Notice Of Intention to Tax.

Date OF first publication. May Sth. 1903.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-07-31

IT is reported that the machine politicians OF
the Republican party in this Douglas] county
have Set up job on Judge Smart, to beat him
next year, and rive the place to man from
Anderson county, to be named by Henry Allen
and Cy Leland. The object of the machinists
seems to be to rob Douglas county of all the
offices to which she is entitled in order 10 APP
pease the god Leland, and to get some appoint.
i've offices for dinky two.tora-cent ward-heelers.
Douglas county's birthright has been sold for
four years to come, already, and the only thing
lacking is for petty bosses to make good their
promises to Leland, Burton, Curtis and other
josses of the temple. One of the hardest jobs
the cheap politicians Of this county ever had
on their hands will be the delivery of the goods
they have sold.-Lawrence Jefersonian.
Here's the situation: Henry Allen and Judge
Smart both live in Franklin county. Allen
wants to 60 to congress, and Smart wants to be
reelected Judge. IfAllen gets the nomination
for cong. less, Smart cannot expect a re-nomina-
ton for judge-these two important Offices
cannot 60 to one county, according to the rule
of practical politics." For this reason, Judge
Smart is for Bowersock and against Allen, and
Allen is doing his utmost to create sentiment
against Smart and Bowersock. Such is "prac-
tical politics."

statement that the voter should have "a stake
in the country" The men who hold these
ideas are often those who do not vote at all,
but go off for holiday on election days. They
explain their indifference by saying that they
do not care to vote when any ordinary laborer
can cast vote that will offset theirs
The growth of this idea would limit oppor-
tunities of changing laws to those who are sue
cessful and presumably satisfied to keep things
as they are. It would be very dangerous
thing for the country.
1t would Ge fine thing, OF course, to have
all voters men of great intelligence of edu-
cation. But it is more important that the voter
should be honest and earnest and terested in
the unfortunate than that he should read Greek
or Latin or own million dollars.
1t would enlighten those who think that the
voter should have "a stake in the country'-
which means an interest in preventing change
If they could look back over the great polit-
ical movements of the world.
Those who fought Improvements, whether
they were the Tories that lived in New York
and wanted to stick to England, or the mean
little shop-keepers in Paris that wanted to 90
on bowling and scraping to the nobility, always
had "a stake in the country"
AS matter of fact, the most important vote
is the dissatisfied vote, rich or POOR That is
the vote that makes the office-seekers anxious,
and that keeps them doing their best The
voter who refuses to accept any argument ex-
cept better conditions, and chance for the
under dog, is the voter that stands for progress
And he very otter has no "stake in the coun-
try''; at least, no stake that takes the form of
bank account.
But he has stake in the country in the

OyERWORKED CHILD KILLS HERSELF.

Chicago dispatch dated July 18th gives
an account of the suicide of little Sarah Solo
mon, aged 10, who was forced to work in a
sitting hot laundry-compelledt 10 do work far
beyond her strength. Dizzy from long day
of toll over the ironing.board, she gave up her
place, secured bottle of carbolc acid and
started home. Before reaching home, she took
the acid and fell writhing in front of the house.
Her step-father found her there, and she ex-
claimed ooh, father! the work was so had it
was killing me. l couldn't stand it any
longer" This was har last protest against
child slavery.
How long will this sort of thing be tolerated
by this nation? Sarah Solomon was only one
of hundreds of thousands of mere babes who
are being literally worked to death il shops and
factories. Who is responsible? owe, the

ALLEN BUYS MORE PAPERS.

Wednesdays Topeka State Journal contains
the following dispatch from Garrett:
"Henry J. Allen, of Ottawa, has completed
arrangements for the purchase and consolida.
ton Of the two Republican papers here-the
Eagle and Republican-Pl aindeaer. William
R. Smith, former editor of the Lecompton Sun
and Manhattan Republic, and more recently
one of the publishers OF the Lawrence Jeher-
sonian, is associated with Mr.. Allen, and will
have charge of the consolidated paper. Mr..
Smith takes possession of the Republican
Plandealer this week, and the consolidation
with the Eagle will take effect in two or three
weeks"
For years, the Republican politicians have
been trying to get these two papers together,
in an effort to bridge the chasm between the
two Republican factions. At various times,
offers have been made for the two papers, but
an agreement could not be reached. 1t finally
became necessary, it seems, for Democrat to
fill up the breech. Mr. Smith comes of radical
Democratic stock. Just how he will manage
to run Republican paper remains to be seen;
but he has been able to give the newspaper
fraternity pointers along other lines, and he
may be able to co so in this. However, Smith
is mighty good fellow, and we wish him sue.
cess, financially speaking.
But we have our doubts about the success of
the plan mapped out by Henry Allen and his
hackers. Allen represents the Leland wing of
the Republican party. The Plaindealer under
Howard M. Brooke's management, has been an
antiLeland paper, and lie has had strong
following While the anti Leland mouth piece
in this county has been silenced, we do not be-
lieve anti-Leland Republicans of the county
can be tamely led into the Leland camp.
Henry Allen has presumably purchased sew
eral papers in various parts of the state, but in
fact, he only purchases them for certain set
of politicians iown as the Iceland gang''-
who furnish the money.
The consolidation of the two Republican
papers Of this county is Leland victory-if
the above report be true.
LATER.-The Eagle and the Paindealer both
deny the consolidation story. The Plaindealer
says Bowersock sent Mr.. Smith to buy that
paper, which, if true, means that Henry Allen
(who wants Bowersock's seat in corgress) has
scared up Mr.. Bowersock, and he's going to
buy some papers, too.
Well, anyhow, we welcome Brother Smith to
Garrett, and sincerely wish him WE'LL

A Bad Showing.
From the Topeka Herald (Rep.)

From the Topeka Herald (Rep)
The asylum investigation committee filed its
report with the Governor at 8 p. M, Tuesday.
The committee makes this finding against the
Topeka asylum:
1.-THE committee finds that there exists upon
the wards, among the attendants, careless prac-
tees In the handling of patients that frequent
~ amount to unwarranted force and punish
ment, and sometimes amount to cruelty. There
exists among the attendants a kind OF secret
understanding which has the influence of re-
strainlng one attendant from informing the
superintendent or other superior officers Of mis-.
conduct and abuses on the part of other attend
ants toward the patients"

WHITE INSISTS THERE ARE BOODLERS IN
KANSAS.

Will Allen Whites statements regarding
boodling in the Kansas Legislature have reached
Baking Powder Kelley, who is sojourning in
Canada, and he is warm under the collar, so to
speak, and he threatens to "make it warm" fol
White when he gets back to the United States.
But White isn't scared. He stands by his as
sertion that there were boodlers in the Kansas
legislature. White says:
"The Gazette has knowledge of one crooked
transaction in the legislature. Its informant,
the man whose client paid the actual spot cash,
is one OF the best, cleanest men in Kansas. For
the Gazette to print the story would do no
good. In suit for libel, the clients would
hike out, but they would not escape the Attor-
ney-General who means business The way
these people were held up by tine legislature
was duplicated several times, as the journals
of the two houses will show.
cit is personally to the editor of this paper
a matter of superlative indifference whether
the boodlers steal the gold dome off the capt.
toll; but, on the other baud, big boss boodler
has said that he bought the legislature of Kan
sas in 1901. Senator Cal Morrow, who was
member of that Legislature and the recent legis.
1ature, has said that he saw evidences OF Doodle.
The Topeka Capitals Legislature reporter inti-
mated the same thing. Any determined lawyer
can take the record of the two houses, talk
with half dozen honest Legislators, find who
of the legislators were suspected OF being
crooked, and get from the honest men list of
the crooked bills, see how they hung up at the
end of the calendar, and then suddenly jumped
down and were passed. He can then quickly
subpoena the benefcaries of these bills, put
them in the sweat-box, then put the suspected
crooks through the mangling machine, and in
six weeks, there will be hegira from Kansas
that will be surprising.
"The attorney general may do that or not,
just as he pleases. The county attorney of
Shawnee county may do that or not, just as he
pleases. The Gazette has no desire to calum-
Mate any one, even on the mere verbal state
ment of one of the best lawyers in Kansas, but
that statement may be verified before grand
jury in the simplest possible manner, and the
crookedness unearthed.
sin this bribery matter, the Gazette is on
sure ground; and, what is more, it will stay
there"

AN editor over at Warrensburg, Mo-, printed
few facts about the supreme court of that
state, and the court got mad, jerked the editor
up and fined him $500 for contempt of court.
The editor went home, and was met at the
depot by the whole town. An indignation
meeting was held in the evening. and whole
lot OF unprntable things were said about the
court; the EDITORS utterances were endorsed.
and, almost before he knew it, the $500 was
raised by the audience. The courts may try
to destroy free speech, in order to prevent their
wrong-dongs being brought to light, but the
PEOPLE believe in free speech and free press
and they will endorse the exposure of wrongs,
whether committed by courts or others.

WALL STREET PANICKY.

During the past ten days, several Wall street
''bankers and brokers" (gamblers) have gone

make no difference to the people, but our

ksep it back until after the next presidential
election,

member of the Philadelphia bar and an eminent authority on constitutional law, Mir. Adams makes the following quota tions from this book:
 If a faction should attempt to subvert the government of a State for the purpose of destroying its republican form, the paternal power of the Union could thus be called forth to subdue it. Yet 1t is not to be understood that it's interposi- ton would be Justifiable if the people of a State should determine to retire from the Union. whether they adopted another or retained the same form of govern ment. GPage 289.)
 ''The States, then, may wholly withdraw from the Union; but while they continue they must retain the character of repre- sentative republics. Page 290)
 The secession of State from the Union depends on the will of the people
