Dead Again.

The peoples party is dead once
more, for John Q. Royce says so. He
has practised announcing the death of
this party SO often in the past ten
years that it comes easy to him now.
However, it must be admitted that
Royce has a ''good heart" in him. He
proves it by his tender solicitude for
the fate of the poor misguided fools''
as he would call them, who make up
the voting strength of the party. He
wants to gather the dear fellows all
! into the republican fold, and by slab
bering flattery all over them, hopes to
corral them all excepting few fellows
who were never anything but ''naSty
old democrats anyway" Truly, Bro.
Royce's great heart is bursting with
sympathy-alTf for an 81, 800 postoffice.
The following is a sample of his SYM
pathetic gush:
'Now where will Brother Weed go?
Will he be democrat, a republican,
OF will he take to the brush? And
what will Schuyler LandeS of Kirwin
do? Will he be delivered OF will he
stand up manfully for his principles?
Jim Tadlock will not be compelled to
turn any political sumersaultS nor as
Sociate with strangers. He has al
ways been a democrat, but has been
wearing a"pOpuliSt uniform for the
last ten years. There are a
few others in the county who will
have hard proposition to solve, but
they will be as consistent in whatever
they do as they have been since the
pop disease first broke out IN Kansas. -
Surely Bros. Weed and LandeS cam
not resist such a loving, tender ap-
peal? And the HERALD editor must
be regarded as incorrigible indeed to
be thus unfeelingly set out into the
democratic party without even being
consulted about the matter? But
seriously, now, isn't it an exhibition
of triple-strength gall for republican
editor, IN addition to bossing his own
party in the county, to presume to
boss the populiSts and democrats also,
coaxing and haunting them into going
into this party or that? Do you
think you can do it, Bro. Royce?

Stunt. Thomas's circular.

Supt. Thomas has issued a circular
to teachers and members of school
boards setting forth a few of the
reasons why this county ought to have
a county high school. AS it will make
as good reading for the taxpayers as
for the members of school boards we
publish it in full
PHILLIPsBURG, KAN, Mar. 80, 1901.
To All Friends Of Education:
We are sure that you are interested
in education, and we feel equally sure
that you will heartily endorse the
county high school proposition. Here
are some advantages to be gained by q
county high school:
FIRST. 1t will furnish the oppor-
tunity of an education for advanced
pupils of the county at q much less
cost than is now secured by sending
them away to college.
SECOND. Fifty per cent. more pu-
pills will be enabled to take advantage
of an advanced education than under
our present system.
THIRD. There will be about 200
applicants for common school diplomas
this year. A few of these will be able
to attend college, but large per cent.
will drop out of school unless some
provision is made for them.
FOURTH. A great many of our
teachers would take advantage of this
high school work and a more efficient
corps of teachers would be secured.
FIFTH The country schools would
be relieved of the advanced pupils who
demand much of the teachers time
and energy. The teacher would de-
vote more of her time to the impor-
tant work Of character building in the
lower grades; and in this way every
taxpayer in the sounty would be ben
flied by the better done in his school
Sixth. A tax levy for the support
of a county high school would be small
as compared to the moral and educa-
tional benefits to be received and in
the end it would be a splendid finan-
cial investment for the taxpayer.

the provisions of which have been
published in the. county papers.
The high school is not new feature

and local bills, providing for county
high schools in the following cotnties,
have been passed. Smith, Sherman,
Jewell, Washington, Pottawatomie
and Republic counties.
We, in Western Kansas, being far
removed from educational centers,
need this as stimulus to i5her schol-
arship.
The petition will be circulated in
your locality in few days and 1 hope
you will be in position to give it your
support.I
Trusting that you viii take an act

Yours for a stronger educational

Speed.

The smallpox epidemic which has
been in our vicinity for the past
month or SO, we hope has been check
ed permanently, as work time for ouI
farmers will soon be here and with
the best prospects for a full crop that
has ever smiled on this part of Kan
Sas in ten years, it is hoped nothing
in the way of sickness or disease will
cut short the crop which would GER
tainly come if the farmer is allowed to
show his industry little.

To Our Patrons and Friends

AS announced in our last weeks
HERALD, we begin today the issue of
the twice-a-week HERALD. The en-
enlargement we have received from
our patrons is gratifying indeed.
Those of our subscribers from whom
we have heard are enthusiastic for
the change, and especially commend
our efforts to give them the increased
news service at the same subscription
price. Some of our advertisers have
taken space in both editions of the
paper, and of those who continue
their advertisements once a week,
some will appear in the Tuesday and
some in the Friday issue. Each issue
of course reaches the entire list of
subscribers.
To all our patrons and friends we
wish to say that if you appreciate a
legitimate enterprise that is calculat-
ed to benefit Phillipsburg and Phillips
county we invite you to give the
twice-a-week HERALD your patronage.
and to encourage it by suggesting to
your neighborS and friends to patro.
niZe it also.

Pharmacy requires the services of
one where a person puts in a stock Of
medicines within five miles of a regis
tered pharmacist as the Board cam
not license a general store to handle
patent medicines, proprietary arti-
cleS and domestic remedies within
that distance of a registered pharma-
ciSt, and we understand the late legiS-
lecture gave the Board of Pharmacy
full power to enforce and make effec
tive all laws pertaining to said Board
and stricter enforcement of pharmacy
laws will be observed in the future
than in the. past, and this by no means
implies they have been stuck on viola-
tors in the past when the notice of
the Board was called to the matter.
We are reliably informed that Speed
ca n soon boast of an up to date gener-
al store with as large stock of goods
as any carried in the county, and that
the arrangements for building large
well lighted store room and base
ment with a hall above, has been
completed to the extent of having the
contract let and work will commence
as soon as the contractor can dispose
of contract he now has on his hands.
We heartily welcome the new store as
boom to our town and community
and we have always contended that
this town had one of the best locations
in Phillips county and the best loca-
ton in the state for several first class
stores, lumber yards and hardware
stores, as it is ten miles to town
that is able to offer any competition;
located in the best farming and stock
raising section in the state with good
roads coming to town from every di-
rection and good railroad facilities
which will be made as good as any in
the state this year by the Central
Branch being extended to Denver this
summer OF early fall.
There is all kinds of news this week,
but shall refrain from reporting it as
we have had very severe cold COM
plicated with the hen flew endways
which we deem sufficient excuse for
not writing mere, will do better next
ii re unless we suddenly succumb to
our ailment and accept a job as a
bumped back angel.

National Taxation.

The appropriations of the last con-
gress aggregate about 81, 800, 900, 900,
OF $3.50, 900, 900 year. This is practi-
cally SO per capita per year, and
places the United States among the
heaviest taxed countries in the world.
The per capita is larger than that of
Germany, but little less than England,
about the same as Spain and consider
ably larger than Italy, the last two
countries are generally supposed to be
the heaviest taxed in the world, but
France and Austria SurpasS both Of
them in this respect. The cost of sup
porting royalty and huge military es-
adjustments is accepted as good rea-
sons why the taxes of European mon
arches should be high, but without
either of these luXurieS the United
States managed to acquire nearly as
much money per head as any of them
and much more than majority of
them. The appropriations, heavy as
they are, narrowly escaped being
much larger. The Nicaragua canal
bill, which carried 500, 100000, the
river and harbOr bill, carrying $50, 0O0,
900, the ship subsidy bill and other
costly items did not succeed in becom-
ing drafts upon the public revenues,
but will doubtless have to be provided
for hereafter. If the schemes referred
to had been endorsed by congress this
would now stand in the catalogue very
close to the highest taxed country on
earth.
