Isaac D. Smead & Co. have received
word from Colonel Smead, who has been
10 the west for the past three weeks, that
the Kansas City Board Of Education
adopted the complete Smead system for
the large high school building they are
to erect. The building will cost $780,
900, and when finished will be one Of
the finest In the country. Chillicothe,
Marshall and Sweet Springs, Mo-, Win
field, Kan, and Fremont, Neb, have also
recently contracted with Smead & Co.
Messrs. Smead & Co. inform us that the
Kansas City board introduced the Smead
system into three buildings in 1889, into
four in 1890, two in 1891, and that the
Fremont board first introduced the sp-
psratus into one building In 1889, and in
to the high school In 1890. The present
contract covers two additional buildings.
Also that the Dodge county court house
at Fremont contains the apparatus. A
record like this speaks for Itself. Toledo

9AGTIONn ON THE TRUSTS.

From the Lawrence Record, June nth.
Upon one matter all parties should be
practically agreed. The trusts should be
denounced and leglslated against as a
common enemy. The Republican party
has just re-affirmed its opposition to all
combinations Of capital organized In
trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily
the condition OF trade among our citizens" "
II also "heartily endorses the action
already taken upon this subject" and
asks for further legislation to render
existing laws more operative.
It may be well TO ask to what faction
already taken upon this subject" the
resolution refers. So far as appears, the
only action of the attorney general under
the Sherman antitrust bill has been In
formation against firm of bobbin makers
In New Hampshire, whom the grand
jury cleared for the want Of evidence.
A case was inRugurated against some re-
tail druggists In st. Louis, but the prose-
cution gave 1t up. 1t Is true that civil
suit has been commenced against the
sugar refoer's combine, but the king bee
OF that trust, in a recent interview de-
clareS that his people are not in the least
uneasy at the result. 1t is too much to
be feared that his opinion Is founded
upon close observation Of the purpose
Of government officials. This Is a presi-
dental year, and the trusts need fear
little from party which relies upon
them TO furnish the funds for It's success.
But this statement of the action
already made, and soon to be taken,
should be convincing proof that the de-
mand Of the platform for new legislation
10 not irrelevant or unnecessary.
II ls noticeable that the "actlon" hereto
fore had been directed against the few
trusts which are not directly outgrowths
Of the tariff. 1t may be presumed that
"action" upon these combines, the most
dangerous and Ubiquitous of all, depends
upon their "frYing" qualities, and the
"fst" they promise to yield in the process.

CONCERNING THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The farmers Alliance Insurance COM
pany, in it's report to the commissioners Of
insurance, shows that it added 1911 policy
holders during the year and that 1,146 can
celled their policies. What does that meanS
If il is good why do so many farmers leave
it2
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
The above lie is being circulated
through the Republican press. Now, the
facts are as follows. We insure against
loss or damage by hail and said policies
expire when the hail season Is over, or
on September 1st of each year. Last
season we issued 1882 policies In the hail
department, and Of course when the sea-
son closed they were cancelled and re-
port made to the state department Of In
sursnce in accord Herewith. Now they
ask why do 80 many leave IL it is such a
good thing? To make long story short
will give you in few words our bust
ness 80 far this season. In our hall de-
partment we have issued 10000 policies
and IN our property department 1000
policies. We have nine out Of every ten
Of the !, 1,132 that were insured last year.
We keep eleven hands busy all the time
aud could use more. Will send you re-
port later, when we have little more
time. FRED JACKSON, Secretary.

WHAT JUDGE WRBB SAYS.

Judge Webb has the following In the State
Journal Of June 90.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Last evenings Journal contains the
following editorial paragraph:
"Few Topeka people realized that
Judge W. @. Webb had gone over into
the Peoples party ship until he had been
ION deck and thrown overheard as q can
didate for associate jutice. 1t is asserted
The advocate., 1892-06-29

that It has only been q few days since
the Judge, who was elected as q Republi
can to the last legislature, was canvass
ing for the Republican nomination for
state senator"
More than year ago, and when it was
believed that q vacancy was then soon tc
occur in the office of chief justice, the
State Journal published a statement
that was to be the Alliance or Peoples
party candidate for that office. And In
March last the Topeka correspondent oi
the Kansas City Star published a state
ment in substance that ! was talked OF fol
state senator as q Peoples parry candi-
date, adding, that when the last senate re-
fused to convict Judge Botkin, "soured
on the Republican party" am quite
sure that the Journal reproduced the
Star article. Now considering the very
large circulation which the Journal has,
and how generally it is read by Topeka
people, 1 supposed that q great many
persons 'realized" that I was acting with
the Peoples party.
AS to the other part of your article
no person at any time within two years
has heard me say, or in any manner sug-
gest that was, or would be, or expected
to be, or desired 10 be, a candidate for
state senator at all, either on the Repub-
llcsn ticket or on any ticket. Several per-
sonal friends, some of them Republicans,
have asked me If l was to be or desired
to be a candidate for representative
and my answer In every case has been,
and is, no.
It is true that when the late Republi-
can state senate, under the advice and at
the personal request of the Republican
governor and Republican officials, acquit-
ted Judge Botkin, (whose guilt was 80
overwhelmingly proven that the State
Journal and every other decent paper in
the state condemned the senate for its
action, and whose continuancein office is
alike dlsgracet to the state, most humi-
liating degradation Of the bench, and q
constant menace Of danger to the people
of his district aud for no reason except
that Botkln was a Republican, and the
house that lmpeached him was an "Alli-
ance" house, I not only "soured" on the
Republican party, but then and there de-
tsrmined for myself, that from that time
forth l would do everything in my power
to defeat the corrupt gang who had sunk
every principle Of decency and morality
for mere partisanship, no matter with
what party voted or affiliated, If Its can
dldates were competent and respectable
men; and right there / stand now. And
may add that this position of mine has
been known to hundreds Of Topeka peo-
pie for more than year.

aside. Sheriff Wilson says he tried the
contest business and got no sympathy
nor help. He would like to see someone
else try 1t on. He believed there would
be little trouble in showing it up.
