WHO SUCKED THE EGGS.

The last legislature raised our state
tax from $4,000, 600 (page 672 laws 1901
to $3.50, 900 (page 7SS laws 19O3) raise
of one-fourth. 1t will take it all to pay
the appropriations made by that legis-
lature. All appropriation bills go
through the ways and means commit
tees. If the legislature is extravaganza
Its ways and means committees are re-
sponsible. Senator NoftZger was a
prominent member of the ways and
means committee In the senate. He is
seeking reelection. If re elected he
will accept it as an endorsement of his
course. If those who are responsible
for the extravaganza of that legislature
are turned down it is a warning against
future extraYsgance. The opponent of
Senator Noftzger is Albert Benton
Reeves Of Dodge City. Mr.. Reeves is
opposed to extravaganza in high or low
places, is one of the common people, is
not connected with any combine or rail
road corporation and if elected will de-
vote his time and talents for the good
of his constituents.

AS an illustration of the great
love the republican party has for
the colored race, note the follow
ing clipped from the Topeka
Herald: "The surgeon general of
the army has concurred in the
recommendation of General Grant
that John J. Smith, a member of
the United States army hospital
corps, stationed at Fort Mott, N. l.,
who is said to have married a
negress, be discharged from the
army "for the good of the service. -
Certainly, the colored brother is
all right as long as he votes with
them and do their bidding in
performing mental tasks but as
soon as he aspires to be their equal
then he loses his standing with
the republican push.

The Cresset of Oct. 14th had
signed statements by E. H. Nixon
and Policy Tincher giving dates
and persons to whom they made
proposals to recount the ballots in
certain townships or the entire
county; the Index published signed
statements from Lake, Grouse and
Field showing the falsity of their
statements. With that proposition
the Cresset discovered that they
held the hot end of the poker and
switched the charge onto CDR.
Stout as the democratic representa-
tive We ask the Cresset to pub
lish the signed statements of Nixon
and Tincher and follow the same
by the signed statements OF Lake,
Grouse and Field and let their
readers be the Judge of the facts.
The fact is the recount proposition
by the Cresset is pure tommy-rot
and they are playing on the
credulity of the people and between
the lines are endeavoring to show
the ignorance of their attorneys.
Will the Cresset cite the law en-
towering any canvassing board
to recount the ballots without
formal contest case being, filed and
will it explain to the people why
Nixon did not file a proper contest
instead of taking advantage of a
clerical error made in Elwood
township which the Cresset has
confessed gave him 8 more votes
than were cast for him? Will the
Cresset inform suffering public
wherein any agreement, so much
harped on, between parties here
would have entitled the canvas
sing board of Barber county to
open and recount the ballots? Adj
NIT, Mr.Cresset, that the Legislature
is the sole judge of the election,
qualifications and membership of
its body, which you know is correct
and you will be right once in your
life.

he Leavenworth Times says:

The LeavenWOrth Times says:
There is no trouble about discover
ing the motive of the Kansas City
Journal, which is leading the fight on
the Federation of Commercial Interests
in Kansas. The Journal is owned by
the Santa Fe railroad and would natur.
ally bring what opposition it could
against any organized effort on
the part of men who are seeking an
equitable reduction of shippers rates.
Moreover, the Journal knows that were
the cities of Kansas enabled to transact
much of the business for themselves
which because of unfair freight charges
is done in Kansas City, the effort would
be detrimental to the latter place.
I'm this same connection, Ed Hoch
Is being mlsquoted, or else he is exer-
cising some very bad judgment. Mr..
Hoch is accredited with having said
that the shippers federation does not
represent the commercial interests of
the state and that it is simply all ad-
Junct to the Democratic party.
1.-The federation is known to be a
strictly non partisan organization hav-
Ing as It's purpose solely the promotion
OF lis business interests. With the
aim OF securing the nomination of men
as candidates for railroad commissioner
who were untrammeled by obligation to
railroad corporations and who would
work for an adjustment of the now un-
| fair shippers rates 1t approached the
| delegates to the Wichita convention.
And when the Republicans In conven
| ton ignored Its very reasonable de.
mands. it took the only course that re.
NAMED open to 1t. It appealed to the
Democratic party. That is the sum
total OF what the federation has at.
| tempted politically.
1T is mistake to try to discredil
this organization. There are among its
! membership practically all of the large
dealers and shippers In the state What
they are working for. if secured will be
OF immense practical benefit to the
state and will effect the salvation of

are now limited by exorbitant shipping
rates"

Roscoe ROBINSON, the demo-
cratic candidate for county super
intendent, is not ashamed of his
age.He is "a years of age and holds
a frstgrade certificate, something
that his opponent and the present
incumbent never could claim and
probably never will. Mr.. Robin
son has applied himself very in
dustriously to school work since
his early boyhood and it seems to
US that it is very unworthy of Mr..
Lake, as county superintendent, to
60 around over the county telling
the people that young man is
not competent to hold a respon-
sible position. If the young men
who are trying to equip themselves
in an educational way are to take
Mr.. Lake at his word, then an
education is not a desirable thing
to have and of no practical bene-
fit. A county superintendent who
will thus discourage young men,
in the hope of advancing his own
political interests, is not the best
timber for the office and people
who have children to educate
ought to think seriously before
they vote to put him into the
Office for a fourth term.

Tom KELLY has placed his resig-
nation in escrow, covering his term
for Ioo5-o6 to which he has not
yet been elected. The condition
of the resignation is that anoth-
er investigation of his office by his
friends be had and if another short
age be found he is to resign, if
elected, and the governor appoint
his successor. If no shortage is
found the resignation" is to be
void. That is mighty poor bluff
and should not make Kelly sim
gle vote. If he isn't guilty why
did he pay back the money. Echo

AT the republican state conven-
ton at Wichita Gov. Bailey was
repudiated by his party and Ed.
W. Hoch was nominated for COVER
nor with the balance of the present
state officers. 1t is we'll known
that the Burton crowd controlled
that convention and that Burton
not only dictated the nomination
for Hoch but forced the convention
to renominate 7. T. Kelly for
treasurer. These are we'll known
facts that no reputable republican
will attempt to deny. The situation
now is somewhat changed. Bur
ton is convicted bribe taker and
Kelly and his gang are charged
with base crimes. Can Ed. Hoch,
alone and unaided, purify the self
confessed rottenness of the state
officers?

THE coolest objection we have
ever heard against an officer is the
one that Sheriff Haun covers a
criminal with a gun when capturing
him. A sheriff who would attempt
to take a murderer or any other
desperate character without. first
covering him with a gun is a
chump. Only a few days ago some
officers tried to take gang of train
robbers in St. Louis without using
guns and two of them were killed.
The safe and sane way for an
officer to make an arrest is to get
the drop on his man Or the criminal
may get the drop on him.

TO THE VOTERS OF KANSAS.


Political speakers are seldom frank
enough in their utterances that an in.
dependent or one of the opposite faitn
can take much stock in their speeches.
Elk Gov. Stanley in Emporia said all
the Federation could ask any man to
say in behalf of good government.
The Federation believes in the theory
of country before party; true patriot
| ia for his country first. and party after.
ward.
We fully endorse what Elk Governor
Stanley said in this speech, and ask the
voters to look through the tickets care
fully and fairly this fall, and vote
for what they think is for their own
best interests. If a voter will do this we
have no hesitancy in prophesying the
election of the Federation candidates
for railroad commissioners and those
Senators and representatives who are
heartily in favor of new railroad law
that is just and fair to the shippers and
railroads alike. Mr.. Stanley is report
ed as follows:
The great trouble with our state is
| in the character of the men we send to
the legislature. This IS a representa-.
tive government. Men sent to the
legislature should represent their COM
munities in every way. A candidate
for the legislature should represent his
constituency first politically. second
| morally. He should be man of un-
| questioned probity. Third, from a
commercial standpoint, lie should be a
man of some business standing: fou nth,
he should be man of education and
sense. But what happens? Often just
| because man happens to represent
them politically, represents them in
| one thing, in party politics or affilianon,
Republicans are told to vote for man
who is debauchee, who is dead beat.
| who is ignorant and stupid Why
should republican be asked to vote
for man who misrepresents him on
three important things and represents
him on one thing?
Il hope the time will come in Kansas
when republicans will have courage and
sense enough to vote for men as cand.
idates for the legislature who represent
them most thorough even if they
have to go over into the Democratic
column to do 1t. hope the time will
come when democrats Will quit voting
for lnen who misrapresent them and be
brave enough to vote the Republican
ticket when good government requires
them to do so. Party loyalty is good
thing; l am party man, but loyalty to
country is better thing and should be
first considered. There is good deal
of talk about the corruption uncovered
by the Missouri legislature, but | am
| standing here to tell you if Kansas had
a man as brave and honest and shrewd
as Joseph Folk corruption just as bad as
that in Missouri would be brought out
In another state which 1 need not
mention. We need men like Folk. I
am pretty good Republican here in
Kansas. love the old party; but, say.
[ don't know how it would be if |
lived IN Missouri
1t is said that Mr. Stanley's remarks
along this line brought forth much
applause.
