II has been known for some time
that Hon. n. S. Osborn, secretary Of
state, would positively decline re-
nomination. This leaves that posi-
tion open on the ticket for a sixth
district man. After looking over the
field for suitable man to take Sec
rotary Osborn's place in the state
house, Phillips county popullsts have
decided to present the name of Hon.
f. O. johnson, the present secretary
of the congressional committee. They
feel in doing 80 that they offer to the
convention man who Is thoroughly
qualified for the position.
Mr.. johnson is a thorough scholar,
a cultured gentleman aud an ernest
worker for the good Of the reform
movements. He is at present serving
his second term as clerk Of the dis
trict court Of Phillips county, a posi-
ton he has filled with signal ability,
aud to the complete satisfaction Of
all concerned. Mr.. johnson has sac
rifced much for the success of the
party, and his acquaintance over the
district will enable him to be of great
strength to the ticket. He has never
sought preferment and his name is
now urged by his friends and those
interested in the success of peoples
party principles. Believing that they
have in Mr.. johnson a man who will
add strength to the ticket, and man
who will faithfully and ably discharge
the duties of the Office of secretary of
the great state Of Kansas, Phillips
county populists arise to place his
name before the people.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says;
"The returns from the late elections,
is an indication that the next presi-
DENTAL election contest in the West
and South will be between republi-
cans and populists, instead of repub-
hcans and democrats" This opinion
IS based on the almost certain knowl-
edge that the free-colnage democrats
and republicans will join the popu-
list, while the administration demo
Gratis or stalwarts will go over to the
gold.standard republicans. The sill
YER people all over the West and
South have abandoned the idea OF
ever securing favorable legislation
through either Of the old parties,
while the goldbugs all recognize
there's no earthly show for the demo
cratic party in these sections, and
unite on the republican party with
the hope Of pulling it through by a
combined effort,

Populists Score a Bond Hit.

State Superintendent of Public In
structlon Gaines received a letter
from Fl. Fl, Cochran, county treasurer
Of Kearney county informing him
that the $4,000 bonds of that county
bought by the republican board of
state school fund commissioners have
been declared to be illegal by the
federal courts, but that the $13,5OO
bonds of the that county bought by
the populist board are of a different
series and interest is paid upon them
regularly.

colby Tribune.
You'D like for them to keep silent
wouldn't you9 But they will mention
that little matter of $l26,90O which
republican boards lost to the state
school fund.- They will also mention
that the $4,000 bonds which you
made such a big howl about
may yet turn out good and
be paid. No thanks to Crane
and his crowd though. They thought
they we're bad and sold them to the
school fund on purpose to create
campaign thunder. They will also
mention Billingslea occasionally, when
the little thick-and.thin republican
papers get too jublilant. But says
friend Tribune, don't you wish yOo
hadn't said anything about it?

The democrat would apply free
trade in order to cheaper products
and the republicans would apply pro-
lection to accomplish the same object
The populists would lessen the pur-
chasing power OF the dollar by IN
creasing the quantity Of money which
would double the price Of all pro-
ducts. Let men of brains and COM
mon honesty decide which Of the three
pprties has the logic Of sound reason
ing upon its side and then work and

The Dispatch embarks into the
"fgger" business again. This time
it attacks q statement made by the
Lebanon Journal that the average
cost to the state for every bank exam
med under republican administration
was 1922. SO, while under Commissioner
Breidenthal the cost had averaged but
1914 per bank examined. (The 1914
is, however, a mistake; the correct
figures are $274)
With its usual whoop-hurrah-e-
pluribus-unum style, the Dispatch
sails in, 'supposes" the statement to
be true and declares that it rebounds
to the honor and glory Of the republi-
can party! In the explanation of its
position that paper seems to think
the republicans collected S2296 from
from each bank in the state, while the
populists had collected but 1914.
from each one. Bgro the republicans
are the friends Of the tax payers (he
always says "tax-payers") and inveter-
ate enemy Of the bankersl AS if the
bankers were not taxpayers. To
-
make it plain he ''supposes" that if
there are 1000 banks in the state, the
dutiful republicans would collect up
$22,960 from the rich bankers and
turn 1t over to the state; while the
derelict pops. only turn in $50,
That's a sample of our contempor-
ary's style Of education. It's case
of the blind attempting to lead those
who can see. Every intelligent busl-
man and farmer in the county knows
more of banks and bank examiners
than that. He knows that the bank
examiners collect fee from every
bank examined and that this fee is
fixed by law He further knows that
with q fixed salary the more banks
the commissioners examine in year
the less will be the cost to the state for
each bank, and the more fees will be
collected. There are 951 banks in
this state. The commissioners salary
s $4,000 a year. If he examines every
bank (which Breidenthal had done)
the cost to the state per bank is 80 63.
This with the Incidental expenses
makes the $274, which is the cost to
the state for each bank examined I'M
der the populist administration. The
fewer the banks examined the greater
the expense per bank, and the fewer
fees turned over to the state. Com
missioner Breidenthal has fulfilled his
duty, examining every bank IN the
state properly and turning over the
fees. Educate the masses, Mr., Dis
patch, educate the masses

A State Department That is Sur
prising the People.

Superintendent Snider of the insur-
snce department, turned into the
state treasury Friday, $2,235. The
department has turned IN since July,
1898, $43, 31184. The indications are
that more will be received from that
source this fiscal year than ever be-
fore.
The insurance fund was originally
created to pay the expense of that de-
partment, but the receipts for one
year are now sufficient to pay the ex-
penses for ten years.
