promising as before the storm.
There will be few apricots this year.

LONG HAS ANOTHER OPPONENT

It seems that there will be at least a
few thorns in Chester 1. Longs pathway.
Opposition to his denomination is
brooding in several of the most popu-
lous counties in the district. The lat
est is Professor E. l.. Hills, of Harvey
county, the safest republican strong
hold in the district. Harvey county
has been demanding the nomination
for some time and if she finally con-
cludes to 90 in for blood she will make
things mighty interesting for Mr. Long.
However, we still believe that Long
Will triumph; he has the gang behind
him. Speaking of Harvey county's
candidate, a recent number of the To-
poka State Journal says:
For the first time IN years Harvey
county has an aspirant for the congress
sional nomination. Professor E. L.
Hills of Sedgwick has announced that
he Will be candidate for the nomina-
ton for congress in the Seventh district
in opposition to Chester L. Long and O.
II. Bentley.
Professor Hills is we'll known inHar-
vey county and has established repu'
tation as a competent educator. He
practlced law for some years before
teaching and is we'll informed man.

f. ID. CoBURN, secretary of the state
board of agriculture last week annOunc-
ed his candidacy for governor subject
to the decision of the republican con.
vention, and most of the republican pa
pers have gone into Mysteries. Coburn
is generally regarded rs decent man
and not what is called "a politician. He
has host of friends among the masses
of republicans but is bitterly denounced
by the bosses and ring leaders. He
will not be nominated but his defeat
will estrange respectable number of
republican votes. This is the reason
why the republican papers are roaring
at his consenting to become a candi-
date.

Gov. PINGREE: 1.-THE American
people don't work for themselves.
Some of them think they do, but they
don't. They work to support rotten
nobility of Europe-to support titled
proaigates, who sell q name given their
ancestors by some savage chief of
warlike tribe. They sell the name to
the would-be royalty of the United
States in return for millions of surplus
wealth created neither by American
capitalist nor foreign prince, but the
working peOple-the common laborers
of North America. These working
people rot with disease. they starve in
garrets, they freeze on the highways.
while the result of their labor is reduc-
ed to sparkling drops Of champagne to
be drank by the registering rowdies of
the old world. Hence, say the Amer
lean people do not work for themselves
though some Of them think they do. y

THE Populists of Georgia have NOM
mated Hon. L. E. Watson for governor
over his protest. He may be elected
and he may not, but it is certain that
no ADLER man and no truer American
could hold public office. If all public
officers in this country were men of his
calibre there would be no corruption
and thievery in high places and corpo-
rate control of the necessities of life
would cease.

The Kansas City Star says the gov
eminent should own Its own mail cars,
that it is the only way to escape paying
the railroads an exorbitant price for
transporting the mails. This bold dec
laration from the Star comes with
great surprise. When POpulist papers
advocate such a wholesome measure
the big dailies call 1t communism. But,
no difference, it is a good suggestion
and it cannot be put into effect too
soon to suit the people.

LET US hope that when the time
comes to call another republican con-
vention that the big Four" will get
together and put up the job without
asking the country republicans to take
the trouble to come to town to witness

city to animals to compel the farmer
element of republicans to sit in the
same position so long to witness the
operation of the machine.

Poor Harry Glenn! Chester gave
him an ugly cash under the fifth rib
last summer in the postoffice fight and
to add to the injury the republicans of
KIowa endorsed Chester's act by send
ing the triumphant p. NJ. and his
friends to the county convention as del
egates. Through blind courtesy they
did put Harry on the delegation but
sheared him of his powers by instruct
ing a majority of the delegation to cast
the entire vote. Oh dar's no use tryin'
to buck de gang.

THE metropolitan police system of
Kansas has been an eye-sore to every
governor Kansas has ever had. The
law should have been repealed long
ago. No governor can regulate the po-

its own affairs.
