moil treason
The duty of the eoldier in the Philip
pinea is to obey ordure. The dnfy of the
American cltisen at home U to use
every Influence at hi command to nee
that the right kind of ord.r are sent.
What, might with some propriety be
called treason In the solder who bus
sworn to obey bin superior officer, lu
the sovereign citizen sVeotne the high
est patriotism. The tff.trt of the impor
laliat organs to place the fr.e American
citizen upon the same pla as the sol
dier In the regular army I high treason
to our form of government. It mean
the establishment of military govern
merit In the United States lu Its most
absolute form. The cry, "I am for the
government right or wrong" Is the most
slavish, debasing cry ever raised by a
sentient, human being, It baa been
tim f.rv nf snrv too of tryanny since
the world began, No honest man, no
man who believes In free government, no
man who has the slightest respect for
the teaching of holy writ, oan lor a mo
ment entertain the thought. The very
Iduaof it should brluff the blush of
shame to the cheek of the American olti
zon. To the soldier or the sailor, that
must be the cry as long a the barbar
Ism of war exists. No other crylspor
mlssableforblm. Hut if taken op by
ths sovereign, law making citlxon, It Is
high treason to all forms of free gov
ernment. When the government starts
on a wrong course, wbon its tendency la
to establish tyranny, when its evident
object la to enslave mankind, must we
go forth and shout; "I am for the gov
ernment right or wrong7" The men who
do it are sneaks and cowards and trait
or themselves. Who Is the government?
I It Mark Hauna, Alger and the trusta?
Must we endorse whatever tbey may do
whether it is right or wrong? This gov
ernment is not a military government
yet, 'although it may become eo. Its
clt Irons are not yet In the condition of a
common soldier who must not ask the
reason why. There la where those im
perialists would like to place us, but we
are not there yet and there will be some
trouble in this land before they getue
there, i
tub wouns or Lincoln.
At the eame time tbat the republicans
pretend (we say pretend for that la the
rbbt word) to follow Lincoln .they de
nounce Jefferson, liut Lincoln didjnot
talk that way, In bia letter to Mr.
'rluce, of Iloston, Mr Lincoln said: "The
principles of Jefferson are the definitions
of free society, And yet they are denied
or evaded with no small show of success,
One dashingly calls them glittering gen-
sralites; another stylus tbem self-evident
lea. , , ,
""Those expressions, differing In form
are Identical in object and effectthe
supplanting the prlnolplea of free gov
ern men t and restoring thou of classi
fication, caste and legitimacy, They
would delight a convocation of crowned
heada plotting against the people. They
are the vanguards, the sappers and min
ers of returning despotism, We must
repulse them or they will subjugate us.
"All honor to Jefferson the man who
In the concrete pressure of a struggle for
natioual Independence by a single people
had tbo coolness, forecast aud capacity
to Introduce into a merely revolutionary
document an abstract truth, applicable
to all meu and all times, and so embalm
It there that today and In all coming
days It shall be a stumbling block to the
barbingera of reappearing tyranny and
oppression."
When Lincoln said that these declara
tions of Jeffurson would In all coming
days be a stumbling block to the har
bingers of reappearing tyranny, ha apoka
with the force and powvr of one of the
old Hebrew prophets. Today they are
the chief "stumbling block" la the way
of Mark Hanna and McKinloy, How the
advocates of mllitarylsm while tbey
seek to overthrow free government in
the name of Lincoln, must cures the day
that the great lover of mankind wrote
tbat letter to the Iloston Jsffersoa
club,
As this coterie la Washington go In
their "plotting against the prop!" and
are "delighting the convocation of
crowned heads of Kurope," all la th
nam of Lincoln, this letter remain a
warnlug to all lovwra of liberty, r- tu

A good many populists lu this state
are Inclined, because tbey have noil
feeling for any one, to give aid and com
fort to the socialist party. Tbey are
madlug a mistake tbat will cause them
regret all their lives after, The socialist
party is making propaganda in every
state In this Union, and tbey seem to
have plenty of funds to do it. Tbey are
not populists, do not vote the populist
ticket and have nothing In common
with populists. Thoy declare tbat tbey
are In favor of.revolutlon. They oppose
every reform, Anything that would In
the least have a tendency ameliorate
the condition of the masses tbey look
upon aa detrimental to their Interests!
Tbelr candidate for governor in this
state not long ago read a paper before a
society of socialist her the title of
which was "Involution, not Ileform."
Now no populist has or can have any
sympathy with a propagation of revo
lutionary theories. We are for reform,
for evolution, not for the overthrow ol
society. There la grave danger ahead
thinking men In all parts of the country
are beginning to doubt whether wo can
maintain order and make life safe while
the reforms tbat populists demand are
being inaugurated,- Socialists don't
wont order they want revolution and
say so, The whole doctrine Is a f srelgn
importation. It ba nothing la com
mon with American ideals. The Inde
pendent is sorry to see good men in this
state who would recoil In horror from
the schemes of these revolutionists, if
they only knew what they were, giving
aid and comfort to tkoni.
The scheme of the social labor party Is
clearly defined by Marx, Moguls and
Kautsky, There can be no mistaking
about It. Tbey eay: "The product of
labor belongs to the state or commu
nity, and from which each one receives
bis part, bis'shuro of the product of the
ral toil." The Omaha platform
says that; "Wealth belongs to blrn who
creates it." The man who says that
populism Is socialism or that socialism
is populism might just as well say tbat
night Is day. Thoracis just us much
sense lu tbe one proposition as In the
other, Tbe Indeiiendent pleuds with
these good men who would no more ad
vocate the horrors of a revolution than
tbey would murder their wives and
bubles to be more careful In tho future.
There an very dark clouds on the soolul
horlson. Let us not help to Inaugurate
a tempest which brings with It death
aud destruction. We have so far always
been right. Let ua remain ao.
The populist party and tbe eoclal
labor party are two distinct organiza
tions with different onds In view. To
parties voting for different candidates
cau't bs one party and no man oan vote
both tickets. Ho It Is impossible to be a
populist and a socialist at one and tbe
same time. You can be oue or the other
but not both. Which are you? Make
up your mind and then etlck to It.
COMINO TO TIIKIK SKN8KS.
Kansus has some of the most bigoted
aud boss ridden republicans In tbe Uni
ted Stated, but even some of them seem
to be coming to tbelr senses. Some
years ago lbs city of Topeka had a
starch factory which It hoped to see de
vested Into a large aud thriving Indus
try. The prospects were good for a
realisation of this hope until th trusts
cam along, took possession, summarily
discharge! the workman and boarded
up the windows. Slnee that time tbe
Topeka starch factory has been given
over to the bat.
Th secretary of tbe Topka Coming
clal Club wrot to th main oltlos

A DISGUSTED PUBLIC.
The attempt ofthe republican party
to use tbe soldiers in the First regiment
for political purposes ia the most dis
gusting thing that has occurred in poll
tics In this state for some time. There'
suit of it all is tbat every decent man in
the state feels humiliated, Tbe truth
aoout tne matter is tbat all tbe real as.
slstance and help that soldiers have re
ceived baa come from the fuslonlsts.
Tbo republicans have always been will
ing to send thanks and lots of tbem, but
not an effort bas originated In tbe re
publican party to do anything else than
send thanks. The World-Herald bas
ruisod thousand of dollars and sent tbe
money to tbe soldiera in the field. Not
a republican paper boa ever attempted
to raise a cent. It is fair to say tbat as
these thousands came from from tbe
subscribers aud reader of a fusion pa
per, that all the help the soldier boys
have bad bas come from tbe populists
aud democrats while republicans have
stood off and yelled "thanks,"
Their bypocrisy had the best demon
stration however when their leaders in
tbe legislature framed a resolution of
thanks Involving an endorsement
of Imperialism Sand then tried to
curry favor with tbe soldier boys byj
saying wiaiino governor naa vetoed a
resolution of thanks, Tbey did this bo
cause they bad Just voted down and
killed a bill to send tbe boy some mon
ey. i be populist governor preferred to
a
sen n mom some money instead of an en
dorsmnent of Imperialism. That , trick
to get the people of tho state to endorse
Imperialism was about on level with
the dirty work of a ward politician who
gets a nomination by currying favor
with the managers of tbe bawdy bouses
on the bottoms. Tbat is the extremost
height that a republican politician in
this state auems able to rise to, Tbe
wbolo oonntry is disgusted with tbem,
Wharton Darker In a letter to the
editor of tbe Dalton Georgia Herald
says:"I have accepted tbe leadership uot
because of ambltiom but because I have
thought I was equal to It.and I was con'
fldent that many thousands of men here
tofore republicans and democrats would
vote for mo for president." Wharton
thinks tbat tbe republicans love blm
more than they do McKlnley and tbe
democrats have more confidence In blm
than they have In Bryan. Who else be
sides blm tblnk so?
Tbe Interest In Aryan's speech was so
great In Uuffalo, among republicans as
well as among democrats, tbat tbe
Uuffalo Express, a republican paper, was
forced to print It in full to satisfy the
demands of its aubcribers. Tbla is the
first time that any republican paper
ever printed ouo of Bryan's speeches,
here may be some truth In tbe state
ment tbat all tbe old Abe Lincoln repub
leans la northern New York have gone
over to Dryan In a solid body, '
A farmer who bas had much sickness
In his family writes to tbe Independent
not to discontinue bis paper, because bis
time Is up but to send it on until he can
got the money and says: "Wbon I con
sider tbe truths you advocate every
week In your columns, which I love to
read aud meditate upon, I fuel as though
would be lost without It. I only wish
that more of our papers would dare to
comment on the present state of affairs
and our boasted Christianity as is done
lu your columns."
A populist governor appointed' S tot-
son berg, a populist governor promoted
bim to the command of tbe regiment,
against ths protest of the whole republi
can press. A republican legislature cen
sured 8 tot mm berg and asked for bis re
moval. Now tbe eastern gold bug
papers say tbat be was ereouted from
tbe beginning by tbe populists and that
tbey are responsible for bis death. Tbat
is only another specimen of the infinite
amount of lying that tbe republican
tress Is all the time engaged la.

That there Is nothlngfin the Chicago
Record s movement for the municipal
ownership of tbo street our lines In tbat

Yerkes stocks have been on the rise ever

those running that campaign to Intro

Since the nomination of Dryan by th
populist national convention In St
Louis, the leaven of populism bas been
working In every democratic camp all
over tbe United States. Today there
are hundreds of strictly democratic
papors that are not only denouncing
"coin redemption" but are advocating
evory plank in tbe populist platform
Some of them, as now converts are prone
to be, are more radical than some of the
long established populist papers that
have been in tbe fight from tbe begin'
Bill. tsss -S-C3
Tbe educational force tbat the popu
list party has set In motion cannot be
stated In any formula, but It is every
where manifest. It Is felt alike in the
highest and tbe lowest grades of society,
The professor poring over his books, the
minister in bis visitations among bis
flock, the lawyer In bis office, the wage
earner in bis shop or bis society, all are
more or loss Influenced by the doctrines
first enunciated In the Omaha platform.
In fact, what may be called "populism,"
Is tbe uplifting force affecting the
thought of tbe people today. Those
wbo were instrumental In setting this
force In motion may well feel proud of
tbe work tbey have done, ,
Tbe object and aim of education
should be to put an end to crime, pov
erty, social corrnptlon, Insanity and all
tbe Ills from which we sufflur. To fill a
boys boad with languages, mathemati
cal problems or even tbe technique of
tbe modern sciences Is not or at least
should not be tbe object of education,
Tbe aim should be bigbor than tbat,
A student may know most of the things
taught in tbe common schools and uni
versities and yet boa cypher In tbe forces
that tend toward tbe uplifting of the
baman race. All the time and all tbe
money spent in education that does not
train the student to become an active
factor In tbe upblldlng of mankind la for
the most part wasted.
There are two political partloe in this
oountry which are antagonistic. One Is
the people's purty and the other is the
eoclal labor party, the membere of which
call themselves socialists. Notwith
standing this state of aflalrs, the Saun
ders County Journal says: "Tbe Saun
ders County Journal 'calls Itself and is
a 'populist newspaper,' and yet it is an
advocate of socialism." Then it adds:
"Brother Tibbies simply triea to juggle
with terms. If the government owner-
ship of public utilities is not socialism
also populism tbsn we don't know tbe
meaning and Intent of tbe terms."
' The government ownership of public
utilities, where tbe employes are paid
salaries, which beooms private property,
is not socialism, that Is If Carl Marx or
Proud boo knew what socialism was. In
tbe socialistic colonies of Itnskln and
Equality, the workers bare a common
lnt rest In all the property, but no sal
aries are paid, which tne worker can
use for their own personal benefit, If
ths editor can etraddle as wide apart aa
from pole to pole, he maybe a socialist
aud a populist at one and the eame time,
otherwise not De one thing or tbe
other, brother. You can't be both.

X SNATCH EVERYTHING.
President Jordan of Stanford univer
sity made a speech In San Francisco the
otber day againrt imperialism and C. P.
Huntington replied. Huntington said:
"Oentlemon, I believe that expansion
Is a good thing for the commercial Inter
ests of this country. I believe In snatch
ing everything Insight. That bas been
my motto for a number of years and I
find that It pays better than conserva
tism." Tbat is the time that Huntington told
the truth. He not only believes In
snatohlng everything in sight, but be
fans been doing It without let up for the
last thirty years. Tli0( whole gang with
which Huntington works bus been en
gngedln the same kind of business,
Mark Hanna bas snatched everything
In sight. 80 ba J. P. Morgan. They
tave snatched the last crust of bread
from thousands of women and children.
Tbey have snatched tbe wagos from
workers and I hey will keep on snatching
as long a the republican purty Is In

Science ever marches onward. After
all the wonderful disooverlrs of tbe last
two decades, there seems to be more Just
coming lu sight, but not yet developed,
than all tbat has been discovered since
tbe inductive method was Invented and
men started to find out what was In na
ture. The recent discoveries of Houx'
and Noeurd prove beyond a doubt that
that there are organisms endowed with
Ifo tbat are Infinitely smaller than the
already known infinitely small bacteria.
It is now claimed that the germ of yet
ow fever, as well aa tho of mn.llnnx
measles, and hydrophobia, will be found
among the hitherto unseen animals.
While the bacteriologists have done won
derful work for mankind In tbe last few
years, there is prospect of greater ser

WHAT WILL IT COST,
It took a hundred years for the United
States to conquer tbe Indian tribes of
this country, There are official report
on file at Washington that prove tbat
It cost tbe government 11,000,000 for
every Indian warlorft killed in battle.
not counting women and children. Tbe
''iliplno are more numerous, bettor
armed and just as brave a tbe Indians
were. How much per bead will It cost
to kill tbem? In tbel last flirbt wltb the
ndlans we lost 82 men killed and
