The Douglas county Democratic bosses
having ordered the head of Judge j. S.
Emery, one of the oldest. ablest and
most uncompromiSing Democrats in
Kansas, be brought before them in n
charger, the demand is made that =
similar penalty be visited upon j. b.
Crouch, the fearless Democratic editor
OF the Hutchinson Times. Verify. it is
n fearful thing for Democrat TO enter
tam and express conviction in regard
TO the party's best interests. if such con-
v.ction be at variance with the personal
selfish interests of the bosses. Democrats
who do not want to lie kicked out of The

clrcunlspection in their opinions and
utterances; 10 say ones soul Is his own
is the height OF treason, punishable by

HONOR WHERE DUE

The assertion that is made by soma
=unscrupulous maligrers of GEORGE T
Anthony that as state railway commits
sloner he has done nothing or proposed
nothing for the relief of Kansas in the
matter of freight rates. is made either
ignorantly or with the intent Of ininr;po
him personally. The board of which
Mr.. Anthony is chairman. has done all
it is possible to do in the matter NJ a..
-justing rates upon fair and eouitabla
basis. That more has not been accom-.
plished is because of the Interference ~
the courts by injunction PROCEEDINGS
which practically tied the hands Of The
commission at time when it was hoDei
and believed relief to the interior iobbers
and shippers had been in large measure
secured, Instead of censure and con
demnation for failure to accomplish the
impossible, George T. Anthony deserves
the warmest commentator from tho
people of the entire state for his manly
efforts 10 give them relief from unjust
and wicked Determinations And he
will receive this from all honest. fair
minded citizens.

THE BIG SEVENTH,

Jerry Simpsons contribution to an
eastern paper upon the condition of the
people, his election to congress, and the
| notoriety he has gained has given the
! Seventh congressional district a great
| deal OF prominence as the fountain head
the real home of calamity, in the minds
of the people of this country. 1t is
here that has no parallel in any other
congressional district in the United
States, and this is true. The Seventh
congressional district of Kansas is one of
the largest in area; it is the largest in
point of population; it produces more
wheat, corn and oats than any
other district in this country. In
one year it produced $4,000, 900 bushels
of wheat, or an equivalent of
1Oc bushels for every man, woman and
child in the district, in one year it pro-
duced 81, 900, 900 bushels of corn or an
equivalent of 200 bushels per capita, and
fair sprnkllng of every other crop per-
tanning to this climate. The Seventh
uIStilCI contains more acres Oh tllfdDie
land, finer and better soil, produces
more, AID has better climate than
any other district in the United States.
Single counties in this district have pro-
duced over 1000, GOO bushels of wheat
and 5000, 900 bushels Of corn in single
year, and it is only because more land is
not cultivated that the products of the
district are not increased many fold.
Today this district is misrepresented
in congress by a jumping jack whose
record on the floor of the house of con-
gress is a continued string of monkey
shines and whose spare time
is spent III running over the
country lying about Kansas. 1t is
about time that Kansas should send men
10 Washington who will stand up for
her. Send men who have some reputa-
ton for brains and not those whose stock
in trade lies in their feet. Jerry would
have been far more successful had he
stood on his head and dangled his feet,
for that is where his feet belonged and
that would have kept his mouth closed.
If any district is entitled to a MAN to
represent her it is the Seventh congress
sional district of Kansas, and we believe
the people realize it,

BENEFITS OF REPUBLICAN LEGISL A
TION

Following is the splendid address Of
Hon. Jacob Stottler of Wellington de-
livered before the Republican Editorial
Association in this city. 1t should be
read by every voter In Kansas who de-
sires 10 act intelligently in the matter of
commencing or condemnins the party
that is responsible for the code of laws
of the state and their effects upon the
moral, social and material conditions of
the people. Being 4 resident Of the
state since its organization no man in it,
perhaps, is better qualified to discuss the
question IN a practical way than Mr..
Stottler: r.
Mr.. President and Members Of the Association
When one comes to examine into
"What Republican Legislation has done
for the People Of Kansas" he can hardly
find stopping place. Certainly the
time that can be allotted to this paper bv
the Association only affords glimpse of
the subject.
When the new era of Freedom dawned
on America, after years of fierce aggita-
ton, the Republican party sprang up as
its friend and defender.
1t was the Republican inspiration that
made Kansas free state. the contest
was for free speech, free soil, a free
press. Half the country at that time
was dominated by system which was
directly antagonlstic to the Kansas
idea.
Ii closed mems mouths and muzzled
the press. For expressing honest con-
victious men were bludgeoned. impris-
oned or murdered. In taking charge OF
the country the Republican party took
up its work for the betterment of Eu-
mainly and it has never ceased in per-
forming its high duty. II started bv
providing a homestead law under which
thousands of poor men and women were
provided with homes of their own. This
law had TO be passed over the veto OF the
then president of the United States, who
was the suhSurviant tool of the aristocrats
then controlling the government. Mil
lions are today enjoying the benefits of
this first great and beneficent act of the
new party, the best boon ever given the
American poor man.
The next great achievement OF our
party was TO destroy slavery forever on
American soil, The good effects of this
were hardly realized at tie time. Bv
this action labor was elevated anu dicn.-
fed. For half century or more the
ruling class in the country who were the
upholders of slavery had done their ut
most 10 degrade labor To q degree only
step above AFFECT slavery.

and their toadies denominatei Z man

his brow. "mudSili' of society. One Of
the best results of the grand new party's
Kew system was TO hft the social condi-

The recent capsizing of . xe.se

The recent capsiZing of q vessel
tied up to a pier in Brooklyn is suffi-
GENTLY unusual in that port to excite
comment but it is common enough at
ports along the bay of Fundy and it's
tributary streams. The usual rise and
fall of the tide along that bay is from
forty to fifty feet, and high tides some
times exceed sixty feet. With the fall
of the tide all crafts are left high. but
by no means dry, with an area Of choc-
olate-colorcd mud all about them. The
mud is too shifting to hold a vessel in
safety, so each pier is provided with
one or more strong wood frames called
shoes, fixed at the bottom of the stream
or bay. Upon these shoes all vessels
rest at low tide. 1t frequently happens,
however, that a vessel does not get her
shoe snugly on, SO to speak, and If
strong wind comes when she is thus ILL.,
balanced, over she goes into the mud, TO
be buried forty feet under the next
rising tide.

The Maine election has nothing con-
