Would YOn Do It2

Would you buy groceries ola grocer
who had no scales? Would you buy
of dry goods merchant who had no
yard measure? Would you employ a
carpenter who had no saw? If such
men existed would you expect them to
succeed?
Why then expect a farmer to sue
ceed who does not take good, live,
up-to-date agricultural and livestock
paper. A paper of this class is just
as much necessary part of the tools
for the farm as the scales for the
grocery store or.the saw to the car
penter.
When a man inlany kind of business
secures the necessary tools for that
business he can do better work and lis
surer of success if gets the best.
When a farmer secures a farm paper
he should get the one that is publish
ed in the territory and by men who
understand the conditions under which
he lives.
1t is absurd to seek agricultural
information from a paper published
in another State and by men who
know nothing of Kansas conditions.
Cash paid for such paper is dead
expense. Cash paid for the home
printed and progressive paper is an
investment.
The "Old Reliable" Kansas Farmer
is the only paper that exactly meets
the requirements of the farmers and
live stock men of the State.
We have now perfected arrange
ments by which we can send you the
WEEKLY REGISTER and the Weekly
Kansas Farmer for $1.9O. Send your
name in at once.

A wHITEwAsHED CREDENTIAh

The. INDEPENDENT yesterday re-
ferfed to a rumor which we believe
will develop to be fact. 1t is
whispered around that the Board
of Health intends to reinstate ex-
Superintendent Reynolds to official
patronage and things certainly
look as if leading that way. For
the benefit and ediication Of the
public The INDEPENDENT will here
with present little contemporary
history:
According TO the Investigation
Committee which was sent to Molo-
kai, it is a matter OF record that Pi-
lipo Mikila, leper, "was put in q
cell with no outside window, com
.paratively dark and lily ventilated"
II u "He was in an advanced stage
of leprosy. AS the disease pro-
gressed he became very weak and
was little more than skin and
bones. His hands aud feet
were alive with maggots. The
stencil was offensive" "He
had no proper care" or medical at
tention, worthy Of the name, at any
time" He died as result of his i'll
treatment.

The movement began by the
election OF Dennis MuvihiIl as May
or of Bridgeport, Conn, who for
thirty years worked as a stoker in a
mill 10 that town. Johu P. Stud

Mayor of New Haven, and more
recently Ignatius A. Sullivan was
elected Mayor OF Hartford by the
Union Labor Party. Stephen
Charters, a mechanic, was elected
Mayor OF Ansonia. A labor Governor
ia now among the possibilities in

1t was discovered after a recent
lynching in Kentucky that the
wrong man had been killed. The
black skinned victim was innocent
OF the crime which his executioners
sought to average. The discovery
did not create panic in the
neighborhood however. If the
unfortunate wretch was not guilty,
he was "colored," which amounts to
pretty much the same thing, or at
least is quite sufficient in the eyes Of
Judge Lynch. We hope that such an
unjust, inhumau and cowardly Judge
will not come here to disgrace our
barbarism, or rather our civiliza.

THE LABOR PAETY's SUCCESS

The success OF the labor eocieties
recently in elocting mayors in sever
al cities Of the United States may
start a movement that may have an
important bearing on the two great
political parties in the country. 1t
has shown laboring men what they
can do by united effort, and will
doubtless encourage them to fur
ther action in the direction of state
and national politics.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-05-07

Success begets confidence, and
the two leading political parties in
the United States may have to

"They are the men in charge rs.

ment and to humanity for such help

In the act creating the Fire
Claims Commits issiou, no provision
was made that the work OF the
Commission was "to continue for
six months" only, although the
trainers anticipated that the work
would be finished in that time, and
therefore provided enough money
to last with which to pay salaries,
expenses, and so forth, on the six
months lay. Moreover, it was anti
cipated that there would be more
claimants and the Commission acted
upon it and provided enough books
aud blanks. But as to its life, we
repeat that it was not limited, and
for any to say 80, we say that such
statement is fallacious and utterly
without foundation. Other than
the amount appropriated for it's use,
it could 60 on without limit till it
had finished its WORK, aud rather
than leave its work uuoompleted,
having exhausted certain items Of
its appropriation, it saw f. 10 raise
funds outside among the business
community, which was given to it
quite willingly, trusting to the next
Legislature 10 reimburse and in
demnify the parties for the sum
borrowed. 1t is,not proper to con-
vey such wrong impression, for if
such contention was implied, the
act is quiet about it; aud il so, then
the whole work OF the Commission
would bs valueless and void, the
same bsiog illegal; but as it is, it is
perfectly lawful, forcible and
weighty.

Beautiful calendars at Bushnell's.
Big Fire Narrowly Averted.

A spark from a defective incandescent
lamp wire ignited a quantity OF cotton bat
ting which John Martin, the window trim
mer, was using to decorate the large show
window OF John Beno & Co. for a Christmas
display, shortly after II o'clock Thursday
night. For a few minutes the blaze threat
ened to communicate to the interior of the
store, but the prompt arrival Of the fire de-
partment and the heroic manner in which
Mr.. Martin tore down the blazing cotton
with his bare hands prevented such a dis
aster. Martin was severely burned about
his hands and face and will be laid up for
some time. Gus Norman, the company's
engineer, who was inside the window en-
closure, was almost overcome by the in
tense smoke, blu. managed to crawl out and
make his way to the engine room, where
he fell. striking his head against a sharp
projection. When found by the hremen he
was unconscious and was revived with some
difficulty.
Although the smoke was intense, the firm
stated yesterday that the damage was
small, the most serious being he cracking
of a large plate glass window by the heat.
