all were.

perhaps you have also noticed chat some
men are just like gas jets.

want others to have It. All they want Is
O. clear field and a fair show.
Parsons Palladiuma II United States
Senators were elected by the people there
would be no deadlocked Legislatures
and money Of the people frittered away
in prolonged and extra sessions.
Kenslngton Mirror: There 10 some
thing wrong with the business man that
doesn't advertise. You do the right thing
by your newspaper, your town and your
county when you patronize the liberal
minded advertisers.
Kansas City (Kans.) Labor Record:
Increase in wages are the best sign OF
continuous prosperity. The workers
spend money freely when they have 1t,
and trade must necessarily improve when
they are well paid.
Western School Journal: Men, at
least as to numbers, do not seem to be
important factors In the schools OF Mas
sachusetts for last year there were 11,723
women teaching in the public schools OF
the State, and but 1,12O men.
Farmers Voice: The man who watches
the markets is the one who sells to the
best advantage II the buyer finds you
stuck with load of hogs he is quite
likely to try to squeeze you. In that case
tell him you can send them to market
yourself.
Oswego Blade: It is unlawful to catch
fish between March Is and May Is, and
the game warden Is supposed to prose-
cute violators. Thus the fish are pro-
tected, but the two-legged suckers that
bite at every fake that comes along are
left to take care OF themselves as best
they can.
National Rural: The Mothers Con-
gress, which recently assembled at Wash
lngton, advocates training children along
progressive modern lines. The old-fash-
ione6 fathers still have faith In con-
gresses held in the wOodshed, with a
slender withe Of hickory as the only sign
OF formality.
Lakin Investigator: Kansas City Is
moving vigorously toward free bath

such an advanced step,

Dickinson County News: Some peo-
pie who talk against trusts in cam
paign get very much afraid that the
country will go to the bOw-wows IL trusts
are knocked out by law. We lived and
thrived without trusts and we win do so
again when we drive trusts out. The
antitrust fight will be to the front in
tho 1900 campaign.
Ford County Leader II Is the sim
plest thing in the world for cOmbina
tiOn to make money after 1t has organ
lied all OF the businesses in one line into
trust and frozen out all opposition;
but who pays the freight-trust profits?
Why, the people, Of course. The printer

many hard-earned dollars.
