Justice.

EDITOR WORLD: The Independent
last week gave me a little dig just be-
cause called your attention TO the
state tax levies of the past eight
years, the last of which is the highest
of all. have no complaint TO offer
on this account but 1 do demonstrate
against the intolerable injustice of
the Independents attack upon Glen
HOar, and others, who are not now
factors in Trego county politics and
are not here to defend themselves.
Mr.. Hoar was the best clerk in every
respect this county has had before or
since and it has never been shown
that he took a single cent which the
law did not say he should have The
fees collected and retained by him
were collected and retained by the
officers of all other counties in the
state. The law says and still says
in so many plain words that they
should have these fees. He believed
that they were his because the law
said so. Everybody thought so and
there was no objection by the people
of the county. They did not arise
from the sale of any property belong
ing to the county. The county had
no right, title or interest in them
years after these fees were collected
and used; when the money had passed
from the control of the officers who
collected it, the Supreme court held
that the law did not mean what it
said and that these officers should not
paid salaries by their counties. Then
the PoDulists got control in Trego
county and simply for political effect
an effort was made to recover the fees
which had been collected years be-
fore. A quarter section of raw prairie
land was sqeeZed out of Glenn Hoar
for which the county now holds note
for S4OO. Il believe small part of
this has been paid
| No general attempt to recover these
fees was made in other counties prob
ably because no political advantage
was to be gained by it. An example
was made of Mr.. Hoar, not in the
name of justice-not because he had
ever taken a cent from any of his per-
secutors-but simply because they
thought and expected to make their
control of county politics permanent
by such tactics. So far as | am in
formed, no county officer in any other
county of the state was given such
treatment which, in my opinion, was
persecution of the most unjust kind.
These fees are still collected in this
county and no doubt would be still re-
tanned by the officers if they dared to
do so. The Independent still harps
about this great saving to the county
but there is no evidence that any OF
its editorial force would have done
differently from MIR. Hoar if given the
chance. This may be only half the
TRUTH but it is not jimjams and can
give several other reasons why L am
an Ex-POPULIsT.

In one of the suburban towns near the
capital lives % widow well endowed
with worldly goods, whose husband,
with q sort Of posthuZnous jealousy, has
guarded against her re-marriage by
providing that she shall lose all her
property if ever she takes another hus-
band. She has been receiving attentions
for several years from an elderly Grand
Army Of the Republic veteran. She has
been very good to him too. Once when
he wanted to parade with his comrades
she bought him an expensive blue suit
with brass bnttons on it. He wanted to
marry-her, but the will Of the selfish
dead man stood between. So after a
time he married somebody else. The
widow was broken hearted. She recalled
the suit with the brass buttons. She
recalled a hundred kindnesses shown
the old soldier. She bewailed his peril
dy to her friends.
"Why," said one of them, "what did
you expect? He wanted a wife to make
a homo for him. You couldn't marry
him. So why do you complaint
The widow wiped her eyes.
II know couldn't marry him." she
said. II didn't really want to marry
him anyway, but, you see, it was such
q heap of comfort to have a steady
beau. ''-Washington Post.
