over" 1t was happy thought, and
the company enjoyed the occasion
greatly.
The number 13 seems to be logging
the class of '95. This is the 18th class
to graduate; there were 10 on the pro-
gram and IL of them went to Hum
boldt to attend the commencement
there. If there were anything in the
13 superstition,-but there isn't.
In addition to the mountains of
flowers nearly every member of the
class received book or something
else of substantial value.
The stage decorations were probab-
ly the handsomest and most appro-
pirate we have ever had and that is
saying good deal.
There was a good sprinkling of
Humboldt and Moran people in the
audience besides a large number from
the country.
This is probably the first time on
earth that a commencement program
has been repeated because tbs public
really wanted it. lola sets the pace.

Having served one term as county
Clerk, and made success of it, Mr..
James Wakefield naturally and pro-
perly desires to succeed himself. And
so far as yet appears nobody proposes
to object. Mr.. Wakefield has made q
model officer. He is always at his
post, careful, courteous and attentive,
and doing his work to the entire sat

heard, of all who have business with
the office or who know anything
about its management. So far as APP

Republican Love for Them Colossal Fraud
and an Irideseent Dream.
If anything more was necesssrJ to
show that the republican party is be-
ginning to disregard the claims Of the
old soldier more openly than ever, the
recent demand on the part of the re-
publican central committee of Ford
county for the resignation Of Vine De.
Pui, an old soldier member of the
committee, ought to- be sufficient, The
following is the veterans reply to the
letter asking his resignation:
By request OF your committee, dated Sep.
tember 16, 1895, and to me addressed this
day hand you my resignation As q member Of
such committee.
Permit me to say, however, that am an ex-
union soldier Of the war Of the rebellion, and
know Of no reason why should be asked to
resign unless 1t be that my preference is for
an honorably discharged soldier for office In
she coming election this fall, who, it seems to
me, by his long service TO his country In &C.
tive warfare from 1861 to 1866, should receive
some little recognition in . republican con.
ventlon. Instead, however, they turned down
an old, true aud competent veteran and placed

INSURANCE MONEY EXEMPT
The District Court Decides That Insurance
Money Cannot Be Taken For Debts
Of Beneficiary.


Money Cannot Be Taken For Debts
Of Beneficiary.
The district court of this county has
again passed on the question Of the
taking of insurance money by garnish-
ment to satisfy the debts of the in
sured. Some time ago the judge passed
on a similar case, stating that he had
spent about three months trying to
find some law that would enable him
to hold the money for the deCeased's
beneficiary. He had failed. In the
present case, however, he had better
success.
He now holds that the law of 1895,
made especially to cover such cases,
applies, and that as this case was be-
gun since the law was passed, it sp-
piled to this case. He held that the
creditors of the beneficiary could not
interfere with the payment Of the
amount of the policy by the companies.
In the former case, which was begun
prior to the session of the Legislature,
this law could not apply.
This decision is just one, and, If
affirmed by the supreme court, it
means that wheu a husband or father
pays the premium on an insurance
policy through life that the beneficiary
will get the amount of the policy paid
for, irrespective of the condition of the
estate or the financial condition of the
beneficiary. 1t will certainly COM
mend itself to reasonable people.

Last year S. S. King, of Kansas City,
brought suit against j. A. Smith, of
the same place, for libel. The charges
indirectly affected the state admins
tration and Colonel Fred Close took
interest enough In the matter to ask
King for a copy Of the testimony at
the request of Editor Costigan of the
Ottawa Journal, for publication.
King, who was by the nature Of the
charges, more interested in giving this
information to the public, now pre-

to sue on it. The facts in the case

why Not Have Better State Lawsi

EDITOR ADVOCATE: - There are
questions which are of vital impor.
tanCe to the people of Kansas, which
ought not to be lost sight Of in the sg-
itstion Of the public problems now so
general. The great national questions
are being so hotly contested that mat
ters of interest to citizens of this state
are apt to be overlooked. Are our
taxation laws, our ballot laws, our
naturalization laws, our liquor laws,
and several others that might be men
toned, as good as might be msdep
May we not profit by our past expert
ence and improve upon our past work?
It seems as though we should be able
to make better and more wholesome
laws In several respects than we have.
Our tsxstiOn laws, especially as re-
lates to schools, are very unjust, The
district is made the basis Of taxation
for school purposes, while the town.
ship lin general) is the basis for taxa.
tion for the improvement of roads,
payment Of railroad bonds, ETC., which
all the taxpayers of the township join
In paying, while the school district
through which the road runs are the
only ones to enjoy the taxes paid by
said roads. 1t would, one cannot help
thinking, be far more just to have
the district township, and sub district
system, where the sub-directors con.
stitute the district township board and
make all leVies for the schools In their
several townships, and where all the
taxpayers share in the benefits Of taxes
paid by corporations into the township
treasury.
Our ballot law is good put not yet
perfect. The present provision allow
ing sample tickets to be printed either
on colored sheets or in newspapers
should be repealed, and nothing In the
semblance of ticket should be issued
except the legal number to be counted
to the proper officer, every one Of
which is to be accounted for. 1t is in.
tended that our law shall insure every
voter the right to q secret ballot, and
the one who Is entitled to help cen get

of the law through the means of the
sample ticket is plain to be seen in
these cases. It would be poor ex-
cuse Of a man who could not copy If
the "heeler" had marked a sample for
him which he carried with him In the
booth. But l would even 90 further
in reconstructing our election laws.
l would not have any one who should
have help in voting except the one
who was physically unable. That Is,
the cripple or manned one. In q word,
no one should exercise the elective
franchise who was unable to read and
write and have q fair understanding
of our system of government.
The person Who is shaped like a man
and has arrived at the age of 81 years,
if he Is native born and has declared
his intention to become citizen Of
the United States, and has been in the
state six months, can vote, and his
vote counts, and it counts just as hard
as does the vote Of the most learned
man in the state. No wonder abuses
exist. No one would be allowed to
hold q high office in this state who
could not read and no one should be
allowed to vote who cannot read.
Our naturalization laws are worse
than fsrcicsl. A man may come fresh
from Turkey, and If he arrive in this
state by the Let Of May be may declare
his intention to become Q citizen of
the United States, and when election
day rolls round he may march up to
the polls and exercise all the right that
any American citizen can. This IL not
all. have seen scores of men finally
natursliZed who have learned but very
little Of our ways and less Of our laws.
They are generally asked II they like
the laws of this country better than
those of the country from which they
came. The answer is, yes. They
think that it Is the laws that they like,
when in fact they know nothing Of our
laws. 1t is the greater liberty with
which they are in love. Aliens should
be required to read and write our Ian.
gusge and pass an examination as TO
their knowledge Of our form Of govern.
ment, and until they can do this much
and furnish satisfactory proof Of Aood
character, they should have none Of
the rights of citizens az far as pertains
to the governing of this country.
Our liquor laws are good Rs far as
they go, but when governor, who
may call out the state militia to help
him enforce the law, and who prob.
ably would do so In the case Of labor
ing men contending for their rights,
declares that the laws cam % en-.
forced in certain cities, it II Oilne for
the state to take charge Of the bust.
ness and handle it through state
agencies. 1t would seem that this
method would be the next step in the
liquor legislation.
Then there is the question of the
state publication of school books which
many people think would relieve
school patrons from most grieVous
burdens, and which, If this be true,
ought to be brought about as soon as
possible.
