An Honest Dollar.

ITurrah for the honest dollar which
will buy nearly three bushels Of the
farmers wheat; which pay tine wages
of strong, able, industrious, willing
man for two days; which will pay for
Il man and team ten long hours i'll the
harvest field. Glorious, honest dollar!
1t brings US great satisfaction, and in
Il number of ways.
1t is satisfaction to know that
when we have received it for ten hours
labor in the harvest field we have as
much or more profit us the man who
hires us with it TO help save his thirty
-bushel wheat.
We rejoice in the honest dollar not
because it will buy us more of the
comforts or necessities of life than the
price of days labor did when we were
paid in ''rag-baby," deprecated cur
rency, for it will not by any means do
SO. But we rejoice because that when
we have worked enough ten and elk
teen hour days to earn II sufficient
amount of these same ''honest dollars
that we can take Betsy Jane and the
children and go to .Urup' and have a
money that will pass in any country.

please give them this quotation from
Il circular letter addressed to the mem
bers of the Amendment campaian clubs
by the state campaign committee:
Our committee is made up of people
from all parties, and the funds come
from people of all political complexion.
If You desire partisan speakers, that
is, speakers who talk politics along

THOSE who think that because Geo.
NJ. PnIlman formerly paid good wages
lie is still doing so had better do Il
little figuring. The water supply is
brought from Chicago at Il cost to the
Pullman Company of cents Per l 600
gallons and the employees pay 10 or p
times the cost. For gas they pay S2.2
per thousand feet, while Pullman &
Company pay 33 cents. So under these
conditions it kept the workmen hust-
ling to make both ends meet. and

cents OH wages without and rul,tction

plant went up.

poor to live surrounded by great wealth.
The poor of New York can, it is true,
go along Fifth Avenue during the long
winter evenings and stare at the
palaces. Here and there something of
the interior glow and splendor filters
out through the draperies. Such
crumbs as this ought, perhaps, to con-
sole the 200 unemployed, but they
do not. John Stuart Mill land Thorold
Rogers agree that that is the best gov
erned and best civilized country where
property is generally distributed and
where the great body OF people live in
material comfort. This is the case
with Kansas. The wealth is rs yet in
the hands of the many. 1t has all
been produced within third of IA
century by the people who now hold it..
1t was not inherited, nor brought in by
rich immigrants. Somebody starves
to death every week in New York-at
least have been told so. Nobody has
ever starved to death in Kansas so far
as can be .ascertained. The great body
of.people dwell in comparative comfort
They live IN easier life and are better
to-do thanthe great body Of the people
in New York city or state. Their
wealth is monument to the produc-
tive power of equality and liberty.
The material results achieved in Kan-
within Il third of Il century could he
achieved only by a highly civilized
people,
1.-The loan companies that have done
the most mischief have been owned in
the East. The unnecessary railroads
have been built by the East. If those
railroads have been foolishly OR dis
honestly managed, it has been,.by East

''In New York there are thousands
of cOachmen and foOtmen and house
maids and buffers, all clad in livery to
distinguish them from their superiOrs.
In Kansas they neither uniform the
dometlcs, tip the walters, nor ampu-
tate tile horses tails. New York OWNS
Il hundred silk hats and dresscoats and
tailor-made gowns to every one i'll
Kansas. The banquet in New York
is mere gorgeously decorated than in
Kansas, with more flowers, more sill
yer, more cut glass. The banquetel
revels in half dozen glasses of differ
ent shapes and cOlOrs for as many
| beverages. In Kansas there is but
one goblet and one beverage; but my
observation is that gout and dyspepsia
are rarer an ! the after-dinner speeches
| better"
The populists have never had con-
troll of both branches of the Kansas
legislature, SO that it cannot be told
what laws they would have passed II
they had been clothed with full power
and responsibility. AS it IS, they
have aided in giving the state con-
siderable good legislatson-the ballot
and bribery laws, for example, and
very large educational appropriations
and of seriously bad legislation there
has been very little"

FELL into A IMMATURE LAKE.
Pretty Office Girls Narrowing Ex-
perience on Broadway.
A Defective Sewer and Overlooking
Hydrant the Cause.

A defective sewer and the careiessness
Of street sprinkling men in drawing
water from a hydrant at the northeast
corner of Mail street and Broadway
were responsible for the ormation of a
miniature lake at that point this morn
Ing.
While a crowd gathered, as crowds
generally do when there Is something to
look at. a pretty, blonde-haired blue
eyed office girl appeared IN the opposite
side Of the street. She was late for the
office. and in her haste to get across the
street did not notice that the water rem
dered at least o~ne-quarter of the passage
impossible without a bridge. .
Gathering up her dainty crinoline, she
madea dash across the street in front of
a cable car. She passed the car safely,
but her impetus carried her to the bor-
der Of the lake. She tried to check her
flight n in so doing slipped and fell.
With II convulsive grasp at nothing
she tumbled full length in the muddy
water, which at that point was about six
inches deep.
She h%oundered about, screamed, sput-
tered and rolled over until there was
nothing but a ball of soaked clothing Visi-
BILE apparently before any one of those
standing about went to the rescue.
The unfortunate girl was then dragged
out of the water looking like a drowned
rat.
A gallant young man escorted her to
her office.
This was one of many incidents that
happened during the morning ere the
Department of Public Works remedied
the defective sewer.
