Leedv and the Soldier Bows.

The republican press has much to
say Of patriotism, and Of loyalty to
the government, yet most of these
papers are full Of abuse of Governor
Leedy on account of his refusal to
call out the national guard in body.
The Osborne Farmer, one of the best
of it's class in this section, and edited
by one Of the dearest old boys in the
"profeSh," takes up the cry and pub
fishes several squibs of which the two
below are fair specimens:
"Leedy has won the eternal enmlty
of the National Guards of Kansas by
the arbitrary stand he has taken
against that organization. They have
no more respect for him than they
have for the trescherous Spanisrds"
"Leedy's idotic policy in recruiting
volunteers will result IN Kansas, the
great patriotic soldier state, getting a
few struggling companies ready for
service about the time the war is
over"
There are now al Topeka thirty-six
companies of soldiers with full or.
ganizstion awaiting enlistment, and
for these companies the government
has so far furnished equipment for
only one-third Of them, so you see,
Brother Farmer, that the 'idiotic
Leedy," is ready long before the ma
tional administration.
The governor of many of the other
states pursued different policy and
called out the national guard enmaSse;
let us see how this worked. In Iowa
over one,third of the men were sent
home after being taken to Des Moines
because they were not physically up
to the standard. They had the same
trouble over their organization that
we did IN Kansas, as pointer FROM
from the Sioux City Qa) Tribune
says:
eff the enlistment of men by the
United States is to break up the ma
tional guard, as suggested by the
officers of that organization in Hin
OILS and Iowa, undoubtedly the ma
tional guard will break up, because

The war is just now not very ex-
citing. Sampson with powerful
fleet is at Porto Rico, where he hoped
to meet a feet of Spanish war vessels
but it is now located at Csdiz, Spain,
some 1900 miles away. Meanwhile
an army is being organized to occupy
Cuba, and another the Philippine
islands. Rumor has it that Spain is
to send a powerful fleet to Manila in
hope of crushing Dewey. This move
is hardly possible owing to lack of
coal. 1t is intimated that Spain is
trying to get out of the row in some
way without any more battles. The
next week will be a decisive one.

feature of her work. 1t was Miss Willard

Miss Wizards attitude toward the press
Mr.. Clark recounted Miss Wizards early

After the choir sang Rock of Ages Mrs
May Wright Sewall spoke of Miss Willard
il was in the hymn just sung that she first
heard Miss Wizards voice. Miss Willard
came to realize the need of the ballot IN
order that greater legislation might be ac-
complished in the interest of the work of
temperance. which was so near her heart.
Mrs. Sewall gave an account OF a meeting
of the temperance union held in Washing
ton, when Miss Willard created sensation
by asking Miss Anthony to come to the
platform. The members earnest in the
work which each pursued thought that Miss
Anthony was about to embrace the lem
perance cause, or that Miss Willard was to
become a suffragist, but it was to show that
Miss Willard thought there was necessity
for suffrage in the cause of temperance.
Rev. DR.. Lasby spoke of Miss Willard as q
Christian and church member. He told
of her joining the Methodist Church when
a young woman. and read two letters which
were written by Miss Willard to a Sunday
school teacher who is now member of the
Central-avenue Church. Miss Willard was
one of the first women to sit in Methodist
convention, and she enjoyed the friendship
of the leading and women of the
church. Mrs. Northcott sang one of Miss
Wizards favorite hymns, Some Glad
Day." in which the choir and audience
joined. Mrs. McWhirter gave a brief per-
sonal tribute to the late ''uncrowned
queen" and there were several informal
tributes from members of the audience who
had known Miss Willard personally.
