Hon. w. G.. Afford, of Haz-

Hon. w. G. Afford, of Haz.
elton, was elected chairman
of the democratic county cen
trail committee on Saturday,
to succeed DR.. S. B. Corn, of
Kiowa, who left the county
last spring. Mr.. Afford is
one of the best hustlers in the
county and has been actively
engaged in politics for many
years. He was one of the
principal workers in last
years campaign and to him
is due a large share of the
credit for the success of the
campaign. The democrats
have made a wise selection
and no matter what his idea
Of the policy to pursue in
this falls local campaign may
be, the Index gives him cred
it for sincerity and honesty in
his motives. He is a thorn
which the republicans are
afraid to go up against.

standpoint the Index would
rather see the republicans

that Green has a habit of

and if he is nominated the
populists and democrats will
have a hard proposition on
their hands.

The fight between the pub
fishers Of the Index and Coun.
ty Attorney Griffin has brok-
en- out again. Last week the
county attorney had three
publication notices and failed
to give them to the Index, and
to save themselves the Index
issued an extra with an ex-
PLANTATION and the publication
notices. The trouble between
the parties interested dates
back from the time Mr.. Grit
fin first made the race for
county attorney. II the pub.
LEGATION notices are a part of
contract between Painter &
Herr and the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners, the matter
is not optional with the coun-
ty attorney where he may
publish his notices, and we
think he is stretching his au.
thority in refusing to recog-
nice the Index as the official
county paper. Simmere d
down it means either the con-
tract made between Painter
d Herr and the Board is no
good, or Mr.. Griffin has shout
dered authority which the
courts will not sustain him
in if ever taken to that tri.
bunal for settlement. No diff
ference what may be the trou-
bic between the parties nam,
ed the people of this county
should not be made a party
to it. The Index boys should
stand up for their rights and
demand of the county COM
missioners whatever is due
them under their contract

play.-Kiowa Review.

That our advancement in
the way of inventions is con-
stantly dispIacing labor is
shown by the biennial report
of the Labor bureau issued
last week. According to this
report there are a thou
sand less railroad employees
in Kansas than there were
two years ago. The reduc-
ton of the amount of wages
paid during that time is three
million dollars. This taken
in consideration with the
fact that railroad mileage,
business and rolling stock
have increased, proves that
new issues are constantly ar
rising which must be met.
The question of how to pro.
vide for the unemployed is
up and must be solved, and
the economic writer's and
teachers on this question are
worthy of the attention of
thoughtful people.

Perhaps the most striking feature

We think we know much; those who

The following is prematurely quoted

"On the eve of the twenty-frst cen

contrast the present with the past. All
are aware that gigantic strides have
been made recently in the direction of
nrogress but few realize that only
hundred years ago men travelled In
trains over the land and in ships over
the water; that they communicated
with each other by telegraph; that their
streets and houses were lit with gas or
with an early adaptation of electricity;
that coal was used in almost every
household; that hundred of millions
were spent in taking instead of In saw

superstition still bound our predeces-

bonds from us. As we walk in the

DIR. Johnson's Regard for Truth


1t was said of DR.. Johnson that he
always talked as though he were TAX
ing an OATH He detested the habit Of
lying or prevaricating in the slightest
degree, and would not allow his SER
wants to say he was not at home If he
was. "A servants strict regard for
the truth" said he, must be weakened
by such a practice. II accustomed

Pepper in Olden Times.

DR.. Adolph Miller, of Philadelphia,
President of the Pennsylvania My
Geological Club, in dissertation on the
pepper plant, says that during the
Middle Ages in Europe pepper was the
most esteemed and most important of
all the spices. Genoa, Venice and 9th
er commercial cities Of central Europe
were indebted to their traffic in pepper
for large part of their wealth. Its
importance as means of promoting
commercial activity and civilization
during the Middle Ages can hardly be
overrated. Tribute was levied In
pepper, and donations were made In
this spice, which was frequently also
used as medium of exchange in place
of money. When the imperial city of
Rome was besieged by Alaric, the
King of the Goths, in 40S A. D., the
ransom demanded included 5000
pounds of gold, 10000 pounds of silver
and 5000 pounds of pepper, illustrating
the Importance of this spice at that
time.
