Disfranchised PopuIists.

Disfranchised populists viii you vote

to deprive you Of your political rights?
Mr. Murphy, candidate for county at
tOrney, was seen by the republican rep
resentative when the bill was pending
in the legislature known as the "anti-
fusion bill" He was asked: docs not
this bill deprive voters Of their political
rights and is it not in violation Of the
constitution" He leaned back in his
Office chair and laughed loud and said:
"ParsOn, L an not open for an interview,
but it is mighty good thing for the re
publican party" This is the man who
hopes to be elected by populist votes.
Can anyone so far forget his principles
as to vote for a man who knows the law
was an outrage on the rights Of cit

Q. A. BramnOm and W. z Dickinson Engage
in a Fight
Saturday afternoon Ca. BrannOn and
". E. Dickinson became involved in a
dispute over a business matter and the
controversy was so acrimonious that a
fight followed.
Both parties were arrested and
brought before Z. P. Leonard, police
Judge, on a warrant for the breach Of
the peace. Both men were put under
bond OF So for the breach Of the peace.
Brannon gave bond but Dickinson re
fused bail and went to Jail. The hearing
was set for Tuesday at 2 p u. but was
continued to November 6, On account of
the absence Of witnesses.
The whole affair is to be regretted as
both men have heretofore been cOnsid-
cred peacabIe and law abiding citizens.
BrsnnOn was quite badly beaten up.
Dickinson claims that BrannOn assaulted
him with a hammer ard that in the mix
up he, Dickinson, acted purely on self
defense. Citizens interpOsed and stop
ped the fight.
Dickinson has always borne good
reputation and is hard-wOrking man.

THEIR LAST GUN SPIKED.
A Fake Scheme to Defeat Dr..
Smith For the Legislature.
A Man Sent Here by the Republican State
Central Committee to Try to Elect
Republican Representative
the Agent an ImPOster.

The republican state central commit
tee sent a ward heller by the name of
c. a. Lindsey, Of Topeka, up to Good
land to work a scheme to defeat DR..
Smith and elect DR.. Candy. This man
arrived here last Saturday aud atayed
over Sunday. He represented himself
as representing the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. He was fraud.
1t was whispered around that there
would be big surprise sprung which
would result in the defeat of Dr.. Smith
and the election Of DR.. Candy. This
man Lindsey went around town with
DR.. Candy to see the "bOys," and his
name and address and the nature Of his
mission was soon found out.
The scheme was as follows: Now
President Roosevelt has shown himself
favorable to labor organizations. There
fore 1t is desirable to elect as many re-
publican members of the legislature as
possible IN order that republican can
be elected to the United States senate
and federal law be passed to compel
the arbitration Of disputes between cap
ital and labor. We want the labor or
CARNATIONS here to support the republic
an nominee" This man showed no Gre
dentials and brought no authorization
of his mission here. He was seen by
DR.. Smith who sprung on him a circular
Of the American Federation of Labor
which gave the names Of their anthem
ticated agents. His name was not
written there"
He left Sunday night with the threat
that he would send a circular here ex-
posing DR.. Smiths record on the labor
question while he was in the legislature.
Especially on the "lOng train and double
header bill"
DR.. Smith, voted as a pOpulist, and an
other man, voted as a democrat, were on
the railroad committee, which had
charge of the first mentioned bill. The
chairman of the committee, a republic
an, while DR.. Smith was employed on
another committee, called the committee
together to take final action on the re-
port of the bill. He did not notify DR.
Smith or the democratic member Of the
meeting and not being present they were
reported as not voting. As to the "anti
spotter bill, - that was referred to the
house committee on the judiciary OF
which DR.. Smith was not member, and
that committee, a majority of which
were republicans, reported the bill "un-
favorable"
A motion was made by Mr.. Fields, a
pOpulist to reject the report of the com
mittee and to reconsider the bill. Mr..
Fields was a railroad engineer. DR.
Smith voted to reject the vote of the
committee and to reconsider the bill
The motion was killed by republican
votes
DR.. Smith has the house and senate
journal and any one who wishes to veri-
ify this statement can call and examine
the reports for themselves. James Cor
rigan, an old railroad engineer, of Kan
sss City, Kan, was here Friday to cOun-
teract the nefariOus scheme set on foot
by these desperate demagogues and
tricksters.

was intended Schlstter was a great
healer and hundreds came to him to be
cured. be was perfectly sincere and
thought he had that gift. His method
was by the laying on Of hands and pray
ing for the person to be healed. he was
not mercenary and did his cures without
pay. A gentleman who is from Den

at that place people came and stood in
line for hours to be cured
Well, Schlatter came to this country,

$1,000 saved for sherman County.


County Attorney Andrews and Sheriff
Walker collected $1,000 personal proper
ty tax of the SeigeI Sanders live stock
and commission company. Other coun-
counties let this tax slip through their
fingers.
Some are willing to discredit Sheriff
Walker because Of the large amount of
business he has done as sheriff and the
fees he has been allowed according to
law. 1t should not be forgotten that be
cause Of his efficiency and the wstehful-
ness Of the county attorney $1,000 was
collected of the Seigel Sanders people
on personal property tax. This is to the
credit of both Hoyt Andrews, acting as
county attorney. and Billy Walker as
sheriff Of the county. The docket of Mr..
Walker shows nearly 20 pages of cases
recorded during his administration and
exceeds by several pages all records IL
the docket since the county was organ,

Mr.. Walker has not drummed up any

Barnett n WaEe-caruer and Helps His

The false impression has been pur-
pOseIy created by political enemies that
Fred Barnett has been dependent on
his father for means while getting an
education; and that the old man has
worked himself nearly to death in sup
porting the family and keeping Fred at
school
This Is not correct. Fred has earned
his way from boyhood. a man Who is
working in Murphy's interests said:
why. that id fool never earned a
dollar 10 his life" This Is the kind Of a
campaign the opposition Is making, and
It is not only false but both unjust and
cruel TO a deserving young man.
He taught school at La Blanche and
his reputation as a teacher Is high. He
worked in The News printing Office for
some time and later on has worked in
The Republic Office. While at the State
University, he studied nights, attended
his class Rotations, set type in a print
ing Office and meantime boarded him
self. {

about the matter. He said: why,

I have helped him. When he earned
money teschingschool, every dollar went

detractors Of patient merit ashamed
of themselves.

OF AN ATTORNEY.
SeIf-COntrOI, Knowledge, Judicial Mind,
Calmness, the indispensable Re
quirements Of a Counselor

An attorney should have a general
knowledge Of law and Of the proceed
ures Of courts Of law. He should above
all things be an honest man. He should
not prevent legal processes to shield the
guilty nor attempt to defeat the ends
Of justice. The broader the informa
ton and scholarship Of an attorney the
better lawyer he will be all things con-
sidered. He should be a thorough
student Of political economy and versed
in the science Of law humane and
divine. He should have a well balanced
mind and personal self control. He
should be a gentleman and a scholar, a
good citizen and a patriot. Many
people seem to think that shyster
and a trickster that has a smattering
Of law, that crates and vOciferates like
4 political spell binder, ami every time
he opens his mouth puts his foot in it
Is a great lawyer. This is a mistake.
This class Of lawyer, of which there is
far to many, never get up in their pro-
fession. They never get to be judges
or practitioners before the higher
courts. They are not found on the
supreme bench, state or national All
Of the successful lawyers are scholarly
men, men Of dignified presence and re-
markabIe self command. Let anyone
think for but a moment and they will
commend this statement. The best
pleaders do not vOciferate, but speak
often in a conversational tone Of voice
and depend on the sense Of their plea
rather than the IOudness of the noise
they make. Many Of them are sparring
of GESTURE. 1t was said Of Caesar, that
the "tap Of Caesars finger was enough
20 awe the senate" The most i'm
pOrtant function of an attorney is
that Of a wise counselor. Legal advice
is good advice. This calls for calmness,
knowledge and impartiaIity. A man
that jumps at conclusions and is an in
tense partisan is never a safe legal ad-
wiser.
If these remarks are just, it may
weigh something IN the minds of voters
at the polls in this county at the
coming election. Fred z. Barnett is
we'll educated. He is honest, patient,
industrious, self poised to remarkable
degree, possesses a Judicial mind, and
is otherwise qualified for county at
tOrney. Ae will be a safe advisor to
the county board, which is one of the
important functions Of a county attor-
ney. Vote for him at the polls.
