REVIEWS OF BOOKS

Nct for the undoing OF the public, with
out heart, without conscience, and
without fear OF tho future, The work
is not novel, not fiction, not 2 fnaD-
cial or economic treatise, ''but q true
history Of a war on finance, one Of the
most heartless and conscicnceless of
modern times And certainly Mr..
King has presented story of sensa-
tional strenuosity. There is no mistak-
ing its vivid interest and power; there
is no condoning the reprehensible do
ines which it exposes. And there is
no way of describing with decency, the
things it alleges to have occurred in
the piracy of money. The one thing
to remember, of course, is that this is
Mr., Kings version of the story, aud
necessarily imperfect or partial, Mr.
Lawson is vet to be heard from.
Whether he will reply 10 the book or
not we do not know, but certainly the
book is one that ought TO be replied
to, unless its revelations are to stand
as admitted. And until 1T is replied
to, Mr.. King will have the ear and the
syplpathv of the nublic.

business for the parties interested
to build that walk before the city

to pay for the work a penalty OF
IS per cent will be added, and
the cost, together with the pen
atty of IS per cent, will be certi-
fed up to the county clerk as a

The drug store trial last week
resulted in a perversion of JUS
tice, all through the decision OF
three of the jurors to disregard
their oath to be guided by the
law and the evidence. Nine of
the jurors were for conviction,
but the three hung out with a
determination worthy of a much
better cause. Notwithstanding
the fact that the defendants at.
torney in his speech virtually
admitted several violations of
the law, and asked for the mercy
of the jury, those three men hung
out for not guilty. And some of
the witnesses, too had no regard
for their oaths, or at least did
not show any regard for it. Men
who have been regular patrons of
Brick Mason ever since he started
his gin mill here went on the
stand and swore they had never
bought anything except accord
ing to law. We understand there
will be several prosecutions for
perjury. And there should be.
The case will be retired the lat
ter part of this week.

To The Voters.

AS the canuiuate OF the uen-
ocratic party for State Repre-
sentative of the 26th Represent
alive district Of Ka nsas, and in
reply to letters and oral inquir-
les, / deem it my duty to the
voters to state my position on
the several important questions
at issue in this campaign:
FIRST. l am in favor of such
a revision of the tariff as will
protect only such American in
dustries as need protection and
will take away from the great
trusts, particularly the steel
trust, the power to levy OH the
people an unwarranted tribute.
VI believe that in the revision OF
the tariff, special attention
should be given to over-protect-
ed industries. Since under ex-
listing conditions a tariff is nee
essary, / am in favor Of such
schedule as will afford needed
protection to American indust-
ries without such excessive
rates as to enable them to build
| up trusts and monopolies and
to fix excessive prices upon
their products, as is certainly
done under the existing tariff
schedule.
SECOND. l am in favor of a
Bank Deposit Guarantee law
that will protect the depositors
against loss, and will also pro-
tect the hanks by fostering
proper methods in banking.
THIRD. flavor the State pub
fishing all text books used in
the public schools and selling
the same to pupils at cost.
FOURTH. l favor the election
of the United States senators
by the direct vote of the people,
and until such vote is permitted
I endorse the present primary
system of nominating candi-
dates for the Senate. | favor
such amendments to the pri-
mary law as will make 1t less
expensive to tax payers and
candidates and will make it a
more perfect expression OF the
peoples will.
FIFTH. am in favor of such |
q revision Of the tax law as
will compel each man to pay
his just share of the taxes.
SIXTH. 1 am in favor OF the
right economy in the expendi-
ture of the public funds, and if
| am elected l will do all in my |
power to keep down States ex-
penses. / consider this an i'm
portant question just now.
Economy in the State will per-
NIT a reduction of the taxes, as
economy in the National ex-
penditures will permit the re-
duction of the tariff.
SEVENTH. | favor the passage
Of such laws as will strengthen
and make more effective and
easy of enforcement Of all ex-
listing criminal laws, and the
enactment Of such other laws
as are needed to remedy the
public evils. Yours truly, /!
WALTER T. APPLE.
