AGlTATE.

The man who objects to the agitation of all
questions that concern the human race has
either All ak to grind or brain too small to fill
the cranium of a mouse. All advances along
the lines of knowledge come through agitation.
The teacher of any trut--scieuti6c, religious,
political is All agitator. The wise man listens
to the teacher, investigates, receives or regrets
as may suit his inclination OF selfinterest, or
his sense of right and wrong.
The greatest truths are met with the most
bitter opposition. That which excites no op.
position in the religious or political world is
not worth an investigation. That which has
no merit attracts no attention under ordinary
circumstances.
The doctrine of our fathers, that all men are
created free and equal, aroused the determined
opposition of nine-tenths of the civilized world
through the worlds kings. Politically applied,
it is the greatest truth that has ever been
launched That truth contains the germ of
the fatheihood of God and the Brotherhood of
man. That truth, applied practced-gives
the world the only true civilization.
"a house divided against itself cannot
stand" A nation divided into class and mass
--patrician and plebeian-plutocrat and pau
per-cannot stand.

AND STILL THEY COME.

Europe continues to pour her surplus popu-
laton into America. Nearly five hundred
thousand people landed at New York last year
We shall not take up the WORKOUT cry that
these immigrants are the ofscourings of Eu-
ropean countries. Europe sends us many fine
people. Liberty is advancing i'll European
countries and receding in America; and, strange
to say, there are more Americans, in proportion
to numbers, on the back track than Europeans.
No people have, or have had, monopoly of
ideas of free government, and the desire to be
happy ever lives in the breasts of all nation
alities.
The danger threatening labor in America is

WHO MADE HANNA?

Fom speech by Mr.. Gleed, published in
the Kansas Farmer, we learn that Lincoln was
not self-made man, or made by universities,
but that God made him.
If God made Lincoln, who made Hanna and
Quay? Or, for that matter, who made Bailey
and Burton?
1t is plain case that Lincoln and those
other men did not come from the same estab-
lishment. There is no resemblance, either
as to workmanship or material Lincoln's
mental or moral makeup was infinitely superior
to Quay's or Hanna's, and, in comparison,
Burton and Bailey are nincompoops.
Hanna and Quay are at the top of Repub-
lcan leadership, and Burton and Bailey at the
bottom.
Lincoln was for God and humanity. Hanna
and Burton are for the corporations. Lincoln
had heart, as we'll as head. Hanna and
and Quay have heads, but corporation gizzards
pump their blood. Lincoln lived for his fellow
beings. Republican leaders of to-day live for
the money there is in it. One was profound
statesman and patriot. The others are pro-
found rogues and Ilockhearts.

WHY NEWSPAPERS ARE DUNNERS.
Ii Farmers Were in the Same Position, They
Would Become Bald

Many men think that newspaper men are
persistent dunners. By way of comparison,
suppose that farmer raise 900 bushels of
wheat year, and sells this to 900 persons in
all parts of the country, great portion of
them saying, 81 will send you dollar in
a short time" The farmer does not want to
be small, and says "All right" Soon, the
1000 bushels are gone, and he has nothing to
show for it., and he then realizes that he has
fooled away his whole CROP and its value to
him is due him in thousand little driblets;
consequently, he is seriously embarrassed in his
business, because his debtors, each owing him
one dollar, treat it as small matter and think
it would not help him much. Continue this
kind of business year i'll and year out, as the
publisher does, and how long will he stand it?
moments thought will convince any one
that publisher has cause for persistent dun
ning.-Exchange.

NUMBER 7.

not that of ignorance and vicious tendencies,
but the over-supply of the labor market. The
problem laborng people are trying to solve is
how to supply employment at living wages.
Socialism solves the problem. Under Social
lsm' America has room for Europe's surplus
population without crowding her home people.
Under present conditions, an increase in popu-
lation means greater miseries for the masses.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-07-18

s'corner" rany necessity carries misery into
the homes of millions OF people.
We cannot class the "nerger" with the be-
nevolent. The man who overreaches his
neighbor in business transaction is not fol-
lower of the Divine Teacher.
War is organized butchery of our fellow
beings. Our saloons and drunkenness are de-
grading to our civilization.
There are many people who applaud all
those damnable things that ought not in com
mon humanity 10 be permitted to exist for
single day.
Mans thick headedness is another proof of
a dull ancestry Thick headedness compares
unfavorably with the little fish that flee from
the shark, or the deer that fees from the lion.
Some people like the sharks belly or the
lions stomach, but we could easily combine
forces and eat the shark or lion or, if we didn't
like to eat them, we could kill them and let
them rot.
Europeans flee from fhe lion of kings and
emperors, and land in the belly of the Ameri-
can shark. The American shark is "the Lords
aHHOlHteu III tue IlllHuS OF the nllnnOWS.
The Americans of 76 or the Beers of 1900
are we'll bred
If we must be eaten bv lions and sharks, let
them earn their morsels in either fights or foot
races.
God fights for the man that fights for himself,
and the race is not always to the swift.
Determined resistance tires.
Numbers on the right side win in the end.
Here and there, the battle of the ages is still
waged The Beers gave England tough
meal, and, like the Irishman's peaches, the
seeds Gle hard on the stomach"
Even the prey of the Gar of Russia is not
so delicious as formerly. The little fishes are
turning on the shark.
Nature teaches us that we develop what we
need by making use of the germ. The proof
is easily forthcoming. The blacksmith has
great muscles and the student has great brain
power. The power to fight grows with the
fighting. Let us fight more, and pray while
we resting. If we pray at all, the fighting
prayer is the prayer that overcomes.
Future generations will either laugh at our
folly or curse us for our stupidity.
We need not flee, and the battle to destroy
our enemy need net be of long DURATION Let
us quit being little fish or gentle gazeles. We
don't need sharks or lions. Both are lnonstros-

10 McDILL'S MUSINGS.

VOLUME I3.

A good many years ago, when Curtis was
editor of Harp,I's Weekly, a cartoon described
the different methods used in governing the
masses in Europe and America. In Europe,
the masses were driven with whips by men on
horseback. In America, the mass was led by
men in front, with strings attached to the noses
Now, that reminds me of another story.
A great many years ago, i'll southern Illinois,
there was great drouth, and food was exceed
iuply scarce. Near the old French settlement
of Kaskaskia there were large number OF wild
hogs As the story runs, good many OF the
hogs went blind from the shifting sands of the
mississippi bottoms. One time, settler was
out, anxiously hunting for game to eed the
starving settlers, and ran acros gang OF blind
hogs led by one seeing hog. The seeng hog
was leading the blind hogs to water. Each
hog grabbed the tail Of the hog in front, and
thus they marched in single file.
The hunter up with his rife and shot off the
tail of the seeing hog He then took up the
severed tail and led the blind hogs to corral.
Afterwards, there was feasting among the set
tiers for many days.
Both The cartoon and the story illustrate the
ease with which blind people are led, and it is
immaterial as to whether it is string or tail,
for the masses always land in the same place,
and make fat feasting for the idle loafers or the
busy mergers. 1t is all absolute fact that the
sands of passion and partisanism have so blind
ed many Americans to make it almost i1l-
possible to enlighten sufficient number of
voters to be able to carry forward the measures
OF government that tend toward progress and
larger liberty and happiness of the masses
There is no dscernabe reason why any
American voter should have a string in his
nose unless it be credulity Credulity will be-
l,eve any sort OF a story if the story is backed
by prejudice The least-nfornled have the
biggest bumps of credulity, and are subject to
the greatest outbursts of passion. The lgno-
rant or blind people generally have strng-hold
or tail hold. For seeing hog to lead a blind
hog to water would be au act that would shame
tens of thousands of human beings. The hui
man leader too often comes into a tale when lie
PLAYS the part OF the hunter. The hunter was
after game, Too many people, i'll church or
state, are after game, aud they gobble up
herd of blind hogs with the greatest satisfac-
ton.
Prejudice is one OF the Strongest strings III
existence Ouce have that string fixed in the
nose, and few men of the lowest order OF
nincompoop can lead whole multitude.
Don't let the sands Of prejudice blind your
ewes and when men off,r to string your noses,

Two su.pects Arre.ted

The police of Little Rock have ar rested two persons on suspicion of having murdered Green Thompson, wealthy colored citizen. Thomp- son Non, who was taken into custody the morning the crime was discovered, was released, there being no evidence against him. The parties now in GUS tody are W. S. Caswell and Thomp- sons wife. Caswell is charged with the murder and the widow with al legged complcity. The officers have been working on the theory that the murder was committed by some one in Thompson's house, when he return ed home from the church sociable about 1 o'clock at night. Mrs. Thomp- son spent the evening at the home of Caswell. who accompanied her home about 10 o'clock. She says the man did not go in the house, but the po- lice will try to prove that he did enter and was not seen to come out Gas well is a musician, who was often in the accused woman's company. Mrs. Thompson is much younger than her murdered husband, and was his sec ond wife.
