The poor farm in this
county seems to be develop
ing into a good sized ele.
plant on the hands of the
taxpayers. Besides bearing
the expense of keeping up
the farm, adding new build
ings and being deprived of
the taxes it would yield if
not owned by the county,
the commissioners at every
meeting have between 5000
and 500 pauper expense on
their hands. A number of
the leading taxpayers of the
county have asked the Index
to suggest that all paupers
that can be moved to the
poor farm ought to be taken
there and maintained. It is
a little late to get in with
suggestions, as the lease is
already drawn up and the
manager engaged, but if the
provisions of the lease are
strictly enforced the burden
can be considerably alleviat-
ed. The prices to be paid for
the care of sick and bedrid.
den patients, under the terms
of the new contract, are less
than the county has been in
the habit of paying. AS
an institution, the poor farm
thus far has been an absolute
failure and we doubt whether
it can be made a success un-
der the best possible manage
ment.

Judge Horton, the former
chief justice of Kansas, was
the attorney for the Stock
yards Co., in it's fight against
the Kansas law, reducing
charges. He received $780,
900 for his services and the
company figures it an insig-
nificant sum compared with
what the decision will make
in II year. All that money
will be paid by the stockmen
OF this western country.
Judge Horton is not to be
blamed; that's his business.
But what must be said of the
people who will keep on vot-
ing for such results.

sTockYARDs WIN.

The Kansas City Stockyards Co.,
won their suit in the United States SUI
preme court after having been defeated
in the state courts and the u. s. CIR
cunt court.
In the winter of 1897 the Kansas leg
islature passed a law reducing the
charges made by the stockyards. Yard.
age and feed prices were reduced to a
point where shippers were not actually
held up and robbed. The reduction
was not unreasonable. The stockyards
were still left to realize great profit and
the only objection that was ever made
to the law was that charges were not
reduced sufficiently. But the company
went into court Immediately with the
result that the state won out in both
the state court and the q. S. Circuit
court. The case was then appealed to
the U. s. Supreme court and last week
a decision was rendered in favor of the
company and making the law null and
void.
Is it any wonder that the people of
this country are losing confidence IN the
supreme court? The nine men who
compose that tribunal are nothing less
than m0rarchs. Their term of Office
is lifetime. They are the highest au-
thOrity in the land and their Judgment
is final. They are not concerned about
the wishes or the people because they
are not chosen by the people. They
are appointed by the President. and,
once appointed, their power is unlimit.
ed No matter what lower courts or
juries may do, the supreme conrt has
The power to undo 1T all; no matter
what congress or legislatures may do.
the supreme court can annul it.. The
people may labor for years to secure re
form measures looking toward protec-
ton from the encrOacbment of organic
I'd wealth, yet one stroke of a pen in
the hands OF Supreme Judge vitiates
it all.
1t is idle to censure the individuals
who compose the court, although they
are open to censure. When we take
into consideration their environments,
their elevation above the masses, their
unlimited power. their lifetime saIa.
ries, their lack of sympathy with the
producers of the country, it is no Won
der that their official acts lean toward
the side of wealth. The system Is what
we must attack if we would be free.
The supreme judges should be elected
by the people as other officers are elect
ed. Their term of office should not be
for life and when their terms expire
they should not be put on life salary.
They should be made to understand
that they are public servants instead of
absolute rulers.
To accomplish this, the constitution
must be amended, and the only poiti-
cal party in existence that opposes such
an amendment is the republican party.
This decision will cost the stockmen
and farmers of this country many mill
ions of dollars, and yet there are those
who will continue to vote their party
ticket and suffer the tax. How long
will it be until the people will rise
above such partisan idolatry and vote
for the interests of the Preside and pos
terlty!

Nathan Woodward colored, famili-
arly known AS Uncle Nate" died
Monday morning of last week Mt Bask
ing Ridge, at the age of / 10 years. He
had been enjoying good health up to
two weeks ago, when the hot wave
struck New Jersey. Since then he
had been complaining, and steadily
declined until the eud.
Nate was born at Whitehouse, Hun
terdon County, and was owned by
Simon Wyckoil, who sold him to
Matthew Woodward The sale was
made when Nate was Young boy,
aud his name, Woodward, he got
from his mnstor. Woodward had Nate
do work ON his fnrm aud also help i'll
his grist mill
Nate, after working for this master
until he had grown into strong lad,
was traded to s. Barckalow, who
owned the Lord Stirling Farm Barck-
allow gave Woodward yoke Of oxen
for the slave. Nate turned on his
master, Woodward one time and
gave him a severe drnbbing. Wood
ward was afterward timid in giving
Nate orders and soon after made the
! above exchange with Barekalow.
In 1908 n law was passed in New
Jersey providing that all persons III
seryitude in the State who were under
the age Of twenty five years should
when they attained that age, be free
While with Barckalow Nate was freed
under that law, but lie continued TO
work on the Stirling Farm for several
years later, when he married Sarah, a
slave owned by Mr.. Bedell at Baski ing
Ridge. He became Bedell's coach
man. Sarah died about eighteen
/ years ago, at the age Of ninety.
Sarah was one Of the three slaves in
the State to be freed by Lincoln's
| emancipation proclamation.
Nate had been supported by Der
nards Township since being unable &c
work. His death took place ut tn,
home OF George Apgsr The body
was inferred in the grave Of hi
