The farmer and the mechanic must
be free to use the very best tools and
implements, and the merchant and
banker must be free to use the very best
money and instruments of credit. An
honest and stable measure of value is
just as necessary to both as are honest
and stable measures of weights and
quantities, and it requires no argument
to show that without these it would be
impossible TO transact the ordinary busi-
ness Of the country. Hon. John q.

Even though the farmers may be
right in thinking that they are not as

means follows that free coinage will

Mr.. Bryan to the Trusts-You fell

you're doing great things when you put

FIRST VOTES.

About two and one-half millions
of American youths will at the COM
ing election in November cast their
first votes for President of the Uni
ted States. In doing this they will
probably fix their political affilia-
tions for many years, for men are
not apt when once identified with a
party to change unless for some un-
usual reason. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that sound Judgment be
exercised, and that great care be
taken to fortify opinions and con-
clusions with reason and informa-
ton. Crises arise in the history of
nations when the ship must be
guided by steady hands and clear
headed helms men. The people in
this nation man the rudder, and at
such times as the present when fin
ancial rocks and shoals are on all
sides it is eminently proper, nay,
more, it is the imperative duty of
all young men to carefully consider,
and impartially decide each for him
self the momentous question of the
day. This should be conscientiously
done with a firm determination to
do that which will bring the great
est good to all our country, pre-
serve the nations honor and give a
new impetus to human progress.

Yesterday was the first time in many

desk remained closed. Fearing some

There is supremely happy moment
In the life of every man, a time when
earth Is brighter than even ones con-

and joy and ambition crush and
crowd and jostle each other in the hu-
man heart. A time when a man smiles
and laughs and smiles and smiles again
and can't help it for the life of him.
Such was Victor when he announced
for the first time that he was the father
of sweet little blue eyed baby girl.
Affairs of state had no place in his mind.
He cared not for tariff, free silver, in

anything else but the dimpled little dar-

finest and sweetest baby he had ever

also learned that Mrs. Murdoch was

harp or touching the strings of the
charming mandolin He sees her in the
fields picking the wild flowers and weav-

into boquets. Finally he sees her at
his bedside when he is passing into
eternal sleep. What is sweeter TO

BENEATH THE LEAFY BOWERS
Day Long to be Remembered by Wichita
ChautauQua Members.


Friday was recognition day at Win
field for the Chautauqua assembly.
There was much interest in the exer-
cises as Bishop Vincent was to give the
address 10 the graduates for the first
time at this assembly. a jolly party
OF forty-one Wichita Chautauquans and
their friends went 10 Winfield that
morning, making a picnic party I'M
surpassed. Many more of our peo-
pie were camping in that beautiful
grove where young and old trees are so
blended that the shade is perfect
throughout the day. There were nine
graduates eight ladies and one lone
man. Mrs. E. Hill, Mrs. c. G.. Cohn
and Miss Kincaid received diplomas
At a pleasant banquet given TO the c.
L. s. c. and their guests, Mrs. Il. VI.
Piatt responded TO the toast 'Au Re-
voir," and in a most exquisite manner
paid Bishop Vinvent a beautiful trib-
ute of which he was very appreciative.
Such day is replete with incidents
which linger in memory throughout the
year and do much TO create the enthu-
siasm which promotes the growth of the
Chautauqua idea. There are now
ebout fifty graduates in Wichita and
several reading circles. The party re-
turned Friday night in a special car
kindly furnished them by the Santa Fe
people. Among those in attendance
this week were: Misses Kincaid, May
throne, Knorr, Mclaughlin, Whitbeck,

Means Much to the County.
The elevator meeting yesterday asw

was attended by a class Of farmers
who when they join hands with any
movement carry il to success.
c. G. Cohn, T. G. Fitch, F. D. Ste
vens and others were among the speak
ers and laid the matter plainly before
the people The only question that the
farmers asked was that the proposition
was a genuine one, that there was not
a catch about the business, and when
they were assured by every banker in
the city, by every business man and
by the individual members of the Com
merciai club that they had thoroughly
examined the proposition made by MT
Caldwell, and had become thoroughly
convinced that the men were financially
able to carry out thir part Of the con-

Grated as provided for in the bond given
70 the Commercial club, they no longer
stood upon the question whether or not
to take stock. and a good subscription
was made.
Farmers realized that an advance of

which is being harvested at the present

Wichita citizens realize that in secur-
