DOWN ON COL. BRECKENRIDGE
JERRY BRICKHOUsE

To the Women of the Ashland, Ken
tmcky, District Greeting.
Although we know that we are only
voicing the sympathy and sentiments
of the representative womanhood of
the nation in this expression, yet we
especially desire you to feel and know
that your sister women of Kansas fully
endorse and most heartily approve of
your protest against Col. Breckenridge
being returned to the halls Of Congress
to represent(0 the silver-haired moth
ers, the loyal wives and innocent
daughters of the blue Grass State"
We rejoice in the spirit Of women who
dare to brave the world in their attack
upon this form and species of en-
trenched vice which has insolently in
truded it's braz9n front and coiled its
shiny folds about our national capital,
vitiating and poisoning our national
life.
That Col. Breckenridge, this self
confessed monster of vice, has shown
himself wholly incapable of a~ppreciat-
ing the nature and enormity of his
ofense is proven by his daring to in
cult his constituency by again asking
their suffrages for the position he has
disgraced and dishonored. And be-
cause we do not believe it possible for
a moral leper who cannot be true and
loyal to the mother of his children to
be true to his political constituents
therefore
Resolved, That we, the women of
Kansas, join hands with our Kentucky
sisters in demanding that no man
henceforth be elected to Congress who
does not require in other men and ex-
emplify in his own life the same high
standard of purity that is rightfully
demanded of women.

AFTER THE WRONG MAN.

one would suppose incapable of con,
stantly repeating a campaign SANDER
merely for political effect.
I beg to inform them that I never
burnt a law book in my life, eve sold

volumes Of Reports, and lever joined

that Messrs. Stovall and Richardson
may hereafter state facts instead of

having been elected to Congress, I felt
bound to give all my time to the work
for which 1 was drawing full pay.
I did not resume the practice after l

The only fault that can be brought
against our Sub is that the brotherhood
personally among members is not as
strong as it should be. I consider the
main spring of our organization broth

each other, do all we can for the social
and financial good of each other. Our
members do not do this as much as
they should. Any and everything that
one member can honestly do for an

"GIVE US SOME CORN"

Hon. T. E Watson was elected chair
man of the Georgia Populist State Con-

Atlanta Journal reports part Of his
speech as follows:
"Wemeet under strange conditions, -"
continued Mr.. Watson. "a year ago
we fed ourselves upon the ambrosia Of
Democratic expectations. To day we
are gpawing the cobs of Democratic re

EARLY MORNING ADVICE.

The policemen, at o'clock a.. N. had
just turned the corner when he met q
man who very evidently was not a
suspicious character, yet who did not
seem to be exactly where he ought to
be. The policeman, however, had no
intention of stopping him, but the
man, much to the officers surprise,
stopped the guardian af the peace.
'"Scuse me, he said somewhat thick

officer, c%uriously.

wo,,Id give employment to idle hands
and enrich the country by the rcsuit
of their work. There is no country IN
the limited States that would decline
20 have good roads made and presented
to the people.
Tdleness is the parent of crime. We
don't want a million criminals IN our
land. but we shall have them unless
those who have grown rich by fraud
shall turn their millions to good &C.
count by employing labor.
All hail Mayl Let this year usher
in the good time when men shall realize
the grand truth that all men are broth
ers. The fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of men. That is what the
May message means. Let each resolve
to extend the hand of brotherly love to
some less favored. Let the manned, the
halt. the blind, the idle. the tramp all
feel that they r not outcasts, but
that the glorious message of the gospel
of love and good will is to them. That
they are members of the great human
family and are participators in the
peace and good will proclaimed two
thousand years ago. Then we shall be
able to shout aloud in our happiness,
and feel that we can welcome the
happy May Day with clear conscience.

THE COLLEGE APPROPRIATION
QUESTION.
HENDERSON, n. @.

HENDERSON, N. @.
Mr. EDITOR:-I see from the articles
going the rounds in the papers that the
leaders Of the Baptist church are try
ing to carry into this campaign the
State appropriations to the colleges. I
noticed in your last issue an article
virtually advising all voters to refuse
to vote for any candidates who will not
pledge themselves to vote against the
appropriations to the colleges. Now 1
was IN hopes that none Of our papers
would pay any attention to a contro-
versy gotten up by any church at this
time; we have much more important
matters to settle now than this. These
schools have been aided for years with
out much protest. Why inject them
into this campaign? am afraid the
leaders of the Baptist church are not
the only church leaders that would like
to divide u party just now. Two
years ago after trying every other
dodge in the West the opposition tried
to divide the people on the Catholic
school question, but they failed, and I
hope reformers will be too smart in

MAY ALL HAIL!

Mr.. EDITOR:-Peace on earth, good
will to men! Never will the grand
proclamation grow old. Never will
mankind be tired Of repeating it with
a prayer and a sigh, a prayer that the
time for the fulfllment of the gospel Of
brotherhood shall be recognized as a
living reality, and a sigh because men
have been talking of the grandeur Of
the message for two thousand years
and yet most Of our time is devoted to
war rather than peace; to evil rather
than good.
Peace on earth! Is there peace9 Can
there be peace9 Not while men are
struggling, one against'another, to the
injury Of the many and the benefit of
the few. There is nc peace. Our
everyday existence is a constant war
fare-a struggle for life.
Good will to men! A million starv.
ing, another million idle. All, yes! but
then there are men with a hundred
millions of dollars; there are men
whose wealth it would be impossible to
count. Think of it. In this land where
we are never tired of declaring that
''all men are born free and equal" this
blessed May message is delivered to a
people who have the greatest inequali
ties and the most glaring extremes in
their midst.
Good will to menl Do you hear the
message, ye Vanderbilts, Goulds, Car
negies7 Ye who have grown fabulous,
ly wealthy, not by your own labor, but
by the toll and sweat of those who are
this May dimeless. Do you hear the
angels voice. What are you going to
do to bring about the period of good
will and peace7 The masses ask not
charity, they ask not aims; no, they
demand justice. Every dollar the
multimillionaires possess, every brick
and stone in all their magnificent pal,
aces are marked with the blood of the
workers and stained with the tears and
signs of wives, widows and orphans.
There is a curse on their gold, a curse
which will cling to it and to their souls
of the defrauders of labor, not alone
through time, but as long as their poor,
miserable souls exist.
Let the millionaires start and build
a thousand miles of good roads. That
