father in the state had to go down in
his pockets for from FIVE to fifteen dollars

might have used had not the republican

changed the books in use in the state.
This expense falls eaYiest on the poor

Look at the Qnantrill raid claims, the

These are what plunged the state into

A Bad Stomach.

Otis Lorton, who wanted to be elected
county printer but got very emphatic
veto from the people. is very much put
out because the present county printer
was paid for doing the work, and in his
paper last week he asks that the county
commissioners be sued for double the
amount. We know that 1t hurts the
Cresset outfit very much that this Office
occasionally gets dollar and we would
do anything to relieve Mr.. Lortoc' g
bellyache. We would suggest castoria
and soothing syrup. II that don't work
try nox vomica as last resort but be
careful not to take an overdose.
Seriously, though, We Will agree to
turn this money back to the county if
the Cresset people will pay back what
they have drawn. II We are not entitled
to be paid for our work we want the
rule to work the same way on them.
The county printer complied with the
law in every respect. Any statement
made to the contrary is false. We
have some written opinions from law
yers IN several Of the largest cities In
the state and We are not worrying.
But let the Cresset push start a suit
against the commissioners If they want
to. If they have to be 'shown" it will
be our special delight to ''show" them.

If there is single thing in Billie
Haun's makeup that dIsqualifies him
for the sheriff's office we would like for
some of his political enemies to point
it out. He has been up against the
rough edge of life for some years and
knows few things about humanity.
He is naturally of a quiet disposition
but when he makes up his mind to do a
thing he always does it regardless of all
obstacles. He has never been known
to wrong his fellow man and as an Off

Not a Republican.

Albert Hada was nominated for
constable of Eagle township by the re-
publican party without his knowledge or
consent. He learned 1t last Friday when
it was too late to keep his name off the
official ballot, and it will appear there.
However, he says he wants 1t under
stood that he has never been republi-
can, is not one now and will not vote
the republican ticket this fall. He
does not want to be elected as a repub-
lican and the republicans who vote for
him believing hum to be republican are
very foolish. This is one case in which a
little dlnky nomination didn't work"

The Topeka Capital recently with
gisring headlines declared that Mr..
C1ddoek's ITO Do Right" pamphlets
which have played such havoc with the
republican majority in Kansas, ware
printed in non-un!on shop. The Tyr
|ographical Union of Topeka has q
worse grievance than this against Mr..
Albaugh in the fact that the republican
campain booklet was made in the
plant of the State Printer and tsgetting
out was made as an assessment upon
the people in the shop. Every working
printer contributed his share, whether
ne was Democrat or Republican, to the
making of the Republican Campaign
Book. While the union label was place
I'D upon it not one union man in the
shop got single cent for his labor on
the book and he was locked for his
time while at work upon it Thus it is
that the republican managers play on
the gullibility of the people and at.
tempt to humbug them into the belief
that they are for the good of the people
and all the time their good pretens
es are only hypocritical. The chances
are that there will be few votes in the
State Printers establishment for Mr..
Bailey, Mr.. Albsugh's candidate for gov.
or nor.

New Use for Oil.

Many uses for Beaumont oil have
been discovered and many more will
be discovered butitis already known
although to a few, that it it is IA good
food for hogs and fattens them al
most as well as COW peas. Hogs
seem to like it, and whenever and
wherever given a chance will drink
it greedily. This is no fairy tale or
fish story; it is true, and there are
gentlemen living now i'm Beaumont
whose veracity can not be doubted,
and who will state, if asked, that
they have seen with their own eyes
hogs drinking it, and undoubtedly
fat-they will not swear that the oil
produced the fat, although they have
no reason to doubt it. Some time
ago a gentleman was standing by a
derrick on Spindle Top conversing
with another gentleman, the latter
a driller, all around them oil lay
scattered about in little pools; while
waiting a SOW and her brood of
young came strolling up, and, to
the amazement of one of the two
men, plunged their shouts into the
oil and began to drink their fiji. 81
have often seen them drink it, they
like it, said the driller The Jour
nal has a good number of readers
who are farmers and the above may
interest them. III it fattens hogs,
1t is cheaper than pumpkins, corn
or COW peas and is therefore deserv-
ing of trial. Liquid food for hogs
may soon be on the market. Beau

THE Ennis Journal complains
that much of the cotton and the
trade thai should come to Ennis is
going to other towns, and accounts
for it by reason of the farmers leav-
ing their cotton on the yards and
selling by sample. II says that buy
ers will not pay as much for cotton
where they see only a sample as
they will when they are allowed to
sample the bale themselves. In our
opinion the Journal is in error.
Very little cotton is sold in this city
on the streets. The farmer leaves
his cotton on the yard and sells al
most entirely by sample. If Ennis
Is not getting her share of the cotton
and the trade the fault lies with
some one other than the cotton
