates for county
offices have been defeated in some in
stances, but how has it been done?
It has been by the union of the old
parties, that have for the last thirty
years been wsging relentless war
fare against each other for official
spoils. They have forgotten all the
bitterness of the past The hard
names they have called each other
are remembered no more. They
have kissed and made up and gone to
bed together. The official offspring
Of this unholy political marriage
seems to be largely Republican.
With the exception of two Demo
cratic judges il would seem that the
Democrats were not "in it" They
were easily satisfied.
There is q very grave condition of
things now confronting them. Know
ing as they very well do that the Peo-
ple's party is superior to either of
them Singly, what will they do next
yearl Will they separate and each
place an electoral ticket in the field?
Should they do 80 they are both de-
feated before they begin the cam
paign. Will they remain together9
If so what will the ticket be-? Will it
be Harrison and Cleveland, or Clevs-
land and Harrison? These are grave
questions and on their determination
depend many spoils. We shall see
what we shall see.
So far from any disintegration hav-
ing taken place in the Peoples party

THE KANSAS ELECTION.


Republican and Democratic papers
have been filed with trash relative tc
the disiptegration Of the Alliance snd
che Peoples party, and the return oi
the members to their former afilis
tions. Just after the Salins meeting
a purported interview with Franz
McGrath was published in which he
was made to say that the Alliance
membership had fallen off during the
past year from 100000 to $4,000, and
this was heralded all over the country
with a view Of disCoursging not only
the members in our own state, but
likewise the people Of other states,
who have been looking to Kansas as
foremost in the impending political
revolution. The most disreputable
methods have been persistently pur-
sued before the election to deceive
the people respecting the issues Of
the contest and the sentiment and
strength OF the Peoples party, and,
since the election, the same persist
emit effort and the same disreputsble
methods are pursued to deceive with
respect to the result. A stranger
reading the scarecrow headlines in
the daily papers, and, being ignorant
Of the unscrupulous character OF
partisan journalism, would conclude
that the Alliance and the Peoples
party had been literally annihilsted
and wiped from the face of the earth.
The predicted "disintegration" would
be supposed to have come to pass.
The ADVOCATE is not given to vain
boasting, or to the publication Of
statements that will not bear the
scrutiny of friends and the assaults
of enemies; and in giving a summary
of the results of this election it will
as usual be conservative, and it's con-
illusions will be found to be more
than verified by the most careful
analysis Of the vote when the official
result is fully known. The day was
very unfavorable for a full vote. A
cold, drizzling rain prevailed over the
greater part Of the state that un-
doubtedly kept many men at home,
It is only natural to suppose that
most of these were in the rural dis
tricts which were at q distance from
the polls, rather than in the cities
whore the, voting precincts are con-
venient. AS the Peoples party
strength is mostly in the rural dis
tricts it is only natural to suppose
that our vote would be most effected
by the decrease of the total vote.
Notwithstanding this in a great
many counties we have made large
actual gain in our vote over that OF
last year. In other counties we have
fully held our own. In a few counties
the actual vote is less than last year,
but fully equal to it in comparison
with the total vote cast Taking into
consideration the diminished total
vote in those counties it will be found

WORD OF CHEER FROM COWLEY

speaking Of the election in Cowley
county, remarked:
The election Of yesterday shows large gain
Of stralghtOut Peoples party votes on the vote
cast last year, baSing the proportion Of the PeO-
ple's vote 70 the total vote. which was not near
30 large as 1t was last year. This fact applies to
nearly every locality In the county. We are in
the ilght for the principles Of the Peoples party.
II "CaIamity Jane" is knocked out she has plenty
Of relations In the ring. a9H
The conditions OF which we have complained
In the past still exist, and they will continue to
exist until the causes which have produced them
are removed.
The one great consolation to be extracted from
the recent election is that the Democratic party
Of this county Is scattered to the four winds.
There Is not enough of 1t left to swear by.
The makers OF contracts requiring gold pay
mentg are anarchists, for they defy all legal
tender laws, and this 10 the meaning Of the late

Victims by Thousands.

Records of great earthquakes ELL a
large space in the worlds history, and
instances where people have persisted by
thousands from this cause are mourn
fully numerous. An earthquake accom-
panied by volcanic eruption destroyed
the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
and buried most of their inhabitants in
the ruins in the year 70, A. D. The en-
tire world was shaken from pinnacle to
foundation stone in the year 543. In 557
Constantinople suffered terribly from an
earthquake, which killed thousands Of
its inhabitants. In 742 an awful shock
visited China, India, Persia and Palestine,
killing hundreds of thousands Of human
beings, besides beasts beyond calculation.
In 1853, 10000 person persisted from An
earthquake shock in Syria alone; in 1868,
10000 were killed or buried alive in
Cilicia. In 1856, 10000 were killed in
Naples. In 1851 Lisbon, Portugal, had
her first great shock-that which killed
10000 people. In 1926 Naples was again
visited and had 10000 of her people taken
away by the earthquake demon. The
next year the SchamaH was constantly
rocked by earthquakes for three months,
during which time $4,000 persons were
killed.-St. Louis Republic.

The Handkerchief in France.

Lace was used to ornament handker-
chiefs in France as early as 1884. In
1913 they were embroidered and had tas-
sells at each of the four corners In the
time of the Directory, that period of
fashionable eccentricity, they underwent
many vagaries. Those ladies who did
not care to wear the pocket attached to
the girdle and wished to have the hands
at liberty tucked the fan into the belt,
slid the purse into the corsage and had
the handkerchief carried by gallant,
to whom it was necessary to apply when
it happened to be needed. If the hand
kerchief carrier could not be found, or
was insidiously flirting with another wo
man, and the nose imperativeay demand
ed blowing, the case was serious.
When the French blow the nose, It
should be remembered, it is for all it is
worth. No one who has not witnessed
the performance could ever believe the
nasal passages possessed of such a sonor-
Gus quality, and when the effort is sew
eral times repeated one might easily i'm
agine himself listening to the Angel
Gabriel rehearsiRg for the last judgment.
The French fashion in this respect is not
to be recklessly initiated like Paris styles
in laces, silks and satins, fans, dresses,
bonnets and other things pertaining to
female atheism Francisco Chronicle.

We have been there: but it was always on

a fifty miles per-hour speed over this ele

Ingersoll on California.

In a recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt
It's equability is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fled from superfiuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life.'

Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.

A Few Suggestions for the Tourist.

When contemplating trip of any kind,
the first thought that most naturally sug-
gests itself is, How can / derive the
most comfort out of this trip" To this
answer is, take the Missouri Pacific rail

The next question to solve is, "Where
shall l go to get correct information rela-
tive to this trip" The answer is, at the
Missouri Pacific ticket office, at 100 N
Main street. Last, but not least, is to get
my ticket just as l want it. and baggage
checked when j want it, and my sleeping
car reservations through to my destina-
tion. All these accommodations you will
