This extra matter alone exceeds the

In speaking of the fact that
the State treasury has gone
dry the republican papers,
when they speak of it, which
is mighty seldom, attribute it
to the legislature having
made too low a tax levy. Of
course that is their way. But
all the same if they would ad.
nit that it was the allowing of
too many appropriations like
the $1,000 allowance to Theo-
docius Botkin that has
brought about this condition
of the treasury, the people

The fact that the Index re.
ceived legal rates for county
printing in 1896-the only
time it ever did receive legal
rates-seems to worry the
Cresset unduly. For it's bene-
tit we might state that the
Index was a company paper
at that time and the present
publishers worked on a sala-
ry. Hence it is to be hoped
that our contemporary will
keep its garments on while
we explain that we did not
profit on account of the fact
that the Index received legal
rates. We don't think this is
an issue in the campaign but
our friend is seemingly in
distress and this is intended
to sooth him. We assure him
that we are now aud always
have been short in cash.

There is a man somewhere
between this place and Har-
per county who says he would
support the Independent can

Painter d Herr were not an.
archists. He is a substantial
man too, and his statement is
astonishing on account of his
standing in the county. We
do not think be made this
statement in a sober moment
understanding the term he
used. He evidently did not
weigh his words or he does
not know the meaning of the
word "Anarchy." Too many
men have al idea that oppos-
ing the party in power is an
archy, and when our friend
was called upon to explain
what he meant by his state
ment he said that we oppos
ed the election Of President
Mckinley who was lately as
sassinated. Our opposition to
Mckinley, he thought, would
have been entirely proper if
Mckinley had not been assas-
sinated, but on account of his
assassination they are out Of
place. This shows a lack of
fairness aud poor reasoning.
We believe that an individu.
al or newspaper has a right
to his political opinions at all
times. That does not say,
however, that they have a
right to uphold crime. 1t is
their duty to condemn it,
wherever and whenever it
manifests itself, just as the
Index did when Gov. Goebel
and President Mckinley were
assassinated. If the Cresset's
friends have a right to say
that we are anarchists on &C.
count of the fact that a iend
shot President Mckinley, fol
lowing the same reasoning,
our friends have a right to
say that the Cresset publish.
ers are anarchists on account
of the killing of Gov. Goebel.
Such talk is all foolishness.

1t should be understood
that the republican candi-
date for county printer is
making his campaign on the
merits of the law. The indie.
pendent candidate opposes it.
1t the republican candidate
is successful it must be taken
for granted that the people
want the law and are willing
to pay for the high prices
and additional cost of county
printing the law provides.
Ii the people endorse this
law they have no right to
ask the legislature to repeal
it, and the chances are that
the legislature would pay lit
tie attention to such a re-
quest under such circum-
stances. If, however, they
elect the candidate who is
opposed to the law they have
a right to ask the legislature
to repeal it, and the legisla-
ture is in duty bound to act
accordingly.

STRONG PRESSURE.

1t seems that the entire republican
machine of the state is centering its en-
ergies on the special election in Barber
county this fall. The personal influence
of Chester /. Long has been working
for several weeks and now comes the
Information that Morton Albaugh,
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee and state bank commits
siOner, is flooding the county with let
tels appealing to republicans to vote
for Mr.. LortOn, the republican candi-
date. This is very unusual to say the
least. Mr.. Albaugh is out Of his proper
sphere. We do not believe the people
Of Barber county are in need OF any adj
vice from Topeka. The Topeka fellows
don't help to pay taxes here-why
should they say what laws we should
endorse. Mr.. Albaugh's put ln'' looks
very significant. When We take into
consideration tho amount of money
that can be squeezed out OF this new
office, We have right To draw conclu-
siOns. If the state committee is suffici-
emily interested in our local campaign
to send out letters, il is probably inter
ested sufficiently 10 put some money in

THE DIFFERENCE.

The republican candidate for county
printer is still trying To prove that we
favored measure similar to his pres
ent county printer law, and in his ar
gument he says that the present law
and the Titus general bill OF 1897 are
similar. AS matter of fact there is a
wide difference between the TWO. The
Titus bill reduced the rates to 60 per
cent, did not contain the county pur.
chasing agent clause and provided for
the submission of the proposition to
the people before it became law. The
Lorton law allows straight legal rates
on most of the printing and reduces it
% and 20 per cent on part Of it. 1t also
makes the county printer absolute die
tatOr in the matter of blank books, JOB
work and stationery and leaves him to
fix his own price. 1t does not allow the
people the privilege of voting as to
whether they want the law or not. 1t is
forced on the people with its excessive
rates whether they want 1t or not.
The Titus bill applied to every county
II viz obolOs uC 1LOl law dppIIGS ~
Barber county alone. The Titus bill
did not interfere with an existing con-
tract. The new Barber county law
does. The present contract does not
expire until May l, 1902, but the
new law makes the term OF the printer
elect begin in January. This deprives
the present county printer of half of
his years work.
From a careful consideration Of these
facts it must be concluded that there Is
no similarity between the Titus gener-
al bill which the Independent candi.
date endorsed in 1897 and the special
Barber county law which he now Op.
poses.
Our opponent makes the broad state
ment that our admission that we en-
dorsed the Titus bill is a confession
that we have been Lying" We defy
him to prove that we have lied" in
this matter. We never at any time said
we opposed the Titus general bill. Mr.
Lorton said that we tried to get spe
cial law for Barber county at the time
Harper and Barton got their law. Thi:
we denied and Senator Titus bears u!
out in our statement. However, if W,
had endorsed that law, we could still
oppose the present one with con
sistency. Those laws were first sub
mitted to the people before coming ef
fectlve and their rates we're reasonable
The fact is that the Cresset's pubhca
tion of the Titus letter has strengthen
ed us. When Lorton first wrote to III
tus he did not use his business lette
heads, thus concealing his identity
and stated that be was close friend o
Mr.. Herr's and wanted to assist him il
his campaign. We don't think that h,
was in good faith but it has shelped III
wonderfully. Many thanks.

Otis Lorton, Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
Dear Sir: l have just been handed a
copy of your paper, Medicine Lodge
Cresset, of October 18th, In which you
publish copy of my letter of Sept. IS,
and note your comment on same. In
justice to Mr.. Herr 1 desire to state
that my letter referred, generally, to
the 1897 and 1899 sessions of the legis-
lature. A few days after the election
OF 1896, met Mr.. Herr and Senator
Lands in Medicine and the subject of
a general county printer bill was dis
cussed. l introduced bill along the
lines of our discussion, providing for
submission to the voters of each coun-
ty before becoming law, the election
of county printer by vote of the people,
and reduction las l now remember) to
40 Or 80 per cent of the legal rates, and
the question of blank books and sta
tionery was left with the county COM
missioners. The principles of this bill
were good populiSt doctrine. 1t was
concerning this bill that l had the cor
respondence with Dir. Herr. On &C
count of such great opposition among
the larger counties the bill failed of
passage, and at the 1859 session anoth-
er bill was introduced along the
lines as heretofore outlined, ex
cept it was only to apply TO counties
having population between 1900 and
4 4
ty. The opposition to this was such
that finally had the bill' amended TO
include Harper and Barton counties
and the rates raised to so per cent of
legal ra.es-our county, Harper, had
been paying legal rates for number of
years. / HAD NO CORRESPONDENCE
