PEOPLE ARE WITH M'NALL.

The Mcpherson Freeman, one of
the leading Republican papers of
central Kansas, states some plain
truths to the members of that party
in Kansas touching the fight the in
surance companies are making on
superintendent Webb McNall. The
Freeman is evidently opposed to the
league entered into between the
foreign insurance companies and the
Republican leaders, organized for
the purpose of still robbing the peo-
pie of Kansas. The Freeman says:
"The people are with McNall. The Re
publican party has got to offer the people
something better on the line of controlling
insurance companies than McNall has
given us, or they might as well keep still
concerning McNall's record. The people
of this state were charged extortionate
rates for insurance for years. and, in many
instances, were never paid for honest losses
and forced to litigate for many others. and
it was long while before we got relief.
But as soon as insurance companies begin
to get q dose of their own medicine, some
fool Republican rushes to the rescue and
wants to make the complaint of the COM
pany acampaign issue.

SENATOR Harris, Congressman Bot
kin, Auditor Morris, Secretary of
State Bush, Chief Justice Doster and
Chairman Taylor Riddle all have sons
in the service of the government in the
army. Lieutenant Governor Harvey
is also in the service. Not one of the
Republican candidates for state office
or for Congress were in the service In
the late war and not one sent a son to
the front. Yet the republicans are
trying TO monopolize the credit for de-
feating Spain and in addition they
have the nerve to talk about their pa
triotism IN manner which would tend
to lead to the belief that they were the
only people that had spark of patri-
otism in their makeup.

THERE seems to be no doubt as to
the policy of republicans in this cam
paign. They are determined to evade
all of the issues Of the campaign and
divert the attention of the people to
things which are calculated to lead
opposition voters to remain away from
the polls. It is openly admitted by
their leaders that the Popullsts and
democrats have more votes than the
republican party has in the state but
that they cannot get their vote out
and that the republicans will manage
to win. 1t remains to be seen whether
Populists Will give the republicans the
opportunity to resume their old meth
DDS of state government which have
brought the party into such bad repute
in Kansas.

Nall is right, is that the insurance compan-
les are bowling and asking the United
States court, and not our own courts, for
protection. Let them howl awhile, 1t will
do them good. They will probably learn
that the best way to get protection is to
treat the people right. They have been
confining their generosity to insurance
committees of the house and senate for
twenty years, and they have pigeon-holed
many bills introduced in the legislature
for the peoples relief. Let the Republican
party go McNall one better, and not only
state, but give us an actual reduction in

that the election of Stanley as govern

old regime, when the insurance COM

the first, and then when a citizen of
Kansas sustains a loss and is com

Unable financially, to cope with these
wealthy corporations, the average,
citizen will have to take what they
offer him Webb McNall is the only
superintendent who has stood be-
tween the people and downright rob-
berry, and the only way to retain him
is for the people to cast their votes
for Governor Leedy. A vote for
Stanley is vote against McNall-a

to again engage in the business of

The Morrill, administration spent
$494 900 more than they collected.
The Leedy administration has collect

FLETCHER Meredith, ex-representa-

Herald, has declared in public inter-
views that he will not support Stanley
or Chester l. Long. He is an old re-
publican war horse having given years
OF service to the party but he is unable
to take the dose which has been fixed
up for him this year. He is not by
any manner of means alone in the
fight.

The man who meets with failure is
immediately criticized for not know

plishing what he had undertaken.
But he who succeeds and all regard
less Of the circumstances in either
case-is exalted to the skies and
praised for undertaking what it SEEM
ed at the time no one could accom-
plish. 1t is the hope of self ag-
grandisement that prompts us to
praise the victor, and not the van
quished. 1t is unjust, unkind and
selfish. The full, well rounded out
man or woman is above it.

WHEN the record is made up it will
appear that there has been more work
done for given amount of money in
the state house during the last two
years than during any two years in
the history of the state. There is
more to show for the expenditure of
money than has ever been shown in
the past. The contracts have been let
honestly and good work has been re-
quired and given. This is IN marked
contrast to the results shown by the
last set of state rtlice;s whose record
in this matter is wei understood by
the people.

The Populist state committee has
been unfortunate in the work of hand
ling it's speakers this year. Early in
the campaign Attorney General
Boyle was taken sick. He has been
in bed twice since. Then Governor
Leedy was similarly afflicted. A
few days later Congressman Botkin
was compelled to withdraw from the
campaign on account of the sickness
of his soldier son. About that time
Senator Harris was called to New
York to attend at the sick bed of his
soldier son. And now Webb McNall
has been compelled to return to his
home in responce to call to the bed
side of his aged father who is very
sick. These are the five speakers
who are greatly in demand this year.
The meetings at which the people
were disappointed have been numer-
Gus. The condition has been unfor-
tunate but it could not have been
helped. The reports from all parts
of the state indicate that it has not
been injurious to the cause.and that
if the voter gets to the polls the Peo.
pies Party will easily win this year.

THE election of the Republican
congressman this year means aid
and comfort as we'll as support for
the bankers plan of concentration of
banking interest with all its power
into the hands of one central organ
ization. 1t means the delay in the
establishment Of postal savings
banks. 1t means no attention is to
be given to the old soldier and that
the policy of curtailing the pensions
of soldiers which was persistently
adhered to in the last congress is to
he continued. 1t means that there
will be no inning for common peo-
pie but that they will be given
no attention. The election of the
Populist candidates for congress
means victory for the people to
be followed by legislation in their
interest.

The Populist state officers demon
strated last week that they are deter
mined that the interests of the state
shall be cared for. A contract was
let some time ago to a firm to lay
asphalt walks around the state house
grounds. The contract provided for
the construction of first class walks.
The work is now completed but is
not such as the contract provides
for and the Executive Council after
being satisfied on this point, refused
to pay the contractors until such time
as the work is done as the contract
provides. AS in all other things the
present officers are guarding the tax
payers interests. 1t is for this reason
that the vast majority of the taxpayers
and property owners of the state are
supporting Governor Leedy and his
associates in this campaign.

The initiative simply means thai
certain percentage of the voters hava
the right to propose law to be voted
on by the people, just as new party
in Kansas has the right to petition
that its ticket be placed on the official
ballot SO that the people may vote OH
its principles. The referendum simp-
ly means that a certain percentage of
the voters have right to d:mand that
a law be passed by the legislative
body shall be submitted to the people
for their approval or rejection. The
initiative and referendum would give
the people the means of Kidding them
selves of boss rule and boodling if
they so desired. If they were content
with bossism they would not be oblig-
ed to overthrow it. But as our sys-
tenn now is the people do not have the
lance with which to unhorse tho boss
no matter how much they may loathe
him. Ne1U3.

The Bows Of the Farm.

An ideal farm is an ideal place tor
boys. In fact, farms which are far
from ideal are generally better
places for boys to live than in towns
and cities. No doubt some boy or
young man will say, after reading
this. that the writer is generally
mistaken. But history and obser
Yation prove very conclusiyely the
truthfulness of the above assertion.
1t is the farm boys that come to
the front. Most great men were
raised in the country. There is
something about rural life that de-
velops the best there are in a boy.
He makes a solid growth mentally
and physically. All nature invites
his study and meditation, and the
thousands of interesting things
which are seen about him every day
teach the boy to be observing,
which is a most valuable acquisl-
ton in any calling. 1t is wonderful
how much a country boy knows
about the things of the country,
And if he goes to town or city only
d snort time is required to become
familiar with t.c new environments
Nearly all country boys a'e
taught to work aud be useful. This
cannot be said Of great many
town and city boys, A few months
ago we watched lad of fourteen
do practically everything on a farm
that is done with team If horses
He narrowed, operated the mower
and reaper and was the regular
teamster. The boy was happy in
his work, too. He felt that he was
OF some account. This work will
make him a man. 1t is preparing
