A. p BURNS, Esq, Emporia, Kansas:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 18th
inst. is at hand, in which you say, 'hav-
ing heard some remarks by tax payers
expressing a desire 10 know how you o.
would act, if elected commissioner,
upon proposition not to levy tax to
pay any more interest on the outstanding
Lyon county railroad bonds" and request
ing an answer.
In reply l would say that am now
and always have been opposed to voting
public aid to private enterprise, such as
mills, factories and railroads. Believing,
as 1 do, that the principle is sOrORg, and
that a majority have no right to vote
bonds of this character upon a minO rity,
could not, if elected, consistently vote
to levy a tax for the payment of the
same. Believing, also, that the tax has
become oppressive upon the people,
should any considerable number express
a desire to resist the payment of it l
would do all in my power to help them.
Very truly yours, w. E. McCREARY.

sundnx SCHOOL Worlk.

Sunday our Sabbath school people
got in u good days work for their cause.
They had expected to have Rev. Mr..
Crafts and wife ut the late county sun
day school convention, but for some
reason they did not get here. The next
thing was to get them to spend couple
of days here at the close of the state con-
vention. This they did, and on Sun
day held three services. They have
a national reputation as Sunday school
takers and workers. The first service
was held Saturday night at the Congre-
gational church, and was devoted to
teachers. On Sunday morning Mr..
mon from the same pulpit, all
the other churches, We believe, hav-
ing given up their services. In the af-
ternoon Mrs. Crafts held childrcn's
mass meeting in the Presbyterian church
The house was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and it was An enjoyable and
profitable occasion. In the evening MIR.
Crafts addressed very large audience
the other churches again giving up ser
vices-on the topic: Studying Human
Nature" Mr.. Crafts is 4 fJrcible speak
CT, makes his points rapidly and enforces
them with the strongest illustrations.
He held the breathlcss attention of his
audience for an hour, and there would
have been a unanimous demand to Ego
on" had the audience been consulted.
No one who listened attentivelY and who
will apply the words that fell from his
lips can but be benefited, not only in the
sunday school work, but in the training
of children in the home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Crabs are doing a noble work, the infiu-
enee Of which must be widely felt, and
The results beneficial, wherever they go
