To the ARDMoREITE:
To arrive at a proper solution
of any political question, it is
necessary to survey the political
field calmly and dispassionately, |
to lay aside all passion and
prejudice and discuss the facts
Just like a horseman observes
the good points in a horse.
The silver question is not a
new question. 1t is an old Is
sue and has been settled in
other countries, some for and
some against its free and un-
limited coinage. Its ratio with
gold has ranged all the way
from II to ! in the reign by
Queen Elizabeth of England to
80 to at the present time.
England tried for a long time
to arrive at a correct ratio, but
failed. One or the other was
moderated, the consequence
being that the under-rated metal
disappeared from circulation.
Besides silver was constantly
changing in value. 1t tiuctuated
so that the financial world was
| in a constant state of disturb
ance. The evil became so great
| in England that Parliament
passed law in IVA limiting its
legal tender quality to f25 and
} in 1898 stopped its coinage alto
} gether.
In 1916 England adopted the
gold standard. Since whicl
time the value of gold has moi
fiuctuated.
In 1874 when the bank ac
: was passed III England, on,

HENRY GEORGE, BRYANITE.
Doesn't Bell eve in Free Silver but
Supports the Westerner.

New York, Aug. 4.-Henry gorge, in
a letter to J. A MaeKnight. president
of the Young Mems Silver club of New
York, announces his intention of vot-
ing for Bryan and Sewan. He says:
Regarding money merely as a coun-
ter, and believing that the best and
most economical money is of the green
back type-the direct issue of the cred
1t money. of the national government
neither a silver man nor a gold man,
but look on the existing currency syS-
tenn and on that which it is now pro-
posed to substitute for it as both bad
and on the hopes of the one side and
the fears of the other as both extrava-
CANT.
But you are right in believing me
to desire the election of Bryan. AS to
this l have no doubt or hesitation.
shall vote for him, not because he is
the regular nominee nor because hold
his views on the currency question, but
because in the choice now offered US
he clearly represents the Jeffersonian
principle-that principle of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
which is, to my mind, the only thing
worth struggling for in our politics and
the only thing by which and through
preserved from the dangers that now
menace it. All other conditions are
small to me beside this; and from what
know and have heard of the man,
shall vote for Bryan with greater sat
1SfactiOn and firmer confidence than
have voted for a presidential candidate
since Abraham Lincoln

BUT THE SON OF MAN.
Has Nowhere to Lay His Head Save
in the Police Station.

Detective zeller was awakened this
morning about 5 o'clock at his home on
Jefferson street by the neighbors and
told that there was dead man lying in
Willis Edson's yard on the corner of
Seventh and Jefferson streets.
He dressed hurriedly and went to in
vestigate. In the rear of Mr.. EdsOn's
yard he found a man lying PROSTATE
upon his back and a coat thrown loose
~ over his head and shoulders. He
lifted off the coat and found that it
was tramp who had become exhaust
ed and had lain down to rest. Get
up; what do you mean by lying here
in this mans yard?' said the detective
well, reckon a fellow has got to
sleep somewhere - said the tramp. The
patrol wagon was called and took the
tramp, who was Frank E. Wilson, to
the station. In police court he was
fined $50 and put to work on the stone
pile. He is not bright mentally The
other prisoners have named him San
key and he has been teased all lay
long.

RATS FIRE A HOUSE.
Run Under Building of Man Who
Touched a Match to Them.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-By the time Steph-
en- Perletice gets through with the Hi
nois Humane society, the police and
two or three insurance companies he
will know enough not to set fire to any
more rats.
Perletice poured oil over two ro-
dents and set them on fire in a trap.
Taking a pole he pressed open the
trap, and the tortured, blazing beasts
ran out. Perletice laughed, said it
was better fun than 'da f1rework," and
watched the rats run under the house
he lived in. They didn't squeaI much
when they got under there and the
Italian was somewhat disappointed.
Patiently Perletice waited to see the
result of his experiment. He had been
told that the other scared rats would
rush from the building, and as he had
a little coal oil left, he thought he
might possibly have some more fun -
By and by the rats began to come out
but Perletice didn't throw any kero-
sene on them. He had something else
to do. With the rats came a puff of
smoke from the ground floor of his
house that sent Perletice squealing in
side even faster than his victims went
in The tortured rats were partly re-
Venged. Their blazing fur had set fire
to the house of the inhuman expert
menter, and Perletice had to work hard
to save even his other undershirt. The
house was burned to the ground.

OLIVER OPTICS BIRTHDAY
The Great Author of Boys Stories
Now II Years Old.

Boston, Aug. 4.-William T. Adams,
known to all of the middle-aged men
in the country as Oliver Optic, the
writer of delightful stories for boys
passed his 74th birthday at his home in
this city yesterday It seems a bit like
delving into a past age for one to write
of Mr. Adams personality at this day
He has been in quiet retirement for so
long time that in many instances the
man himself is forgotten, while his
books are held in loving memory by a
generation already becoming crowned
with silver hairs
In spite of this. Mr. Adams is still
quite active in limited circle in Bos-
ton and Dorchester. For several years
past he has made it a point to go to
Europe, and, in fact, it was only few
days ago that he returned home from a
trip around the world. He is in spIend-
id health, his step is. firm, and his eye
has in it the merry twinkle that was
there years ago, and has always given
an index to pleasant disposition.

POTWIN CITY COUNCIL.
Matters of Moment to the Suburb to
be Settled.

The Potwin Place city council will
meet this evening at the Potwin school
house. It will be the regular monthly
session.
It is not likely that great deal of
business will be done.
The light question will come up again.
The city is trying to make some ar
rangement with the Sun VapOr Light
company that until recently had a con-
tract with the city of Topeka for light
ing the suburbs. 1t has been tabled
at several council meetings after having
been discussed at each.
The reduction of the dog tax will also
be decided and an ordinance passed cut
ting the price almost in two to cor
respond with the Topeka dog tax. The
ordinance was to have been passed at
the July meeting, but was deferred on
account of City Attorney Vance having
mislaid it.
The annual tax levy will be up for
discussion, but a special meeting will
be called later to pass the ordinance.
Tonight, however, a large amount of
sidewalk will be condemned to be put
within the limits of the tax levy.
