It WILL NOT PAY
Unless Fees are Promptly and
Closely Collected.
CLERK OF CITY COURT
Makes a Report to County
Commissioners.

It has been a subject of considerable
speculation among those who have a great
deal to do with courts, as TO whether or
not the new city court of Wichita would
prove paying investment for the county.
The court has been in operation for a
little more than a month and a half, and
Court Clerk Ebey has made out his first
report to the county commissioners. Here
after he will make a monthly report 1t
seems quite evident that the court is not
going to pay its way unless the collection
OF fees is made promptly and a vigorous
policy adopted in respect to the prompt
payment Of the proper fees in every case.
Since the beginning of business on April
II the clerk has collected in civil fees $50
and in criminal fees about $50. There are
at present on the books uncollected fees
amounting to $40. It costs $500 a month
to maintain the court, so that if the fees
that are due We're collected the income for
the first six weeks of the court would
about offset the cost, inasmuch as there
was no assistant marshal during the first
month.
The court officials say that the great
saving is with respect to criminal costs
saved to the county under the new regime.
They and the county commissioners say
that the saving in criminal costs alone has
amounted to about 1910 since the estab-
lishment of the court. Before the coming
of the city court the county had to pay
constables and justices of the peace their
fees in criminal cases whenever those Of
ficia-s presented their bills, and it was
more or less bother Now they pay a
straight salary, no matter how great or
small the volume of business. Since the
beginning Of business there have been filed
in the city court seventy-f1ve civil cases.
and thirty criminal cases.
1t seems from the first statement filed
by Mr.. Ebey that the court is going to
pay its own way. but it will do so only
by the prompt collection of the fees from
litigants, who sometimes persist in putting
off the payment of costs in a suit until
they forget to pay at al.

THANKS.
/. D.

Commenting on ex-senator PETERS deser-
ton of the Populists, the Emporia, Kan,
Gazette asks:
Who will look after the octopus? Some
one will have to exercise the octopus, or
he will die of lethargy Also, who will prod
the Rothschilds and make the money barons
writhe with anguish? Who will blow the
hot breath of sirocco into Wall street
Who will dynamite corporate wealth? Who
will succor the great plain people?
There need be no alarm on this score so
long as our own Ignatius Donnelly keeps
'in the middle of the oad."-Minneapolis
Tribune.
Thanks, gentle gazelle!
What you mean to say is that things
are just right-that Wall street is a
blessing; that the Rothschilds are phi
lanthropists, and ought to be worth ten
times as much as they are; that Min
neapolis real estate is worth one-tenth
what it used to be, and that is all right
also, and the owners happy; that there
is neither poverty nor shame nor sor-
row in the world; and that your prince
ly salary is all you want or deserve;
that the trusts are just what we need,
and that the Republican national con-
vention will be all right when it re-
solves against them.

MORTGAGE PAID BY MARRIAGE.

Kansas Young Woman SACRIFICES
Love to Save the Homestead.
Especial to the Chicago Times Herald. J
WICHITA, Kan, June 12.-Miss Julia
Roberts was married to Allan Denton at
lola yesterday. The bride confessed at
the altar that she did not the least bit
love the man whom she was to marry, but
she was only marrying him to keep a
mortgage from falling due and taking their
old homestead.
Denton was the possessor OF this mortgage
and he said he would cancel the same If
Miss Roberts would become his bride.
The girls parents objected and wanted to
move out of the home which had been
theirs for the last half century. The girl
studied several days over the proposition,
and finally decided ssto sacrifice I'd -self
to save the home.
This is astonishing! We thought we
were living in an era of universal pros
perity; that the Kansas mortgages were
all paid off; and that the farmers of
that blessed country were rolling in
wealth, and only worried to know how
to invest their surplus money. And
here we have young girl martyrizing
herself to save her parents from the
poorhouse

that he be given an opportunity to re-
ply to Bryan, but has been informed that
this will be permitted under no circum-
stances, and that he must confine himself
strictly to his subject. No doubt the
management knows its business, but the
fact remains, nevertheless, that the biggest
crowd that ever assembled in Brown coun-
ty would go to the park to hear Donnelly
turn himself loose at the other end OF the
Pop party.-Minneapolis Tribune.
We are not posing as a candidate for
the presidency or anything else. or set
ting ourself up as rival to Mr.. Bryan.
In fact, il Mr.. B. will declare that he
is full-fedged Populist, and nothing
else, he shall have our support. The
trouble is, he is simply coquetting with
the Peoples party, and trying to lead

Watterson's graphic expression.

Ten PrOpOsitiOns.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, has
advanced 10 propositions on the Philip
pine war of conquest, in which he says
mo man during this whole discussion
has successfully challenged or can sue
cessfully challenge. Briefly stated, Sen
ator Hoar's propositions are:
1. That the government was not es-
tablished for the purpose of conquest;
that the acquisition of territory for gov
erning its people as subject nations, is
foreign to the purposes of the constitu-
ton.
z. That ito leave our own country to
stand on foreign soil'' is against the
warnings of the fathers.
3. That no tropical country was ever
successfully governed without a system
OF contract labor, and this is true if the
words cor slavery" be added.
4. That no money profit is to be ex-
pected from the Philippines. Even if
we secured the full trade of the islands
for some of our syndicates, the cost to
the government would be more than
those profits to individuals.
5. That military occupation of the
tropics means an immense cost to both
the souls and bodies of our soldiers.
6. That our official declarations as
to Cuba are equally applicable to the
Philippines. How can it be cues
toned?
Z. That Aguinaldo and his followers
had conquered the Spanish and held the
islands before we began war upon them.
8. That the Filipinos are fighting
for liberty and independence, while we
are fighting to assert right to control
another nation against it's will
y. That the arguments of those who
uphold our war of conquest are the
same as those of George III. concerning
the revolted American colonies, while
the arguments of the opponents of tho
war are the same as those who opposed
our coercion during the revolutionary
war.
10. That the supporters of imperial
ism do not dare to quote the great ut
terances of our statesmen, from Wash
ington to Lincoln, in favor of liberty
and self-government.
The foregoing are the carefully ex-
pressed views of George F. Hoar, of
Massachusetts. We commend them to
the prayerful consideration of the men
who profess to be Republicans now.
and ask them if it is not true that there
is a vast difference between a Mckinley
Republican so-called.-American Stand

The Political Situation.

Men who are wanting Office
We meet on every hand,
And scheming politicians
Are the rulers of the land:
Our patriotic forefathers
Are dead and in their graves,
While we, their sons of liberty.
Are fast becoming slaves
An honest man to Office
Is elected now and then,
But the love of wealth and power
Corrupts the most of men;
From Maine to California
The calamity howlers squeal;
They have summed up our politics
AS one gigantic steal.
All thinkers and observers know
That things are going wrong,
And that wealthy corporations
Have pull that's very strong:
The masses of the people
Do not think or seem to care
They put their ballots in the box.
And think they've done their share
They do not seem to realize
That patriotism's dead.
That greed and love of Office
Have knocked it in the head.
they cheer the grand old party;
When hard times come they curse,
But they vote the same old ticket.
And things get worse and worse.
