Some of his New York friends tel
this story of Walter Page while he was
editor of the Forum before the othce
was moved from Fifth Avenue to Union
Square. About twilight one afternoon
he was looking from his desk out on the
Avenue, when he suddenly remarked:
Il have seen this place years ago, with
myself right here as editor; it had been
my dream from childhood to be an editor
of magazine, and in the dream, saw
the rooms, the engravings on the wall,
tho annointments, and heard the pass
ing below. This was the room; these
were the engravings; there is the pass
ing under the window on the Avenue;
it is all here just as it came in my dream
long ago." Stranger things have hap
pened. At any rate, his dream of editor
has amply been realized as one may
easily be called at the top of the profess
sion in the chair from which issues the
Atlantic Monthly.

Some OF our Republican con-
temporaries are beginning to talk
about prosperity, and say that it
is beginning with the farmer,
Why this change of front? 1t has
been with them on all corners, eff
you protect the manufacturers and
they open their concerns the de-
mand for the farm products will
be such that general prosperity
will PREVAIL" but now they turn
right about and preach Democrat
ic doctrine, that prosperity begins
with the farmer and ascends the
scale until every branch of bust
ness is permeated. The signs of
the times are fattering they claim
because farming products are adj
vancing. 1t has not yet appeared
to these would-be financial people
that the price of wheat they talk
of is in the hands of spectators,
the farmer having received price
for it less than the cost of produc-
ton. Yes, there is prosperity,
but who are the prosperous, the
producer? A half fool realizes
that the farmer is the worse off.
His wheat has been marketed at a
losing price and now if he wants
wheat to SOW he must get it from
the Spectator at big price, or il
he buys his -four the same increas.
ed price he meets with. The
same Republican theory confronts
the poor man, it is his fate to buy
at high price and sell at low
one.

Of peace, when his natural in
stincts are held in check by this
southern civilization which he
fears may seriously affect the
character of the federal govern
ment. Mckinley ought by all
means to commission this aching
patriot as paramount commits
sioner to inspect the dangerous
and deadly southern civilization,
with full power to save the federal
government before it is everlast-
ingly too late. A trip south
would be Of great benefit TO him.
Where the blue and the gray
once lay dead upon the furrowed
and torn fields of battle he would
find nothing more dangerous than
negro and mule, and the negro
would be too poor to rob and the
mule too cheap to steal. Where
blackened chiinneyys once stood,
and defenseless women and chill
dren suffered, he would find smil-
ing and homes, with shotguns and
bull dogs between him and the
smoke-house, or the chicken
roost. Where sacked villages,
and towns, and beleaguredz cities
once were he would find institu-
tons of learning, churches land
all the social paraphernalia of a
high state of civilization, with
sheriffs and policemen between
him and the horses, cattle, silver
ware and other valuables which
were in rebellion against the gov
ernment in the days when camp
followers subJugated then SO sue
cessfully. He. would find proper
ty owners at home and ropes for
horse thieves. The jails which
were closed are now open for the
accommodation of guests, and the
penientiaries furnish hospitable
homes for many who came among
us as missionaries to improve the
native heather.
None of these good things
would be denied him. We are a
hospitable people, and we have
found many stranger and taken
him in.
By all means let the editor of
journal of civilization come and see

HON. T. W. HIcKox DEAD.

Hon. +. w. Hickox died last Frida
morning at 6 O'Clock. at the residena
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. Taliferro, tire
miles east of this city. La Grippe an,
old age were the causes OF death. Tn
remains were sent to Lamonte, Mis-
souri,, on Saturday for interment, wher,
his wife was buried about nine year,
ago.
Frank w. Hickox was born at Boons
vile, Missouri. July ID, 1918, and was
consequently IS years. months and q
days old at the time of his death.
MI. Hickox was brought up in Pettis
county, Missouri. where he married.
He was always regarded as one of the
leading public men of his county and
served two terms in the Missouri house
| or representatives and one term in the
state senate. In his young days he
| was unusually strong in debate and
even in his old days he was more than
an equal to the ordinary debater. The
graveyard which now contains the re-
| mains of himself and wife is located on
his old homestead in Pettls county near
| BOOnSville.
He removed to this county in the
year 1885 and has been an enterprising
| citizen among US ever since. In 1888
| his wife made a visit to the old Mis-
souri, home and while absent took sick
and died. After this time Uncle Frank.
as he was favorably known, made his
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Taliferro
until the time of his death
AS his public record in Missouri,
would show, Mr.. Hickox was active In
politics and when the reform wave
struck Kansas in 1890 he was one OF its
leaders and in the fall of that year was
nominated and elected on the Peoples
party ticket to the responsible position
Of representative of his district. Al
though he had passed his SEVENTEEN
year he was active, shrewd and aggres-
sive and in the legislative session of
1891 he distinguished himself as one of
the leaders on the floor of the House.
After the session closed he returned
home and retired TO private life. al
though still continuing to attend pri-
maries and conventions. He was a
man of great ability and a warm heart.
His popularity in Kansas and Missouri
was equal to that of most men of his
age and his friends will deeply mourn
his death. But his life was not spent
in vain and it is great deal of comfort
and satisfaction to his friends to know
that in his declining years he was ever
devoted to the cause of humanity and
time and again has raised his voice
In public and private in behalf of his
downtrodden countrymen. He leaves
no children to survive him but there
are those who took last sad look at
his noble face who were as much en-
deared to him as a son or daughter.
and who will ever keep his memory
sacred until Father Time shall have
decreed that their earthly habitancy
shall be no more.
Yes, Uncle Frank is dead. His cor
dial greeting, his good cheer and en-
couraglng words are gone from us for
ever but his example will be of benefit
to those who still suryive. Let us all
strive to emulate the good examples he
has left with us, 30 that when we put
on the robes of Immortality it may be
said OF US, as of him, that the world has
been benefited by our having lived in it.
