Oh, Shame!

Is it possible that the ''foul Eng
land of today where royalty and no.
bility buy po:erty's children Of both
sexes for vile and uncomfortable pur-
poses" is the goldites standard of civ
ilization. 1t has been less than four
months since a minister of the gospel
in Lowell, Massachusetts, said in his
sermon that there were IA, 900 woman
in that town and that z 900 of them
were leading lives of immortality by
reason of the low wages paid them,
and he charged the fault to the man u,
featuring barons of that city who
were living in palaces wrung from the
toll of the laborer. In the language of
Patrick Henry, is there mot voice
to whisper hope to them? Must they
continue to thus live, with no hope to
encourage them, but the repeated and
broken promises of the past, supple-
mented with ',confdence" that their
condition is right, and prosperity
lie?

how to vote. Will our industrious,
hard working farmers follow the ad.

will they conclude to vote with their
neighbors and friends for the free
coinage of silver and the increased
prices on farm produce that will sure
ly follow the election of VIM. j.

The ancient romancer of the Reg
lister must have been thinking he was
writing up his famous Con psper) ir.
rigation ditch when he wrote up the
Mckinley torch-light procession last
week. There was about as much
foundation for the most wonderful
claims made concerning that long
talked of parade as there is in that
great Hoisington irrigation canal
and the people of Barton county know
the canal business as standing joke.
A number of men counted the torches
in the Mckinley parade, and the
highest number counted was 314-93
of which were carried by kids from 5
to Is years old. IF, as the the Regisr
ter says" Ellinwood sent 100 men and
Hoisington TO-" and there were SO
nonr.voters in line the Great Bend
enthusiastic Mckinley men were not
much in evidence. 100, 70 and SO,
equals 263, subtracted from 314
leaves 81 Great Bend Mckinley vot-
ers in assuming the Register s
statement about the numbers from
Ellinwood and Hoisington is correct
which would be assuming a great
deal, however.

DEMOCRATIC and populist COM
mitteemen, and all voters in fact who
are interested in the success Of the
silver ticket, should take pains to see
that.all voters understand the posi-
ton of the two tickets on the official
ballot. It will be a regular blanket
sheet affair, and unwieldly to handle
in the small booths. There should be
one man on each election board to
give instructions, or assist, where
voters do got understand how to
properly mark the tickets.

IT WAS James G.. Blaine who said

WHEN the republican speakers
tell you that the gold-standard is all
right, ask them why they seek for
international agreement" for free
silver coinage. When they tell you
ssthe tariff is the issue" ask them why
they disagree with all the big men
in their party who assert that money
is the issue.

Nor republican in Barton county
entertains an idea that his ticket will
win in this county, and many Of the
more conservative republicans con-
cede that the county and state will
give majority for Bryan and tree

let US not be satisfied with just win
ming the county-let us do it by such
an overwhelming majority as was
never before known in old Barton.

HERE is wisdom from London
Andrew Carnegie says the farmers OF

our farmers more of the prosperity"
they now enjoy.
