HERE'S A CLUE
That Will Show You How the Demo-
Gratis Have Carried Debts Over.
A Few Unpaid Snow Bills Which Have
Come to the Journals Attention.

The last roll of accounts passed Thursday
evening by the Democratic city government
but which the Democrats do not reckon II
with their expenditures for the year, and
witch is no. consi Tered in Treasurer Full
| lers statement nor taken into consideration
| oy the New Age, either ia making its estl
mates for the year or in manufacturing tax
/ rates for years to come, amounts to nearly
$500.
! This is only moiefy of the amour: OF
dedch to be btqueaihed by the Democrats.
This roll of accounts includes snow bills
amounting in round numbers to $4,000, and
tie JounSA AL ventures its prediction that
these do not represent half of those bills.
many of which have been held over pur-
posely, and some of which, 80 far as we can
learn, that are outstanding because the
holders of the bills c0uia not get MeH
money, although they wanted it.
We will make no mention of the $500
i1teres st cue en- the lean Of S31 900, and
which, altI ough due March LIST, has not
teen paid We will make no mention here
of the oyerdrawn accounts which the last
report of the auditor shows. We will SIM
ply take up in this connection few of the
many items Of snow bills outstanding, CON-
ment little on them, and leave the other
and multitude of fag ends Of loose and
incompetent administration for further con-
sideration. -
Joseph A. Ellis has received no pay for
breaking out streets during the months of
January and February. His bills rere REM
tired monthy. About Feb. 10 he received
pay for work 10 December. The Demo-
cratic city administration owes Mr.. Ellis
for work done in January AMI February
about $40. The same condition of affairs
in regard to the other men engaged in the
work of breaking roads in the western dis
trict.
A representative Of the Journal in the
past few days has made inquiry in some of
the outlying districts and finds that nearly
all the ills for work upon the highways
this winter have not been pail. There was
not opportunity TO gather information
concerning the small bills which wi
agg 1a'e large sums this winter.
On the East side all the bills on the Ban
gor road for the winter are unpaid.
The remaining bills on the North Belfast
road excluding the smaller ones will exceed
$500. All the bills on Church Hill road
are unpaid and amount to nearly $500. We
have the list of all the bills on this road
which exceed So.
There is $50 due on little road in Ward
4. The South Belfast road bills for the
winter are all unpaid. They make big
sum.
On one section of the Belgrade road there
is 1926 due. On the Newman road there
is 500 unpaid.
There is about $500 due on the West
River road.
And so the story goes. What do you
think of that fal:ehood that tie Democrats
will lower the tax rate next year:

denim any man with the respectable

A Pertinent Inquiry by Many

If indeed the Hon. Abram Frakes, is
such splendid specimen of Jeffer-
sonian Democrat as is vouched for by
his subsidized praise organ across the

manages and controls, led by his pencil
fuglers, at Hays City, made the efforts
of their lives to defeat the only Jeffer-
sonian Democrat, candidate for repre-
sentative, in this land district?

The Old Yellow Pumpkin

How dear to our hearts is the old
yellow pumpkin, when the orchards are
barren of stufhng for pies; when peaches
and apples have all been a failure, and
berries of no kind have greeted our eyes.
How fondly we turn to the fruit of the
cornfeld, that our children are taught
to dispise; the old yellow pumpkin, the
Undiscovered pumpkin, the big-bellied
pumpkin that makes the good pies. Oh,
golden-hued pumpkin, you surely are
Fin it, !" you jolly dip rascal, SO recently
spurned; we beg your forgiveness for
thus having wronged you, when from
your dear presence we scornfully turned.
Come rolling down hill till we meet you
and greet you, your bulk is a feast to
our fruit-loving eyes, we love you old
pumpkin, so well we could eat you, for
you are dandy when made into pies.

Came the Peoples party yawper,

And he worried the incorpor-

AS these frauds began to thicken,
Joints and gamblers found rich picken'
While the people horror stricken
Rallied at fate.

And trifle do not wonder
More expert than Ananias;
How with jeers they used to scott us,
How with skill they packer the caucus
They could flank, out-lie, out-talk us,
But reform-it ne'er came nigh US
Well, no longer from our rostrums
Will they peddle worn-out nostrums;
For the states declined to fostem 'em
At the polls.
For this gang with shaky morals,
With its scandals and its quarrels,
Spends its time, beshorn of laurels,
In hunting holes.

There is no state where the crops
are certain, while in the past five years
the crops of Kansas have been more un-
certain than usual, it is contrary to all
theories. From 1875 to 1887 central
Kansas did not have complete crop
failure, and while some years the crops
were lighter than another, the average
was fair. And it is safe to predict that
with the additional blowing and plant
ing of trees, that we will have another
year of good crops, even better than we
have ever experienced in the past
