Profit in Pork.-It can be set down
as a rule that the largest profit In rails
ing pork will result from keeping only
the best breeds constantly in a growing
condition from the time they are born
until slaughtered. Have a good field Of
clover for pasture during the summer
and as soon as wheat threshing Is over
allow them the freedom Of the orchard; ;
screenings, small potatoes, pumpkins,
and other unmarketable products, and
thus utilize what would otherwise be
wasted. After the first frost shut them
I'D and feed corn, but let them have an
abundant supply of ashes and salt,
which should be kept in a small box in
the corner Of the pen. A liberal sup
ply of charcoal Is also good for them.
When there is a good bed Of Goals in
the stove throw three or four fire shoY-
elsful into the swill bucket and 1t will
aid in promoting digestion. When fat
tenlng, quiet and clean, dry bed are
indispensable in making pork raising

This country nor no ether can ever
claim a government of the people, for
the people and by the people, complete.
until the principle of the initiative and
referendum is formulated into organic
law. We may institute compromises
and makeshifts, we may choose tried
and responsible men to high official po-
sitions, but the law making power will
not be under the direct control of the
people until we have the initiative
and referendum as a safeguard. 1t
is not new thing; there is nothing
radical or visionary about it, but it is
one of the fundamental elements that
enter into representative democracy
and an absolutely free government.
Jefferson had this idea when he said
that a government derives its powers
from those whom it governs. And
why should 1t notP No people can be
free and independent when they are
burdened with vicious laws, no race
can be happy and content when it is
victimized by favored class and no

recognize the omnipotence of wealth
and avarice. These are cold facts to
which ancient and modern history will
attest alike. The remedy-and the on.
ly absolute remedy-is to be foun d in
restoring the legislative power to the
people and this brings US right back to
the inlative and referendum. It
would long since have become part of
the governmental machinery, il the
people, generally speaking, understood
it better. 1t simply allows the people
to adopt or reject a law after having
passed the legislative and executive
branches. In other words it is ''lnitiat
ed" in the lawmaking quarters, and
REFERRED to the people. This is fair,
just and right to the government as
we'll as to the people at large. 1t is
what the people want and what the
country needs. Hasten the day when
it will be law.

"CAN anybody assign sufficient reas-
on why the rates of interest for the use
OF money ought not TO be reduced to a
level with the profits on labor?"-Tope-
ka Advocate.
1t seems that there were quite mum.
Der In the legislature, some Populists,
who had a reason why interest rates
should not be reduced. At least their
action in slaughtering the bill providing
for the reduction, would indicate it.
We believe that interest rates are too
high and every Populist who was
elected last fall pretended to believe
the same thing but sudden change
oyercame some of them Immediately af-
ter the legislature convened. The same
might be said of several distinguished
lobbyists Of the recent session.

TIE NEW TARIFF.

The pet measure of the lower house
of Congress is the Dingley bill, its au-
thor being Congressman Dingley, of
Maine. 1t is strictly manufacturers
measure which of course will have
some considerable effect. Under the
provisions of the bill tie principal ne
cessitles of life will be taxed about
twice as much as they are now, and
sugar, which was on the free list under
the boosted Mckinley bill, will be levied
upon heavily. Salt, lumber, wool, coal
and in fact nearly everything the mass
es need in every day life suffers SINH
lar fate. It Is admitted that the con-
sumner pays the tax and therefore every
man, woman and child in Barber coun-
ty will help to put up" to the affiuent
corporations of the East, provided that
the Dingley bill is passed which, in all
probability, it will.
After all it is right that the republi-
can hobby should be put in force. On
the issue of the gold standard and high
tariff the republican party won the day
and the people ought to have just what
they voted for. OF course it will be So
we're on the minority who voted for re-
lief but they will have to stand 1t as
best they can. If 1t is the desire of a
majority of the American people that
the producers and wage earners shall
pay the taxes while the extremely rich
are exempt, their will is law and such a
state of affairs will exist as long as the
masses will tolerate it. But it is our
opinion that great many of the people
were fooled and deceived and may
have already been awakened to that
fact. All that is now necessary to de-
feat the republican party is for congress
and the administration to adhere to a
high tariff and the single gold standard.

Tom Watson's Peoples Party Paper:
There Is no suggestion Of mugwumpery
about this new administration. It is
stalwart to the core. Mckinley has
not obtained his election as a republi
can with the purpose of antagonizing
republican policies. He is not posing
as the big chief who is bigger and bet
ter than all the other chiefs, and who is,
therefore, above all other party shack
les. He is republican of the strictest
sect, and he brings all the weight of a
lofty character, superior intellect and
amiable disposition to the maintenance
OF his party's creed. McKinley's cabi-
net, therefore, is made up of those who
feast on class legislation; those who
claim that the laws should be framed in
their special interest; those who preach
the gospel of legal and political equality
but whose practice tends to concentrate
all wealth, all privilege and all power
Into the hands Of q few, thus revClu-
tionizing our republic into an aristoc-
racy based upon wealth alone.

HON. ". r. BROWN WELCOMED.
Pratt UniOn,1

The reception rendered Hon. w. F.
Brown in the court room last Saturday
was well attended. The Pratt Cornet
band played some of its best music for
the occasion. Then the meeting was
organized by electlng VIM. Barrett
chairman and Amos Magruder secre-
tary.
Mr.. Barrett in taking the chair, made
a neat little speech, then appointed a
committee to escort Mr.. Brown to the
room. Mr.. Brown addressed the audi
ence, explaining the work of the legis-
lature on the maximum freight rate
bill, talked OF the many good laws that
were passed and expressed himself ID
favor of a special session for the pur-
pose Of enacting a maximum rate.
Judge Mckay was then called for and
pleased the audience with a non parti-
san address upon the issues confront.
ing the people, then the following reso-
lutions were adopted and the meeting
adjourned.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The people of Pratt county,
irrespective of party, haYe heretofore
and do now demand certain reforms in
the legislation of the state of Kansas:
that among these reforms was the adop-
ton of a school text book bill for the
cheapenlng Of the cyst of books to the
patrons OF our common schools, the
passage of strict usury bill with
heavy penalties for violation of the
same, a bill regulating the charges and
management of stock yards in the state
that the stock interests of our state
should be fostered and protected, and
as the chief measure of reform that a
maximum freight rate law should be
enacted that should greatly reduce the
extortionate and plratical charges now
made by the railroad corporations of
this state for the transportation of the
products of the Drawn and labor of this
state. and that the board of railroad
commissioners should be clothed with
greater power to enforce said rates and
that said board should be made elective
by the people.
Whereas, the influence and vote of
Hon. w. +. Brown in the late session
of the legislature was for the enact
ment into law of all the said demands
and other promises Of our platform,
Therefore be it
n0SOIV0Q, 1DHL III t1Ou. w. 4 +. 6rOWD
we recognize true aud tried repre-
sentative of the people, one who be-
lieves that campaign promises should
be kept and that the will of the people
as expressed at the ballot box should
be needed by public servants.
We further commend Governor j. w.
Leedy for his manly veto of the abort
i've pleasure known as the senate rail-
road bill, and for his effort to call 10 .
proper sense of their duty the few re-
calcitrant legislators, that with the SOL
id republican vote attempted to fasten
such an inadequate law upon the peo-
pie as the proper measure of the reform
desired
We further insist that special ses-
sion of the legislature be called by the
governor to pass measure not less pro-
tective of the peoples interests than
the maximum freight rate law known
as the House railroad bill.
