FARMERS CUT IN.

Hardly a train reaches C%asselton but
carries from a dozen to fifty men sent
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to work
on the Northern Pacific extension from
Casselton to Dickey. Of the number
who arrive a very few ever do any
work on the new line. Farmers are
needing men, and they are Johnny
on-the-spot" when the trains arrive,
and it does not require much coaxing
20 get the men to accept farm positions
at 81 a day and board, when they can
only get the same wages and pay 81
a week for board for working for the
railroad company. The new line is
M miles long, and but six miles of
track have been laid. those in charge
OF the work are about ready to give up,
and call the work off until men are
more plentiful. Those men who do
go to work remain but a few days, and
then take to the harvest fields, and it
is not unlikely that work will be
stopped OF the line until enough men
can be secured to carry the work
through more rapidly. The contract
was let to Foley Bros, and the line
was to have been finished in five
months. Work vas begun in April.

considerable dltlculty and much
waste is being experienced in harvest
ing the crop. The straw is so short
that binders cannot be used to adyan-
tage, and frequently even headers can
not reach the grain. In many cases
fields have been cut with moving ma
chimes and the straw then saved by
raking.
The quality of the samples is al
most universally spoken of as very
high, a condition which is frequently
true in drought seasons. The neces-
sity of securing at least seed wheat
has led to the cutting of many fields
that would have been abandoned un-

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The Populist Senatorial Convention
in and for the 37th district of Kansas
has been called to meet in Medicine
Lodge on THURSDAY, August 9.
1900, at 10 O'Clock A. M. to nominate a
candidate for senator. The basis of
representation is one delegate at large
from each county and one delegate for
every l25 votes and major fraction cast
for Hon. A. j. Titus in 1896. Barber
county is entitled to seven delegates.
They were selected some time ago and
are COMPOSED of Arthur Maddox and
G. w. Nelson. of Cedar. F. C. Colburn,
of Nippawalla, V. c. Sleeper, of Val
ley, U. e. Herr, of Medicine Lodge.
and l.. c. Golf and A. l.. Herr, of Kio.
wa.
Chairman Coslett failed to furnish us
with copy of the call containing the
representation of the various counties
and we have no figures at our command
hence we can not say at this time what
the representation of the other coun-
ties is. The committee should have
been more dIlligent and accurate, and
longer notice should have been given.
But let US get up big convention.
This is the first district convention
Medicine Lodge has had for years and
we must prove ourselves worthy of the
honor.

THE STATE CONVENTIONS.

The triune forces did all that men
could do, at Fort Scott last week. The
ticket is as strong one as could have
been nominated and the voice OF the
people was supreme. States counted
for naught and even the slate makers
went home satisfied with Vox Populi
Vox Del.
The plan of nominating a candidate
for y. S. senator was not adopted. The
delegates were not ready to grasp tina,
advanced issue and many of them
could not take hold intelligibly. How
ever, it must be admitted that an i'm
portant Populist principle was involved
in that issue even though 1t was defeat.
ed. Hon. Jerry Simpson made a fight
and lost, but came out stronger man
at the end.
The ticket is flying at our masthead

A Few Reasons.

To the Electors of Barber County and
Vicinity, Gentlemen:-As some few of
my friends appear to be somewhat dis
turbed over my action in accepting a
nomination on the prohibition ticket,
perhaps few words from me will not
be out of place. First, allow me to say,
as an American citizen we are allowed,
yea expected to exercise our right of
choice as to the political platform upon
whice we can conscientiously stand. 1t
is needless to remind you that there is
only one live issue before the American
people to-day and that is the American
saloon. Shall it be perpetuated or shall
it be prohibited, is the question.
There are three great political parties in
the field. Two of them favor perpetual
ton and the other demands prohibition,
and you have the privilege under the
law of voting for the former, provided
your conscience will allow you to do so
after you have carefully considered the
matter of the greatest good to the great
est number. Look up the statistics and
figure up the profits and loss in the sa-
loon business to the United States.
And you will find that in round numbers
we have the following: Our government
received from the liquor traffic last year
1925 ZOO, 600 and for every dollar we re-
ceived we paid out SIG to convict and
restrain criminals made such by this
liquor traffic. This you will see makes
loss to us of s1,875 100000. An ex-
PLANTATION in the Is to l problem that
even Mr.. Bryan has doubtless over
looked. The maximum output from all
our minis is $4,000, 600 of silver per year,
and it would require twenty-five years
running night and day for those minis to
coin silver enough to pay for one years
drink bill. And yet you would have us
believe that the currency question was
the overshadowing issue in this quad
RENAL battle. But the great waste of
money great as it is, is not the create st
to be considered. The greater waste of
manhood must be taken into account.
100000 of our bright boys go down I'M
der the influence of strong drink every
year to take the place of the 100000
drunkards who topple over into drunk
ards hell. And yet you blame me and
Others who cannot help you perpetuate
this damning curse. But believe you
will after carefully considering this great
question decide, as [ have, to register
your protest against this unrighteous
business by casting your ballot for pro-
hibition with party to enforce it, who
are in sympathy with the law.

THE POLITICAL RESERVOIR.

The political fires in Barber county
are burning to white heat in some
quarters and everybody Is more than
luke warm without regard to the side
of the fence he finds himself. In the
republican camp there is moro friction
than at any time since the Organiza-
tion of the Peoples party and in the
Populist camp there is genuine good
feeling and determination and the spir-
it OF that memorable campaign Of 1890
is again manifesting itself.
There was a great hub bub In repub.
lican circles last week when Sam Rob-
inson withdrew from the race for coun-
ty superintendent, and birthstone was
the predominating article in the Ores.
set Office for time. Sam felt that he
was up against combination that he
could not break and he quit. But In
so doing he told the Cresset man that
he knew that the republican candidate
was nominated long ago and that the
bosses have said none but Taylor
should have chance. Then he read
the riot act to the Big Four and
warned them that there are hundreds
of republicans in Barber county who
are sick and tired of such arrogant
bossism and the gang who think they
arc the whole thing will drop. Mr..
Robinson is about as shrewd as any body
when 1t comes to locating q political
trick and he can't be led around by the
nose by little sleek patting on the

few things and IL is our opinion that
every mothers son of them will yet
wish they had not tried to laugh him
out of politics.

right to feel that the ''push" have done
him q great injury. The Cresset last
week stated that he and Frank Shell
told the story that the republican COM
mIttee adopted resolution fayoring
the nomination of Fred Ellis for coun-
ty attorney. or course. such q story
was not circulated by either OF the men
named. There was some talk Of the
kind but it originated from one who
attended the committee meeting. AS
matter OF fact there were some who
favored such action bat the bosses sat
down hard on the proposition. But
there is q wrong done in accusing Mr..
McCague OF dabbling with that matter.
He is practicing attorney here, has
not taken an active part in politics and
does not care 20 have the partisan liz
win Of any man. To tell such an ont
rageous story on him might be q source
OF injury in several ways and he right
fully feels indignant at receiving such
treatment at the hands OF his own par

The total amount expend-
ed for the support of paupers
at the July meeting~is 1916
Is. Of this amount S91 is
expended for the care of
those in q hospital at Wichi-
ia, leaving the sum of $455.1S
for those in the county. The
poor farm was purchased
May 1, 1900, just one month
after the April meeting of
the commissioners and hence
it is reasonable to say that
this sum of $455.18 is the
pauper expense of one month,
or a yearly sum of SIS, 1926,
provided the cost each month
would equal that of April.
Yet in the face of this enor-
nous calculation there is not
a single pauper at the poor
farm and it is right that the
people should inquire who
these paupers are who draw
all this money. More than
this, there has been already

TIE PROXIES GOT SAM STEWART.

comes from the republican committee
meeting of July 21st in which Sam
Stewart got the double cross. Some
of the leaders were protesting to be
friendly to Sans candidacy and Sam
was cute enough to make them show
their hands. 1t seems that the Stewart
people wanted an early convention, and
decided to make fight for August 4th.
The MIllar men were not ready to come
to showdown that early, and put up
a fight for August 18th. or course,
the Millar forces won but it required
the assistance of three men who slip

something desperate had to be done
and they selected the best timber for
the occasion. E. III. Nixon. chairman,
