Houston Herald:
"The big majority of the police
are a gang of toughs. They are
walking arsenals licensed to shoot
off their mouths and guns with i'm

the city and disgrace to the COM
munity. How the council can
stand Marshal Erickson and his
regiment. of hoodlums is difficult
problem to solve. The siX-shOoter

This perhaps accounts for the
number of murders in the Bayou
City. Let the Herald come up to
San Antonio and it will find a
decent body of policemen, no
trouble on the streets, and no
shooting off either mouths or
pistols.

If there ever was a disappointed
man in Missouri, that man is Ker-
mel Jones, of the st. Louis Repub-
lie. The distribution of the pOliti-
cal pie don't seem to sit well on the
empty stomach of the Kernel and
he seems to take pleasure in max

jOinted nose. Evidently the Ker-
mel is now paying the fiddler for
the dancing he did for the Hogg

campaign in Texas. And the worst

A gentle, graceful little girl of the

"Do you know, miss, where your faith

Banner man, who endorses the senti-
ment there expressed, has at last tum-
bled to the fact that 1.-The people no

cal manipulation or sharp practice" of
the g. o. p. That party has just began
to realize ''where it is at" although it
has been warned time and again
through the fearless democratic press
as to where it was drifting. Honesty
of purpose would be a new thing for
the manipulators of republicanism in
Kansas, and especially in Barton
county, to get acquainted with-such a
novelty to them that we do not for
moment believe they will let it enter
into their plans. Even if they should
let the men in their party who are pos
sessed of the sentiment las certainly
some are) have the shaping of the
party destinies for the next few years,
the people generally would not have
their faith restored. Republicans-the
leaders, advocates and workers" in
the party-have so long preached pro-
hibition and patronized the joints, ad-
vocated reform in elections and bought
their way to Office, talked about
economy and depleted the public
treasury, professed friendship for the
poor farmer and wOrkingman and at
b1 I,
by legislation IN favor of the rich and
influential; they have done all these
things so long that should they now
profess contrition and repentance and
assume to practice sincerity and
honesty of purpose"-for a change

AN OHIO editor thinks that if a news
paper should one day print the con-
tents of its waste basket there would
be riot. There certainly would be
trouble in many homes, arrests in many
directions, shot guns in another and
trouble all around. But the patron
never sees the waste basket. He only
sees the beautifully printed page and
complains if one letter in fifty is upside
down, growls if one name in five
hundred is spelled wrong, kicks because
his communication has been condensed
into English, frowns because the editor
did not take his advice about telling
his neighbcrs and friends of their short.

Bro. Armstrong Has a Joint Fit.

A majority of near 200 of all the
voters in the city of Great Bend, male
and female, who voted at the city cleo
tion in April last, said by their votes
that they desired the city administra-
tion to pass and enforce an ordinance
that would compel the joint keepers in
Great Bend to pay a heavy monthly
fine into the city treasury or quit the
business. The result is that instead of
sixteen or seventeen joints running in
the city without paying cent into the
| treasury there are now, as near as we
can learn, but FOUR joints and they
pay their monthly fines.
Yet there are few men, and two
| of the editors of papers published in
the city, who are constantly kicking
| about the present state of affairs, max
ing much more of roar now about the
four joints than they did before about
the seventeen.
We took occasion last week to call
the attention of our readers to the in
consistency of the two editors in ques-
tion-Mr. Armstrong and Caraway-
and we have the extreme satisfaction
of knowing that each of them was hit
in a tender spot.
Caraway don't say much, only that
he is acquainted with more than four
joints-and the rapidity with which his
! brain is developing about the belt line
would lead US to suppose he would find
all the joints in the city.
Mr.. Armstrong, however, devotes a
column of the Beacon to an abusive
harangue in which he knowingly mis-
represents the meaning of our COM
ment and charges us with defending
lawbreakers, encouraging ''outlaWry
and anarchy" and being an aWfully
depraved, low down fellow.
His manner of inference and insinu-
classes the DEMOCRAT editor and all
the city officers in the same category.
He is harmless from the fact that he
cannot prove single one of his asser-

He should be the last man to charge
others with insincerity and double
dealing. He is known now to be one
of the most blatent, unreasonable pro.
hibitionists, though he has tried to
keep the fact from the knowledge OF
the peoples party followers who do moi
believe in that policy. While he has
told his people that prohibition was
not question in Kansas politics
should not be discussed, etc., he has
never lost an opportunity to pull any
and every string that might advance
the cause on which he has gone daft, ol
to malign and abuse those who see fiji
to differ with him in opinion On thai
question. He has set himself up al
purer, smarter, more loyal than all tht
city officers and all the people wht
elected those Officers

Peonla Getting Tired.

"The people no longer have an SYM
pathy with political manipulation or
sharp practice. What they want is sim
cerity and honesty of purpose along
given lines of political policy, and if the
republican party gains control in the
state of Kansas it must do so by con-
vincing the people that it is sincere in
the advocacy of the principles of the
party"
We TAKE the above extract from an
article in the Clafin Banner of last

safer, more satisfactory and profitable
plan of Investing" by actual purchase
of lands or opening of business in a
state that has all the natural advant-
ages of soil and climate that Kansas
possesses.
We believe that every stringent law
put upon our statute books that will
discourage the practice of borrowing
among Our own people and ''loaning''
among eastern men will eventually
prove blessing to the state.
