SHERMAN COUNTY LINE

o. w. Hendee, the correspondent of
the Topeka Advocate, who was present
at the Osborn meeting Aug. 4, sends
his paper the following, which shows
how the cat hop viii go this fall:
sour next meeting was at Goodland,
the home of the rainmakers. Perhaps
there is not a county in the state that
is doing more to solve the irrigation
problem than Sherman, most of which
can be credited to the energetic Popu-
list, A B. Montgomery. While these
people are ''long" on real irrigation.
they are short on irrigation as laid
down in the Republican state platform,
knowing full well it was written to
catch what few suckers might be found
in their irrigation stream. But they
much prefer something practical like
the bill introduced last week by Father
Baker. the farmer congressman, who is
honored all over the district by all
political parties for his sterling homes
ty and integrity. And when he intro
duced his bill to authorize the seere-
tary of agriculture to establish reser-
voirs for the storage of rainwatr for the
tillable lands west of the Goth meridian.
channels for distributing the water be-
ing contemplated, and carrying with it
an appropriation of one-half million
dollars, the people in western Kansas
know that he meant something, and
they viii see to it that Mr.. Baker stays
in congress until his bill becomes a.
law.
sour meeting here was decided sue

speech he has made so far, at the close

THOSE SILVER REPUBIICANs.

In Thursdays Atchison Champion
letter from R. W. Blue, Republican
candidate for congressman-at-large,
tells how good friend he is of silver
Listen to some of his friendliness:
81 am now and always have been a
bimetallist, and believe in the use of
gold, silver and paper, but upon such
restrictions as will preserve the parity
of the dollars in debt paying and pur-
chasing power"
That sounds all right, but what does
it mean? It means that every dollar
must have backing, and that backing
gold. Since '73 this country has been
trying that same belief and how well
they have succeeded the repeated is
sue of bonds bear evidence. This
parity and restriction business is
goldbug scheme, chestnut worked to
death in Republican resolutions and
speeches, a statement which says silver
and means gold, and gold alone Fur
ther on this friend ~ of silver says:

tional. [ am in favor of full restoration
of silver as money, but it is not neces-
sary to bubble over ratios. They are
mere matters of detail and can be set
tied in the legislation for the restora-
ton of silver when it is reached"
Of course the ratio doesn't make any
difference. That is what the Republi-
can party, as the representative of the
money power, is working for. AS the
ratio is increased the power of gold is
increased is what Lombard and
Wall street wants. This is what the
state and national Republican party
wants. But farmer, mechanic, business
man, is that what you want?

NINE YEARS OLD TODAY.

For nine years The REPUBLIC has
been buffeting the waves of western
journalism. 1t has been identified with
the people of this county since its early
settlement, and has seen Goodland
grow from mere settlement, to its
present proportions. It has always
striven to champion the cause of our
people, state, county and town and will
continue to do so in the future With
you it has experienced the coming of
the seed time and the failure of the
harvest, the years of plenty and the
years of famine. But we believe that
Sherman county is just entering an era
of unparalleled prosperity which will
be brought about by a system of irriga-
ton which will make the desert bios
som and gladden. the hearts Of our peo-
pie. Then the seed time will always be
followed by the harvest, prosperity s
gentle hand rule us, in place of the ty-
rant-want- plenty, not privation
be the rule. In advocating the princi-
pies and supporting the Peoples party
we firmly believe that right is on our
side and in striving to break the shack
les from the limbs of industry we are
fighting for down trodden humani-
ty, who has been usurped from its
divine-given right, to live and to eat
bread from the sweat of its brow, by
pernicious legislation in favor of the
almighty dollar. Should the life of
The REPUBLIC be extended for another
nine years it would still be found on
the same side, beneath the banners of
reform, enlisted in the patriot ranks,
battling for freedom and the emancipa-
ton of the human race, equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
