DURING the campaign, Republicans told us
that Dick Blue, candidate for congressman-at-
large, was friend of the old soldier, and that
he was free silver advocate. We knew better
at the time, and said SO; and now comes the
Kansas City Star, one of Blues most ardent
supporters, and says: "Dick Blue says that he
did not declare himself for $25-per-1nonth
pension for ex-soldiers over SIS years, and Tor
silver coinage at 16 to I, as he was reported in
the ratification speech. He got through the
campaign without making any declaration like
that, and there is no reason why he should
break out now" The people who cast their
ballots for Dick Blue thinking he was the friend
of the people (if they really thought so) will
as surely learn that they have been duped as
did the people who were robbed by Blue and
his fellow bank-wreckers.

So you have got yourself into trouble,
my son? Gone a little wrong, have you?
Yes; we'll that means, you know, that
you have gone clear wrong, because there
is only one kind Of wrong; there is no
mugwumpery in morals, my boy. And
you've had such a hard time getting back
that it made you little bitter and cyni-
cal, and you think all the world is rather
hard and selfish and pitiless, and speci.
ally severe on you? Well l would not
feel that way if were you. don't think
l ever did feel that way, and know more
about it than you do. I've been further
down the Jericho road than you. Went
down there to let my beard grow. Great
town for fools, from away back. It's
bad country. Never heard of but one
woman in Jericho, and she didn't move
in good society.
But my son, it isn't society's fault that
you got into trouble. You knew what the
Jericho road was before you went down
that way. You knew there was curse
on the town. You were safe enough in
Jerusalem; why didn't you stay there
DO not feel bitter towards all the world
because you fell among thieves and got
cleaned out. 1t is a kind, good naturcd,
forgving old world. True. it does not
always look that way to fellow in trou-
BILE, because then the fellow is apt to look
at the wrong people.
"You found on the Jericho road, say
six or eight thieves that is half a dozen
professionals, and two amateurs, who
passed by on the other side, and only one
Good Samaritan, and naturally it seems
to you that the leaven OF good is utterly
lost in that great mass OF rascality and
hypocrisy; but bless you, my son, in the
great, honest, living world, in the world
that is trying to do right and trying TO
lead men to better things than Jericho
excursions, in the only world that really
lives and cares for just such fellows as
you, in the real world of men and women
who deal with the young men all the
more gently when his smarting wounds
are deepest, the one Good Samaritan out
weighs regiment OF these villains, who
beat you, and robbed you, and passed
you by on the road to Jericho. Never
mind the priest and the Levite, my son.
They are going down to Jericho, too, you
remember; that's the kind of priests they
were.
And one closing word, my son. Unless
you are smarter and stronger than the
thieves down Jericho way-anG l guess
may be sou are not, very few men are
why, you keep off that road. You stay
in Jerusalem, aud you'll have more mon
ey and less headache.
