THE Golden Transcript has
passed the thirty-ninth mile post in
its career. This is rather notable
occurrence considering the fact
that it has been under the continu
Gus management of General
George West. The Transcript has
never faltered in its adherence to
solid democratic principles. Its
utterances on political topics are
always sound, and now we may
safely conclude, seasoned by the
weight of years and experience.
We hope Gen. West may be
spared for another decade or two
to help educate the people along
lines of democratic truth and
righteousness. Congratulations to
the Transcript.

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE.

The Booster complains this
week because we did not abuse
them hard enough in our last issue.
We have tried our level best to
do something that would please
the youth that presides over the
editorial destiny OF that paper,
but we have just about concluded
that it is Impossible. If we roast
him he is dissatisfied, If we touch
him easy he complains that we
tickle instead of hurt. If we let
him entirely alone he presists in
butting in and getting in posi-
ton where he will get hit as re-
suit of our efforts to reach some
one else. A little while back we
were having nice debate with
Bro. Frederick and Clint butted
in and spoiled it. Clint is de-
veloping a disposition to get into
trouble and it is very bad trait
for newspaper man. If he will
pick a couple of rows with some
one else, and give US time to
attend to some others who are
taking up our attention we will
try to get around to him again in
a month or such a matter. Just
now we are putting in a good
deal of our extra time reading
up scripture and other authorities
in order to answer Frederick's
last slap. We are more than
pleased to hear that the Booster
is an independent paper. If that
should turn out to be true it will
go far to prove that its editor has
got some CONVICTIONS that DO not
find their source in the business
office. We should have some
more to say but We have to write
short one on your telephone ar
ticle that will take all the waste
space in THE NEWSPAPER this week
and that is all the kind of space

INDUSTRIOUS DOCTRINE.

Referring to contributions to
campaign funds. the Chicago
Chronicle says: "They are good
or bad, according to the motive
with which they are given and
the use to which they are put"
And then referring particularly
to insurance contributions to the
republican campaign fund, the
Chronicle adds: "The money
used to defeat William Bryan
and the democratic party was
obviously put to good use"
Then, we presume, it is of no
importance that these particular
contributions were stolen from
the policy holders. A great many
desperate efforts have been made
to support "the end justifes the
means" doctrine; but newspapers
of character are not as rule bold
enough to support that doc
trine as bluntly as the Chicago
Chronicle does.

A LETTER from prominent
Delta county cattle man was re-
ceived at this office Saturday, con-
graduating us on our position on
the range question. He sees
nothing of outrage in the Govern
ment charging small tee for
ranging cattle on the reserves. 1t
is our opinion that the charging of
fee is more in the nature of
serving as check to overstocking
the reserves than anything else,
and we believe that it will work to
the benefit of the small grower.

The death of Jerry Simpson
will evoke a flood of stories about
his career, short but dazzling while
it lasted in politics. Simpsons
remark to friend when first
nominated, Wouldn't it beat hell
if should be elected" is authen-
tic. But when he went to Con-
gress it only needed one or two
encounters on the floor to teach
the sharpest debaters in the
House that the "sockless states
man" from Kansas was something
more than a freak The leaders
of the Populists were mostly a
solemn set of reformers and
Simpson was different. the bright
est of them and the most human,
and he became not only the most
famous but the most popular
member of the party. In Con
gress he was feared by some of
the most able Republicans be-
yond any Democrat Pitted against
them. Senator Dolliver, who was
then a floor leader, once told us
that no mans defeat in his rec
objection caused greater feel
ing of relief on the Republican
side than Jerry Simpsons. The
other day Washington paper,
hearing of his sickness, printed a
number of anecdotes that showed
his quick wit and his audacity
in debate. In Kansas the ami
mosities of ten years ago have
passed away and during Jerry
Simpsons sickness, at Wichita,
there has been only one feeling in
the state, of kindness and SYM
pathy towards him, struck down
by disease against which he
made gallant but hopeless strug-
