Ar THE OLD STAND AGAIN.


lF'rom the New York Journal
The ferocity with which the trusts
are being attacked by newspapers that
up to within less than two weeks ago
were working hand-in-hand with the
trusts to win a presidential election
may puzzle the inexperienced. The eN-
perienced smile. and the champions of
our national honor who compose the
trusts eviuce no signs of fright. Were
the latter personally editing the news
papers which have resumed business at
the old anti-monopoly stand. they would
in all probability conduct them on the
same lines Such papers are far more
useful to the Carnegies. Pullmans and
Huntingtons than others. not less faith
ful but less shrewd, which make open
display of obsequiousness. The paper
that the trusts value is one which as
steady thing shows a heart all palpita-
ting with sympathy for a plundered
public, and keeps its teeth in good order
by gnashing them at the combinations
that do the plundering. Thus is rep
uation for honesty and public spirit
built UP, which can be utilized when the
right time comes. TO be against these
trusts when they are in no peril but
ready to spring to their help in the
hour of danger-that is the scheme.
When the hour arrives it is discovered
that great as are the rapacity, the wick
edness, the criminalily of the trusts,
there is some issue-the national honor,
say-which so immeasurably trans
cends in Importance the trusts that the
duty of bringing the combines to justice
must be deferred to more convenient
season. First the country has to be saw
ed. and then the trusts viii be wiped
from the face of the earth. And it
turns out that the country needs saving
most when the trusts are in sorest need
of help.
How many people are deceived by the
game which these newspapers, the lack
eys of the trusts, play so persistenty?
Not many. we should think. for the
game is SO very, very Old-quite as an
Gent as The gold brick sWindle.

The credit of Kansas has been hurt
by Kansas and not by the newspapers.
The latter have simply reported what
was going on in Kansas. They have
described the epidemic of dishonesty
prevailing there as they have described
cholera epidemics prevailing elsewhere
The trouble with the majority of the
people of Kansas is that they think a
man who has a. little surplus money is
a public enemy. who ought to be strip
ped of his possessions for their benefit.
If they can Wheeole him into lending
them his cash they turn around. de-
nOunce him as Understanding
usurer." and proceed to pass laws to
rob him.
The man who will not lend them his
money. in spite of all the inducements
they hold out. is abused as an an idle
holder of idle money" and is called
foe to humanity"
A state like an individual, can get
credit and the use of capital by re-
paying the borrowed capital out Of the
fruits of its labor But the kansans
would rather not repay borrowed capt.
tai They want to get money without
working for it. They cannot retain
other peoples cash and then expect to
get credit.-Chicago Tribune.

over the country keep up day after

Kansas since the election. Nothing is
gained by unjust and Inaccurate
statements. and there is neither truth
nor fairness in the diatribes which are
being directed against this state
1t is unreasonable to take the ire
sponsible clam0r of few demagogues
for the voice Of the state. a majority
of the people in Kansas are not Popu-
lists. and only very few Of the Ropu-
lists are dishonest. No laws coun-
tenancing the practice of dishonesty
have ever been passed here and there
are as many men who would denounee
and abhor dishonesty here as in Hi
nois or any state in the Union Hi
nois elected Altgeld and Kansas has
had no demagogue so outre as Altgeld-
Yet we do not denounce Illinois as a
state of anarchists. No general desire
exists in Kansas to defraud creditors
or bleed capitalists, nor is there any
danger of any laws sanctioning such
crimes being enacted in the state
The fact that Bryanite electors were
chosen here was certainly not due to
any desire to escape the full payment
of honest debts No temperate per
son would call every state which gave
its vote To Bryan community Of
thieves.

thanks approached Miles began to make
preparations for supplying some sub
stantial dish for the holiday table. He
took down his long baTreled dintlock,
filed his powderhOrn and his bullet
pouch, tied on his moccasins and started
ont before daylight into the adjacent
woods. If he had good luck, he caught
sight Of his prey after a walk of an hour
or so and laid him low with unerring
aim. Then he proudly walked back to
his log cabin and pumped down a Is
pound gobbler before the admiring Pris-
ella. Surely there was good cause for
giving thanks on such an occasion, for
your domestic reared turkey cannot be-
gin to compare in delicate flavor with
that Of his wild brother who has fed on
dried berries. nuts and aromatic buds
until his flesh, though perhaps not so
tender, is delicious to the taste.
It is in sections where the wild turkey
was once found. but from which he has
disappeared, that the Thanksgiving tur-
key shoot flourishes. There being none
Of the wild birds about to give the vii
lage marksmen a chance to show their
skill. the domesticated turkey is used
as a substitute.
Almost every locality Of this sort has
an individual who may be relied upon
to get up the shoot. IN certain little
town in northern Michigan which I have
in mind just now this Office was filed
by Rule Jackson, who passed the sum-
mer months in the wheelhouse of a lit
tie tug Of which he was captain and
crew. During the fall and winter Rufe
turned his hand to almost anything that
did not demand hard work and in which
there was an honest dollar.
So along about Thanksgiving time
there appeared in the local weekly paper
a notice to the effect that .'our enter
prising and genial townsman, Captain
Rufe Jackson, has secured from Detroit
two dozen fine turkeys which he is fat
tening in anticipation of the annual
Thanksgiving turkey shoot which he

ending. il the lake. So on Thanksgiv-
ing morning every man who thought he
was a good rife sh0t-and there were
full twOscore IN the viIlage-could be
seen making his way down toward the
lake shore.
Hello. dool Where you goin with
the gun?'' was a common salutation on
such occasions.
"Oh, just down to the shore.
Expect to get one of Cap'n Rufe's
turkeys?"
''Oh. moi I'm just going to throw a
little lead at 'em for fun. Want to help
Rufe out. you know.
This reply would call out a hearty
laugh, for it was we'll known that the
doctor was one of the best shots in town
and that he usually got a turkey pretty
cheap Oh Thanksgiving day.
At the lake shore would be gathered
from 90 to rs men, naost Of them with
rifles, but some without. The latter
were the noncombatants who had come
down to see the fun along with half the
boys in the village. Out on the edge Of

but it was not until the seventh shot
that the waving neck of the turkey dis
appeared from sight
''Got him that time. Hayesr' re-
marked the captain. Here. boy, run
down and get that bird, viii you2''
When the trophy was brought back,
it was "hefted' by the crowd, who de-
cided that it was a good 2 FOUNDER.
Then the doctor signified his intention
of shooting a little. and fresh bird was
put up. The doctor got him at the sixth
shot, and the captain said that so cents
was twice as much as he had expected
to get from him.
Then came the other marksmen. Some
of them shot as many as a dozen times
without even hitting the stump, and
the next three or four turkeys which
were killed brought the captain in from
81 40 to 81 each. The firing had been
going Oh merrily for an hour, when
peculiar looking figure came shutting
down the street.
''Hellol Here's old Jake -
Jake proved to be a half breed In
dian, we'll known as a village character.
A cur dog loped along at his heels, and
he trailed an antiquated and battered
muzzle loading rife. Jake viewed the
shooting for awhile, and then handed
out 10 cent piece to the captain with
out a word. Raising his long baTele5
gun to his shoulder he cautiously took
aim ana fred. The turkey s head still
waved dehantly and Jake swore fluent
". With a good deal Of grumbling he
ished out another dime and reloaded his
rife 1t was evident that he meant bust
ness this time, for he peered carefully
through the sights before he pulled the
trigger. There was a squirt of blood on
the white snow. and the turkeys head
disappeared. Jake's second bullet had
cut the bird s head of as clean as If it
had been severed with a Ratchet. Tuttle
bought the prize, and Jake went back
up town to invest the proceeds Of his
craftsmanship in hot and rebeIlious
liquor.
These are some Of the incidents con
nected with the most recent turkey shoot
that I witnessed. and. although that was
a dozen years ago, I suppose that this
coming Thanksgiving there will be
similar gathering down on the lake
shore. SEwELL Ford.

Rufe had marked off the line behind
which the marksmen were to stand. The
boys had built up a fire Of driftwood,
where numbed fingers might be thawed
out, and all was in readiness
Now, boys, spoke up the captain,
we're all ready for the slaughter. I've
got two dozen fine birds out there, fat
and young and tender. and it only costs
you 10 cents a shot. Who'll open the
ball?''
The captains assistant had tied one
Of the turkeys behind the log, and tbs
bird was peering foolishly about to see
what was going to happen next. There
was a loud laugh from the crowd when
Tuttle, vino kept the hardware store,
stepped up to the improvised range and
tossed a half dollar to the captain, with
the remark that he reckoned he could
get two or three birds for that. "
As futile was known to be the Door
est but most persistent shot in town, his
optimistic sally was regarded as the
height Of the ridiculous. With a good
humOred smile he told the crowd to
watch him knock that fellows head
of" and blazed away with his new
breechloading rifle. His first shot sent
up little cloud of powdered ice 20 feet
to the right of the turkey. The second
went as far to the left The third was

you re gittin it, encouragingly sug-
gested the captain, while the bystanders
added other remarks which were not so
encouraging.
I'll get him this time sure, - said
futile. But he didn't. There was much
discussion as to where his bullet really
did strike, but the point was not settled.
There was no disputing one fact-the
captain had SO cents in his pocket, and
not feather of his first bird had been
touched
While Tuttle was carefully cleaning
out his rife and reloading another
marksman stepped up to the line His
bullets went much nearer the mark than
those of the hardware dealers, but
turkey S head is not an easy mark to hit
at 100 yards, especially when strong
wind is sweeping across the range. So

been paid almost twice as much as the
bird cost him, and was feeling very good
natured.
