The man who leaves the Populist
party to join the Socialists has simply
taken a step forward. He is going
from good to better. 1t shows that
there is something of worth about him.
1t shows that he has high ideal and
will always be found pressing forward.
But when man leaves the Populist
party to 60 to either of the old parties
it shows that the tendency of his mind
and life is backward and downward.
He is like the ''dog that turns to bis
yomit, and like the SOW that was wash
ed, to the mire." His case is almost
without hope. There is no redemption
for him. "For 1t is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were
made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and
have tasted the good word of God, and
the powers of the world to come, if
they shall fall away, to renew them
again unto repentance; seeing they to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and
put him to an open shame. '-Living

CONDITIONS change with the times.
A constitution that served the people
fifty and one hundred years ago will
not do it now. 1t is sadly in need of
alteration and amendment if the nation
and its people would be free and pro-
gressive. 1t makes our public servants
kings and the masses slaves. Legisla-
tors fix their own salaries and are al.
most absolutely independent of the PEG.
pie il all matters of legislation. And
finally, supreme court composed of
nine men-just ordinary men-slt in
judgment over the destinies of the peo-
pie. Worse than that; one of these
nine men can turn the scale hither or
thither. Be candid, reader, do YOU not
think the constitution needs alteration?

WE do not believe any republican
who is the least informed will say that
Sam Adams is not qualified to dis
charge the duties of the Office or
clerk of the district court. But if there
are any such, we would respectfully re-
quest them to examine his clerical work
during the two years that he was trus-
tee of this township. The man who
says that Mr.. Adams is not qualified is
not only guilty of giving currency to q
talsehood but he is also dong his friend
and neighbor a personal Injustice. On
his strength Of character and high in
tegrity there is no question and it is
with no little qualification that we are
able to say that this fact is conceded by
his most bitter political enemy. Every
voter in Barber county can support Mr..
Adams without remorse of conscience.

IT would be useless for this or any
other paper to plead with those Popu-
lists liz any such there bel who have de-
termined to vote the republican ticket
or any portion thereof. If you have
finally concluded to take this step, it is
your right and your privilege. But,
mark you, the day is coming when you
will regret it. If you are at heart q
Populist you are only hurting yourself
by voting against your political prlnci-
pies. We have all due respect for that
Populist who feels satisfied that man,
even though he be on his own party
ticket, is unworthy, and refuses to sup
port him. But when he refuses to list
en- to argument AID boldly declares that
he will vote the republican ticket. our
respect ceases. We hope there is none
such in Barber county.

THOSE anxious republicans who are
circulating report that certain Popu-
list candidates will withdraw from the
ticket, might as well devote their time
and attention to more valuable and
honorable pursuits. The PopuIist can
didates are on that ticket to stay and
everyone of them will be elected by q
good majority. 1t is not strange that
republicans would like to see them

You elect congressman He goes to Washington

petition there would be escapes it would not find
final resting place in the congressional waste basket
but it would go through congress sure as the sun
rises and sets. But it would not yet become law.
Itwould next be referred back to the people and if
majority of the people vote for it. it would become
law; otherwise it would not. This would be actual
direct legislation. Public officers would be public
servants and the creature would again take his place
below the creator. Until this system prevails you

The Popusts nominated Sam Adams for clerk of
the district court because they knew that he is
fectly competent to fill the Office and for the further
reason that he has the confidence and respect of
erybody. Some politicians at this time endeavor.
to make it appear that he is incompetent because he
depends principally day labor for the support of
himself and family, but that thing has long since
been worn thread-bare. Mr. Adams has served this
IN the f OF Two and has
economy not be surpassed. Republicans, demo
Gratis and Populists alike concede this to be fact.
Sam is poor man-the same as most of us-and is
not an oiceseeker in any But his party recog
nzed the fact that he is especially fitted for the Office
and can make campaign second to none in the coun-
ty For this reason the convention saw fit to nomi-
nate him by reclamation and without opposition
