The pupils of Mrs Emily A. Bennett have left good record for the past year. Edith Minor, Curtis and Mary Hawley took the prize for punctual attendance, not having missed a day of school during the year. Harry Curtis, Edith and Nell lie Minor stand well in all their studies and have made progress during the year. It would be difficult to find three children who have made more rapid progress in study during the first year of school than Susie Minor, Willie Curtis and Mary Hawley, showing how well it pays for parents to be persevering in regard to the punctual attendance of their children at school.

About The Same.

Some time ago Henry Watterson re-
marked that the trouble with great
many Kansas farmers who are now
making a noise is that they are demo
Gratis and have not yet found it out. 1t
is noticeable fact of late, that when
ever Kansas farmers make a declaration
of principles they invariably emphasize
the point that they do not want any fa-
vors. That they ''are in favor of equal
rights to all and special favors to none. u
Whenever man endorses that princi-
pie, whether he be Kansas farmer OF
anyone else, he puts himself squarely
outside the republican party. Special
favors to the few at the expense of the
many is about all there is to the repub-
lican party. They propose to tax the
whole people for the benefit of few
manufacturers. They propose to tax
the people for the purpose of giving sub
sides to a few other pets. The idea OF
any man proclaiming that he is in favor
of equality for all and special favors to
none, and then claim to be republican
Christ and be an infidel: no more car
he believe in equality before the Law
and be Il republican. Tie banner OF
"a fair field and no favor" is uRfurled
by Grover Cleveland and is democratic
doctrine.
