WITH PLEASURE, Mr.. NAY.

We publish below a small article
which Commissioner Nay has In last
weeks Kiowa Review. He wants it
published in the INDEX, and we are
glad to grant the request:
The INDEX says sinceCommissioner
Nay is so fond of getting himself into
print he might explain why the man
agement of the poor farm was not let
to bids.
The law does not require that the
commissioners should employ superin-
tendent by asking for bids. but saws
commissioners should employ some hu-
name and responsible person. Com
piled laws 1897, page S67. section %.
Will the INDEX publish this answer"
GEO. NAY.
Of course, the law does not require
that 1t be submitted to bids and that is
just the reason why it is made private
snap for politicians at the connty's ex.
pense. Just as in the case of county
printing. The republican commission
ers know that their political heads will
come off if they don't serve the bosses
and that is the reason why the patron
age all goes to little ring at rates that
make fortune. No Populst ofElemo-
crat expects a chance at the public
patronage under the present republican
board, but it has aroused the indigna-
ton OF many of the republicans to learn
that a. few Medicine Lodge politicians
get everything at their own price. I'm
derstand us, Mr.. Nay, we do not con-
tend that you are violating the law in
catering to the demand of the bosses,
but you are falling far below what even
your friends expected of you.
We hope you will come with another
ANSWER" You show your hand over
your own signature much better than
the INDEX could. In one thing Mr..
Nay is wiser than his pard, Rankin.
Mr.. Nay makes no public pledges,
therefore when the big Four'' say
right-about-face, he can whirl around
without violating any promise he made
TO his constituents. He has the laugh
on Hugh in that respect.
L. S. BY the way, Bro. Nay, will
you be kind enough to answer those
questions we propounded May 9th, in
your next. We published your IAN
swer' and would like the privilege of
publishing another if it is equally as
frank. 1t seems to us that you ought
now to show sufficient spirit of fairness
to answer ours.

FREE HOMES FOR OKLAHOMA.

The people of Oklahoma are rejoic-
ing over the success of the free homes
bill. 1t passed the senate and was
signed by President Mckinley last
Thursday. The citizens OF the terri
tory can well feel fortunate for this de.
served recognition. 1t will put thous-
ands of needy families on their feet, so
to speak, and many of them can now
say what they have never said before
that they own home.

We dislike to give so much
space to one man who isn't
even a subscriber, but who
reads the INDEX every week
free of charge, but it seems
that the commissioner of the
Second district wants notori-
ETY. so long as it doesn't cost
him any more than the ever
lasting disgust of the public;
hence to treat him fairly we
yield considerable space this
week and in so doing we re-
turn good for evil, in that we
are granting his request
whereas We are always ig-
nored when we ask for JUS
tice from him as county COM
missioner.

Commissioner Nay says he
does not know that Commits
sioner Rankin is on record on
county printing. Another
misrepresentation. Mr.. Rank
in admitted it in the presence
of Mr.. Nay at the April meet
ing of the board. This is i'm
material, but we simply cite
it as another instance in
which Nay prevaricates in an
attempt to square himself and
his colleague with the public.

The republicans promise

empty promise; same old hyp.

Geo. Nay says he never
stated that he would not be
dictated to by politicians, if
elected commissioner. In that
event he must have had his
instructions prior to his cleo

here in Medicine Lodge who
says he heard him make such
a statement, just the same.

The republican party, in

adulterated gall and rank
Inconsistencies. For instance.

if and denounces trusts in
the next paragraph. Of
course they wisely refrain
from saying in what way thew
are opposed to trusts and a1ly
well informed man knows
that the extent of the opposi-
ton is very limited. If the
republican party really wants
the people to believe its pro.
iesslons, the first thing that
Ut should do is to get away
from a protective tariff and
gold monometallism. AS
long as they adhere to these
they can't pose as an antitrust
party.

The Populist national plat
form adopted by the Sioux
Falls convention is published
in the INDEX this week. 1t
speaks for itself and needs no
commentator from us. We
have only to say that if the
principles it advocates were
part of the organic law of
the land today there would
be no inequality among the
American people and every
citizen would have the OPP
portunity. It is our inten-
ton to keep this platform
constantly before our readers
as we did the st. Louis plat
form adopted by the Populist
convention foug yearsago. By
perusing a party's platform
the voters know what the
party advocates, and no read
er of the INDEX need be in
the dark as to what a vote for
Peoples party candidates sig
niles.
