sufficient. However, as you ask
for facts, will give them in brief.
First. In reference to your ap
pointment as U. S. District Judge,
l never had any conversation with
Mr.. ingalls, at the Otis House, and
was not aware that he had any
levee there until the Times stated
it. had but one conversation
with Mr.. Ingall in reference to
your appointment, and that was
for few minutes, just before he re-
turned to Washington, d. c. And
IN that conversation there was not
a word said by either of us about
money or any other consideration
for your appointment, either di-
rectly or indirectly. l never paid
or offered to pay money to Mr.. In
gals, or any one for him, in con-
nection with your appointment.
| Second. have to say further,
that in reference to paying Otis
and Click, or any person, money
for Mr.. Ingalls,, that neither my.
self or the First National Bank Of
Atehison, ever paid those gentle
men one dollar for Mr.. Ingalls,
either directly or indirectly, fol
any letters or any other papers
In brief, the whole story, as far a
my knowledge goes, has not TIL
shadow of a claim to rest on.
Respectfully yours,
DAVID AULD.

Professions and Practices.

One of the loud professions of
the so-called Reform party is its
devotion to the interests of the
laboring classes. For Congress,
in the first district, they have nom
mated a gentleman of leisure, who
has not done a days work
in twenty years-is CAPT
talist, owns stock in sew
eral monopoly companies,
and has no sympathy with the
masses of the people. In the Sec
ond district they have nominated
a lawyer, who has for years,
also, been a holder of a fat office.
In the third district they have
nominated fan editor. All these
men are nice and clever and all
that, but are they any better than
the Republican nominees? Are
they any more fully identified with
the laboring classes and the inter
ests of the public than the Repub-
lican nominees? No votes can be
claimed for the Reform nominees
on this score. The "Reform"
is all..in theSname. These nomi-
nees are in no way better than the
Republican nominees, and some of
them are not as good. This is
about the way the Reform bust
ness is running all the way
through.

One of the most prominent edu-
Gators of the state recently re-
marked that the educational inter-
ests of the state were in great dan
ger ut the hands of professed
friends. Expenditures had been
pushed to an extent entirely dis
proportional to the means of the
people until a burden had been Gre
ated which could not be much long
er borne; and unless a change was
at once apparent reaction would
take place under the influence of
which the schools would probably
be shorn of even needed facilities.
The same person said that even
conceding that the people were
abu0dantly able to pay the taxes
they were subjected to, the expendi-
tnre would be unjustifiable, for it
was not only largely without ben
eficial results, but in many respects
positively injurious. Under the in
fluence of the present system, child
rem were being rendered totally I'M
fitted for manual labor, encouraged
with the idea that their sphere of
labor was to be professional; the
home influence and education
which is the only proper foundation
of character entirely ignored, the
pernicious consequences of which
were already apparent. 1t will be
well for the people to examine and
see how much truth there may be
in these significant statements.
There is much ground for believing
that they will bear the test of in
Vestigation.

their exercise of this influence, be-
cause they did just as all sections
will do when they have the power.
Neither do we want a man that
will be narrow-minded enough to
only look ont for his own home.
But by giving the congressman to
the border counties we will give
them an influence and recognition
which they need just at this time
more than ever. The Arkansas
Vslly is growing mp rapidly. This
end of the district, older settled,
and better of in every way, can
well afford to give that valley the
influence which the congressman
will bring them, by a handsome
majority for Judge Brown. We
see NO reason whatever why every
good Republican cannot cheerfully
vote for Brown. His nomination
Is one of the best yet made by the
party.

To save time and trouble, 1t Is suggested
after consultation with such district COM
mitteemen aswe could find, that after the
business OF the county convention Is
transacted, the delegates to the county
convention shall assemble in separate dis
trict conventions and place in nomination
candidates for Representatives for the 6Sth
district, composed OF EmpOria, Pike
and Center townships, and the Goth dis
trict, composed OF the other townships
OF the county.
We urge the Republicans Of the county
to attend the conventions above called,
and see to IL that the work OF electing del
egates is done In the right way. The num-
Der Of delegates is made large so that the
convention may as nearly as practicable
approach peoples convent ion. The COM
mittee Is desirous that the convention
shall be run by the people, and that q
ticket shall be nominated which the peo-
pie will endorse. We leave the work in
the hands OF the people, and trust they
will manifest that interest which the i'm
portance Of the matter demands.

Our Higher Schools

EDITOR NEWS Permit sugges-
ton from one interested in educa-
ton and retrenchment.
One of the most important ques-
tons for the next session of the |
Legislature will be connected with |
the public institutions of the State.
1t is time for us to establish a policy
upon this point.
Our State University has some
$1,000 acres of land, and buildings
worth about 500, 900, but no imme-
mediately productive endowment.
The Agricultural College has no
suitable building, but has an annual
income from lands already sold, of
about $4,000 per snnum. 1t is es-
timated that its endowment will ul-
timately amount to some $4,000.
The Emporia Normal School has
buildings worth $4,000, and nearly
10000 acres of land not yet sold, but
which will ultimately sell for $780,
600.
The Leavenworth Normal School
hsa neither building nor endowment,
and but one fourth the attendance
of the Emporia Normal School. 1t
lives wholly upon annual appropri-
atoms.
Concordia has started similar
school, hoping for a slice next win
ter. Fort Scott wants one; Wichi-
Ia would like one; Chetopa has
begged for one.
At present the Agricultural Col
lcge lacks a building, and the Uni.
versity lacks an endowment. The
building at Lawrence is large
enough for a thousand pupils. Why
not consolidate the two institutions
at Lawrence? The saving to the
State would be very great. The
Agricultural College cannot bC
made a first-class school withou
the erection of costly building by
the State. Nothing but loca
interest stands in the way of con
solidation.
In the same manner the Norma
Schools might be consolidated a
Emporia. There is the only build
ing and only landed endowmen
provided for Normal School work
Before many years this school viii

derived from the sale of its lands

AN IMPROVED FARM FOR $780,
During the heat of the Indian ex-
element many parties left their
homes and improved farms to seek
safety in the older States. A num-
Der of these farms are in the center
of this county, where the resident
would never have seen an Indian,
probably, if he had lived for years,
and some are on the State line,
which is now sufficiently guarded
to make property perfectly safe.
The men have left them-gone East,
and find they need the money more
than If they had remained hero, and
the land is forced on the market
when buyers are few, and conse-
quently sold at shamefnlly low fig
ures. Never before has there been
such q wide field for speculation in
so good a country, and probably
never will be again. If you want
q farm, or cheap land in Kansas,
now is the time.-Arkansas Tray

CHICAGO, ILL, sept. {. 1914.
To Col. Jno. A. Martin:
DEAR SIR--My attention hav-
ing been recently called to series
of charges against Senator Ingalls,
in the Kansas City Times of Aug.
Z, 1874, there is one connecting
my name with q transaction which
is SO grossly misrepresented and
falsified in every essential particu-
lar that to be passed over uncon-
tradicted might be construed into
an acknowledgment of its truth
fulness on my part. The allega-
tions so far as they concern the
Senator, to wit: That he drew
$172 or any other sum per month
for himself, and had a power of at
torney from me "to draw that
amount and did So" is utterly
false and without foundation.
1t is to his credit that without
solicitation or knowledge on my
part in advance that he voluntari-
ly protfered to bestow upon me, q
neighbor and friend, a soldier and
q Republican, small Senatorial
Office, which terminated December
L, 1873. Without further detail, I
will add that my appointment was
without any arrangement or con-
sideration by which the Senator
was TO derive, either directly or in
directly, any equivalent whatever,
sage only the consciousness of
good intentions toward one he
deemed worthy and needing the
position. WIN. MILLS.

JUDGE BROWN.

We noticed, the other day, that
one Of our Republican co-tempora-
ries, perhaps the Woodson County
Post, was hesitating TO support
Judge w. r. Brown, the Republi-
can nominee for congress in this
district, until IL learned further in
regard to his qualifications and
standing as q man. If our word Is
of any value In the estimation of
that paper, or to others who may
be In Q similar state of mind, we
have no hesitancy In saying to them
that our congregational candidate is
In every way worthy their support.
He has lived in this district at least
ten years-at Topeka, Emporia, Cot
tonWood Falls and hutchinson,
where he has been engaged in the
practice of the law. lie is devoted
to his profession, and has attained
n high rank in 1t. We regard him
"a n man OF the strictest honesty
and integrity. He is high mind
ed man, possessed of a fine educa-
ton, having graduated at Union
College, and is q man OF upright
character. He has the ability nec-
essary to the discharge of the duties
OF the ONCE, and we fully believe
will perform them to the satisfaction
of the people. During the past six
or seven years he has heen Judge
of the ninth Judicial district, and
we have never heard the first
whisper agains. his official record.
Il Is as clean as pin. He is in no
sense . politician, and we believe
him incapable Of demagognery. AS
. Judge he is popular with the peo-
plc. And we know that bis candi-
dacy for congress was not thing
he sought after. Almost every dis
trict within his judicial district sent
delegates to the convention instruct
ed for him. We believe him to
be Q man The people can trust.
There Is another reason why he
should be elected. While we do
not believe location should figure
to any great extent In such matters,
yet II there ever was any force in
its claims it exists in this case.
For years Judge Brown has resided
on the border, and has an intimate
knowledge Of Its wants, and Is in
full sympathy with the people. He
lives among them. AL this part of
the state knows what 1t is TO be
"out In the cold" so far as political
influence at the centers lie con-
cerned. We all remember the days
OF the nineteen dIsfranchised coun-
ties" and from that day to this we
have felt the lack Of influence COM
with our importance.
The political influence of the state
has been conferred about the four or
i've larger cities, OF which Topeka,
the residenee Of Mr.. Browns OPP
ponent, has had her full share. We
have nothing to say at all against

made inquiry of him in regard to
the above statement of the Times.
He says it is utterly without found

not the slightest complaint against
Capt. Anthony in the departments
at Washington. The story origina-

his being at Atchison and consult

ARM Torn DRIVE learn from

boy eleven years old, named White,
had his arm torn off in a cane mill
on Long creek, in Coffey county, on
the Sth. His arm was so badly
crushed that it had TO be amputsted
above the elbow. The little fellow
stood the operation like hero
without shedding a tear.
