Lutte Axllne attended q republican
editorial association last week the re-
suit of which was that the wheels in
his head became dislocated. In his pa
per last week they make him say all
| sorts of funny things, consisting of ri
diculous lies. fallacies. burlesques, etc.
We reproduce some Of them below to-
gether with correction, numbering
them. beginning with No. 1:
L. with good, prosperous, republi-
can times Medicine Lodge could proba-
bly, afford electric lights"
False, because Medicine Lodge has
never had anything else but "good,
prosperous republican times,'' and we
are still enjoying the luxury. So great
is the republican prosperity that our
city dads have resorted to that awful
practice, RepudIationl The mayor IS
a republican and is the man who ad-
Yised the council to take this course.
2. I'VE have not heard of anyone
actually burning corn for fuel this WIN
ter"
Which shows that the Cresset is un-
informed on home industry
3. when the populists blossomed in
Kansas, five years ago, the property
valuation of Medicine Lodge was at
least double what it is today"
When the redeemers "blossomed"
part OF them going to seed) the shrink
age became worse than eyer. What
few laws the populists did succeed in
enacting, the &. o. p. courts nulified
Fbe republicans are responsible for the
shrinkage of values.
A. "A man, in order to read his farm
mortgage by the light of corn fire
must first have the mortgage"
True, for once; and most of them re
member having them.
5. ''In order to have the mortgage
In his possession he must first paw il
off,
How ignorant! A man, even under
good, prosperous, republican times"has
the privilege of reading his mortgage
before he executes it. We know how it
is done;so likewise do most of the farm
ers of Barber county. Most of US have
"bin thar" and fallacious expIana-
ton by a sophisticated republican ed
itor is quite unnecessary.
6. Several weeks ago a prisoner
escaped from the Barber county JAIL"
That's true.
Z. ''At the time it was charged that
republican connived at the escape"
That's true.
8. Same party asserted that the
name of the guilty party could be giy-
en-
Which is plain blunt lie.
