State Soldiers Home.


From an address delivered by Department Com
nader Henry Booth at salina, Kas., Jan. q. 1890
Through the exertions of Lewis post,
No. 294, at Dodge City, Kas., and the
patriotic citizens of Ford county, the
old Fort Dodge Military Reservation
was secured from the general govern.
ment by act of congress for State
Soldiers Home. There is something
over lis acres of 6ne bottom land, and
sufficient number of buildings when
properly repaired and arranged to &C.
comodate several hundred ''old sol-
diers, their wives and dependent child
rem. The legislature at Its last session
appropriated $40, 900 for the two years
1889 and 1899 for repairs, furnishing
and maintenance. A Board of Manag-
ers was provided for by the law to con-
sist Of three members, and the Cover
nor appointed as such board comrades
J. D. Barker, of Girard, Ira F. Collins,
of Sebatha, and Henry Booth, of Lar
ned, for three years, two years and one
year respectively. The board organized
by electing J. D. Barker President, and
Henry Booth Secretary. Something
over $4,000 has been expended in re
pairs, and comfortable quarters for at
least one hundred old soldiers are now
provided at this home The small
amount appropriated renders it impos-
sib!e to care for many, until the legisla-
ture provides more money for furnish
ing and maintenance. This home is
to be on the cottage plan, and for old
soldiers and their wives particularly,
although unmarried soldiers are not
debarred admittance.
This home is tardy recognition by
the state of the needy soldier and his
no less needy wife. Nearly every
Northern State in the Union has pro-
vided places where the broken down
soldier can find home without being
separated from his wife, and Kansas,
which should have been first in such a
patriotic movement, brings up the rear,
a method not in keeping with her rec
ord upon nearly every other question.
Every comrade especially, and every
old soldier, should see to it that the
member of the next legislature from
his district is Informed as to the needs
Of this institution, and requested to as
sist it by his vote and influence.

Can there be any greater mistake than
to suppose journalism is devoid OF trials
and tribulations? a great many people
imagine that the life of an editor is a
very pleasant one This is grave mis-
take Few people have as many trials
and tribulations rs the average editor.
There are so many drawbacks in the edi-
torial career that We have only time TO
touch lightly on few.
| As a general thing the editor. like the
preacher, is very poorly paid. If he is
on political paper, and his candidate
and party are successful. the editor is for
gotten in the hour of rioting. The polit
ical hummer gets paid for his services
during election times, in actual cash.
The editor gets paid for his services in
thanks.
But life of poverty would not be so
bad if the editors feelings were not being
continually plowed up by unfeeling per
sons, when for instance, the Office boy
announces that gentleman Inside has
bill he wishes paid. 1t is painful at
times to decline manuscript, but in such
cases it should be done.
1t is very trying to an editors feelings
when supposed friend says: Il saw an
excellent thing in your paper the other
day. and when the editor imagine it
was one of his editorials, ne adds with a
cruel, cynical smile: 1T was receip for
making lobster salad" But about the
meanest thing to do to an editor is to ask
him where he is going to spend the sum
mer.
Very frequently journalists are unkind
to each other. Not long since the fol-
lowing appeared In a country paper: 1--WE
do not desire to be personal. but if the
lean lank, liver-colored lump of Junk
headativeness-w refer to the thimbleful
Of alleged brains that edits(?) our estee.:-
ed contemporary, etc.
How painful it must be to the editor
wife, when asked by the rag man If she
has any rags for sale, to be Oblidged to
reply: IN o, my husband is down at the
office, and he has all his clothes on him
Then the editor has Oftimes trouble in
the manipulation Of the mechanical de-
partment of his paper, when, for instance,
the chuck!e headed new pressman greas
es the forms to make the roller run slick, |
thus causing the paper 10 look as If it had
been chucked together with shovel.
AS for having leisure hours hours. that |
is something about which the editor has |
no ideas whatever. Ii he has any he |
spends them in catching mp with his work. |
Then again the county attorney who |
belongs to the other political party will |
make the editor very mad because of his
prohibition proclivities. and they will
meet and cause row" whereat the cd
itor is followed up by said county attor-
ney with a long gun.-Verily these are
hard times for the editor.

Racket Store.

People are beginning TO realize the
significant meaning of Spot Cash. The
manufacturer has more goods made up
than he has sale for. He has bills to
meet, and Spot Cash has clear ring
to him. He thinks not of profit but
raising cash.
Our New York representative is on
hand with the Almighty Dollar, and
the goods are bought at two-thirds
their value.
Our Mr.. Rouss of New York City
has been obliged to erect building

world 1S5, 900 square feet of space. If
there were not something in the Racket
business it would not require it. The
numerous drafts on Mr.. Il. for goods,
from his representatives from Main to
California, requires force working
night and day--and the good work goes
on.
