SIMPSON IN TROUBLE.
Arouses the Ire of Veterans at Wichita
Judge Wood Scores Mckinley.

Wichita, Sept. 23-What threatened
to be a riot broke out among the vet
Grams attending the camp meeting and
reunion of the Southern Kansas Old
Soldiers association here Friday.
Jerry Simpson had been invited to
make a speech. Thursday Congress-
man Long made a strong imperialist
speech and while Jerry Simpson was
the opposite side of the issue, many of
the Republican old soldiers shouted
Kick him OUT Pull him down." etc.
They would not allow him to proceed,
and he replied warmly. A rush was
made for the speakers stand by the
friends and opponents of Imperialism,
and many old soldiers were lined up
on both sides shaking threatening fists
at each other. Simpson stood his
ground until his opposition had worn
themselves out and finally concluded
his speech in comparative peace.
The old soldiers are quite warm about
the matter. Some of them charge that
Simpsons speech was reasonable,
while others insist that the outbreak
had method to it and they might yet
be able to trace it to Republican poll
ticians.
Preceding Simpson, Judge ]. G. Wood
of Topeka spoke in denunciation of the
national administration on account of
its attitude toward old soldiers
Judge Wood came to the Wichita re-
union as the personal representative of
Department Commander o. H. Coulter,
VINO was unaDle TO De present. HIS ar
raignment of Commissioner Evans met
the hearty approval of the department
commander, he said, and it was for the
express purpose of arousing the old sol
diers at the reunion that he had been
sent to Wichita by him.
Judge Wood came to the Wichita re-
union to emphatically deny a statement
published in a circular, widely distrib-
uted recently among veterans, to the
effect that the course of the commits
siOner had been INDICATED by the ma
tiOnal encampment at Philadelphia. The
circular, he said, had been issued by
Commissioner Evans himself, and was
VIGOROUSLY false from beginning to end.
AS a member of the Kansas delegation
he could say that in every criticism it
had made against the commissioner it
had been upheld by the encampm emit
On the suggestion of General Dan
Sickles of New York the encampment
had decided to call President Mckinley
to account for the abuses rather than
aim its volley at a subordinate such as
Evans.
Judge Wood also asked the support of
the veterans to a movement being
started by the department officers to
secure a change in the state text book
on United States history. He declared
the official text book to be outra geOusly
unfair to the old soldiers, and asserted
that the matter would be brought sue
cessiveIy before the state teachers as
ISOLATION, the state encampment and
the legislature, and the fight would not
be discontinued until the book should
be discarded by the state.

Although the silver issue has been
pronounced dead many times and the
Republicans justly lay claim to have
been chiefly instrumental in its taking
of, there appears a notable tendency
on the part Of its slayers to attempt
to revive the corpse. Probably without
exception every state convention of the
party that has assembled this year has
passed resolutions against the free
coinage Of silver and in favor Of the
gold standard. It looks as though there
were a fixed determination on the part
Of the party leaders to force the old
fight into the next campaign.
