The Goodland Republican is very much
horrlfied at an alleged find of an in
haman father in the south western part
Of Thomas county. 1t says there is . man
named Price down there who ties his in
FAINT child in chair and leaves It for
h0nrs unattended, by itself, in a dark
hsle of dug out. If the story Of the Re-
publican is true, and we are inclined to
doubt that Price or any other man could
be so mean as it makes him out the
trustee of Kingery township should look
into the matter.

to our citizens of the business and social
merits of the two gentlemen who have
this business IN charge. Both are wen
known and highly esteemed BY all in
this community. They are buslaess from
the word 80. and the Car predicts for
them fair share of the public patronage
and assure the pubic it win get honest,

The Kansas City Sun says: Mine
young men out of every ten are inclined
to be tough. and the majority carry it tt
an extreme. You can pray for them til
you are black in the face. and it is sci
dom that they mend their ways, but let .

that she will reform him at once. if the

er than all the ministers in the country. -
The migratory instinct is as strong in
some men as it is IN some animals. In no
other way can the frantic desire of
thousands of people to get into Oklahoma
be accounted for. They are arriving on
the borders now by the hundreds and
Thousands to move into the territory in
thirty days whether it is opened to set
Element or not Most of them are utterly
destitute; they could not make a living
where they were and they can not expect
to do much better in the coveted land.
But the migratory impulse urges them to
try. just as. by and by. twill drive them
to some other land Of deluslve hope. 1t
is the fate Of such people to be forever
moving.
One bad feature in many towns is
that merchants frequently send away for
articles kept by home dealers. This is
very wrong. Local dealers should be
loyal to each other. If the grocer sends
away for his carpets, the general dealer
for his furniture, the druggist his grocer
les. the hardware man his paints. the
lumber man his dry goods. and any or
al of these their printing, etc. trade is
demorslized and the town seriously Grip
pied. We might all save something in q
narrow sense, by this sort of disloyalty
to our neighbors in business. but in the
end there is loss. No dealer can pursue
this practice without incidentally releas-
ing the trsdesman and, in fact all MEM
bers of the community from the obliga-
tons that ought to exist between fellow
citizens who have so much interest IN
common. As q certain result he win loose
moro in bargains than he gains. by con-

reduced TO logical figure. In this con- |
pection loyalty begets loyalty and the |
