The towns throughout the country
that have been disappointed in not secur-
ing appropriations for postoffice build
lngs from the present congress are to be
compensated, in measure, by having
the free delivery system extended to
them. This implies that every town of
5000 people expected public building
appropriation, and it does not exag-
gerate the real facts in the case very
much. The free delivery will be less
expensive to the government than
erecting the desired buildings, but it will
be a much greater convenience and
benefit to the communities in interest,

President Glover seems to think that
it is bigger thing to be president Of the
Farmers Alliance than to be governor
or congressman. The Topeka Democrat
thinks this good augury for the future
This is a questionable compliment to that
organization. If there is only one man
in it capable of running it, it would be
well for it to begin ROW to prepare for
the end of its existence. 1t practically
began that work, however, when it
entered politics as an organization.

Representative Mills is credited with
saying, since his return to Washington,
that the people of the west are not as en-
Enthusiastically unanimous for the Demo-
cratic party as they used to be. This
declaration, taken in connection with the
fact that the Texas statesman's observa-
tiOns were confined to the Democratic
stronghold, Missouri, may be taken as
bearing special significance. The recent
election in Kansas City may be taken as
fair estimate of what the state will do
at the approaching election.

The latest scheme to secure noun
ment for General Grants tomb is to col
lect five cents a head from all the school
children of the country. The scheme if
adopted and carried out would produce
enough to erect the grandest monument
on the continent, except possibly the
Washington monument at the national
capital. New York would no doubt re-
joice at the adoption of the plan not
withstanding the whitening rebuke it
would contain of that city's hypocrisy
and picayunishness.

Colonel Jim Hallowell and his Sedgwick

In the estimation of THE EAGLE the
most serious phase of American govern
ment today is that year by year it mar
rows individual freedom and enlarges
the privileges and powers of the corpora
ton. The material trust and the politi-
cal combines are powers before which
the boosted personal liberty of the Amer
lean citizen is disappearing. Corpora
tions and politicians calmly talk of the
loyalty" of the people ''to them," and
laws and constitutions are being promul-
gated which declare where men and
women shall and shall not work, and to
limit the choice of the number of hours
in which they shall labor.

OUR CANDIDATE AND HIS PLATFORM

1t is unnecessary for the EAGLE to de
clare that the people of Wichita were
highly pleased with the news from Dodge
CITY announcing the nomination of their
fellow townsman, Hon. James r. Halo
well, for congress. And we hope and
believe that the action of the convention
will meet with as hearty and unanimous
an approval by the Republicans of this
the largest and most populous congress
| sional district in the United States. Mr.
Hallowelrs political principles and con-
victions are well known. He is in full
accord with his party, state and national;
his record as a politician in Kansas has
been very open one. Few men will go
furtherto serve friend and few there
are that more closely studies the wants
of the people. As a worker his enthusi-
asm is catching, his energy marvellous.
As the representative of the Seventh dis
trict of Kansas in congress he will be
ever abreast the most advanced measures
Of the Republican party and cOnspicu-
Gus champion of the west and of
its great agricultural interests. AS
friend of the veteran, and of the sol
being an old soldier himself, all of his
impulses are of the most generous char
acter. When elected he will become a
recognized leader and advocate of every
proposition and measure looking to adj
equately, justly and generously reward
ing the men who jeopardized their lives
and sacrificed their health to save an I'M
divided country. In short, the Republi-
can nominee Of the Dodge City conven-
ton for the Seventh district of Kansas,
is broad-guaged man, an energetic Re
publican, an enthusiastic partisan and
true friend, who will make one of the
most successful workers and popular
representatives that ever appeared on the
floor of congress from Kansas. Delight
ing in public service, responsive to the
praise and sensitive to the criticisms of
his fellow citizens, it would be
next to impossible for him
ever to get far away from the convic-
lions and desires of the people. No APP
plicant, however humble, will ever fail
of an earnest hearing at his hands, no
hour will ever find him too busy with
public affairs to prevent an immediate
and hearty response to the call and de-
mands of his own people.
The platform upon which the cOnven-
ton placed him contains the terse poten-
cy and radical directness of a western
convention, and is Kansas through and |
through; and, Mr.. Hallowell is known to
be in thorough sympathy with all its
pointed enunciations touching the mate
rial issues embraced therein.
With such a candidate and with such /
a platform Of principles the congressional |
in the Seventh district opens
out most auspiciously. The demands of |
the one cover all the vital issues before |
the people in unmiStakable language, |
while its standard bearer in the person |
of James R. Hallowell, being grandly |
physically and politically |
equipped for the contest and ready to
meet every opponent of the Republican
~, r+yv Of ,rI,atov-or oboroc+or mill ,,,oy-o
on to a triumphant victory in November.

The ''forcen bill, so called, is a bill
which applies to the north and south
alike. 1t is no more force law than
any other legislative enactment. 1t pro-
vldes for no gunpowder or army. The
objection to it comes from the south
where it is feared that carpet baggers
will take advantage of it to capture
states or communities through the negro
vote. There are sections of the south
where under that bill the negroes can
dominate the whites if they but pull to-
gether, which fact startles the heretofore
ruling party. The only way that the
whites in some communities can hope to
run the politics will be to divide the
colored vote. The only way to do this
would be to divide the offices. Even
southern Republicans of some sections
protest against the Lodge law.
