REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

REPUBLICAN, COUNTY CONVENTION.
A delegate convention Of the Repub-
lican electors of Cherokee county is
called to meet al Columbus, on
Wednesday, the 9th day of April, 1892,
at IL o'clock q. IN. for the purpose OF
selecting TWENTY-FIVE delegates 10 the
third congressional district convention
at Arkansas City on May 8, and nj
Pittsburg on June %, also eleven dele
gates to the state convention al Hutch
inson Oh May 5, and at Topeka June
30.
BY fixing the basis Of representation
on the vote of 1890 Baxter is allowed
only eleven delegates. 1t ia true,
Baxter went Democratic in 1890, and
under similar conditions would prob
ably do so again, but the central
committee make mistake in trying
10 work us down TO a level with
Pleasantview and other Non-Contor-
mist townships. However, the Dem
ocrats may make 1t up by giving US a
big show in their convention.

TIE WAY TO DO II.

After four years idle talk is 1t moi
about time the property owners OF
Baxter Springs were trying 10 do
something for themselves? Never
was there better opportunity for i'm
proving our financial condition than
the spring and summer OF 1892. With
railroads knocking at our doors. with
manufactures in sight, with u largely
increased business in every depart
menl, why should We still ponder on
what might have been done? With
very little effort we can double our
population and within one year en-
nance the value OF real estate three
hundred per cent. The calamity wave
which swept over our state two years
ago and held us back for the time has
been overcome and buried out OF sight
bv the great tidal wave Of prosperity
which is now forcing its way to the
west In spite Of all opposition and Is
only waiting for an opening to del.
uge us with more substantial favors
than we ever dreamed of.
But the time for talk has passed.
We must he up and doing. We must
give less time to politics and private
affairs and do something for the good
of the whole town. There should he
no side issues and no narrow minded
economy. The Lord loves cheerful
giver and the railroads love live
town. A liberal investment, u reason
able amount of the right kind of work
and a little inspiration will secure
three new railroads for Baxter Springs
before SNOW flies. Ii is question for
the people TO decide whether or not
they are worth working for. If your
$l0O lots can be made to bring $500 is
it not worth little extra effort?
The proper thing TO do is to organ
ize at once a commercial club, os all
other live towns have done, and set 10
work 10 catch everything that is afioat,
whether it is a railroad, medical in
stitute, a -four mill or camp meeting.
Get out a lot of advertising matter
and distribute it where it will do the
most good. Appoint reception COM
mittees who will receive and entertain
all parties who will be likely to locate
here. Push TO completion every fcas-
ibIe project that comes up. Drop all
personal animosities and all join to-.
gethcr for the public welfare and we
will soon have enough outside help
to keep the ball rolling.
If we sit quietly down with open
mouths and wait till our protected
railroads have gone around US it will
I've too late. Now is the time to get IN
some good work. Right now.

REFORM NEEDED.

The following bill was received by
a citizen of Baxter Springs with re-
gard TO the foreclosure Of a small
dwelling house: This shows the total
expenses of $50 charged by reform Of.
flee holders for fJreclosing a small
mortgage OIL a email house. There
was NO defense made in this case and
no trial and the bill of official charges
is by far the largest ever known in the
history of foreclosures. Just think Of
il, my lords and gentlemen-sixty dol
lars for fees TO county officers where
Judgment was not denied! Think OF
Il. voters of the reform movement,
sixty dollars in fees to the SONS of toll
who hold the Offices of Cherokee c0uu-
is! Could the old party officials do
less or charge more? We think not.
The poor widow who pays these cnor-
nous fees Ia not one of the ''iOiling
masses" who were 10 be "lifted" by
the reform movement, but she will be
lifted out of her boots when she gets
this fee bill. Let us have less "reform'

A bill has been Introduced in the
senate providing for the establishment
of another town site on Rock creek
about eight miles south of Baxter
Springs In the Indian territory. This
is evidently another scheme in the
interest of u few spectators, but
does not particularly interest. nst'oWe
have no doubt that when the territory
is thrown open TO settlement every
man who owns 40 acres will lay it of
in town lots and that eventually
towns and cities will DO as thick as
fleas on a Missouri dog, but just al
present we fail 10 sec any necessity for
so many town sites. No doubt peo-
pie will rush in aud buy lots and a
few will build shanties and strive to
exist, just as they have IN western
Kansas, but when they come to their
better senses the towns will 10 vacat-
ed and the city.lot will go back into
pastures aud corn fields.
