Don't Use The Circle.

Considerable good advice to Popul;st
and Democrat voters is given in the
following taken from the last issue OF
the Independence Populist:
The man who has any thought of
doing anything except vote straight
party ticket this fall can't begin to
study the intricacies Of the new ballot
law any too soon. Of course all he
really needs to recolect is that he must
vote in the old way and make a cross in
the square opposite the names of every
candidate he wants his vote to count
for.
Don't vote for the circle if you mean
to scratch the ticket or are too in
dependent to allow any party to dictate
whom you shall vote for, is bit of ad
vice that will have to be repeated some
millions of times III this state this fall
if the votes of the men who do their
own thinking are to be saved to the
commonwealth -

THE SOCIALIST MOVEMENT.

The socialist movement IN Kansas
this year varies little from what it has
been in previous years, In volume, meth
cd and force. The true democrat or
populist Is a socialist insofar as he is

ment ownership Of public utilities, but
be Is not willing at this time to go to
the extreme Of demanding government
ownership of all means of production
and distribution.
The generality of workers in socialis-
tic propaganda in Kansas IS sincere
and enthusiastic, and In so far as they
succeed in destroying many of the old
moss grown theories and mistakes of
the republican party. the fuslonists can
have no criticism. That they are being
used, however. in many parts of the
state, sometimes without their knowl.
edge, but very often with their full
consent, by the republican managers in
an endeavor to weaken the Peoples par
ty. is truth we'll known and capable
of being proven.
LII AouJ III OlO OCoGCs WhOAO
socialist tickets nave been placed in the
field, republican leaders have braZenly
pushed the movement and given their
time and money to see that the social
ist campaign is pushed to the utmost.
Especially has this been so in the Sixth
district. At this convention, six dele
gates only, outside of Norton. where
the convention was held, attended. and
five counties. only. out of the % we're
represented. John G. Royce, chairman
OF the republican, congressional COM
mlttee, was on hand experimenting the
job. This Is an attempt of Royce to
drag votes away from the fusion candi
date, Mr.. Cole. Republicans will furn-
ish campaign thunder for the socialists
in the Sixth congressional district.
Various other places in the state
have received like announcements. and
such action is hurting the cause of So
cialism everywhere. A Gauss cannot
win without sincerity, and sincerity is
not purchasable sentiment There is
no question but that many Kansas So
clalists are sincere, but their party will
sink in the estimation of honest people,
just in proportion as they entangIe
themselves with the republican party.

The strongest proof we have for say
ing that j. D. Spangler would make an
excellent commissioner is the success
he has made OF his OWE private bust
ness. He started into the race OF life
empty handed but now he is a substan-
tlal farmer on good business founda-
ton. And no man who knows him can
say that he ever made a cent dishonesty
or by defrauding any man with whom
he has transacted business. His neigh
bors honor and respect him and bis Lost
bitter political enemies admit that he
would make good commissioner. Ii
he is defeated. it will be because OF the

THE organ IS alarmed on account of
a petition which the prohibition people
are reported to be circulating, the
provisions of which are that the signers
agree TO vote the prohibition ticket IL a
certain number of signers are procured.
1t cautions republican sympaLhiZers
not to sign it for the reason. it says,
that members of other parties do not
sign 1t. We have not seen the petition
and do not know that one is in circula-
ton, but we Will wager q few coppers
on the proposition that the Cresset's
statement IS false. But even it were
true, that would be no argument. A
man who won't stand for his principles
because somebody else refuses to IS no
man at all. The Cresset's wall is the
weakest thing on this subject that has

Roosevelt by AccIamation.

The New York World announces
that it has the best authority for stat
ing that President Roosevelt expects TO
be nominated in 1904 by reclamation.
According to the information received
by the World, Mr.. Roosevelt expects
the support of Senator Hanna, Cover
nor Odell, Senator Piatt, and Senator
Quay. If there were no reasons for
doubling the administration SINGER
ity in its professed attack upon trusts,
the very fact that at this moment Mr..
Roosevelt has good grounds for believ-
ing that he will be renominated without
opposition would justify the suspicion
that the trust magnates are satisfied
with thu Roosevelt administration.
Does anyone believe that the powerful
influences that have manipulated the
republican party to the advantage OF
the trust system would permit Mr..
Roosevelt to be nominated by acclama-
ton if the trust magnates had any
grievances against the president?-Bry-
ans CommOner.

IF the Cresset wants to make a neat

will simply turn the Office of county

Pittsburg Millionaire and Fam
lily Driven From Home.

New York, March 1S.-Anonymous
letters containing threats to kidnap and
murder his children unless $25, 600 is left
at a place carefully described, have
caused Alexander R. Peacock, formerly
first vice president of the Carnegie Steel
company, to send his family from Pitts
burg to New York
He is now with his wife, two sons
Grant, Il years old, and Alexander, 10
and his infant daughter, Margaret, at
Holland house, where a suite of rooms
has been engaged for an indefinite
stay.
Mr.. Peacock has established a rule
that neither he nor any member of his
family is at home" in Holland house
except to callers among their acquain-
tances.
The first letter of the series of three
was received two months ago, while
Mr.. Peacock was absent from home.
His wife read it, and was greatly
shocked to find a warning that unless
her husband should leave $4,000 in cash
in a secluded spot of North Highland
avenue in the East end a residential
part of Pittsburg, the three children

was prepared Ito make his warning
good"

doors, and the two boys, who We're in
school, We're escorted by a servant
whenever they went out When Mr..
Peacock returned he employed Roger
O'Mara, former chief of the Pittsburg
detective force and who now manages
a private detective agency. to run down
the blackmailers.
A few days later a second letter,
without signature, was received through
the mail The handwriting indicated
that the two We're the work of the same
person. The writer stated that he was
aware that the famous Roger O'Mara
had been engaged by FIR. Peacock but
that the efforts of all the detectives in
the country could not prevent the ex-
ecution of the kidnapping plans
The letter concluded with a threat
that unless Mr.. Peacock came to terms
within "a hours the three children would
be not only stolen but murdered. This
letter was turned over to Detective
O'Mara. and few days later a third
was received, expressing the same
threats and demands in more forcible
language than before.

ClairvOyant "Sees" That Man

New York. March 1S.-Mme. Cebille, a

activity.
She foresaw recently the marriage of
her daughter, Jessie Fitzgerald, IL years
old, to Franklin Mcintyre, a 21-year-old
clerk in a down town law office, and she
at once made good her claims of excel
lence and infallibility as a seer. She
sent for Franklin, told him of her Wis
ion and said there was nothing for It
except to marry Jessie. Franklin de-

the floor and walloped him about until
he was ready TO admit that a psyhic
picture was realistic bit of art.
All this, according to the seer's own
words. Young Mcintyre doesn't like to
talk about it. Mime. Cebille, in describ-

when Prince Henry has got rid of
the bruises on his hand he will have
nothing but agreeable souvenirs of this
tour, during which the great republican
democracy gave evidence not only of its
amicable sentiments for Germany but
also of that latent, that unconscious
royalism which lies at the bottom of the
heart of every citizen of the free and
equal republic.
1T is to believe that Prince Henry, in
spite of the ridiculous pretensions of
