Business is Business.

The convention is almost here and
this will be our last appearance before
the people until the township primar-
les have been held. These will be
held next Thursday afternoon from
2 until 4 pm. There is no question
but four-fifths of the people in
Thomas county are earnestly in favor
of returning Mr.. Turner to congress.
Success in any business is always
traced to starting point. Start right
and you will end right. It is even
more important that correct begin
ing be made ia politics. Here IS where
the people skeuld express their pre-.
ferences as each step made carries a
point farther from the people. The
primaries are more important to voters
than the county convention, and we
would urge every voter to be at the
caucas and see that no delegate who
is not certainly and unequivocally in
favor of Turner be sent to the county
convention. The opponents of Turner
are sending money into the county
freely and those who have taken char
&c of the 'wads' will ride day and
night to have their forces son deck"
between the hours of 2 and 1 O'Clock.
Don't stay at home expecting your
neighbors to go but rather 60 and take
your neighbors with you. The prim-
ary IS the place for the people to ex-
ercise the right of franchise and vote
for delegates whom you know to be
true to your interests. Don't take
promises from those who have been
your enemies ia the past. You can't
afford to trust them.
Mr.. Turner comes before the people
of the sixth district with a record
spotless and free from corruption of
any kind. He asks your suffrage on
his merits and has no money or desire
to purchase a oongressmanship. These
are the kind of men you should send
to represent your interests among the
great men of the nation. He has en-.
ough experience to put him among
the national leaders of the lower
House and the ability to carry through
what ever will be for the best interest
of northwest Kansas. To insure his
nomination see that the township del |
eeates are men above reproach and
cannot be boughtor will not be induc-
ed to trade.
1t is demonstrated fact that the
Union Pacific railroad company
are against Turner and in
favor Of McLennau-in fact the latter |
is known as the Z. p. candidate and a |
systematic plan is deing developed to |
send the contested delegations to the |
congressional convention from the
counties all along the U. P. road. Mr..
Turner voted and fought in the halls
of congress to prevent the U. P. steal
ing $5O,00O,000 from the people
through the government Mr.. Turner
gained his point and il is not hard to
see why the q. P. are opposed to his
denomination.
There is an attempt in this county
to steal delegateswho are notin favor of
Turner, and to thwart this deceptive
movement, every voter should ascer-
tain if the delegates for whom he is
going to vote are unreservedly in
favor of Turner first, last and all the
time. This will insure harmonious
convention and Triumphant march to
victory for the people.

Money cannot win IN this county
and a candidate who thinks that it
will.buy him seat in congress is very
much mistaken The republican voters
of the sixth district have too much
patriotism to be handled like cattle.
Thomas County cat., 1890-04-24

The people should do their duty IN
selecting convention delegates and
they in turn should appreciate the
confidence reposed in them and
select the best man for congressman
-one who appears in the race on his
merits and not with money to buy his
way through. Beware of corrupt pol
iticians.

No pains should be spared by those
in position to furnish the superinten-

important to the people of the county,
and Thomas can well afford to pro-

Higher Eauoation for women

Said a brilliant woman of our day: ITO
be a wife and mother is not the end of my
existence; the end is to be woman.
am only wife and mother in passing"
But even if wifehood and motherhood were
the end and aim, the higher the develop
ment Of the woman the better the wife and
mother. Conjugal affection, maternal in
stinct, are none the less powerful when
under the control of enlightened intelli-
gence. Indeed the highest ideal of de-
votion is consistent with the highest con-
ditions of culture, and she who knows most
of what man knows is certainly better
fitted to be his companion than is she who
meets his nature only on the side of his
physical comfort. For woman to know
how to look pretty, to dress tastefully, to
preside graciously, to make her house
charming, and her home delightful to all
who feel its social atmosphere, for her to
be interested in her church and her chart
ties, to like good books, to appreciate good
music-all this is involved in the highest,
if not in the so-called "higher," education.
We mean that all this keeps in exercise
and consequent development the highest
part of her nature. But to know how to
look pretty does not demand that woman
should know nothing else, and many a
woman graduate has discovered and is
ready to testify that in all things that en-
ter into the glory of the true home life she
is able to do better and to be more be-
cause of that widening of judgment and
development of mental powers that came
as the result OF college work.-Mary Lore
Dickinson, in Harpsr's Basar.

When the janitor arrived at the hall
Saturday afternoon to make ready for the
meeting he found that the bear-trap guard
ing the second landing had been sprung.
Looking about him, he found shoe-heel,
piece of steel watch chain, vest buckle
and half plug Of tobacco, and he had no
trouble in arriving at the conclusion that
another attempt-the fourteenth-had
been made to destroy Paradise Hall. He
raised no alarm, however, and said not
word until Brother Gardner arrived. The
result of their whispered conversation was
that after the meeting had been opened
in due form, the President looked up and
down the hall and queried:
"Air Brodder Clingstone Davis present

"He am" answered voice, and the
brother arose.
"You will step dis way. Now, Brudder

Clingstone reluctantly exposed the soles

AN AMERICAN DRAMATIC SCHOOL.

The last paper from the pen of Dion
Boucicault, and which was scarcely fin
ished when death removed him, appears
in the North American Review In this
essay Mr.. Boucicault had the courage to
say what many critic has been lashsd for
merely suggesting, There is not, and there
never has been, literary institution which
could be called the American drama"
Local pride may have deceived US into the
belief that we have in very recent years
evolved an American dramatic school and
set up the American drama.
But the sporadic production OF Ameri-
can plays does not constitute school. The
few dramas that have won distinction for
American playwrights are not sufficient to
form the foundations of dramatic system
of acting or writing. These plays have no
relation TO each other, nor to distinctively
American characteristics. True, there
have been few dramas that hinge upon
American foibles, but they, unlike the pro-
auctions of American writers of narrative
fiction. do not constitute schools or classes,
that by reason of their character as such
reflect credit upon the American people.
There are English, French and German
dramatic schools, systems of piaywriting as
distinct and full of character and as boldly
marked by national imprint as are the
schools of music; but as there is no Ameri-
can musical school, so there is no American
drama. In the first place we have not the
cohesive material for it, the vast extent of
the country, the diverse elements of our
population, the broad distinctions between
the mannerisms in the various sections of
the nation, and, above all, our youth, for
bid that we should have dramaticschool.
Boucicault was right. We have no
American drama, nor will we have for
half century more perhaps, for age is an
essential in the founding of a school of
dramatic writing, and something more than
mere reproduction of pictures of American
social and political life is material to such
an institution.

DIR. CYRUS EPSON, in the North Ameri-
can Reriew, concludes, after examination of
the whole field of evidence, that Fremont
tions and ghostly warnings are "fathered
by fear and mothered by coincidence"
That verdict precisely meets our view,
after reading about all that has ever been
published upon the subject claiming to be
the record of authenticated cases, and such
reading includes the famous reports of the
English Society for Psychical Research.
"Fear is the parent of superstition" and
with that as substructual to coincidence,
really trivial visual and other psychical
cheats are magniied into spiritual revela-
tons and warnings.

MR.. NUDES IDEA.

The death of c. E. Nude, the founder
of Nudes Library, is an event that re-
calls a somewhat strange personal history.
Nudes Library is known the civilized
world over, but only few know much of
It's founder.
When Young man Mr.. Nude was a
great reader. But he was poor, and in
London, where he ought to have found
fine opportunities in the way of good
libraries. True, circulating libraries in
number were in the city, but as rule they
supplied only trash. He wanted something
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-11-09
better, and ys. calling for small e1pendit-

ure.
"Seldon could l get book that I
wished for" said he, "and I was fain to
buy what 1 wanted. Finally the idea
struck me that many other young men
were in similar case with myself. l had
BY this time accumulated number OF
books. so / determined to launch out
library of my own lines" Accordingly,
in 1912 he placed his chosen collection in
"a shop window in Bloomsbury square, and
called the establishment "Mudie's Select
Library.
Very soon the good taste and literary
wisdom which the young man manifested
had its effect, and the collection grew as
the number of subscribers increased. From
its foundation to 1884 the library had pur-
chased and put in circulation 100000
volumes, and at this time it issues during
the busy season more than 100000 books a
week.
Naturally Nude became well known to
authors and book lovers. His library was
soon recognized as a capital avenue through
which to reach very large and very de-
serving class. Literary people were glad
to know Mr.. Nude, and he was no less
glad to form their acquaintance.
Carlyle once said to this man who came
to be the friend of SO many writers and the
agency Tor so much good: "It's an awful
thing to Judge man. It's a more awful
thing to judge book, for book has life
beyond life. But it is with books as it is
with men. Broad is the road that leadeth
to destruction, and many there be that 60
in thereat; and narrow is the way that
leadeth to life, and few there be that find
it."
1t was true, indeed, that Nude became
a critio-that is, his judgment of the prac-
teal usefulness of book and its fitness for
large class of readers amounted to a de-
cree of approval or condemnation that
made or killed many a work. Authors, as
yet unknown to large circle, were aware
that their fate was in Nudes hands, but
it is not recorded that he misused this
power that came to him SO imperceptibly
and without his seeking. 1t is said that
when Livingston's book of travels ap-
peared, Nudes was the first order placed
for it, he taking 5000 copies. So, too, he
put the seal of his approval on ''Silas Ma
riner" by ordering 5000, and likewise he
took 5000 of "Endymion" and 1000 of
"John Inglesant."
That Mr.. Nude did a wonderfully great
work in lifting up the reading taste of the
masses in England no one doubts He has
had few imitators, but none who para
lleled his achievement, because none SO
unsel6shly and with such whole-hearted-
ness engaged in the work. There is oppor-
tunity in all the greater cities of America,
without at all crippling the free library
system, for men and women to emulate
Mr.. Nudes example and do great work
in supplanting the trashy literature with
which the newsstand proprietors are sup
plying very large class of readers.
