Thoughts on Woman Suffrage

The old argument that the women
did not want the ballot, and would not
use it, if they had it, has been fully
denied, by the recent municipal cleo
ton. We are proud to see it proven,
as we have always claimed, that we
would De found on the side of law and
order.
We realize that we are dependent
upon the men of this state for the right
OF suffrage, and knowing as we do, that
many men have never given the subject
serious thought, we ask them in the
name of the disfl anchised persons of
this state, to take it under considera-
ton and study the subject well. 1t is
question that should be studied from
a nOnp2rtisan standpoint. Is it right
or wrong, should be the question to ask
yourself, and after thoughtfully investi-
eating it, vote for or against the
amendment, as you are given to see
the right. In the first place we claim
it was all act of unscroupulous men
that deprived us of the right of the bal
lot. Daniel Webster, who was the first
of constitutional lawyers, when asked
for his opinion in regard to the dis
REIMBURSEMENT of the women of New
Jersey, said: Il see no way to deny
them the ballot except to claim they
are not persons under the law"
Now l would ask, why are we held
amenable to the law, if we are not
recognized as persons under the law.
The revolution was fought because
taxation without representation was
tyranny. Now why does this same
people practices this injustice on the
women of this country. William Ii.
Seward said, "justiee Is on the side or
woman suffrage" More anon.

the text, "Self-praise IS half scandal;
but would rdmark that the man who is
quickest to say "fool'' Is generally a
fool himself; the man who is quickest

We have heard Of a man who was toe

We have somewhere heard of legend
somewhat like this There was once
in southern Kansas politician, yea, g
republican politician, yea, man who
in his own estimation was a great edi
tor, a republican editor. And he at

yea, republican convention, at the
metropolis of COmanch9 County. AnC
as this politician weDded his way home

politician afterwards became great anC

OF the congressional committee.

The Railroad Organ.

We dubbed the Cresset a Santa Fe
organ, and their last issue proves it.
We did not assert they were bought or
paid or what their prices was. But
their argument last week and hereto
fore has been for corporations without
restraint in defense of the Santa Fe's
corrupt methods, in defense of Santa
Fe attorneys for legislative positions;
in defense OF anything that has the
brand of Santa Fe or corporation about
it.
They argue against any control of
corporations in Kansas because such
control checked railroad building in
Iowa. 1t was checked everywhere else
IN the west at the same time. They
! argue against the railroad control be-
cause the railroads have violated and
defied the interstate commerce law
the strongest argument in the world
for the stamping out of private owner
ship in railroads. They argue against
reduction of freight rates, while, on the
implements the farmer uses, he has to
pay 20 per cent higher freight than in
| Missouri, 100 per cent higher than IN
Illinois, and So per cent higher than
Iowa. The excuse that Kansas is a
I NEW state is not good. We raise so 900
carloads of grain more than Illinois
which at $40 per car would be So 500, 900
more than the freight on products in
that state. Yet you argue there should
be no control.
The Cresset says we have the cheap
| est passenger rates in the world, when
travel costs in Australia of cent a
mile, and In Germany of cent, and
in AustrO Hungary much the same
We can build railroads the cheapest of
any country in the world, yet we have
to pay enormous rates on watered stock
and interest on bonds. Yet last year
the Santa Fe after payment of interest
on bonds and encrmus salaries had d
net profit on watered and real stock of
! 81 1853 1913. At the same time thousands
of farmers were plastered with mort
cages and thousands went under the
hammer. Yet howl against the con-
troll, the choking off of the Santa Fe,
and like cOrmants, and prove yourself,
as you are, vIndicater of their con-
| sclenceless methods, an organ in their
behalf; and if you don't get paid for it,
at least in smiles and promises. you are
more obtuse Mr.. Cresset than we give
you credit for. In conclusion we have
simply to say, Lay on, McDuff, etc. :"

A Singing Argument.

Hon. Abner Taylor, of Illinois, a re-
publican, made short speech during
the last hours of the dead congress, of
which the following is the closing part:
Several persons, in criticising the act
of 1890 have said that if the certificates
that were being issued under that act
had behind them dollars worth of
silver that there was no serious obiec
ton to 1t. That is exactly what thew
have behind them. The certificates
are issued for the purchase of this sill.
YER at the market price so, as 1 said.
each one has a dollars worth of silver,
as estimated by the market world. be-
hind. The secretary of the treasury
has ample authority to sell bonds If
necessary now. 1t is true they would
be four per cent bonds, but they would
bring a premium that would bring
them less than per cent.
Inotice by the papers that one Wal
ter @. Gresham has been selected by
Mr.. Cleveland as his secretary of state.
Mr.. Gresham within the last sixty DAYS
said that he was good republican.
except that he was in harmony with
Mr.. Cleveland on the tariff question,
and as he was selected simply because
he was in harmony with him on that
question, / have been very much sur
prised that the author of this amend
ment, Senator Sherman, was not select
ed for cabinet position. Heis entire
ly in harmony with the president on a
greater question than that-tinance. l
do not think that Mr.. Gresham has
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1893-04-26

eyer had any experience IN revising a
tariff, nor do believe he is a great
tariff student. while the gentleman
who is the author of this amendment
has had great experience.
No man knows better how to make
money scarce and interest high than
he. No man knows better what the
Wall street money owners want and is
more ready to cooperate with them in
obtaining it than he. Therefore 1 can
not understand why he was overlooked
IN forming the cabinet, as the financial
question is greater than the tariff.
The president has had his Office for
the last four years on Wall street, been
breathing the air, surrounded by the
men who own money and who gamble
with it, and comes into power fully
pregnated with their views, and, haye
no doubt, will do everything he can to
carry out their views. But l wish to
say to him and the country that the
time for money owners controlling the
legislation of this country has passed.
A great empire has grown up in the
west, of which they have but little
knowledge.
The line between the two great par
ties has become somewhat dim. Men
are crossing and recrossing from one
party to the other, and this is owing to
the fact that the two great issues which
divide the parties are the tariff and the
financial question, and there are low
tariff men il both parties and men in
favor of contraction and expansion in
both, and if a fight is forced upon the
west by the incoming administration
for contraction of the currency which
will have the purpose of making money
scarcer and higher, the president will
find himself with a following in the
west. The dividing line between the
two parties will be broken down and
the parties IN the west-bOth north and
sOuth-will unite IN a common cause
against the administration and the
money owners of the east.
