Carrie Was Singing "She Has Fallen b

Carrie Was Singing "She Has Fallen by
the Roadside"
Four colored girls were before Judge
Ensminger today for calling Mrs. Fannie
Clements an "old COW" and other names.
These girls were Fannie Wright, Carrie
Alexander. Carrie Jordan and Matte
johnson. They are as much at home at
the police headquarters as they are on
Smoky Row, and they are nearly rs
familiar with police court law as the
average lawyer who practices there.
Their records are as dark as their COM
plections and as crooked as Gus Mackey's
curves; and it has been long time since
any of them 'spoke piece" at Sun
day school concert The girls were all
discharged except Matte johnson, who
is slim and as long as the moral law, of
which she knows SO little. Her ''felIer"
is said to be connected with the medicine
show. The court fined her So.
Mrs. Clements and two little girls had
gone out to Wards creek to see about
the drowning. They were on the way
said to have called her names, and Miss
johnson made several passes at the
Clements woman with club.
The girls, however, told different
story Carrie Alexander who has the
reckless and Indifferent air of one who
doesn't care much for any body, testified.

With Something Nice TO say About the

With Something Nice TO say About the
Women as an Offset to the Suffrage
Plank in the POpuEIst Platform.
Barney Lantry of Strong City, the well
known millionaire Democrat and rail-
road politician, has written a letter to the
Democratic press of the state, in which
he outlines his idea of the right kind of
platform and campaign. Dir. Lantry
says in part:
''Let US get together tremendously.
knowing neither stalwarts nor fusionists,
letting everything go that is gone, put
ting now in the field our candidates
chosen from different parts of the state
and not all from any one or two points,
and showing proper respect to all Form
uIate platform free from isms, frank
and patriotic, short and sweet and to the
point. keeping in view at the same time
the mutual interests of the whole people.
Put in nomination men who are not con-
tlnually advertising themselves as poll
ticians. Our platform should have some
new planks in it. The first should be a
pronounced one protecting all home pro-
auctions against the consolidated COM
bines and monopolies, for instance, the
Kansas City stock yards and packing
house monOpolies and their duplicates.
You will bear in mind that if our pro-
ducers are protected our country will al
ways be prosperous. Another plank in
our platform should be a silver plank.
'Let US have all silver of our own pro-
ductiOn made into the dollars of our dad
dies with a strong duty on foreign silver.
Better bar foreign uncoined silver en-
tirely, protect home industries, protect
our own labor, live in ourselves more
than we do, nd we will soon be a happy,
prosperous people.
"Now about our Kansas Populists' fad,
woman suffrage. A plank entirely ignor-
ing suffrage for them. but hon oring them
for the good they were created for low
ing wives and mothers, balance wheels
of society. examples of morality and re-
ligion, loving companions of their hus-
bands and homes. and queens of their
households and all they survey.

them day by day while receiving pay for

stituents. Something should be done to
protect the taxpayer from these frauds"

JUDGE HUMPHREY WON'T.

He Declines to Be COnsfde red Candi-
date For A-sOcia Q Justice.
In letter to Topeka friend, Judge
James Humphrey, of junction City, de-
clines to be con Idered as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination of associate
justice of the supreme court
Judge Humphrey says under the con-
stitutiOn he is not eligible to election to
any state office while holding the office
of district judge, and asked that his name
be not any longer considered in connec-
ton with the nomination.
The hardest fight in the coming Dem
ocratic convention will be over the NOM
ination of associate justice. The fusion
Democrats will fight for the nomination
and endorsement of George w. Clark,
the Populist nominee, but as Clark
stands on the suffrage platform of the
Populists, it will be strange if he is en-
dOrsed.
1t is said that Judge ]. d. McCIeverty
of FIT Scott. wants the nomination, and if
he gets it he will try to get Clark to
withdraw in his favor, which Mr. Clark
is hardly likely to do.

fsOn, Makes Charges
T. J. Rigg, an Atchison Democrat, is
mad at Pension Agent Click, and his SON
in-law, Jim Orr.
BIr. Rigg was a candidate for the ap-
pointment of postmaster, but he did not
get it, although he is prominent in local
political circles, having served the coun-
ty as register of deeds and county treas
urer.
In a letter printed in the Atchison
Champion Mr.. Riggs says:
at is talked around that am sore on
account of not getting the postoffice
This is a base lie. When I came back
from Washington in January I told
everybody that I had no show and was
out of the fight. 1 made no complaint
