Some Pertinent Questions that can
all be Answered with one 7epIy,

Why is it that in Ellsworth and it's sub
urbs, with combined population of over
5000, there is only one manufacturer Of
medicinal preparations who gives state
ments from residents to back up its repre-
sensations?
Why is it that Doans Kidney Pills and
Doan's Ointment do this in Ellsworth as
well as in every other city and town OF
any Importance in the Union?
Why is it that there are advertised in
every newspaper dozen remedies and
only two can supply local proof, local en-
dorsation of their claims?
The solution of the problem is simple.
Only two remedies have the curing and
the staying power. Other remedies make
all kinds of gigantic yet futile efforts to get
local proof, but the attempt ends IN pro-
ducing statement or two from places
that, as far as Ellsworth is concerned
might as well be in the moon. Here is
Ellsworth proof which backs up the
merits of Doan's Ointment.

THE republican press of the state
has objected to the manner in which
Governor Leedy spent his contingent
fund, the Objectionable point being
the $1,000 paid David Martin and
David OTeFmeyeF for their assistance
In the insurance cases against HcNali
in the federal courts, and in the stock
yards, scrip and screen cases. 1t IS
true that governor L6edy spent the
entire appropriation made, but it is
also true that governor MOFrin spent
his; the difference being that COVER
nor LeSdy spent his to enforce the
law, while Morrill, spent his to uDseR6
pOpuugtS whose terms had not eX-
pired In order that some republicans
might have their places MOrrill
used s., 269 from his contingent fund
to get ex-senator Rodgers, a regent
Of the University, out Of office IA order
that j. r. BurtOns law partner might
have that place, a little 500 per
annUm job. This together with 9th
CT amounts spent In the same
manner, exhausted his fund and he
was compelled to ask the legislature
for an appropriation Of $1,000 to pay
the costs In the Rodgers case.
Morrill, paid S2,O2S out Of his con
tingent fund TO secure the removal
state Board Of Charities and had to
call upon the legislature again for q
deficiency appropriation Of $50.
1t viii be seen from this showing
that the last republican administra-
ton thought it wise to spend about
s.. 900 to secure the unexpired portions
OF the terms Of Office OF a few pOpu-
lists, and vet they CritiCise
governor Leedyf for spending g, 900 to
secure the enforcement Of the laws
governing insurance. the stOckyards,
and the mining industries. Cover
nor Morrill, paid out OF his cOntin-

move JOHN Briedenthal from the

grass republican for his services IN

date for secretary Of state on the re-
publican ticket IN the suit brought
against him BY Mrs. Lease which
grew out Of her removal from the

The next chapter, page 457, IS an
act providing for the assessment and
taxation of the property Oftelegraph
and telephone companies, another
class Of property amounting to many
thousand dollars that has escaped
taxation until the Peoples Party
came into power This was a law
passed making the property Of these
corporations bear their Just proper
ton OF the taxes. Why did not the
Republicans pass such a laW2 Be
cause these corporations were their
friends.
THE BANKING Law.
Everywhere today there Is moth
ing but good words for the banking
law passed by the last legislature
(See page 9S). Drawn by a POpulist
bank commissioner, John W. Bret
denthaI and passed by q POpulist
legislature it has brought the bank
ing interests Of the state under con-
troll and added to the security Of
every man or woman who has dol
lar on deposit.
GRAIN INSPECTION LAW.
Every farmer in the state who has
had grain to ship has protested In
the past against the system whereby
his grain was inspected and weighed
not by disinterested parties but un-
der the direction Of the boards Of
trade and grain gamblers. Thefarm-
ers could get no relief however until
the Peoples Party legislation came
into power when by one stroke (See
page 306) this power was taken
away from the boards Of trade and
vested IN the state where it belonged.
STOCK SHIPPERS LAW.
The small farmer who has but a
single load Of cattle or hogs often
feels that It would be to his interest
to market his stock himself but the
railroad companies put up q bar
against the small shipper by refusing
return transportation to the shipper
Of q single car Of stock. This inius-
tice the last legislature corrected by
requiring railroads to furnish return
transportation to all shippers thus
putting the small farmer on the same
basis with the heavy shipper. (See
page 355-)
ANTITRUST LAW.
An effort was made by the last
Legislature TO check the inrOads
the trust system is making and a law
was passed prohibiting the fOrma-
ton Of such institutions in the state
Of Kansas and providing penalties
for violation Of the same.
FEES AND SALARIES LAWS.
Three laws were passed by the last
legislature directed against the sys-
TEN Of fees and salaries The first
one, page 273, reduced the fees and
salaries Of county officials and COM
pei a record Of all fees collected. The
second, page 215, put the Clerk Of the
Supreme Court on a salary and re-
quired him to account to the State for
all fees collected. The third, page,
201, required the Clerks Of Appellate
Courts to account for the fees they
collect.
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Among the beneficial laws passed
by the legislation was the act
authorizing cities to obtain gas
light, electric lights, electric power,
water or heat either by purchase or
construction (see page 16). This
viii enable cities to own their own
public utilities and is a great step

THE STOCK YARDS AND SCHOOL
BOOK LAW.
The story of the stock yards and
school book law have been told I'm
detail and It Is useless TO repeat it
here. The most powerful lobby that
ever attended a Kansas Legislature
was on hand to prevent the passage
Of these two important acts. The
cooperation Of the Republican mi
nOrity IN each house was assured
from the start and every effort was
made to corrupt enough POpulist
members to make the Republican mi
nOrity majority, but they failed ut
teFly and the people Of Kansas today
are reaping the benefits of these
wholesome POpulist measures.
LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
A faYOTite charge which is being
continually reiterated by the Repub-
Hcan press is that the legislature was
extravaganza, that the legislative
halls were 6lled with a horde of un-
necessary employees, and that public
money was reckieSsiy Squandered.
The facts are shown by the state
auditors books There a record Of
the money drawn and the names Of
These records show that I'm 1895 the
Republican legislature had 335 en-
plOyees, 204 Of whom were on ths
house payroll and 13I on that Of the
senate. In 1897, with both houses
controlled by POpulists, the HOUSE.
payroll contained 112 names, and
the senRte's IS, making a total Of2OO,
which was 135 less than in 1895.
il the legislature Of 1897 had a lot
OF useless employees, what about tbs
Republican army Of employees In
1895?
Now, as to the actual money paid
out at each session. In 1895, the
total payments Of legislative ex-
penses were $50, 229 Al, while IN 1897,
So, O20.IO was paid out When
figures on legislative expenditures
are made it should be borne in mind
that the salary and mileage Of men,
bers is fixed by constitutional enact
ment, and Is therefore a matter over
which the members have no control.
If the amounts paid for this purpose
are deducted, the remainder viii
show the amount expended over
which the legislature did have direct
control. No compilation of the
amounts drawn for salary and mile
age by members of the 1897 legisla-
ture has yet been made, but in 1895
the amount drawn for this purpose
was S36, 32T. The number of mem
bers and of the district remain IN
changed from year to year, so that
the salary and mileage account can
not vary much 1t Is reasonable to
assume that the 1895 figures are a
fair average. Deducting S36, 327 from
SS6, 292.47 it appears that in 1895 S49,-
965.17 was expended over which the
members had control The deduc-
ton of the same amount from
So, 029.1O shows that in 1897 the
amount was $50, 701.SO
The 1895 legislature Republican,,
which was in session 60 days, cost
SS32.75 per day, while the 1897 legis-
lature (POpulist), which continued
for g. days, cost 1851. "a per day,
showing an actual saving Of S27491
for each and every day of the session.
In the matter of daily expense, the
POpulist cost was a few cents less
than 81 where the Republicans spent
s..
