If the people for the people come
together this fall and do what they
should do, you will see those old
Stiff-necked chaps disappear like
water out of leaky barrel.
There are four things every man
thinks he can do better than the one
who is doing it. These are, editing a
newspaper, pOking a fire, telling a
story or managing a festive wife.
The two old parties, like other
precious gems, are liable to decay.
They are attacked by disease and are
slowly wasting away. But a short
time and they will be entirely gone.
Not only is the nation spending
more than its income, but we. as in.
dividuals, are aggravating the situa-
ton by buying things abroad that we
should produce at home.
Some of the farmers say they will
n It SOW any more wheat untiit rains.
1t is coming up very uneven. Too
dry for it.
Experience is a jewel and it hath
need TO be so. The taxpayers have
purchased it at an infinite rate. They
have learned something.
Now look at the common business
sense. Turn this tide of wealth into
the pockets Of our Iwn farmers and
by making them prosperous, make
everybody dependent upon them pros.
porous also.
If some of those gOod-lOOking, tight
flied. hard money eastern men would
come to Kansas and hold down a 100
acre farm through one season, they
would not be so pretty perhaps, but
they would know heap more.
Tue Republicans have put in NOM
inatiOn ticket for Seventy-Six town
ship as follows: Trustee, John Dol
son: treasurer, o. Barium; clerk,
Manley Metcalf. They are good men,
good citizens and good neighbOrs, but
boys, you are on the wrong side.
Has anyone seen our dog? He fol-
lowed a Republican to Wellington
the day they stirred up the polecat
while they were trying to pass few
resolutions. The man and dog van
iShed out of sight and have not been
seen or heard from since. Poor dog!
He was in bad company.
Miss Martha Buzzard from the
northern part of the state, has been
her sister, Mrs. Emmons, wife
of the Rock Island agent at river
dale. She will leave for home Tues
day. She has made some warm
friends among the young people the
short time she has been here.
The man who weais a straw hat
with a pitchfOrk, saw, hammer or
trOwel in his hand has as much right
in this free country as the man with
a silk hat and a gOld-headed cane.
LabOrerS, did you ever think of that?
Now is the time to hold up your head
and come to the front with the ballot
that will put you on an equality with
the man that wears silk hat.
We would like every taxpayer in
Sumner county to read last weeks
issue of the VOICE. Look at it care
fully and see the expense that has
been incurred in the last two years.
Compare them to the years previous
and draw your own conclusions. IL
does not make any difference whether
you are a Republican, Democrat or
Populist, you are interested in dol
lars and cents. Now look this mat
ter over and see which one is entitled
to your vote on November 5th.
If the Republicans are such friends
to the poor why don't they take care
of the trampS, as they are styled.
We have fed nearly 40 within a year
and we have made it a point to find
out which party they had voted with.
TwO-thirds of them have been voting
the Republican ticket for years and
now they are put adrift on the char
ity of the people. Oh, you good Re-
publican>! We know your tricks. We
have been there for thirty years.
You can't catch US with chat again.
KANSAS FARMER.
