ton of OOlumbus-that was there last
year, has its requisition in for this
twenty-three comrades are coming
from Pennsylvania, thirty-two from
central Illinois; six posts write that
they have their own tents and merely
ask to be assigned a location for the
same from every. direction comes the
word "You bet your last dollar we'll
be there in full force" There is no
question but II the weather is favor
able the number in attendance will
be one-half greater than ever before
and the petty stabs of the COMMITTEE"
of the hub will not make mark. AS
to the management OF our reunions,
the assertion that it is unsatisfactory
falls flat in view of the fact that 1t is
conceded by comrades who attend all
the reunions east. west and north and
by hundreds Of comrades who are IN q
position to know, that the Interstate
reunion is the best managed of any in
existence. The system OF roll call,
registration, assignment, camp fires,
privileges, ETC., is being copied by all
important reunions. The soldier feels
more at home and has more good solid
fun at Baxter than at any other reunion
and the COMMITTEE" at the hub very
materially weaken their chances for
success when they try to stuff such
bosb down the throats of comrades
who have been there. Again we say;
the attempt to pull down one soldier
organization to build up another, we
are pleased to know, is the act of few
comrades and the people
of Columbus should not be held re-
sponsible for it. They do not approve
of or endorse their action. The lead
ing spirits in this opposition move
did all in their power year before last
and last year to keep the old soldiers
of Columbus from attending the re-
union, but the boys were there just the
same and they will be there this year,
at least dozens who reside in Columbus
and immediate vicinity have so ex.
pressed themselves to us personally.
As the tramp said of the fly: 1t is
mighty hard to fool All old soldier.

QUITE CORRECT.

The Star-Courier, after carefully
considering the question of establish
ing reunion association at Columbus.
hands down its decision as follows:
"Frankly, we question the propriety
Of the effor. to establish reunion at
this place. Of course this will take
the breath of some of our friends and
comrades; but we have looked over
the conditions and circumstances, and
we have tried to do the fair thing in
making up our judgment, and it is
simply this; that as Cherokee county
has u well established reunion at Bax-
ter Springs, well located and widely
known, the attempt at establishing one
at Columbus cannot be regarded other
wise than as rival, and the soldiers,
who for so many years have been going
there, will not be easily induced so to
favor the Columbus reunion as to make
it success. We believe it will be
found impossible to maintain two re-
unions so close together, and particu-
larry so if spirit of jealousy shall
arise, as is likely to be the case in this
county"
This is the correct view put in COLI
else form. The very fact that the Bax-
ter Springs reunions have been grow
ing in size and interest each year since
their Inauguration, and have been
by good management
and good feeling generally, surprising
in interest any other similar meetings
in the west, ought TO convince the
most casual observer that this is the
best place to hold them. Baxter
Springs has dozen very important
inducements 10 offer for such gather
ings which Columbus does not and
never will possess. The natural sur
roundings and advantages at Baxter
Springs are a sufficient guarantee that
the big reunions of the southwest will
continue to be held here. There is no
other place like it in this part of the
country, and the vastness of the crowds
which attend our Interstate reunion
every autumn is a matter of much
by the old soldiers in almost
every part of Kansas, Missouri, Ar
kansas and the Indian territory.
Of course we do not claim to possess
the exclusive right of holding reunions
in the southwest, and have no objec-
ton to offer to a reunion at Columbus
so long as she does not resort to mud
tactics and attempt to build
up her enterprise by trying to pull
ours down. If she does this she can
have no hope of success, because the
old soldiers are not built Of any such
timber as that and will not tolerate
of the kind.

c. s. Fly.

The announcement appears this evening of the candidacy of c. S. Fly for the nomination of sheriff. subject to the will of the Republican county convention. For the past two cleo tions MT. Fly was importuned by 10th Democrats and Republicans to allow his name to be used as a candidate for this important office, but refused, owing to a sensitiveness that he m ght bc in the way Of other aspirants of his party. This year a strong petition went to him sssing him to allow his name to be used, and reply came to-day that he would do so He is at Rico, Colorado, on his way home, and is ex- pected here duriLg the next week.
 Mir. Fly is eminently fitted for the office, and his party could not make any mistake in nominating him. He is fearless, honorable man, and one in whose hands the citizens of Cochise in all branches of industry could feel perfectly secure, knowing that he was doing all that man could do to stamp out lawlessness and bring criminals tojus,ice.

A MAN who does not seek office ought not to hold one. A man who accepts any position against his will is a dangerous public servant, and will eventually cross the line to elude the wrath of those who sought him at the polls. The idea of the office seeking the man did not originate in this go- ahead coun.ry. Show us a man who waits for the office to seek him, and we will go back to his boyhoOd and show you boy who stood around the stree: corners waiting for some one to ask him il he didn't want to work. and whose success at the presen: time Is not due to bls own exertiops, On the to the font believing he can fill an office satisfactorily to :be people, and says SD boldly, through the columns of his local paper, and we'll go back to that mans esriy life and show you a Aoo "Ho S'c" "P 'o '"o""Vu o' HIS own resources: who was never idle: when he wanted work he asked for 1t, and did not wait for the jo5 to hunt him. Go back to his native village and you will find that he bore a repu- ta,ion for honesty, integrity and man Illness among his neigisbors. You can trust that boy when he grows np. In lime of war he does not wait to be drafted, and in times of peace he does not wait to be called upon to serve the people hnt lenders bis services. and wins or goes down making an honorable fight.
