Done for the Soldiers Orphans Home.
The Republicans have been eOntin-

that the Peoples party officials were

could not manage the affairs OF the
state. Here is a sample of the way

the Peoples party officials. The form

The following was taken from a Re
publican paper the AtchisOn Daily
Globe.
There is a good deal in having a
practical sort of a man in a state in
stiCUUiOn. For some time the state
board Of charities has been looking
at the timber land east Of the Sold
iers' Orphans home, calculating how
much it would cost to haveit cleared.
A few months ago, Major Wood
worth, superintendent OF the home,
quietly went to work, and got a
man to clear it on the shares, and
now has 400 cords of wood piled up
for winter. In addition TO the work
costing the state nothing, the home
is supplied with enough fuel to last
al winter. In the year ending in
June, the expense of running the
home was reduced S25 per capita,
and this sum will be steadily de-
creased in future years.
The decrease in expenses was made
at the time the home put in its own
wateTwOrkS, and made other costly
improvements There are now 2Il

Kansas City Saturday, and three
from Winfield and two more are eX-

The health at the home is one Of tn

11oNALL HAS REDUCED RATES.

The latest move Of the Republican
campaign managers Is to cry that
Webb McNall is a fake and that there
has been no reduction in insurance
rates. Here are a few samples of re-
auctions in rates at Hiawatha:
LEVI OGLE-My insurance is So less
this year than it was last ON the
same sized policy. 7 consider that
AIcNall with his fight has saved me
just that much money.
W. O. NOBLE-Last year I paid a
rate OF S1.O5 on my building. This
year the rate is 80 cents. You can
figure the per cent reduction your
self
W. NJ. SAuTH-There has been a
reduction Of 10 per cent on my stock
OF groceries.
ANDREW ANNION-I am carving
lust the same amount of insurance
ON my elevator aud stock this year
that I did last and it * costing me
$50 less. That is what Mr.. McNaH
has done for me. If any man in Hia-
watha is paying as high rates this
year as he did last it is because he
has not demanded a reduction and
he has no one but himself to blame
GRANT W HARRTSGTON-The last
time [ insured my house the agent
charged me S1-25 a thousand. He
renewed the policy three months ago
at Sl.O0 per thousand
ADAM SCHILLISG-I told the agent
this year that 1 would not pay the
old rate and he rewrOte my policies
for fifteen cents a hundred less. Since
than another agent has offered to
write me at a reduction Of five cents
more.
HILL BROs-Last year we paid
$1,000 a thousand This year it Is
S12-5O.
MCFADDEN & EICHOLTz-Our rate
has come down from $500 a hundred
to $I-25.
GEORGE H. ADANIs-When it was
announced that McNall had made
war on the Garrison rate Tdetermin-
ed to test the matter. I demanded
what I thought was a fair rate on
my buildings and after some delay
the agent accepted my terms I con
slider the McNall fight responsible for
the very material reduction that I
secured.
These are only a few men in Hia-
Watha who have prOGted by the Nc
Nall fight. A number OF others
whom we interview announced that
their policies had not been rewritten
vet, but when they were there would
be a reduction or they would know
the reason why. All agree that the
fight McNaIl has been making has
brought q material saving to them

LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS
The Republicans have q clear ma
5Ority OF more than 50 in the house.
The minority made repeated efforts to
induce Speaker Reed to appoint the
committees. especially the invalid pen
sion committee, during the extra ses-
sion a year ago This he refused to do
until the last hour, and was sustained
by all Republican members Four and
a half months were spent chiefly in
fdleness, while 1000 or 5000 private
pension bills accumulated. Congress
met on the first Monday in Decent Der.
The chairman OF the invalid pensions
committee did not call that committee
together until the latter part Of Jan
uary. The committee is composed Of
10 Republicans, 2 Democrats and 2
POpulists. The chairman holds all
pension bills under lock and KEY and
presents to the committee only those
he wishes considered. He carries out
Mr. Reeds well known policy Of CD
position to pensions. Only about
500 private pension bills out Of about
5000 have been considered by this
committee and placed on the house
calendar. and most Of these were
sensre bills.
These 500 proved as many as the
House could find time to consider al
though it has during this term been IT

Do you ask Thy so many FRIDAY

record that Messrs. Dingley. Payne
Dalzelle or some other Republican
leader. was accustomed 70 arise IT
his place on Thursday afternoon and
moving that when the House adjourn
it adjourn to Monday. It is matter OF
record that the minority members al

while all the Republican members al
ways voted for It. and. being in the
majority, carried it, thus knocking oUt
the Friday night pension session. Il
viii thus be seen that the dastardly
pension policy Of the President and his
Commissioner parvades Congress itself
Commissioner Evans in a magazine
article for August predicts that 'fu-
ture legislation by Congress viii re
strict rather than facilitate the grant
ing Of pensions" As he speaks for the
Republican party the old soldiers may
know what to expect in future from
that party
In contrast to this policy we point

The Republican party has got to
offer the people something better on
the line of controlling Insurance Com
panies than McNall has given us or
they might as well keep still concern
ing McNal'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
Tor many others and it was a long
while before we got relief. But as
soon as the Insurance Companies be
gin to get a dose of their own medi-
cine, some fool Republican Tushes TO
their rescue and wants to make the
complaint of the Insurance Company
a campaign issue. The best evidence
to many people that McNall is right,
is that the Insurance Companies are
no wiling and asking the United States
court, and not our state court for
protection. Let them howl a while,
It viii do them good. They viii
probably learn that the best way to
yet protection is to treat the people
right. They have been combining
their generosity to the Insurance
committees Of the House and Senate
Tor twenty years and piEeOn-hOIed
many bill for the peoples relief.
Let the Republican party 20 McNal
one better, and not only drive rotten
Insurance Companies out of the state
but give us an actual reduction in
