County Superintendent Webb gave
notice last week to members of the various
school boards in the county, to meet ut
the voting precinct of the county in whic.
their school houses are located, Oh Tne>-
day, August %, at 3 P. M, and elect one
delegate as member of the county text
board, which is to meet at the Superin-
tendent's Office in Dodge City, OH Satur-
day. August 20, ut P N.
In making the selection of this delegate
it will be proper for school boards to in
struct the delegate to the county con-
ventiOn whether he shall vote for change
in text b oks or whether he shall not.
All school boards know whether change
in school books is desirable at this time
or not. Owing to the hard times u
change is not deemed wise, and as the
present books i'm use are suitable and
satisfactory. a change is not deemed ex-
pedient 1t is believed that no change
will be made.

vention refused to accept Cranes books

Whenever a silver man tells you that
free aud unlimited coinage will bring
silver up one hundred pei cent In price
to ratio of sixteen to one with gold,
ask him why it was that free and unlim-
tied coinage of gOld from 1906 to 1873
never brought gold up three per cent in
price to a ratio Of sixteen to one with
silver During all that time gold had
always from two to three per cent above
the sixteen to one ratio.

The Republicans of Kansas have done
we'll in renominating Gov. Morrill, by ac-
clamatiOn. He has served the State in a
capable and faithful way, and is the kind
of man in whom the people have per-
feet confidence. The Bryanopulists are
claiming Kansas. but there is good reason
to believe that they will be disappointed
by considerable majority for the Re-
publican ticket -GlObe-DemOcrat.

Governor Morrill, passed through Dodge
City en- route to Colorado, to join his
family, on Friday night. The Governor
had telegraphed to Mr.. Juneau, one Of
the SOLDIERS Home managers, to meet
him here at the depot, and consult about
some matters concerning the Home. Of
course, we are not advised in regard to
the conversation. An effort is being
made to have the present cOmmandant ut
the Home removed. There is some dis
satisfaction of the Home management.
among the members, but to what extent,
we are not advised. On inquiry. as usual
in such cases, we find ''twO sides" to the
matter under controversy. At any rate.
the Governor is not the kind of man
who will act hastily without an I'M
partial hearing.

There is TO uncertain sound in the plat
form adopted by the Republicans of Kan.
sas. Heretofore, Republican State con-
ventions have equivocated in order to
catch votes and pander to the populist
element Free silver was proclaimed,
and it was sowing to the wind and reap
ing the whirlwimd. We have some sob
ject lessons on this score. Many Re-
publicans voters who imbibed this heresv
can hardly adjust their beliefs to exist
ing conditions. Said citizen of the
county to the GLOBE-REPUBLICAN editor:
1.-The Republicans of Kansas haye al
ways advocated free silver and have be-
come believer in the doctrine.
1t is easily explained why free silver
Republicans, standing by the former
declarations Of the party. 10 the state,
cannot reconcile their views on money
with the National platform. But, there
are very few Republicans in the county
who will not soon see their way clearly
and support both the State and National
tickets.

night of the speech. Over 10000 people

Howard Thurs,on, near Harrington, where
he had gone, but short time ago.
Father. mother and sister were ut the bed

news was received here with much sad
ness. Little did we think when Howard
left us, hale and hearty, it would be the
last time We would ever meet him again
on earth. While he is gone we can think
Of him rs having been young man of
good habits and leading an exemplary
life. Father. mother and sister, we all
