Locally speaking, our republican
brethren OF the press are unchari-
table. Several of the republican
papers of Barber county are dispos-
ed to criticise the Index because it
speaks out in this representative
contest. The criticism is unjust.
The Index, being the only news
paper in Barber county that wears
no politicians shackles, feels that
it is duty it owes to the public to
stand out in the open and tell, SO
far as its knowledge goes, what the
trouble between Representative
Gesner and Samuel Griffin and
their respective friends is. If ii
were not for the Index the public
would scarcely get a hint that the
political pot is boiling; the repub-
lican papers are inexcusably silent,
the issues are not being discussed
and but for our weak efforts the
voters would go to the polls on
primary day as dumb as even the
OK who knoweth only his masters
crib. From out of the heart the
mouth speaketh and in this matter
the publishers of this paper feel a
deep responsibility. Our feeble
pen moves not for Democrats alone
nor yet for square deal republicans,
and no man is so deep IN political
sin but that a careful, prayerful
reading of this humble guide will
be refreshing, and who knows
but that, uncouth and rugged and
awkward as are the truths here
enunciated, they may serve as bea-
con light to rehabilitate some poor
wanderer who has been tempted
out ofthe straight and narrow path
OF political rectitude. Let the raw
ems rave. The bugle call to duty has
been sounded and fate seemeth to
decree that the light shall shine
through this medium. So let 'er
shine tho all the Romans howl.

There now remains little doubt
that Hon. ]. D. Botkin will be the
democratic nominee for governor
of Kansas, and when he is nomi-
mated the chances for his election
will be better than they have been
for any democrat since 1896. Keep
your eye on Jerry Botkin-he's a
winner.
