SPRINGS,

Great Care Should Re Taken to Keep tho
Water Pure.
Too many of the sources of the water
supply of our pastures are contanIi-
mated by cattle wading in the springs
and dropping their excrcments within
the basin in which the spring is stu
ated, into which all loose material is
washed by the rains of summer. Such
contaminated water supply is highly
undesirable for the use of dairy cows.

Smith county Populists take the cake,
and "don't you forget it." Excuse the
slang, Mr.. Editor, but l don't know how
else to express it. l thought the King
man county boys, and the Pswnee
county fellows, and the Washington
county chaps, and a whole lot of other
counties were great rustlers, and they
are, but tell you, man, they are not in
it little bit as compared to the Smith
county hustlers, Why, last Wednesday,
August l, Il. 8. Osborn and Anna L.
Diggs were billed to speak at Smith
Centre, and you should have just seen
that crowd-fully 1000 people. Many
others put it larger, but when you come
to think of the county away out here
northwest, where there Is 80 much hot
and dry weather, turning out that many
people to q meeting at which no ;stste
candidate would be present, what do you
think the crowds will be when the poor
mans friend and brother, Governor
LsWslling, will speak at LsbRnon in that
county later in the ca mpsignH
Before dinner, the State House quar-
tette, consisting of Messrs. Henderson,,
Mscly, Nsher and Baker, rendered
some most excellent music, after which
Mr.. Butler, Of Abilene, and another

the toiling thousands, and by them put
into active circulation without usury,
blessing every legitimate industry in the
land.
'"Tne postal system Of charges should
be substantially adopted as to carriage
on this public highway. A bushel Of
wheat or other products should be taken
from Kansas to the seabosrd at the same
charge as from Chicago or any other in
terVening point, 80 that when the wheat
or other product is sold in New York
the Kansas farmer will realize just as
much per bushel for his wheat as will
the farmer in any other state shipping
over the same road.
Comprehend, il you can, the justice
and the benefit this would bring to the
West. Every producer and lsborsr upon
the line would be placed upon absolute
equality as to the price Of all products Of
similar kind and quality. The Eastern
farms and manufactures would not be
deprecated in value, but those Of the
West would be appreciated in value to
those OF the East, soil and climatic con-
ditions being the same. A continental
railroad, built by the government on
such q plan, carrying the people from
one side Of the continent to the other for
$5 q head, and their products to the
markets for a like nominal charge, how
long, think you, il would be before every
railroad in America would be pressing
Uncle Sam to purchase their fran
chises at actual cost, if not lessH"
The foregoing is not all OF that speech
by any means, but I have given enough
of it to show that the Populists are not
all thoughtlsss as to the details by which
they would carry out their platform
principles, were they in power, and that
here is plan among the many that have
been suggested by which the govern

master speeches Of r. s. Osborn, and it
was convincing one, too. Then little
Annie Diggs, God bless her, mounted
the platform, and Notwithstanding she
had just completed a series Of five meet
ings in Phillips county, where she had
had from 1000 to 1900 people at each
meeting, except Phillipsburg, where
there Iwere only about 500 present, she
seemed to be only in good trim for this
vast crowd. And how she did hold them!
Well, it was wonderful, to say the least,
and then at night, too, the opera house
was filed to hear her. And thus ended
the first meeting in Congressman BR-
ker's district. By the way, put it down
in your little book that Baker will have
larger majority than any congressman
from Kansas.
From here We started for Norton,
where Secretary Osborn was to speak
on Thursday. At PhilliPsburg o. L.
Smith; Of the state executive committee,
joined US. The meeting at Norton was
fair meeting, but not what it should
have been. The court house was full,
and the captain did himself proud.
Much credit is due the chairman and
secretary Of the county central commit
toe and q few other members. We be-
lieve by the time the next meeting is
held in Norton county, it will be as we'll
organized as any in the state.
On Friday We held q meeting at
Colby. Now there are about 700 voters
in Thomas county all told, and nearly
ons-hRlf Of them were at this meeting,
besides many Of the most intelligent
women Of the county. Mr.. Osborn made
the best speech he has made so far. o.
L. Smith gave an enthusiastic talk,
while "The ADVOCATE" man told story
or two, and thus ENDS our fourth meet
ing. The boys in Thomas county are
wide awake, and claim il each county in
the state will give ss large a Populist
majority according to their voting popu-
lstion they will be satisfied with the re-
suit.
The people up here will read the AD-
voCATE. for at Smith Center wa will
have 247 new readers, at Norton 12l and
OF Colby seventy-fve. You bet We are
R-growing, and DON'T you never doubt it.
Our good Alliance brethren up this way
are not much alarmed at the Third dis

How Government Ownership Might Be IF
fected,

the 23d inst, you quote the following
from the Emporis Gszstte: "Their
conventions resolve, their orators favor
and their papers demand governmental
ownership. But not a platform, not q
speaker or paper Of note ever offers q
plan for the government to secure the
ownership" For that editors consider
stion you suggest the plan Of the gov
ernment's commencing by the fore
closure of It's mortgage on the Union
Pacific railroad.
The statement Of the Gazstte is quite
remarkable in this: Flrst-ThRt it
should suppose that party platforms
were ever made to contain anything but
the general declaration Of principles
upon which the party would administer
the political power Of the government.
He ought to know, and probably does
know, that such platforms never assert
the details Of any plan by which these
principles shall be enforced. Second
It Is unfortunate that an editor OF 80
prominent paper should be so lacking
in general information ss to have never
heard or read Of some, at least, OF the
many discussions that have been held
and Of the plans suggested by the friends
Of this great movement, as to the best
mode by which the government could
properly secure the ownership Of all
public transportation.
But 1 only refer to this matter to call
the attention of the editor Of the Gazette,
as we'll as other thoughtful people, to
plan for obtaining ownership Of the rail-
roads by the government, suggested in
public speech made by me in Black
Hawk county, Iowa, as early as 1872 or
1873. 1 will here repeat the substance
of that speech relating to how the gov
ernment may and should procure such
ownership. said:
'That railroads armed with such vast
wealth and directed blythe brRiniest men
in the nation, possessed the power to COM
mRnd legislatures, congresses and courts
and that 80 long ss they were allowed
to remain individual enterprises it would
be an impossibility for the state or gem
eral government to control them to any
reasonable degree to the benefit OF the
public. That the only remedy for the
people was government ownership, and
that this could and should be accom-
plished in q way not to violate any mans
constitutional rights. That this rail
road transportation was an absolute
necessity to the settlement and dsvelp-
ment of this vast inland country, and
therefore, was pre- eminently Of public
concern, as much so as the mail carriage
and the creation and issuance of money;
and that the government never should
have allowed it to pass into individual
control, no more than it should permit
one individual or any set Of men to issue
the money OF the country or carry the
mails and lay such tribute upon the
people as they pleased. The transporta-
tion system had become an unbearRble
oppression and it was the duty of the
government to gain possession and pro-
tect the people. Not by con6scatiOn,
