DEWEYs MOUTHPIECE.

The Manhattan Mercury, IN attempt
ing to place the Deweys IN white light
for killing three ofthe Berry family, has
for the sake Of contrast, speBed a lot
of filthy venom on the character Of the
people Of northwest Kansas. If it can
make out that our citizens are black,
then the Deweys viii appear in more
tolerabIe light. OF course, this might
be expected since the Mercury IS a
Dewey mouthpiece, or in the words of
a Manhattan citizen in a letter TO this
paper some time ago: "a Dewey subsi-
died organ" The Mercury doesn't
like this paper, because it can not and
will not look at crime through the
diVeTgiDg Tense Of the microscope.
What has been said in these columns
about these matters have been uncon-
troVertible facts, and subsequent
events and the disposition of the St
Francis court in refusing to dismiss
the indictment against CbaUncey
Dewey, W. ]. Mcbride and Clyde Viii
son, upholds our position. The Mer-
curry isn't careful of argument and
fact, and, like the octopus, when pur-
sued exudes a great quantity Of inky
substance under which it takes refuge
from the enemy.
This time the Mercuy entangles it
self in a mesh Of fabrications, which
will now becomes apparent. 1t says
that "When Dewey put his money into
tax titles on worthless land and ere
ated a county fund to pay the poverty
stricken county officers, he was a pub
lie benefactor aud that section was
loud in praise Of him." In reply to the
poverty stricken county" this paper
wishes to penetrate the thick ignor
snce Of the Mercury by saying that the
warrants drawn on the county treasury
Of Sherman county have not been be

Low par since 1897, I've years before
Dewey bought auy tax titles IN this
county Aud Sherman county l. now
and has beeu tor years in better hnan-
efaI condition than Riley county, the
home Of the Mercury. Sherman cOun-
ty has always paid the state Of Kansas
its full quota Of state tax, and the Mer
curry editor cannot say that for Riley.
According TO the state treasurer -
port, Riley county has been delinquent
10 state taxes year after year. And
moreover this county was the first TO
send In state money for this year, OF
all the 105 counties in the state. Riley
county at the last report has not paid
the state cent Of 1903 taxes Neither
at any time was Dewey ever heralded
as a benefactOr Of this country, and as
for putting his money into +Worthless
land, !" We thought that the Mercury's
idea of DeWey's business insight. was
far better
The Mercury also characterizes the
people Of this county as horse and cat
tie thieves people who have destroyed
the property Of the DeWeys and dog
ged their steps with threats Of VIC
lence. This is also false, aud the Mer-
curry is malicious in its designs. No
guns were ever carried in northwest
Kansas until the Dewey men came;
and, with one exception, never was
there a man killed By violence since
1887, and that tragedy was the result Of
a quarrel over a claim. The people Of
this county are law abiding citizens,
and none Of them are under the cloud
Of murder and crime, as is Chauncey
Dewey and his companions.
The Mercury editor viii please take
notice Of the report Of Mr.. Hitchcock,
secretary of the interior, disinteTest-
ed party personally and q nonresident
Of Kansas. Hitchcock says in plain
English shat De8eys spared neither
life nor property, and not only have
the crops Of bona fide homesteaders
and settlers been destroyed By the
cOmpany's cattle, but the people them
selves harrassed and intimidated by
/ threats Of violence made by its agents
and employees, their fences cut and
dwellings deliberately moved of their
hOmesteRds, and q number Of them
have been compelled By OutlaWry TO
abandon their entries and seek resid-
ence elsewhere"
Will the Mercury also consider that
upon proper and sufficient evidence
the Deweys and their agents are now
under an indictment by the grand jury
for violations Of various federal laws
| All this tells who were the desperadOes
In this part Of the country. The mer.
curry should try a more plausible de

subsidized, it must Of course throw dirt

"There ere two men who in the

sympathy and they are the man with
the mumps and the prospective faith

who is planning an Easter wedding
for his daughter, to writer in the

no! This is a wedding! He couldn't
think of serving a hundred people for
less than 5000, and that would include
champagne punch. l insisted that
common, everyday punch was good
enough, but the caterer succeeded in
convincing me that only champagne
