impromptu speech from the stage
There is nothing more witty in Mr.
Pickwiclz'' than his remarks at the Her
aid Square ftheater, New York the
night he opened the play and IN the
course of which he said one of the chief
pleasures Of being in New York was
the escape from constant travelling.
The first night I struck the town,
said Mr.. Hopper. I found I couldn't
sleep. everything was so quiet: so I
hired a hotel attache to come in and
shake the bed and throw pillows at me
until I dozed off peacefully"
He also added that he had discovered
a new variety Of Virginia creeper in the
shape of one of the railroads that pass

eies does not seem to be confined to
that particular region, however. ac-

REPUBLICAN AUTHORITY.

The EmpOrle Gazette is presided over
by probably the most gifted republican
editor in the state of Kansas. Not
long since that paper contained the
following scathing aFraignment of his
party leaders, and others. In speaking
OF the late lamented legislature, he
said:
There Is reason 10 believe that
money was used there and that certain
leaders, men Of both sides took money.
What this state needs 80 bad It is Just
naturally hurting for 1t, IS some man TO
come along who is not afraid to raise
hell. He'll is under cover hsre-it is In
both camps. A governor or an attorney
general who would start an INQUIRY
into boodling would make himself 80
everlastingly popular with the people
that all the politicians with dirty I'm.
gers could not harm q hair of his head.

"Get in the BandWa9sA. I"

A few years ago a young man OF
more than ordinary talent came to
Barber county and engaged In pro
fession. He met up soon after coming
here with certain political acrobat and
local celebrity and formed his &C
quantdnceshiD. The celebrity and
acrobat related his experience to his
new friend (who. by the way, was a
Democracy and told him that If he ever
expected to cut any ice In professional
or political way he had better climb
into the g. o. p. bandwagon without
delay. If he failed to do this the power
of the machine would be turned against
him and he could not hope to succeed.
The Democrat, however, did not take
the ADVICE Of the politician and he gave
his advisor an off hand opinion OF such
tactics, but in few years there came
a chance for TIE advisor to have his
threat put into execution, and the in
cured man is now looking for new To-
cation where he can follow his business
without being injured on account Of
his politics.
What has happened to this man has
happened to many others and will con
tinue to happen until the machine
which now controls our public affairs
is driven from power. Under the
present order Of things a man must
not only be stanch republican but he
must be machine republican ready
and willing at all times to subscribe to
anything and everything the machine
may desire. Ii there ever was q time
when there should be united opposi-
tion to such methods, that time is now.
Thus 1T seems that the publishers of
the Index are not the only people in
Barber county who have suffered at
the hands Of the gang on account of
their political convictions.
But the day is dawning when the
people of Barber county and the state
of Kansas will rebuke such methods.
The days OF the machine" are number
ed and it Will soon be relegated to q
place where it can no longer carry on
and add to It's long list Of Indecent and
outrageous acts.

cases against the trusts. Many months
have elapsed since this money and those
attorneys were placed at the disposal
OF the administration, but no action
has been begun. There is on file with
the Attorney General more than one
case against trusts, prepared by private
enterprise, such as the case against the
coal trust prepared by William B
Heast and the case against the tob acco

years, but it has reposed In peg!eon-

There seems TO be nothing that can
