LOVED SLEEP roo WELL
That Was What Prsvented the states.

That Was What Prevented the States
mans Success In Politics.
Last evening people passing s. Barn.
um's store. on the west side of Kansas
avenue, noticed large man sleeping
soundly In q large covered spring
wagon near the street curb, says the
Topeka Journal. He was stretched
across the seat. and. while his position
was not comfortable one, the man did
not care. His broad chest rose and fell
at regular periods, which indicated deep
slumber. Occasionally a whirring
noise like the suppressed srunt Of pig
escaped the sleeper. It was q shore, but
not the ceiling-destroying kind. A close
inspection would have revealed the
chubby face Of a man well advanced In
years, his cheeks covered with a thick
growth Of short gray hair and his head
with an old SLOUGH hat. Then the OBJ
server would have been startled to find
a strong resemblance to a man who was
well known in public life In Kansas
not long ago. The man looked like ex-
Congressman Ben Glover, and In truth
1t was he.
Ex-Congressman Clover now drives
the reform school wagon, and may be
seen on the streets Of Topeka every day.
He was given the place as a reward for
political services rendered in the last
campaign. He doesn't know anything
about training boys, but Governor Nor
rills business administration gave him
q Job. When Mr.. Glover was In con-
gress he contracted the sleeping habit,
and II made him famous. When an
important measure was being consid-
cred he was wont to steal out In the
ante-room and stretch his portly form
on the luxurious cushions Of govern
ment sofa, and while his colleagues
wrested with some intricate question
affecting their constituency, Congress
man Clover of Kansas slept, and, 1t is
said, snored; not softly nor gently, but
loud enough to be heard In the legis-
lative hall. Then Mr.. Clover's con-
stituency got angry and elected some
one else, and since then he has been
compelled to take his maps in less con-
venient places. Other people have con-
tracted habits In congress, but 1t re-
NAMED for Congressman Clover TO
make a departure and become. like
Dickens fat boy, a confirmed sleeper.

MONEY FOR THE KOOTENA|
Five Thousand Dollars to Pull
Snags out of the River.
LOCAL NEWS ITEMS

The people of the Kootenai Val
ley have no cause for complaint of
the treatment received at the hands
of the Hon. Edgar Wilson, the
member of congress from this state.
Mr.. Wilson has introduced two
bills into congress, each of which
if they become laws, will be of
great benefit to this locality. One
is the bill to establish sampling
works at this place and the other
is to secure an appropriation to
improve the Kootenai River. Both
of these propositions will adorn the
statute books unless present indi-
cations fail. The latest informa
ton in regard to the latter propo-
sition is contained in the following
telegram which explains itself.

A QUESTION OF THE GOVERNMENT
STAMP.

A QUESTION OF THE GOVERNMENT
STAMP.
Our esteemed neighbor on Fourteenth
ST. has stopped asking questions and
taken to making assertions. Here IS
one of It's latest:
This government cannot as some peo-
pie suppose. create value by puIIlnS -
stamp or an article. No government Oh
earth can do that. II cannot take plTJe
of paper and print upon II. ms y d uui
lar" neither can IL take nifty cents WOIIln
of silver and make it a dollar by a slihlidI
declaration If the fiat of the government
was that powerful t could stamp on me
hack of mule. This IS morse anu
Immediately the mule would peGolle "
horse. Everybody can see the IIulCu'OU'
ness of that proposition.
we see a funnier thing that that
every time the esteemed Intelligencer
comes out, and that is a goldbug who
saws that the government does do the
very thing that this same goldbug in
the next breath says it cant do. And
what is funniest of all is this same gold
bug basing his whole argument for jhe
single gold standard on this very propo-
sition, which he demoli5hes at the very
outset of the argument.
To an intelligent man it requires no
illustration. We give an illustration for
the benefit of our esteemed neighbor.
For example, what becomes of the gold
bug argument that our silver dollars
are worth gold to-day, if the govern
ment stamp has nothing to do with il?
Take the stamp off the silver dollar and
what is it worth, as measured by the
present gold standard? 1t would be
worth a dollar under bimetallism, but
to-day, under the single gold standard
it is worth only about so cents. What
adds The other so cents and makes the
silver dollar worth 100 cents in gold?
Il is the government stamp and nothing
else
What makes our government and
bank notes worth anything? Take the
governments stamp off them and what
will they be worth? They would not be
worth as much per pound as the blank
paper which the editor of the Intelligen-
Ger spoils when he writes such frightful
nonsense as we have quoted above.
What gives these notes-these mere
pieces of paper their value then if it is
not the government stamp?
Money is nothing unless it is recog-
missed as a lawful medium of exchange
for products Although the production
of gold in the mines Of the world has
