Dodge Citr's Position in State Affairs

ing cOntentious-that Dodge City is
gradually but surely promoting herself
to a prominent position in our state af-
fairs, it is only necessary to mention the
several respected citizens of town
who have been chosen to fill places of
honor in our State Boards and SOCIETIES
First. the State Board of Health,
most important benef1cent state organi-
cation. recently displayed its aggregat-
ed acumen by electing to its member
ship, of skillful physicians and
surgeons. S. Jay Crum mbine, NJ. D.; and
it is quite safe to predict that as their af-
f1Iiation with him discloses to them his
versatile abilities, continuance of such
wise action will yet move this body to
subject its learned deliberations and all of
its legislation to his executive leadership.
Next the State Dental Associa ton,
having had onr worthy townsman, o. III.
Simpson, d. D. S., in its corporate cru
chile as an officer for several years, now
prove their discovery of the genuine ma
terial by electing him to its Presidency.
No feals among those who know him
best, but that he will discharge all the
| duties of his office with fidelity and with
honor. Dr. Simpson has also received
| appointment from Governor Stanley to a
position on his official staff as member of
| the State Board of Dental Examiners,
| and is the choice of the State Association
to the coming convention of the Nation
| al Dental Association delegate from
| Kansas. Both of these professional gem
| tiemen came to community, many
years since, young men and strangers,
| except for their fair credentials from
former homes. Here. each laid the foun-
dation of his future active life, deep in
the solid and eternal principles of faith

in the most dignified and useful con :

| But the real Dodge City of the present
day-the municipality of which are
| justly proud-is that represented by two
| of the most worthy ladies of com :
munity in the ssKansas Social Science
Federation of Women's Clubs.'' This
Federation has for its motto:
''And what they they fn daFe re to .s. dream Of

In the session just closed at Leaven-

and to that of Ciyics-the first in momen
though last mentioned-is appointed Mrs
Emily s. Whitworth, wife of our we'll
known DR.. Whitworth. The constant

Dodge City may congratulate themselve
and each other on snch representation.
Another occasion to swell our heart
with excusable pride the choice o
Dodge City. among three or four cities o
the State, visiting point en- route ea s
of the International Sunday School Work
ers. The officers expressed much pleasure
but more surprise at the reception givel
them here, in what was additionally tn

of it first.
OtheEeof our worthy citizens have re-
ceived appointment to places of homo
and profit but these being of politica
character are outside the scope of thi

One reason for this is that Dodge Cit,
, people stand by each other wherever the,
; may be, with a local loyalty beautiful t.

tendency of soul which is the prime fac
