The Democrats and Populists who
have been going wild over Lee and
comparing him with Mckinley much
to the latter's disadvantage will
doubtless be highly edited to find in
today's dispatches the news that Lee
entertains exactly McKinleys views
on the recognition Of the present
Cuban government and holds that it
should not be done. The fact is that
there is no Cuban government worthy
the name-did such an organization
exist it would have been "recognized''
long ago. One Of the foremost needs
Of the island is the establishment Of
an independent government that will
be creditable and will commend itself
to other countries. The endorsement
Of the presidents ideas by Lee who
comes direct from the island Is but
another evidence Of the wisdom with
which Mr.. Mckinley has conducted
matters.

Breeders association arrange to place
Kansas In the front rank as one OF the
great livestock States Of the union;
that the educators, colleges and
schools will take care that the educa-
tional interests OF the State are cred
itably represented.
"The commission will give all the
aid and information possible in rela-
ton to all matters pertaining to its
workings, and all possible assistance
will be given in the work Of collecting
specimens for exhibition, and aid, by
all proper means, stockmen to get
their stock in place, ireights, ETC.. as
far as the financial ability Of the or.
ganization will warrant.

Of the commission, but preferably
with the secretary, at Topeka, who
will give immediate attention to all
matters submitted to him"

A Defamation for q Boy.

The schools Of Dickinson county
are having their closing exercises and
it is always hard to find something
for the boys to "speak." Here Is a
defamation that we would like to
have one boy in each school recite.
We don't know who wrote it and
don't care. 1t is goodany way. 1t
should be delivered in full clear
tone with stong emphasis on the
words "iather" and mother" wher-
ever they occur. There is sure to be
plenty Of applause from the backseats
where the patrons" Of the school sit
during the exercises. But don't be
nervous, boys. You are on the right
trsck-go ahead and live up to what
you are saying:
ut does not take as much money
to live In the country, or In . small
town as 1t does to live In the city. l

to bring up q city boy and educate
him and dress him well. said to
myself, That is because everything
in the city has to be bought and liv-
is high But began to study the
thing, and ! found out that even a
country boy cost his parents a good
deal.
when you count what boy eats
and what he wears, and the school,
books he has to have, and the doctor
bills that have to be paid when be
gets the measles or the scarlet fever,
he will cost his folks ct least 500 a
year. Iguess il . boy is pretty bad
