FARMERS. LOOK HERE.
Can 1t Be That You Like Cattle OF This
kindS

What does q. {. Clemens, the gov
errors legal adviser, say about you
and your farms? He says private OWL
ership of land is wrong-that you have
no right to own farms: that your farm
ought to be his as much as it is yours;
that land should be like the. air-free
to all He forgets that land and air
are different He forgets that no man
can get so much air as to exclude
others He forgets that the land is
valua BILE only as it produces, and that
he who will work and save and
improve must have guarantee
Of the benefits of his toll
Or else loafers and deadbeats will COB
bic up everything. But Clemens, the
great counselor of the present govern
Or, the man who made speeches with
Parsons, the Chicago anarchist, and is
himself an anarchist full fledged-this
Clemens says owning farms is fraud
On the community. Clemens has never
owned a farm or anything else, except
\ bad reputation. since the time he
sold his law library and spent the pro-
leeds on a roaring spree in Europe.
Perhaps his disbelief in the right of
others to own farms is based on his
OWN lack of such possessions.
Well, now. what have we next? Why,
Judge Doster to be sure. What does he
believe? Nothing. What does he pre-
tend to believe? Anything for a dollar.
What is one of his latest propositions?
1t is this: The right of the user is SUI
oerior to the right of the owner" Are
there. Mr.. Kansas farmer. draw near.
How does that proposition strike you
anyhow? The man who takes your APP
Piles because ne is hungry, or your horse
because he is tired of walking has a
better right to the property than you
nave. You have no business with the coat
n your closet if your neighbor wants
10 use it.
Does Doster practice what he
breaches? He proba bly, does, as be has
never been known to leave anything
that was not chained down. What is
Doster anyhow? Only slick lawyer
whose conscience got mislaid when he
was put together.
Who comes next? Perchance Mr..
3reidenthaL What sort of a chap is
lie? \ farmer who has known him
rom boyhood days told the writer that
.Bridey," as he called him, was always
azy, always windy, and always adj
rocating wild andimpracticable theor-
es. Such is the case. The editor of
he New York Christian Union is au-
hority for the statement that Breiden-
halls talk is as bad as the talk of John
Host. the New York anarchist. Breid-
initial blows hot and blows cold. but
Breidenthal man all the time. He
getting good money out of the pres
mt administration and will leave no
enny unreached for.
Now let us draw another name out of
he hat Who is it? Todd-La Dor
Commissioner Todd. This is the man
Who stole a letter written to Chief
Justice Horton by an insane woman
Who asked the judge to get her cup
# tea, or something of that sort, on
he train. Todd stole the letter out
# the judges files, or took it from the
land that did steal it. and published it,
# course, on the theory that it bespoke
dirty scrape on the part of the Chief,
Justice. Does any man with brains
enough to clog the eye of a needle sup
,ose that if Judge Horton We're to I'M
tertake an improper transaction with
wandering woman that he would
Keep letters exposing the business
iround where they would tell tales to
my who might read them? Todd. our
stomach turns. He knows as little
lbout labor statistics and how to COM
bile them as any other skunk knows of
= he way to preserve sweet breath.
His blasphemous, blackguard newspa-
Ser is what rot him his job and keeps
linn in it When did the farmers of
Kansas get under obligations to this
nan and what was it for?
Once more take up the hat What
name do we draw this time? Artz-
Artz, the warrior, the Acknowledgement
Mother of Moses. whence came he
Out of the soup or out of the sea-
Speak OF him gently, give him some rest
Sheriffs have need Of him wav out west
Artz is very slick, smooth rascal
who knows and says that the governor
IS chump and. Colorado fashion, is
working the lead for all it is worth.
Still again shake the hat and draw
again. Who? Webb-Judge Webb.
Here is a man once we'll thought of
but always considered erratic and I'M
reliable. His Shawnee county court
was deserted by clients and lawyers
because they had no respect for the
Judge. AS a judge he was an utter
failure. His populism began when he
was not returned to that court If he
had been reappointed judge he would
still be a republican. The Lord be
thanked for every republican of that
Kind who is eliminated from the party.
Judge Webb has done little for twenty
years but split hairs in judging the law
and pull hairs in practieing it He is in
his dotage.
Again go into this governors hat and
draw name. Look at it. Legate-
James f. Legate. Since Kansas first
but why speak i'll of the dead?
Throw the hat away. 1t is an awful
list. Farmers of Kansas, are these
your chosen people? If they are. your
brains have gone soft and your hearts
are full of cockle-burS and smut
