Are We All cowards7

Compromises, traders and neutral
men never correct abuses, never found
or save free institutions, and never
fight for human rights. We seem to
have been slowly and unconsciously
losing our personal independence.
Through the scrambleIfor the dollar,
the longing for position, political or
social, the fear of the press and the
dread of criticism we are all becoming
cowardly; cowardIy in conscience, in
thought. in speech and in action; and
we are losing our birthrights. Cow
ards are bereft of all the nobler in
stincts of man, and he becomes first
slave and then brute. Independence
is the mother of all human progress.
1t lifts the human soul, it clears the
human mind: it enobieS the human
speech and it exalts human action.
Indep endeDce inspires confidence and
elevates purpose; it searches nature;
it covers the continent with cities.
We are trying to establish a higher
justice and bring man day'a march
nearer to the great plane Of human
brotherhood. Two centuries ago the
world struggled for religious liberty;
a century ago for political liberty; to-
day it is in the birth throes of indus
trial liberty. Religious liberty could
not live amid superstition but deman-
ded liberal Institutions. Political
liberty could not live amid kings and
aristocracies but demanded republican
institutions. Industrial liberty can
not live amid monopoly and injustice,
and it is calling for higher standards.

The Hvgene Of Old Ace.

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having slender hold upon
life, one that may be loosened by a
slight shock of injury or disease which
in the young or middle aged would
serve only as d stimulus to the repara-
tive vital powers. This is a conserva-
tive belief, but it warns us to Shield
our loved ones who have fought the
fight, from all influences which might
shorten their stay with US. But we
must not go too far in our solicitude,
for injury may be inflicted and life
shortened by coddIing the old, almost
as surely as coddling the young. The
vital processes in the OLD are slow but
they are still existent, and they may
be kept active by gentle opposition
and, stimulation, just as they may be
increased in childhood and youth by
rough methods. DR.. CaldwelI'S Syrup

The burden. that is weighing down
the righteous souls OF the pious repub-
Iican postkoffice editors of the Sixth
district is the fearful possibility that
their dearly beloved popniiSt friends
(who by the way are regarded as TOP
ignorant to know what they want
themseiyes) will vote for mean old
democrat. just few years ago they
loved a good democrat-oh how they
loved him-and how they labored to
keep him from falling into line with
the dangerous old crankS. the pops!
They never succeeded in soaring such
men as c. NJ. Cole, however. He al
ways labored with the populists and
was not afraid or ashamed of being
called a populist by the republican
papers. Neither will their silly can't
fool any sensible populist this year.
The Herald respectfully refers the
republican post office organs to the
vote of the Beloit conventions as to
who nominated Judge Cole.

The EIkfns Resolution.

1t is to be hoped that the ElkinS
reSolu tionS introduced in the senate
last Saturday, proposing the annexa-
tion of Cuba, will not receive consider
alton from that body.
They are vicious, under the clrcum-
stances, and involve the honor Of the
United States, and their passage
would place this country in a despic-
able light. When we went to the aid
of Cuba, our pure and disintereSte ed
intentions were proclaimed to the
world, and we solemnly disclaimed
any purpose to exercise sovereignty
over the island, and definitely declar-
ed that the people of Cuba ought to
befree and independent.
The Cubans have set up an indepen-
dent government, and now, within a
few weeks after the initial message Of
the first president we have the spec
tacle OF a republican member OF the
United States senate introducing res
olutions proposing the abandonment
of the independence which we won for
the CubanS and giving the lie to our
declaration of good intentions. Such
action is that of the wolf toward the
lamb.
The Cubans should have every OPP
portunity to work out their own sal
walton and every aid this country can
extend. If after every effort on their
part has failed, the Cubans themselves
should ask for annexation, it will be
time enough to speak of such thing
in congress- Joe Gazette. (Rep.

The Newlands-H ansbrough Irriga-
tion bill has passed both houses and
received the approval of the president.
This is the bill that the post office
papers are shouting as due wholly to
w. A. Reeder's efforts. We should be
glad to give Mr.. Reeder credit for
doing something while in congress
and we have scanned the associated
press reports of the debates on this
bill, but have looked in vain for the
name OF Reeder, of Kansas. The bill
was introduced by NewlandS, Of New
ada, a pop, and modified in the Senate
by the committee Of which Senator
Hansbrough, OF South Dakota was
chairman. just what Kesder had to
do with it we have been unable to
find out, unless it is to try to make
his campaign on the passage of this

Monday next the voters of Connec-

Monday next the voters of Connec-
ticut will pass upon the proposed new
constitution, which makes radical,
if illogical, change in the basis OF rep
reSentation in the state legislature.
Public opinion is divided upon the
merits of the revision. The demo-
Gratis in the small towns are unani-
mously against it, while the republic
cans in the cities and large towns are
unit in its favor. If the revision is
adopted further reforms will be post
poned for years. If it is rejected
there will at once begin a movement
to secure a more radical and more
just system of legislation. Ultimately
Connecticut will be driven to the
district system, in the opinion of
most politicians. But the town unit
idea is too strong for such a condition
to arise now, or perhaps for a genera
tion. Some compromise with the
town unit idea retained seems to be
the only possible step that is next in
sight.-Denver News.

That irrigation bill about which
Reeder's friends and appointees have
been making so much noise has finally
passed the house but no one SO far can
find any reference in the dispatches
to Mr.. Reeder's connection with it.
1t is quite likely that he had as much
to do with its passage as the Sultan
of Sulu. But it will not be many
weeks before the fellows will be
claiming that Reeder was the whole
thing. County Journal.

An underground railway is being
projected for Chicago. An expend-
fture of between $40, 600, 900 and $780,
100000 is contemplated, and the pro-
moters insist that they can compile tie
the gigantic enterprise in four years
and that they will turn the subway
over to the city at the end of fifteen
years, to be then operated as a NUM-
cipal institution. Chicago is greatly
pleased with the suggested plans, and
the papers there are pointing out that
not only will the underground railroad
solve the transportation problem, but
it will mean the expenditure, during
the four years the road is building, of
81, 100000 to SIS, 0OO.0OO a year, and
the constant employment during that
time offrom 5000 to 10, GOO men.

One of the queerest defenseS we
have yet heard for Tom Kelly's steals
in Miami county was in the Topeka
Herald of few days ago. 1t was to
the effect that J. B. Tomlinson ex-
warden of the penitentuary was also
short in his accounts and that Gov.
Stanley had hushed the matter up for
the good of the party. Also that the
same crowd that are now clamoring
against Kelly are supporting Tomlin-
son for an appointive job. Gen. Hud-
son closed his column article with a
''Keny 's-as-g ood-as-T 0 m Inns o n-so-
there!" sort of an air, and seems to
think that ought to settle it.

With fairly favorable conditions
from now on the corn crop of 1902 will
be one of the largest ever. grown. In
the great corn belt that cereal is
growing most favorably. Though it
is yet too early to make confident pre-
dictionS, the acreage is the greatest
in onr history: and with the favorable
conditions so far, it will take an ex-
tremely improbable conjunction of
later unfaVorabIe weather and other
deterrents to injure the corn SO that
the output will not be beyond the
average.
