REPUBLICAN papers of this judicial
district have much to say concerning
the fact that, with three candidates
in-the field I at the democratic pri-
mary, Hudgins did not receive a
majority of the votes cast And yet
they are booming candidate who
never went before the masses of his
party at all, and whose candidacy
was first discovered at the very
small convention which nominated
him. submitted to a republican

DID You ever notice that talk
doesn't hurt a man much? Perfec.
ton isn't looked for in man, and
when some one tries to iniure a man
by ranting al out few faults he
has, the absent one. who is proba-
bly, attending to his own affairs, is
elevated in the hearers estimation,
while the informant 10 lowered ac.
cordingly, If a man knocks along,
doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults, he
has more virtues and they are char
table enough to overlook these
faults But it is different with a girl
or women. No matter how good
and pure a woman may he, let
someone starts an Infamous lie
about her and anyone is willing to
pass it along, and there is always
someone to believe it. That lie can
never be lived down 1t may burn
low but the gossip-loving are ready
with new fuel. Did you every think
how damnably mean some goody-
good people are in this respect?

Long Shirt.

down with the shirt!' will be a
campaign cry among the Kansas
farmers this fall. Not that the agri-
culturists wish to do away with
that part of the male attire which is
tucked within the trousers; not
that they are favoring a return to
Adamic simplicityi in matters of dress
oh, mol Down with the shirt"
means rather frightening of that
garment, an addition of one inch,
front and rear, to the tails that are
never displayed to the public gaze
except from the backyard line on
wash day
Behind the movement is a great
altruistic purpose-a benefaction to
host of tillers of the soil. Union
ism is rampant on the prairies of the
Sunfower state, and the farmers
are being urged to form themselves
into a league for the amelioration of
the entire brotherhood, the raising
ofmortgages, the selling of crops,
etc
When doubter asked skeptically,
GLOW can a farmer help any one
except HIMSELF" one of the torch
bearers of the new faith, the editor
OF a farming journal, answered:
why, we could sell the whole
cotton crop of the United States at
a high rate simply by taking
thought and adding an inch to the
tails of our shirts" The
seoller was covered with confusion,
and the slogan, Long shirts and a
piano on every cotton farm" is now
ringing through the state.
The periodical has begun n vigorous
campaign of education for an exten.

SEPTEMBER's election IN Newton
county will be the first in years
wherein the democrats of that
county will be called on to show
their coIors without direct local
interest in the judicial and senatorial
races. For many years Boone and
other countries have rallied to the
support of Newton county's candi-
dates, and have a right to expect
the full democratic vote both for
Judge Hudgins and Sam Rowland
in the coming election. There comes
to the TIMES rumors Of possible
disaflection in the interest OF local
candidates, but we still feel conf
dent that the Democrats OF Newton
county are too true and honorable n
their party affiliations to permit the
district nominees to suffer, and the
returns in September will show
that we are right.

WILLIAM E, Curtis, in a recent let
ter in the Record Herald, goes over
pauper statistics of England, point
ing out their strange contrast with
those of the United States. While
the Omitted Kingdom shows an aver
age of 22,9 paupers to every 1000
inhabitants, the average in the Unit
ed States is but 1O1 pauper toevery
900 inhabitants; and even this
slight proportion is largely made up
of blind and insane, and the paupers
landed on our shores from other
countries.

The retreat was said, by our men,

the scarcity of rations was fatal to
the hogs along the road. Some of
the BOYS who were hungry had just
captured a razor-back and were
dressing it when Gen. Hindman
rode up. As depredations of that
kind were against orders, the enl-

suspended operations, expecting to
be arrested and punished The Cen

ed meat, looked at them a minute
and asked: "boys, is it fat?' and then
