COME HOME, CHESTER!

On last Friday Congressman Long,
for the first time, put himself on rec
ord on the silver issue. The senate
free coinage amendment came before
the house and a vote could not be dodg-
ed. OF the Kansas delegation, only
three-Baker, Broderick and Curtis
voted in favor of concurrence. LONG
WAS PRESENT AND PUT HIMSELF ON
RECORD AS VOTING NAY" During
the campaign in 1894, Mr.. Long would
come out for free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, In
some localities, and in others he would
dodge the issue. Now, however, he is
committed and whoever says that Ches-
ter is free silver man knows not
whereof he speaks or, in the language
of certain senatorial aspIrant, is a
"wilfuI baldheaded liar" You fellows
vino voted for and helped to elect Long
ought to point with pride" to this
vote. The popuIists told you that he
is a gold bug but you would
not hear. 1t is to be deplored that
other states and districts send men to
congress who, Judas like, betray their
constituency, but when Kansas (Medi-
cine Lodge especially furnishes such
an one, as humble citizens of the COM
munity, we bow our heads in shame
The Seventh district has made a mis-.
take by sending one whose sympathy
is with the money lords instead of with
tue common people and the first shock
has just been received. 1t would be
far better were the district without any
representation than as it is-to be mis-
represented. Come home, Chester
come home, the burden is already more
than your unfortunate constituents cal
bear.

IN the January and February num-
bers of the Arena. John Clark Ridpath
has an interesting article on the SUBJ
ject of THE Bond and the Dollar y
which we wish every American citizen
could read. 1t gives the full history of
the bond deals, their origin, the effect
the bonded Indebtedness has on the
country and the people, and the design
of the bond sharks for tho future. If
the founders OF the plot will be able to
succeed in permanently fastening an
interest bearing debt upon this country,
their mission will have been accom-
plished and the injustice that was once
sought to be Inflicted upon the Ameri-
can people by force of arms, Will have
then been put into effect quietly and
peacefully without the knowledge of
the American people. If 1.-The Bond
and the Dollar" could be put into ey-
cry home and there diligently read, the
American people would rise in their
might and say, mo more bonds now

SOME of of our Populist contemporar-
les in the state are devoting a great
deal of time and space to setting up
imaginary state tickets, or naming
candidates for this and that office. In
doing this they are not trespassing on
other peoples rights. nor assuming a
prerogatlye they do not possess. But
they are using space that might be de-
voted to giving their readers the local
news, and to explaining the principles
of the Peoples party. There are some
thousands of voters IN Kansas who
don't know what the Peoples party is
for-heaven forgive their ignorance
and many thousands more who can't
see how it can accomplish what it
promises. These people must become
interested in the new party itself be-
fore they can be interested in it's pros
pective candidates. Get them started
by giving them a good county newspa-
per. and leave the guessing on candi-
dates till little later in the season.
