Hiawatha World lRen.
GENERAL.

IM Hiawatha World (Rep):
nEIEpAI The politician generally
uGNGhAA' succeeds In driving good
men out Of the offices he fills with igno-
BILE ones.
Troy Times (Pop): Did you ever no.
tice what slaves our school teachers are?
They work for the socialistic public
schools.
Beloit Call: If the sun had no other
duty to perform than to shine on the
good 1t would not have to rise so early
in the morning.
Sedan Lance (Pop.): 1t is as big a
crime for an official to steal from mu-
nicipality as 1t is for one Individual to
steal from another.
Sterling Bulletin: A history of Ameri-
can wars could not be written without
the name Of Lee occupying a prominent
place on most Of its pages.
Cottonwood Falls Leader: If lies were
dollars, more than the wealth Of the
world would be represented in those told
about the work and report Of the Maine
board Of inquiry.
Scammon Miner (Dem.): One mans
personal liberty" ceases where 1t con-
ficts with the Nights Of another. Hence,
no one has right to indulge in any act
or practice which would engender suffer-
ing in the life Of another.
Parsons Palladium (Dem.): Anything
less than the independence Of Cuba this
time will mean repetition of the pres
ent crisis at future day, and probably
complicated with the i'll will OF some
other country than Spain.
Yates Center Advocate (Pop.): The
Supreme court by a one man (change
Of mind) vote kindly relieved the in
comes Of the wealthy from participation
in the burdens of war in the event Of
an armed conflict with Spain.
Medicine Lodge Index: Even the Re-
publican papers of Oklahoma are roast
ing the Republican members Of Congress
for defeating free homes. The Repub-
lican party must be getting rotten in
deed when Its own papers do the roast
ing act.
Medicine Lodge Index: The conten-
tion Of Populists is that all men should
have equal opportunities. If man fails
to improve his opportunities that is the
fault Of the individual, not of the gov
eminent. But so long as the govern
ment diScriminates between classes Op-
portunities cannot be said to be equal.
New York World: The fact that the
business Of politics and the business Of
banking do not mix has been illustrated
anew in the failure of the Peoples bank
~ DbA1ndolnhio a hon1y nns-
ganized on basis Of political deposits
and influence 1t Is costly lesson on
the necessity OF keeping politics out of
banls-and of keeping banks out of pol
tiles.
Independence Star and Kansan (POp.):
The fewer Indians we have in this Coun-
try the more 1t costs to keep them. In
1881 the Indian appropriations were $4,-
500 900 and now they are $1,000, 900. You
needn't imagine the Indians are any
better cared for, either. It's the con-
tractors and parasites who are prohting
by this prodigality.
w. J. Bryan: The principle Of the
initiative and referendum Is democratic.
It will not be opposed by any Democrat
who endorses the declaration of Jeffer-
son, that the people are capable of self
government, nor will it be opposed by
any Republican who holds to- Lincoln's
idea that this should be a government of
the people, by the people and for the
people.
CimarrOn Jacksonian: It is childish
to envy a competitor. Get up and hustle
and show him you are "in the SWIM"
Show your grit. Don't get soured and
pout. This earth was made big enough
for all. Nobody has a monopoly on the
sunshine It shines for all. Don't stand
shlvering In the shadow whlmpering for
sympathy. A man who is too lazy to
hustle ought to ge' left In the race for
business.
Neodesha Register: 'It Is said" says
the coWardly tattler and scandal-mOnger
