BILL AND THE MULE.

the mountains since early morning
looking at timber and exploring roads
leading to it, and about 3 o'clock in

mountaineer walking by the roadside
with . staff in his hand and yellow
dog at his heels. He stopped as | APP
preached, and knowing what that
meant, pulled up to learn what he
might want.

ting that pass for the usual saluta-
ton, but have you saw anything in

1t was rather vague proposition,

Funston for War,

There seems 10 be no doubt about
where Gen. Funston stands on expan.
sion. In the course OF an interview
at Manila last week Funston remark.
ed that he would not mind staying In
Luzon. He dislikes war, but mas
much as there Is fighting, he would
like to remain and aid in bringing it
to a close.
1.-THE only solution Of the problem
will be through whipping the insur-
gents, said General Funston in speak
ing Of the future. 81 do not think
they will surrender. When we begin
active operations against them on a
larger scale in the autumn we will
scatter them into small bands, and |
think when the soldiers composing
these bands see that they are persist
emily pursued they will throw away
or hide their arms and return to the
pursuits Of peace"
A few days ago the News asked il
the REFLECTOR endorsed Funston's
views. 1t does. How about your.

For Your Eastern Trip.

Many who intend going east next
month are looking forward to the
trip with eagerness and especially
are they careful about the choice Of
routes. The Missouri Pacific is offer
ing many inducements that are fully
warranted by the fine equipment, ex-
cellent roadbed and courteous service.
There is no swifter, handsomer or
better road on earth and Dickinson

service will do we'll to take advantage
Of the attractions Of the Missouri
Pacific.

10 xcNallism.

One OF the pledges Of the Republi-
cans in the last Estate campaign was
that there should be no McNallism in
the insurance department, that pledge
is being fulfilled.
Governor Stanley, who believes
that all fees collected for the exami.
nation OF insurance companies by
agents Of the insurance department
should be turned into the State
Treasury, and that the agents should
be paid out Of the Insurance Super.
intendent's contigent fund, is going
to have his way.
R. 7. Battey has examined three
companies for Mr.. Church-the Kan
sas Mutual, the Indiana Life. and a
newly organized Kansas company, re-
ceiving for bis work the sums Of
1920, $3.50 and $25, respectively; to-
tai, 1896.
This money was collected by Mr..
Battey, and he claimed that he made
the collection under authority Of law.
He would not, therefore, turn IL into
the treasury, according to Governor
Stanley's wishes.
Superintendent Church sustained
Mr.. Battey, but in order to be in har-
mony with the executive, he will
waive bis personal views, and pay in.
to the treasury out of his contingent
fund the amount Of Battey's collec-
tions-$595.
All fees collected in the future will
60 into the treasury as is proper and
right. Mr.. Church has been wrong
in the matter and we are glad to see
that Gov. Stanley has had the nerve
and good judgment to compel the en-
forcement OF his ideas in the matter.

A Manila Editors Views.

Douglas Young, editor Of the Ma
Mia Freedom, arrived in Kansas City
Saturday. This is what he says
about expansions
81 believe | am safe in saying that
80 per cent Of the Americans in the
Philippines believe in expansion. The
country is exceedingly fertile and
there are splendid opportunities for
making money If person has little
capital. The Twentieth Kansas has
not only captured this country, but
to the Americans who have seen
their valorous deeds, they are espec-
tally endeared. No more gallant men
ever stepped upon battlefield The
Filipinos, in my opinion, are quicker,
better and more capable Of learning
than any of the far Fasteners, They
are brighter than the Malays, Chinese
or Japanese. ! believe that the war
Is practically ended. 1t will be set
tied before the dry season is over.
The troops now en- route to the Phil
ippines will be ample. do not
think that any of the soldiers going
there now will ever have chance to
serve out their term Of enlistment" "
And yet eminent Populists who
have not been farther from home
than the county seat since the days Of
the Farmers Alliance and who would.
MT know Filipino from Digger
Indian solemnly resolve in convention
assembled that the administration is
"vacillating" and "in'ompetent" in
Its management Of the war issues.

New Way to Nominate.

The Republicans Of Brown county
adopted a new system Of nominating
a county ticket last Saturday. They
ran the thing something after the
order OF proportional representa-
tion." There was no nominating
convention nor any Crawford county
system Of voting. 1t was Drown
county system" pure and simple.
The county committee met and ap.
portioned delegates to the various
voting precincts on the basis Of the
vote cast for secretary Of state last
year. The various factions put up
tickets in each precinct. Then each
was entitled to the number Of dele.
gates in proportion to the number Of
votes it cast out Of the whole, instead
OF the delegates meeting in conven-
ton and nominatinga county ticket
the per centages were certified up to
the county committee and the candi'
date receiving the highest percentage
for the Office was given the nomina-
ton certificate.
TO illustrate; A township cast 100
votes for Secretary Of State George
A. Clark last fall. That township
was allowed one delegate for every
twenty votes cast for him. This gave
it five delegates. II 100 votes were
cast at the primary last Saturday and
one candidate received sixty Of them
and another forty, then the one re-
eeiving sixty would get 6O.1OO Of the
delegates. This equals three.ffths
or three out Of the five to which the
township was entitled. The one re-
ceiving the forty votes would get the
other two delegates. The per cent
ages were certified up to the county
committee and after those from the
entire county were totaled up the one
receiving the highest per cent would
be the nominee. This system was
used in order to prevent the big
towns Of Hiawatha and Horton from
controlling the conventions. 1t
placed them on the same footing as
the rural districts.
1t is still too early to tell whether
the system is success. The contest
was 30 close on a number Of nomina-
tions that contests are threatened. II
these are made then the system will
be put to a test. Politicians from
other counties In the State will watch
the matter with interest and if it
proves successful it is probable that
the Brown county system will become
more popular than the Crawford
county system. 1t will be used,
however, by Republicans exclusively.
The Democrats will never attempt to
use it. They can't figure percentage.

That "Anti-Expansion" Victory

1t may be true that the Eighth dis
trict Of Missouri is opposed to nation
al expansion. The Eighth district OF
Missouri, together with several other
districts of Missouri, usually opposes
the policies which operate to make
the country bigger, stronger and
more prosperous. The Eighth dis
trict Of Missouri is opposed to sound
money, upon which the business
stability and activity of the country
rest. 1t is opposed to the protective
tariff. which is the basis of industrial
life, the guarantee Of good wages
and the prop Of the home market
National expansion is not at all dis
credited by the fact that the Eighth
district Of Missouri has not indorsed
it at the polls. II the district had
been in the habit OF indorsing good
and wholesome measures the conclu-
sion might be different.
As q matter Of fact, however, there
is no reason to believe that the cleo
ton Of Judge Shackleford on an anti
expansion platform means that the
voters Of the Eighth district are hos
tile to expansion. II the platform
had declared specifically for expan-
sion the result would have been prac-
tically the same. The explanation of
the matter is that the Democrats
made an extraordinary vigorous cam
paign, while the Republicans did not.
As a consequence Democratic voters
went out to the polls and a large per
cent OF Republicans stayed at home
The Democrats voted their strength
because Bryan, Stone, Dockery,
Stephens and other influential leaders
urged them to, not because OF any
plank in the platform. Missouri
Democrats have a habit OF voting just
that way. 1t is the moss on their
backs. They vote 30 per cent parti.
san prejudice where they vote 10 per
cent Of principle.

Resting Time.

It is time to rest Nature tells US
to fold our hand a little while in the
late summer days. When the sun is
giving us his fervor Of fervors in or
der to drive us deep into the shad-
ows Of the woods. OF old the
poets imagined that Pan snoozed
when the heat was great, and during
his nap it was dangerous to disturb
him. Pan is dead; but rest is just as
sweet in reality as in myth. Indeed
the reality is always somehow con-
nected with the dream-poets sing
from fact to fancy. Pan slumbering
in the cool gloom Of his cave at noon
tides flood was but the shadow of a
great human need. Virgil, the
heather, felt the same call to the joy
of rest in chill sweet shadows as that
he pictured in Tityrus.
Job pictures behemoth at rest:
"He lieth under the shady trees, in
the covert Of the reed and fens. The
shady trees cover him with their
shadow; the willows Of the brook
compass him about" But Tityrus
or behemoth, Pan or man, the re-
freshment Of lolling in cool places
when the season for rest is come
strikes to the marrow Of nature.
"Let us cross over and rest under the
shade OF the trees" were the last
words Of Stonewall Jackson when dy-
ing of his wounds.
There could be no set Of words more
richly flooded with the quality which
makes all souls long as one. From
the heat, the soaring glare, the fever,
the stress, give us a refuge and a sea-
son Of repose in shady place. hide
me under the shadow Of thy wings"
the psalmist cries, and 81 shall abide
under the shadow Of the Almighty"
80 Lord, thou hast been a shadow
from the heat" sings another old
poet. wash your feet and rest
yourselves under the tree," said the
Patriarch in the long ago.
Labor is good and the long summer
is a blessing; but the year has its
sabbath, cycle Of days between the
summer and the autumn, to be spent
not in mere idleness, but in rest.
The harvest is over, the stubble lies
sere in the sun.glare, the grasshopper
is burden, the fruit Of the orchard
ripens slowly, there is a lull in Ma
ture, there is q call to the shade.
Let us take rest.-[New York indie

The result in the Eighth district Of
Missouri may be the "tirst gun" from
the people on the expansion question,
but it is essentially popgun. There

it that the American people are not
