Hamlin Garland got the idea which was to de-
velop into THE Captain of the Gray Horse
Troop recently published by the Harpers as far
back as 1891 At that time he went in company
with a young lieutenant who was stationed at
Fort Custer 10 see him inspect drove of cat
tie which lad been brought into the Crow Ind
ian agency for sale TO the government. for the
use of rhe Indians. The lieutenant, noting the
poor condition of the animals. rejected the en-
tire herd, in spite OF the demonstrative anger
of the cattlemen. Mr.. Garland impressed
by the undaunted action and few words Of the
young army officer, and the character of Cap
tain Curtis took form in his mind. 1t set him
wondering as TO the possible power of a man like
that If ne appointed Indian agent. The
lieutenant who inspired the thought is now a
captain, and is the head of the Forestry De-
esrtrnent IN the Philippines

A SYNDICATE TO PROMOTE VICE.

Philadelphia dispatch to the St. Louis Re-
public states that wholesale arrests made in
that city promise to reveal the inner workings
of an international syndicate of vice, which
has thriven upon the shameless barter of young
girls who have been forced to America only to
be handed over to bondage worse than phys.
ical slavery.
Were it not that the facts have been elected
by sucn responsible authorities as the director
of public safety and his corps of detectives, by
the German consul to Philadelphia, Ferdinand
Ritschl, and by Rabbi Joseph Kranskopf and
other leading divines and retormers, whose sin.
cerity cannot be impugned, the revelations al
ready made, and those which are confidently
promised, would seem well nigh improbable.
police, II3 persons were arrested almost smul-
taneously. Of these, three are held as men
who are believed to have been active agents in
conducting the affairs OF the nefarous synd-
cate-an organization that stretches its banetul
tentacles throughout Europe and Great Britain
and scatters its thousands OF victims through
out New York, Philadel lphia and other great
cities.
When the 100 miserable girls who were ar
raigned before the magistrate, the director of
public safety said to the magistrate "Make
these girls tell the truth. They did not come
to such life of their own free will. We have
evidence that band exists that has for its pur.
pose the Turing of young girls from their homes
and selling them into lives of shame. 1t ex-
tends from Philadelphia to New York and to
the other side of the Atlantic. We want to
break up this wholesale traffic in human souls
and punish the men who have reaped the
profits from such revolving trade"
Nearly all the girls are foreigners, and most
of them are Germans.

THIRD PARTY ELIMINATION

For the first time in many years there is no

sock!ess feet, wild.eyed reform ideas, govern
men, ownership and the thousand and one crazy
schemes which have made the West tine laugh.

cap and bells for the world, have gone-let it he
hoped never to return Again the government
is entirely in the hands of the politically san".-
Topeka Herald.
The above sounds like the bowling of the
old pro-slavery Democracy of fifty years ago.
The Republican party was then the third party:
its members weie called woolly heads, '"nigger
lovers" "cranks, "demagogues, wild-eyed
lnnatics" and every other vile name that the
spirit of the bitterest intolerance could suggest.
Lincoln was member of that third party. So
were Charles Sumner, John Brown, Wendell
Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison. Lincoln
was called "bufoon," "long-armed ape" !"
Phillips and Garrison were branded as 'insane
ranters." John Browns love of human lib.
er,y cost him his life. The same spirit that
prompted the writing of the editorial in the
Herald tried, through the vigorous use of
cane on Charles Sumner, to drive the "thild
party" cut of congress. Of the twelve surviv-
ors of the men who helped to organize the Re-
publican party in Michigan, under the shade Of
big oak tree at Jackson, fifty years ago, nine
are now members of third party. An editor
who sneers at men like Jerry Simpson, simply
because they differ from him in pclitice, and
then cuddle down in the same old party bed
with such men as ]. R. Burton and Tom Kelley,
justi6es the presumption that, should he be
elected to congress, the ranks of the sane in
that body would be broken. A Republican
Legislature, according to the Herald's recent
statement, adopted our present infamous election
law for the purpose of cheating, defrauding and
defeating its political opponents. The Herald
need not worry about the question of sanity of
our lawmakers What our country needs is
lawmakers who are HONEST. Through that
outrageous election law, the Republican party
has robbed the people of free ballot and fair
count. It has not only done that, but it is now
trying to steal member of the legislature from
Barber county, when every decent man, farnll-
lar with the facts, KNOWS that his Democratic
opponent was honestly elected. A newspaper
training with such party ought to sing mighty
low about "whiskers, hayseed, sockless feet

We are not even permitted to vote for presi-

of the Constitution never intended that the
people should have any voice in the election of
a presiden., but that electoral college should
select the president independently of the peo-
pie. The people have patty defeated that

of our presidents have received a majority of
the votes of the people, and several times the
will Of the people, even as imperfectly express
ed in our present clumsy system, has been dis

Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of science and
art is finer and better than ever is stating it
mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all
previous years. To say that such results, reach
ing through thirty years, are not based on
sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the
intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his famous
family and scientific Journal, Word and Works,
is doing work for the whole people not ap-
preached by any other man or publication. A
fair test will prove this to any reasonable per-
son. Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms and
weather are given, as never before, for every
day in the year, all charmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engravings. The price Of
single Almanac, including postage and mail
ing, is thirty cents. Word and Works with the
Almanac is $I.oo year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 22o1 Locust Street, St.
Louis, Mo-, and prove to yourself their great
value.
