THE SOLDIERBOY'S FRIEND.
Governor Leedy Looks Out for Their Com
fort.

During the stormy weather, last week, Gov
ernor Leedy busted himself making the soldier
boys as comfortable as possible. The boys
needed blankets, and they needed hay for bed
ding. Wednesday was cold murky day, and
the Governor, learning that there were not blan-
kets enough, ordered 1900 from Kansas City,
and personally distributed them. He also went
out with loads of baled hay, and cut the wire
bands and helped carry the hay into camp.
He also bought lot of ove1coats and pet
sonally attended to their distribution.
Governor Leedy has made himself "solid"
with the soldier boys. He has proved to them
that he has big warm heart, and that his own
personal comfort is not to be thought of where
''his boys' are concerned. There are some
fool papers like the Kansas City Journal that
ascribe to him a selfish political motive, but
those who are acquaint ed with him know that
these kindly deeds were prompted by humane
tartan desire to see the boys comfortable.
The AGITATOR has not endorsed all that
Governor Leedy has done since his inauguration
as governor but he has exhibited strong back
bone, and has given evidence of the possession
of an unusual amount of common sense. His
actions in the present crisis have covered his
failings, III degree at least.

did not hince. Another shot tore away her

CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

Uoder the above heading, the Oathe Tribune
of last week contains the following editorial:
1t is an admitted fact that the Second congress
siona district is politically close. Neither par
ty has walk away, and we regret to say that,
in our Judgment, Mr.. Peters, our present MEM
Der, has far weakened rather than strengthened
the reform forces He had weak opponent in
90, and pulled through by a very small major
ity, running nearly 700 votes behind the ma
tona ticket In fact, it was not Peters strength
but Harris weakness, that enabled the reform
forces to pull him througN. His luke-warm-
ness in the peoples fight against the stock
yards gang and the further fact that he has been
almost a non-cntity i'll congress, would make
him even weaker candidate, should he be re-
nominated, than he two years ago. AS a
political campaIgner he is what might be call
ed i light weight. The campaign before us
will be one of the hottest fought political bat
ties that has ever occurred in this district. The
very ablest speaker and most aggressive cam
paisner Who can and will drive the into
the enemy's camp should be chosen to lead the
reform forces in the coming struggle. Mr.
Peters will not fill the bill, and we think he
has demonstrated that fact clearly to every in
teilgent voter in the district.
We like Mr.. Peters personally. He is
clever fellow but it is not simply clever man
that is needed, for were it so, we could point
a score of them in every township, many of
them as we'll qualified to be congressman as is
Mr.. Peters.
What we want is to win and to do this we
need political general who can meet the en-
eny in open field, and win fer the people
glorious victory in November.

MCKINLEY WORRIED.

Judging by present indications, Mckinley
and his Wall street friends will not be able to
force bonds OH the country. There is MAORI
ty in congress against the bond issue. This is
worrying Mckinley very much, and it is report
ed that he will retaliate by holding back or
abandoning some of the war plans already for
muaed. He claims that only by the sale of
bonds can he get money to carry on the war.
Mckinley knows very well that bonds are un-
necessary; tnat the issuing of greenbacks
would furnish all the money necessary; but that
would not give the bond sharks place to in
vest their money and draw interest from the
government Should Mckinley listen to these
sharks, and i'll any way embarass this govern4
ment, he will forever damn himself and his
party.
