The republicans of Kansas are max
Ing great campaign on alleged
"hops." They are gong all over the
state picking up names of men who
had been voting the republican ticket
for ten years and publishing them 20
the world as "flops." We have exam
pies Of it close at homo. For instance,
there is j. w. Bergman, now residing
at Ashland, who they say is 4 demo.
crat who will vote for Mckinley. Fact
Is, Bergman was republican ever
since the Chicago platform was adopt
ed, and some say be voted the republi-
can ticket before that time. Now and
then the republicans do find a man
who voted for Bryan four years ago
who will vote for Mckinley this year
but for every man Of that kind there
are four who voted for Mckinley who
will vote for Bryan this year. When
the votes are counted the republican

If Uncle Bob Smith does not arrest

inal libel, we shall always think that he
missed a good opportunity. That sheet
last week quoted Uncle Bob as saying
that if it were not for VOW he made
four years ago that he would not vote
for Mckinley, that he would vote for
him this year because these republican
times are>good enough for him. When
Bob saw the item he was not feeling in
the best of humor. lie cornered the
Cresset man and read the riot act in
great shape and the result of the meet
ing was that the Cresset will this week
retract what it said. Nobody who
knows Mr.. Smith will believe for mo-
ment that he would talk such foolish
ness and the editor of the Cresset knew
that he was publishing a lie at the time
he wrote it. But this is the way in
which the republicans get their list of
"hoppers." BY the time that item gets
made over into the Topeka papers they
will publish Mr. Smith as full -fledged
republican when as matter of fact nc
one ever had reason to doubt that he is

The easiest way for the Cresset to get
out of The hole is TO come out and admit
that it lied.

SINCE County Attorney Griffin began
his official career In Barber county
there have been fifteen criminal cases
disposed of mot counting pleas Of gull
ty) and out of these only four cUnvic-
ton were secured, and in two of the
four he was assisted by counsel either
at the expense of the county or the in
dividuals interested in the prosecu-
tons. Mr.. Griffin's failures were en-
tirely due to lack of judgment and ina
bility to prosecute. He Is not q lawyer
In the sense OF the term and is not
qualified to be classed among practl-
TONERS. In most of the cases which he
undertook to prosecute he made fatal
errors but for which the result might
have been different. In others he
brought prosecutions where the law and
evidence did not warrant it and the
county footed up cost bills without any
persons being benefited. These fail
ures on the part of the county attorney
have cost the taxpayers thousands OF
| dollars and it is for their financial well
fare that this paper is pleading with
them to elect a lawyer of recognized
| ability this fall. Under the present
prosecutor society is not safe and law
lessness is encouraged. And when a
crime is committed, the aggrieved party
must either employ competent at.
tOrney to prosecute the case or let it &c
by default, for the commissioners seem
to have quit employing assistant coun.
| sci except in cases where their own ba.
con is in issue. If Judge Ellis IS elect
ed this fall these wrongs will be made
| right and the people can once more rest
| assured that the public will be protect
| ed and that the county treasury will
not be drained every time there is a
criminal prosecution or a county case
in court. If Griffin must be taken care
of it would be better for the county to
give him pension than to continue
him in the county attorneys office
The public welfare demands the cleo
ton of a competent attorney to that re-
sponsible Office this fall.
