1t was with difficulty that a way was
cleared by which Miss Rose and Mrs.
c. K. Holiday Jr., who acted as chap
eron, were enabled to reach the hotel
The air rang with cheers and hand
the lines of people.
The reception was such as any one
might be proud of and Miss Rose bore
herself through it all with womanly
grace.
President Charles K. Holiday of the
KarniVal Knights arrived on an early
members of the party as they arrived.
After Miss Rose had reached the hotel
the people swarmed around her eX-
pressing words of welcome and good
cheer.
Ever since we reached Ration. N. NJ,
almost every station has had its crowd
to welcome me-" said the Rose of HilO,
"and 7 have been almost overwhelmed
with kindness. At most places the
schools were dismissed and the children
came with their parents to see me. And
the sight of these bright faced school
children has been to me one of the most
enjoyable incidents of my trip"
At Coolidge, Kan, the schools were
dismissed and the scholars met the
train bearing Miss Rose and the train
was held long enough to enable the lit
tie folks to touch the hand of the
queen.
At Lakin the school children were at
the train accompanied by nearly all the
ladies in the village and there was an
other informal reception.
At p. m. the train reached Dodge
City and the depot platform was
in the darkness to catch a glimpse of
the young queen.

HAVE I'm HERE ALwAYs.
Secretary Of Kansas Veteran volun-
teer Association Wants Topeka
Reunion Made Permanent.

''I think it would be a good idea to
have the reunion a fixed thing at To-
pelxa hereafter said S. A. Houston, of
Lawrence, secretary of the Kansas Vet
eran Volunteer association. There
isn't better place in the
state to hold it than this
park, and it ought to become a perma-
merit institution here. All the boys are
so well pleased with this place that
believe they would be glad to keep it
here every year. There is plenty of good
shade and good water, which are the
two important things about a camp.
Out here in these trees we can enjoy
real camp life.
If Lincoln post and the other G. A
r. posts of the city would take the
matter up and begin to work it among
the posts over the state, and if a dele
cation of influential business men
would present the matter to the en-
campment next March I feel sure that
the reunion would be permanently loca-
ted here. Then a few small improve
ments could be made and we would
have a perfect camp"

MY HONOLULU LADY.
It is the Tune That Makes It Go, Not
the Words

The words of My Honolulu Lady,
are like all those to be found in the ne
gro melodies that are now such a fad
They are coarse, it is true, but the
words of "A Hot Time In the Old Town
Tonight are also coarse. It is not the
words that make the success of a popular
song, but the music. Nobody cares
what the words are. MY Honolulu
Lady has a most pleasing air It was
made the popular welcoming tune for
Miss Rose in California and it will be
the Carnival tune" at Topeka as "a
Hot Time" was last year. 1t will he
played at Omaha when Miss Rose goes
there and she will no doubt become as
much accustomed to it as General Sher-
man was to Marching Through Geor-
gia.'' There is nothing the American
people enjoy like fad and My Homo
lulu Lady, is the fad.

Miss Rose was simply deluged with
flowers presented by individuals and
societies. She never fails to graceful
ly acknowledge any tokens or IaNOrS
and her sweet and charming manner
has won for her a host of friends
wherever she has stopped, if 1t be only
for five minutes. Miss Rose IS very
fond of children and they claim her at
tentiOn first.
AT LaJunta, Ration and Albuquerque
great crowds were in waiting to see To-
den City the schools had been dismissed
to allow the children to see Miss Rose
At each place the train was delayed in
order that as many as possible could
shake hands with the belle from the
rainbow islands,
At Dodge City where Miss Rose took
supper the crowd numbered at least g.
600 people and cheer after cheer was
given as Miss Rose appeared on the
platform of her car. At KinSley mann
moth bunch of sunflOwers was present
ed by Mrs. James NJ. Lewis Jr., on be-
half of the citizens of Kinsley. we
welcome you to sunny Kansas and wish
you a pleasant journey"
In responding Miss Rose said: I
thank the good people of Kansas for all
kindness that has been shown me. On
behalf of the Hawaiian Islands l wish
to thank you for the compliment to our
people in showing your friendly feeling
for the new possessions of the United
States" Miss Rose and party left for
Topeka at 10:45 over the Santa Fe.
There was a large crowd at Florence.

William Gourley of Paterson, as chair
man of the convention This choice
was ratified by the convention and
Chairman Price introduced Mr.. Gourley
to the delegates. Mr.. Gourley spoke as
follows:
am proudly thankful for this dis
tinguished honor. I shall ever be mind
full to hold this post as the servant of
the convention.
For the first time in generation we
meet for consultation in high council of
the party under a chief executive of
the state, who is not a Democrat. The
business depression of 1898 turned the
political tide against Democracy, ac-
cording to the long settled rule of poll
tics that the party in power in the ma
ton is held responsible by the people
for the maintenance of business at its
normal standard. The Republican par
ty in this state in 1895 was the bene-
ficiary under this law and was swept
into power. A Republican governor
was c. oSen. That party found every
department of the state government
challenging investigation. With swell
ling trumpet blasts the Republican par
ty promised on its assumption of power
a new model of state government.
1.-THE roseate pledges of the last CUB
ernatOrial campaign concerning legiS-
Iatfon are still unfulfIled.
'I ask has the state seen in all it's
history such absolute domination of
legislation as has been witnessed during
the last three years by the Republican
state committee. It would seem as if
the legislature were created to record
their decease. Corporate power has
fastened itself upon the state. With
the state committee it dominates the
legislature. It's shadow has fallen
across the gubernatorial chair. It's in
f1uence under the fostering care of Re
publican officials has grown to be a
menace. 1t has set aside every advance
made toward equal taxation. We re-
cord our voice for equal taxation. This
has ever been the policy of the Demo-
CRATIC nartX.''
