The Contest Begun.
Paola, Kas.

The Lawrence World (Rep.) is not
very enthusiastic over Harris effort to
secure the seat in Congress to which
Mr.. Peters was elected. 1t says:
"The World Is sorry that Mr.. Harris
has allowed the fellows to take another
pull on his leg by fling contest for
the seat In Congress that the people
gave to another man. If Mr.. Harris is
seated it will be as plain q case of steal
as this country has ever seen.
"The real enemies of the common
wealth are the men who refuse to abide
by the will Of the majority. They are
q menace to any kind Of government
and dangerous to the life of the coun-
try.
"Mr. Harris was not elected to Con.
gress from this district. The people
had fair vote and decided against
him. For him to now continue the
fight is to try to steal the seat.
"Mr. Harris contest can only be
based on one ground, and that is on
the friendly majority in the Rouse Of
Representatives. This is a position
unworthy man Of his standing.
"The Republican party cannot GO
into another campaign unless we do 1t
with clean hands. 1t is going to be
hard enough to make campaign In
any event, without having it thrown
in our faces that our own candidates
are seat stealers.
"There is only one effect this contest
can have on the position of District
Judge, and that is, it insures the seat
ing Of Mr.. Riggs. The PopuliSts will
of course retaIiste in kind. 1t may
not be right, but it is politics"

Kansas Strong Points.

In printing the program of the annual
meeting OF the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, something Of value and interest in
reference to the State is generally In
cluded. This year r. A. McNeaI writes
q short reference to the State and it's
redeeming features. II is here given:
Whatever you may think Of her po-
litical conduct; whether you wear the
sackcloth of the defeated, or snort with
the exultsnt snort Of the victor, the un-
alterable fact remains that Kansas is
still the geographical center Of the world
the linch-pin OF the universe.
"Eyen the fact that more people are at
this time engaged either in abusing her
or defending her shows that she is built
to attract attention and invite conten-
tion. The ordinary, commonplace things
OF the world do not attract attention;
only the things Of value invite conten-
ton.
"Kansas win in the future, az she has

Ing teachers, etc.
The vexStiOus questions Of corporal
punishment, and how far extends the
teachers right and duty to discipline
the pupil and control his actions on the
road to and from school, could well be
settled by statute. The conflicts which
now exist between various parts Of
our school laws should be ended. In
fact, the whole body of the school law
could proftably be revised from title
page to index.
No more school lands should be
alieuated by the State, but should re.
main In fee simple to the State for
ever-the rent thereof to be used as a
school fund.
The employment of teachers should
be permitted earlier in the year than
Is now possible.
City schools should be under the su-
pervlsion of County Superlntendents
or else their inhabitants should not
vote on County Superintendent.
The salary of County Superintend-
ent should be reduced.
State certificates for teachers should
last for FIVE years and the require
ments be less rigid than now.

In 1S41 Pennsylvania was In great

1t, says: "This money was issued by
the banks for the State. It was paid

transacted with IL, although 1t wac not

A Plan to Complete the State House.


EDITOR ADvocATE:-It has been
said that "Kansas never follows, but
always leads" During the last cam.
palgn one of the leading and funds-
mental principles of the Peoples party
the issuing of treasury notes-wsS
lost sight Of, while through the influ.
ence of corporations and the corrupt
use of large sums of money, we are
chained to the gold standard with the
prospect of retiring the remainder of
the treasury notes we have left, which
means the reducing Of the masses to
perpetual serfdom. When the govern.
ment persists In legislsting against the
people, it is time for the people to leg.
islste for themselves; or, In other
words, II the government will not de-
fend it's own producers, they will have
to defend themselves. Now, as the
Peoples party in Kansas will have full
power, 1 am going to make sugges
tion, which claim is both reasonable
and plausible.
Let the Legislature this winter pass
an act authorizing the issue Of State
treasury notes In sufficient amount to
complete the State House, making said
treasury notes receivable for taxes and
all dues to the State, and to run, say,
ten or twenty years without interest.
These notes after being paid out will
circulate among the people as current
money in the State, stimulate trade
and commerce and finally find their
way back into the treasury, and at the
end of Ten years we will have our State
House completed and paid for and
scarcely be able to realize how 1t was
done.
1 imagine I can already see certain
tools of corporations" would-be smart
Alecks"- are always ready to
sting the hand that offers them relief
and kiss the rod that smites them,
throwing up their hands in holy horror
and denouncing this as wild delu.
sion. But this is no untried expert
ment.
The colonies issued treasury notes
before the Revolution, and Warwick
Martin, in his "Hlstory Of the Money
of Nations" says: "Those colonies
issuing the most Of 1t were the most
prosperous and the best prepared to
support the Revolution"

News was received last week OF the
death OF Monroe l.. Bruce, who was fatal
~ injured in an elevator accident at the
Fall Mountain Paper Co.'s works, Bel
lows Falls, Thursday morning. MIR. Bruce
married Sarah, daughter OF Heman A.
Powers OF Brsintee and lived here for
some years prior to going to Bellows
Falls about six years ago.
The accident occurred in new elevator
that had just been put in. Mr.. Bruce and
e. Jones, both millwrights, were giving
the apparatus its finishing touches, The
elevator was stationary at the top of the
shaft and both men lay fiat on the floor,
face down and reached down under the
floor to do some measuring. Meantime
some one, probably a fellow enploye,
started the elevator and it began descend
ing very quietly. Mr. Jones says that the
first intimation of danger that be had was
a blow across the shoulders from the ele-
vator and an agoniZing cry from Bruce.
The elevator struck Bruce squarely in the
back OF the neck ands stopped. Jones
crawled out with only slight injuries, but
Bruce was like dead man. Had 1t not
been for a diusting cog arrangement
to prevent accidents the elevator would
have continued down and both men been
beheaded. The elevator itself weighs
about LOO pounds, but because OF the cog
apparatus only fraction Of this weight
struck Bruce.
Bruce was taken to his home and II was
found that while his mind was clear and
be could talk little, his body was com
pletely paralyzed. He died at II O'Clock
that night. He leaves a wife and three
little boys, father and mother and sis
ter OF Bellows Falls, brother in La
coma, y. H., and other more distant rel
atives here He had $1,000 life insurance
in an accident company.
The funeral was held at Bellows Falls
Monday and the remains brought here the
same day for burial. He was about 40
wears OF age
