Kansas City Times: Senator Harris
made great fight to protect the gov
ernment from the money vultures of
New York, and Kansas Is proud of him.
Kansas City Star: The Usage Indians
are talking OF selling out and going to
Mexico. Possibly 1t is a scheme to get
rid of the Kansas politicians who hold
them up at Washington.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep.) The
WestmOreland bank that thought 1t could
monkey with Breidenthal like the sa-
looms do with Leedy knows better now.
It's charter has been revoked and 1t Is out
of business now.
Plttsburg Kansan (POp): Kansas, II
war does come, will be found first to the
front The ''repudiators" will be in the
battles van, when the honest (?) men
Of Wall street are concealed behind for
eign passports. Paste this In your hat
Philllpsburg Dispatch (Rep.): Webb
McNall has sacrificed his political prin-
ciples but he should have credit for the
fight he is making for the people as
against the insurance companies, regard
less of what his politics are or whether
he has any or not.
Blue Mound Searchllght (Pop): The
Standard has lifted to its masthead the
name OF John w. Poore as It's choice as
candidate for Congress The boys are
all falling into line, and by the time the
convention conVenes Linn County's brill
liant young orator will be the only man
considered.
Topeka Capital (Rep.): Regent Mum
ger has ben visiting the Michigan Agri-
cultural college for some time past with
a view OF introducing any new and i'm
proving features he may obtain. Though
new member Of the board, he is a man
Of wide experience and sterling worth,
both OF which are freely used in promot-
ing the welfare Of Kansas youth.
Lacrosse Chieftaln (Pop.): There Is
only one thing sacred in Kansas politics
that Is the right of home candidate
to the delegates to State or Congress
siOnal convention. The Oldest politi-
clan In the State, no matter how badly
he wants to support friend away from
home, lays down when a home man
comes out. 1t is fine principle and the
one principle which has survived all the
nleanness Of politics.
Kansas City Times (Dem.): The Usage
County Chronicle man has flts because he
saw six carloads Of penitentiary coal
IN the yards at Topeka few days ago.
The coal was for the State house, and not
q P0pulist State officer had q pound of
il sent to his own residence. Repub-
llcan State officers not only burned peni-
tentiary coal at the State house, but
burned II In their own homes, and never
paid cent for 1t. A denial OF this fact
by the Usage County Chronicle will be
promptly met and proof submitted.
What does the gentleman say?
Wellington Voice (Pop.): We hope
che POpulist State convention will not
he called for June. That month, Of all
others, Is the one In which farmers can
not be spared from their fields. The date
proposed, June 20, will be right in the
midst OF harvest and not one farmer in
titty could attend. The professional pol
ltlcians and flxers could be sure to have
their way on any proposition that might
arise. The farmer Is the balance wheel
of the Populist party and is entitled to be
heard. Any effort to get rid OF his in
huence In convention will recon on the
heads OF the men who take advantage Of
him at the polls Go slow, gentlemen;
don't do 1t.
Maj. J. X. Hudson; In diplomacy,
which Is polite term for artistic lying
and the deceit practiced among nations
Tor advantages to be gained, Spain has

ilon. The bond brokers Of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia and other cities
demand peace in the interest of specu-
latl0n, and the politicians are against a
war policy for fear 1t will destroy the
prosperity" upon which their reelection
depends, and thus the Republican party
shat many Of us live and work for ev-
eHy campaign stands like an imbecile
