there was considerable talk of a COM
promise with the holders of Barber
county bonds, and the county commits
sioners employed one Bigger to man.
age the matter in the interest of the
taxpayer of Barber county. and con-
tract was entered into with said Big
ger by the commissioners to that eff
feet. Since then the taxpayers Of Bar
Der county have heard very little about
the matter except that Mr.. Bigger
pretty regularly meets with the Board
and gets some Pretty good sized bills
allowed. Latterly | notice that Eu
gene Ware, G. l. Long, and L don't
know but y. L. Noble, are also having
a finger in the pie, and so far as | know
the taxpayers don't know how much Of
the debt is compromised, or whether
any is, but they do know that their
taxes are about as much Or more than
heretofore; and it seems to me that the
people ought to know and have right
to know what has been done in the
matter. Some think the people are
getting very poor Ware and that the
expenses are getting Bigger" and
Long" er all the time. Would like
to have some light on this matter if
anyone is able to give 1t.

The Topeka Capital roars
for the retirement of the
greenback and says among
other things that the green
back has always been the OBJ
stacle to continued prospect

that class of people who do
not choose to investigate the
matter and arrive at a con-
clusiOn from the result of
such investigation, but those
who would rather study the
matter candidly will arrive
at a different verdict. The
greenback, while faulty, is
the only practical safeguard
to our monetary system. Re

In these days of "unparal-
leled prosperity" we find more
cities, counties and states try
ing to compromise their bond
ed Indebtedness than at any
time in history. They all say
they cannot discharge the en-
tire obligation, and they are
not misrepresenting matters.
All of which goes to show
that these prosperity claims
are fraudulent and amount to
nothing more than political
buncombe.

The Kansas Commoner
very truthfully says that the

of civilization. No progress
sive man ever advanced a
new idea without suffering
himself to be denounced and
ridiculed as a fool and a
crank, by that class of peo-
pie who haven't the capacity
to think and learn. 1t was
so in Columbus time and it
is SO today. The American
people are in need of more
"cranks."
