rapidly as possible, and within the last

being successful. This is the fifth

assembly (legislature) of the great
state of Kansas to appropriate money
to support the editors of the reform
papers in the state Of Kansas, and
give to every family in the state OF
one or more who can read the ben
eft of reform paper free of charge,
and let the people be educated, that
we may be able to roll back this
mighty ocean wave of future dark
ness Of degraded slavery, of de-
struction and ruin that is being
forced upon our people by traitors
to this government.
In the name of Almighty God,
let the fools of this country wake
up, and the blind get their eyes
open, because those European noble
men are the most powerful and the
most dreadful and the most wicked
of all men that live upon the face of
Goes earth, and just as soon as
their financial schemes in this coun-
try are defeated, they will urge war
against the American people, and
all hell will be turned upon us. We
will have to fight all the dominions
of Great Britain, the Tories, the
traitors, the Benedict Arnolds in
this country, and the wild savage
Indians in the United States, just
as our fathers did during the Revo-
lutionary war.
Now, it is the duty of all states
that belong to this Union to make
and establish laws that will protect
all Of our people, and maintain and
defend our government agaist the
power of Great Britain, and let SEN
ators and representatives in con-
gress who are not loyal to this gov
eminent be damned, because they
have brought hell and damnation
upon their own heads.
know it requires brave men to
print these things, but it is our duty
to fight this money power with the
spirit and courage of our forefatness
of 1916. Now, let sill the people of
the nation who loyal to this govern
ment, be honest, be faithful and true
to their calling, and assure you
God will be ON our side, and the
front ranks of our party will be
filed with valiant men, who will
lead us on to victory

This condition of things ought not

1t is known to all that nearly all
the members of the church are wOm-

the church work of all sorts, from
teaching the children in our sunday
School to the periodical cleaning. is
done by women it is well under
stood that the churches would fail
were it not for the women. Usually
there are men enough to hold the Of

sometimes this is not the case. AS

In the name of common sense what's

l wonder the preachers, bright and
dull, great and small, black and
white, feeling the humiliation OF
standing before an audience mainly
composed of legal affects and finan-
cial paupers do not set to work to
renovate and elevate their churches.
They could do it. By adopting, and
teaching, and achieving woman suf-
frage, they would have at command
large body of voters who would
put conscience into the elections.
The mother would not vote to sus-

A POLITICAL SCHEME.

The Gazette was in error yesterday
in saying that it was the Chairman
of the Board of Regents Of the State
University who had commenced the
suit to GUST the Governor and Attor-
ney.Genersl from the Board. The
suit was instituted by G. e. Mack, Of
Storey county, q member Of tho
Board, but not its Chairman, who is
II. L. Fish, of Reno. In this connec.
ton we will say that the Gazette has
endeavored to be perfectly fair in it's
comments upon the institution of this
suit. While it could discern no good
that was likely to result from what
was claimed to be q friendly "test" OF
the matter in the courts, it accorded
to ito institutor the credit Of the only
motive, which We understood he
claimed, for bringing it, namely, the
desire to settle the matter for all time
90 that there would be no future
question in regard to it, aud that
Shere was no partisan feeling involved
in his action. We regret to state that
subsequent Developments have caused
us to dOI, the correctness of our
6ras. impression, for q member OF the
Board OF Regents, who would give,
over his own signature, al his only
reason for not supporting applicants
for subordinate positions at the Uni
versity, that he could not be expected
to vote for persons who had opposed
che Silver party at the last election,
might possibly be tempted to en-
deavor to place the Same ban upon his
associates upon the Board, who had
chosen to vote differently from him
last Fall. II rejecting applicants for
no other reason than voting another
ticket, isn't carrying politics into Uni
vsrsity matters with vengeance, and
with q vengeance, and with 2 great
big V, we are at q loss to imagine
what would constitute such an act
Gazette.
If Mr.. Mack, ns the Gazette init
mates, makes political utilization, and
not fitness, q test for positions in the
State University, he deserves the
condemnation OF all who have the in
terests of that institution at heart
The people Of the State, irrespective
Of party, bear the burdens necessary
to support the University, and they
will not consent to it's being made n
part Of the Silver party machine to
further the selfish ends Of scheming
politicians.
Keep politics out Of tho University
and build up an institution Of learn
that will reflect credit upon the State
and have the confidence Of tho peo-
pie. Make political Hffiliation the
test and its usefulness is destroyed .
