SENATOR JOHN MARTIN.

The folly of a Populist legislature
electing a man who is not fully
pledged to Populist principles, to the
United States senate is now seen if it
never was before. In another column
will be found resolutions adopted by
the Lyon County Alliance respecting
Senator Martins bill for the retire
ment of judges of federal courts.
These resolutions speak for them
selves, and they undoubtedly express
the sentiment of ninety-nine-hun-
dredths of the industrial classes Of
the United States. The creation of q
civil retired list is in perfect keeping
with the sristocratic tendencies Of the
times, and it is much to be regretted
that Kansas Populists should have
sent man to the United States SEN
ate to introduce and champion a bill
Of this kind.
1t Is equally humiliating to know
that this same senator should be
found in opposition to every POpulist

in the senate opposing the bill for the
establishment of depots at the town
sites located by the government in
the Cherokee strip. Upon that ques-
tion, as upon every other, Senator
PETER is the representative Of the
people, and when John Martin op-
poses him and the other Popullst
senators, it is safe to say without
further investigation that he is using
his position in the interest Of monop-
oily. In this instance it is especially
clear, upon the merits of the question
who he was working for. It is to be
hoped that the object lesson here pre-
seuted will be sufficient to prevent
any future Populist legislature from
repeating the mistake made by the
Kansas Legislature of 1928.

THE DUDE sBORErARY OF AGRI-

There seems to be in Secretary
Morton's little mind no conception Of
a limit to the humiliation the sgri-
cultural classes of this country can
endure. He is always ready with
some kind Of an utterance by which
he can show his contempt for that
class of people whose interests his
Office was made to serve. On the Goth

This is the headline in some Of our

Of the assembly at the Boston state
house Of five thousand unemployed
men, hungry and ragged, and with
starving wives and children at home,

Now suppose a machine is con-
structed that, with the supsrlntend-
ence Of one man, will accomplish
that same work in the same length OF
time. Instead of permitting the five
men to continue to do that work by
working one-ffth Of the time, four Of
the five are discharged and the manu-
facturer resps the advantage Of Sc
curing Che work at one-ftth the
former cost, not counting in this esti-
mate, of course, cost Of power and
wear and tear of machinery. But in
too many instances the whole five men
are discharged, and their places filed
by one woman or one Chlld at a
greatly reduced wage. This cause,
together with the large immigration
that has been flooding the country
under these conditions, will very
largely account for our present en-
forced idleness. All of these unfa-
vorsble conditions have Of course
been greatly aggravated by the con-
traction of the currency, by the inter-
est system, and by many other causes
too numerous TO be mentioned here;
and we desire now to repeat that we
do not offer the increase Of the cur
rency as the sole remedy for these
conditions. Necessary as this is ad-
mitted to be, other things being left
the same 1t would do us no good. The
means which have enabled the few
now in possession of the great bulk
of the money Of this country to ac-
quire what they now have, would
likewise enable them to secure
all that might be issued, and thereby
augment their power to oppress the
balance Of mankind. The statement
of the causes Of our condition is sug
gestive of what the remedy must be,
though it's discussion would require
too much space for this article. Suf-
fee it to say the remedy Is not to be
found IN the republican tariff system,
and the sham battle of the republican
and the democratic parties is de-
signed purposely to divert attention
from the only remedies that could
possibly be effectusl. To this diver
sion the Capital is lending its infence
and is, therefore, directly opposed to
the improvement of conditions so as
to give employment to labor, and
thereby make q market for and in
crease the prices of all the products
of labor.

THE SHAM BATTLE.

The tariff farce is still upon the
boards, but the audience has ceased
to applaud. The Capital will of
course continue to play ITS role as
long as q spectator can be induced to
remain. In its issue of F Februsry 21
it has an editorial headed "a Pointer
for Debtors" commenting upon a
paragraph clipped from the Arkansas
City News (Dem.). Here is what the
News says:
Some people can never see but one way
of looking at a subject. Taking it for
granted that their wages would be reduced
by modified tariff (Which we do not ad-
mit), the purchasing power of those re-
duced earnings would be greater if one
dollar would purchase as much aS two dol
lars would under high tariff. How would
that hurt the wage. earner3
To this the Capital replies:
zone dollar would purchase as m uoh az
two dollars" under the Mckinley regime.
How do debtors like it? How DO democrats
and Pops like it who believe che purchasing
power of the dollar has already 'appEeci-
ated" to the danger liner What do these
parties think of law which will make "One
dollar purchase as much as two dollars"
purchased under the Mckinley tariff?
We will not undertake to speak for
democrats, but we will say on behalf
of the Populists that they think any
lasv "that will make one dollar pur-
chase as much as two dollars" is an
lnfsmy. The inconsistency Of the
Capital appears in the use of such an
argument against the Wilson bill.
The Capital has advocated the demon
etization of silver and the establish
ment of the single gold basis for
money ON the very ground that such
a policy would increase the value Of
the dollar and thereby add to the
purchasing power of the wages of Ia
Dor. II it were true, then, that the
Wilson bill would have the same Of
feet, the Capital to be consistent,
ought to approve it. It further
says upon this subject:
We believe three Glasses will be the
principal sufferers from this Wilson bill
laborers, in decline of the wage standard,
which has already begun; farmers, in con-
8. quent falling off in consumption, and
debtors by reason of a probable decline in
prices and enhancement of the value Of the
dollar.
Now if the Capital honestly thinks
that the debtors of this country,
which constitute by far the greater
part of our people, would be injured
by the passage of the Wilson bill
because 1t tC0uld enhance the UGlWe
of the dollar, how can it consistently
approve the fixed financial policy Of
both the republican and dsmocrsti 0

parties which alike have this sole end
in view!
II requires a large amount Of gall
for republican editors to constantly
speak Of the unprecedented pros
perity of the country under republi-
can administration, and to date the
beginning Of the fall Of wages with
the beginning of democratic admins
tration. What has been the meaning
of all the strikes that have taken
place under republican administrs-
tlons We're laborsrs striking then
against a raise of wages due to the
Mckinley tariff? What is the use Of
such attempted deception? Does the
Capital think the people have for
gotten Homestead and Buffalo and a
thousand other strikes against q re-
duction Of wages that have occurred
during previous republican reigns?
Who does it think to deceive by such
nonsense? One thing more from the
editorial under consideration:
Il is astonishing that democratic and
POpulist organs in Kansas, which have pro-
tested with - much eaFnestness against
the appreciation of the dollar, should aotu-
ally defend the Wilson bill on the ground
that il will double the value Of the dollar.
It ls not astonishing that the Cspi-
tai should make such statement %
the above, because it's fixed policy is
to mlsrepresent the Popullst position.
The editor of the Capital has never
seen any such defense Of the Wilson
bill as he here speaks Of in any Popu-
list paper in the United States, and
he knows it. Populists everywhere
look upon this tariff contest between
the two old parties az q sham and q
fraud, designed to divert attention
from the vital questions relating to
the welfare Of the people, and if any
of them have spoken fsvorsbly Of the
Wilson bill they have never offered
any such argument for il as the Capt.
tai indicates. Nor does anyone seri-
ously believe that the bill, if adopted,
would have any sppreciable effect
upon the condition of the country.
A high tariff or q low tariff or no
tariff at all are Of little consequence
compared with other things. One
point in connection with the subject
we desire to keep prominently before
the people, viz: That the repub-
lican tariff system protects nothing
but the manufacturer. There is not
now and never has been any tariff on
imported labor. This ID a commodity
that can always be bought in a free
trade market, and the pretense OF
beneftting the American laborer
therefore by the republican tariff sys-
tenn is both fraudulent and hypo-
critical.

Of farmers, and in doing so he re.
peats part Of his letter to Governor
Shortridge, Of North Dakota from
which the following is extracted:

the part of all the donatses should inspire

preservation ought to make Jealous every

means Rs his command for either utilizing
or eXterminating the Russian thistle. But
federal legislation can neither externninate
weeds by statute, nor by attempting TO in
vest powers in others, which in the minds
Of many do not pertain to itself.
Under other conditions il would be
patriotic TO overlook the horribly bad
construction Of the secretsry's SEN
tences, which in itself is enough to
make the average Kansas school boy
ashamed Of his country. A member
of the cabinet Is granted certain
privileges, even to the extent Of
butchering the language il he so de-
sires, and the reader must not sus-
pect that he does il through ignOr-

CHICAGO, Sept. i5.-The Chicago
board of education, after somewhat
tempestuous discussion, voted to aban-
don the old slanting system of penman-
ship and to introduce into the Chicago
schools the vertical system. The board
introduced another innovation, the bath
tub, as factor in education. A part
Of the basement OF Jones school, corner
or Harrison street and Plymouth Place,
will be fitted up with bath tubs and the
same will be done with the basement Of
the Washburn school, Fourteenth
street. near Desplaines The truant Of
ficers, IL is stated, are constantly find
ing children whose physical condition
makes it undesirable to have them
thrust into the schools. Then, too,
there are other pupils whose parents do
not appear to have clear apprecia-
tion of what a proper degree Of
cleanliness is. SO henceforth, in
these schools, at least the city boys
all receive a scrubbing under the super
vision Of the school janitor, and girls
who look as though q bath would inn
prove their appearance win be taken
charge of by the women who are en-
ployed as assistant janitors The board
deemed it as essential that child
should know the value of soap and
water as well as the double rule OF
three or the theory Of the tides. The
plan to supply the schools with bath
tubs was originated by Mrs. J. M.
Flower, who recently retired from
three years service rs q member Of the
board Of education and who Is now a

yersity.

order to protect the Japanese settlement
