struggling Beers? How about
the sacredness of an American
citizens mail? Don't say Nc
Crum's mail was not tampered
with-he's got the British ear
marks-the envelopes that were
opened. And one day, when the
present Anglo-maniacs are
dethroned, the records at
Washington will be dug up and
made public
THE Sheldon edition of the
Topeka Capital is not such a
wonder as people expected it to
be. The man who has the paper
in charge this week has demon
strated one thing at least, and
that is that paper can be i'm
proved in appearance and use
fulness by eliminating the ''scare
heads" so common to the daily
press. Thus far we have seen
nothing inconsistent in the read
ing matter or the general make
up of paper. The man who seeks
the sensational will not find it in
the Sheldon Capital. Those who
take no interest in the livelier,
latter day affairs, can find plen-
ty of reading to suit them. The
advertising columns are well
filed, and there are fewer patent
medicine ads in it than in the
DEMOCRAT even.
CITY politics is now takiug the
attention of Great Bend citizens.
But there is not much politics
about it. True, the straight re-
publican organization which
made fight for a straight re-
publican city ticket last year,
has issued calls, for ward causes.
The committeeman making the
call are: J. W. McClimans, w. B.
King, Elmer L. Dale and ". /.
Mendenhall, for the first, second,
third and fourth wards in the
order named. These are the
committeeman appointed at the
Swartz republican city con-
vention last year. Elsewhere in
this paper will be found a call by
the citizens committee appointed
last year, viz: w. F. Honnen,
r. A. Ewalt, Ed. S. Marx and [.
N. Woodward, for citizens
cancuses to name ward
candidates and select delegates
to a city convention.
In VIEW of the fact that the
city of Great Bend has made
more improvements, been run
more economically, paid more
city debt and given more
general satisfaction than under
any city administration for
many years, it would seem folly
to now. depart from the plans
this administration have
established and turn the city
back to a purely political regime
1t seems to be the desire of most
business men to elect members
Of the council, city marshal and
other officers who can and will
act in harmony with the mayor
and the councilmen who hold
over. We believe that the
majority OF Great Bends voters
will SO express themselves at the
polls, and that our city will
continue to advance along the
line OF progress she has made
during the past year.

CLAUD DUvAL, of Hutchinson,
is mentioned as a possible can
didate for congressman from the
Seventh. Duval is a democrat,
and one of the brightest young
men in the state. He is also a
clean, honest, trustworthy man,
thoroughly imbued with reform
ideas, and would come nearer
representing the people of that
district than some populists we
know of.-Fort Scott Lantern

good representative of tn e
fighting Republicans no doubt,
and this is the way he talks
about it: '"The people of the

hoodwinked into believing that
when the nation acquires

not at once extend to it. I have
viewed this Porto Rican measure

handed outrage on the interests

GREAT BEND citizens generally
are satisfied to ''let well enough
alone" !" They feel that the city
officers we have had for the past
year have made a good showing
in the way of city Improvements;
have placed the city treasury in
a better condition than it has
been for many years, and if the
present policy is carried out will
continue to pursue a course of
advancement satisfactory to all.
With this end in view, a non
partizan ''Citizens" Convention is
called, at which men will be
placed in nomination in whom
the people have confidence. 1t
is no time to inaugurate an
entire change of policy, nor to
put men in office who might un-
do the good work already so
well under way.

Other Matters.

At the Citizens Sanitary Committee
yesterday afternoon it was reported
that President Wood had requested
the Citizens Committee to take over
for inspection all the unburned por-
tons of what has been known as the
infected district. The case of the Chi
nese. Quong Fat Man, who, from all ac-
counts, had been sick in the Mclean
premises from Monday until Thurs
day, was the reason for this action.
VIM. Blaisdell was transferred from
District SO to the infected district
which includes Districts Is and IA. p.
Danson Kellett, who has been a sub
inspector under Mr.. Blaisdell, has been
given charge of District SO, which in
cludes Palolo valley.
The attention OF the committee has
been called TO the approach of Chi
nese New Year. and the suggestion
was made by W. r. Castle that the
aid of the Chinese Consul be requested
in an endeavor to postpone the celebra-
ton OF the festival. The Citizens
Committee voted to ask the Board of
Health to act in the matter. feeling
that their action would have more
weight.

TIE Shipment of Rice.
Urgent requests to allow rice to be
shipped away to other island ports
have been received at the health office.
Reports have come in that the Kama
10 plantation laborers have little to eat.
In response to an inquiry as to what
attempts have been made by the
agents of plantations to get rice from
other quarters, it was stated that this
is the season between crops and most
of the rice was in storage here. Large
quantities of rice were reported on
Kauai, which could be shipped to other
islands. IL was suggested that the
Planters Association should meet at
once to debate the question OF food
supplies, and throw some light upon
the subject for the Board of Health.
The action of President Wood in
condemning the house in which Mrs.
Emily Bisling died yesterday morning
to be destroyed by fire, and also the
adjoining house, was approved by the
Board.
The two deaths by plague which daj
occurred during the day were officially
reported by President Wood, stating
that the history of each case was very
difficult to trace, especially in the case
OF the native woman, who had not
been in the city since the plague made
its appearance.

Citizens Sanitary Committee.

Mr.. Thurston of the Citizens SAM
tary Committee asked definite instruc-
tons from the Board as to what man
ner of procedure the committee were
TO go through in order to obtain
guards to place around infected houses
and premises, now that these guards
were under the control of Marshal
Brown. Mr.. 1hurston stated that the
committee had endeavored to obtain
guards from the Marshal on Thursday
to place around the cottage of the ma
tive woman at Kaimuki, but had been
unsuccessful at that time. Marshal
Brown, who came to the Board Of
Health upon the telephone request of
Attorney General Cooper, stated that
he understood that his orders for send
ing out guards were to come from the
Board Of Health Office and not from
the Citizens Sanitary Committee. The
matter was finally adjusted by the
Marshal stating that a number of
guards would be on call at the Board
of Health Office in charge of a compe-
tent man under Marshal Brown. and
that horse and wagon wouIa be pro-
vided to convey them to the places
they were to guard.
In regard to the complaint OF the
Citizens Sanitary Committee relative
to the failure of one of the health ply
sicians TO attend to the sick child of
a Mr.. Willing, President Wood ex-
planned that the physician in question
was a newcomer to Honolulu, and
evidently did not understand that his
instructions included the duty of at
tending any kind of sickness he came
across, whether it was plague or a cold.
Mr.. Smith handed in TO the Board
the sum Of SO from Mrs. T. B. Muir
ray to be used to the best advantage
in relieving distress among the home
less. The Board expressed its thanks
for the donation.
