Atchison Champion. Rep: While

tack the pure at heart remarks the
Kansas City Times. That papers
idea Of the pure in heart is illus
trated by it's studied defense OF ballot
box stutfing in South Carolina and

Journal of the knights of Labor:
Some wise man asserted that if he
were allowed to write the songs of a
country he didn't care who made its
laws. The Democratic statemen of
the South. too, are philosophers; they
don't care who does the country's
voting if they are allowed to do the
counting.

Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
The Pullman palace car company has
just declared another quarterly divi-
dend of So per share from the net
earnings which. assuming that the
shares are $50 each. is 16 per cent.
per annum on the investment And
yet this poor company refused to pay
its taxes to the state of Kansas until
this year: when it was compelled to

Topeka Advocate and Tribune: 1t
is no wonder that Kansas should breed
criminals of the Dalton and Brennan
stripe so long as the Republican party
wrapped the judicial ermine around
such criminal monstrosities as Botkin.
Senators who voted for his acquittal
may have overlooked this point when
the governor went into the senate
chamber and requested members to
vote that way.
Chickasaw Messenger: Well! we'll!
Whittier are we drifting? The Meri.
dan News says about this. that
If a man advocates free ballot and
fair count he is in favor of the in
famous force bill. This writer is
somewhat surprised to know that this
Meridian bootlick would own up so
early in the fight what he and his
bulldozing clique intended to do
stuff the ballot box. D. shame!
where is thy modesty?
Carolina Watchman: Says John
Sherman: You can't legislate money
into mans pocket" And Carnegie
fttingly illustrated the remark by
telling the story OF the lawyer who
informed his client that they couldn't
jail him for SO slight an offense
But bedad, "said the prisoner they
have me now" And a smile went
around the board as they drank an
other bumper to protection TO the
American workingman.

The Farmers Torch: We have
three farmers organizations in West
Virginia: The Grange the Alliance
and the Farmers Mutual Benefit as
ISOLATION. Why can't we have a little
fraternal intercourse even if we can't
get together. We have no quarrel with
other farmer organizations which
are only different churches aiming at
the same heaven. AS we all get
older why can't We know enough to
get together. Who seconds the mo-
ton?
The Tennessee Toiler: The gam
bling evil seems to be on the increase
The race course affords one of the
best facilities for leading the young
into such habits. Even some women
and girls are abetting the evil prac-
tice and even taking part. Public
sentiment needs Strengthening along
this line. When. however, gam bling
in the necessaries Of life is tolerated,
and even approved by some papers
and public speakers it need not be a
matter of surprise if other forms are
thought to be respectable.
Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Some of the jack-leg stump orators
are telling about the last Legislature
being controlled by the caucus.
There is not voter in Kansas who
believes that any member of the
Peoples party or the Alliance would
have been acquitted by the house of
representatives if he had been on
trial before that body under similar
circumstances and with like evidence
of crime against him. as was the case
with Botkin before the senate. Yet

stituents of those senators who voted
for acquit,al have been holding their
noses ever since.
