of the country are held in the clutch
of plutocracy. The very sources of
public knowledge are poisoned. 1t
is the daily business of the daily
press, with few lingering exceptions,
to misinform.
The colleges of the country are fall
ing under the same evil influence. One
after another four of the most learned
college professors in the country have
been dismissed because their teachings
did not suit the millionaires who had
showered some Of their i'll got wealth
upon them with the tacit understand
ing that they should be subservient t.
monopoly. Other colleges, in the hope
of rich gifts, are as obsequious tc
milliopaires as a eunuch slave to the
Sultan of Turkey And the church
itself has not escaped the influence of
the evil power.
The public man therefore, who
would antagonize the evil tendencies
of the time, must look to meet the
power of money, of corporate monopo-
ly, and of the daily press, and some
times even to be Numbered at from
the pulpit Unless politician be ex.
ceptionally strong and brave, he will
seek the favor of the organized power
of evil, rather than that of the scattered
and undisciplined forces of righteous
ness.
The hope of the country is that the
madness of greed will bring a reaction
and call the people to arms agains
their oppressors. Then, on some othe1
Fourth of July, there will be another
Declaration of Independence.

The platform adopted by the Ohio

LOOKING AHEAD.
A young giant is waking up in
Columbia We do not mean to give
the youngster any taffy or to spoil him
by hattery, or to encourage too rapid
development of the size of his head at
the expense of the healthy growth of
the body; but if we may encourage
him to serious thought and noble effort
and healthy exercise, ~ that is our pur-
pose.
The Retail Clerks Association Of
Columbia is ii young giant, not yet
wide awake but beginning to stretch
his limbs little. What he will do
when he gets well on his feet, remains
to be seen. What he can do, is limit
ed, practically, by his desires. He
can take hold of any good work or
needed improvement, and accomplish
it. If he wants school for boys, he
will have it, If he wants one or more
manufacturing establishments, he will
make the inducement to meet their
demands If he wants the town severed,
it will be done. If he wants the saloons
closed at sun down, they will close
If he wants park somewhere in the
suburbs and an electric car line run
ming to it, these will appear upon the
map as if by magic. His youth and
enthusiasm, energy and strength are
irresistible. if he first plants himself
upon the solid ground of Right
He should be careful not to take hold
of wild schemes. He should not
waste his strength in political strife OF
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; personal tc
himself or personal to a few of his
friends. He should be exceeding care
full not to entangle himself with pro
moters' who seek to prey upon the
public for their own selfish purposes.
But if this young giant will pin his
faith to Columbia and make her future
development his steadfast purpose, he
will be no less delighted than surprised
at his own strength and power.
What Columbia has needed for a long
time, was somebody to take hold and dc
something for the general public good
Our business men are so busy making
money for themselves, that with one
accord they let the town take care Of
itself. 1t is not lack of interest upor
their part, or any unwillingness tx
help; not any real lacking in a spiri
of enterprise and progressiveness
abstractly speaking the spirit is will
ing but the flesh is weak. What il

young giant is cut out for he has thu
strength and enthusiasm of youth, an,
yet is he not lacking in experience.

FRANKLIN PROMISED A NEW

pared, and that work on new depot
will begin in a few days. The new
structure will be commodious, we'll

ture, convenient in it's appointments

with proper pride as an ornament to

for this depot; we've clamored for it
loudly and not always in the mildest,
most euphemistic terms, but now we re
ready to call it square and quit

HawssysHrod.


The farm residence of Mr.. and Mrs,
J. B. Ellrod, eight and one-half miles
south of this city, in Glenwood town
ship. Kansas, was the scene OF a
matrimonial event, Wednesday after
noon, the 5th inst, that was marked
by its simplicity and effectiveness.
The contracting parties were Miss
Georgia L. Ellrod, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Ellrod, and Mr..
Joe Hawley, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Hawley. all residents of Glenwood
township.
The ceremony occurred at $3.50 p. m.
in the spacious parlorS of the new and
eommodious residence of the ElIrods,
in the presence only of relatives and a
very limited number of invited guests.
Rev. J. w. JaFboe, of Lovewell, KanS.,
in brief, but impressive service per-
formed the ceremony, and in this re-
gard he is to be commended on the
method he purSues in these delicate,
but important matters.
The bride was dressed in white or
candle, tastefully trimmed. The
groom wore the conventional black,
and both appeared at their best. An
unusual ornament, to the writer, was
delicate cap of white gauze worn by
the bride, following the tenets of the
Dunkard church, of which she is a
devoted member.
After hearty and sincere congratu-
lations, the wedding party were seated
to supper that did full Justice to the
cuisine accomplishments of the Ellrod
household. The table was taStefully
decorated with flowers and glass,
while the menu was unsurpassed.
Rich and toothsome viands of the
subStantials and delicacies of the sea-
son were much appreciated by the
guests. Following the repast pleas
ant social hour was spent, when we
were compelled to leave the festive
scene and the evenings enjoyment
following, which gave promise of
mirth and pleasure for the number
that remained.
The bride is we'll known to the peo-
pie of this -Glenwood townships,
where the family has resided for sew
eral years. She is a young lady of
many virtues and christian graces.
That she will prove a loving and
faithful helpmate in all that the words
imply is the accepted comment. The
groom is a sturdy, industrious and
worthy son of excellent parents, a
native of GlenwOOd fOwnShin and a
young man of more than ordinary
promise. He is now located at Wash
ington, Kansas, as the travelling rep
resentative of the Baker Remedy Co.,
to which place the newly married
couple will remove in few days to
begin a new life. They will carry with
them the best wishes of an admiring
circle of friends. who will ever hope
for their happiness and prosperity.

the people would get refined oil at two

cording to the best lawyers of the
state there never was a more botched-

right. The township officers and COM

UnanswerabIe Questions.

In 1873 the republican party stopped
the coinage of silver. For five years
this country, flied with hard-work-
ing, energetic. intelligent men and
women, was swept with the bosom of
destruction. Disaster and distress in
creased until the coinage efsilver was
resumed in 1878. Twenty years after
ward in 1898 the republican party, as
sisted by minority of the democratic
party, again stopped the coinage of
silver. Five years more of such dis
tress as the world never before saw
followed and there was no let-up to it
until Mckinley began to coin silver
and coin it in larger quantities than
ever poured out of the minis since the
minis were established. Then times
suddenly changed. Prosperity came
back to the desolate homes of toiling
American citizens. These are facts
known of all men. Yet there are mil
lions of men SO partisanly insane that
they would walk up to the polls to-
morrow and cast a ballot to stop the
coinage of silver again if the republi-
can party should put such demand
in its platform and ask them to do it.
The Independent asks every sane man
to stop and think over this matter. Is
there any answer to the known facts?
Can any man make reply? Why is
it that millions of men in the most in
telligent nation on earth will vote to
bring destruction upon themselves
and their wives and children for the
sake of a party name? Why is it that
they seem to go insane when one tries
to reason with them?. They get ex-
cited, yell at the top of their voices,
grow red in the face and act just like
lunatieS?
Twice has congress stopped the
coinage of silver. Twice has panic
and destruction followed. Twice has
the resumption of the coinage of sill
yer Immediately relieved the distress.
No sane or honest man will deny these
statements. Yet millions would again
vote to stop it.. The Independent con-
feSses that it is unable to give any
reasons why men so act. 1t confesSes
it's ignorance of the psychological law
that moves men when they do such
things. There is a reason for the poll
ticianS doing such things. They hope
to get Office. But the millions who
never expect to get Office, why do they
act that way? Perhaps the whole
matter had better be referred to the
psychological department of some of
the great universities and get report
upon it.--Nebraska Independent.
