Here is good one from the Topeka State
Journal, and it will be appreciated by Populsts:
care the majority of the people of the Unit
ed States just catching up with the Populists
of twelve years ago? There are some things
which indicate as much. If you happen to
have relic Of the days of Populism in the
shape of some of the literature that was pub
lished at that time, you will be surprised at the
similarity of some of it to things you see in
the staid Eastern papers to-day.

this. 1t is not yet quite decade since Mr..
White pointed out, in his characteristic way,
what was the matter with Kansas. Now Mr..

FROM THOMAS W. LAWSON.

The AGIrAToR is in receipt of the following
dispatch from Thomas w. Lawson, of ''frenzt
finance" fame:
BosToN, May I1.-Twelve months ago,
made to the American people, in the "fo1e-
word" Of my story, "Frenzied Finance" a
promise to expose the operations of the most
nefarious and destructive band of brigands this
or any other country has been oppressed with.
The "Syste n" met my promise with ridicule +,
and their hirelings, from one end of the land
to the other, chorused, "He will never dare
tell"

which the American people were robbed of

feel-and l think you will agree with me
when you have read what tell-that it is of
vital Importance to the whole American people
that they-every man, woman and child-know
the facts l expose.
So far have given year of my time and
some 5000, 1000 of my money to get my message
to the American people, and would ask if,
because of this fact, and the further one that
seek nothing in return for my work (for have
nothing to sell and no Office or other thing to
ask of the American people), you cannot see
it in the light OF public duty to do all in your
power to get he June chapter of my story TO

to do so. THOMAS w. LAWSON.

The Poor Packers.
From Morgan's Buzz.Saw

From Morgan's Buzz.Saw.
The poor packers who constitute the beef
trust are having some hard Shedding just now.
A gentleman who has had very intimate
knowledge of the Strengthening and packing
business in all its phases has just demonstrated
that in place of being sort of benevolent in
stitution, as Mr.. Garfield seemed to think, it is
making forty.three per cent on the capital in
vested; that instead of making only ninety nine
cents on each beef slaughtered, as Garfield re.
ported, the trust is making 50 or. 1t seems
that Mr.. Garfield made general calculations
threw in for good measure the head and tail,
CUTS and feathers, and about twenty other by
products out of which the trust makes large
profits, and by reason of which it has been the
contention that the trust was good thing be-
cause of the economy of saving all these things.
The side products are blood, witches, hoofs,
skulls, jaws, skins, knuckles, glue, bladder,
heart, liver, cheek meat, wea ;and, OK lips,
tongue meat sweetbreads, tripc, tails, brains
tongue, castings, hide, stearin, olso oil and tai
low. These side products on steer amount
to $I5.I4.
1t Is very likely that Mr.. Garh' Id is innocent.
Having spent most of his lifetime in school.
he could not be expected to know that an ordi-
nary steer possessed all the things enumerated
above. He probably thought Of the tail and
the head, but desiring to be generous, he ''let
them 60 with the hide" and made no mention
of them. The other things he perhaps never
knew were the natural appendages of an aver
age steer. What Mr.. Garfield needs is year
or two more time and opportunity to study
the anatomy of steers. Theu give him another
whack at it, and he will perhaps report on the
whole 'job lot'

Enthusiastically she meets the situa

ACCORDING to Topeka dispatch to the
Kansas City Times, Governor Hoch's political
friends--or some of them-are urging him to
keep hands off the pronibitory question The
Governor is beseiged with visitors and letters
urging him to let the liquor dealers alone.
Some of these men say that, during the cam.
paign last fall, they gave the liquor men to un.
derstand that Governor Hoch would be Fright"
with them-wouId not modest them. The
Governor is making haste slowly in the matter.
He has said that he is anxious to get the in
vestigation of the state treasury and other state
departments started before he takes up the
liquor question. The politicians will try to
find enough to keep him so busy that he will
not be able to get into the liquor fight. If he
persists in taking up the fight, they will see to
it that he will not be re-nominated.

THE city council of Paola had the streets
around ,the court house sprnkled with crude
oil last week, using the residuum that remains
in the bottom of the tanks after the oil has
been run into the pipe liue. This was au ex-
pertinent, and appears to be a success. In
California, roadt are treated with oil, and they
are splendid roads. The method in use there
is to plow up the road and pulverize the earth
thoroughly and then saturate the dirt with OIL
Later it is again stirred and more oil added.
1t is then rolled with heavy steam roller
This makes a road almost equal to asphalt.
We would like to see the experiment tried on
tho streets of Garrett. If it proves success,
it would pay to begin on the roads leading into
Garrett. The goodroads agtators should adj
vocate this crude-oil scheme.

THE Standard Oil Company has just declared
dividend of 80 per share-a quarterly DIVE
dend, mind you. And yet, only few weeks
ago, the company said Kansas had so badly
crippled it that it could not borrow the morey
necessary to make certain Improvements. Too
bad! Wonder what the dividend would have
been if Kansas hadn't crippled the Standard!
