The advocate., 1897-09-01

DllLncul. luby were ultu WlIU U6llSNGu
in the Importance of separating the ju-
dietary from the turmoil and strife of
partisan politics. Though a POpulist
convention, they elected a well-knOwn
Democrat for Judge, not because he
was a Democrat or a partisan. Mr.
Hettinger is a well-knOWn citizen and a
conspicuous member Of the Reno
county bar. He has the requisite quail
ificatiOns to make first-class jurist-
an evenly balanced mind and classi-
cal education. In his business rela-
tions he is careful, painstaking and
methOdical. He has judicial mind
and it wouldn't be possible for him to
carry any partisan prejudice with his
duties as a bench officer"
NeOsho county teachers at their nor
nal institute passed the following:
Resolved, That we feel the time has
now come in the history Of NeoshO
county when the grade Of teachers
should be raised We, therefore, COM
mend State Superintendent Stryker for
his efforts to accomplish this much
needed reform, believing that 1t will
result in great benefit to the schools
of NeOsho county, and also to the
teachers themselves. We also heartily
indorse the actions Of the State Legis-
lature in establishing State uniformity
OF school books. Resolved, That we eX-
tend our congratulations to the people
and more especially to the teachers Of
the State of Kansas upon the fact that
we now have a State Legislature with
the patriotism to legislate in the in
terest Of all the people of our noble
State, regardless Of the boOdling inhu-
ence Of book trusts and corporations
In addition to this, Mr. Stryker has un-
solicited opinions from fully half Of the
County Superintendents expressing
substantially the same ideas as the
above,
Lyons Eagle: "Unless people are
talking through their hat, this cOmmu-
nifty is being flooded with spurious
money. So plentiful is it and so openly
is it done, that it seems as though little
attempt, if any, is made to conceal the
fraud. A prominent business man IN
this city informed us last week that he
sent East for 81 800, and when the
package arrived on it was pasted this
legend, 1880 Accent dollars" He In
formed us he passed every one of those
dollars off on this unsuspecting COM
munity for 100 cents. Now we submit,
if these silver dollars were really 49,
cent dollars and were paid out for 100
cent dollars, then those who received
them for 100-cent dollars were swim
died out of 81 cents on every one OF
them, or those who called them Accent
dollars were talking through their hat,
did not mean it, and only talk Ascent
dollars to scare the ignorant voter and
prejudice him against voting for his
own interest--the free coinage of sill
YER. These are the only two horns to
the dilemma, and they can take their
choice"
While at home recently ex-Represen-
tatile A. A. Newman, Of Clay county,
was met by Republican who assured
him that the argument that there was
any relation between the prices OF
cereals and silver was fallacy and
that it was demonstrated by the pres
ent prices of wheat and silver. New
man assured his neighbor that If a
law were placed on the statute book
forbidding the use of wheat products
for food that it's price would drop to
very low level, and that continual
discrimination against silver had ac-
complished the same purpose. He in
cidentally called attention to the fact
that the last election having demon
strated that the people of this country
had neglected to do anything to help
themselves out of the troubles now ex-
listing as a result OF the scarcity of the
circulating medium the Almighty had
permitted the discovery of an endless
