BARRY, Mimi, Feb. Z.
Mr.. Editor: For the enclosed please for
ward trial copies of the paper. Let each
and every reader of the Representa-
tive do their utmost to swell the sub
scriptions to 100000 copies in the next two
years. do your duty, no matter what the
world may say" and it is the duty of every
reform man and woman in the land to do
their utmost to spread the gospel of new
civilization through the reform papers. 1t
can't be done sitting around and sucking an
old pipe and waiting for some one else to
turn something up But it can be done by
a little self reliance and push. Now, broth
ers in a righteous cause, let's be uD and
doing. Get out into the highways and by
ways and rustic for God and humanity
while you are yet vested with that right.
For inasmuch you have done it unto
one of the least of these, my brethren, you
have done it unto me-"
Throw off that old party prejudice and
turn deaf ear to all their promises, for
They will falsely tell you that the panic,
That made the nation groan,
That robbed men of their millions,
And ruined many home,
brought about by the coinage of sill

An Old Friend Goes for the Pioneer
Press and It's Kind.


Editor Representative: In two recent
issues of the Pioneer Press I have seen the
statement made editorially that the diff
ficulty now in financial matters is there is
too much money.
I would suggest that some one takes that
"brainy'' editor to the river or some lake,
cut a hole in the ice, take him by the nap
of the neck and gently "souse" him in,
when he shivers with cold tell him he is
entirely too warm and "souse' him again
and should he strange, it is because he
got too much air, and possibly when they
get him too near the condition Of the fell
lows horse when he was trying to train
him to live without eating, this brainy
editor will conclude he is mistaken in his
diagnosis.
I am led to believe that those brainy edi-
tors who get off this idiotio gush about too
much money" and "too much wheat" that
they are troubled with too much brain, but
it Is located in the wrong place to do any
good, like the too much money and "too
much wheat More people are at this time
suffering for bread and more business de-
pressed for want Of money than ever known
before in the history of this country.

nesota and engaged as a clerk in the pro-
bate office at Buffalo, Wright county, M.nn..
where he was admitted to the bar the

ticed his profession until 1887. when he re-

justice at Delano and Red Lake Falls for
four years and the Office of village attorney
three years at Red Lake Falls. He was for
merly a Republican and was secretary Of
the Polk county committee, which position
he resigned, when the farmers declared for
Independent political action to cast his for

Farmers Alliance nomination for the Of
part in the campaign, acting as secretary

publisher of the Tribune, the leading Popu- ,
list paper of the Red River valley and is
prominently mentioned as one of the Peo-
pies party candidates for congress in the
Seventh congressional district.
Since the beginning of the reform move
ment he has taken active interest in pol
tiles and the large vote for the Alliance
and Populist ticket in Polk county is due in
small degree to his active and effective
work.

COUNTY ComMrssroNERs MEErrNa.

The County Commissioners met i'm
regular session at the Court House on
Monday, Oct. 1, and transacted the
following business:
The petition for a new road, petit
toned for by d. F. Dawes and IL 9TH
ers, was not allowed. The road petit
toned for by Geo. L. Robins was al
lowed. The Board went to Wise on

satisfactory. They ordered 500 paid
to Huffman, Fussman and Fisher as
part payment for the work on the
bridge, Messrs. Huffman and Hinze
have taken the contract to fill the APP

The Commissioners met with the

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

At the September meeting of the
Allen County Teachers Association
held in Humboldt, it was decided to
take steps toward having University
Extension lectures before the Associa-
ton during the coming winter.
A COMMITTEES WAS appointed to Sc
cure pledges of financial assistance to-
ward the work AT the Geneva
meeting last Saturday the committee
were able to report $50 pledged. AS
the Association bad decided to inau-
gurate the work on condition that
$I20 be pledged, it was decided to
adjourn the meeting to the High
School r,nm in lola, on saturday
OF. 20. Upon this date it is hoped
that the remaining S34 will bo pledg-
ed and that the association may be
able to have its first lecture at its No
vemher meeting.
The work will consist of a course Of
six lectures with attendant confer
ences, readings. and examination.
The lectures will be delivered upon
Saturday afternoon at the monthly
meeting of the Association. AT the
Geneva gathering the teachers present
were almost unanimously i'm favor of
having all the lectures delivered i'm
lola, instead of delivering part of
them at each of the cities, Humboldt,
Moran and lola. 1t is desirable that
"a very large number of our teachers
be at the adjourned meeting in lola
on Saturday, October 20.
Allen county has i'm past years been
one of the foremost counties i'm the
State Internationally, aud it will not be
i'm accordance with her record, if her
teachers let other counties lead in this
new enterprise. w. ). PICKEN.

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCH OF SOME OF THE
MEN WE ALL KNOW.

Harvey Halmen Jones was born in
Woodford county, ILL.,, April %, 1865.
Fourteen years later he came with
his parents to Kansas, locating in
Usage township. this county. on a
farm which has since been the family
home. During all these early years
there were no special educational adj
vantages, nothing but the usual work
in summer and the short term of dis
trict school i'm the winter. But the
youth was stud,ous and quick to learn
and ambitious, and so as soon as he
became man and could earn money
enough he passed from the district
schools to Baker University and after
wards to the State Normal where,
in addition to the regular course, he
took special work in the training
school, and was employed as tutor in
special studies.

Some days since, the writer Of this

To the Editor: Can you explain tn the many
who buy the Kansas City Times where To hnd

several years, has been denounced by you a.
the eliminating climax of atrocity" has now

there is no perceptible lowering Of price in any

while sugar. which all people have IN use. 10
dcarer The writer has male numerous and
repeated inquiries OF large number of csun-
try merchants as to the effect OF tariff reform on
prices OF every day consumption. AMI Without .
single exception the answer has been that there
is no difference in ANYTHING except sugar. and
that Is dearer. Surely the hoOd of fofeiG.
cheapne.s has had time to get into the Ameri.
can markets by this time, even Into Kansas
Is not tht difference between American go~fs
and. the cheaper goods Of foreign lands poe Eet ted
by importers and big jobbers? In what rsalis-
tic way are the common people benefited By
your much talked of tariff reform when IL does
not cheaper things To them? An explanation
is in order. CHAs. 6. NoBlRG.
In answer to my letter, the Editor
wrote me q letter, enclosing a clipping
from some newspaper I'm which .
Kansas City firm is quoted as assert
ing that the price of sugar has not adj
vanced. / enclose you the clippings
to show you how these quotations are
evaded. Does not every man, woman
and child i'm the country know that
the retail price of sugar is 80 to 40
pr cent higher under the ''pertidy
and dishOnOr" bill than it was under
the Mckinley bill. while the cost OF
all other necessities remains the same.

X. c.. Times (Dem): The cam

point where there is no longer n doubt
of the overwhelming defeat of the
POpulist party. On the evidence OF
some of its own leading men it has
been proved that the candidates of
that party are unfit for the offices
they have disgraced. The corrupt
use of power is rs reprehensible as
the corrupt use of money, and Judge
A lien of the Supreme court of Kansas,
himself a Populist official of high
rank, has testified to the fact that the
cities of the first class in that State
have been misgOverned in the inter-
est of the gamblers and rum-sellers,
with the knOwle dye and consent of
the Populist candidate for Governor.
These facts make the reelection of H..

Returning to Allen county, he re-
sumed the old routine of farm work
I'm summer and school in winter, ex-
cept that now he was teacher instead
of scholar. After three years of this
work he was elected as Republican
to the Office of County Superintendent
taking charge of the Office in January
1898. 1T was the embarrassing fortune
of MIR. Jones to follow the hardest
working and probably the most
popular uperintendent Allen county
ever had, and no better compliment
could be paid him therefore, than to
say that he has been a worthy sue
cessor to Ed Il. Barber. During the
twenty months he has held the Office
he has visited every school in the
county twice and some of them three
times. He has been especially active
in working up interest in the Teach
ers' ssociatiOns, rightly believing
that nothing contributed SO much to
the success of the schools as a corps of
enthusiastic, wide awake and pro-
gressive teachers. The result of his
activity i'm this direction has been an
increase i'm the average attendance
upon the Association meetings of from
G or s to 60. Another result was
shown also when the Normal Institute
/ -; nj
tendance than ever before.
One of the best things that Mr.. Jones
has done was To compel the SchO0lBO
Company which supplies books for
| the county to furnish free desk copies
for every school in the county, accord
ing to contract. The amount involv-
ed was about $4,000 and it was only
By threatening to bring suit Oh their
bond that Mr.. Jones persuaded the
Company to "come down"
One OF the best evidences that Mr..
Jones' work was satisfactory during
his first term, is the fact that lie was
made the candidate Of his party for
SECOND term without opposition. His
reelection seems assured beyond a
reasonable doubt, for the voters of
a lien Co. never fail TO set their seal of
approval upon hard, honest, pains
taking and intelligent work.
Personally MIR. jones is a
'.good figure of "a man., as
the picture which accompanies this
sketch well shows. He is quiet and
reserved, and makes SO little noise a.
bout the work he does that he is in
danger of not getting the credit he de-
serves. But follow him around all
day and it will he found that he is do
ing something all The time and doing
it with absolute fidelity and honesty
of purpose. He is a member of the
Nj. f. church and an active and eff
cient worker i'm both church and Sun
day School. He was happily married
ia 1890, to Miss Sophia McGurk, and
has one child.

part, of the history of the State. The
State knows him. 1t knows how far

i've and faithful has been his public
service in war aud in peace, how
steadily he has stood for the
