Morrill, is in it. l am sorry that Nor
rill ever was soldier, that during all
those years he failed tolearn that law
could he enforced.
Eden was named by Thomas Hellar
in honor Of a FreemasOn lodge in Cal
ifOrnia about thirteen years ago. Mr..
Hellar moved back to the place above
named. A brother of his lives south
Of Wichita.

Anderson Gray is now working for
his board and clothes. Some kind of
a law was enforced in his behalf. A
great deal of dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed, Some think they could hang
Morrill, and Anterior according to
law as well as send Anderson Gray to
the pen.
We feel sorry for Governor Morrill,.
We think for an old soldier to make
the statement he made, that law can
not be enforced where public senti-
ment is opposed to the law. Wonder
if he knows the war is over, that the
law against treason and rebellion was
put in force in 1876 in the south
when the south refused to come back.
He must have good idea of the power
of law. Wonder who hypnotized him
to say so. Surely every one who wore
the blue or gray knows better, but
then they say Morrill, was only a COM
missary sergeant. That accounts for
why he thinks the law cannot be en-
forced.
Last Friday Mrs Jesse Hall invited
eighteen or twenty Of Eden'S old
ladies and with their nimble fingers
finished one quilt ana half of the sec
Ond in fine style. 1t was Mrs. Halls
18th birthday. Jesse Hall, wife and
four children moved to Eden eighteen
years ago and now have a very cosy
home. The ladies reminded us of the
first Eden. The topic for discussion
was Kansas and hard times. DisSat-
isfaction and discontentment, but oh,
the faces at the dinner table when
they found they could not eat all the
good things prepared by the hostess.
They all ate like so many wood chop
pers. Then there came a gentle
shower Of rain. Oh, the jubilee they
had. Do LITTLE.

in Mulvane Friday night. Sub. ect:
"The Problem Of the Unemployed"
II your humble servant is any Judge

that the Rev. BOtkin gave his hearers
more food for thought, more good
reasoning, more Christian patriotism,
more Of that which constitutes the
true American citizen than he would
have dared express from the pulpit in
a lifetime. His address was simply
grand, made grander by the sacrifice
he has been and is at this time max
ing for the common cause Of human

There was one person who had the

Shall dance a cantanna at the ball,
When the twilight shall come at noon
And Cleveland and Shelby agree,
And where all other parties have vanished,
Old party we'll come back to thee.

natures dumb creatures shall have
assumed a position so far above their
present condition and if all other peo.
pie leave this roll of tears or are alb.

equilibrium, we will stand firm fol
those almighty principles Of justice
and liberty, equality and union which
have been and still are being prOnul
gated by the Peoples party. Now, i
the redeemers want more men to joiI
their rank and they surely neeC
them, let them seek out some out o
