There is about as much log rolling
politics in Methodist conference as
In a Pop convention.
The caucuses in Chanute last FRI
day were rather tame affairs. Could
not get up a fight anywhere.
Chanute seems a little quiet this
week compared with last, but there is
enough chicken to go around now.
Shell Brown has been so engrossed
with conference matters this week
that he has not had time to look after
politics,
The First National bank may not be
starting in to paint the town red but
they have given their walls covering
of brilliant red paper.
From the appearance of Boschert &
Williams window, this week, you
would imagine they were running q
first class jewelry store.
A. Gibson came down from Topeka
to attend the convention last Monday.
ALI says he got all he came for and |
guess he did, he usually does.
The early gardeners concluded last
Wednesday, when the snow began to
fly so freely, that they were not quite
so smart as they thought they we're.
Capt. Fishback, Of Winfield, was in
|Chanute last week fishing for con-
gressional hOnOrs. The captain is, no
doubt, a good man, but it would seem
he has cast his fly little late in the
season.
The delegates to the Erie c0nven-
tion clustered around the Arlington
hotel about dinner time and forgot
the perplexities of political intrigue
while they discussed the elegant din
ner prepared and gracefully served.
! W. E. Harlow, of Parsons, seems to
have concluded that he can do more
good foI suffering humanity by re-
lieving their physical ills, by the use
magnetism or some such hOcusp0cus
than by administering to their spirit
ual welfare.
1t took the frowns and head shakes
of all the old political wire pu,lers ! q
the convention at Erie last Monday
Ito keep the convention from STAN
peding to Charley Scott for congress-
man-at-large and passing ringing
resolution Of endorsement.
Shell Browns wife complains that
/ her jaw is getting all out Of Practice
, She says no difference what pr0voca-
tion Shell gives her, and she starts In
to give him genuine blowing up. ne
simply smiles and won't ''sasS back"
bit, and she has no heart to scold.
1 The Browns have built up little
town of their own out in the old Cross
orchard. 1t is simply astonishing te
see the new buildings completed Out
!, there and in course OF erection. Thai
part OF the city should be designated
as Brownville, in honor of the mer
! who have been chiefly instrumental
e in building it up.
The Sheldon edition Of the Capita
might well be said to be a great i'm
provement over the ordinary religion
t paper, but falls far short OF filling tn
e requirements Of great metropolitan
k daily. The average reader wOui!
E sooner stand smatter of Bro. Hud
sons anti-bOss gush than to have n
politics whatever.
}, We are much flattered that the hon
r Orable school board Of our city hav
:. adopted one Of our suggestions Of las
week and are going to require NOR
rigid examination for admittance in
6 to the high school. If they would nov
;, carry the suggestion out and sandwich
9 in another years work before they ar
eligible, the schools would be mucl
more efficient
