whose finances have been better man
aged or which can show q cleaner rec
ord than the present POpulist admins
tration is making here in Kansas, let
us hear from it.
Atchison Globe: Railroad men often
abuse newspaper men for selling trans
portation. The Globe has lately heard
OF a Western road which regularly is
sued transportation in the name OF the
AtchisOn Globe, and sold 1t to brokers,
at reduced rates, to boom passenger
business and avoid its agreement with
the other roads not to cut rates It is
possible that brokers get hold of much
newspaper transportation" in the same
way and newspaper men are abused for
selling" it.
Beloit Call (Pop): If Reeder was not
a banker he would not be so bitterly
against the free coinage Of silver and so
eager for the retirement and destruction
of the greenbacks. Silver and green
backs are the producing classes best
friends The banker and usurer hate
silver and greenbacks as the devil does
holy water Bankers do not and can
not monOpOlize and control silver and
the greenbacks. No silver and green
back hater should go to Congress from
this district.
Pratt Union (Pop.); Some newspa-
pers in this State in their great anxiety
to abuse the soldier boys who have gone
to fight for the old flag will not even
allow Col. Ed Little to rest on his sick
bed in the hospital. If some of the edi-
tors who have allowed their narrow
souls to abuse the noble boys at the
front are not finally consigned to hot
box between two Spaniards in that cline
where "only Spanish will be spoken" for
the next decade, then they will never
get their just deserts. Let justice be
done unto them.
Russell Reformer: If the Populist con-
vention had been made up of or con-
trOlled by politicians, it might be in Or
der to charge that the metropolitan pO-
lice plank was adopted for political rea-
sons; but it is fact that men who are
prohibitionists voted for the resolution,
certainly not because they had gone back
on the prohibitOry law, but because they
had seen the uselessness Of attempting
to govern the liquor traffic by that sys-
tenn, and further, because they believed
that home rule was the best government
for the larger cities.
Council Grove Courier-Guard (Pop):
Have you read the Kansas Republican
platform? 1t has but one merit. It will
not be in any candidates way. 1t will
need no explanation. There is nothing
In it to explain. The party, If it should
be successful, can never be taken to task
for not fulfilling it's promises. 1t has
made none this year. 1t will make no
enemies among the Populists because it
doesn't even arraign the Leedy admins
tration on one specific charge. Are you
progressive? Do you believe in any
thing? Read the platform. See if it
embOdies your views.

PUBLIC OPINION .S


the authorities In Washington say they
need more money, we simply reply: "All
right; take all you want. Each one OF
us will pay his share" That is the
spirit Of the people. 1t Is the spirit OF
patriotism.
Pittsburg Kansan: This is not pa
ternal government, the Republicans say,
yet even in the war taxes 1t takes pre-
ciOus good care of the rich. Their in
comes are not taxed. The poor mans
stogie is taxed just as much as the
blOods rs cent cigar. The poor mans
check for $3.50 Is taxed just as much as
Rockefeller's million dollar check to
some church. The poor mans telegram
that mother Is dead is taxed as much
as Letters telegram to unload million
bushels of wheat on the stock market,
and so 1t goes. Oh, yes, there is nothing
paternal about free Americans!
Chicago Record: That country is de-
flCient in true patriotism In which there
is little patriotism save Of the military
type. All should be thrilled at the sight
Of soldiers marching to war in defense
Of a Just cause. But that does not COM
prehend the sum total Of patriotism
He is a patriot also who faithfully per-
forms the duties Of citizenship in order
that his country's government may be
strong, efficient and free from taint of
corruption. The spirit Of civic patriot
ism is as important to a country's per-
manent well-being as is the military
type Of patriotism. How many times in
tho hiqtOrV NJ tho World haUa nofiOne
fallen to pieces for the want of sufficient
virtue to keep their governments strong
and pure, when there was no lack of
fighters anxious to go against an out
side foe?

Wichita Commoner (Pop.): Accord
ing to predictions made by Republicans
two years ago, great calamities were to
befall Kansas if the Populists got charge
OF the State government. Does any one
know Of any Of those predictions that
have come true?
George Martin is one of the best men

Kansas is the only State in which there
