WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH.
DOers show No Indication Of firing
of the War-Kruger to Visit
United states.

London, April s.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Morning Post, who
warns his countrymen against hoping
for an early termination of hostilities
or believing the stories that the Beers
are tired of war, says: ut becomes
daily more evident that the Beers in
tend to fight to finish. Many are sur
rendering, but they are men of no
standing. The real fighting men are
still on commando, and, although the
recently successful British operations
tend to bring the end nearer, ii is evil
dent that the Beers must be com
pletely crushed before a general sur
render is probable"
According to a dispatch TO the Daily
Mail from Iilversum, Mr.. Kruger, who
has just arrived there, has expressed
an intention TO 90 10 the United States
in June, and TO visit Washington, Bos-
ton and Chicago.

MODEL HOME PAPER

he has sought capable men and efaci-
ency for public service rather than to
consult only his personal interests or
inclinations. He has reappointed or
continued competent and experienced
members Of state boards regardless OF
their politics or whether they we're his
personal adherents He has consti--
tuted new boards and made appoint
msnts entrusted TO him by the legis-
lature with the came care and public
spirit. The legislature put many new
appointments into his hands with full
confidence in his judgment, and in no
instance was their confidence violated
by unfit appointments. In selection Of
men for the state board Of agriculture
or the textbook commission and for
other important places he deemed no
man too good TO ask him to serve and to
political pull he paid little or no at
tention. Governor Geer has gone
farther TO consult the masses OF the
people and the press Of the state in
making appointments than any prede'
cessor. He has tried to find their wishes
and protests and has . sought to
meet the one and respect the other.
And It is not strange that he has fairly
we'll succeeded. His life has been for
twenty years a continuous training for
public service. For ten years he dis
cussed public questions in the news
papers. Four times he served in the
legislature, once as speaker and the
state never had better man in the
chair. In 1896 he made campaign as
presidential elector, speaking for seven
weeks and in that time he was at home
but two hours. He has made speeches
in all but two counties Of the state. In
most Of them speaking many times.
No man has better record for party
service or has contributed more Of
his time and ability TO help carry on
popular government. He won his
nomination for governor in 1898 against
the opposition Of some OF the best party
managers In the state and carried his
state ticket by large msjority against
an united opposition for a strong can
didate.
