Sumner County Standard: "Judge
BOtkin is standing disgrace to the re-
publican party and the state of Kansas.

people out there know it. 1t would be
a blessing if he would leave the state. -

NOT LUCK. BUT WORK.

Twenty clerks in a store, twenty
hands in a printing Office. twenty ap-
prentices in a shipyard. twenty young
men in town, all want to get on in
the world, and expect to do So" says
an old merchant.
lone of the clerks will become part
ner, and make fortune; one OF the
compositors will own a newspaper and
become an influential citizen one of
the apprentices will become master
builder; one of the villagers will get q
handsome farm, and live like a patri-
arch-but which one is the lucky indi-
vldual? Lucky! There is no luck
about it. The thing is almost as certain
as the rule of three. The young fellow
who will distance his competitors is he
who masters In business, who preserves
his integrity, who lives cleanly and
purely, who devotes his leisure to the
acquisition of knowledge. who gains
friends by deserving them, and who
saves his spare money. There are some
ways to fortune shorter than this dusty
old highway, but the staunch men all
go this road"
