The poor are charged the actual

THE Barber County Index in summing
up the political situation in Kansas
after the recent election of Victor Mur-
dock as congressman Of the Big Seventh,
has decided to cast Its lot heresftt r
with the democratic party. From the
vote cast for Judge Babb the Index con
'cludes that the Populists are taking
but iittle interest in the party name It
argues therefore that the opposition to
the republican party can best accom-.
plish its ends by uniting under one name
and that since 1895 there has been but
little difference between the principles
advocated by Bryan and those of Popu
lism, anyhow.-Alva Record.

A Special Session.

1t is announced that Gov. Bailey will
issue call for special session of the
legislature next week. He is taking a
poll Of the Legislature to learn how
many of the members will attend with
out pay and sOsfar about two thirds of
them have responded favOrably.
On the surface it appears that the
object of the special session is to ap-
prOpriate money to assist the flood suf.
ferers, but just as sure as it is held it
will be to reimburse corporations of
Shawnee and Wyandotte counties, and
the people who need assistance worst
will receive very little consideration.
We predict that the only effect of it
Will be more bonds and higher taxes.

HE Index is given credit by Ex-
Commissioner Hugh Rankin as saying
that he controlled the democratic mem.
bers Of the Board in all matters Of tax
alton. Where Mr.. Rankin gets that
idea from is not clear. In the Sharon
township matter the Index has had
occasion topublish the facts and our
conclusion is that Hugh is endeavorlng
with the aid of his political organ to
''swell himself up' as power as a re.
suit. But he errs in judgment. A year
ago when the Board met as Board of
Equalization Sharon township was
reached first and real estate valuations
were raised twenty per cent without
any objection on the part of Mr.. Rank.
in. but before adjournment he objected
to this raise applying to the north hal
OF the township IN which he resided
and gave as his reason that the land in
the north half is much poorer than that
in the south half land on his representa-.
ton the democratic members agreed
not to extend the raise to that portion
OF the township, but he did not object
tOralsing the south half. His con.
tentiOn that land in the western
part of the county should be valu.
ed as high as In the eastern part is
without good business sense because it
Ia not near as valuable. No, we do
not think MIR. Rankin controlled the
Democratic members of the Board in
the least. They simply yielded TO his
Judgment concerning his own territory
out of courtesy to him as a colleague,
but when they found he was wrong
they remedied it. We might also add
that the valuations in the townships in
which the Democrat commissioners
live are as high as in other townships IN
the same locality, if not higher. Mr..
Rankin will have to look elsewhere for
glory az despot.

"HANDS OFF,"

This is Mark Hanna's order to the
people, He would have his party
maintain existing conditions and he
fOrbids free people to change those
conditions
That is. the tariff mus: not be
revised.
The trusts must not be inrerfered
with except playfully.
Capital must have its full swing in
mergers. Otherwise somebody must
lay on pretty hard hand.
Postofice officials shall continue to
plumber the people or hands must
WELD the AK that chops off official
heads.
Banks must continue to have a mo-
nopoly in currency issue aud hands
must be kept off the effort to extend
that monopoly.
Imperialism in the Philippines, in
Hawaii. in Porto Rico and even in the
contiguous territories must not lie
checked.
SUPREME court decisions against In.
come taxes and against the cOnstitu-
ton itself must not be meddied with.
But the tax on coal may be re-
stored as soon as the people forget the
occasion Of its repeal.

to assert their independence and lay
