Customs Stronger Than Laws


Efforts 10 change the customs of

bear on Legislature to secure the
passage of bills which seem to be

any statute that does not comport

benefit. Much as professional re-
formers may contest this statement
the experience of the world has
shown it 90 be truism. If the
Federal court had not annulled
the cigarette law, passed by the
late Legislature, the people would

contempt for same. The law

Where Friendship Ceases.

havc incurred the displeasure of
Its erstwhIle esteemed friend, Hon.
James Hasley. The offense lay in
the notice of Hon. ?. ID. McCul-
loch's candidacy, which appeared
In last weeks paper. At least we
presume SO. Mr.. Hasley has not
informed us of the cause or extent
of his displeasure, further than to
withdraw his order for the publ
cation of the Southern State
Guard from this Office, the copy
for which was in the hands of our
printers.
The Times %feels that it has
treated Mr.. Hasley fairly and hon.
orably. In . conversation with
him several weeks ago we gave
him to understand that we thought
his candidacy futile and that he
had entered the race too late to
win, even If other chances were
equal. which the situation does not
warrant US in believing.
We defended him against certain
sarcastic thrusts of other news
papers, and accorded him respect.
We have never tried 10 deceive
him as TO his chances of success,
and have never thought for a mo-
ment that he could win in this
race.
We supported him once for con-
gress, and again for the legislature,
IN both of which aspirations he
was unsuccessful. We sincerely
believe he has no considerable foI-
lowing III this county. If so, we
have never heard of it, except
from himself. Mir. Hasley thinks
The Times should have espoused
his cause in this race. We did not
think so, for reasons set forth
above and others, and we still
think our course toward him has
been fair and right.
We are of course sorry TO lose
his friendship, because we have
esteemed HIM highly; and we can
Ill afford to lose his patronage, but
if patronage depends upon subser
viency, then we ask TO be excused
and gladly relinquish II to others.
This is "where friendship ceases"
We earn the money paid us for
printing, and our opinions are not
for sale.
We have made no war upon him
and will not. We have treated
him with great respect. But if
complimentary notice to his OPP
ponent is cause for his displeasure.
then we are guilty and accept the
situation serenely.
We are not espousing the cause
of Mr.. McCulloch, but as his
friend, he being absent and by rea-
son of his official duties, unable to
do so in person for himself, we
have simply referred the voters to
his announcement and record, and
asked for him that consid Grafton
which he certainly deserves. I'm.
der similar circumstances we would
have done as much for Mr.. Hasley.

"Woodruff for Berry,"

Reproducing and commenting on
the article from the Marion Re
form under the above title, which
was printed in every paper in the
district except the Videite. the
Augusta Free Press, an ardent
supporter of Mr.. Ferguson, prints
the following:
Immediately upon receipt of the
Crittenden county paper contain
ing the above we sought out
Messrs. Patterson and Ferguson.
and showed it to them and asked
an expression of their opinions
thereon.
Mr.. Patterson stated that he did
not care 10 discuss the matter in
print at all, but added and author.
lied US TO say:
eff Mr.. Ferguson feels himself
aggrieved in the matter he can
meet me at my appointments in
this county; or, If he requires it. |
Will meet him at any points in the
district which will best answer his
convenience"
He further stated that any con-
versations which he might have
had upon this subject with Mr.. Nc.
Daniel were had previous to Mr..
Ferguson's candidacy, and when
he was looking over the field with
view to entering upon the sena.
torial race himself.
Dir. Ferguson said:
81 can only say 10 the above
that | am perfectly willing for ex-
Sheriff Patterson to have and TO
express any opinion he may hold
or entertain upon my candidacy
for senator, | hope he may prove
correct IN the belief that the
county will compliment me with
her vote, | rather expect the vote
of my county"
The Free Press then follows
with its opinion, which is. to the
effect that the article is compaign
trick. In view of the interview
printed above his remarks fall fat
and "it looks TO us" that there
was no trick about 1t. 1t was sim

Press was unable to disprove it OF
make capital of it. J he Vidette
which has heretofore been as close
as an oyster, and without inter

In view of Mr.. Patterson's state
ment the buster aud ignorance Of
the Vidette is pitiablc.
No well Informed person or fail
minded democrat believes thai
Crlttenden is responsible for Stan

had anything whatever to do will
it.
The populist party beat Stanley
and it is plainly Crittenden's time
to have the senator. For the sake

of honest politics, The Times hopes

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-08-14

One day last week the afternoon north
bound Rock Island freight had q consigr-
ment of four cars of watermeions from
OklahOm, billed 20 the east. The melons
were loaded in sealed stock cars and
separated from the world by the usual
scantlings only a few inches apart. The
fruit was piled up about half the heighth
OF the car and against the sides and ends
of the car All around the four sides and
up and down the several tiers all the
melons in reach were literally sliced and
hacked to pieces by tramps or boys or
some other vandais reaching in between
the stats and c ItfIng at them. This had
been done to all four cars, running all the
melons which rested against the sides.
OF course they could not haul out the
entire melon, but they could hack 1t with
pocketknives until the profit on those
cars must have been eaten into as well as
the melons.

FROM AN OLD SOLDIER.

The act of rescuing one of their COM
RAIDS by members of the Ninth cavalry
from the jail at Sawyer. Fla, and which
has raised such a breeze at that place
with the local authorities, who alege the
overriding of Florida, civil law, calls to
mind a similar instance. The company to
which the writer belonged to, en- route
from Wyoming to Leavenworth, passing
through Maysvlle, in this state, learned
through the wife of Colonel Bowen, who
resided in the town, that soldier of her
husbands regiment was in the county jail
for shooting and slightly wounding an
ex-captain of the regiment, who was COM
PEELED to resign on account of cowardice.
Mrs. Bowen told us if we would go to
the Jail and lberate the men she would
arrange to furnish him with a horse 10
ride to Fort Scott on his way to his
regiment that was located in Fort Smith,
Ark, and that she would also gather in
a lot of girls and give us a. dance and
supper. The lieutenant in command
learned Of the scheme of the company,
which had already been ordered 10 80
into camp on the tOwnsite, but 10 save
trouble he marched it six miles further
and placed an extra guard around the
camp. Before time for taps to be sound
ed it commenced raining, a harder rain
never fell in that county. Eight of the
boys, undaunted, stole from the camp a
pair of company mules, went to a farm
house near by, hired wagon and harness
and drove to the Maysville Jail, called up
the jailor, told him they wanted that
soldier liberated. He, of course, refused
IL - Irrf -,sl ~
keys to the Jail on his person. Two OF
the boys seized him and without much
of a struggle secured the keys, unlocked
the JAIL took tina fellow out, got him on
the horse, bid him good by and told him
to ride for his life; locked the Jail, re-
stored the keys to the sheriff; not allow
ing any other prisoner TO escape, not
withstanding their earnest pleadings.
They then went TO Mrs. Colonel Bowens
home. had their dance and supper, and
before daylight were back to their camp.
