Bishop Vincent made n startling
statement in a Topeka church Sunday.

"that at heart women are just as bad
as men. II you don't believe it ask
her II is true there are not 50
many women rs men in the peni-
tentiarics, but woman's position in
society has been such that she hasn't
had the same chances. Push woman
out into the world and then sec what
she will do. The women themselves
will not claim they are better than
men. ! have never yet heard Of a
woman praying, % Lord, am a
miserable sinner but not so bad Us
man is; need thy help, but not 50
badly as man does Most women are
better than some men, aud some
women are better than most men, but
In the very essence Of their nature
l doubt If there is any real difference
between the two sexes Some Of the
equal sulrragists in the congregation
were very angry and one or two left

The Fifth pistrict,s Disgrace.


When the best brains in all sections
of the country are ,bcing devoted to
the perfection Of government; when,
however unfruitful in results, the law
makers of the nation are mostly using
their best endeayors to guide the ma
tional affairs of this great country
along the safest roads, the Fifth Kan
sas district is brought to notice by a
lot Of idiotic jibberish, the rambling
carnations OF John Davis brain, that
Is enough to make every voter In the
district hang his head in shame. To
think that these ten counties Of CEN
trail Kansas, inhabited by l75. 900 pco-
pie, progressive, advanced and intel
ligent. should pay $1,000 year for n
representative in congress and select
for the place John Davis is ineXpli-
cable.
Davis introduced Il bill Friday-the
most stupcndously nonsensical pro-
duction that has yet been charged mp
TO the Fifth district. On II face 1t Is
to provide for the enlistment and
maintenance Of an industrial army,
aud for issuing and maintaining II
sufficient and equitable volume OF
currency. The effort leads of with
the regulation number Of excuses en-
braced In whcrcascs to the effect that
there Is manifold Generalization
among the people; that the problem
Of the unemployed is not new and its
Importance steadily increasing; that
the administration Of the government
has not kept pace with the develop
ment Of the country; that the situa-
ton appeals to the sympathy Of the
people; that the constitution will al
low the plan proposed TO be carried
out, and when il is enacted that the
secretary Of war Immediately enlist
800, 900 men in an industrial volunteer
army to serve for one year. This
army to be clothed, fed aud paid un-
der the same rules and regulations as
required Of recruits in the regular
army. Instead Of drills at arms, they
shall be employed on works Of public
improvement, such rs canals, rivers
and harbors, irrigation works, public
highways and such other labor as
congress may direct. OF course it is
necessary to provide funds for such n
scheme, and this feature is by no
means neglected. Three hundred
million cold legal tender plunks are
to be issued by the time first pay day
arrives.
II the Fifth district continues this
monstrous disgrace to itself in his
position another two years we shall
pretty nearly lose faith in the intelli-
gence of humanity.

George Martin FOR Governor.

As the time of holding the State
Republican convention draws near
and counties are expressing their
preference for one candidate or an
other the special fitness of the men
mentioned to lead the Republican
ticket are being closely examined.
There is one man among the four
to whom Dickinson county naturally
turns and that is George w. Martin,
for so many years our neighbor and
whose acquaintance extends over the
entire county. George Martin has
many qualifications for making good
governor, 1t is not necessary to
onumerate them here nor is it in any
way dcrogatory to the high standing
of his opponents to. say of him that he
is entirely worthy.
Geo. Martin is the Fifth districts
candidate. His work for Republican
ism in the district entities him to the
support OF Its delegates. He can be
elected. There is not one blemish on
his personal or political career. lie
will make governor for all the peo.
pie and one whose loyalty to Kansas
aud Kansas institutions will do credit
to this great commonwealth. The
Republicans Of Dickinson county are
by a large majority for Martin for the
nomination and it will do them no
harm to say so in convention.
