REPREsEETATIVE PATTON WILL RE
MAIN WITH BARBER.

About ten days ago report was cir
culated to the effect that Representa-
tive Patton had made arrangements to
remove to Colorado after his term of
Office would expire. a near friend of
MIR. Patton told us. however, that the
report was false and we regarded it as
mere gossip by few individuals until
the Kiewa Journal of last week made a
somewhat bitter attack on Mr.. Patton
and incidentally scored the Peoples par
ty for nominating and electlng man
to that responsible position VINO is not
even resident of the state. no interest
here. etc. etc. In consequence of this
premature editorial we Immediately
wrote to Mr.. L. and inquired as to the
authenticity of the report, not that we
dio not think lie had the right to go to
Colorado if he wished, without harm
ing anybody, but because we would
have regretted to see him leave and to
publish the truth. We received reply
from Mr. Patton yesterday and we
quote the following few lines bearing
upon this subject:
ALLOW me To say tight here that !
never have said that intended to go to
Colorado. | am too poor to buy tick
ct to Colorado or any other state. but l
/ will get back to Barber if [ live. If /
die, hope to have my body sent there
for BURIAL
We think that Mr.. Patton's Ian
guage is sufficiently strong to prove
to the mind of anybody that our rep
reSentative has as much interest in the
| npbullding OF our county and state as
anybody and his unceasing labors at
Topeka will be commended 10y all re

County Commissioners at their quarter

MISCELLANEOUS.
We believe that corporation char
tered in the State of Kansas and under
her laws must be composed of citizens
of Kansas and that such corporation
shall be considered to have forfeited its
charter when it elects president or di.
rectors not residents within this state
and we further believe that the duties
to the public assumed by corporations
should be more strictly defined and
when so defined should by proper legIs-
lation be enforced.
We believe in the public ownership
of public utilities. We are therefore in
| favor of the state doing its owr
printing and furnishing the outfit, the
same to be managed by a state printer
elected by the people.
We believe that the state should fur
nlsh every school district copy of The
session laws free of charge in order
that they may be easy of access to ths
people and also for use in the schools
We believe in The state furnishing
| free text books for use in the public
schools and demand that something b..
done on this line to break up the extor
| ton practiced By the various book con
Germs upon a helpless public.
We believe that the Initiative ana
referendum would bring about a whole
some reform in our laws, and we there
fore ask that steps may be taken to
ward securing It's adoption.
We are in favor of amending the con
stltutlon to meet the requirements o.
the present, but if this mode should re
qulre large number of amendment!
we are of the opinion that a constitu
tional convention would probably bt
the better way.

and support principles on the following
lines:
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

Fad. No advantage to be given any

Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1897-01-20
THE FoPULIsT LEGISLATURE.

Will be abused, ridicu,ei and mis-
represented by the republican press of
the state. Every appointment that the
administration makes, where any pos
sible excuse can be found, will be crit
icIsed and the appolntee misreprcsent-
ed. Nothing out Of which political cap
ltal can be made, will be overlooked.
The Topeka Advocate will print the
truth. 1t will give special attention to
reports of legislative proceedings and
the acts Of the new officers. Its reports
will be truthful and reliable. When
measures which the party is supporting
or opposing are being discussed the Ad-
vocate will give liberal space to the ar.
guments of both sides. 1t viii give a
synopsis of all general bills introduced
and at the close of the session VIII give
a general statement of the new laws
enacted No reading Populist should
be without it. 1t will be furnished for
81 90 per year. Write the Advocate
Pub. Co. Topeka, Kansas, for sample
copy.

The Union Pacific funding
bill is defeated and the ac-
ton of congress in the matter
is being widely Endorsed.
The government has a lien on
the road and the funding
process would have been an
outrage in that it would have
extended the tine of pay
ment an unreasonable length
OF time which would have
amounted to a practical do
nation Dy the government to
the company. It is hard to
tell what disposition will be
made of property, but the
proper thing to do would be
for the government to own
and operate the lines on
which it has liens and the in
debtedness upon which has
become due and remains I'M

eminent could have a prac-

pie could see for themselves

In glancing over a republican ey-
change we recently ran across the
startling statement that the cause of
Populism is dead and buried forever
for no other reason than that it has
come to light that a man who voted the
Peoples party ticket committed embez

ments as these must certainly emenate
from diseased mind and we doubt not
but chat the more intelligent of the
rank and file of the republican party it.
self is heartily ashamed of sheet that
will give time and space to such non
sense. We are not contending and the
Peoples party has never claimed that
all those who vote the ticket are saints.
All men are prone to error and many
fall into the mire of unrighteousness.
but these failings of humanity do not
degrade economic principles. What
the reading public is DESTROYS of know
ing is which of the political parties
promises to enforce measures that will
better humanity and this government
as nation. 1t is not necessary that
we learn what ticket every criminal
who has been found guilty before the
law, voted, but it is necessary that the
American people know what a party
promises to do for the country when il
is asking for the voters suffrage. If
the republican press cannot meet Popu-
list argument it would entitla itself to
some public respect by refraining from
these open absurdities.
