MORE POLITICS.

Baxter Springs Is out already ask
ing that she be recognized In the
county conventions. She claims that
for u number of years no candidate
from there has been elected, while Ga
lena, Columbus aud Weir City have
had their full share Of representatives
duly installed in the court house.
Well, Baxter, you should haye some
thing, but barring your county conf
missioner, as good one as this corner
of the county has ever had, you haven't
brought out the right man.-Galena
Times.
Well, Galena, there are two violent
errors in the above comment. Baxter
has not brought out the right man or
the wrong man for about eight years.
missioner McGregor Is not real
dent of Baxter Syringe and while we
agree that he has made the best officer
the county ever had he halls from
Springvalley township where he has
held his citizenship ever since the war.
The Times knows or ought 10 know
that Mr.. McGregor did not receive a
single Baxter vote In the convention
where he was nominated, yet he has
always been accredited to Baxter
Springs. So It has been with every
office seeker in this part eff the county.
They are all charged up TO Baxter
Springs.
But this year we expect to present a
few candidates of our own and they
will expect the best offices. Probate
Judge is a pretty fair office and so is
district court clerkship. We will take
both of those, If you please, and II Ga
lena wants TO join with us she can
have the Office Of coroner, county
commissioner and representative to
the Legislature. We don't expect to
hog off everything, but 1t Is about
time we were recognized politically as
well as morally the solidest and surest
voting town in this county. For
eight years we have listened to the
fulsoiue flattery of all parties and we
have voted with every party and tor
everything that has come along. but
this wear we mean business and when
you are making up your states and
arranging your rings don't forget TO
put Baxter Springs in for the best Of
fees.

An advertising newspaper called
"Printer's Ink" is having a good deal
of trouble with the post Office depart
mcnt in regard 10 being admitted to the
mails at second class rates. We are Of
the opinion that papers devoted ex-
clusively to advertising should not be
classed with legitimate newspapers
Printers lux Is published entirely In
the interest Of the advertiser and for
his sole benefit, while the regular
newspaper is published In the
interest Of the people aud ia q
benefit to all. The cheap newspaper
postage law was only intended to help
out legitimate papers aud should not

Why are not such calamity papers

is less misery there, or less poverty, or
less indebtedness, for there Is more

Last Saturday seventy-two farmers
buggies, carriages and spring wagons
were counted on the streets Of Baxter
Springs at one time. Seventy-two
farmers and families were buying
goods in Baxter Springs who rode to
town OH springs and their emaciated
forms were wrapped IN good warm
clothing, their care worn faces were
hidden under smiles of sweet content
aud their dOleful cOuntenances only
emitted expressions of satisfaction,
confidence and bright hopes OF the flu
ture. We must admit that many 9TH
err farmers came in that day in COM
mon lumber wagons, but most OF
them had bulky goods to carry home,
or brought grain with them to sell.
The fact is Cherokee county is no
longer the field for calamity howlers
and bone picking vultures. Friend
Joseph, and Moses and Anna should
move out TO the sun-burnt plains OF

Mayor Angler then introduced Col. W.
A. Albright, the orator of the day.
Colonel Albright said:
Fellow Citizeps-When was asked TO
be the speaker of the day, for this occs-
sion, told the committee | would &C.
cept, because knew it would be small
audience, and when the audience was
not large | was never bashful. But
when look over this vast sea of faces;
recognizing so many of them as my fell
low townsmen and seeing so many stran-
gers from abroad, fear that the COM
mittee did not choose wisely when was
invited to make the talk
Yet, my fellow citizens, this vast assem-
blage gives me courage. 1t shows to me
that what we have often termed the
smouldering fires of patriotism are q
myth and a snare and delusion. 1t
suggests to me, and will to you, my fell
low cOuntrymen, that those fires will
never die-that they will glow and burn
and keep alive for all the ages-till eter-
nity--till the last trump has sounded and
Gabriel lays 'er down to rest his lips. 1t
shows TO me and to you and to all of US,
and will show to those yet unborn, that
freedom-I repeat, understandingly, la
dies and gentlemen-that freedom is a
Sweet Boon.
Talk about your bronze chickens,
your peafowls and your turkey buzzarda
but say unto you. and don't you forget
it, there's nothing like the old eagle even
if he is bald and has his tail feathers
pulled out Epluri-Epluri-Ep my
hearers-I say Epluri, sslid onions. and
again caution you not to forget it.
Little did we think a hundred and
sixteen years ago month after next, that
the deeds of daring of our forefathers
would become so deeply impressed upon
us that we would assemble here to day
for the purpose for which, say my fell
low countrymen we have assembled.
reck that this is true-for hundred
and sixteen years ago next month, or
whenever it is, we thought but little about
anything. [Cheers.l
But as was about to say, little did we
think sixteen hundred and one years age
that our forefathers would be here tc
listen to what am saying.
Yet to resume, my fellow countrymen
One year ago our sixteen torefathers little
recked that to-day we would be here in
this beautiful park singing praises tc
those who suppressed the Indian out
breaks which occurred below the Indians
line.
But as the crowd is impatient and leav
ing ! will close. [Cheers
The music played again, and the day
WAS spent in a happy mauner. The
