The esteemed Republican endorses
and applauds Harrison Keily's Fort
Smith speech. AS his WAS the only
Memorial day speech which that paper
saw fit to honor with it's honest en-
dorsement," we infer that in the Opin-
ion of Governor Eskridge, it was by
far the best of the speeches delivered
on that occasion, and that all other
Memorial day orators who neglected to
utilize the occasion by larruping demo-
Gratis and threatening them with mar
tial law, displayed deplOrable lack of
patriotism as well as nerve and back
bone. If we may be permitted Il sug-
gestion, it is that the proper thing for
Governor Eskridge To DO is 10 so to
Ottumwa, the home of Mr.. Kelly, and
in the presence of an invited multitude
decorate his brow with chaplet of
laurel in honor of the noble sentiments.
the brave and patriotic language, and
the level-headed craftsmanship dis
played by him in his famous Fort
Smith speech.

There is trace of irony in the fol-

There are "A great many Kansas

Ryan by the Mexican officials. 1t was
refreshments hoisted by a rope and
bucket in at the back window and then
set guard over the bucket to keep the
walters from getting all of it, nor was
it necessary to bring up the particu-
lars in police court the next morning
to make them tell where all the stuff
came from. The Mexican people are
not highly civilized like the Topekans.

THE lingo policy of President HaT-
risOn and Secretary Blaine with re-
spect to Behring Sea, over which they
claim exclusive jurisdiction, is con-
demned as indefensible by republican
as well as democratic papers. Inmak-
ing the claim that Behring is CLOSED
sea" they have gone too far, and will
have to back down. 1t is not very
creditaDle thing to do, but it Is that or
fight, and the country will never con-
sent to back the claim to the extent of
splitting blood for it; not at any rate as
long as we contest the claim of Canada
to the exclusive control of the water
within three miles of her shore line.

The devil tempts most men, but
idle men tempt the devil" So says an
old proverb. Another old saw has it
that IAN Idle head is the DEVILS work
shop" The curse of idleness can not
be over rated.
Even in one of good impulses and a
naturally healthful nature, it wrecks
and paralyZes life. The number of
people, in any community more or less
indolent, lazy and shiftles, not to say
entirely given over to idleness, is much
larger than at first appears, when one
takes a mental account of those with
in his own knowledge.
Why is there such number of idle,
lazy and good for nothing people?
Simply because of bad bringing up in
their young days. Because their par
ents neglected to do their duty by
them. The boy :was allowed to run
the streets day and night, to herd with
evil associates who initiated him in
crime, to acquire a premature know
ledge of vice and crime which he
should never possess, to lay the found
alton for career of wickedness Or
lacking the spirit and energy fol-
that of a life of idleness
shiftlesness and general. cussedness.
Very often such parents are very for
ward in telling us what dire evil liquor
drinking breeds in a community. and
how earnestly they want to see it put

| One need not go far to find idle boys
There are number Of them in this
city, boys who do very little of usefu
nature, who are put to it TO find means
to enjoy themselves or kill time. Ere
lquently they are in mischief. Afte
awhile some of them will be known a
bad eggs and society will be blamet
for it. What has society to do will
them while they are unde
the care of their parents
These latter will be the cause
f their boys becoming worthless vaga
bonds or worse. If a boy
p not given something usefu
to do aud taught to do it, he will him
self find something vicious to do, an
evil companions will teach him quick
enough how to do it. That
precisely the course now be-
ing pursued by "a numbe
of lads whose parents keep no accour
of their comings and goings, nor c
what they do. The unsucces'

slovenly house keeper or unfaithfI

al products of parental neglect. Ii
temperance does its share of mischie
but it is chiefly among the class {
people we have been speaking abou

THE Topeka Journal tells the fol-
lowing about the Office holding pro-
clivities of the Walker family:
Colonel r. L. Walker is United
States marshal-the most prominent
and lucrative office in the state; he has
brother who has a clerkship in the
state penitentiary, with salary equal
to thousand or twelve hundred dol
lars annually; he has nephew as his
chief assistant, with Il salary of 81 800
per annum; he has niece in the state
treasurer's Office at $500 or 81 900 per
year; his father-in-law will probably
be taken care of in the United States
! marshal'S office; and another nephew
is being urged for position i'll the
governors Office at 81 200 per year. If
there are any other members of the
family not provided for, some place
should be created at once. OF this
half dozen people, only one, Colonel
Walker himself, served in the war.
