The current number of the EldoradO

of Biddle and BOtkin, publisher, J.
d. Botkin, editor, and W. H. Biddle.

andG pioneer Peoples Party man. He
has perhaps done more for the cause
in that county than almost anybody
else, and has been a prominent factor
in the movement in the State. He
now returns to his old nome after an
honorable service to the State in the
capacity of State Treasurer, and will
still do active service in the cause of
reform. As for Brother Botkin our
readers are thoroughly familiar.
There is probably no man who has a
warmer place in the hearts of our
people than he. Heis pure gold, every
inch of him. His big heart yearns for
the welfare of his fellOwman. He
held the doctrine of the Peoples party
before the party was born. The spirit
of his Master of truth and Justice,
were 50 strong in his makeup that he
could not smother his deep desire for
the fultillment of the Lords PRAYER.

No More Passes.

The Kansas railroad lines are very
close in the matter of issuing passes
this year. 1t had been expected that
the wholesale issue of passes would be
discontinued to some extent, but the
extensive tightening of the privileges
has OccaSiOned great amount of
surprise.
Chairman Midgely has issued cir
cular concerning passes in which all
benevolent workers are barred from
the use of the coveted pastebOards.
The circular says in part:
ut isnot apparent why the agents
of charitable institutions, secretaries
or managers of Young Mems Chris
tan associations, superintendent of
missions or church extension, officers
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
agents of Sunday school unions. child
ren'S aid societies, other benevolent
associations, presidents or principals
of colleges, ETC., should be more
generously treated. The interstate
commerce law provides that reduced
rates may be given to ministers and
those entitled to such charitable con-
SideratiOn, but it does not contem-
plate that men shall be carried free
because they are professedly laboring
to promote the welfare of their fel.
low beings" The agreement of the
railways in the Trunk line association
prevents the giving of half fare per-
mits to clergymen. Western lines
will probably adopt the same rule
next year.

east take a great tumble. Sumner
county has been settled over twenty
years and the experiences of that
length of time ought to be sufficient
evidence from which can be predicted
with reasonable certainty what the
next twenty years will be. We can
see no reason why the next twenty
years should be less favorable to the
farmer, but there are good reasons
why they should be more favorable.
Irrigation and the growth of alfalfa
and timber cannot be otherwise than
favorable to an increased rainfall.
This is all this country needs, and
only little more rain than we have
had in the past will be sufficient

A Venerable Relic,

The Star boasts of having press in
its office that has a history. 1t is
many years older than its proprietor.
and if we could get its full history il
would be gem for the State Histori-
cal Society to add to the relics of past
history. The press is said to have
been thrown into the Arkansas river
by the soldiers during the civil war of
10. 1t was the first press in sumner
county and was used in the publica.
ton ofthe Oxford Register. Itwas the
first press in Harper county, and was
used when the Harper Times was
founded by ]. O. Graham. It was al.
so the first press in COmanche county
and has been in constant use in this
Office for over ten years, and does good
work. 1t is unlike any hand press
manufactured within the past thirty
or forty years, and no printer in this

On assuming the duties of editor of

The Advocate will continue to labor
for EldOrado and Butler county, and
for those principles of reform tnat are
essential to the welfare of this state
and nation. 1t proposes not to quib
bic over minor matters upon which
refOrmers may properly differ, but will
address itself to the great questions
that demand settlement. 1t believes
this government should be made ia
fact what it now is in theory, viz: "A
