A Word To Subscribers.

Many subscriptions to this paper will
expire before Jan. Ist and many are in ar
rears. Apaper fighting the cause of the
people honestly and earnestly as we are
trying to do, need hope for none of the

earnestly solicit a continuance of the lib

In the contest for economic indepen-
dence which must come through direct
legislation, government issue of money
and public ownership the most import
ant factor is everywhere recognised to be
the independent local press. This battle
we will wage without fear or favor or fall

Derby Hats For BIC

On page 81, vol. I, of the 18th annual
81 Labor Commissioner Carol D. Wright
will be found the statement that the aver
age time consumed in making a good
derby hat is 70 minutes, and that the cost
does not exceed 81 cents. This is good
Republican authority. If you are in
doubt about the truth of this statement
send and get the book. A postal card
will bring it. Similar statements equally
startling about the cost of other articles
will be found there. The hats sell for
s., who gets the S263? The actual
cost OF production of many common
articles is less than 10 per cent of
the retail price and still the trusts
arefor0ng the prices higher. For years
the profits of the retail dealers have been
growing less until they have been
nearly wiped out. 1t is not they, but
the trusts that now control every avenue
OF business that get this difference
between the cost of production and
the cost to the consumer. Are the
great body of American people, those
who consume and use these articles, a lot
OF spineless puppets to be mercilessly bled
and bilked by few scheming, cunning
millionaire trust magnates?' Or are they
men and will they assert their manhood
and demand justice and equal rights for
all I If they continue to vote the Repub-
lean ticket and play into the hands of
the +ten who are pluudering them; are
wheedled and coaxed and bought and
driven and ridiculed into standing by the
6. 0, P, they belong to the former class.
If they follow their convictions and Join
lanas against the common enemy they

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH DENIED.
A Tiayesty Upon Justice-JnO. P. Reese OF
Alba, Ia, Imprisoned For Talking
With Miners.

Federal Judge Williams has again
shown that he is plant tool of the cor
porauons, tyrant upon the bench. inc.
f'Keese OF Alba, la, .one of the eight MEN,
bers OF the national executive board of
the United Mine workers of America has
been among the miners of Southeast
Kansas urging organization and united
effort for higher wages. The Western
Coal and Mining Company, owned
principally by the Gould's, have been
having some trouble with its employees
owing to reduction of wages. Judge
Williams sitting at Fort Scott, at their
request issued an injunction, re-
lusing Reese the privilege of even
talking privately with these EN-
ployes. For refusing to obey this out
rageous order Reese was sentenced 10
pay 500 fine and to serve three months
in Jail where he now is. Reese declares
that if the sentence is carried out an
other member Of the board to which he
belongs will take up the work, and if he
Is sentenced another will follow until
Williams gets tired or public opinion is
aroused. 1t is to be hoped this will be
carried out. Reese is doing nothing
more than any man has a right to do.
Williams is violating his oath and the
If congress was not a
subservient tool of the corporations Will
liams would be impeached. The Goulds
must live in the palaces. Every effort on
the part of organized labor to maintain
an existence and obtain living wages
must be crushed out. Even the effort to
hold the price of mining coal up to the
pitiful price of so to 90 cents per ton.

A large amount of space is given
this week to the article on "DOniphan
County Justice" Whenever the rights
guaranteed to every citizen Of the
Republic, are denied to one, it is the
concern of all, especially if it is with.
10 the borders Of our own state
This has most certainly been done.
Editor Elliot deserves and should
receive not only the moral support of
all liberty loving people, but financial
aid as well. The Republican party is
essentially a boss ridden and a boss
controlled party. Boss Cy acts for
the party in Kansas. What he says
goes. What he has done in DOniphan
county he would do in every county
in fhe state politics had his party the
same majority. Justice or morality
are never considered, The only mo-
tives Of action are pllnder and power.

Unconstitutional.

Federal Judge Hook, who was but a
few short months ago an obscure Leaven-
worth lawyer, has in obedience to the or
derS of the railroads declared the court of
visitation unconstitutional on the ground
that no body can exercise both executive
and judicial powers. If this wonderful
discovery Of this new legal light is correct
the laws establishing and defining the
powers of the county commissioners
throughout the state are also unconstitu-
tiOnal. It wiI1keep the Legislators busy
keeping up with the corporation-paid
attorneys of the federal courts if they un-
dertake it.

1t should be borne i'll mind at the very
outset that the fight in DJniphan county
is not directed BE-. uust Frank Elliot and
Pool Grinstead, the editors of two
papers in question, because Of any per-
sonal peculiarities they may have, but
solely because the Leland ring re-
garded their papers as dangerous and
have determined to close them up. 1t is
not new game in Doniphan county
politics either, but has been tried before
with success. Some years ago when
Frank Finch published the Times he led
a revolt against Leland and su Gee ieL IL
electing Tom Langdon county treasurer
The gang stole the ballot box at High
land station and altered enough ballots
to elect the Republican candidate. Two
years later, Langdon was again elected
treasurer, but this time the tally-sheets
at Troy were juggled so as to count him
out. All efforts to hush Finch up hay
ing failed, the courts were resorted to,
and for eight terms of court he was made
defendant in series of libel suits Judge
R. NJ. Bussett was on the bench and saw
to it that Finch secured fair and impair
tial trials, for which act of insubordina-
ton he lost denomination. No convic-
tons were had against Finch, but the
protracted litigation broke him up and
drove him from the county. The people
paid the freight, but the Leland gang
reaped the profits. These facts are re-
cited simply to show that the present
litigation is no new method of political
warfare in Doniphan county.

About this time another of the nu
merouS county defalcations in Doniprar
county came to light, and it was neces
Sary to provide victim to appease thu
popular wrath. An old man named
onlvely who had been a business pt rtnei
OF the treasurer, was picked on for the
scape goat and an action was commenced
against him. Snively was game and
asked TOR a change of venue, alleging
that this was political prosecution in
cited by Cy Leland's gang, and that Oh
account OF the gangs influence he could
not have a fair and impartial trial in
Domphan county. R. NJ. Emery of
Seneca, was on the bench and granted
the motion for a change of venue, send
ing the case to Nemeha county, where
Snlvely was acquitted by jury. There
Is story to the effect that Leland and
Emery had the warmest kind of a seance
after the motion for a change of venue
was granted, in which Leland told En-
cry that his days on the bench were
numbered, and Emery retorted that as
long as he was on the bench Leland
could not use the court to punish his
political enemies.
The failure to convict SniveIy and the
growing revolt in Doniphan county
showed Leland the necessity of having
a Judge of his OWL on the bench, SO he
brought his man, w. l. Stuart, into the
race. Brown county presented r F.
Buckles, and Nemeha county presented
R. NJ. Emery. Brown county had a
promise from Leland to nominate
Buckles at the proper time. The con-
1ention dead-locked and after taking
over thousand ballots adjourned. At a
second sitting Nemeha county learned
hat there was written agreement be-
tween Brown and Doniphan counties,
and so she. ithrew up the sponge and her
delegates went home. This led to an.
other adjournment ssAt the third con-
vention only Brown and Doniphan
counties were represented. Leland again
reiterated his promise to nominate Buck
les, before the convention was over.
Late in the afternoon two of the Meme
ha delegates entered the conventian.
One was the brother-in-law of Senator
John Fulton, one Of Leland's gangsters.
and the other was graduate of two
state penitentiaries. These two worthless
cast their votes for Stuart and he was de.
clared the the nominee.

Doniphan County Justice.

At the recent meeting of the Reform

were passed urging the people of Kansas
to support the Troy Times and the Wa
thena Star in their fight to maintain a
free press in Doniphan county. AS
some members of the association were
not familiar with the Doniphan county
situation, the presi lent Of the association
was requested to prepare and publish a

fight ,ainst Leland in Doniphan county,
was joined by the Wathena Star, which
b)lted the candidate for judge and the
caudidlte for the Legislature. A number
Of other papers in the district threatened
to bolt, but they were sugared back into
line. Stuart had a majority of the votes
cast, but Falcon contested his election
before the senate. The senate found
Stuart guilty of violating the corrupt
practices act, and declared that a va
cancy existed in the district. The mat
ter finally went before the supreme
court, which body decided that the SEN
ate could not get rid of judge in that
manner, so that Stuart now occupies the
bench in the Twenty-Second district,
resting under the stigma put upon him
by the senate of being corruptionist
and a bride giver.

Other libel suits against Elliot and
Grinstead have followed thick and fast.
State Senator Fulton has started three
against Grinstead. Al Graves, present
treasurer of Doniphan, and assistant I'M
der the defaulting treasurer, has COM
menced suit against both Elliot and
Grinstead. All of these cases are
brought in the name of the state so that
the dear people may be made to
assist in driving to the wall the papers
which have dared to uncover the rascal
ity and thievery which exists in the po-
litical Sodom of Kansas.
