Sons of Veterans,

There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing, and numerous inquiries have
been made concerning the principles,
objects, etc, of the Sons Of Veterans.
The order was not organized until
1881. It has grown to such massive
proper tions that its branches are now
to be found in thirty-two states and
five territories, numbering nearly co.
600 members. The order is military
in its character and ceremonial work,
and is Differed in accordance with
army regulations. It is not a pOliti-
cal organization. It is not our prov
fence or work to have anything to do
with sectarianism in religion or par
tisanship in politics, and the discus
sion Of such topics in our meetings is
strictly prohibited. The lessons pre-
! sented ana inculcated are impressive
and helpful, and aim, not only to
! teach true patriotism and the highest
duties of citizenship, but seek the de-
velOpment of the inherent and essen
tial qualities of a true and symmetri-
cal manhood. We have built upon
| the firm foundations of Friendship,
Charity and Loyalty, and aim to
make our work practical by devoting
our best energies to the welfare and
happiness of the men who fought and
bled that we might enjoy life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness in a
land Of freedom, where equal rights
and equal justice are guaranteed to
all
While we do not desire to take IN
to ourselves any of the honor and
gIOres purchased by the blood of our
fathers, nor the continuation Of Sec
tiOnal strife, we do believe in the per
petuity of this government, its cOnsti-
tuition and its flag, and we believe
that as the sons of such sires we. may
band together to further their prIn-
ciples, to teach loyalty. love to our
native land, and its free institutions
and that in doing this we will form
an impregnable bulwark for the Ma
tiOn's salty against treason and an
archy. And we, the Sons of Vet
Grams, are preparing to take the places
of our fathers in life's battle and tC
care for the old soldiers in times OF
/ need. and should there be a call tC
arms for orr cOuntry's defense we
will be organized and can be ready
for the field on very short notice.
Daily the veterans are answering
the last call and in a few years there
will be but a small number left tC
/ keep green the memories Of then
heroic deeds, The sons of these meI
now step forward with q desire to pre-
] serve those memories, and that the
/ country they saved may be transmit
. ted 20 future generations under The
same gloFiOns flag. No son Of a vet
eran should fail TO connect himself
with this noble and growing OFgaRt
zation at his earliest opportunity.

of 1889 is legal, Notwithstanding the
fact that it was a 'joke," and that
the increase of salaries will have to be
paid.
We have a faint recollection of the
time when the name of Norton county
was changed to Billings" and all
for a coke" but it was so serious a
coke" that it took another act of the
legislature to change the name back
to Morton" We have yet to hear Of
the case where any law has been de
cIared unconstitutional on the ground
Of its being a coke" It is quite
probable that Senator Lockard faith
cred this act relating to a change of
salaries of Norton county officers, in
good faith, and it may be possible
that it was a wise enactment; at any
rate we cannot think that the Senator
would take up the time of the legis-
lature of the great State of Kansas,
which costs the people several thOus-
ands Of dollars per day, for the pur-
pose of perpetrating a practical joke
upon a colleague.

"Only a Joke. "

That part of Chapter 157, of the ses-
sion laws Of 1887, relating to the sal
aries of county officers of Norton
county heads as follows:
SECTION /. The County Clerk and County
Treasurer of Norton county shall be allowed the
following sums, by the county board OF COmmis
siOners, for their salaries The County Clerk
shall receive the sum Of ten hHndread dollars per
annum, and the County Treasurer shall receive
the sum of twelve hundred dollars per annum,
which salary shall be in fuH for all the services
required by law to be performed ia their respect
i've offices.
Last winter an act was passed by
the legislature (Chapter 1873, of the
session laws of 1889, regulating the
fees and salaries of certain county
officials of Dickinson county, and sec
ton Z, of that act reads as follows:
SECTION Z. That Chapter 157, Of the session
laws of 1885, be, and the same is hereby repealed.
This section repeats the law giving
the county clerk Of Norton county
ten hundred dollars per year, and the
county treasurer of that county
twelve hundred dollars per year,
and leaves the salary to be regulated
by the general law, based upon popu-
lation, which will probably increase
it to a considerable extent.
The Norton Champion nov comes
forward, and by one fell swoop Of the
pen, declares the last act unconsti-
tutional, and all for the reason, as II
alleges, that it was "a practical joke. %
It asserts that Senator Lockard had
the repsaltRg clause attached to the
bill for the paspaze Of slipping II
through the house #ftAoQs being
noticed by Representative Dqyali.
and that he did it to play a hBge
] 'jOke" on Duvall.
Without commenting upon the fact
of whether or not the increase of sal
airy would be a good thing for Norton
] county, it certainly looks as if the act

The gathering called a convention
held last Saturday, was very shreWd-
~ managed. One chose the delega-
ton, the second accepted and the
third abode by the decision, and half
the delegates to said convention are
now as wise as If they had remained
at home, so far as the judgeship is
concerned. 1t may be that such
management will work great things
for the republican party but we have
our doubts regarding such moves and
are not surprised at the general muir
muring throughout the county. Dis
patch.
We are surprised to see our friend
Of the Dispatch show such DISPOSE
ton to beef" on account Of the way
in which the republican county judi
cial convention was managed. We
/ have always supposed him to be so
stalWart a republican as to be unable
to find fault in the methods Of his
party, and are very agreeably sur
! prised that he has the manly indie
| pendence to express his dissatisfac-
ton Democrat.
The above item was published in
the Dispatch just after the county
judicial convention, held at this place
on the 18th, and it alludes to that
convention in such a way as to pur-
posely furnish comfort and buncombe
for the opposition. Already the
Democrat has caught on" as will be
seen from the above item clipped from
that paper, and Boyd, of the Logan
Freeman, has loudly applauded his
approval from the gallery. Really,
at this rate it will not be long until a
triumvirate, composed of the Dis
patch, the Democrat and the Free
man, will be weeping upon each 9th
ers' necks in blissful reconciliation.
But what can the Dispatch mean
by the gathering, called a conyen-
tion?' We believe that every town
ship in the county, excepting one,
was represented, and that the cOnven-
ton was about as large and enthusi-
astic as any ever held in this county
The Dispatch again speaks in conun-
drums when it says that zone chose
the delegation, the second accepted
and the third abode by the decision
and half of the delegates are now as
wise as if they had remained at home
so far as the judgeship is concerned
1t looks to a imam up a tree like
a slur on the farmer delegates of this
county to infer that they were control
] led by any one man, and that the!
acted simply in the roll of puppet
without knowing what they wanted
or what they were doing. The fac
is that there was a test of strength o.
the vote for temporary chairman, an,
the vote stood 81 votes for a Chairman
, favorable to W. H Pratt, to 81 70
the opposition, and the level heade

their efforts were futile, did a yer
sensible and complimentary thing b

The Phlllipsburg Democrat takes
us to task because we went so far as
Long Island with Hon. E. j. Turner,
ut the time he left our city. To this
charge we plead guilty, and in miti-
cation Of that henious crime we beg
to offer the three following reasons:
First, we had business at Long Island
second, we found Mr.. Turner to be
an agreeable travelling companion, and
excellent company; and third, we
have heretofore generally exercised
our own Will when we have visited
neighboring towns, and have been ig-
nOrant of the fact that we ought to
have consulted the Democrat in re-
gard to our movements.
Yes, Long Island is a good ways
off, but it is not so far as Washing
ton, D. O., and if we remember cor
rectly, the Captain" of the Democrat
sojourned a goodly length of time in
that village, for the purpose of con
vincing Grover that he, the aforesaid
Captain" would be the proper ma
terIal out of which to make a Register
for the Kirwin land Office. But Gro
yer didn't tumble, and consequently
the Captain" abode not at the public
