Caution!

This is not gentle word-but when

purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868, for the cure and treatment OF
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou
bles without losing it's great popularity ell
these years, you will be thankful We call
ed your attention 70 Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectorstion and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there ie nothing
like German Syrup. The Is cent sise

IN it's discussion of the Barber county
printer law, the Topeka Capital knows
not whereof 1t speaks. Since the Cap
ital has dipped into this local matter
it ought to be fair and honest enough to
statethe facts. The county printers posi-
ton on this law can readily be seen by
consulting the files Of the Index. The
Capital will discover that our position
was the same after our election as it was
before. But we presume the county
printer has no right to Glazing decent
and fair treatment at the hands of
either Q republican paper or a republic
can legislature. They have no use for
facts in tn cir biased deliberations.

Something More About Dixon.

In q recent article the Doubleday,
Page & Co. speak of the career of Mr..
Dixon as follows:
MIR. Dixon was born in North Caro-
lima. thirty eight years ago, of family
famous for the preachers that it has
produced. He was graduated at Wake
Forest College IN. H. at an unusually
early age. and was elected to the legis-
lature before he was twenty one.
After brief political career he de-.
cided to follow the example of his faith.

soon called to one of the most import
ant Baptist churches In Boston. After
several years. successful service there,
he was called to a wider field in New
York City, where eventually he became
pastor of the Peoples Church, and for
years he preached to a larger number
of hearers than any other preacher in
America.
During the last few years he has Civ

perhaps the most successful popular

That he is q successful lecturer is
shown by the following from the syria.
cuse Daily Herald:
HE was greeted by an audience that
would have been flattering under any
circumstances; taking into considera-
ton the unpleasant weather it was re.
markable. 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Dixon was q surprise to the greater
part of his audience. They had heard
of him as an exceedingly versatile
speaker, who could combine humor,
pathos and fiery strength in an address
OF remarkable power. They had heard
of him as q man who possessed the
courage to speak the truth at all times.

REPUBLICAN papers that are pokinp

REPUBLICAN papers that are poking
fun at Vernon j. Roses race for con.
gress in the Seventh district
do not consider their grounds. Mr..
Rose made an excellent race and might
be member of congress after March
4th but for the fact that his votes were
not counted. There are $4,000 votes
In Kansas but at the election only 287,-
600 Of them were counted. On account
Of the infamous election law which the
republican legislators themselves say
should be amended, the votes thrown
out were most populist and democrat,
and the loss in tie Seventh district was
greater than that Of any other on &C.
count Of the size of the district. There
is nothing smart in stealing an election
and then Boosting about it.

BAILIE WAGNER, democrat, cuts
wider swath in the legislature than any
republican, while the anti. machine re-
publicans are completely ostracised by
the push. Politics operate in queer
way these days. To be a republican
and not next to the machine is worse
than to be member of the minority
party. An anti Leland republican is
abused more by the republican Office
holders than despised pop or democrat
and yet there are those who are ready
to come up and kiss the hand that
smites them.

Printer Legislation.

Our republican brethren are much
elated over the fact that E. 81. Nixon
secured the passage OF law last week
repeating the present county printer
law with q rider attached providing
that the commissioners shall submit
the printing to the lowest bidder. The
bill will be signed by Governor Bailey
this week.
The county printer of Barber county
was elected year ago under a special
law of 1901 for term of two years and
the purpose of Nixon's bill is to deprive
him of the last year of his term under
that election. It is also an open boast
that the 'lowest bidder" feature is only
a temporary makeshift and that as
soon as the republicans elect a
majority of the commissioners the law
will be again amended so that they can
award the printing to their own paper
at full legal rates.
Possibly the county printer can be
deprived Of his Office but il ID certain ly
not justice. We are quite sure that be
could not be ousted if be were repub-
lican. Republicans can hold Office q
year beyond the term for which they
we're elected nut the printer, not being
a republican. can not be permitted to
hold the last year of his term. All this
may be good law but we will have to
be ''shOwn".
There is no fault to lie found with
the repeal Of the law. II is a bad
But the printer believes that be is en-
titled to two years emoluments under
his election and any movement design
ed 70 deprive him of it is wrong both
in morals and in politics.

THE TALE OF A TANK.

7There WAS once Man In Topeka who
was Boozer direct from the Home
Office. He had a greater Tankage
capacity than the Standard Oil concern
and 1t was good safe bet that any
time he wasn't going against the Brew
he was lining up In front of the Rye or
Grape. He had GOOD Job, which he
had landed with O Pull and some money
coming to him from the Estate. His
friends became Alarmed, and fearing
he would become separated from both,
demonstrated. 1t didn't do q Bit OF
Good. Any old time during business
hours that the boozer felt like taking a
Nip he went out after it, and he made
an Awful lot of Business for the Hacks
along about O'Clock In the Morning.
Tue firm told him he would have to
Brace Up. But he Got Back by telling
the firm that any old time they could
hire man who Handled the Work any
Better they ought not to Stand in their
Own light. And then the Boozer would
go out and drink up Some More OF the
Available Supply. About the time the
Estate was Cut Up the Boozer married
Nice Girl much agains! the Wishes of
Her Parents. Her friends said she had
Thrown Herself Away. They said the
Boozer would lose his Job, Fling his
Inheritance away, and that she would
Come on the County. It did Look Like
1t. The Boozer slackened his Gait for
three days after the Ceremony, and
then he went out to Make Up for Lost
Time. That was FIVE years ago, and he
hasn't Caught Up Yet.
But he Is getting awfully down at the
Heel trying to Catch Up. He Lost his
JOB three years ago and now does not
have Regular Work. Drink and let
drink" is his Motto. He IS leading Q
Pigs life which theyisay IS Short and
Sweet. Truly he goes the Whole Hog.
He seems to be doing his Best to De.
stroy the splendid Constitution nature
has given him. A Chum of his who
often Drank with him but who didn't
have such Strong body ia now Dead.
OF all his Estate there is not enough
left to Bury him with. His wife couldn't
Stand 1t and has Gone Back to her
Folks. 1t there had been any Children
In his house It would have been
Still Worse. What he Threw
away in his Prosperity would
have kept Coat on his Back and q

Laughed at Prudence and now pru-

THIS, IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE.

The UuIted States supreme court has
reversed the decision Of the state su-
preme court In the case of Easton
against the state of Iowa, involving the
application of state laws regulating
state banks to national banks.
Under the state law Easton, who was
president Of the National Bank of De.
cOrah, was sentenced to five years in
prison for accepting deposit of 500
when he knew his bank to be insolvenr.
Judge Shiras' decision was that state
laws for the regulation of state banks
do not extend to banks Incorporated
under an act OF congress.
What remedy now have the people
for dishonest national bankers? Con.
gress. as now constituted, cannot be ex-
pected to give the people relief because
the bank monopoly is too we'll fortified
there.
This decision is entitled to a front
place on the list OF judicial outrages
and national usurpatiop. Just think
Ofitl A national bank doing business
in a state, getting its revenue out Of
the people of the state, and yet not
amenable to the laws of that state.
It seems that under the federal court
decisions no state is powerful enough
70 compel organized wealth to respect
Its laws.
