"ToLD we sol" More than year ago. we
predicted that Grover Cleveland would be the
Democratic nominee for president in 1906 and
now comes the New York World, Democratic
paper that, heretofore, has been one of Ceve-
lands most bitter opponents, and says he is
the only logical candidate the Democrats can
name for the presidency. Cleveland will be
nominated by the gold-bug Democrats, and the
silver men will leave the party in droves. The
Sherman element will flock to Cleveands
standard. He will carry New York and some
of the New England states, but he won't carry
Southern state. Silver Republicans will not
be satisfied with their platform or candidate,
and hosts of them will walk out. The pros
pect for the reformers is bright. Buckle on
the armor, boys, and get down to business.

A FARMER FOR GOVERNOR.

ple's party. 1t was through the farmer vote
that Willets was elected governor Though he
was counted out), and it was the farmer vote,
two years later, that placed Leweling in the
gubernatorial chair. Notwithstanding this,
the farmers have not received the recognition
that is Justly due them. There are two
ons for this lack of recognition One reason
is that the farmers are not class of Office
seekers, and it is hard to find one who is will
ling to accept the nomination for any office,
and they have preferred to step aside and let
men in other walks of life take the Offices and
s'run the politics." And this is just where
the farmers have always made mistake. They
have always left political matters to the men i'll
the cities and towns, "who have more time for
such things" and who, in the main, know but
little about the farmers interers, forget them.
Another reason is that under present political
conditions, a political campaign is an expensive
thing, and but few are able to stand that eX-
pense, so the nominations have, as rule, been
given to lawyers, merchants and others who
have been better able to put up the money for
the necessary Cor supposedly necessary ex-
penses.
1t is not lack of intelligence or qualifca-
ton which has caused the farmers to take
back seat. Although we are often told that
none but lawyers and bankers understand ques
lions of government, especially finance, the
past few years have developed the fact that the
farmers are not asleep; that they are not dumb
brutes, fit only to delve in the soil and raise
grain, vegetables, cattle and hogs, and live on
coarse food and wear the cheapest of clothing
Farmers nowadays are studying and thinking
They understand afais of government as well
as any other class of people They are giving
the questions of land, finance and transporta
ton especial attention. 1t is plain to them
that they are becoming poorer each year; that
they are being robbed; and they understand
the cause of it all. We know plenty of farm
ers who can give the lawyers and bankers val
liable pointers in the discussion of these ques-
tons, and can't be downed i'll argument.
Kansas is essentially farming state-farm-
ers compose the bulk of our population. When
the farmers prosper, the whole state prospers.
When they suffer, we all suffer. Their inter
ests are our interests.
For these reasons, and others, we insist that
the farming interests should be we'll represent
ed in official positions, especially in the guber-
material chair and legislative offices.
Give us farmer governor and farmer leg
islature, and many of our ills will be remedied
and the general interests of the state will be
we'll cared for.

HOW HE. RECLAIMED HIS VAllSE.
Listened to the Advice Of the Crowd and
Then Took His Own WAY.

1t was an hour after midnight when he
toiled up the steps of the Alley l., " carry
ing Il valSc. Instead of putting it down
on the platform while he was waiting for
the train he placed it on the railing and
rested his elbow on it.
OF course, while he was in that position
some one brushed against him, and the
grip took tumble to the roof of low
building Il feet below. Instantly every
one on the platform was on the spot asking
what had happened, some of them sympa-
thizing. some snickering and nearly all Of
fering suggestions.
The fat man held out a cane with
curved handle and said, If you could tie
rope to this you might hook it into the
handle of the grip and pull tup." Strange
to say, no one had clothesline in his vest
pocket, and so that idea had to be passed
up.
you'll have TO wait till morning" said
another, ''and get the people who own the
building 60 let you get up on the roof -
Better notify the police, - suggested an
other. This seemed to gain the approval
of the crowd except one man, who thought
it would be q good idea to tell the ticket
seller about it, which he Immediately start
ed to do.
All this time the man who owned the
grip said not Il word, but calmly waited
until tho crowd had exhausted its stock of
suggestions. Then he turned to a colored
youth ard asked him if he could climb.
The boy answered in the Affirmative, and
then the man said, I'm give you a quarter
if you will shin down that iron support
and bring up my grip"
In less than minute the valise was In
the owners hands, and the Others were
wondering why they didn't think Of that

go as the matter was satisfactorily
