Won'G nave 4 Position Under MOrrill.

A weak or two ago a committee
of Wichita business men called on
Governor Morrill, and Attorney Gen
eEal Dawes and asked that the present
Police Commissioner be removed and
Messrg. COrbett, Allen and Walker be
appointed in their stead. 1t was ru'
rAOted that this change might ocur I'm
mediately after election, but this was
nipped Ia the bud by the refusal of the
gentlemen named to accept. The fol
lowing from the Wichita Beacon shows
their feeling in the matter pretty
clearly:
"a Beacon reporter called at J. P.
Aliens store, but he was not in. Mr..
Walker was found In his Office over
the Sedgwick county bank and when
asked In regard to the report he said:
'If the others have anything to give
out for publication they can do so, but
have nothing to say only this, /
would not like to hold a position over
which Attorney General Dawes has
any Influence and ! guess he is part
Of Morrill's administration.
1.-THE answer he gave to the business
mems committee is to foul for publi-
cation and shows him to be low-down
bum who is not entitled to respect by
decent men.
''J. H. Black, chairman of the bust
ness mems committee, was called up by
telephone and in answer to the ques.
tion as to whether the men named for
commissioners by the business men had
notified Governor Morrill, that they
would not accept a position under him
replied: That is just what they did
and am glad of it. We are done

Shawnee County Farmers.

What in the name of common sense
ails the farmers of Shawnee county?
Will they never catch on? Foryears they
have been hewing stone and drawing wa
ter for the politicians, and have served
them we'll. When the politicians feel like
throwing them crumb they set apart an
Office and give it to afarmer who will serve
their purpose, always selecting men like
Stahl or Burdge, who will at least offer
no resistance to their schemes. In re-
turn for this they expect the farmers to
stand solidly for the support of every
scalawag and every proposition that the
managers see fit to indorse. 1t is only a
year since the bonded debt of the county
was heavily increased for the purpose Of
building a courthouse. The job was not
near done when another similar PROPOSE
tion was sprung, this time to build a
bridge By this time the farmers be-
came alarmed enough to protest against
another bond swindle, but majority Of
them seem to have stood right by the
politicians in voting for county officials.
They did not enter into the spirit of the
movement to break the office-holding
combination. No, but in the third dis
trict they elected man for county COM
missioner who is identified with the
crowd that put up the bridge bond job,
while most of the country precincts gave
majorties for Burdge, one OF the same
combination. Fortunately for them
their votes for sheriff we're wasted,
but unfortunately their votes on the
bond proposition we're on the minority
side too.
Who can explain why the "bone and
sinew" OF the county should continually
be helping that class of men who are
continually putting up jobs on it?

tendency of every department OF pres
ent day life is toward socialism. Not So
cialism in it's revolutionary aspects,
accompanied by red flags and dynamite,
but rather a gradual assumption of
governmental control Of the industrial
functions of country.
"The church" said Mr.. Belden, "must
take care of the temporal as we'll as the
eternal welfare Of its people. The church
is doomed unless it finds some means for
ministering to the poor and criminal
classes The minister of the gospel can
no longer dodge the issue. We have
been trying for 1900 years to lift men up
and our measure of success has not been
what it should. We should all be social
lists, for therein lies the remedy we must
apply.-KanSas city Star, Noeember 4.

being returned to the Office, and the
cash TO pay them was used by Mr.. Mile
ham. In this way it was possible for
him to be short without it being dis
covered. The inspectors are inclined
to blame the system more than the
man, as it offered a temptation which
would not otherwise have been offered.
Mr.. Milehsm used the money on race
horse which had been quite an expense
to him. He will probably not be prose
cuted and says he will stay right here
and live this trouble down. He is
80 years Of age and has lived in Topeka
all his life. His position will probably
be filled by a promotion.

MOdOc Club Anniversary.

The Modoc club is nineteen years old

brated by the members at their rooms

office ever since the organization of the

In the year 1894 the DeKalb Fence Com
pany, Of DeKalb, ILL.,, doubled their capacity
for producing their lines over 1898 which
gave them an output of twenty miles per
day. The demand for their goods has been
so great the past season that in order to
be able to supply their trade they have
been compelled this year to double the ca
pacity of 1894, which now gives them an
output Of forty miles per day. This in
itself speaks well for their product and
merits the attention and inspection Of our

A Weak Protest.

In the three dIstr cts which consti-
tuted the theatre of military operations
last year--east Frostburg, Vale Sum
nit and Eckhart, about 30 republicans
voted against Mr.. Lowudes.
And 81 against Mr. Sloan.
The analysis further shows that only
IA men who held Mr.. Sloan account
able on obvious grounds acquitted Mr..
Lowndes OF Il shadowy indictment
based on supposed sympathy with the
military movement. This is not a bad
showing after all we have read and
heard of the enormity of calling OUT
the military to prevent violence.
Indeed, it is happily instructive rs
showing that in about one-tenth Of the
county-and that the arena of contact.
only 81 men, at most, condemned q

30 per cent. of the county approved.

infiammable correspondents and news
papers who now and then take fire
from exaggerations which the walking
delegate imposes upon master work
men, scrlbes and greenhorns.

When the time came for the consideration of
the appointment of labor statistician. The
letter was referred to the legislative COM

When that time comes the governor
will doubtless remember that the
office OF collecting and compiling labor
figures is one that should not be con-
tided TO one of class jaundiccd by
crude and grotcsque notions of its
rights. Under such auspices fancies,
clothed in the galb of facts officially
told, may do incalculable harm even
to the very Interest thought to be
served.
1t is to be doubted, therefore,
whether the governor can do better
than re-appoint A. b. Howard, the in
cumbcut, whose administration has
been economical, palnstakihg and pref
judicial to neither capital nor labor.
At any rate, Mr.. Howard is exactly
the type of man needed in the office,

be sought. This is one of the posi-

"belched," indicates an operation of
