FACTS VS.. PREJUDICE


Prejudice is hard 10 combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in a day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years
Forinstance some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed SO
before them, SO did their erandfathers.
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think So
The only wayne know to meet popular un
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS, and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they arc facts. It is a fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic

Getting Serious.

Really the United States government
will soon have to lift some nation by
the back of the hair and sling 1t INTO
the middle of next year. 1t IS getting
so that every Insignificant three-cent
poWer on the continent feels itself III
position to misuse our citizens and snap
its puny fingers in the very eye OF the
American eagle. 1t is all well enough
for the papers to talk about Editor Cut
ting's sensatiOnalism and of his case
not being OF sufficient Importance TO
warrant a row. The fact remains all
the same that he is an American citizen
confined in the dungeons of foreign
nation for all act committed in the Uni
ted States. The principle involved IS
lust the same as though Cutting were
one of our most prominent citizens.
The Times does not advocate war with
Mexico, neither does it appear there
will arise any necessity for talking about
hostilities between the two governments
in the settlement Of this case. But 1t
is time for Mexico and all other powers
to be Informed that this sort OF thing
has got to be stopped. This IS only
one of many outrages the greaaars have
penetrated on American citizens fer
which no redress has been obtained.
The time has about arrived for this
county to have a foreign policy, and a
vigorous one to boot. There isnO more
suspicious opportunity to ahaugurate
one than under the present democratic
administration. Nations are just about
the same as individuals. II a country
be ever so big and powerful it viii win
the contempt of other Municipalities if it
permits them to impose on It's elLlzfnS.
This government is entirely too fVf-
bearing III this respect and good natur-
eddy submits to sights and what are
considered trifling wrongs because ct
an innate feeling of superior po%eF aid
dignity. This is all right so far as our
own people are concerned. They I'M
derstand and appreciate it; foreigners
do not. But the fear Of & Erst-class
drubbing would bring them to reaIiz-
ing sense Of what is due an American
on foreign soil. At the present time
the world seems to feel that the United
States will not fight under any proyoca-
tion.-K. C.. lanes.

The Clay Center Convention.

There were at least 5000 people in
in attendance at the republican con-
vention held at Clay Center last Thurs
day. a delegation of five hundred
strong were there from Manhattan.
Dickinson county was represented with
delegation Of about one hundred and
fifty. In fact every county in the Dis
trict was largely represented. It was
the largest and most enthusiastic con-
vention ever held in the District, and
showed, without doubt, that the repub-
licans, two to one, were in favor of
John 4. Anderson, the most popular
candidate for congress the republicans
ever had. As the republicans in this
county who favor John a. Anderson
have no paper to represent them IN
their views, the REFLECTOR. which is
not only democratic paper, but
paper for the people, takes pleasure in
presenting to them the resolutions as
passed by the convention. Judge Will
son, who received his appointment
through fraud, trickery, and against
the will of the republican party, must
take a back seat, either for a good
democrat or Anderson. The following
are the resolutions as adopted:
We, the Republicans of the Fifth
Congressional District represented in
this convention in explanation and JUS

John a. Martin will not have the full
support of the republican party, Judg-
ing from the following paragraph
clipped from Bro. Grifin'S paper, the
Nationalist:
A call has been issued for confer
ence of Anti-PrOhibitiOn Republicans,
to meet in AtchisOn, August 3D., to
consider the propriety Of nominating
John NJ. Price, of that place, for Gov
ernor. 1t has been asserted that MI.
Price would not run, but this action
looks as though ''Barkis is willln; and
if he does not accept it is probable that
some one else will. This proceeding IS
another evidence of the imposslblllty OF
maintaining the old order of things
Hereafter parties will have to be one
thing or another-friends and pr0tec'
tors of saloons or their enemy. Ihosf
who are preparing to bolt the State
ticket claim that they are being siis

ty. which has failed to endorse this pro
hibition fallacy."

Geo. Martin, of the Junction City

following pointed question, which shows
the folly of people living in glass houses

"But why the Department Command
er kicks we cannot understand, since a
regular bar, costing hundreds of dollars,
was run at Wichita in the interest of
his election. Who put up the whisky

1t is now charged against Gov. Mar
tin that he has had a confidential lnldeT-
standing with the druggists and whisky
men that if he is reelected they need
not fear anything from him. With
such as this staring the prohibition re-
publicans in the face is it any wonder
that they have called convention to
meet at Atchison, Aug. Sd, for the pur-
pose of throwing Martin overheard and
nominating a man of their own choice.
The prohibitionists cannot consistently
support Martin.
