IN two short weeks the voters OF
Barber county Will again exercise their
rights as American citizens in choos-
ing their public servants. Every man
in Barber county can not help but un-
derstand the situation today; be knows
what each party stands for. and by his
ballot he goes on record as for or against
the money power of England Then
he will choose between two elements
producers and taxpayers on the popu-
list ticket, and kid gloves, non-pro-
ducers and non taxpayers on the other.
BY electing the republican ticket, the
voters of Barber county will say that
the men who have suffered the hard
ships, priyations and suffering on our
undeveloped prairies in early days that
we might have peaca5le homes and be
admitted into social ranks as part Of
the civilized world, the men who have
improved the county as it is improved
to-day, shall have no right to hold po-
SltlOnS of public trust. But for the
class OF men who are represented on
the populist ticket, the republican dude
could not be here running for Office.
we are not opposed to their being here
but we are opposed to their manage
ment OF county affairs. The men who
are constantly adding to this world S
goods are the ones who have the best
right to public Office. It is an histor
ic tact that the republicans have scarce
ly ever nominated farmer for re-
muuerative Office but have invarlasiy
given it to the politician, man who
generally lives off of the misfortunes of
others. The voters will be called upon
to endorse or resent this practice at
the polls two weeks hence. In view
of the foregoing undisputed facts, as a
citizen of Barber county, YOU can't
afford to help to down the tolling mass
es of which the great majority of us
| are members.

HERE ARE The FIGURES

We have frequently made the asser-
ton that o. Mills as sheriff of Barber
county has cost the taxpayers far less
than his predecessor. We have obtain
ed schedules from the records OF the
county clerks office showing the re-
spective amounts drawn by Messrs.
DobsoD and Mills which we publish
below. 1t will be seen that Dobson
drew nearly twice as much as Mills
during his last term of Office and con-
sequently our statement that Mills has
saved the county large sums Of money
Is proved to be true. These figures are
exact from the records and can't be
disputed. If you believe that the saw
ing of one official of 50 .399 .98 is of any
benefit to the county you will do well
to re-elect Sheriff Mills.
Amount paid by Barber county to j.
w. Dobson, sheriff, as shown by
schedule below:

WE stated last week that the popu-
lists were not responsible for any ma
tionai legislation. When we mention
ed 1t, we overlooked the income tax
law This was purely a populist meas
ure and but for the small number of
populists in congress it would not have
been passed. That law was worth
millions of dollars to the masses but
one attack by the supreme court wiped
It out of existence. The peoples party
fayors an amendment to the constitu-
tion striking out the life tenure clause
in relation to the term of office of a
U. s. Judge And when you elect a
populist congressman or senator you
find that he redeems his pledges. In
support of this statement, we refer
you to the income tax law.

Tie Cresset has at last admitted that
competent men reside on farms. Tie
curious part about it, however, is that
as regularly as the populists put these
farmers or the ticket it bowls ''incom-
potency" throughout the entire cam
paiGn and after they are elected. The
farmers have learned that the Cresset
negleots no opportunity to ridcue
them and its occasional piece of taffy
will not win it any respect from the
farmers of this county.

JUDGE DAVID MARTIN is not exact
ly running alone" for chief Justice

And yet Martin is free silver, is to
man. He advocates something that
the Cresset brands as visionary and
impractical, something that will bring
ruination on the country, make a So
cent dollar. etc. Consistency!

in business capacity. What a con-

trep.) charged Supt. Stewart of the in
sane asylum with everything that was
vile and corrupt. In the State Journal
Mr.. Stewart successfully denies every
charge separately and his open and
manly way of dlsposing of the vicious
lies of the Mirror is worthy the admir-
alton of everybody. It is admitted
that Stewart has made an honest and
upright superintendent.

SOME men were born for great
things; some were born for small; some
Il see no reason why some men were
born at ALL" The foregoing are the
words of a popular writer. In expla-

cans in Barber county, and especially
Medicine Lodge township. were born
for the express purpose of being defeat
ed for Office.

a SHERIFF, as we'll as any other in
dividual, should be paid for his SER
vices, but not outrageously and exorbi-
faulty. We again challenge the Cres-

money drawn by Sheriff Mills and his
republican predecessor for substantial
ly the same amount of work.

No SENSIBLE man will condemn an
official as long as he collects Just such
fees as belong to him, but when he
quadruples the amount everyone has a
right to object. AT the same time if a
sheriff RENTS his mileage in collecting

entitled to credit. This is why we
commend Tonk Mills and condemn his
republican predecessor.
