The statement that western Kansas
is rapidly yielding to the potent
influence Of alfalfa and cattle is not
only important, but it is true. Agri.
culture has made several assaults
upon the semi.arid plains 10 the past
and has been worsted. The present
attack has been successful. The
farmer and cattle raiser have obtained
permanent foot hold now and the
people OF western Kansas are already
beginning to speak of failures as
"reminiscences Of the past and as
impOssibilities Of the present. or
future. This is due to an intelligent
study OF the needs Of the locality aided
by the expensive experience of years
gone by. The vast plains of the west
are the great grazing grounds of the
cattle which come from the east later
to fatten on the products of the corn
belt. The western cattleman. with

LITTLE A TRUE HERO.

The paper published in Manila
under date of March 2Sth, states
that Ed Little, lieutenant colonel Of
the Twentieth Kansas, is a true
hero. The writer who was a spec
tator writes after the battle in which
Lieu tenant Colonel was in COM
mand:
"Soon after the freing began, and our
first volley was sent into the Jungle.
Then came the order to halt; then to lie
down, and then for the first time heard
the enemy's bullets.
"Now it was that men began to fall all
around us. On through brush and over
cleared fields, and on to deep ravine,
and then on to the river they went; men
falling everywhere. Here it was that tie
blue shirted Lieut.. Col. Little illustrated
t. me true bravery.
"He had ordered his men to lie down.
The bullets were whistling and cracking
overhead and all around u.s. finding here
and there victim. The men were I'M
easy, restless; wanted to be up and dc.
ing. They would rise to their knees,
always looking forward. II was behind
tree. Their actions seemed to anger
the lieutenan-colonel, and he repeated
time and time again the order to lie
down. He strobe back and forth and
exclaimed;
Soldiers, if you don't lie down III
hit you clip with this sword, and see il
you'll then lie down
"a pronounced smoker went down the
line, but the order was obeyd. noticed,
however, that the aforementioned did
. not lie down. He strobe up and down

in front of his men, unconcerned for
himself, but solicitous for his men.
That. l think, is good soldering"
The Freedom contains no mention or
reference to any other officer of the
Twentieth Kansas. In summing up the
result of his experiences under the head
of what impressed him most, the writer
in the above paper says:
1.-THE eagerness Of the men to advance
and fight was first.
Their courage and fortitude in the
heat and smoke and when wounded.
after what l have seen, know, as ]
have always believed, that the boys in
blue are irresistible"

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY,

For the prosperity and ad!ance-
mcnt of Kansas it is necessary that
there be change in the COVE nment
of the state.
Under the present regime our
taxes are being increased, corpor-
atoms are acqiring tenacious grasp
on everything, and the public Offices
are being filled with a lot of ire
>ponsible politicians. These are
incontrovertable facts, and it is
necessary that they be brought home
10 the people. Seldom has such an
opportunity for good work presented
itself to the Fusion party. Let's
take advantage Of i! Populists
organize, organize; and present a
united force in the battle. You are
fighting for measures, not men, and
all personal friction must be laid
aside. A vigorous campaign of ed
ucation is sure to lead to victory,
and should be undertaken without
delay. From now on the Voice will
place the issues squarely before the
people, and the acts Of cur Repub-
lican state administration will have
the searcblight of criticism thrown
upon them. Now is the time to lay
The foundation for a successful cam
paign.
Let everyone advocating Popu-
listic principles become a worker,
and success at the next election is
sure.

nURDOCK OF ELDORADO
II Still After the Gang, Stanley Leland
Co., as II Deserves.


"Please try and rembember tive
things: First, that the Leland gang
will be annihilated at the next
Republican state convention. Second,
that W. Eugene Stanley will not be
The next governor of Kansas, but will
20 dlwn to defeat and Oblivion next
year. In the meantime, big and little
statesmen, who commend or condemn
us for raising he wsrwhoop on Stanley
and the Cy Leland gang will be nl
our side mex: year. We have studied
Kansas political storms too ling not
to be able to tel one when we see il
coming.
"Dou't forget, as you 60 along, that
10 man In this state can question our
loyalty to the Republican party. All
We are after is TO get the party control
out OF the hands OF the gang and
back into the hands OF the party
itself.
1--WE have stated, from time TO
time, that the Leland gang ought to be
turned down, and that the tail should
20 with the hide. This would include
Stanley. Now comes Mort All a n a
political cob carrier and roust about
OF the Leland gang, and chairman of
the Republican state central com.
mittee, with statement that
Murdoch has case Of political jim
jams Suppose we have, and suppose
we are liar and horse thief. What
has that got to do with the fact that
the Leland gang owns and runs the
Stanlay administration?
There are about 800 old soldiers 10
this country who voted for Stanley last
fall. The average old soldier is not
bunting political pie, but when there
is pie around he wants his share.
Stanley made two speeches in this
county last fall, and 10 both Of them
he flung his arms into the air, and
rolling his eyes toward heaven, said
that wherever it was possible for him
to put old soldiers in office he would
do so. He has not appointed an old
soldier to Office in this county,
although he has given one Office to a
civilian and promised another to
another civilian. 10 other words, the
governor seems to have been lying to
the old soldiers. -EldOradO Republi-

There was a law passed at the last
session OF the legislature permitting
townships to levy tax to support d
high school in their vicinity, II such
was expedient. This would enable
Two or more townships to consolidate
and run agraded school. Wellington,
10 case she loses her County High
school, is going to try to do that.
Wei, no one would oppose 1t in this
part Of the county. II three or four
townships, adjacent to Wellington
want to do that, 1t would be, to say
the least, a good deal more sensible
than to saddle County High school
onto the remote townships-who not
only get no benefit, but whose home
schools are positively injured by It, in
order to help out poor old tax ridden
Wellington.
The above is taken from the Con.

Brother Crane wishes to be fair 10
