nations on divers other occasions that
no man can be for the maintenance
of the flag who is not also for William
McKinley's policy, but if the president
contradicts himself that is his look out,
not ours.
At the banquet he declared with all
his customary fervor that the word
disunion has now gone out of our vo-
cabulary and, that every section is for
the maintenance of the flag. If the
word 'disunion' is gone from our vo-
cabulary, it is not easy to see how cop

from the question of "disunon" the
word "copperhead" had literally no
meaning-there was nothing for it to
apply to.
OF course. if a man wants to he can
call anybody a copperhead whom he
doesn't happen to like, or who ventures
to disagree with him on any public
question. If, for example, man pro-
fesses undying devotion to the silver
cause and then spends the major part OF
his time berating the friends of silver
and eulogizing the champions of the
gold standard, we can call that man
"copperhead." 1t may not be techni-
cally accurate according to the former
application of the word; but there is
no law against people using it in that
way If they want to, and it must be
confessed that the provocation is great.
A man who pretends to be fer one
thing when in fact he is for something
directly opposed, is, figuratively, snake

so far-fetched as it might be in its ap-

The Appendicitis Fiend.

from the Chicago Chronicle.
In spite of the craze for cutting which
has infected the medical fraternity dur
ing the last few years, it is reassuring

doubt the entire advisability of cutting a

that locality being the approximate
stamping ground of appendicitis AS one
delegate pointed out, the patient may be
merely suffering from the ordinary stom-
achache of commerce and it would per-
haps be inadvisable to open him up and
send him a bill for $500 merely because
of Il few green apples or an overdose of

J. E. Carr, his son, w. J. E. Carr and

these trees now set out. The plantation
has about 100 acres in it. We expect
to put out other kinds of tropical fruit
and vegetables as soon as possible.
Among the different kinds which we
will cultivate are rubber trees, vanilla,

An Old Deed Discovered in Emporia
Bearing the Signature of Presi-

[From the Emporia Gazette.1

Ile bnpOIIa OIdZeCIe.I
When the vault of the old First Ma
tional bank was cleaned out the other
day, something that had been buried
thing was the original grant made by
President Buchanan to Francis A.
Hicks for the section of land that this
town now covers. The patent is ac-
cording to the treaty signed with the
Wyandotte Indians in 1912 in the state
of Ohio. 1t is written out on sheep
skin. Mr.. Hicks, or his heirs, sold the
land to the Emporfa Town Site COM
pany. They sold the land. The origi-
nal patent was turned over to the Off
GERS and has since 1860 been in the
vaults of the First National bank or it's
predecessors. The other day 1T was ia
ken out and turned over to the mayor
and council They are having it framed
and will present it to the state normal
to hold in trust. The ground that the
normal is now on was in the original
grant.
Years ago, the heirs tried to get back
some of the property and the old set

tween the normal and Sixth avenue For
years, those who owned land in that
part Of town had no clear title to the
property. The section is divided into
quarters by Commercial street and

END OF A DISHONEST SUBSIDY

blow yesterday when the house of rep
resentatives at Washington struck out
of the postofffce appropriation bill the
appropriation of $685. 600 for the special
mail facilities from Kansas City to
Newton. This will stop the fast mail''
which is run at public expense in the
early hours of the morning for the pur-
pose of conveying a few half baked
Kansas City papers to western Kansas
Virtually no letters were carried by this
train and the cost of running was
nothing but a subsidy to the Kansas
City papers at the rate of 10 cents a
copy for the papers carried. 1t is a mild
way of putting it to say that the ex-
pense was needless. The people OF Kan
saS are not dependent on the news
