A Happy Family.


The editors of the republican papers
of this county are getting quite com
Plimentary to each other. This is the
way EdIter O'Bleniss writes of Editor
Cooke:
."John Wesley Augustus Cooke. bet
ter and more appropriately known as
''Pabst Dummy" who pretends to edit
newspaper over at Ellinwood."
Then Editor Townsley calls att en-
ton to Editor Hoisington's troubles as
follows:
"After rs years of the closest friend
ship, two "old time republicans" il
town have become bitter enemies, and
the courts will be appealed to to settle
their troubles. The use of such words
as ''liar, thief and traitor" proclaimed
by the Register, is language that even
''old time republicans" can under
stand"
Even the Irregular correspond nj
from Great Bend to the Claflin Clarion
gives Editor Townsley some advice in
the following very suggestive para.
graph:
"We would advise you though, to
stay away from Clafin. Judge, for il
the ladies noticed those crescsnts, roll.
ing up the str eet, it's hard to imagine
what you would be taken for.'

FROM a letter published in the
Register of last week we learn
that our cratic and vascillating
friend of upper Homestead, w.
w. Sowards, is somewhat of a
bloodthirsty cuss himself. He
says that "the people on those
islands (the Phillipines) are not
a factor in the matter He
would have them all killed Off or
driven into the sea like SO many
wild animals if they stand in the
way of the avaracious mercen-
aries who want those islands as
a mere matter of "business. y
He forgets the principles on
which his government was foun-
ded, forgets the trials and priva-
tions of our forefathers when
they sought to free themselves
from oppression; or else he does
not consider the Fillipinos as
human beings. And, strange to
say, there are preachers in this
town who will endorse all the
Col. says, and will say this is a
just war, war in the cause of
humanity and christianity. Truly
there be bloodthirsty individuals
running loose right in our midst.

THE man of average intelli-
gence becomes disgusted with
the political methods of the av-
erage republican paper. No at
attempt is made at arguing any
question of national import
through their columns. No
charge that this paper has ever
made against any of the policies
of their party, as laid down in
their platforms, has ever been
answered, no challenge to debate
accepted, by the republican
papers of Barton county. They
fill their editorial columns with
cowardly abuse of all men who
do not bow thesupplient knee to

mistakes will happen in the best
as well. Through misunderstanding
the Eureka township joint caucus of
democrats and populists was called in
one paper Sept. 3Oth, and In another
paper for Oct. 7th in one place and
Oct. I'd in another. The error has
been Strengthened out, now, and the
democrats and popuI1sts of that town
ship will take notice that the caucus
will be held Monday evening, Oct. I'd,
at No. 45 school house

POLITICAL "knOckers, those
fellows who loom up at every
campaign as extreme partizans;
men who never look into politics
deeper than to scan the label,
and who succeed in convincing
no one by their one-sided CAB,
are industriously misrepresent-
ing the sentiments expressed by
the democrats and populists.
One of this "genus useless was
telling on the streets the other
day what terrible things the
DEMOCRAT had been saying; how
awfully awful it was that such a
paper should be permitted publ
cation. A friend of the DEMO
GRAFT who knew the knocker and
his failing, asked if he really read
those things in the DEMOCRAT,
when the pin-headed wind-bag
admitted he had not-it had
been told him.. Hope he will bor-
row this copy of the DEMOCRAT
and learn from this item that we
care no more for what he thinks
or says of the DEMOCRAT than
we care for the opinion or mouth
ings of a London dude. Along
with grasshoppers, hot winds
and chinch bugs the people OF
Barton county must occasionally
be afflicted with that particular
class of republican would-be pol
IiticianS.

the powers that be; they think
up all the mean things they can
say; call names, assert what they
know and what those of their
readers who are broad minded
enough to know are falsehoods,
and attempt to impress upon
the public the idea that their
party-the republican party
can do no wrong. They incess-
emily cry out "Long live the
King, Mckinley the King can
do no wrong" and would teach
the rest of the people to worship
their Joss and ask no questions.
Note the squibs of ridicule, the
attempts at course, ignorant wit
in their columns, and even
though you may be a republican
you will know in your inmOst
soul that what we say of the re-
publican papers is the gospel
truth.
FARMS are places for raising
crops, not only crops Of grain,
but crops of men and women.
From the farmers boys and girls
come not only the physical
health and strength, but also
many, aye most of the brightest
minds in the various walks of
life. Farmers boys and girls
have ample opportunity for the
education and development of
their mental faculties. Good
schools are abundant and easily
accessible. The high schools in
the smaller cities are now nearly
or quite as good as were many
of the colleges fifty years ago,
while state normal schools, agri-

the present day.-Farmers Ad-

divorced women are hardly in my line
No, there was no excuse for her, and il
was only my luck. You fell in love with
the right woman, and fell in love with
the wrong one-that's ALL"
A woman came down the corridor as
he spoke the last words, tall, elegant
woman, in a modish gown, whose gleam-
ing folds clung closely to her slender
figure. A boy of eight or nine years
held her by the hand, and both looked
out on the world with the same eyes,
great, beautiful, gray eyes, at once
proud and sad.
As the woman's eyes met Frink's they
dilated suddenly, and he started with
sharp pain at his heart that caught
his breath.
How had she come there just then
the very woman of whom he had been
talking? AS he started up Teller
glanced around and then rose also with
happy smile.
''Ah, Lucille" he cried, 81 have met
an old friend, Ned Frink. He must be
your friend, also. Ned, this is my wife,
The joyous pride in his friends voice
made Frink vince inwardly as he bowed
tremendously.
''Pm very glad to meet Mr.. Frink.' 80
she said, calmly. How well he knew her
voice.
You'll dine with us, 1 hope, Ned"
called Teller, over his shoulder, as he
started on with the boy.
"Thank you, no. / leave for Denver
in half an hour" replied Frink.
Then sudden surge in the crowd
brought some one between them for a
moment, and the woman turned to him,
abruptly.
The pitiful appeal in her eyes went
straight to Frink's heart, and he felt
his own eyes grow dim with tears.
He does not know" she said, simply.
"He never SHALL" cried Frink.--Chi-
cago Herald.

through college and graduated with
first honors.
This was his intellectual side as a
young man. But there was another side
to his character that made him an in
teresting study to his classmates. No
more awkward and bashful boy ever
came to Yale than Arthur Twining
Hadley. He was homely beyond most
boys, bashful as girl and possessed
OF manner that made him almost RI
diculous.
He graduated as the infant prod
ICY" of his day at Yale, and he has kept
up this record since graduation. He
graduated in 1876, and in less than ten
years he wrote a book entitled Rail
road Transportation" that six months
after its publication was quoted in the
English house of commons as ''the best
book on the subject of railroads"
But it has been since graduation that
Prof. Hadley has surprised his friends
most. None of his classmates ever
dreamed of his being president of Yale,
and much less that this awkward prod
ICY would some day be polished after
dinner speaker.
In all of these varied interests Prot
Hadley has surprised his friends by his
success. His most recent work is book
on economics, which has received most
favorable comment as a textbook
Ever since graduation he has been a
prolific writer on economic subjects
and many of his papers have been trans
lated by the French and Germans.
Prof. Hadley's friends will not be sur.
prised if he makes some mistakes as
president of Yale, but upon his youth
they rely for him to correct these mis-
takes as he grows older. He will un-
doubtedIy have a difficult task and one
that few men would care to undertake
Upon him will devolve the responsible
ity of reconstructing and building up
the curriculum of Yale.
His whole life has been spent close to
the university. He began his service
for Yale as soon as he graduated, and
has never left the university.
1t is expected that Prof. Hadley's
election to the presidency will
strengthen Yale in many ways. In the
first place, it is believed that he will
be able to secure funds for the univer-
sity. He has large acquaintance and
his popularity will assist him in this
work. 1t is stated that if an older man
had been elected many of the friends of
the university would have refused to
contribute to the bicentennial fund.
The II presidents who preceded Prof
Hadley and the terms of their admon-
istration are as follows: Abraham
Pierson, 17O1-17O7; Samuel Andrew,
1707-1719, president pro tenn; Timothy
Cutler, 1719-1722; Elisha Williams. 1926
1889; Thomas Clap, 174O-1766; Naph1ali
Daggett, 1766-1777, president rro tenn;
Ezra Stiles, 177s-1795; Timothy Dwight,
1795-1s17; Jeremiah Day, 1s17-1s46;
Theodore Dwight Woolsey, 1s46-1s71;

Its not pleasant" said the other
man, knocking the ashes from his cigar
with nervous fingers. 1T all happened
the year left college. L met girl in
Denver. She was beautiful and clever,
and you're right about my being senti-
mental. Teller, L fancied because her

in heaven that she must be an angel.
She was poor, too. Her father was a
drunken, good-for-nothing fellow, and
she was very unhappy, and pitied her.
All, L was very far gone, indeed. We
were going to be married when had
made money enough, and meantime L
was happy as-well, as happy as fool.
And one day as we were walking down
the street together we met man, a low
fellow, with dyed mustache. knew
him. He was shoestring gambler who
came down sometimes from the mining
camps, and as vile cur as ever breathed.
To my amazement, he stopped and
spoke to me. What are you doing with
my wife?' he asked, angrily. l sup
posed he'd been drinking, and vas
about to brush him aside, when | hap
pened to look at her, and what L saw told
me all. She was covering before that
beast, with every vestige of color gone
from her face and her eyes fastened
on his with such a look that i'll a flash
L knew that her fear of him was no new
thing with her.
"'Great goodness, Lucy 1 cried, tell
me this isn't true But she only gave
little moan, and SO l turned away and
left them there. l never saw her
again"
There was moments pause. The
orchestra, from its perch on the landing
of the marble stairway, was playing an
air from La Boheme," repeating the
refrain over and over again with pas
sionate insistence.
Isn't it possible there was some mis-
take?" asked Teller at last, a little awk
wardly.
NO" said Frink, in a hard voice.
Her father came to see me afterward.
She was getting a divorce quietly, he
told me, and they had agreed to keep
me in ignorance of the whole affair. OF
course, the blackguard threatened to
shoot me if l didn't marry his daugh
ter, but when he saw | was not afraid
of him he let me alone. They came east
after that, L believe"
Perhaps she wasn't as much to
blame as he,' observed Teller, thought
fully.
'Perhaps-she was very young. But
such training in deceit doesn't turn out
the women who make good wives, and
