THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VIII. A HOG RANCH IN MISSOURI! It is a Profitable Industry and Would Pay Negro Stockmen to Look Well in This Direction. Cattle ranches covering great areas of land and devoted exclusively to that branch of business are numerous throughout the Southwest, but a "hog ranch" in the same sense is something new. Farms devoted to the raising of hogs are often termed "fine stock farms." That is, one particular breed of "thoroughbred" hogs is raised, usually for show and breeding purposes solely, and nearly always as an adjunct to a farm where on the principal industry is the raising of corn or wheat, or the pursuit of agriculture in a general way. The Raymonds of Paris, Mo. have now engaged in the raising of hogs for the market on a gigantic scale, having, in fact, a "hog ranch" similar to the cattle ranches of the large raisers of that class of stock. Raymond and Son have 250 acres of land divided into pastures of ten and fifteen acres each. These small pastures are seeded to clover and blue grass. Pigs are turned into these pastures when they are approximately a week old. twelve families to the pasture. They are left there until weaning time, when the pigs are taken to other lots prepared for that purpose and put on a little less than full feed of specially prepared food, usually spaked corn. One hundred and fifty to two hundred of these half-grown pigs are kept in a bunch. The sows are returned from the small pens where they have reared their families to a large timber lot of about forty acres, from which they had been taken to small pens before the pigs were born. The proprietors keep about two hundred brood sows and these raise each year an average of two litters of five pigs each. When they first turned their attention to raising hogs on an extensive scale, the Paris ranchmen had a mixed breed, about like those seen on the average farm. They are now rapidly adopting a cross of Poland Chinas and Duroc-Jerseys, however, and are pleased at the result. For their particular purpose—raising hogs for the market. They are just now beginning to ship one bunch of about three hundred large hogs from the fattening pens. Under the present arrangements the hog farmers expect to ship an average of two cars a month the year around. Some of the partly fatted hogs will be sent to the "finishing plant," owned by the firm at Malcolm, Io., where they will be fed after passing the grass pasture stage, and from which place that contingent will be sent to market. The originators of this new industry are convinced that a hog ranch on a much larger scale than theirs would be a paying investment. They lay great stress on the necessity of plenty of clear, running water, and say that the ideal hog farm should have plenty of timber and pasture, with bluegrass, and be susceptible of raising luxuriant crops of clover. As an adjunct to the hog-raising feature, they point out that corn and other crops for feed can be raised most advantageously, for the hogs fertilize the land until the various lots can be alternately used by the hogs and for corn. Many farmers allow their hogs to "take care of themselves," but these big ranches give them every advantage possible, not alone of feeding and clean water, but of shelter from the rainy and snowy weather. Each of the small pastures has a large shed, 16 feet long, eight feet wide, six feet high in front and three feet high at the back. Into this the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, 10, AUG. 1906. brood sows and their families of small pigs can retreat during stormy weather and can sleep there at night. The sheds have cement floors and are kept clean and tight. These provisions for cleanliness and the fact that they have plenty of clean water and green, growing food, to get which they must stir about and exercise, is regarded as good insurance against cholera. All the hogs are dipped once a month to keep them clean. The theory of a clean hog is a new one to some people, and possibly, originated with the Raymonds along with some of their other innovations in the art of raising porkers for the market.—Post-Dispatch. Kanzas Odd Fellows Meet. The Twenty third Annual Session of the District Grand Lodge No. 17, G. U. O. of O. F., held in Coffeyville, July 17, 18 and 19, was a grand success. Tuesday morning District Grand Lodge No.17 and District Grand Household of Ruth No.12 met in joint open session, with many visitors and citizens in attendance, at Woodman's Hall, and listened to a number of able addresses. An address of welcome in behalf of the mayor of the city was delivered by Mr. J. P. Dusire; response by Thos. Glover, D. G. M. of Wichita. An address welcoming the delegates and friends to the homes of the citizens was delivered by James Thompson; response by P. H. Bassett, D. G. S. Address of welcome on behalf of Household of Ruth of Coffeyville was made by Sister Mary Roan, and response by Mrs. Jas. L. Harper, of Wichita District, M. N. G. The session then adjourned. Tuesday, and Wednesday until noon were spent in regular business Wednesday afternoon memorial service was held at Sardis church, conducted by Rev. W. H. Denton, of Newton, assisted by Rev. Robt. Cov. of Salina, with James L. Harper, of Wichita, as master of the ceremonies. Thursday morning was devoted to regular business and election of officers in both District Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Ruth. The following officers were elected by the Grand Lodge: Thomas Glover, D.M.; C. A Finney, D. G. M.; P. H. Bassett, G. M.; W. W. Shobe, G.T.; C. S. Williams, G.D. Officers elected for Grand Household: Mrs. Cora Yeager, M. N. G.; Mrs. Lucy Anderson, N. N. G.; Miss Lettie Carson, G. S.; Mrs. L. Taylor, G. T.; Mrs. R. Napier, G, D. The officers were installed by Rev. Cox, assisted by J. Harper, at Brown's Hall, Thursday nights during the grand entertainment, at which one of the leading features was a drill by Topeka Patriarchs, No. 105, commanded by Capt. B. Arms. The closing feature of the program was an address by D. D. Hope, M. V. P., of Topeka. Thursday afternoon there was a great street parade, led by Topeka Patriarchs, followed by Grand Officers and Sisters of Ruth in carriages, and local lodge following in regular marching column of three abreast, traversing the principal streets and returning to Woodman's Hall. A Good Time at Almal The celebration at Alma August and was a grand affair. Much credit is due the colored people of Alma for the manner in which they handled the affair. Prof. Jackson's Military band furnished music for the occasion. Over five hundred people attended this picnic. In the afternoon speeches were made by the county attorney of Waubaunsee, the PLAINDEALLR man and Mr. Andrew Jordan, who gave some wholesome advice. The colored and white citizens of that county know how to treat people. SUPT. DAYHOFF AND SEPARATE SCHOOLS He Has "Worked" the Negroes and is Now Trying to Defeat the Republican Party by Advocating the Democratic Ieda of Jim Crow Schools. I. L. Dayhoff, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will recommend to the next Legislature the enactment of a law separating the races in all the public schools of the state where the conditions will justify the erection of separate school buildings for the Negroes. "In my biennial report, soon to be issued," said Mr. Dayhoff today, "I shall suggest to the Legislature the enactment of a separate school law. I would have a law that will provide for the separation of the races where there is 25 per cent. of Negroes in the school district. I think that a smaller per centage of Negroes than this might be allowed to attend school with the white children. There are hundreds of school districts in the state where there are not more than two or three Negro children, and it would not pay the district to erect separate schools for them. In the places where the races are now separated the Negroes seem as well pleased as the whites, and I think we ought to have a general law on the subject." There are a number of Negroes throughout the state who are not satisfied with the laws separating the races in the public schools, and who will oppose a general law on the subject next winter. A large delegation of Negroes called on Governor Hoch and requested him not to sign the measure separating the races in the Kansas City, Kas., schools, and the Negroes who were leaders in that movement are expected to oppose general legislation on the subject next winter. Although Mr. Dayhoff favors the separation of the races in the schools he is opposed to keeping the Negroes off from the school district boards. He is also opposed to the method of carrying the school district fights into the politicial parties and electing a board all of the members of which are of one political complexion. A bill on this subject was killed by the Legislature of 1905. Mr. Dayhoff will also recommend the enactment of a minimum salary law, making the smallest salary a district may pay a teacher, $40 a month. The state will assist districts where the maximum tax levy is made and the amount of revenue still insufficient to pay the expenses of the school. The same bill will also provide for a minimum school term of eight months a year. Another bill favored by the superintendent will provide for a teacher's pension fund. This has been tried in other states and it is found that it encourages teachers to remain in the service.—From the Kansas City Journal. What is the matter with Insley Dayhoff that such a sudden change has come over him at this time? Has the Republican party deserted him or has he deserted the party and its principles? When Mr. Dayhoff was a candidate for superintendent of public instruction, he did not think separate schools was the wise thing, that it was une publican and not legal nor morally right. That the schools are supported from the public funds and those who do not care to send their children because Negroes, Indiaps, Japanese and other races attend should send them elsewhere. This was the expression of Dayhoff in a conversation with the writer two years ago. Now that he is going out of office and has got all he can out of the party and the Negroes, he ought to continue to be a man, but probably he has strayed so far from the principals of honesty and the party that he can't help himself. From the tone of his report he is preparing to go to Texas, tell or the Democratic party, we do not know which nor do we care. We believe he did this to defeat the ticket. Whatever disappointment he has met at the hands of the party is due to his own uselessness. The party is calling for honest, straightforward men and if Mr. Dayhoff has fallen short of the mark, it is not the fault of the party or the colored people. Both have been kind in keeping him in office four years, has enabled him to conduct a school journal at Hutchinson, that the pedagogues have taken with a fear that if they failed to pay for the Dayhoff journal that they would not receive any consideration at his hands. They have poured money into his coffers, and now he has grown above the common people who elevated him from obscurity. This journal also kept him in close touch with the book trust which enabled him see that no harm be done the dear people unless time was called and some one satisfied. We kept him in office to make it to Hutchinson without cost to himself and edit his school journal. Dayhoff's separate school scheme is not the idea of the Republican party in Kansas nor is it the wishes of the good, upright Christian men and women. Only the riff raff of any race favors such a measure. Dayhoff, learn a little sense. LINCOLN NEB. Miss Florence Hawkins and her sister, Miss Bessie Henderson, were here from Falls City last week and attended the Booker T. Washington lectune at Epworth Lake Park last Wednesday night.

Washington addressed a tremendous audience at the opening of the Epworth assembly last Wednesday. It is estimated that fully ten thousand people were upon the ground that night. Mr. Washington spoke in his own way, the Negro problem being his principal subject. He gave many strong evidences of the worthiness of the Negro, and his many illustrations kept the audience in good humor. Barring a few, the majority of the crowd enjoyed the lecture to the last. Our people turned out in good numbers. As Mr. Washington says, "The Negro will be cured." George Miller and family left on Tuesday for Winston Salem, N. C., to remain in future. Dr. Booker T. Washington left last Thursday at 5 a. m., for the East. Covenant and communion services were enjoyed at Mt. Zion on last Sunday. A. L.

Nathan Smith is able to be out again. NUMBER 32. WHITE FIEND OUTRAGES A CHILD! Crimes of This Character are Getting Common Among the White Brutes of This Community. James B. Morris, a laborer, was arrested last evening by the police and turned over to the county officers charged with an unspeakable crime against his 5-year-old daughter, Anna. He has confessed and signed the confession. His confession is corroborated by the written testimony of his son Eddie, 11 years old, who witnessed the repeated crime, and the baby herself. The three have slept together since Morris's wife was sent to the asylum at Osawatomie about a month ago. She was particularly fond of the little girl and it took the efforts of half a dozen officers to separate them when she was declared insane. The testimony in the case is clear. The family lives at 423 Ash street. The matter came to the notice of the officers through a married daughter of the man and sister of the baby, who discovered the condition and took the child to a physician. Morris has been working for the Independent Telephone company as a laborer. He is a man of about five feet and five inches, dark of hair, eyes and moustache, and weighs about 150 pounds. His statement is that he was born in 1850 and is about 50 years of age.—Topeka Daily Capital. What in the world is the matter with the white people that they won't all do right? Why don't some hot-head talk lynching or burning? This crime is heinous, most brutal of all crimes; why don't the daily papers cry out for blood? Had this been a Negro the columns of the papers would have been bulging out with glaring headlines about the outrage and the entire Negro race condemned for the crime of one moral degenerate. Every loafing white person would be saying, how immoral is the Negro race; how unfit they are for citizenship! If the white men would only consider, a crime committed by a Negro should not react on the Negro race any more than a crime committed by a white person would on the white race. A criminal is a criminal, whether he be white or black. No race or society should be held responsible for the vicious acts committed by one of the race. If a Negro is a Jim Crow, put him with the Jim Crows. If a white man is a Jim Crow put him with the Jim Crows. A Jim Crow Negro is no better than a Jim Crow white man. We think the colored people who believe in the uplift of depravity, should get busy among our white brethren. This is the fourth or fifth crime similar to this one, committed in Shawnee county and the city of Topka, in the past year. There is too much crime being committed by the white people in this community. If the Daily Capital, Journal and Herald will keep the whites straight, and have them treat everybody fair, and apply the Golden Rule, we will continue to keep the colored brother straight as far as it is possible, as the association is such that notice of crime has to be made.

G. Byrd, 675 Hood St., Portland, Ore., who says that excellent opportunities are now offered for progressive colored men and women who wish to improve their opportunities. There is great demand for them, as the white people of that section of the country are getting tired of Japs and Chinamen; they do not want anything but progressive and industrious colored men and women. No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigidly enforced. It strikes us very forcibly that the colored people of these states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seldom, if ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business. Take advantage of this opportunity and scatter over the great West. NOTICE. To the Teachers and others interested: Knowing that the schools have closed in many places and that the teachers have changed their post-offices during vacation, I take this method of communicating with them.

A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundeean. Runs had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found owing to the enormous friction to have been started carefully and heated to such point to be in burning upon easily in contact with the air; nor could in shoes press his spout our ignition. We leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any image, t charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

It was the grandest affair ever held by the farmers. Every farmer's wife and child appeared in his best and had a fine time. There was music, speaking and entertainments of all kinds. One of the most intelligent speeches ever made was given by Prof. Carter of the Topeka Industrial Institute. His subject was "The Claim of the Negro He related an intelligent antidote about the Negro land marching through Georgia and about the whites playing marching through Georgia to a colored celebration. They fought when no white man would fight. He spoke about the great stand of the black boys in blue, about far off in Hatii when those brave black men fought for freedom. There were visitors and strangers from all of the surrounding countries. The white people joined in and tried to help make this a grand affair. The people of Nicodemus have made wonderful progress in farming and educating some of the best farmers. The country is level, the soil is fertile and the crops are good. If there are any four young men that are expecting to become farmers, this is the place to go. We wish to praise the farmers as to their progressiveness and men of the west, all we can say is to go on, your labor is being crowned with success. A few years ago you had just started out, your homes were built out of sod, but today frame and stone houses are taking their places and now you are living independent. PITTSBURG, KANSAS.

He was born in or near the town of Harrisonville, Cass County, Mo. He was a slave and at the out-break of the war enlisted in the First Kansas Colored Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He may have went by the name of Rhine or McAfee, having been owned by both slave holders and therefore used both names. Any information concerning him or any expense incurred in doing so will be paid by his son, Mr. L. E. Gideon, Brocton, Mass, or 302 West Fulton Street, Chicago, Ill. This is his son, who is the owner and originator of Gideon's Refined Negro Minstrels. He is very anxious to learn the whereabouts of his father, and we hope all who read this article, especially the old timers, will give this careful consideration and investigate to the fullest extent. Mr. Gideon's son is a gentleman of refinement, culture and wealth. He is one of the leading showmen of the country, carrying thirty people and has been ten years. He and his mother would profit considerable if they could locate him. Hours: Phone: 7-10 a.m. Home 114 2 4 p. m. Bell 140 7 9 p. m. DR. N. B.

FRIDAY, AUG. 10, 1900. We are sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Woodbury, wife of the county clerk in Pittsburg, Kans. She was a devoted wife and a Christian woman. She has done much for the upbuilding of our young colored girls in securing educations from the Pittsburg Mannal Training school. Deputy County Clerk H. I. Monroe spoke to a large crowd at Eskridge August and. He says that the farmers are prospering, and that the colored farmers of Waubaunsee county are rapidly gaining ground. Mr. Monroe spoke from the same platform with Hon. Charles Curtis, who is to be our next U. S. Senator. The white people who run clubs in Topeka should be satisfied with clubs without going into the restaurant business. Almost every club has a lunch counter, and they are taking business from those who are paying taxes. These clubs ought to be satisfied handling beer, without handing out a cup of coffee now and then, and trying to run a lunch counter and hotel at the same time. The white people of this country are too apt to get greedy and overdo the thing. People of this kind ought to be clear out of the reach of the man who is trying to continue on the road to prosperity. The Western Negro Press Association has been called by Pres. W. H. Duncan of Colorado Springs, Colo. to meet in that city Sept. 21-22. All Negro journals are requested to be represented at this meeting. It is doing much to uplift and advance the Negro race, and all who are interested in this movement should be present and advance their ideas for the continuation of success. There are but a small per cent of the Negro race interested in the advancement of the race, but let everyone get interested in this great meeting at Colorado Springs, Colo. SHERIFF'S SALD.

Your Life Current. Your Life Current. The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, periodical pains, indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is needed; something to increase nerve energy—strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves, produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills I was confined to my bed. I had severe nervous spells, the result of being wilted with nerve pain. Gradually grew so weak that I was unable to sit up. The spells would commence with cold chills, and I would become weak and almost helpless. My circulation was poor. I had doomed right along but grew worse. My nervine seemed to strengthen me right away and my circulation was better. I have taken in all seven bottles of the Nervine, and I am entirely well." ROSA B E WEAVER, Stuartus, La.

JOSEPH. MO. Drs. W. H. Hudson and G. G. Brown, Messrs. W. A. Covington, Arthur Lett and other star tennis players of Atchison, Kansas came overto St. Joseph Tuesday and spent the entire day playing the second Inter-State Tennis Tournament with the crack tennis clubbers of St. Joseph. The matches opened on the beautiful and excellent tennis court at Twenty-third and Messanie streets, owned by the local tenn's club. In the first match Dr. G. G. Brown vs Dr. W. S. Carrion 9-7, 4-6. The third and deciding set was not played, owing to Dr. Carrion being called from the game. The final set stood when broken up 4-4. As usual, Gene Simme beat Arthur Lett 6-1, 7-5. St. Joseph doubles decisively beat Atchison represented by Dr. Brown and W. A. Covington, 4-5 6.2 6-3. Mr. Simms and Alexander Lyons beat Arthur Lett 6-4. W. A. Covington was ill and could not finish his match. The match, though won hands down by the superior playing and skill and generalship of the St. Joseph players, yet it was close and at times very exciting. The old man of the sea, Dr. G. G.

The next session of the National Negro Business League will be held at Atlanta, Ga, August 20th, 30, and 31st. The Executive Committee, with the officers of the organization, will meet th day before, August 28, for the purpose of canvassing the work of the year past, and to finally arrange matters of detail in connection with the Atlanta session. Plans are now being matured for special coaches an trains to run into Atlanta for the meeting from New Orleans, Indianaapolis, Chicago, points in Mississippi and Kansas, from Washington City, and from one or two other points. It is very important that those desiring information as to lodging and other comforts in Atlanta should correspond at once with Mr. G. M. Howell, First Vice President, 101, Wall Street, Atlanta, Ga., and that those desiring information as to transportation, etc., should correspond with Mr. Cyrus Lull Adams, Transportation Agent, 931 S. Street, N. W. Washington, D. I. The National Negro Business League stands for the elevation of the negro people in business and commercial directions, but recognizes fully the necessity for work also in other directions, such work, for instance, as being done by the Afro American Council and institutions religious and secular organizations. During the last period of its existence the League has given the new hope and new light and added truth. It has stimulated the entire race in business directions. Largely through its influence nearly 2000 local negro business leagues have been organized, business of nearly every character such as merchandising, banking, real estate dealing, manufacturing, contracting, and others, have been started. Twenty two banks are now being operated by the race right of these in Mississippi alone. No less than fourteen of these banks have been started since the League was organized. Two theatres have also recently been built. What is your community doing? If it has no local micro business league, it should organize one at once. It should also send a delegate to the Atlanta meeting. Has your local micro business league secured a charter? It not send at once to Mr. Fred R. Moore, National Organizer, 1 Cedar Street, New York, who will send full information. I wish to urge again that each local league have a regular place of meeting, and a stated time of meeting, at least once a month, and that the topics for discussion be carefully selected. The citizens of Atlanta and Georgia are preparing to give the last time the greatest reception in its history. Many of the strongest and most successful of our men and women will have places on the program. It is hoped that delegates intending to be present at the Atlanta meeting will bring their wives with them to the social functions in connection with the coming session promise to be a feature of the meeting. Splendid programs to bring make for the annual banquet which will, at its will, supply all on not only the meeting, should and will be met on occasion of last and to be well will be history. the National Narrative Business Firm believes that the future of the busi- ness largely an constructive process, positive efforts that will consume the world of our wealth and ability. invites the co operation and the helpful interest of all who sympathize with a program which seeks to benefit the race along such lines as it is working. Tuslogee Institute, Ala. Aug. 1, 1906. There promises to be considerable interest among our colored people in education this fall. The most unique experience that has ever occurred to the writer was in Topeka. Ile, in company with Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, called upon Secretary Coburn in his office in the State House. While in conference with him on a matter of business one of the clerks cane in and begged for a minute of Mr. Coburn's time, that he had two gentlemen (white) that he (the clerk) was very anxious for him to meet, and further stated that the gentlemen were in a hurry. The writer, from previous experience, expected Mr. Coburn to immediately excuse himself, but to his surprise, and calling forth his deepest admiration, Mr. Coburn replied: "I am meeting two gentlemen now." The clerk had a face like seven days of rainy weather. The writer's hat off to Mr. Coburn. Truly he should be in the senate. The world is in need of such men. Such men that will always have the refusal of the highest honor. G. A. GREGG.

First published August 10th, 1906. OVERMYER, THE FLOPPER Has Been on Every Side of Every Public Question. And has Delenged to Every Political Party ever Organised in his time. Except the Socialist—Liable to Join that Before the Present Campaign is over—Ryan Returns his Santa No Pass—Why Doesn't He turn in his other Railroad Passes—Harris buys a Nassau lot at Lawrence—Does he intend to pitch a Tent there for the Summer—Other Matters of Interest. David Overmyer, the democratic legislature for attorney general of Kansas, has started out on what his friends say will be a "whirwind campaign" of the state. Overmyer began his "whirwind campaign" at Round City. His most interesting statement in a two hour speech was in characterisation of Gov. Keoh me in "Irrepliot and sedworm." This from David Overmyer known to not only in Kansas as a republican, and governmental, professional, and forward commander, but also as a senator, gold standard democratic, Gov. John Overmyer, friend of the republicans, and all round political influencer artist. He has been well said of David Overmyer that he has at some time been right on every political question that has ever been before that people of Kansas. He has been on all sides of all questions and now compiles a position, so the proposition question that is actually the response to the question he has posed throughout all his previous public life. Overmyer is this year one of the most spirits of the democratic campaign to elect Col. W. A. Harris, of Chicago, governor of Kansas. Overmyer is also making his campaign on a platform pledging both he and Harris to right enforcement of the statutory law. In 1934 Overmyer was a candidate for governor on a straight democratic ticket, running on a resubmission platform. L. D. Lewelling, two years before elected governor by the democrats and populists combined, was a candidate for re-election on the populist ticket. W. H. Harris was a candidate on the same ticket with Lewelling for congressman-at-large. Overmyer opposed both. On the straight ticket with Overmyer was J. G. Lowe as a democratic candidate for congressman at large. Overmyer and Lowe polled sufficient democratic votes to bring the defeat of Lewelling and Harris and elect E. N. Morrill and R. W. Blue. It was openly charged throughout the campaign that Overmyer was not honest in his candidacy, that he hoped only to bring about the defeat of the populists. Immediately after the election at which Lewelling was defeated the Topeka edition of the Ottawa Journal, edited by E. H. Snow, and the official organ of Kansas populism, contained the following comment regarding a statement made by Overmyer that he was satisfied with the result of the election: "While Dave Overmyer did not get elected governor of Kansas there seems to be a pretty general understanding that he pulled the leg of the republicans for about as much as the salary would amount to. No wonder he is satisfied with the result." The populist party never recovered from the defeat administered to it in 1894. In 1897 the finishing touches to the pops were put on through the breachery of W. A. Harris, H. P. Farrell, W. H. Ryan and Balle Waggener, who caused the defeat of the maximum freight legislation the pops had promised the people. The destruction of the populist organization in Kansas can largely be attributed to Harris, Overmyer, Farrell, Ryan and Waggener, the very men who are now running the democratic party in Kansas and asking the assistance of the very populists they so shamelessly betrayed and deceived in 1894 and 1897. Harris, Overmyer, Farrellly and Ryan are now bound together by a common hope that they may gain control of public business in Kansas and distribute political pie to the famishing democrats who co-operated with them in the destruction of populism. There is no probability that they will again be placed in positions where they may betray the people of Kansas. Overmyer, who for years has blown hot and cold on all political propositions, who has attempted to be all things to all men, can not deceive the voters by speaking of Gov. Hoch as an "irresolute angleworm." RETURNS ONE PASS. But Ryan Holds on to the Rest- Caught with the Goods on Him. N. W. H. Ryan, chairman of the democratic state central committee, has been scared into returning his Santa Fe railroad pass to Judge W. R. Smith, the general solicitor of the Santa Fe, who gave it to him. Ryan was given a Santa Fe pass after his election as chairman at a meeting of candidates and committeeman at which it was decided that the railroad pass is an unmized evil which the democrats will prohibit if they succeed in their purpose to elect Col. Harris, of Chicago, as governor of Kansas. Ryan gleefully accepted the Santa Fe pass and was mighty glad to get it. He used it without reservation until republican newspapers discovered the difference between democratic promises and democratic practice. Of course Ryan did not intend to hark it generally known that he was using a pass and when the public was informed of his deceit the insincerity of his position was so plainly shown that he was forced to discontinue using his pass. As is customary with most of the public men who have been returning their railroad passes recently Ryan returned his through the newspapers. He addressed a long letter to the Kansas City Star regarding the matter which was printed before the Santa Fe authorities received the letter returning the pass. In the course of this letter Ryan made the statement that not one of the democratic candidates for state office is using transportation. Mr. Ryan is mistaken. At least two democratic candidates are using transportation every time they ride on a train and this can be proven to the satisfaction of anyone who cares to investigate. W. H. L. Pepperill, of Concordia, secretary of the democratic state committee, has not returned his railroad passes and if his own statements may be taken does not intend to. He presented a pass to a Union Pacific railroad only a few days ago and when asked to explain how he could use a railroad pass while emulating in the direction of a political campaign on an anti-pass platform laughed inscrutably and mild: "These reasons can hurt our anti-pass laws as long as they want to but I propose to keep right on riding on passes as long as I can not them." These are simply samples of democratic diversity. They have no bearing on the right and wrong of the way we use of power but simply show that the democratic leaders are not bound in their platform clamor for reform. With Martin, Bryan, Wagner, Threlly, Owneyayer, Pupperill, or of a political platform, is simply what David Bennett will described of "homeQing to give in on." But with regard to Chairman Ryan and his purses—does he not now carry purses on other roads than the Santa Fe? Harris dictated the selection of Ryan as chairman of the state committee. Ryan dictated the selection of Jan. W. Orr as a member of the executive committee which is conducting the campaign for Harris. Orr is a Missouri Pacific attorney and partner of Dale Waggener. Ryan has returned his Santa Fe pass. Now will he return his Missouri Pacific pass? When he does that he will have partially squared his party's promise with democratic practice and it will be up to Secretary Pepperill. CARR TAYLOR SPEAKS. Shows What has been Accomplished Under the New Railroad law. The voters of Kansas are undoubtedly deeply interested at this time in problems affecting the regulation of railroad freight and passenger rates. The republican party in Kansas is standing squarely on its record regarding railroad regulation in the present campaign. The republican party has given Kansas the only effective railroad legislation it has ever enjoyed. The present railroad law in Kansas spoken of by W. R. Situbbs and numerous other leaders of the Circic League as the best railroad law ever enacted by any state in the Union—is entirely of republican construction. Its principle provisions were the work of republican senators who will serve again at the approaching session of the legislature. Its passage was recommended by Gov. Hoch and the finished bill as passed received his approval. It was Gov. Hoch who appointed Carr W. Taylor as attorney to the railroad board. It was Carr W. Taylor, a republican, who instituted the only cases under the new law which have brought relief to shippers. Taylor's work has not been challenged or the integrity of his administration questioned by the most rabid "railroad balter" in Kansas. Following are to be found Taylor's opinion of the republican railroad law and the benefits it has brought to shippers. Since the new law went into effect suits have been commenced by the attorney for the board to reduce rates on hardware, groceries, paper, coal, grain, salt, implements and vehicles and cattle; also a number of minor cases affecting certain lomities. An action is also pending in the courts to test the constitutionality of the new side trunk and elevator laws. The foregoing cases have all been tried before the commission except the implement, vehicle and cattle cases which will be tried in September. The board of railroad commissioners made an order in each of the above cases reducing the rates. The institution of these actions resulted in the railroads making certain reductions in rates, on slack coal, salt and groceries. A large reduction of the slack coal rates was made just prior to the trial of the coal case before the board. The rate from the Frontenac coal field to Topeka was reduced from $1.13 a ton to 80 cents a ton, and from the same field to Newton and Wichita from $1.25 to $1 a ton. Similar or larger reductions were made and put into effect to nearly all points in the state using steam or slack coal which includes pea and nut coal. It has been estimated that the saving to steam users in Topeka and Wichita alone amounts to approximately $100,000 a year and that the saving to the people of the state amounts to approximately $1,000,000. The board made an order adjusting rates on groceries from the interior jobbing points to all points west. This order was compiled with by the railroads, but is unsatisfactory to some of the interior jobbing points. Some Memphis Bu Memphis Business CALL AT THE Palace Barber Shop F. W. Melson, Prop.
