CONSCIENCE" HIS SUBJECT.
The Rev. owen Daviess Odell Pleads
for Right Principles.

At the Second Presbyterian Church last
night the Rev. Owen Daviess Odell
preached a short sermon dealing chiefly
with the word Conscience" fine pro-
gramme of music was given by the quartet.
An especially pleasing number was the
song, God Is Love-
Mr.. Odell said that we must obey con-
science before man, angel or devil. Con-
science is the voice of God in the soul. 1t
is the inevitable oracle of God. The pastor,
in speaking of the fact that life is largely
made up of trifles. declared that beneath 1t
all. beneath the trivial, is the eternal. The
reality lies there. The pastor said he loved
to look back through old records and to see
how the first followers of Christ managed
their lives. I'VE cannot afford to be loose
in our principles" he said, I'VE must obey
God rather than men. The strongest and
supremest call that comes to us to-day is
that we must be men of conviction and
practice. Let us obey the call that has
come distinctly to us from the Master, the
Christ and the Brother who will guide us
through life.

Topeka, KANs., Oct. q, 1902
To THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS
AS the campaign is drawing to a
close / take this means OF addressing
few words to you before you shall
have deposited your ballots and re-
corded your will in regard TO the is
sues involved in this campaign.
have endeavored to conduct an
honorable and gentlemanly cam
paign. I hope and believe it has met
your approval. 1 have endeavored
to treat my political opponents fairly
and honestly, and have avoided all
that which savored Of slander or per-
sonal abuse. 1 have eudeavored TO
present, in a plain, business-like way,
the issues involved in this campaign
and to show their effect on the people
of this state, if approved and adopted
by them. This text has been rigidly
adhered to.
1t is perhaps unnecessary for me to
call your attention to the methods
which have been adopted by the COR
porations and political bosses in
their efforts to accomplish my defeat.
Slander, misrepresentation and per-
sonal abuse has been, is being aud
no doubt will continue to be resorted
to in an attempt to discredit me before
the people. Believing that such at
tacks were but political schemes to di-
vert me aud the attention of the
people from the real issues of the
campaign, have paid no attention
to them, feeling that my life and re-
cord constitute complete refutation
of all such charges aud an entire
vindication of my character.
The. real purpose of all this per-
sona1 abuse, which Is to accomplish
my defeat by fair means or foul,
should not be lost sight of. And why
resort to such extremes? Because
the corporations and their tools
know from my record that they cam
not handle. bribe or control me; be-

rom the Pittsburg Kansan.

From the Pittsburg Kapsan.
Ignore it as the republicans may,
the tax question in Kansas is the
paramount question.
Craddock has forced it before the
people, aud regardless of party lines
the people are talking about it.
Taxation is no. party question,
it is enc that enters into the expert
ence of every voter in Kansas.
No man likes to pay another mans
taxes, especially if the other fellow
is the better fixed of the two.
Yet that is what we have been
doing for many years in Kansas and
what we will continue to do so long
as the republicans are in power.
And who is ''the other fellow?
Some poor devil worthy of this char
ity? Perhaps.
s'The other fellow'' is chiefly the
great public utility corporations.
Take the railroads for example.
They draw interest and pay divi-
dends on $40 millions--they are as
sessed for SO millions or about one
tenth their capitalized value.
The ordinary taxpayers pay taxes
on so per cent, Or one-half the real
w lue.
If the income value of all public
utilities were assessed in the same
ratio as you are, You would only
have to pay one dollar, where now
you pay two, five where you now pay
ten, and fifty where you now pay
hundred.
How does this strike you? Don't
answer too quick il you are a repub-
lican-for Bailey and the republicans
on his ticket say it's all right and
that the railroads are really pay
ing more than their share of the taxes.
The republicans always take the poor
suffering railroads and other cor
porations under their wing-that is
the leaders, the bosses, the heelers
do-for it pays them big to do it.
The fool republicans just shut their
eyes, open their mouths, gallop along
and pay-''if it's republican it's all
| right"
But there are fewer TOOL republicans
| this year than usual, for from all
| over the state comes the word that
thousands of republicans are studying
the subject, and many, perhaps most
| OF them, have concluded they won't
pay taxes for the railroads any
longer if they can help it.
They know they will have to il
Bailey and his crowd are elected,
and they are going to give Craddock
and his sort of people d chance-just
| for luck.

Their Last Effort.

Many republican papers make .
practice of coming out in their last
issues al the close Of political CAM
paigns with startling tales on the,
opposition, but our voters have
learned that an honest tale Ioes not
fear to be heard until TOO late for
contradiction, and consequently these
stories always fall fiat as they de-
serve. We have our county ticket
safely elected, provided our voters
win go to the polls and vote regard
less of all lies of the opposition.

Long On che Run.

A critical examiaation of the coa-
gressional record Of Congressmaa
Chester 1. Long, Ct the Seventh dis
trict. reveals the TACT that he has ia-
troduced in the 9Th and 57th con
crosses 22l bills aad got just five al
them passed. OF the five which were
passed, one related to the title al
Usage Indian lands, and the other
four were pension bills. In view oi
this fact, il is no wonder that he re-
fused to meet Vernon j. Rose, the
fusion candidate, GA the stump. Ga
Monday night, October 21st, both Mr..
Long and Mr.. Rose we're billed at
Sterling. The local fxsionists chal-
Ienged Mr.. Long to debate with Mr..
Rose ON his congressional record and
the issues of the day. Mr.. Long de-
clined to accept the proposition and
had bis date changed to the 23rd.
Mr.. Longs campaign has settled at
last into two propositions: First,
How little he may discuss his, con-
gressional record, and second, How
many voters he can buy in order to
offset the red-hot campaign put up by
his opponent, Mr.. Rose.
1t has been generally thought by the
noise Mr.. Long was making in con-
gress that he was very effective in
doing things for his district, but it
seems he has done nothing whatever
outside as above stated, and the re-
publicaus of the Seventh district are
about ready to try somebody else.

1t Pays to Be Decent.

From the Kansas City World.
The contrast between the campaigns
being made in Kansas by w. II.
Craddock aud W. J. Bailey, oppos-
ing candidates for governor. is so
marked as to call forth considerable
comment.
Mr.. Craddock is conducting
gentlemanly, dignified campaign;
MIR. Bailey campaign OF slander
and abuse. Mr.. Craddock has vital
issue which he defends and advocates
by every honorable method. Mr..
Bailey apparently has no issue, ex-
cep spoils of office. Mr.. Cradd ock's
avowed purpose is to accomplish
lasting good for his state and people.
Mr.. Bailey's only purpose seems to
be to 'heel" himself aud political
henchmen and further protect the COR
porations.
The methods reverted to by the re-
publicans in their efforts to defeat
Mr.. Craddock and To elect Mr..
Bailey are the most reprehensible
and dishonorable ever attempted in
the history of the state.
Mr.. Bailey, being the leader, must
stand responsible for these methods.
Every important act in a campaign
is submitted to the leaders before act
ion is taken. They are to be the
beneficiaries of such methods, if wise
and successfull; likewise they must
shoulder the responsibility il the
methods be unwise or unworthy.
Therefore Mr.. Bailey must stand
responsible. for all this vile. personal
abuse Of his opponent, MIR. Craddock.
II he had not approved it he could
have stopped it at any time on an
hours notice. That he does approve
it is further demonstrated by the fact
that he resorted to it himself at the
Topeka debate and has seldom made
speech since that he has not done
the same thing.
Observe the contrast between the at
titude of the two men toward each
other. Throughout the entire cam
paign Mr.. Craddock has not uttered
a single word derogatory to the char
acter of Mr.. Bailey. Aud further, he
has Instructed his committees and re-
quested his friends to maintain the,
same attitude.
Let us conduct our campaign on a
high moral plane" he says to his
friends and workers. ''Let us make
our fight for principle and we will
win. If the republicans want to con-
duct a campaign of slander and
abuse, let them do SO, but pay no at
tention to them, and above all, do
n OF let them divert us from the issues
of the campaign"
How much more honorable this
than the attitude which Mr.. Bailey
has assumed in his campaign. The
comparison rebounds very much to
Mr.. Craddock's advantage.
1t is entirely unnecessary for Mr.
Craddock to answer the absurd and
vile charges which have been brought
against him. Aside from a life of
spotless integrity, his own honorable
course in this campaignis, in itself,
a complete refutation.
Mr.. Bailey's policy has not only
failed to accomplish its purpose, but
it has proved a boomerang. 1t has
lost Mr.. Bailey friends, and, at the
same time. it has made Mr.. Craddock
| friends.
The American people like honor
and decency in politics. They are
quick to detect and resent any in
fringement upon this principle, rs
Mr.. Bailey will discover when It is
too late.
1t always pays to be decent.

What Rose Stands For.

Within the last few days many of
our people have received letters pur-
porting to be from Chester |. Long.
They of course relate to the campaign
and urge the voter to cast his vote for
Carter and against Tatum as a per-
sonal favor to Long. 1t is expected
that those receiving these letters will
feel SO flattered by the notice of so
great a man as Chester that they will
fairly fall over each other in order to
get to the polls and do his bidding.
Voters will hardly be caught with
this kind of chaff when they realize
that every county in this district is
being covered with the same kind of
letters. A congressman soliciting
votes as a personal favor looks like
playing the baby act.
The contrast between the letters
sent out by our candidate for con-
gress and those sent out by Mr.. Long
is remarkable. Mr.. Rose stands for
certain principles and asks that the
voters vao stand for the same endorse
him at the polls. His letter Is as
follows

pie Of this country in the last five
years
Wages have not decreased, but liv-

It ear be done by: First, Force the

Thos. T. Kelly,-republican candidate
for state treasurer:
SPRING HILL, KAS, AUG. %, '02.
EDWIN 81. MCKIBBEN, ESQ,
BELPRE, KANSAS.
DEAR ED:-
I enclose a printed report of an in
vestigation made by the board of
county commissioners Of this county
of the record made by Thos. 7. Kelly
while county clerk of this county.
Mr.. Kelly, you know, is now the
candidate on the republican ticket for
state treasurer. You people in dis
tant parts of the state may not know
the show" of these thiLgs and have
taken some pains to write to some of
my old friends about il. You can be-
| lieve this report To be all it claims to
be. l personally know all the parties
connected with the business. MIR.
Hampson is q democrat, MIR. Smith
| and Mr.. Crawford are republicans.
They were assisted in the eXamina-
tion by Alpheus- Lane, county at
torney, and by Lincoln Flanagan.
present county clerk. These men
we. all favorable to Mr.. Kelly but
Mr.. Smith. So there is no doubt but
what MIR. Kelly got a fair chance. It
| WAS most unfortunate that Kelly got
the nomination, but as that has be-
come history, the next best thing to
do is for the people not to vote for
| him. 1t is true this county endorsed
| MIR. Kelly at the county convention
which sent delegates to Wichita, but
| there has been wonderful change
come over the people since then and
last Saturday at the county conven-
tion a resolution was passed condem-
ing him-by $50 to 20.
! l am we'll satisfied that if he were
as we'll known by the balance OF the
state as he is in Miami county, there
would be no danger of his having an
opportunity to- handle the peoples
money, but it is the hope of Mr.. Kelly
and his supporters that he will pull
through and if he does get into the
state treasury it will be found. when
too late, that he will not be satisfied
with S2500 per year.
| [ have personally known Mr.. Kelly
since 1889 and have no confidence in
him. He is in politics for what he can
get out of it. He has always sue
ceede6 in pushing himself into place.
but it is up to the people now, and if
they do not say "No" it is strange
| thing to me. Ed, hope. for the
honor of our old party, which you
and have loved and voted with since
our majority, you and your republi-
can friends at Belpre will not vote for
him. OF Mr.. d. 81. Heflebower, who
is his opponent, I will say: He is a
neighbOr of mine; he was state treas
urer under Leedy; he is an honest and
honorable man, and you need mt be
afraid to vote for him.
| Your friend,
| LESLIE G.. WEST.
| The writer of the above letter is a
brother-in-law of T. B. Hoffman. the
present republican county clerk OF
this county, and we give the letter to
! Uhe public so that the voters of this
county may know how Mr.. Kelly is
regarded in his home county.
The printed report referred to lie
