Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-05-08

LAST Sundays Chicago American contained
dispatch from Topeka which contains the in
formation that the Democrats of the state,
encouraged by the existing condition in the
Republican organization, are pre-
pairing to begin an active campaign within
less than year." Then the dispatch proceeds
to tell what wonderful work Hugh Farrelly,
Democratic state chairman, did last year. It's
simply bid for his reelection to the place.
The fact is, the Democratic vote was large in
spite of Farrelly, and not because of his "ab
ity as leader" Further down in the dispatch
is the stateme mt that w. ]. Babb was nominal
ed for congress by the Populists OF the Seventh
district against Mr.. Clyne, the Democratic
nominee. The fact is that Mr.. Babb was nom
mated about week before Mr.. Clyne's nom-
nation. The sender of the dispatch to the
American says he thinks Mr.. Babb may be in
duced to withdraw from the race in the interest
of Mr.. Cline. Why should Mr.. Babb withdraw?
If the Democrats were anxious for united action
and success on election day, as they profess to
be, why did they put up canddate2 Why
did they not throw their support to Mr.. Babb?
The fellow who sent the dispatch also processes
to believe that the various Republican machines
are fighting each other, and that large per
cent of the Republicans in the district will OPP
pose Victor Murdoch, the Republican nominee.
He will find, however, after the election, that
the wheels in the various Republican machines
were made to work together. Altogether, the
dispatch to the American is very amusing.

ages of Christianity, an usurer, profit taker,
was not permitted Christian burial. The word
''usury'' was aftcrward changed to The word
"interest," and is sanctioned by priest and
laymsn alike. If neighbor borrows my
spade or plow while don't need it, and re-
turns it even somewhat worn, do not think of
charging him for its use; but, should he desire
to borrow of me an equivalent in money,
would demand note, with interest. No won.
der the Japanese minister, Ito, when asked his
opinion of the Christian religion, said that its
principles were good, and he would recommend
their general adoption by his countrymen, pro-
vided England and the United States would
first adopt them. Any system that places the
dollar higher than humanity is unchristian,
and should be changed. This unfair profit
taking system makes women do the work that
men should do, and finally makes the little
children support their parents, who are often
enforced 10 60 idle For instance, 5000 little
children work IN the cotton factories of the
South at wages averaging $50 per week.
The owners of these factories in one year made
aproft of $63 ,ooc, 900. Census Bulletin, III,

Under Socialism, no child will be deprived
of its childhood TO enrich few. Fairgrounds
and schools will be their workshops.
Tell me, which of these two principles is
more in harmony with Christ's teachings3
Census Bulletin No. $50 tells us that, of the
100000 large and small manufacturing estab-
lishments in the United States, less than hall
of them { 32S, 692) own IS per cent of the cap
ital stock of them all. Further, that the aver
age annual product OF each laborer was $2,4sI,
but his wages were only 1887. Who got the
other 81 900? Did they work for L? You
see, 9Th. laborer is worthy of his hire, !" but
the fellow that don't work has the say-so as to
what the hire is worth. When the latorer or
ganizes and attempts to say what he should be
paid, we have tr6ube-busness paralysis or a
coal famine, with women and children freezing
and starving in land of plenty. Truly sad
commentary Of civilized, enlightened, Christ
ian nation!
Don't you think, Brother Vincent, that you
should study what Socialism really means? 1t
does not, anywhere, advocate hate or war. 1t
appeals to your intellect, is always in favor of
free, full and fair discussion, for its advocates
firmly believe that
Truth crushed to earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers
While error, wounded writhes in pain.
And dies amid its worshpers.

CALIFORNIA MASONS BAR WINE.

The grand commandery of the Knights Tenn
plars of California has decided by unanimous
vote that hereafter, no wine shall be served at
Templar banquets. The innovation has been
introduced, it is claimed, so that the order on
the western coast might fall in line with gen
era movement of the same kind in the East
and because the use of wine in the lodge room,
for all official functions, is contrary to the prici
piles of Masonry.
1t is said that the grand lodge of the Masons,
at its meeting next October, will take the same
decisive action, and order that all banquets
given under the auspices of any Masonic lodge
of the state be strictly temperate.
This is long stride in the right direction.

the hands of one who is ripe in military
experience and has thoroughly demon
strated his ability to care for them under
the most adverse circumstances, and
realizing their dependence, it was no
small compliment that the State Guard
officers paid to their Quartermaster
General, and other administrative officers,
in unanimously accepting the Dick bill,
in the convention recently held here. 1t
is doubtful if there will be many more
popular officers in the State Guard than
Colonel Francis A. Macon, when he ar
rives in camp as United States dis
bursting officer, with the cash to pay
the boys for their services. He will dis
burse between $4,000 and $50 900 an
nually to our soldiers. Colonel Macon
has been connected with the State Guard
for about fifteen years and having held
his present position for the past four
years his experience at this time is in
valuable.
Four years ago, just after the Spanish
American war the State Guard was in
deplorable condition, so much so that
many thought its destruction inevitable.
AT this time one regiment was totally
unequipped, having neither uniforms nor
arms and the other two, with the ex
ception of possibly two or three COM
panies, were scarcely supplied with
clothing that was so badly used it was
totally unfit for service. In addition to
these conditions there was practically
nothing due from the government In
view of these facts the Guard faced a
crisis indeed which was overcome only
by the untiring efforts and grim de-
termination of the administrative Of
ficers.
The State Guard is now larger than
ever before and it is conceded that North
Carolina has one of the best equipped
Guards in the country. 1t consists of 36
companies of infantry, thoroughly
equipped and excellent bands, and one
splendid battery of artillery, and is now
prepared to comply with all the require
ments of both the State and government.
The encampment will be by regiments
this summer and will be at probably
three different places. Several of our
progressive cities and towns are urging
their claims for these encampments, but,
as yet. no arrangements have been made.
1t is expected that each regiment will
camp in its regimental district. These
will doubtless be both the most profitable
and the most delightful encampments
ever held in the State.

Reidsville. N. c., April 6.-Somc of the
proprietors of the distilleries in this coun-
ty are arranging to go out of business
since the passage of the Watts Liquor
Law, while others say they will move
their plants to incorporated towns. Even
some will go into Virginia in order to
have protection. They have raised the
price on their goods. At present there
are only five saloons here, paying a tax
of $500 to the graded school fund. Be
fore the tax was increased twenty two
saloons did a fair business. The high IL
cense decreased the number and as a re-
suit only men of means are left to oper-

The agonizing itching and burning of

head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimpies and ringworm the awful suf-

WORKOUT parents, as in milk crust, tet-

edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humOur remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss of hair,
