FL. E. Glenn has recently been ap-
pointed deputy coal oil inspector at XII

whole column of the News in laying
his respects to 1.-THE powers that be-"
He says that the salary attached will
reach all the way from two bits to 81. 50
per month aud that the useless position
of deputy "coal oil smeller" was Great
ed to satisfy q small fry pie hunter who
is contented with any old thing. When
Haberleln began the publication of the
News he announced that he would be
independent enough TO condemn q
wrong in his own party and he seems to
be working along that line in some re-
spects. The ONCE Of deputy oil inspec-
tor at Kiowa is as useless as it Is trif-
ling.

A disinterested citizen of Kiowa
sends us the following relative to the
recent outbreak in the republican ranks
in tho southern part of the county.
The writer's name is withheld by spe-
cial request:
I'm last weeks issue of the Kiowa
News its editor holds up torch bright
~ burning and at times brilliantly
flashing, illuminating the selfishness Of
some of the local pie hunters and the
perfidy of the present republican state
administration In dealing out the pie
ct its disposal, and the manner In
which 1t uses its power to feed its hun
cry tools at the expense of other and
perhaps more deserving party follow
ers. With scathing sarcasm the editor
of the News resents the intended stab
IN the back and the direct insult offer
cd him by the managers of the party
in the county and state. by the appoint
ment of III. E. Glenn as local coal oil
inspector after his father was provided
for with an easy JOB. The inside Sc
cret to the whole affair il this: Glenn
pretended to be pulling the wires for
other aspiring republicans and it was
understood that * the .pull" should
succeed, the successful aspirants would
compensate him fttingIy; but Mr..
Glenn ostensibly had his ear to the
ground, he had heard of the settled
policy of the powers that be to turn
him down as committeeman and he de-
cided to accept the compromise which
was offered-a small job paying $1.5O
per month, and thus hath the fact
again been demonstrated that the hon.
est and deserving t0ilers within the re.
publican ranks shall receive neither
honor nor reward, but their entreaties
answered with utter insolence and con-
tempt so that the greed of narrow.
guaged politicians may be satisfied.
1.-The success with which the News Is
meeting as an independent republican
paper Ia alarming to certain manipulate
ors and they show their Ill comfort and
impudence by feeding the Journal with
crumbs from the political table. Those
who can read as they run can see that
an under chasm is separating the fac
tions Of the g. o. p. in the county and
state, more powerful than the one they
claim exists in the PopulIst and demo-
cratic parties. 1t is contest between
the best element and the honest yeo-
many Of the party against the unde-
serving spoilsmen. The latter element
are on top 80 far but the former are
AWAKENING and an effective protest il
coming.
1.-The outcome Of the fight between
the Journal and the News is watched
with interest. The Journal has the
advantage of being backed by some
skilled wire pullers but the News Ii
conceded to be infinitely more able and
its motives are seemingly pure"
