WELLINGTON SUMNER COUNTY, KANSAS THURSDAY APRIL a. 1907
Chose to "Shut up."

The gentleman over on Pig alley
who edits an obscure sheet called the
Daily Mail with weekly appendage
Of largely gratuitous distribution, has
chosen that "better part"-to "shut
up rather than "put up" 1t will
be remembered by his limited con-
stituency in the city OF Wellington
that on the evening of the 9th, he
faunted in their faces under the head.
ing "Put Up or Shut Up" a PROPOSE
tion to put up 500 against a like
amount from US that the VOICE was
short on circulation. He was prompt
ly informed that whenever his money
was ready ours would be along to keep
it company, and heprOmised to attend
to it at once. Up to this time how
ever, he has failed to dOso, and seems
to have taken his own advice to "shut
up" His weekly readers are in
ignorance Of this bluff for he was
careful to omit the challenge from
his succeeding weekly issue. In
following his own advice he but
carries out a we'll settled policy OF
his own. Many time aud oft has
theVOICE crowded him into the corner
with the invariable result that he
"gums up" and has nothing more to
say. 1t is always easy to tell when
he is cOrnered-wben he is silent.
But as to circulation: The VOICE
never has claimed to have $500 cir
culatiOn. There is not a merchant
in this city who will not tell him
that our claim was on our average
circulation for the year 1896, which
included a 5000 edition for three
months. We have no desire to enter
a lying contest on circulation with
the Pig alley sheet. We would con-
feSs our inability to compete at the
outStart, We are at the present
time revising our entire subscription
list-pruning it down TO solid basis
and when we get through we expect
to fall short Of the 1000 number.
Business men know they have full
liberty to examine our press room and
feed board at any time; all the honor
OF the journalistic profession has not
suddenly broken out in the Pig alley
institutiOn-in fact it is doubtful if
1t has broken out at all there; if so
the change would be so sudden and
so great as to stifle its survival.
Business men show their confidence
in the VOICE by their patronage of
its columns. Notwithstanding the
gratuitous price of the Pig alley sheet
the VOICE still leads; shrewd adver-
tisers realize that they can reach the
Populist half Of the county by one
advertisement at one price in one
paper, while to reach the Republican
half they must divide their patronage
between two Republican papers and
pay two prices.

REMARKS ON MIR. ELLIOTT.
The Government Has n Very Poor Opinion or
Him rs o Seal Expert.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The State Department
to-day gave out the following statement:
"No reply has been made TO the letter on the
seal question which Mr.. Henry W. Elliott ad-
dressed recently to Judge Day and which Mr..
Elliott gave to the press. He is not now, nor
has he been for several years past, connected
with the Smithsonian Institution or any other
department of tho Government. In 1890 he
made a report on the seal islands as agent Of the
Treasury Department, but It was 80 full of mac
curate statements. betrayed such want Of scien-
tihc knowledge, was so hostile to the interests of
the United States and written in such n pre-
JUDGED spirit. that Secretary Blaine declined to
send it to Congress or to allow II to he printed.
From that date Mr.. Elicit ceased to have any
connection with the Government, and he has
lost no opportunity to attack every step taken
by it on the subject and TO abuse all persons
having any official relation 10 sealing matters.
when the case Of the United States was pre-
pared for the Paris arbitration Messrs. +. J.
Phelps and J. c. Carter. the Government coun-
sci. decided that the Elliott report should be ig-
nored and not included in the documents at

Tho Charities Commissioner In Brooklyn. a.

ties, take no stock whatever In the sensational
story Of ex-Convict William Williams who has
served over twenty years in prisons and reforma-
tory institutions, and has been an all.sround
crook and swindler.
Williams was released from the Crow Hill
prison on Saturday. and went, as he says,
directly to a secluded SPOT in Fordham. whero
he had buried q box containing %, 800 in foreign
coins and 81. 500 worth Of jewelry before his
imprisonment. Not finding them he concluded
that the box had been carried OF by John B.
Sullivan, ono of the keepers Of the peniten.

conhdentially communicated tho secret. His
next step was, as he represented, to
consult q lawyer with a view to the prosecution
Of Keeper Sullivan for grand larceny. Sullivan
has been q keeper in the prison for eight years
and has an excellent reputation, and none of
the officials places any credit in the ex-convtct's
statement.
