WOMEN AND POSTAL BANKS

Wherever postal savings bank
are IN operation women are among
the most appreciative patrons OF
the system. As rule, women are
more careful of small sums than
men, and seem to have a more
practical realization of the value Of
such accumulations. In many
families it is only the foresight oi
the wife that leads to provision
being made against day of ad
versity.
The desire of women more
generally than of men is for q
place of absolute. safety for theii
small savings, rather than high
rates of interest. Consequently
they are especially appreciative Of
the stability which the postal saw
ings bank affords.
Probably congress could do nc
other one thing that would SC
commend it to the women of the
country as would the establish
ment of a postal savings bank sys'
tem.--Chicago Record.

JUDGE HAcKNEY. senior editor o

JUDGE HACKNEY, senior editor OF
the SilUer Bet, has just celebrated
his eighty.third birthday. Judge
Hackney has always been oousld-
cred one of the brainIest men of
the territory. Whenever he puts
his pen to paper it counts. His
editorials are always on the side of
what he believes to be justice, and
he always strikes hard. He has a
peculiar habit of being on the side
of the ''under dog, We sincerely
trust he will enjoy good health for
many more years.

1t is to be hoped that the stocL
holders of the Montezuma, San Jose
and Layton Town canals will con.
solidate the three canals into one.
1t will be one Of the greatest things
for this portion of the valley that
has yet happened. 1t will develop
thousands of acres of now worth
less land. 1t will reduce the cost
of canal maintenance, it will give
more water at the lower end of the
canal and just as much at the up
per end. On Salt River it has been
demonstrated that for the farmers
to be successful it was necessary TO
enlarge the canals, at the same
time reducing their number. Since
this was done the farmers down
their raise their grain at less cost
than In any other section of the
Territory. We trust those inter.
ested will give the matter serious
and thoughtful consideration be-
fore rejecting it. If this is done
we are confident the consolidation
will be effected. Itls fact that
some means must soon be devised
by which the farmer can obtain
water for irrigation purposes at a
less cost than heretofore, and we
believe the matter of consolidation
will solve the question to a great
extent.

A CreditabIe Newspaper situatiOn.

The POpulist papers OF the State are
somewhat divided as to the matter OF
approving Governor Leedy's recent in
terview in which he favors capital pun
ishment. These papers take up his
views on the question and discuss them
fairly and intelligently without any dis
position to approve because OF his con-
nection with the party to which they
have given allegiance, but with view to
expressing their opinions without res
ervatiOn. This is characteristic of Pop
ulist papers. They, Of all papers, are
the most Independent and the least In
Clined to put their o. X. on every pTOpO-
sition that comes along bearing the
party label. An eX-Republican who Is
now running Populist paper says that
he finds more personal satisfaction by
far In the conduct Of his paper now than
he did before he made the change. He
is now at liberty TO express his ideas as
he sees fit, and his readers, instead Of
finding fault, commend it. II there Is
anything that is calculated to make the
average Populist weary 1t is o man who
is incapable Of thinking for himself or
who Is afraid to give his ideas on cur
rent topics without consulting some po-
litical boss or machine, either of which
exists for purely mercenary purposes,
without regard to the welfare or inter
ests of the public. The prevalence of
Populist editors who are free men and
who follow their own judgment and the
dictates of their own conscience Is the
essential thing in the preservation Of
the party, and through 1t, Of the govern
ment.

LeaVenWorth Daily Times. Col. ID. r.
Anthony has time and again directed
public attention to political chiCanery
and debauchery within the party ranks,
and yet he has one of the best equipped

this not lead to the conclusion that 1t
pays, in the matter of dollars and cents,
to pursue such policy?
Gill Tucker, of Emporia, realizes that
republics are ungrateful to their illus

year by making speeches on subjects of
which he knew nothing, but in which
particular he was no more unfortunate
than large part of his co-workers for
Republican success. He has lately been
detained in county Jail because Of his
crap-shooting proclivities, and his ap-
peals to the Republican committee for
bail have been in vain.

The Anarchist CIV Again Heard.

Anarchist" Clemens, of Topeka, is
'agin" the death penalty for murder,
esteeming capital punishment murder
itself. Yet Anarchist" Clemens openly
advocates violence and murder as
means Of restoring what he supposes to
be lost liberties.-Empori Republican.
The editor Of the EmpOria Republican
knows, il he knows anything, that Mr..
Clemens does not either openly or other
wise advocate any such doctrine. He
knows that Mr.. Clemens ideal govern
ment would be the most orderly and
peaceful one imaginable. He knows
that he cannot point to a single line ever
written or word uttered by Mr.. Glenn
ems which even gives color to the charge
that he favOrs violence or murder as a
means of accomplishing any purpose.
He knows that Mr.. Clemens has been
dubbed an anarchist by the Republican
press because he has always been per-
sistent and consistent enemy Of the Re-
publican party because of its oppression
and debauchery in managing public
affairs and because of it's utter disregard
of the rights of the masses, the common
people, in its efforts to maintain and
build up the classes, the corporations.
1t is characteristic of these papers to
call every man an anarchist who fights
for the interests of the common people
and who to do so must and does fight the
Republican party.

Kansas Has the Best Attorney General She
Ever Had,

During the last campaign a great deal
was heard about the mere boy that the
POpulists were trying to elect to the
Office Of Attorney General. 1t was stated
that he was young and inexperienced
and that the States legal business would
suffer through neglect and inefficiency
on his part if he were elected. The COM
mon people had long since learned that
they were better off when they paid no
attention to these Republican papers
and they elected Mr.. Boyle by very
respectable majority. He settled down
to his work like a veteran and took up
the legal battles that were to be fought.
He soon demonstrated his ability to go
into court and hold his own with the
best legal talent in the State. He took
the peoples side of every contest and
with rare legal ability prepared and pre-
sented his case. He has already won the
fight for equitable railroad rates for
stockmen, and his victory in the stock
yards fight in which he had to contest
with the ex-President Of the National
Bar Association and others who were
practiclng law before he was born, shows
that he is the young, vigorous, learned,
up-to-date officer that Kansas has so
long needed. He is the ablest and best
qualified Attorney General the State has
ever had. He has other battles yet to
fight, the result Of which will add to the
deserved honOrs already won.

Hints have appeared in various Repub-
lican papers to the effect that Congress-
man Curtis would be willing to meet
either Congressman Botkln or Jerry
Simpson in a joint debate on the issues
between what they call Organism and
McXinleyism. Congressman Botkin, on
learning of this, authorized challenge
directed to Congressman Curtis or any
other representative Republican to take
up these questions in joint debate. Mr..
Botkin wants all day discussions at any
place desired in Kansas, to be continued
until either party expresses uesire to
quit. The discussions to be attended by
the representative people of Kansas and
not before a selected audience. The
challenge has been before the public sew

is not what Republican wants.

Populist RepudiatOrs.

Last year the burden of the tale of
woe of the Republican press was that
Populists were repudiators. This tune
was sung in chorus by the whole crowd
Of newspapers and campaign orators and
always had place at the top of the
first column in the gold-bug supple

Populist county. I'm it the party has
lately had a very satisfactory majority,
and in Lacrosse, the county seat, one
firm has received $4,000 already this
year in collections in payment for mort
cages and interest. 1t expects the
amount to reach S75,OOO These figures
show that Populists are ready and will

tablished the gold standard, 1t now be-
came their duty to adjust and arrange
existing coin and currency with refer
ence to preserving and maintaining the
fundamental idea and with reference to
the business interests OF the people, and
he thought that the ".most important
point to be considered is how to handle
the vast amount Of silver that 1t may
be maintained at par with gold" for,
he added, "the conclusion is growing and
becoming conviction with the most
thoughtful and conservative citizens that
the United States notes, the green
backs should be retired and that the
bank note issues, II needed, should be
substituted. The financial affairs Of the
government should be divorced as far

Quarantine Case Advanced,

extensive losses occurred. The stock
men, numbering 134, secured judgments

idea of making themselves solid with
