Our experience has shown that the or

necessary to enable us to compete sue

We therefore deprecate indiscriminate
attacks upon the organizations of indus

We seek, by dissemination of FACTS,

A New Drought Resisting Crop.

The Kansas Experiment Station has
raised soy beans for the past II years,
having seventy acres planted in this crop
in 1899. They find the soy bean to
stand the drought as well as sorghum or
Kafr-corn, it is not touched by chinch
bugs, the grain is richer feed than lin
seed meal and the plant enriches the soil
on which it is grown. Every farmer
who reads this paper should plant few
acres this spring. Write today to the
Kansas Experiment Station, Manhattan,
Kansas, for. Bulletin No. g. gives full
information in regard to planting, cult
waiting, harvesting and feeding SOY beans.
This bulletin is sent free to ali residents
of Cansas who will write for it.

1t is important that no mistake be made
in selecting the fusion nominee for con-
gress this year. On the 18th of April the
nominating conventions will be held at
Great Bend. The nominee of those con-
ventions will be the next congressman
from this district if no mistake is made.
Good, careful, representative men should
be elected to 60 to these conventions and
a full delegation should attend. 1t is
only in this way that Sumner county will
have its full share of influence in making
the selection.
The candidates now before the people
are I. P Campbell, an attorney of Wich-
ita, DR.. Muir, of Harper, W. L. Brown,
of Kingman, editor of the Journal and
Judge Andrews, of La Crosse, populists,
Claud Duval of Hutchinson, a travelling
man, and Vernon J. Rose, of Newton,
Campbellite minister, democrats. Others
may be announced later. In each in
stance both populists and democrats of
the respective counties where the candi-
dates live will doubtless declare for their
candidate. The utmost good feeling pre-
walls so far in every way and it will so
continue. The only conventions so far
reported outside of homes of candidates
are those of Ford and Finney counties,
populist and democratic. All are for
Duval. Each of the persons mentioned
is an experienced and able speaker.
Which one will be most. credit to the
party as candidate is The most import
ant question. WhiC,l one stands highest
in character, scholarship and ability.
There are the qTIestions that should be
decided and tb at will determine the nom-
ination. gh'e one possessing these will
be the best vote getter in November.
In this and succeeding issues short
articles commendatory Of each will be
repr@ luced.

A sarcastic exchange gives its readers
this advice as the best way to deal with
the trusts: Boycott the trusts! Boycott
the steel trust-be honest. Quit TIE
soap tlust-go dirty. Boycott the tobac-
co and and chewing gum trusts-chew
the rag. Quit the sugar trust-don't get
sweet on anybody, male or female. Boy
colt the match trust-don't get married.
Quit the whiskey trust-drink butter
milk and catnip tea. Quit the oil trust
90 to bed at dark. Boycott the coal
trust-the next world will be hot enough
to make up for any chillness in this one.

Last week under the heading, ga
Warning to Farmers" mention was made
of scheme by which the farmers OF var
ious counties in the state were being de-
frauded under the guise Of hail insurance.
This concern is now operating in this
county under the name of "The Equita-
bic Mutual Hail Insurance Association,
Kansas City, Kansas" No street or
number is given and not single name
of all individual appears anywhere on the
application or on the bylaws. That the
concern is fraud upon its face should be
to anyone who reads the follow
ing portion of the application.
'In consideration of policy OF Insur-
ance against damage or loss to my Grow

As the Devil Would Do.

During Sheldon week on the Capital
the Atchisou Champion was run as the
Devil would run it. = Among the many
contributed articles is the following pithy
and truthful statement from ex-Gov. st.
John
The first thing the Devil would do
would be to write a salutatory. He
would give it an intense religious tone.
He would shout for "Old Glory" aud
scream for liberty, and pitch into the
Mormons, but would not say word
about the thousands of slaves, and our
government salaried Sultan and his sew
enteen wives, under the protection Of the
American flag on the Island of Zulu. He
would openly favor bimetalism, and Sc
cretly work to put the government on a
single gold basis. He would talk loud
sad long about the Peoples Money"
but place them at the mercy of the Ma
tional banks to get it. He would declare
that the Cabans "Were and of right ought
to be Free" and then refuse to give them
their freedom. He would denounce
fraud, and then send word to the Gamers
of rotten beef to clean up and get ready
to be whitewashed. He would stand
quietly by, and without even protest,
sae the organized trusts rob the people of
hundreds of millions annually, and call
it prosperity. He would advocate the
1eyying of high tariff tax on the poor
mans food and clothing, and tell him it
was protection. He would be as quiet as
graveyard while we were burning
negroes at the stake, and punching their
ewes out with red hot iron here in our
own country, but would make his columns
speak in thunder tones in favor of send
ing our soldiers eight thousand miles
from home to shoot our civilization and
Milwaukee beer into the Filipinos. In a
desperate frenzied effort of a powerful
monarchy which has been a robber and
oppressor of weaker nations, to crush by
brute force, a brave people in South AT.
rica who are struggling, as our forefath.
es struggled four generations ago fcl
the right of self government, the devil
would be on the side Of the monarchy
and gloat over the downfall of the repub
lie. He would take the position in hi:
newspaper that by the Providence o.
God, Porto Rico was the property of the
United States, and hat her people wert
our people, and by this same Divine
Providence, and by the cry Of "benevolen
assimilation" and to impress upon tht
Porto Ricans the lesson, that ''Whon
the Lord loveth He chasteneth," hi
would put fifteen per cent tariff on tht
products of their labor. He would in
dnlge in long prayers for temperance
and editorially wink at the Klondykt
iointists to close up during the dull sea
son, but throw their doors wide oper
again Just before the veterans next pay
day. He would stand for Mckinley and
bitterly denounce Bryan, and finally hi:
Satanic Majesty would provide, that in
case of his death or removal from the
United States, his newspaper should be
turned over to Mark Hanna.

a negotiable note for a certain definite
amount below that required to cover
l1sses as judged by past experience.
There notes once signed and delivered

worse for admitting such concern TO do

Readers of the VOICE may depend up
on it for an exposure of such frauds as
this and the shot gun washer whenever
they attempt to do business in Sumner
county. The trouble is not all with the
fraudulent concerns. If people would
stop trying to get something for nothing
t lere would be fewer sharpers fishing
for suckers and fewer victims of mis-
placed confidence. 1t is safest and most
satisfactory always to do business with
individuals and firms of known standing
and responsibility.

Typical Republican Convention HdEverng Cut and Driedhe Slate

The bosses held their convention Tues
day. The faithful dutifully attended and
ratified their action. Leland steps down
and Low of the Rock Island railroad,
takes his place. c. E. Elliott, who is
the Rock Island attorney here, acted as
lieutenant. Following his lead in the
convention turned down several who
wished the support of their own
county for delegate to the national con-
vention and gave it to Judge Wall, of
Wichita. To this Jas. Lawrence objected
saying that Sumner county had been the
tail to Sedgwich county kite long
enough; but in this as in everything else,
the convention rode rough shod over
Lawrence, who in the absence Of A. A.
Richards, made all the motions and in
troduced all the resolutions. In this
county as elsewhere in the district the
opposition to Long is sufficiently strong
to have defeated him had there been any
organization; but the bosses have decreed
and Long is to be renominated. The Sc

raise good patch of potatoes. By plant
ing early and mulching, a good crop Is
certain. Farmers here have an advant-
age over those in most localities in hav-

should be no need of shipping potatoes
