On last Saturday night he again made his
appearance and as the window was fastened
down he did not succeed in raising the sash, Il,
so went to one of the doors when the young

WHAT THE FARMER WANTS.

The farmers of Harrison county do
not want their property TO be assessed
OF full value, if either peoples property
is not to be returned for taxation. They
do want to pay their honest proportion.
They want all notes that are drawing six
per cent interest to be assessed, Just the
same as their property is. The proposed
tax bills make no provision for taxing
those notes, other than the present law
does. The proposed law requires that
farmers shall pay taxes on not only their
farms at full value, but on every con.
ceiyable thing they own. 1t does not
make that requirement OF the money
lender. Again, 1T should be observed
that the proposed law takes taxes off all
city and municipal bonds. That is not a
good thing for the farmer. That brings
him no relief, but, to the contrary, adds
to his taxes. These are only few Of
the things that the farmer does and does
not want. Above all he does not want
the proposed tax bills to become law.
What he does want is equitable taxation.

THE PASSING OF JOHNSON.

Tom L. Johnson has again been defeated in
Ohio, and by majority that forever shelves
him as an asprant for gubernatoral honors and
removes him from the list Of presidential posi-
bilities. Ir other words, he is !'dead duck, ="
politically.
This does not mean that any principles of re-
form for which Mr.. johnson may have stood
are dead. o, no! Principles never die. But
it does mean that Tom L. johnson is not the
man to push those principles to the fore cause
their acceptance by the people. 1t is not
enough to say that Hanna and his friends had
an enormous slush fund on hand, and that they
spent money like water to defeat Johnson and
elect Hanna legislature. We would not, for
a moment, doubt such statement. But it. is
hardly possible that Hanna could BUY such a
majority as that which buried Johnson clean
out OF sight. 1t appears more like he does not
enjoy the full confidence of the people of his
state. In some respects, he made a campaign
similar to that made by w. H. Craddock, OF
Kansas-lower taxes--but aside from that, there
was little to commend him as a candidate for
governor. At least, that is the way it looks to
u.s.. Mr.. Johnson never stood square on the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms, and there
were thousands of reformers who lacked conf
dence in him and refused to support him This,
added to the Cleveland Democrats who sup
ported the Republican nominee, and the pur-
chasabe vote, made Mr.. Johnson's election
impossible. He is now back NUMBER and
will soon pass into political oblivion.

LABOR UNIONS.

On the first page of this number of the AGf-
TAToR is all article by 10 McDll, in which lie
attacks labor unions. 1t is well worth reading,
too 1t contains food for thought,
We endorse part of the writer's ideas, but
not all Of them-not while the present system
exists. Indeed, labor unions seem to be a
Unnecessary evil" So long as capital is organ
lied against the laboring classes, the laborers
are compelled to organize and combine for their
own protection. Yet, it is true, as 10 McDill
saws, that labor unions are selfish, unpatriotc
and unbenevolent. But they must be all of
these to cope with the capitalistic combination.
Labor unions are working against their own
interests, however, by not going into politics
and combining at the ballot-box. They have
the necessary votes to get whatever they want,
and it is their own fault if they don't get it.
But as we have said labor unions seem to
be Unnecessary evil, and we will have them
them until we get Socialism; and when that
time comes, labor unions will cease to exist
they will be unnecessary, for then, this nation
will be one great, grand Brotherhood, and the
interests of each will be the interests of ALL
Hasten the day.

HARRIS FOR W.AGGENER.

| Ex-senator Harris is report ed 10 have mace
some very fattering remarks about Balie Wag.
gener as candidate for governor According
to newspaper interview, he said of Mr.. Wag-
gener:
'He is first-class man. more competent
or more brilliant man for the place could not be
found in Kansas if the state was gone over with
fine comb. Waggener would make a first
class race"
This causes William Stryker to make the
following caustic remarks i'll his paper, the
Peoples Voice, OF wellington
"The above, preceded by some statement
that he is out of politics, appeared in an inter.
view with Senator Harris in the Kansas City
Star, October ED.
eff Senator Harris is correctly reported
Populists and the great majority of Democrats
will regret that they ever voted for him, and
will not regret to learn that he wants nothing
more at their hands.
ICY Leland, M. A. Lowe or any other Re-
publican who could be named would be prefer.
able to Bailie Waggener for governor, and SEN
ator Harris knows it. The sooner or harder
Senator Harris or any other Kansas Democrat
or Populist who gives utterance to such scnti-
ments is set down upon, the better.
"The meanest men in public life to-day, the
greatest hypocrites and frauds, are such men as
Cleveland and Waggener whop pose as Democrats,
but who have nothing in common with the par
ty-are trying to disrupt and tear it down.
Democracy stands and will stand for what it
did in the two last national campaigns. If Sen
ator Harris or anyone else-c not stand for
that the only consistent and manly thing to do
is to get out and into the Republican, party,
where they belong. For every one of the re-
organizers, ten earnest supporterters OF the
peoples cause will come"
