BOARD OF CHARITIES.

We are informed that Mr.. A.
Gibson, of this county is candida
tie for a place on the state board OF
charities. Well, why should lie not
have the place? From party stand
point, he is the best all around pol
itician in the county.
For twenty-five years he has work
ed for the Republican ticket in this
county. His work is not just spas
modic effort few days before elect
ion but he works for the cause the
year around.
He is al Jays Republican of the
working kind. He Yields more pol
itical influence in county politics
than any two men in it. He is in
every way qualified for the place.
He is a moral man, strictly tenn
perate and an old soldier.
The Republicans of Neosho coun-
ty are at his back and indorse him
for any place he might want.
Gov. Stanley may'search the state
and he will not find man nearer up
to his high standard of qualifications
than Alf Gibson.

NO WONDER THEY FAILED

From the New York Mail and Express:
Here is an unique pronunciation
test which was tried at a teachers in
stitute meeting in Boston recently
A standard dictionary was offered to
any teacher who could pronounce
correctly every word in the accompa-
nying paragraph. No one won the
book, for the contestant who came
nearest to the prize mispronounced
twelve words. Here is the compost
ion:
"a sacrilegious son of Belial, who
suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order TO make
good the deficit resolved to ally him

HIGH SCHOOL.

We heard some time back little
talk about high school building
for Chanute. The talk on schools
seems to have been crowded out by
the more exciting talk on the lines
of gas, city hall and the like. y
Among all other interests, let US
not forget that Chanute must have
a High school building before school
opens up next year. We have a
hundred and twenty pupils in our
high school room now, with a large
class to be promoted into it another
year and but a small class to 60 out.
In the natural order of things we will
have from hundred and forty to
fifty pupils in the High school next
year, which number it is absolutely
impossible to accommodate in the
present room, besides we are now
renting a primary room that is in
conveniently located and very un-
satisfactory to the patrons.
The only way out of the dilemma
is to build.
Don't forget we must have High
school.

What has become of the PROPOSE
ton for the city of Chanute 10 bore
for gas2 The way the matter boom
ed up while, we supposed we would
be burning city gas before this time.
Why not the city own a good gas
we'll or two. The indications are
that gas is abundant in our immed-
late vicinity and could be struck
without much trouble and at very
triAing cost compared with the great
benefits that might be derived by
the city owning good gas plant.
Think of the great saving that could
be made to the individual consumer!
If the city owned good gas well,
every citizen could have all the gas
he might want at one-half the pres
ent cost and then the city derive
enough revenue from it to pay all
city expenses. We would be in
shape to say to any manufacturing
enterprise that might want to locate,
"here is your fuel free as water;
come in and locate and give en-
ployment to our laboring men," We
have worked this railroad and divis-
ion point racket for about all it is
worth. We have pretty near got
our growth as far as it is concerned.
We must have something to employ
labor or stop growing. Did you
ever notice the large beds of shale
near town. Just what the brick
men want Why not have the lar
gest brick yard in the state and give
employment to scores of men? The
little jim crack towns all around us
that we have been ignoring for years
are getting in big smelters and other
interests and employing hundreds of
men that the country around has to
feed, and simply walking right away
from us. A few hundred more lab
orlng men with steady work and
good wages in this town would ad
S. 90 an acre to the value of all
farm land for ten miles around.
The farmer could find a ready sale
for all his produce at advanced price
and would bring it to Chanute and
do his trading here. Then let us
have a smelter. But the first thing
is to get the gas. Get the gas and
the other things follow without an
effort. Why not get to hustling?
Where is our board of trade, what
are they doing? What are we all
doing? Why not go to work and do
it?

age to shipping is beyond estimate
and the loss of lives is fearful.
The large vessel, City of Portland

wrecks also, with many lives lost
1t was simply one series of storm:
after another about all last week.
The Eastern states also suffered
severely from a BLIZZARD, in which a

The Blade in last weeks issue
tackled our former statement on the
nail question, wherein we sought to
show that the tariff placed on wire
nails by the Mckinley tariff act in
stead of increasing the price of nails
had, in a very short time cheapened
them to the American consumer.
We will repeat: When the McKin-
ley act became law, wire nails
were selling in this country at about
6 cents per pound, all imported.
Soon after it took effect wire nails
began to get cheaper, from the CON-
petition among large nail mills that
had sprung up in this country, pro-
tected by the Mckinley law. The
natural competition among our own
factories stimulated inventive genius
to put forth its best efforts and the
results were we developed such su-
perior nail machines that nails could
be made and sold about as cheap as
the plain wire, and are today. With
our superior machinery and improv-
ed methods we have been enabled
in the article of nails to overcome
the difference in wages in this coun-
try and the old world and are enab-
led to compete with the world on
this article, only because wise tar
iff law gave capitalists assurance of
protection in their home market till
they could make the business self
sustaining. Now, since our nail
mills are on their feet and can com
pete with the world, the duty on
nails makes no particular difference
either way. 1t does no one any
harm and can do no particular
good. 1t has done its work and it
is we'll. The assumption in the
Blade article that it enables the nail
trust to keep up the price of nails
here and get more for them at home
than they are sold tor in other coun-
tries is pure assumption and is not
true. Nails are sold by the factor
les in this country at such prices
that no foreign mill can compete
with them. A few years ago they
were sold for less than the smooth
wire from which they were made,
was worth on the market. But that
was ruinous competition among our
own mills. Foreign demand has
worked off the surplus, till they are
now about at nominal price. The
farmers of this country about whom
the Blade is so solicitous are not
complaining about the price of wire
nails they know they are getting
them for one half what they would
had they not been put on the pro-
tected list, and their votes this fall
showed that they are approaching
very much what protective laws have
lone and are doing for them. Oh,
40, Bro. Roe, you had better take

CITY HALL.

The city Council at its meeting
last Monday night took up the mat
ter of securing city hall. Jail. etc.
1t seems to be necessity that the
city make some arrangements about
Jail before long, and it is absolute
ly necessary that we have some place
for the fire department for storing
the apparatus and taking care oft,
and likewise place for headquarters
for the boys.
We have the foundation laid for
a good fire company if We will just
give the boys little encouragement,
by giving them a deacent place to
meet and reasonable room in
which to store their traps.
1t seems the committee appointed
some time ago to look up a place
reported on the Music Hall block
as the most available site. On in
vestigation it has been found that
block can be bought of the M. E.
church for S., 900 on such terms
that the city can easily handle it
without voting bonds. 1t is already
built and ready for occupancy with
but little expense and will be source
of income from the start. This is
not our ideal of a city hall, but may
be the best that can be done at pres
emit. At the price and terms at
which it is offered the city surely
could never lose anything on the
investment.
If the town builds up it will be-
come more valuable and could be
sold at any time at profit. If the
town does not build any more but
simply holds its own it is as cheap
as anything offered and is ready for
immediate occupancy.
The council should do something
in this matter without further delay,
if this is the best thing offered, take
it and be done.
