DURING the last Republican yea
at the Agricultural College the insti
tuition ran in debt about $1S, 900 90
The present management is livin,
within its means, and will not ask fo
any deficiency appropriations.
INSTEAD of tying to ruin the Stat,
Agricultural College, the Populis
management is endeavoring to built
it ur. 1t has added a dairy school
instruction in which will be of immens,
value to Kansas.
The Republican national admins
ton has at last departed from its tim,
honored policy, protection of home in
dnstries, at least in one respect. A
lo cent revenue stamp ls required OF

LEW HEADLEY of the GAYLORD
Herald says the Republicans oi
Kansas did some foolish things in
1899 for the party was dominated that
year by the worst gang of politica
shysteIs that any state was ever cursed
with. Lew is Republican and ought
to know.
IHE Populist ticket now before the
people stands for the school bool
law, the stock yarls law, the fees
and salary law, the grain inspection
law, and the state banking law. L
stands for the best effort ever put
forth for radical legislative control
of railway companies
Better Way
REPUBL CANS complain because
$3l 900 was paid by the state tc
David Martin and David Overmyel
for legal services in eleven insurance
cases, but say nothing about ex Chief
Justice Horton being paid So ,COC
for bis services in one case by the
company which ot cupied only a part
of three days.
DURING the last 25 years dollars
have practically doubled in value, j.
g. in purchasing power, owing to the
destruction of one balf the circulating
medium. If the process continues 25
years more g $1,000 bond bought
now will become a $4,000 boDd-an-
other special advantage of govern
ment bonds.
The Popul'sts of Kansas have sup
ported President Mckinley In his wal
policy but the papers representing his
party have persistently.. .misrepresente d
Gov. Leedy's course in organizing and
equipping the volunteers. Notwith-
standing this condition Populists are
c'ntinuiDg to act the part of patriot
and stand by the Lational government.
That old talk about I'VE freed you
and my father died in the war -
by white Republicans is growing more
rotten to us every campaign. 1t is
good enough to give all these things
complimentary notice, but if we
have any intelligence let us bring it
to the surface like an intelligent
white man. Proper consideration is
what we want to see and nothing
shorter than this will satisfy US. u
MORT ALBAUGH and lot of other
Republican editors who know better
are still saying that the Populist in
the l-gisl tture voted down the in.
iative aid referendum resolution. If
they know anything about the record
at all, they know that all of the Pop
ulis's in the legislature voted for this
resolution, but that failing to have a
two third vote in the house it did not
receive a majority under the consti-
tuition.
Ii greenbacks were good enough for
Abe Lincoln to put down the re-
bellion with, valid reason can
the present republican administra.
ton offer for issuing bonds to secure
revenue to carry on the war with
Spain? If McKinley's policy is
right, Lincoln's was wrong, and vice
versa. Which horn of the dilemma
will you take, republicans?-Gardsn
City Sentinel.
GOVERNOR Leedy was entirely non
partisan in the selection of military
oflicres. The opposition have openly
admitted this and praised him for
it. Nevertheless we occasionally
hear some ignorant, strongly, pref
udiced political opponent say that
he drew party lines. Will some one
please name Republican governor
who appointed single military Off
Ger that belonged to different polit-
ical party?
The war is not a party issue.
There is little difference of opinion
