IT is strange argument present.
ed in defense of saloons that, where
there are saloons, there is much
more life in the town. This may be
true, but what kind of life !? Such
as will always be found where there
is drunkenness and revelery-the life
that degrades and debauches, and
not that which elevates and i'm
proves. And while there is more OF
the life that drags down to shame
more noise and commotion on the
streets-what about the life in the
homes of the dupes of the saloon !!
What kind of a life have the wives
and children of the husbands and
fathers whose earnings go over the
counter for drink? Pity for saloon
keeper is cruelty to the innocent.
Give us the kind of life that don't
require alcohol to keep it alive, and
the right kind of life in the town
will ever be present.

The only income tax, if any, that
will be talked about, and probably
passed, will be on corporations and
bequests. Many corporations are
composed of men of little means who
have united their capital and created
a business of their own. The only
way to break them down is to tax
them to death. The milIionaires OF
congress are, and will be after all
who are least able te pay an income
tax, and let the great cormorants go
scot free. Those who have great
wealth and pay taxes must not be
requested to pay any additional.
The least able must support the
government. Such is the edict OF
shylocks.

AT last, the great Santa Fe rail-
road is in the hands of receivers.
The big fish have made ready to eat
up the little fish. In other words,
Santa Fe stock has been forced down
to almost nothing. The large stock
holders will buy out the little ones
at small figure; the road will be
put in good shape by Uncle Sam,
and the fellows who bought stock
for a mere song will have STOCK to
sell at big figure. Great country,

A Fearless, Aggressive, Progressive
Advocate of All Reforms


The quadrangular debate at Salina
was closed by ex-Gov. St. John, the
"grand old man." He was preced-
ed by Mrs. Lease on the previous
Monday evening, who added glory
!. to her illustrious name, and was in
vited to make another date for that
city.
As for Gov. St. John, those who
heard him speak in highest praise of
his speech. He put his whole soul
into it !; indeed, it was supreme
effort.
The debate was opened by Judge
Caldwell, who took up a good deal
of time to say nothing. Even Joe
Hudson, of the Topeka Capital, ad-
mitted that Caldwell offered no solu-
tion of the industrial problem that
now awaits a solution.
Dave Overmeyer, who represent
ed che Democrats, gave his audience
a display of oratorcaD pyrotechnics

and down like stick"
