The Duty Of Republicans,

1t cannot be said perhaps that the
duty Of Republicans Is different from
that Of all other good citizens, which
is to uphold that which is best in
government, is cleanest and purest in
the administration Of public affairs
and is Of most credit to the public
generally. But this can be said
Upon Republicans falls tho duty o.
keeping before the people the princi'
pies Of their party, Of encouraging
the addition Of new ~Sembcrs to the
organization and Of seeing to II that
their friends and nelghbors are made
fully aware cf'the work that the Re-
publican party has done and proposes
to do in building up this nation and
state to higher things.
The way to forward this is to begin
at the bottom. II cannot be made
too prominent that the party that
elects road overseers and township
officers is the one that 0lects presi-
dents. Organization is as important
in an "olf-year' as in a year when all
is excitement and hurrah for state
and national tickets
This is called ali off year The
judicial officers are the highest ones
to be elected. For the good Of the
Republican party, for the good Of
Kansas, for the advancement OF the
principles which have been OF most
worth to state and nation, IL is the
duty of Republicans Of Dickinson
county to see to il that there is a
shoulder to shoulder fight along the
whole line for the whole ticket. Dick
inson county has record to sustain
and will, we believe, do IT right.

CHAPMAN STANDARD.
Another Dickinson Republican Pa
per Speaks,

The leading Republican paper Of
East Dickinson, the Chapman Stand
ard, has this; 0. l., Moore, the
Republican nominee, is one Of
the bravest, truest, cleanest men
In Dickinson county. No man
who ever trusted him has cause to
regret 1t and not a dishonest act OF
breath OF scandal was ever attached
to his name. He will be elected as 0
matter Of course and will make one
Of the best Judges that ever occupied
the bench in the Eighth Judicial dis
trict. The Republicans have decided
that twenty-three years is long
enough to elect candidates from a
minority party to fill this important
office. The voters want Republican
this year, and will demonstrate this
fact by casting their ballots for Mr..
Moore.
Mr.. Moore needs no introduction to
the voters Of Dickinson county, as he
has lived here nearly quarter of a
century and no man can say aught
against his character as an honorable
and upright citizen and his Republi-
canism is beyond question. He has
made o good record as a successful
attorney and is well qualified for the
office.

SOLOMON SENTINEL.
A Leading Republican Editors Earn

The Solomon Sentinel, a prominent
Dickinson county Republican paper
says this: Hon. 0. L. Moore, of Abb

Republican delegate convention at
Herington as the nominee Of the Sth

and iavorably known to our citizens

ABILENE NEWS, DEMOCRATIC.
High Commentator from a Political
Enemy.

Abilene News (Dem.): 1t was with
pleasure that the residents Of Abilene
and Dickinson county heard OF the
nomination Of their esteemed fellow
citizen, Mr.. Moore, as the candidate
for the judiciary in this, the Eighth
judicial district. While many Of our
citizens cannot cast their ballots for
Mr.. Moore, yet their refusal will be
from principle, not from any personal
feeling towards the candidate. Mr..
Moore is a broad-minded, intelligent
gentleman Of culture, against whom
not the slightest suspicion Of dis
honor has ever been directed. He is
an attorney who is especially well
read in law, He has the dignity, the
Judgment, the integrity, which be-
comes a Judge. II the people Of this
district see fit to raise him to one
Of the most important positionsin in the
State, they will secure an honest and
competent man who will adorn his
lofty position

Dickinson County Press on the
Eighth District Judgeship,
OIL MOORE A COMPETENT, HONEST ATTORNEY,
HER1NGToN TIMES.
Editor Crary Speaks from Long Ac-
quaintance.

Editor Crary Of the Herington
Times, Republican, has known Mr.
Moore for nearly 20 years, He says;
1t is with more than ordinary amount
Of pleasure that we speak of Hon. 0.
l.. Moore, of Abilene, the Republican
candidate for Judge. We desire to
say that the editor Of the Times has
been intimately acquainted with Mr..
Moore for nearly twenty years, and
we can say that no person living can
trace one single unmanly act to his
door. Mr.. Moore is not only a man
Of tine education but he is what
every person likes to see, a self-made
man in every sense to which that
term applies Wnen mere boy he
enlisted in a West Virginia cavalry
regiment and was in every battle
fought by General Phil Sheridan in
Shenandoah valley, When the war
closed he came west and located in
Dickinson county where he has lived
ever since.
Elect Mr.. Moore Judge Of this dis
trict and our word for it you will
have as competent and high minded q
gentleman upon the bench as can be
found anywhere. Turn over the
judicial affairs of this district to Mr..
Moore and our word for it the rights
Of the poor man who earns his living
by the sweat Of his brow, as Mr..
Moore has long ago learned to earn
his, will be respected at all times and
under all circumstances. Vote for 0.
L. Moore for district judge and you
will vote for man who is worthy of
your sufrages and one who will never
permit the rights Of any man to be
| ieopardized. That is the kind of a
man 0. L. Moore is and that is the
kind Of u Judge that he will make.
And whal Is more, we nave full con
fdence to believe that the voters of
the Eighth judicial district will see
to it that he is elected on the 9th
day of November next by a good
round majority, to say the least
The Times supports Moore for dis
trlet judge because it knows HIM to
be amply qualified by experience and
education for that position. 1t is no
guess work, either. 1t is a fact that
we will see demonstrated before one
fourth part Of his term of office will
expire.
0. L. Moore is No. | lawyer, q
man of good Judgment, and what is
more he has a record for honesty that
any man may feel justly proud OF.

wIGGLING TILL sUNDowN.
The Monitors Editor Has No Inter
est in the Campaign.

The apathy Of the Pop Monitor
during the campaign has been so
marked as to cause considerable com
ment. Very little attention has been
given the Pop cause, since IT came
out in a blast calling fusion "politi-
cal idiocy." 1t has been an open
secret that Struble had no heart in
the campaign and, besides doing a
little mud-slinging on the side that
has done his ticket more harm than
good, has simply copied from other
Pop and mugwump papers.
If reports are true, the reason has
come to light. A leading Pop at
torney is authority for the statement
that the Monitor has been sold 10
a Salina man and that this weeks
issue will be the last under Struble's
management. He has, 1t is also re-
ported, been offered a salaried posi-
ton elsewhere and will accept it..
1t has been very apparent that
the Peoples Party was a waning
institution and the rapldity with
which a long and varied procession
Of proprietors Of its chief organ
have dropped the handles has shown
more clearly than anything else a
waning constituency. The Monitor
has had q had habit OF making an
exhibition Of Its political Ignorance
and shamclessness on every possible
occasion. No wonder it has failed to
command respect or standing.
1t pay to be honest In politics and
the dishonest Demo-Pop combine is
certain to prove boomerang on the
gang Of tixcrs.

On the occasion of Mr.. Warde's last visit to

asking me to play in ''Runnymede" during his
engagement here. Mr.. Harrison also wrote
asking me to take part as he had written the
character OF Marjorie for me. This, in brief, is
my experience on the stage, though story full
OF details might have been more interesting

as an actress, though l am working hard and
conscientiously and hope some day TO be some
thing or somebody in the theatrical world. In

and, in the language of the stage, made a
"hit" in stronger characters. This season we
are to play s'The Lions Mouth" "Runnymede, !"
''The Mountebank, - "Gaston CadoP' and 'tVir-

given me important parts.
Now one word about the playgoers of the

appreciative in America. If an actor or an ac-

GLIMPsEs OF THE STAGE.

Let San franciscan achieve only ordinary
success before the footlights, and the theater-
going public stands ready to give a generous
applause. If, however, one possesses sufficient
genius TO climb notch or two beyond the con-
fines of mere commonplace acting, this same
public figuratively bows its head in grateful
acknowledgment OF the mpliment indirectly
paid to it.
No actress who has graduated from the local
stage or become famous in other cities re-
ceives a warmer welcome or heartier applause
on her every appearance than charming Miss
Fanny Bowman, soon to begin her fourth sea-
son with Frederick Warde. In the following
letter this popular little soubrette tells some
thing of her stage life that viii interest San
Franciscans in general and the theater- going
public in particular:
have never been guilty of writing for a
newspaper before, because I suppose no one
has ever asked me 10.
This time 1 have been asked to tell something
of my stage experience, and as it must be in
my own imperfect way, l crave the public to
remember that am not reporter, but only a
young actress, striving, however vainly time
alone will tell, to reach the topmost round in
my profession. This is not intended as an
egotistical speech-only an ambitious one for

ago at the Alcazar, which 1 am pleased to call

played small parts-sometimes taking child's
parts, and at others assuming more ambitious
role. Near the end of my second year with the
Alcazar, Edward Harrigan played an eight
week engagement there, and he pleased
with my work that he engaged me for forty-two
weeks. That was my first season on the road.
Just here let me say that nothing is so dis
couraging to an actor or actress cold, listless
applause from an audience when the scene de-
mands hearty, vigorous response.
A half-hearted, scattering encore is like
bucket of cold water TO the ambitious, hard
working actress. Speaking of encores, 1 re-

THE VALUE OF SUNSHINE.

The remarkable richness and perfection
OF vegetable forms in California are due to
two main causes-sunshine and bland
climate. The fertility of the soil, though
serviceable as a factor in this result, is
generally everestimated, to the injury of
the State by the observation of the factors
which are rarer and more valuable.
Nor is even the blandness of the climate
so important as is generally believed for
as rule that goes, in other countries of a
semi-tropical climate, merely to the pro-
duction Of coarse, thrifty and abundant
vegetation. For that matter, the climate
OF California, which is misnomer, see
ing that all climates are found in the
Stale, is not semi-tropical, except in its ex-
