A COMMUNICATION.

We regret to note that there seems
to be a ''rule or ruin" spirit display
ed on the part of a small contingent
of the peoples party at the present
time right here in Edwards county.
If men who have been prominent in
the councils of the party go about
proclaiming that if a certain person
is nominated they will not vote for
him, what can we expect from the crank
and file'? And what can the people
party expect in the future but humili'
alton and defeat?
The time has come in the history OF
our party in Edwards county when
the factional hatchet must be buried
handle down, and every true reformer
must put his hand to the plow and his
shoulder to the wheel. Let the past
be past and let us look only to success
in the future. When the representa-.
tives of the party pass upon a per-
sons fitness as a standard bearer il
is certainly a piece of presumI tior
for one man to declare that they were
all wrong.

where there are several fine schools.
And to Springfield where the State
Capitol is located, 1t had some points
of interest but is a very tame affair as
compared with our Capitol at Topeka.
On the same trip I was at Peoria, Ill,
where l witnessed the burning of a
sugar factory. That was a very hot
fire, the brick walls crumbled before
it like wax. 1t was sad to witness the
destruction of so much valuable pro-
perty, but the sight was grand in itself.
This morning 1 returned from trip
to Waterloo, Ia, where 1 visited my
old friend Mr.. 81. ]. Harrison whom l
had not seen for thirteen years. We
talked politics some and Harrison
who is a staunch republican seemed
to think that the good crops and high
prices in Kansas and elsewhere were
the death-knell to populism and free
silver. 1 differed with him, and stat
ed that l thought the cause was still
the same and that what he was pleased
to sneer at as the ''crazy fanaticism
of the populists," was the stern,
self-reliant spirit of the founders of
the Republic. That spirit which op-
posed the tyranny Of Great Britain
and which on hundred battle fields
has proven that it is the purpose of
the American people to rule this land
for the common good!
1t is wonderful what cut has been
made in the prices of bicycles. A
good many wheels guaranteed for one
year were auctioned off here for $l2
each. You can buy the standard high
grade 500 wheels of last Spring for
from $50 to $50. l get very little time
now to ride, but occasionally I put
my little girl in the parcel carrier and
go for a spin.
1 have wondered if the cereal coffees
are used as much in the west as
here. There are number of brands
which we have used with benefit, 1
think and the coffee is certainly worth
a trial.
The weather is so cool here that the
farmers are fearing a frost. Corn
looks we'll in Iowa and there will be
good crop if the frost holds off.
My friends have written to know if
l am coming out to Kansas this fall.
1 would like to attend your peoples
party convention on the 1lth prOximo
and if possible will do so.

MEN KANSAS WHEAT GRADE.

W. w. Culver. chief of the Kansas
4! grain inspection service. notified Sec
retary Big.low of the Kansas City
board of trade on Saturday that he IN.
tended to reyise the rules establishing
the grades OF Kansas wheat and thar
his new schedule would take effect Sep
tember l. The only material change
be the making of a new grade of wheat
to be known as No. l Kansas hard
wheat, Of q minimum weight of 60
pounds to the bushel. He will also tix
the minimum weight of No. 2 hard at
5S pounds and of No. 8 hard at Sc
pounds ! Or bushel.
Heretofore there has been no grad,
of wheat in Kausas known as No hard
and Mr.. Culver saws that he is jus ified
In establishing such grade. He is iE-
formed by Kansas millers that there is
heavy European demand for pure
Kansas hard wheat -four, but it is diff
ficult to get it because of the practice
CT elevator men nf In king spring wheat
and other grades OF VIII at with No. 2
hard, which il the best grade of Kansas
hard wheat As an instance OF this
fact he cites the purchase of over 100.-
600 bushels of No. 2 hard wheat by
Minneapolis men, which. lie says, will
be mixed with No. l spring wheat,
ground into -four and the ffonr sold as
pure Kansas hard wheat -four. The
demand for Kansas hard wheat -four,
he says. comes from the fact that it Is
stronger than the -four made from
spring wheat aud is more strengthen
ing,
This practice in the past was un
qnestionably an injustice to Kansas
wheat" Mr.. Culyer said today. "aud
the only way we can maintain pure
Kansas hard wheat is to insist on the
elevators not mixing anything else
with it."
DO you expect any decided opposi
ton to your move?" the reporter asked.
"There should be no opposition to il.
but it is proba BILE the elevator MN will
make kick"
we'll informed grain man stated to-
day. however. that there would doubt.
less be great uproar from grain men
when the new schedule of grades ent
into effect.
No. 2 hard wheat" he said, sis rec
ognized tho world over as the standard
grade OF Kansas wheat, and any inter
ference with that grade, as for instance
reducing the minimum weight from
fifty nine pounds to fifty eight pounds,
might cause disturbance in the mar
kes to the possible injury of the grain
interests of Kansas.-K. C. Star, Aug.

OUR SCHOOLS.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
/ over the shortening of our schools to
eight months for the coming year.
We believe the school board did what
they thought for the best, but We also
believe it to be a mistake. It is true
that some patrons last year desired an
eight months term because, they said,
some of the girls could not stand nine
months work.
While the opinion of every patron
and the individuality of every child
is entitled to consideration, the school
must establish a standard and work
to that standard. When that is done
people will expect it and work to it
themselves and not bring individual
cases and conditions to bear upon
what must be systematized, if we keep
] our schools up to where the pupils can
stand creditably upon their work when
they enter another school.
We believe our schools are not
what they should be. We say this
with all due Difference to Principal
and teachers for they have done their
part. Three years ago when Profess
sor Kennedy had gotten our schools
into splendid working order, few of
the patrons with mistaken ideas of
economy decided we could do without
principal. The result was over
crowding of the rooms so the teachers
could not do the work as they wanted
to. Our schools suffered fearfully from
this blow. Prof. Yeoman has doIe
all he could to bring things up to q
proper STANDARD in the past two years,
although he has been working under
disadvantages because of the mistake
three years ago.
This year there will be a complete
change in textbooks, and it seems
there is needed more instead of
less than the usual term. Some
of the leading educators today are
advocating continuous terms of school
throughout the year, and three uni
versities have tried it for two years
past. In the kindergartens and pub
lie schools where they have tried it
for two years past, they believe it has
worked we'll. Of course the work has
been light and the sessions short.
Why not try the plan proposed by
F. c. Blanchard last year. of having
nine months term, with half a day
sessions the first two weeks and the
last two? Sitting in school a whole
day at the beginning is pretty hard
on Boys and girls after a vacation

Lovely weather with light shower

Wheat threshing is going on rapid

there been so much grain shipped in
one season. Heavily loaded wagons
of wheat are coming in every day.
While riding around recently, l
saw many farm implements lying at
the edges of the fields, taking the
rains, dew and sunshine, l thought
how careless the men We're, leaving
their agricultural tools out to be
ruined, when by a little care they
could house them from the weather.
And, l also thought what q hue and

WORD TO THE WISE.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the allied forces of reform will
meet in convention in this city to
select county candidates for the COM
ing election, and it behoves US all to
see that none but good men are chosen:
men who are competent, faithful and
above reproach. The friends of the
various candidates, naturally, are
canvassing the situation in favor Of
those they desire to see successful, and
to these We wish to say word.
In urging the nosrination you desire
to see made, do not attempt to pun
down someone else, but confine your
attention entirely to urging the super
ior fitness of your selection. Do not
in any way attempt or countenance
combinations, do not speak i'll of any
one, for It's human nature to tell tales
and the tale bearer is fomenter of
discord. Harmony is essential and
without it the best men we can name
may easily dedicated. 1t is mistake
to assume that nomination is the
only thing to aim at-keep in view the
fact that there is an election to follow,
and if in securing the nomination of
your friend you at the same time injure
someone else, you yourself may have
caused his defeat at the polls.
1t is also a common occurrence to
hear someone say that if so and so is
nominated, they will not vote for him.
This should also be discouraged, as
no one person should take it upon
himself to dictate to the convention
in this manner. What we all desire is
the success of the reform party, and it
does not matter to the most of US who
fills the offices, SO they are good men
and represent our principles. Let us
get together in our primaries and
select good representative men as dele
gates to the county convention, with
out any reference as to who their
choice will be when it comes to naming
candidates. Let the county convention
do it's work in such manner that we
can all feel that the candidates select
ed have been chosen by the will of the
people, then We can all join heartily
in carrying them to victory. Let our
watch cry be, Good principles, good
men to carry them out and good will
to alp and success will be ours.

CHICAGO LETTER.
Dear Graphic:

Dear Graphic:
Since my last letter have
Travelled good deal and it seems to
me that the narration of that which
have seen might prove interesting to
your readers. But l wish first to COZ =
gratulate you on the reports which l
have received of the wheat harvest in
Edwards county. 1t does me good to
know that there is some we'll deserved
prosperity in Kansas.
In the early part of July 1 was in
Kansas City and expected to spend
the fourth in Belpre, but a trip which
1 took to Excelsior Springs, Mo-, de-
layed me so that 1 missed my train
over the Snnta Fe. 1 saw Mr.. Laird
however and had a very nice visit
with him about Kansas and the crops.
Excelsior Springs, Mo. is a very in
vitiDg health and pleasure resort. The
principal hotel is a mammoth concern
and the mineral bathing pool is de-
lightful place to take a swim. The
scenery of the surrounding country is
picturesque and think the mineral
water is beneficial although not pleas
ant to the palate.
On July Goth my only brother Lynn
was married to a young woman OF
Chicago. There was a church wed
ding, beautiful gifts and a lot of hap
py people present to wish them Joy
My mother came from Virginia te
witness the event. I make menti on O
this as some of your readers met tn,
young fellow and liked him.
About two weeks ago my mother
and my family took the steamer Vir'
ginia, for Milwaukee, Wis. We had
a pleasant day and there were foul
boats racing for the championship o
the lake. 1t was quite exciting ant
one of the boats burst a steam pip
and had to drop out. We spent SOM
time looking about Milwaukee an,
there were English coaches drawn b.
four horses which took passengers t.
all places Of interest for SOC each.
also made oce trip to Alton, III
