THERE is something pursuing the
editor of the Cresset which, if not halt
ed, will drive him mad. Banquo's ghost
isn't in it with this specter that Is on
Luther's trail. One week the socialists
are the cause of his troubles another
week it is something else. Last week
he claimed to have unearthed a deep
laid political plot-a secret organiza-
tion-which he says is 1.-The Patriotic
Order of X" This organization, he
says, is another old alliance scheme;
meetings are held behind closed doors
and the republican party is much abus
ed. Poor fellow! if the people don't
quit doing their thinking he never will
be big political gun and we are quite
sure that in that awful event the world
would retrograde. The order X may
exist and it may cot, but if 1T does it
cannot do anything worse than enlight-
en- the people and bury the republican
party. But, of course, such condition
is to be deplored by all who value par
tisan prejudice more highly than good
government.

enough confidence to eat! Then this
donkey is such discerning critter. He

pie who have showed the state along,
who are still doing it, and who will con-
tinue to do it," And yet there is no

people living in Colorado haye had
nothing to do with developing her, oh

FRESH from Washington, the nasti-
est carbuncle on the neck of the Amer
lean republic, comes the news that the
u. S. supreme court will soon get itself
together and announce that all maxi
mum freight laws are unconstitutional
The particular case in issue before that
august tribunal is the Nebraska law
passed by the legislature of that state
abO4t year ago. In common justice
it would seem that decisions are not
announced before they are made but
a different precedent seems to have
been established. The custom these
days seems to be to poll the supreme
court before the case is made so that
the corporations know just how to pro-
coed to cause the stubborn justices to
flop over to the side of capital. The g.
S. supreme court has practically be-
come an absolute despot in the United
States. 1t has come to the critical stage
when five men can sell the republic at
will and deliver seventy millions of peo-
pie into bondage. This could be avert
ed by abolIshing sthe life tenure and
making federal judges elective, or, bet.
ter yet, abolish federal courts entirely
They have become nothing less than
engines of oppression by the means OF
which capitalists squeeze the life sub
stance out of the masses.

THERE are many farmers in
Barber county who have paid
as much interest, and in some
cases more, on their mortgag-
es than the face value of the
principal. Seyenty-five per
cent. of those who have lost
their homes would own them
today, unincumoered, if inter
est rates had been reasonable.
High interest rates have been
a curse to the masses from
the earliest period in history
up to thepresent time. And,
if not soon abolished, will re-
duce the number of land own
ers to very small figure and
increase the number Of ten

ISN'T all this talk about

There is no weak place on
