Memorial Dav.

In the high tide OF spring comes
the tenderest holiday Of the year
Memorial day. 1t is an occasion
for the truest devotion Of the Ameri-
can heart. The significance is lost
on the average man or woman who
has not come to know the sorrow that
is bound up in the departure OF the
husband, father or brother who had
gone to battle and been borne home
upon his shield. The veterans OF the
late war we're the heroes Of this CEN
fury in the annals Of the nation.
They were the protectors OF the
nations honor and its glory. 1t is
little enough to do to devote one day
to the honoring Of their memory.
Every true lover Of his country and
every one who reverences Its defend
ers must look upon the growing
tendency to desecrate the day by de-
voting it to the worldly amusements
with regret. II the old soldier and
the dead veteran do not deserve one
day Of memory so consecrated that it
shall be.entirely devoted to the recog-
milton of their services they do not
deserve any thing. TO sandwich
the memorial exercises between a
horse race and a bicycle contest with
two or three ball games as side at
fractions is scarcely doing the soldier
the honor that is due him.
The ranks are lessening year by
year and the steps Of the boys in blue
who wend their way to their COM
rades' graves are weaker and weaker
with each succeeding season. Only a
few years and the last one will have
answered the roll call. Let us do
them all the honor we can while they
are with us--it will be far more APP
p.eciated then any amount of glori-
iication after they are dead.

has done all things else in life,

loud in their praise Of the very per-

velvety lawns between, lighted with
Chinese lanterns, made the whole
scene delightful.
The guests were received at the
Burton home where hats were laid
aside and after short stay there was
gradual progression to the Ander-
son parlors and later all sat down to
a delicious lunch at the home Of Mrs.
and Miss King. The spacious rooms
were very attractive with the dainty
tables and sparkling adornments.
The following young ladies assisted
in serving at the tables: Misses Ida
Upshaw, Ida Romig, Margaret Will

Typer, May Atkinson, Maud Atkin-
son, Luella Rudolph, Vena Spangler'

Of 900 acres and was bought by the mort

And simultaneously comes. the re-
port that Griffin is out for congress
on the Pop ticket. Griffin's progress
Pop-ward and the degeneration Of his
farm and finances have gone along
hand in hand and it is difficult to tell
which caused the other. 1t will be
generally recognized however as a
very natural combination. Griffin
seems to have every qualification for
a Pop leader.

A Natural Arrangement.

The Pop candidate for representative In
Wichita county states his position thus: Il
am Democrat and want to see Democrat
elected u s. senator, But realize that II |
am elected | must get the populist vote.
Therefore, promise that II my vote will
elect Pop senator 1t will be given. lfnot.
| am for John James ingalls,. -[Topeka
Mail.
We do not doubt that this arrange
ment has been made. Indeed, 1t
seems the most reasonable thing in
the world. 1t is exactly what should
be expected from a grateful party Of
Pops and anti-Republicans. Mr.. In
gals made Populist speech in con-
gress that has furnished the Pop
party with ammunition for six years.
When John Davis debated with Re-
publicans he used to devote five
sixths Of his time to reading from the
speech. 1t has kept the Republicans
apologizing from that day to this
Mr.. ingalls, depended upon that
speech to give him prestige among
the Pops to such an extent that his
strikers went about over the State as
sorting that Notwithstanding the leg
islature is overwhelmingly Populist
he would get enough Pop votes to
make him senator. He has shirked
Republican campaigns and sulked
ever since and thus given no cause to
his Pop friends to disapprove of his
course or conduct.
1t is not at all surprising that in
view Of all that he has done for the
enemies Of the Republican party that
Pops should prefer him to any good
Republican who has assisted in driv.
ing their party and all its crazy
vagaries out Of the political supre-
macy to which they rose for time.
He has in the language Of the war
times "given comfort and aid to the
enemy" and 1t is very reasonable that
the enemy should be glad to recipro-
cate. 1t is hardly recommendation
however to the Republicans that the
Pops have this feeling towards the
man whom the state honored for so
many years without getting any
adequate return. The reward that
the party has for its slavish bowling
down to this pet Of the Pops is the
existence Of a denunciation OF the
party to which he owed his political
fortunes and it would be strange II
the opposition to Republicanism and
to all things that are Of good repute
in politics should not hug him to Its
bosom. Mr.. Ingalls, is welcome to
the hugging, Let him train with the
the crowd he likes best.

Made Splendid Records.

II will be noticed that the talk
about the head Of the Republican
State ticket has never gone to the ex-
tent Of throwing any doubt around
the denomination Of the other state
house officers. The governor has, it
is admitted, made good officer but
the policy Of bis administration has
offended some. But there is not one
who can place finger on the acts OF
these officers and say that aught has
has been done in slip-shod or un-
businesslike manner. The one char
acteristic Of the whole list has been
that of exactness in every particular.
The offices have been conducted in
manner that has won praise from
everyone who has had business in
them. There has not been a single
assertion, even on the part OF a watch
full crowd Of Pops, that anything has
been wrong. 1t will be remembered
that this was not so during the Pop
administration. Then scarcely day
passed but there was scandal in the
state house. From basement to gar
ret it was the abiding-place Of a lot OF
men who were anxious not to serve
their State well but to grab all that
was in sight. Not even the school
department under the profane Mr.
Gaines was exempt from these scan
dals and the matter became stencil
in the nostrils of every lover OF the
good name Of Kansas, regardless OF
party. The change has been a good
one and the way in which the affairs
OF state are administered will COM
mend the entire list Of the officers to
the party and the people. They de-
serve reelection and will get it. One
good term deserves another. The
Pops did not give the one good term
hence they fell down on their little
plan to get another, for which Kan
sas has reason to be thankful.

Four years from this fall he can be Dlckin-
sons candidate. -[Clay Center Times
We beg to remind the Times 1t is
talking about the election OF a state
senator, not Of matter OF barter and
trade. No man or set Of men had the
right in 1888 to make disposal Of
the senatorship in this district for
1896 and 1t is a reflection on the party
that it should be alleged that the
offices are parceled out years in ad-
vance. Can the men who are promi-
nent in party affairs today say who
shall be the leader eight years henceP
The office of senator Is to be given by
the people now on earth and not by
those Of other days. The nominee
will be the one chosen by the dele
gates who meet at the convention and
no one is empowered to dictate to
them from which county they shall
take their man, much less a party OF
men Of the year 1888. There is no
reason why we Of today can say who
shall be chosen In "four years from
this fall"
Surprising such an agreement was
made, is Clay county in a position to
enforce itp When its candidate, Mr..
Hardness, was in the field this county
gave him majority Of 1909 and when
four wears later Mr.. Thisler OF this
county was a candidate it gave him a
majority of 25, but Clay turned in a
majority of 1902 for the anarchlstic
Sem and elected him over the efforts
Of Dickinson Now this county asks
this. that we select the man who can
be elected, regardless of any promises
of the vintage Of 'SS. This is good
politics and good business. We want
a. Republican senator from this dis
trict regardless Of the side Of the road
on which he lives. That is the kind
of Republicans we are down here.
Mr.. Smith has demonstrated his
strength in thi; county. In the 1894
election he carried this county over
the combined opposition by 1885, He
is equally popular now and to name
him means to insure an election OF q
Republican II Clay is at all in the
procession, as we hope to see her this
time. Let's go in to win and do it.

Cvclonic Devastation.

The fearful havoc of the st. Louis
storm was unprecedented in the
history of the nation. 1t was as
terrible in its work as in its appear
ance. People have often wondered
what would happen if a cyclone
should strike large city. Now they
know. The experience has been one
that needs no repetition. 1t has
demonstrated that nothing built by
man above ground can resist the
destructive force Of the funnel shaped
cloud when it is in motion. In view
of the record Of lives lost and
property destroyed year after year it
would seem to be good policy to make
a study of the characteristics Of this
class of storm and II possible secure
such data as will be of value in escap-
ing or evading the terrible visitations.
Perhaps the more settled condition of
the country is responsible for the
apparent frequency Of the tornadoes
in these latter days or it may be that
they are really increasing in number.
At any rate they are increasing in the
amount Of injury done and the vic
tins are more numerous each season.
1t is to be hoped that the st. Louis
storm is the elimination Of the dread
terror for many years.
