the girl. His record was 20 feet, inch.

Debs' Idea Of New Woman.
BY DOROTHY DOLITTLE.

In recent press article, f. V. Debs said :
"The new woman, | am persuaded, will take
her place side by side with man in the great
struggle for social, economic and intellectual
emancipation. She will no longer be disfran-
chised by her Sex She will have an equal
start and will invade every domain in which
brains and pluck and energy compete for the
worlds prizes She will scorn to be the petted
plaything of society. She will be 10 more
masculine or less modest than now. She
will more than ever grace and beautfy the
home by the witchely and magic of womans
love. She will 60 out by herself when she
chooses to do So and her release from the guard
ianship we now force upon her will be all the
protection she will require. She will marry, not
to escape the vulgar gossip of soulless So
ciety, but to please herself and love born of
moral and intellectual equality will be the only
considerations She will command the homage
of man, and hand in hand they will travel
life's journey together
s'My mother is advanced in years, but l am
proud to believe her to be the best type of the
new woman In our family there is no SUI
periorty of SEX There is no authority, and
none is needed. 1t should be understood that
women are the equals and not the wards OF
men, and in their own affairs they have the
right to suit themselves For myself, con-
fess to liking for boomers. They seem cool
and comfortable, and there is something about
the air of the girl who wears them that reminds
me of the Declaration of Independence. They
are immodest only to the immodest."

LOOTING THE SANTA FE.

The veteran editor, Sol Miller, in his paper,
the Kansas Chief, gives expression to just
indignation against common form of robbery
under judicial sanction in which he says:
"The papers are decidedly outspoken relative
to the manner in which the proceeds of the
Santa Fe road were confscated by the lawyers.
Whoever the money belonged towas simply rob-
bed for the benefit of few lawyers, by permis-
sion of United States judge who was lately
being doomed for president because of his hon
esty and fairness. George R. Peck got $50, 900;
J. B. Johnson, who believes that enough is
enough got $33, 700, with continued hold, by
which he will get more. A firm of three law
yers got $4,000 apiece. Another firm of law
yers got as much. Altogether the rake-off
amounts to about $4,000. This money be-
longs to somebody, who was looted out of it.
A howl is everlastingly going up about exorbi-
tant railroad charges. How can railroads keep
up without exorbitant charges, when they are
permitted by the courts to be robbed in this
way The people must pay for it, after all.
1t appears to have become the practice of
courts to permit lawyers to rob their clients
under the guise of fees. Is it any wonder that
courts are falling into disrepute?

WHO IS KING?

America has had "King George" and
'King Cotton" both or whom were endorsed
and tumbled into an infamous oblivion; but, no
sooner is one king endorsed than new arises.
To-day we have King Gold, backed by the
worlds ablest bankers, and Americas licksplt-
tie politicians. The king of to-day is, by far
the most powerful in influence of any that has
arisen, and by far the most potent for mischief.
We do not underestimate the antagonist OF
free people when we say that the gold power is
capable of arresting the wheels of progress
and turning back our civilization; is capable OF
destroying freedom and establishing a sordid
despotism. But no king-not even the King
of Darkness-can, for long period, rule
America. Americas liberty was born in revo-
luton, baptized in blood and fertilized with the
sacrifice of her bravest citizens. The child of
such royal parentage cannot be enslaved. The
spirit of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and
Grant will go marching on till the end of time.
On to higher freedom and greater excellence
be our motto, and no king but Heavens King

Cure for 1nebriety.

Let any victim of the liquor habit eat toma-
toes, sprinkled with SALT consuming as much
each day as possible. Let the eating of toma-
toes and salt to excess be continued for several
DAYS, and the tomato-eater will lind liquor
offensive, undrinkable, ungrateful to the
stomach, so much so that it will be thrown up.
This is the cheapest cure yet heard OF and Is
said to be effective. This from an exchange
recalls to mind the opinion of an eminent physi-
clan that the desire for liquor is, comparatively
speaking, unknown to those who live largely
on sub-acid fruit, and that one of the mildest
and speediest cures for the liquor appetite is all
habitual fruit diet.-EXchange

SERVE US ALL ALIKE.

Proceedings have been commenced in the
superior court by Attorney General Dawes, to
GUST Rufus Cone from his office as sheriff Of

gave money, whskey, wine and beer to men, to
influence them to vote for him the last election.
-Caney Times.
If Attorney General Dawes would come to
Chatauqua county and commence his custer
proceedings on the same grounds, there would
be good many new county officers to elect if
Justice was done. 1t is 4o-rod whisky, instead of
wine, that Republicans of this county use, and
promises of immunity to jontists and their
business if they will vote their ticket.-Sedan

ONE cannot help regretting that the new
senator from South Carolina, the successor of
gentlemen of character and ability, should thus
throw away his opportunity, and all probability
of influence and standing in Washington and
before the country, as he has done by this
speech, He cannot hereafter expect to be
taken seriously in anything he may say, or be
counted above the level of a slang whanging
bufoon and demagogue. Such speech may
anuse the senate and country, but more of the

we want to serve notice on this whole gang of
commercial politicians that if they want this
business administration shown up in its true
colors, all they will have to do is to keep up
this personal racket little while longer We
are abundantly equipped for the job, and no

Let Women Vote.

owe can't have government OF the people,

best half of the population is denied the right
to VOTE Whether or not woman wants to
vote is for her to decide. Deprivation 'ot sui
frage places Frances Willard upon the same
plane with our idiots, criminals, paupers and
Indians. Many of the evils of the day will
never be eradicated until woman is given the
ballot. As general proposition woman has
more honor and integrity than man. You

THE flaming Sword, of Chicago, announces
that no one who uses whisky, beer or tobacco
need apply for membership in the new Korsh-
an Colony at Estero, Florida. 1t says: "We
desire to collect people, but not badly enough
to collect rum and tobacco fends" Their pur-
pose is to build up city on the basis of COM
munism and peration. Seems to me that
would be a nice place to live. The women
could walk OIL the streets without getting their
skirts all bedrabbled with tobacco-juice, and
needn't wear bloomers, either-unless they
