trust the old soldiers will take an active

children will, no doubt, lend a helping
hand. as John A. Martin was their friend.
Public speakers and ministers can aid
greatly by each one delivering one or more
lectures and donating the net proceeds to
this cause. In short, let everybody help.

Topeka. Kas., Jan. 25.-(Special.) c. P.
Judd, of Hoxie, Kas., a "reformer'' who
signs himself professor" with a rubber
stamp, has organized a new political party
under the name of the Cheerful Peasants
Association" The mission of this new party
is to assist what he calls the labor fam
ily'' in escaping the oppression Of capital
lists and plutocratic corporations. He has
also started an official publication for the
order under the name Cheerful Peasant"
The first paper has made its appearance,
and this is the manner in which the pro
fessor' saluteS the public:
w nave long looked, hoped and indus
triously prayed for a practical reform of
this old, rotten. corrupt system of wrong,
robbery and oppression. We are deeper in
the mire of degradation to-day than when

exercised by capital, October 10. 1915. Since
then I have studied the labor question con-
stantly. and l find but one outlet-co-action

II have endured the hog-wash of alleged
statesmen as long as / can or will, and 1
now deliberately denounce the lot as I'M
worthy of my attention.
II wash my hands in rivers of innocent
blood. then dry them in the smoke Of burn

THEY HELD UP THE BREWERS.
Thus Was n Bond of sympathy Gre
nted Between Chairman Enster-
wood and Chief Qunrles.

The Populists of Kansas City, kas.. who
are opposing Chief of Police Quarles
claim they have discovered why Chairman
sasterwood. OF the county central COM
mittce, deserted his friends who elected
lin chairman and enlisted in the Quarles
cause. During the last campaign the Popu-
lists of Wyandotte county took advantage
OF being in power and proceeded to raise a
fat campaign fund. After touching every
body in the county who was not
il a position to protest. it was decided to
hold up the Kansas City. Mo-. brewers
fer campaign money. A committee, con-
Sisting of Chairman Easterwood. Chief
Cuarlcs and a member of the county CEN
tral committee, made 4 raid on the brew
erS. The success of this touching eXpe-
ditICn Is only known by a few.
Some time after the holdup tour Wa
maze, Chairman Easterwood was talking
with a crowd of ANTICIPATES men. The
ing back on his friends.
We'll, boys" said Mr.. E~asterwood, Il
know l was elected chairman of the CEN
trial committee as an ANTICIPATES Pop:
nut, fellows, / have discovered that Chief
Qrarles is a much abused man. If you
boys knew as much as ] do you would
quickly agree with me. Now. look here.
fellows. When we went over to Kansas
City. Mo-. to call on the brewers for the
purpose of talking over campaign matters,
elleye me, that man did not know the
location of but one brewery.
And the crowd smiled. winked the other
eye, and told the chairman that if the
Populist party did not perfect many great
reforms it would be no fault of George
Bellamy EasterwoGd, chairman of the
Wyardotte Populist county central com
mittee and supreme harmonizer of the
fusion forces of the great Kaw bottoms.
A member of the Populist central COM
raittee stated yesterday that a strong pro-
test was made against Members of the
committee participating in the campaign
hOldup on the ground 2that il left the
Populist organization in this county under
direct obligations to the brewers. How
ever. the chairman of the committee was
turning in the money thus secured it was
given TO the committee as personal con-
tributions from Chairman Easterwood. 1t
Is claimed that only a few of the commit
teemen know to-day that the money turned
in by the chairman for campaign pur-
poses was secured from corporations or
brewers.
