What Bro. Clark meant to say

more appropriate, and Ira let it
go at that. 1t does amuse us,
however, to see how solicitous
the republicans are about the
fate of the populist party. Don't
worry SO, Ira; the pops are able

ing:
''The best way to make the
world better and happier is to
be good aud happy yourself.
You can accomplish this by liv-
one day at a time. Do not look
backward with regret or forward
with apprehension. Put the
strength of today into the work
of today. 1t is a weak person
who cannot live one day rig ghtly,
cheerfully and helpfully.
"Never speak of disagreeable
things of the past. At the re-
counting of old aches, pains and
grievances, happiness and love
join hands and softly steal away.
"Above all, have faith in hu-
manity. Better a thousand
times trust and be betrayed than
to be always suspicious.
GAS you lift yourself out of
evil and sadness you help the
world to be better and happier -

IF the Tribune and Leader do
not quit quarreling over the

take 'em both out and chuck
them into the ditch. Here is
their latest scrap:
Joe Cooke is giving the ditch
people fits once more. Go crawl
under the table, Joe.-Great Bend
Tribune.
Yes, Brother Townsley, we are
giving 'em fits because they de-
serve it. AS soon as they show
a disposition to do the fair thing
by the farmers who own land
along the east end of the bot
toms, then and then only, can
they expect support from the
people of this community-and
then we will all be ready to
"crawl under the table, From
the above quoted squib in the
Great Bend Tribune, we are to
suppose that Editor Townsley
endorses the legalized robbery of
the property holders along the
outskirts of the proposed lake?
The Leader is not tknocking"
on the project itself. While we
have had our doubts about it's
feasibility, yet we believe with
the great majority of people here
that ii it is brought to a success
full issue it will be of inestimable
benefit to this county and to
central Kansas. But even were
it's success an assured fact, it
gives the company no moral
right to deprive freeholders of
their land without just COM
pensation and this paper is GO
ing to do it's humble part toward
helping and encouraging the
owners to fight for their rights,

pie fits every week.-EllinWood
