Advertising Paid.

Blum Mo. Republican, relates these
facts of his early acquaintance with
the firm Of B. Nngcnt " Bros. Of 81.

when We were publishing a paper
in Mount Vernon, H., In 1867, on the
second floor, IA store opened In the
room under u Office. The senior
proprietor came upstairs and contract

twelve months. with locals. and l.jOJ

thing that connects q name and q business in peoples
Membership in churches and clubs aud societies,
the giving Of social entertainments. public charities
all these things and more are advertising. But greater
and broader. and better and easier than all these Is
newspaper advertising. You may think Of that with.
out thinking Of the other plans. but no scheme Of
publicity Is complete without the newspaper.
Properly prosecuted. newspaper advertising will
always pay. That here and there Is q man who says:
E Advertising doesn't pay. I've tried H." proves moth.
ing but that his method was faulty.
Advertising is business news. II tells Of things
which are Of great daily importance. 1t is Of more
account TO the frugal housewife tn know where she can
get certain necessary commodities at a less price than
usual than 10 know all the troubles In Siam or Alaska.

John Marshsll Day.

On the fourth day Of February il
will be one hundred years since John
Marshall took his seat as chief Justice
OF the supreme court Of the United
States.
The day will be appropriately OBJ
served throughout the nation. The
supreme court of the United States,
congress, the president and his cabi-
net will commemorate the event with
special exercises.
The day will also be properly cele-
brated in our own state by the State
Bar association and other organiza-
tons. Governor Stanley has issued a
proclamation calling upon the people
to Join in the centennial exercises
concentrating the life and public
services Of this eminent American
jurist.
John Marshall has left permanent
impression upon the pages Of Ameri-
can history. His contribution to
political literature has enriched and
enlarged our whole national life. His
extraordinary power Of mind, his
honesty, kindness and devotion to
duty made him one Of the truly great
men Of this country. He was great
advocate Of free government and one
Of the ablest expounders Of the funda-
mental principles Of our constitution.
He said: 1.-The government Of the
union is government Of the people;
it emanates from them; its powers
are granted by them and are to be ex-
ercised on them and for their benefit. :"
There is much in his resourceful life
to inspire the youth Of our country to
high and noble efforts.

Salina Republican: Once in 8
while some scribbler comes before the
public with list Of gentlemen al
legged to be a candidate for Mr.. Cald.
erhead's place two years hence.
Whether or not the scribbler afore.
said throws out this list periodically
as a "a feeler," cannot be definitely
ascertained. As ga feeler" thus far
it achieves no results. Two years is
a long distance hence. Mr.. Calder
head has just been reelected by a
splendid majority, and there is moth
ing to indicate that he does not re-
tain his previous firm hold upon the
confidence of the Republican votes Of
the district. 1t is more than likely
that when two years roll away, if he
is inclined to accept another term in
congress that he will receive the NOM
nation with the same unanimity
with which it has previously been
given to him. At least, the gentle
men thus far named as possible as
pirants to the succession contain
nothing in their ability or previous
political standing to cause Calder
heads cheek to blanche with fear OF
them as rivals.

Two Good Measures.

The election committee Of the house
will recommend for passage the Law
renee election bill which II passed will
make important changes in our cleo
ton laws. The bill is based upon the
election laws Of New York and Wyo-
ming and makes it possible to vote a
straight ticket by making a cross at
the top Of the ticket 1t further pro-
yides for separate ticket and ballot
box for township officers and also for
a separate ticket and ballot box for
any constitutional amendment that
may be voted on. Under the pro-
visions OF this bill the name Of no
candidate can appcar.upon the ballot
more than once. The party that cast
the largest number Of votes at the
last election for governor will have
two judges Of election and one clerk
and the party casting the next high
est number will have the remainder
Of the board. The bill gives explicit
directions for the printing Of ballots
and the manner Of holding elections.
So far it has met with general ap-
proval.
A similar bill has been favorably
reported by the senate committee, ex-
cept that the senate bill gives each
party Judge and clerk Of election
and provides that the mayor or town.
ship trustee shall appoint the third
Judge.
The house committee will also
recommend for passage Mr.. Luling's
bill which provides that during the
last ten days for registration Of voters
in cities the poll books shall be kept
open and accessible during the noon
hour and until 10 o'clock p. M. In
cities of the first class the council
may appropriate not to exceed $500
for additional clerk hire and in second
class cities not to exceed $780, The

Kansas First Capitol

The State Historical society at its
annual meeting held January Is,
1901, on motion Of Col. W. B. Stone
Of Galena, appointed a committee
composed Of Hon. John Francis, pres
ident Of Of the society; Hon. John
Martin, and the secretary to prepare
a memorial for the legislature to pre-
sent to congress requesting that the
ruins Of the old capitol at Pawnee,
situated upon the military reserve,
with a small tract Of ground sur
rounding, be coded to the state, or
permission be given the state to re-
pair and preserve said building. 1t
has been intimated that several times
commanding officers Of the post, with
out knowledge Of the historical i'm
portance Of the building between
the Union Pacific tracks and the Kan
as river, have considered the ques-
ton Of destroying it, and cleaning off
the ground. In this building the
first legislative assembly met on Kan
sas soil, in it the first governors
message was delivered, and in it the
first attempt at legislation was made.
While there are still a few left who
know these facts, its Identification
should be made complete, and move
ment inaugurated to preserve. 1t
would be a crime against the bound
less state pride, enthusiasm and pa.
triotism, which has iamiliarized all
peoples Of the earth with the name Of
Kansas, to permit this building, and
others that might be cited, to be
obliterated.

and another at Terrington, and count
less other illustrations the country
over Of the patriotic am bition Of the
people to mark and preserve great
epochs in their development. Soon
the last one familiar with the plant
ing and early nurturing Of this soul
inspiring commonwealth Of Kansas
will have passed away, and much to-

Thousands upon thousands Of dollars
have been expended by people in the
eastern states in restoring buildings,
after years Of neglect and mutilation,
to their condition during the Revolu-
ton. Without sentiment we would
be dead. G. W. MARTIN.
