Taking A Base Advantage

Up to the present week the cam
paign in this county has been com
mendably free from abuse of the can
didates of .the several parties and
politics, locally, has been as clean as
always. There seems last week, how
ever, to have developed in the opposi-
tion weeklies a most bitter malignity.
In the case of Mr.. Purcell the at
tack seems entirely uncalled for, as he
launches his shaft at nominee of the
Republican party who has been over
whelmingly elected already, and has
taken Office so recently that no possi-
bility of neglect of duty or betrayal
of the public trust could have aroused
his anger. And this man who has
been received into this peaceful and
k ndly community with IA glad hand
and good word, thus speaks to his
readers, as he tells of the recent as
sumption of Office by Miss Frances
Wilson: "She was elected to the Of
flee of county treasurer in the Novem-
ber of 1900" Yegods 1900. Ninty-
nine years ago next month May the
friends be merciful to him when they
get him, the friends Of the young lady
never viii or can he.
On the other hand, MIR. Ritter is
perhaps worse. His dig is veilcd I'm
sarcasm and the uncertainty as to
whom the thrust is directed lends Il
peculiar wir<oluesS to 10. fright up
at the top Of his editorial column,
where one may always expect to lind
the keenest thrust against Republicans
ism, where the most brilliant thought
OF a weeks careful coming is fred
against the enemy, one finds this:
"Whilein the hospital he didnot drink
any beer. Amend was unconcious
some time before he died. That is
the whole article; no more: no less.
1t makes ones blood run cold to
think that beneath those enigmatical
but innocent looking words there may
lurk meaning which blasts the fair
reputation of some of the Republican
nominees. A scanning of the entire
ticket fails to locate anyone named
Amend. And none of the nominees
are in the hospital. Neither would
any Of them fall dead in half an hour
were they to refrain from beer,
The REGISTER passes it up to those
more learned in the nomenclature oi
political cut and thrust.

Nyrntc 10 the Mrnng Nan

In an open letter to the REGISTER
several years ago, Mr.. f. A. Van
Valkeuberg publicly Withdrew from
aMliaiiug with the Democratic party
and ever since then lac has been a
supporter of Bepublicanism. II
seems, however, that the party is very
reluctant to drop his name from the
list and SO he received the other day n
letter, which had he a rubber stamp,
he would endorse. "Not paid for
lack of Interest,"" The letter reads;
Office Democratic State Central Com
mittee.
Kansas City Kansas.
Dear Sir: The Democr attic party
is now engaged in another campaign
with its national and state ticket in
the field. No better or stronger men
were ever nominated by any party
than those who head our tickets. The
outlook for the election of the state
and national tickets was never more
promising. The committee is doing
all in its power to bring about a
GLORIOUS Victory" in November.
70 do this we need your influence,
support ana nnanClal ana. w G nav
great faith in your ability as u party
worker The committee is much in
need of means. Will you kindly en-
close in this coin card so cents, 81, or
more, by filing out the blank at the
top of the other side of this card,
! place your remittance in the pockets
of card, place the card in an en-
velope and mail to above address,
DO not fail to return this card, as it
is charged to your name on a perma-
nent record Yours for success,

On the other side of the envelope is
"A sort of oath that 81 will also do all
in my power to assist your committee
and will also do all that is in my
power, in my community, to bring us
a glorious victory in November. "
Now Van couldn't swear that swear,
and he didn't want the things prom.
ised to come to pass, and he don't
care If his name is stricken from the
rolls, so he kept the card.

There are some thirty or more lola
ladies, who, while they may differ
widely on hundred propositions,
are perfectly agreed that they Fri

days during the time they have
called lola their home. In response
to an invitation from Mrs. Webster
Green they drove out to her home west
of town and the day being delightfully."-
balmy, they simply picknicked all
over the farm, climbed the hay stacks,
ate green apples and cut capers they

sponsible for allowing 1t to be so sue
cessful in business, assuming that its
wealth is all ill-gctten. The Croker
dile tears of these great Bryan leaders
are very affecting.
A few years ago Colonel Bryan vir-
tually held monopoly or trust of
lecture bureaus, and like the Stand
ard Oil company, he worked his graft
for all that was in 1t. He gave an ad-
dress or lecture before the Chatauqua
assembly at Forest park in this city
for per cent OF the gross receipts.
He left town before night and was paid
in cash $500, and as people were still
coming in suggested to the secretary
that any balance which might accrue
be forwarded to him, and the books
of the association show that S2l As was
afterward sent TO him by mail. | was
at the time working hard Iall day for
81, six hundred and twenty-one days
to earn what he received for one day.
! only mention this to show that Colo
mel Bryan as well as the Rockefellers
will take all he can get whether it be
in political honors or cold cash.
Does anyone believe that in case Mr..
Bryan was elected trusts and monop-
olies would cease to exist? Mr.. Bry-
ans predictions of what will come to
pass II he is not elected and what will
happen if he is elected, has about as
much weight as thistle down, for his
reputation as prophet, Judging from
the forecasts made by him four years
ago, is not Al.
1t is generally believed that the
copperheads of the north prolonged
the civil war for more than year, so
now | believe that Colonel Bryan and
other men of his faith. if they did not
in the first place cause the present war,
are responsible for its being con-
tinued, and consequently, for the
lives of many of the brave boys who
died in the Philippines while fighting
for their country, and the present con-
dition will exist until the formality
has been gone through with of giving
the people a chance to reiterate their
faith in Mckinley.
You refer in the "open letter" to
the names of men who were once lead
ing Republicans but are now support
ing Bryan. 1t always causes a sad
ness to come over me when ! hear of
an old man putting away the wife of
his youth and marrying young girl.

The dryness of the atmosphere relieves this
great heat Of any errors to all living things

ShoenlX that in summer women and cats are
