Believes in Home Men.

Did we not know better We might naturally
infer the ABILENE REFLECTOR to be popo-
cratic on account OF Its zealousness for State
candidates OF that persuasion, but It be-
lieves in the home man against outsiders,
There Is nothing the matter with the RE.
TLECToR as a Republican paper, and being a
clean paper 1t Is something to candidates
personality to have II TO say commendatory
words in his behalf,-lSallna sun,
This paper never could see any rea-
son for calling its neighbors hard
names simply because they do not
agree with us in politics. II an Abb.
lene or Dickinson county man can
get something good politically, no
matter in what party, we are glad to
see him succeed and hope he will
prove himself worthy OF the honor
that comes to him. A town is
big family, county is a larger one
and be 10 untrue to the best manhood
who is too narrow.minded to rejoice
In the success Of his home citizens.

A Wall From the Tombs.

II farm lands In Dickinson county had
doubled In selling value along with barb
wire, nails, lumber, ETC., then there would be
some sense and reason In bowling Mckinley
prosperity" but as II Is lands did not increase
and the prosperity" which we hear so much
about Is only for the trusts and corporations
which are enabled, by Republican egisla-
ton, to sap the very life blood out of the
farmers and the laborng men.-[News,
The constitution Of a mind which
can concoct such wall is worthy of
serious study. Such an artist could
distil tears out Of the blessed May
sunshine and weave angels robes in
to sackcloth and ashes. As the
farmers of Dickinson county pile up
their bank accounts and complacently
watch the rich fields Of grain they
hope and long and pray that their
every life blood" will be slapped"
this way for long time.

The COlOncl's Romance.

Colonel" said the romantic girl,
'tell me how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, l just know it
must be thrilling story. Was 1T
made by bullet or saber thrust?
/ prefer a saber thrust 1t seems SO
much more like theknighthood of old.
You can't see a bullet coming, and
there is no way to escape it or com
bat it. But when your enemy PUSHES
at you with his uplifted saber there
is a possibility Of parrying his blow
and cutting him down. That seems
much more manly, even If the victor
in the fray does receive wound or
two, then to just be laid low or to lay
the enemy low by bullet that can't
be seen. There is no bravery IN shoot
ing a man, but there is something
knightly in meeting another face to
face with sword. Your scar looks
like one that was left by cleaning
blade, and | know THAT your enemy
must at least have been rendered hors
de combat. Tell me all about it, colo
nel-when it happened, and how. l
am so interested in war stories
"Yes," he replied, II agree with you
fully about the sword and saber bust
ness. There isn't much bravery in
shooting fellow, and there is some

Topeka Capital: One Of the strong
and stalwart figures at the state con-
mention was Congressman Calderhead.
Six years ago he won the admiration
Of the State by his courageous, and
to the surprise Of the weakened, his
successful campaign for the gold
standard. Calderhead as one Of the
pioneer sound money Republicans has
earned a position in congress for as
many terms as he cares to stay there,
and 1t is a matter Of satisfaction to
all Republicans who respect courage
and conscience in politics that he has
his district more solidly behind him
perhaps than any other Of the States

Mckinley and Prosperity.

The secretary Of the Republican
national committee says that the bank
deposits in Colorado havegrown from
$3.50, 1888 in 1894 to $40, O5S, 377 in
1899. In Idaho for the same years,
from 1904 l2 to $l,S58, 66S; in Mon.
tana from $4,06S,436 to S,760, 1928
ant in Wyoming from $685. 1886 to
s3,l52,909. The aggregate deposits
in these four states, according to Sec
rotary Dicks figures, show an in
crease Of more than 100 per cent and
in giving the reasons for it he says.
ut is largely attributable and d.
rectly traceable to the increase in the
value Of lead, copper and wool. Great
er industrial activity has enhanced
the demand for and the value Of the
two minerals. The policy Of protec-
ton, extended under the Dingley
tariff to American wool, has more
than doubled the value Of that prod.
uct to the American sheep farmer.
with these facts before them can
it be possible that the voters in Colo.
RADIO, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming
will do anything but drop their bal
lots into the box for the reelection of
President Mckinley, Of their Repub.
lican congressman and Republican
state Legislatures that will re-elect
Republican senators to congressp We
have every hope of carrying each and
all of these states for the Republican
party in November next"

The Fashion to Be Happy.

The strongest thing in Kansas is
the emotional nature Of her citizens.
The emotions of Kansas over-rule and
dominate their own causations and
flare off into contradictions and incon-
sistencies galore.
If Kansas, having been glutted by
a superhuity of prosperity and pleas
urable speculative excitement, feels a
natural reaction and collapse, she at
once exaggerates her condition into
one of vocal and inconsolable woe.
If the Kansan wills that things are
against him, he cultivates his kick.
But il the Kansan resolves to be
happy, he will be happy though the
heavens fall. He climbs as high in
happiness as he has descended in woe.
Though failure assail him, and adj
versity, with her pack of wolves at
her heels, knocks at bis door, she
brings no bitterness to bis heart, only
new courage and new hope and new
resolution to be happy and courageous
in the face Of everything.
Right now in Kansas, it is the
fashion to be happy. We lead the
world in wheat and corn, in health,
fertility of soil, in advantageous pas
turage and climate for the growth Of
COW and hog and horse. Our fields
are the fairest, our skies the bluest,
our women the prettiest, our popu-
lation the most widely educated in
the nation. Every Kansas man has
become an immigration agent; every
newspaper an advertisement of Kan
sas.
There can be but one result, wave
of increasing prosperity and growth
OF population in Kansas in excess Of
that Of all previous periods. Kansas
is the best and greatest state in the
union, the state offering in land the
greatest advantages to settlers, and
the Kansan is only worthy of it and
representative Of it when he is happy
and vocal in its praises. Victor
Murdock.
