The governor makers are in
dustriously bringing out their
candidates for this important of
fceare and quoting ngsections Of the
constitution to show how Judge
Pollock is buried from becoming

understand the constitution
there is nothing in it which for
bids the judge resigning his
judicial position and becoming
a candidate if he wants to. Judge
Pollock seems to be haunting
some of the antis fearfully, but
they need not lay awake nights
lover it. He does not want to be
governor. If the republican
party Of North Dakota wants to
unite on q competent and quail
fed gentleman for governor a

s'Little Willie's, Birthday.

Not long ago we received an invi-
tation to a birthday party at Windsor,
Mo-, and from reading the following
account of the affair published by The
Windsor Times-Democrat of July %
we should think that we missed a
thoroughly good time:
Thirty nine years ago the 21st of July there
came into this world little son to brighten
and make glad the home of William F. Som
merfe1d and wife. In the course of time, this
child was christened William the junior and
with the tender care of loving mother and
careful father he grew to manhood. His sur
roundings were happy, he was favorite with
everyone in his earlier years and his parents
gave him every advantage to be bestowed up
on an only child. William, Jr in return
loved his father and mother and showed his
appreciation of their love by being dutiful
to their wishes. He received good educa-
ton and afterward entered upon railroad
life, and his close attention to business
earned for him the confidence and esteem of
his employers.
Years rolled by and he drifted southwark
from the beautiful lands of Wisconsin and
bordering states, and he landed in Imperial
Missouri with his father and did good work
for the Katy" people when they abuilt the
branch from Kansas City Junction westward.
He was afterward given charge of the station
at this place.
Being weak, puny. scrawny (he weighs 800
pounds and is giant in strength his name
was heralded everywhere as Little Willie"
He made friends from the first and also enc
miles, but the latter were created because he
did his duty unhesitatingly
A year ago he had birthday and gave
banquet and reception, an account of which
we published at the time. There was warm
time, but last Friday he was a year older, and
he thought to repeat the dose would do him and
his friends good. He and his wife began prep
arations day or so previous, and when
o'clock rolled around Friday night the 200 in
vited guests began to arrive at the old post
office building to partake of the luxuries of life.
The evening train from the north brought
about thirty-fve Sedalia friends, most of
whom were brother Elks.
When this jovial lot alighted upon the depot
platform they gave yell like this:
Hip, Hip, Hoorah!
What do we say
We came to celebrate
.Willie's Birthday.
Hip, Hip, Hurrah!
Who are we?
Elks from Sedalia.
Yes Sir, ee!

Washington Letter.
ON our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, August 4, 1899.-
Secretary Root is showing his good
sense by putting in all his time famil-
iarizlng himself with the workings of
the b ig business machine known
as the War department, leaving the
routine affairs Of the department in
the hands ofhis capable subordinates
until he gets all the information he
desires. Every day since he was
sworn In he has spent consulting
with the heads of the various bureaus
OF the department and he IS already
beginning to get hold of the numer-
Gus threads Of the departmental
system. The talk about probable
changes that he will make is idle at
this time. AS he put it, "better
wait until / know what is being done
before talking about changes"
| That the war with Spain was a
good thing for the United States is
conceded by most intelligent men.
but d. N. Demetriades, an educated
Greek who has been connected with
our consular service, at Constantine
ople, for more than rs years, and
who is now in Washington, saws it
was also the best thing for Europe
that has occurred in a long time. In
! explaining, he said: "The effects of
that war are more far-reachlng pro-
badly than the average American
dreams Of. 1t brought good to
Europe in this way: it proved beyond
doubt the potency of the great Ameri-
can republic and it showed to the
na'iOns that America had at last
taken up position AS great world
power. It's force hiterto had been
latent. Now along with this new
conception ofthe Washington govern
ment came realization that hence
forth and forever the English speak
ing races would assume the dominant
role IN the affairs of the world.
England had been regarded as iso-
lated, but after England acted As she
did in your war with Spain it was
clear that a bond had been estab-
llshed that was of no temporary
character. This, then, is the greatre-
suit of your triumph over Spain; the
peace of Europe is put on a basis of
almost absolute safety, and the
anglo American approachment,
't'ASH oC c@iOllVl IudU
fair play shall exist between all ma
tons, and that English and Ameri-
can ideas of civilization and liberty
shall be the standard of the world"
j. K. Burton, the widely known
Kansas lawyer, is in Washington on
business. He said Of the sentiment
in his state: NINETY per cent. OF the
people of Kansas approve of the ad-
ILLUSTRATIONS policy regarding the
Philippines, and will stand oy Presi-
dent Mckinley in everything he does
in line with the doctrine of expansion.
The Democracy of our state is hope
lessly demoralized, and the intelligent
element Of it will remain passive and
inert, seeing the futility of trying to
cope with the Bryan crowd and recog-
nlZlng, moreover, that Republican
success in 1900 is a foregone conclu-
sion. think that Bryan will be re
nominated and that Aguinaldo
would be an excellent choice for Sec
ond place on the ticket. North of
Mason and Dixon's line Colorado is
the only state this ticket can pos
sibly carry, but, of course, it would
get big support among the Tagals."

Story of a Slave,

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,

alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
