The Atwood Citizen rep thus takes
s fall out Of Joey BristOW and CO
Leland, and at the same time admins
ters some good advice to Senator
Baker: sIt seems to have come to a
pass in the pciitics Of the state when
the senior senator must decide for
himself whether he is to be merely or
namentsl or whether be is to add uti-
lily to his high pOsition-Whether be
will be the mere puppet Of other men,
or whether he viii exercise for himself
and for his constituents all the powers,
privileges and rights with which the
law and custom has clothed the Office
of United States senator. We would
like to see the color OF the mans hair
who would have dared to interfere with
or attempt to reverse a recommends
ton made by either J. J. Ingalls, or P.
B. Plumb after it had been fully agreed
on and published. IF LUcien Baker
has any desire to be senator he cannot
afford to turn over the power person
ally his to the third assistant post
master general, the pension agent, or a
candidate for congress whose personal
unpopularity defeated the party in two
successive elections. These men would
thus use the power delegated as the
basis of reward and punishments by
which it may so happen that the sena-
tors friends are punished and his enc
mics rewarded. Once upon a time, a
man who had been appointed to a high
federal Office, went to debating ap-
pointments to all other offices. ''You
must remember" significantly remark
ed Senator Plumb, shat your own
nomination has not yet been confirmed
by the senate. This is what should en-
gross your attention now; after that
your time will or should be devoted to
the duties Of your Office, without troub-
ling concerning other matters" This
is not a fable, but the truth, and its ap-
plication is commended to Senator
Baker and to all who feel called on to
meddle in matters that belong to and
concern only the republican senator
from Kansas. If he makes a mistake,
he must bear the burden He don't
need to load himself up with the mis-
takes Of the irresponsible other fellows.

We PROFOUND thisqUery. Is MuldroW,
as a neighbOrhOOd, on the decline2
Is the spirit Of good viii and neighbor-
" association being smothered out by
one OF jealousy and disse1tion? If so,
win this state Of feeling continue IN
I'll the final downfall is completed, or
viii common sense and unbiased judg-
ments gain the ascendency and restore
the community to its former state? Are
neighborhOOds subject to the same
conditions Of growth in social ameni-
ties and prosperity, and, also in the
causes Of their decline, as nations?
These are questions that present
themselves to the mind Of an observer
If he takes the trouble to look into
the state Of things as they exist here.
There is no doubt but what the COM
munity is on the decline if one takes
into consideration the uneoncerned
feeling which the people seem to have
for each other, their GOODNESS in their
greetings and their Iistlessness in their
casual associations.
If one consults his recoIlections Of
bygone days he viii recall with pleas
ure the friendliness Of all toward each
other, the mutual interest taken to
promote the good will and advance the
social prosperity OF the neighborhod,
and then compares those times with
the present and the impression is SEN
sibly felt that, to use familiar quota
ton, "there is something rotten in
Denmark" The question arises as to
the cause Of this state of things. Is it
prosperity, sectarianism or factional
jealousy?
If any Of these three are the real
cause it would be difficult to overcome
them. The first could be counteracted
by two or three years of crop failure.
The second, probably, would not yield
to this treatment, and the third would
require the genius and harmonizing
qualities of Clay or Gladstone.
Our final query is difficult of solu-
ton. "a house divided against itself
cannot stand" History furnishes ex-
amples of nations arising TO the zenith
of power by the force of despotic gov
eminent long after the national spirit
had departed, but the frame oflaw and
the network Of social polity snapped
at last as all merely formal bonds of
union eventually must. Union is of
the heart.
Nearer, dearer bands of love
Draw our hearts in union"

as LIFE WORTH LIVING. "

Life Is worth living If we live Alright,
Eyes to the front, the final end in view
The end when all aim trivial or untrue
Must burst like airy bubbles on our sight.
Life is worth living If we do our best;
Our best is often greater than our dream.
Immortal souls with mighty forces teen
They are revealed by him who makes the
quest.
Life is worth living when our secret thought
Hides our least wish OF impulse, hope OF aim,
Thatcan bring disappointment, sOrrOW, shame,
Or hurt to any fellow beings lot.
Life is worth living when we strive to be
OF greater use tomorrow than to-day.
Moulding ourselves from rough unsightly clay
To something lovely for the world to see.

! George Hess has bought the other
three forties of the Holmes land here
on the Smoky, consideration 500. The
water and grass is worth that every
two years. George has 800 acres now.
Mat Rick says he would rather pay
taxes than try to maintain a house on
his homestead when he can't reside
there all the time, and now the change
has come.
J. B. Moore made a start to tear the
Dewitt building down one evening and
move it over to his place for safe keep
ing until DeWitt's return next year,
and the next day a neighbor (near byj
took load of the floor and joice for
fuel purposes. Jim was going to bring
it back but was afraid another neigh
Dor would get load while he was gone
after that.
We suppose Ed Strand had a large
Thanksgiving roast as he borrowed a
gun and shot that nice fat three year
old flley on the oath that got cut on
the wire.
The LaBlanche correspondent has
been exerting his energies to the full
capacity trying to find out who that
man was that had so large a cane patch
in the southwest part of the county
that he got lost therein for two days
and one night, which appeared in the
general items of The REPUBLIC last
month. Now We give George HamIin
credit for having the largest cane patch
we know of, and while George has one
eye that is rather inclined to look for
snakes while the other would be look
ing for flying cranes, we venture to say
he could not have been lost in his patch
but what he could have found his way
out in IS many minutes as days refer
red to, although the limited time would
be so dark that q pile Of white cats
would have made q black spot. We
have been trying to give the items from
this corner for nearly q year, and We
think a notable Of that kind could not
escape US, and should not been pub
Iished without your "Uncle FuIleris"
consent.
As to Gus Carriers esquireshi p: Tt is
truthfulIy asserted that she came in
without any opposition" and he may
prepare to go out without any opposi-
ton also, If he dOesen't move over and
do business at the city of La Blanche.

The Arkansas river, which used to be
the largest stream in Kansas, is now no
river at all in the eastern part of the
state, except during a flood Cotton
woods are growing in the bed and
farmers fear the course will be so
chOked in a few years that a food
would menace life and property all
along the valley. The big irrigating
companies further west have monopo-
liked the waters of the one-time big
river.
