good words to say for our present rep
resentatiye, J. &. Mohler:
Among those with whom we met
pleasantly during our recent visit to
Hays City we desire To mention Mr..
Mohler, talented young lawyer of the
Salina bar, who is favorably known to
many of our citizens from his practice
in the courts of of this county. A born
practitioner, Il gladiator, whose natural
arena is the courtroom, few attorneys
in the western portion o: this state have
won SO commanding position, especi-
ally in criminal practice, as Jerry Mob
Ter. IT Saline county is wise, it will re-
turn one in every way SO well fitted for
the position as its next representative,
and in the state hall of legislation again
let that fearless, ready voice, which ever
commanded respect, ring out in advoca-
cy of the rights and interests of tho bith-
erto ignored west.

the 18th, while the army appropriation
bill was under discussion, Mr.. Hewitt,
of New York, tried to enact the role OF
the statesmen by creating q taxation

the Republic shows that this has been a

but other leading nations of the world,
