People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-09-09

There is no doubt but that the
world is progressing, but why at such
a snail-like pace? We are given to
much Dragging Of our advancement
over other ages and our superior civ
ilizatiOn as a people, but when we
contemplate and even fOresee many
and varied advantages which are en-
tirely reasonable and ought at present
to be the inheritance Of this people, Is
it not strange that we are content to
worry along with scarcely a visible
step forward? This is indeed an en-.
lightened age. We are a progressive
people, but it takes no sage or philos-
Opher to explain why and how we
may not have been far In advance Of
what we are. Any well-read person
can see and comprehend it.
1t seems to be inherent in all races
to cling to old tenets and practices,
though better way be demonstrated
and clearly pointed out. Though
leaders may advance and beckOn and
encourage to come on, there is a dis
position on the part Of the masses to
linger, with strange and unaccount-
able desire to return to the flesh-pOts
of Egypt.
There is no reason for this in this
enlightened age. There is no reason
why we should not advance twice as
rapidly as our fOrefathers did, yet we
are quick to denOunce all who propose
step forward as mere theorists and
viSiOniSts. We are too quick to pro-
nounce sound reasoning as impractic-
able and visionary. Theories put
into practice have revolutionized the
civilization of the world time and
again. We look back and express as
tonishment and disgust at the ignor-
ance, superstition and bigOtry of past
ages. And yet we hesitate and MUIR
mur and revile at well-founded prop
OsitiOns to better our own moral, So
cial and political condition.
This is all wrong, and an inconsist-
ent, ignorant, hurtful disposition.
We cannot hope to improve and ad-
vance by insisting on standing still or
turning back. The mOttoOf all lovers
of progress should be onward and up
ward. Tagging, hesitancy and fear
are unworthy this day and genera
tiOn.
Nothing venture, nothing gain.
The Peoples party proposes, not only
one, but many, steps forward. Will
you join the progressive, marching
host, or will you stand by the wayside
and join the blind, partisan, cowardly
demagOgues in crying out, Calamity
HOwlers, "POpgun Theorists" etc?
Choose for yourself whether you
will impede the betterment Of your
own and your neighbor's condition or
whether you will assist to bring about
a new order Of things as soon as pos
sible. November is the time. The
ballot is your weapon.

President Harrison has given his
letter Of acceptance to the public.
1t is rehash of the Minneapolis
platform and a tame political dOcu-
ment. He says he is in favor Of free
coinage II you will put the intrinsic
value In it. That is simply a blind
to catch the votes Of the silver states.
He would not sign free and unlim-
tied coinage bill such as the people
demand.

Scott has been misquoted, as he has
been in Tennessee ever since the

A Pretty Complexion.

The best thing in the world for the
complexion is equal parts of glycerine
and rose water, and the best results
can be obtained by using it on the
face, neck and hands every night be-
fore, hands and neck every night
before retiring. 1t is very little
trouble, in fact more of pleasure, if
you wish a pretty skin, and it prevents
blotches and freckles appearing on
the face. When you see a lady with
pimples and other blemishes on he1
cheeks you can rest assured they are
caused by impure food, and we know
this has been taken in ignorance. Use
Horsford's Baking Powder if you wish
the safest and article in your cakes

An Awful Accident.

Platteville Witness.
Mr.. David Lille, residing in the
town of Lima about five miles north
west of this city, had his left arm
torn off by a power husking machine
on Wednesday last. He had recently
purchased the machine and was using
it for the first time. His hand was
caught and his arm was drawn in,
shredding it above the elbow. 1t took
nearly half an hour to release him, it
being necessary to break the machine
with a crowbar. Mr.. Lille remained
conscious all the time and when re-
leased walked to the house unassisted.
Drs. Oettiker and Gasser were called
and amputated the arm between the
elbow and shoulder. Mr. Lille is an
industrious citizen and has the SYM
pathy of all his friends and neigh
bors. He is doing as we'll is can be
expected.

A Scarcity of Honey.

Platteville News.
People don't understand why honey
is so scarce and high this year. 1t is
chiefly because during the wet and
cold spring such flowers as were in
bloom had far less sweetness than
sunshine would have given them.
Bees must eat the same as folks
whether they produce or not. In con-
sequence there is not honey enough in
the. hives to carry the swarms through
the winter. In some cases limited
amount of honey is sold at fifteen
cents pound, and the bees fed on
sugar at at four or five cents.
