Of the many schemes to rob the
people, the "innocent purchaser is
the least excusable. By it, the un-
suspecting have been robbed of mil
lions of hard-earned dollars. The
Observation-Disclosures feature of the
scheme is that, no matter how clear
the evidence is that a given transac-
ton is entered into on the part of the
confidence pirates, with no other
purpose in view than to rob, the
courts rule that the obligation must
be paid. Just now, the taxpayers
of various counties in Missouri are
being feeced to the tune of million
or more to satisfy an "innocent pur-
chaser"
The evidence of debt is enough
for the majority Of our modern
Blackstones to rule against the de-
fendant. The laws, written and un-
written, are made for the money
mongers.
Had we law compelling banks
and all others dealing in all kinds of
securities to ascertain the circum-
stances leading up to the issue of
any kind of securities, and whether
all contracts had been filled, there
would be less work for shystering
lawyers, and but few people would
be thus robbed.
Repeal all laws for the collection
of debts secured through fraud, or
of which every obligation connected
Herewith have not been filled to the
letter.

Dio. God doesn't know the voice
of some people, brother.--Leaven-

That's fact; the voice of the peo-
ple whom God does not hear is the
voice of the money-changers and
those who buy and sell doves. Christ
scourged them from the temple when
He ministered among men nineteen
centuries ago, and the descendants
of those he scourged from the tenn

terated, Simon-pure Democrat, and
he would forget all about the princi-
pies of the Peoples party. His in
fuence would be cast on the side Of
the Democracy, regardless of the
wants and desires Of the masses :
the common people.
Of course, they see that there is
no chance of fusion of the Demo-
cratic and Peoples parties, conse-
quently no chance for them to get
the postoAices and other little Offices,
SO they will take the next best thing
Republican boOdle-and they'll
nominate Democratic candidate in
order to TRY TO elect Funston, and
EARN
THEIR DOODLE
MONEY
But, the rank and file of the DEM
cratic party have joined the Peoples
party, along with the honest Repub-
licans who have abandoned their
rotten old hulk of party, and the
splinter of the Democratic party
that will get aboard the worm,eaten
Republican ship will not be able to
elect Funston.
Then, after the election, the Dem
ocratic editor above quoted will 40
as he did two years ago-pretend
to come over to the Peoples's party.
But he won't fool so many people as
he did the other time.

The Holton Signal says Kansas

The Holton Signal says Kansas
farmers are now paying off mort
cages at the rate of 81, 100000 per
month. We have Republican au-
thority for saying there is a mort
gage Indebtedness of 1926, 100000.
The net reduction on payment Of
mortgages during the last twelve
months is $4,000, 900, at which rate
it will take thirty years to chancel
the debt. The state contains l,500,-
600 inhabitants. Five dollars and
thirty-three and one-third cents per
capita saved from the toll of twelve
months, and much Of that saved by
the sheriff. Great is this latter-day
prosperity.

The Topeka Tribune has this to
say of reverend wolf in sleeps
clothing, who, for many years, ran
an usury mill in Topeka, and who,
in his unholy greed, reached two far,
and is now in the tolls Of the law !:
"John D. Knox is now on trial for
the embezzlement of 500 which the
complaining witness, Mr.. Fisk, Of
Boston, claims Knox collected and
did not turn over to him, as he
should have done. Why is not
John D. Knox sent to the penitenti-
airy and have done with him for
while ?"
The reason he is not sent to the
penitentiary is, he has hobnobbed
too long with Topeka upper crust.
1t is the lower million that is sent up.

More Fusion Talk.

NQOEC II uS1VM OAAs
A Democratic exchange gets of
the following:
"If the Democrats at Lawrence
nominate some man like Schoon-
over, Steve Allen or Jonathan Davis,
and the Peoples party fail to endorse
him, it will show that the former
Republicans have control of that
party, and that they want old Fog
horn"
eve have received two articles
this week from Peoples party men
which oppose fusion, but don't deem
it necessary to publish, as we are
satisfied from the number of Peoples
party conventions that have been
held and resolutions adopted by the
same, opposing any kind of coalition
with the Democrats, that they pre-
fer Funston to any compromise can
didate. There will be three tickets
In the field, and High Binding Irvine
Funston will have walk away, not
withstanding the pretended anxiety
to defeat him."
Pretended anxiety" is good. 1t
is evident to every one that all your
talk about defeating Funston is only
an evidence of pretended anxiety"
1t was the same way two years ago.
The Democrats talked long and loud
about defeating Funston-and the
rank and file of that party were hon
est in the matter, but the leaders
and editors were not. They saw a
chance for Doodle, and Doodle was
what they were after. A prominent
and reliable gentleman told us, a
few days ago, that he knew, and
could prove, that two certain Demo-
cratic papers were paid for support
ing Chapman, and that the
money was furnished by Foghorn
Funston's lieutenants. Money
was used in the Democratic conven-
ton, and caused Chapman's nomina-
ton. Many good, honest delegates
to that convention opposed the NOM
ination of a Democratic, candidate,
because they we're sincere in their
desire to defeat Funston but the
Doodle element prevailed.
The same old game is again being
worked this year. The office-hunt-
ing Doodle gang want straight-out
Democratic candidate for congress
$50 they say, and will be satisfied
with nothing elsa Democratic
Alliance fusionist, OF course, like
Hal! Or Livingston. Should they
succeed, their man would go to

The G. o. p. politicians tell us
sovereignty is with the people /; but
when we look at the work Of their
conventions, we are forced TO the
conclusion that it is simply the

REPUBLICAN papers are ringing
the perpetual changes on the $780,
600, 100000 of wealth in the United
States, but are careful not to men
ton the fact that it is in possession
of small minority of the people.
That the nation has $50, 900, O0O,-
600 of wealth is no evidence of her
prosperity. Where there is one
millionaire and one thousand who
toll from sun to sun for bare liv-
ing-where there are sweat shops,
where thousands of poor women toll
out their lives for a. beggarly sub
sistense-where there are workmen
who submit to cruel indignities
rather than resent them through fear
of discharge-where there are mil
lions of tramps, tens of thousands of
paupers, there is not prosperity.
The truth is kept from the people.
1--WE are paid" said Whitelaw
Reid at an editorial banquet, "tO
keep the truth out of our papers. !"
Those "literary prostitutes" are paid
to keep the people in ignorance of the
real condition of the countrywide
by the same kind of men that ruled
the nations of the world during the
Dark Ages.

If the farmer buys any patented
device which has been infringed up
on, the patentee can prosecute and
recover damages. The innocent
purchaser is out in the cold. But,
if a money-changer purchases a note
given by one of those same farmers,
the same procured through fraud,
the 'innoceht purchaser" is alto
gether different character. Great,
in deed, is the wisdom and honesty
Of our courts.

The stateliest turkey that ever in

pumpkin that ever grew ON vine undera

with memorable regularity, and still
there came no ring at the doorbell.

CHAPTER III.
THE COMING OF THE GUESTS,


For several days following that men,
orable fiasco of u dinner Mr.. Wardwell
led the life of a recluse.. He was regu-
lar contributor to great magazine, and
his articles all treated of travels in for
eign and unheard of countries. The fact
that his descriptions of the manners and
customs Of the Hindoos and Bedouins
and Malays We're singularly true to life
is all the more remarkable because he
had never been away from his native
village, and month or two after the
date OF this story he received u personal
letter from the editor Of the magazine
complimenting him upon his realistic
description of the burning and eating of
a European traveller by a cannibal. He
wrote this story during the sad days fol-
lowing the wrecked dinner.

PRINTER"
Mrs. Wardwell was inconsolable. Poor
woman, she couldn't find relief by writ
ing articles about people she had never
heard Of, and she began to grow rale
and was filed with nervous horror Of
meeting anybody, and she imagined thnt
she was the laughing stock of the town.
Nearly week had elapsed, and her
sorrow was as heavy IL not SO hysteric
as ever, when one day there was All en-
thusiastic ring at the doorbell. There
wasn't servant In the house; she must
either open the door herself or have her
husband do it, or leave 1t unopened.
She decided to adopt the husband plan.
She wouldn't have opened 1t herself, for
she was morally certain that she would
be confronted by some heartless mocker
who would shrek with laughter over
her disastrous dinner, and SO she called
her husband. That brave man with q
severe face went to the door and opened
1t, and fairly shook with rage and Won
der. What manner Of refined insult was
this?
Standing before him, smiling as bland
ly as though they had never grievously
and wantonly wounded him to the quick,
were the men and women he had in
vited to his Thanksgiving dinnerl There
was the doctor, fairly bubbling over
with mirth and good humor; and the
sweet singer, with roll of music under
his arm; and the editor OF The Gazette,
pompous in the knowledge that he, and
he only, was tho author of that sublime
article, "Whither Are We DriftingT
and their wives were with them, and the
other men who had been invited were
there with their wivesl 1t was evidently
conspiracy to humble and crush and
wreck the life Of Theophilus Wardwell.
For moment he seemed disposed to
slam the door in their faces, but he
arrested the motion of his arm. Then it
looked as though he would turn loose
the simoom OF his wrath, but the words
died on his lips, and he ended by invit-
ing them all to walk in, smiling sar-
donically, and "every one knew that
some one had Numbered" He led the
procession into the parlor and then CALI
ed his wife, who joined him in a maze
of bewilderment. And when the guests
were all seated. equally stupefed with
wonder, Mr.. Wardwell faced them and
said, with magnificent sarcasm:

they cried. And the musician fairly
surpassed himself in singing that touch

and the professor discoursed 50 admira-

the editor Of The Gazette recited his

that some of the ladies wept again.
The dinner lasted two hours, and
when 1t was over there was heard
ring at the doorbell, and who should
have done the ringing but the foreman
Of The Gazette, whose doom had been
pronounced. He had come to call the
editor away on important business, and
it was quite affecting to see that able
man embrace his subordinate and say:
"Your wages are raised two dollars a

A loop of corset lace is so
much more natural and pleas
ant than a metal eyelet, it's
odd that the loop wasn't
thought of first.
But that's the way with in
ventions; the awkward ones
come first.
1t was so with corset bones,
and with corsets themselves.
The best "bone" is Kabo
that never breaks or kinks.
Nobody uses Clones any
more.
And the corset for ease is
the Ball, with its coils of fine
wire spring.
You can get the Ball corset
at almost any store in the
country, wear it two or three
weeks, and return it if not
satisfactory.
