A FABLE.
A thrifty female squirrel in south
eastern Kansas, who was bleeped with
a large family of children, gathered
her off-spring together and' said: "My
children, next week we must becriu to
gather our winter stores." And the
young squirrels who did not read the
papers, cried out as with one voice,
saying "Why mother, we cannot
gather nuts until after frost." But
the old squirrel simply winked her eye
Boftly with the air of one who knows,
and 8 aid: 'Children, I see that you
are not on. I have just been reading
a poster on the fence down the road
announcing that there will be a repub
lican meeting in this grove next Mon
day afternoon." Ex.
mismanazers: there aie others. T

r A FEW FACTS
Whkh the last week's Mercury did
not mention concerning
Insurance.
The editor of the Kinsley "Mercury,
in criticising McNall in his last issue
made a correct statement, but his
statement was misleadme .in that it
was not complete. He correctly stated
that McNall turned into the state
treasury for1 the year 1897, forty-one
thousand and some odd dollars, and
that Anthouy in the year 1895, turned
in forty-five thousand and some odd
dollars, leaving his readers to infer
that Anthony had collected about
$4000 0 more in 1895 tnaa McNall
in 1897. '
The facts in the case as shown by
reports of the Insurance Commission
era are that for the year 1897, McNall
collected $74,712.25. The difference
between the amounts collected and the
amount turned into the state treasury
is $33,490.79. You see by these fig
ures that McNall collected a very
much larger sum than the sum collect
ed by Mr. Anthony, but Mb. Anthony
turned the most money into the - state
treasury.
The question then najturally copes,
up as to what became of this thirty
three thousand and some odd dollars,
the difference between the amount col
lected by McNall and turned into thi
treasury. Right here I want my
friend of the Mercury to make a note
of the fact that this money, as the
records of thtP Insurance Commiss
ioners office show - was distributed to
the Firemen's Relief Fund of the state
of Kansas.
We make this correction, not with
the view to criticising the editor of
the Mercury, that is , unnecessary.
he being a lawyer by profession whose
business it is to make a good case for
his client, in this case the republican
party. ,
The full facts in the case are as
stated: Mr. McNall collected in his
first year's business for the state of
Kansas, over $74,000, all of which is
satifactorally accounted for in his
annual report recently published, and
Mr. Anthony collected, from all
sources the sum of forty-five thousand
and some odd dollars in the first year
of the business of the office under his
control. If our republican friends
can make any capital out of this item
that will reflect on the administration
OUR REPRESENT AVIVE.
A few; reasons why you should vote
for Malin for representative:
lst. Because he is a good reliable
man.a
2nd. Because he made a good
representative.
3rd. Because he is a farmer. Tha
back-boue and sinew of Kansas hoi
farming class. We are distibctly an
Agrarian commonwealth and bin
iptercsts principally agricultural.
Mr. Beezley isa lawyer. The busi
ness of a lawyer is to live upon the
people. Mr. Mafia is, interested iu
bringing about better conditions of
I industry. Mr. Beeale.v in his pro-
j fo?siona,l capacity a a lawyer is in
terested in' turning things over to the
corporations and, then being pad by
men to redress the wrongs he has
helped to inflict upon them.
4th. Because the republican paper
in tne county indirectly called Mr.
Malm a fool. All decent citizens
should resent this S04I ef campaign
material. Mr. Malin is one of our
substantial citizens, a man of honor
intelligence and integrity. t Perkaps
the editor regards tBe farmers as a
class of f oois. We" hope not.
The Mercury write-up of the- popu
list convention illustrates pretty well
to what straits the republicans are
driven for something to say. against
the populist candidates. Having ab
solutely nothing to say against the
character or qualifications of any of
the candidates which would bear any
semblance t to the truth, they pro
ceed to "down" Messrs Clark and
Fravel on the ground that they are
not resident of this county.
The Mercury did not state what
constitutes a residency , but it seems to
us that if Clark and Fravel are ineli
gible to office on the ground of being
non-residents, our present post-master
who was boomed for office before he
had "fairly got the travel stains
brushed off his "clothes, is about as
much entitled to his office as an abo
rigine of the Sandwich Islands. Same
with our county clerk. However, we
do" not go On the theory that one
wrong rights another, and we are noi
making the comparison by way of an
excuse lor uars aua r ravel lor no
excuse is neccessary we're simply
giving an example of how convenient
ly a republican ad justs his principle
to suit the occasion. The fact is, Mr,
Fravel has been a resident of this
county for nine years with the excep
tion of two years which hd spent on a
farm in Ford county. Mr. Clark has
taught school in this county for six
year and has lived here continuously
during t&at time with he exception of
the time he has spent at the State Nor
raal and occasional visits to bis fa
ther who lives in Pawnee county. He
is a teacher and holds a certificate,
somethtng of which his opponent
cannot boast, and which fact the Mer
oury eonveaiently forgo; to mention.
Altogether the article was a pretty
good scarecrow considering the scar
city of material from wich t make it,
but we fear the effect will exjloue the
old theory that "re-action is equal
1 o fiction in the contrary direction'7
for in this case ro action seems to have
a down hill pull.
The other day Webb McNall was
going to one of his appointments and
he ran across Mortf Albaugh on the
train.. Mort inquired whether he had
noticed the long list of populists who
were coming over to the republican
side. Webb replied, that he saw a re
port one dayjhat John H. Smith had
gone over. The next day J. H. Smith
was reported. Shortly after J. Henry
Smith was added tothe list, and he
expected that John .Henry Smith
would fall in line also. Advocate.
The republicans all over the state
have practically' given up the election
of their state ticket, and are concen
trating all their strength on a fight
for representatives. So dont forget
that James Malin will tfava the heft
of the county fight in this campaign.
Stand by him.

who has subjected thousands of bra ve
American soldiers to fever, neglect
and starvation in oltler to make a
political matter of the war. TIiU
'owor of patriotism" is like to
wither rapidly as the gaunt feveiv
atricken soldiers come 'home to reyeal
the methods of the administration in
dealing with the men who volunteered
to go forth in the natron's wervfee.
The resolutions passed at therepub
lican conveation severely condemn
the yellow journals who are after the
McKinley and Alger war record.
Among the so-called "yellow jour
nals" are the Jew Yorjc Herald, !
World, and Tribune Harper's Week
ly, Scientific American, Chicago
Times-Herald and Dispatch. . The
Kansas City Star, and. the Kinsley
Graphic. If .these are yellow jour
nals, the epithet must be an; honorable
one.
The Mercury last week attempted, to
be funny. It says that Malin was a
weak candidate two years ago and
has been growing weaker ever since.
He had strength enoug-h two years ago
to defeat Mr. Beezley so how about
the weakness "of the republican can
didate. He A'ill jH'obably have an
attack of the sam-j kind of weak
ness (l') again this November.
When the investigation commences
as to the cause of the suffering among.
our soldiers in camp, the republican
press will be mighty busy with the
Dreyfus affair.'
