is reformed it should not be on the
lines advocated by and in the interest
of the national misunderstanding

Why should tue people be compelled
to pay interest on government credit,
when such credit could be extended d.
rect to the people without interest

The spirit of plutocracy is not con-
fined to those who have millions; it is
among those millions would possess

The MethOdists have twenty-seven
members in the Lower House Of the
Legislature and eleven in the Senate,
making thirty eight in all, while the
Presbyterians rank next with eighteen
members in both Houses.-Lacrosse

Why don't congress delegate to the
banks authority 'to com money and
regulate the value thereof" and thus
have done at once with the whole husl-
ness and effectually divorce the govern
ment from the money making business?
Kansas Commoner.

The Cyrus Corning crowd did not
meet with very warm reception at
the st. Louis conference of leading
pOpulists. The traitors received their
just deserts and should go to their
allies, the republicans for sympathy.
1t is safe to say that the republicans of
Kansas have no use for Corning Ben
nington, ct al, for a traitor is thorough
ly despised even by the party that uses
him as a tool.-Anthony Bulletin.

The watered stock of the Western
Union Telegraph company is annually
placing and per cent In the pockets
OF It's owners. This is a case where
nothing becomes something without
any apparent eXertion. When the
government takes the telegraphs, as 1t
should at the earliest opportunity, the
first thing necessary will be to squeeze
the water out the stock that has been
dropsed.-Non Con.

377, J. d. Rockafeller's S20,953, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt's 81 ,007, and Gould's

Teller, $3l7.06; Cornelius Vanderbilt,
S22l 80; w. X. Vanderbilt, S207.f4; and
each of the Gould's $22l.36. This in
come tax makes these sons of mammOn
pay small per cent of their wealth
toward the support Of the government.
This is the same tax that the republi'
can press denounced as unjust and
jnequitable. Democrat.

The bond issue was grand success.
1t gave the syndicate bankers safe in
vestment for their funds, and enables
them to snap their fingers at the talk
of hard times. 1t is such grand sue
cess that at the end Of ten years the
bankers will not only have back the
100 millions they loaned the treasury,
but the 80 millions in interest and more
than million In profits. Hurrah for
the bond Issue, Hurrah for the single
gold standard! And hurrah for every
scheme that the Wall street banks pro-
posel-Atlanta Constitution.

When you read your local paper it is
the account of the dog fight you saw,
the runaway on your street, the COM
ment on the speech you heard, the
critique of the play you witnessed, that
you read first, and you remember what
same reason, the women who spend
the afternoon III your store go home
and read your advertisement, and it is
all the more effective because they
happen to know something about the
articles you are advertising. "Why
yes, saw those this afternoon, and
come to think of it, believe they are
good things" That's their comment
and the next day they came down towr
again and leave their money with you

In event the judicial districts of the
state are reduced in number by thenev
legislature, what would be the matter
with attaching Comanche county t
Judge McKay's district, and forming
new district futher west for judy,
Pricep Judge Mckay could attend t,
the litigation in new district, com
posed of Harper, Barber and Conan
che, easily enough. and even then no
have his entire Hme occupied. A new
district for Judge Price, embracing fiy
or SIX counties west of here, woul
not have more court business than h
could properly handle and at the sam
time afford him suitable opportunitie
for vacation. The people of the dis
trict as they now stand would be sorr
TO see either Mckay or Price retire
permanently, and the legislature, whe
breaches this matter, will see tina
they are not, if 1t consults the wisbe
ofalarge majority Of their constituents
