The Populists who want enough
money issued to do the business of
the world on a cash basis, can get an
interesting object lesson from the 20
millions in gold paid by this nation
to Spain. The money was paid by
bookkeeping. Not dollar actually
changed hands. New York had some
balances against Berlin and notified
its correspondents to wipe 20 millions
off the books. Through Paris, Berlin
squared accounts with Madrid. A few
lines were erased in books and memo
randums and the payment was maze.

Metcalf was promoted to colonel in
stead of Ed Little who was his senior
in rank Let's go back little When
the war started Ed Little was Pop
politician with a political pull, and
knew no more about soldering thar
Ford county jack rabbit. On the
other hand Metcalf has had twenty
years experience in soldering as an
officer of the Kansas National Guards
and was thoroughly competent to
head regiment the day war was de-
clared. If Ed Little was the fellow
who dictated Funston's and Metcalf's
first appointments. as is claimed,
what right had he to jump himself in
ahead of Metcalf? Besides, Metcalf
has earned promotion by his work on
the battlefield. Not only that, but
he was the choice of the men under
him. Not only that. but he was the
most competent man in the regiment
for the place.-Wichita Star.
