in the DEMOCRAT; not because it
is our paper, but because it is the
peoples paper, recognized as the
leading paper OF the county, and
known to have more readers
than any other paper published
in Barton county. The DEMO
GRAFT has ever been found work
ing to build up the, interests of
| Great Bend and Barton county,;
it has made many a thankless
effort to interest our people in
matters OF general good; it has
treated all men fairly-making
the same rates to all, and abso-
lutely refusing to fill it's columns
with cheap stuff from foreign ad-
vertisers just because the stuff is
offered at a rate in many cases
less than half what the local ad-
vertiser is asked to pay. It has
gained the favor of the public by
loyalty to public interests. Re
member this: Space in the DEM
OCRAT costs you no more than
it costs anyone else, and your.
ad. in this paper reaches more
intelligent, thrifty, liberal mind
ed people than it would reach in
any other paper in the county.
ONE of the most pleasing
things which one may note these
days is the growing inclination
to treat other denominations
as if they were worthy of a place
on the map. An instance in point
is that of the address of Arch
bishop Ireland at Hartford, Con-
necticut before the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union. He
spoke at length of the good
work done by that organization
but did not fail to give similar
societies in other churches proper
credit for the good work which
they are doing. This is as it
should be. 1t is foolish for the
churches to try to lead people to
follow Him who preached "peace
on earth and good will toward
men, when the same churches
are fighting each other every
day in the year. Archbishop
Ireland's example is in line with
the progressive spirit of a pro-
gressive age.-Fort Scott Ian
tern.
The Kansas City Times is not
strengthening itself in the minds
of the honest, consistent demo-
Gratis of Kansas-the working
democrats-by giving space to
articles by Eugene Hagen, of To-
peka, and quoting him as ga
prominent democrat of Kansas.
Hagen is a constituencies cOrpo-
ration lawyer, who has time and
again attempted to sell out the
democrats in the interests of re-
publicans, and who has not for
years been in the cOunsels of the
democratic party. The rank and
file, the men who furnish the
votes, do not relish the Hagen
hog-wash-he had best use it on
the herd he has been wallowing
with for the past ten years.

Here is a thought for young
men: When times grow hard

bound to come-the employer
must cut down the number of his
employees. He will naturally cut
off the poorest workers first. Il
you would hold your job when
the letting out time comes, why
hustle.
A preacher in an eastern town
recently got all the women at a

it. He simply said: ''Will all

wearing SO cent hats need not

that every hat in the house came
off without further suggestion.

Editors who receive cOmpli-
