One day last week a card came to us
from a certain postofice in Sumner
county saying that the VOICE addressed
to a certain person was refused. On the
same mail came a card from the person
mentioned stating that the paper was not
sent him. Had called for II every week
aud 1t was not there. Papers are care
fully addressed to every subscriber, and
mailed every week. If at any time your
paper does not reach you we should
like to know Of it. Postmasters are
public servants and it is the privilege and
duty of every citizen to complain to the
proper authorities and assist in correct
ing such abuses. This statement would
not be made had there not been other
causes of complaint from this Office.

There was no more potent factor in
the overthrow of the early civilizations
and there is no more potent factor for
evil, no greater cause for the accumula-
tons Of great fortunes by the few at the
expense of the many, than interest. 1T
is condemned and forbidden in the Bible.
1t is wrong in principle and practice.
Under existing conditions people may
be divided into borrowers and lenders.
It is well this division is not complete.
1t is well also that the lenders consume
and do not reloan all of their interest. To
show the full effect and the iniquity of
interest we must suppose this division
complete and all interest reloaned. Then
one class will pay compound interest to
the other The Rothchilds, many Old
World, and some New York banks are
following this out rigidly, reloaning all
interest and in this way compounding it.
What this will do and the iniquily of
it may be easily shown. One dollar
placed at 10 per cent interest upon the
discovery of America would amount now
to SIo,oG44o5, 22o, ,36S, ,3S4. This is 49,
9S5 times the national wealth. In 26o
years the amount would equal the entire
national wealth. This rate is not in ex-
ces. Of what banks make. Money can
not earn money. The paying Of interest,
or as the term is used in the Bible, usury.
is always an unjust tax upon labor and
it is only question of time until this
alone will concentrate the wealth of the
world in the hands of the few. It is
going on today rapidly.

The most denssly populated spot upon
the globe is in the sweat shop district
in New York. The notorious tenth" or
''typhus ward" Here, it is estimated,
$4,000 people live upon one square
mile. The most densely populated part
of London is but I75,ooo. The price for
making boys pants, all Of the work ex-
cept the cutting, is forty-two cents per
dozen, and other things in proportion.
Here, living on spoiled fruit, putrid
meat, stale bread and staler beer, with.
out distinctions of age or sex, in poverty,
disease and filth packed like sardines il
a box in these vile tenement quarters
live the Polish Jews, who make the re
markable bargains in ready-made clothing
found in any of our stores, possible
And this is Christian civilization. Thi
is the competitive system. Could co
operation and socialism be worse?

The United States senate contains
twenty-six millionaires. All are Repub-
hcans but two. Over one half the Re-
publican members are millionaires. This
is not an accident. Some of these men
are millionaires because they are sena-
tors; but most of them are senators be-
cause they are millionaires and are will
ling to use their money to buy seat in
the senate. This is the result of repre-
sentative government. Abolish the SEN
ate both state and national and reduce
the house in numbers by one half or
three-fourths Give them only power to
propose important laws and let the
people rule in fact, as they do now only
i'll name. This is the fundamental and
most important reform.

Some months since President McK;u.
ley stated at Madison, Wis, that "only
one small fraction of one small tribe in
the Orient were in rebellion" WHY
does not his great general, Otis, annihi-
late this "small fraction of one small
tribe" Why are the $4,000 men sent
there to end this war not allowed to act2
Either the president has wilfully mis-
stated or Otis is purposely prolonging a
war that could have been ended long
ago.

The recent panic in New York was due
partly to the effort of the Standard Oil
company to force a competitor in the
lighting business to the wall. This
mammoth concern now controls prac-
tically all of the private owned lighting
plants in the larger cities as they do
the salt industry. the iron industry and
many others. This is the present trust,
the largest, shrewdest and most un-
scrupulous Of them all Whenever they
get ready to crush out some rival and
complete their control of some other
industry they will take advantage of
another furry in Wall street and bring
on a panic there by hammeTing down
stocks again. The greatest genius in the
world today, and at the same time the
most villainous rascal. is John D. Rocky
feller, the richest man in the world. He
collects tribute from the people, not
only Of the United States but of the
world, tribute such as no feudal baron
or Roman tax gatherer ever levied.
Wreck and ruin of competitors and bus
iness, crimes of almost every descrip-
ton committed at his iilstiga,ion and TO
further his nefarious purposes. The
public mercilessly plundered in numer-
GUS ways and all to add to a fortune
already beyond the dreams Of avarice, "
and still this man is not in the peLiten-
tiary, where he belongs, but instead is an
honored member of the Baptist church,
and is lauded to the skies by hypocrit-
lcal ministers and others because he has
endowed college and essays also to
control the educational affairs of the
country with others.
Not Mckinley or any member of con-
gress has the control of national affairs
as has this modern Croesus. They take
their orders from such as he Quietly
and stealthily but just as surely the COM
bination of which he and J. P. Morgan
are the two controlling spirits, is gather
ing into its insatiate NAV the great in
dustries of the nation. How many of
the smaller combines, smaller banks and
smaller concerns generally, they must
absorb. How much the people must be
taxed by this modern Frankenstein
which is the creature of the Republican
party, before the people will come to
know the monster and crush it, time
only can tell. But crush it they will,
and there is but one way. That way is
simple and plain. Buy their properties
at fair valuation and operate them in
the interests OF the whole people.

Pool Grinstead, editor of the Wathena
Star, is still in Jail at the dictation of Cy
leland and by order of his tool, Judge
Stuart. He is there because he lives in
Doniphan county and dares speak the
truth, and denounce the boss. If he is
guilty of libel, editors all over the state,
even General Hudson of the Capital, are
equally so for they have repeated that
for which he is now in Jail. Better make

That tAmerican-manufactured goods are
sold generally for much less abroad than
at home is now admitted by the Topeka
Capital and many other high tariff Repub-

anism has kept them from admitting this
before. The case is so plain now that it
can not longer be denied. One by one
the fallacies upon which a protective
tariff rests are exploded.
