as much in favor of public ownership
of public utilities as any Pepulist of
ten years ago. 1t is unnecessary for
us to join the Democratic party next
year. We have done the work which
we set out to do and that is sufficient.
We need not spoil the good record and
clean page we will leave behind us by
entering into deal with the Demo-
cratic party for the sake of beating
the Republicans. There is more lack
of principle in that one short mani
festo issued by the Democratic State
committee than in all of the plat
forms ever adopted by the Populist
party. No l am not in favor of par
ty which simply desires to beat an
other"
Chief Justice Doster of the Supreme
court came into Mrs. Digg's room at
, this point and hearing her last few
sentences, remarked: ''Those are my
sentiments"

To the Editor of The WORLD:
VIII YOU kindly give me space

Will you kindly give me space for
the following statements:
In view of the numerous ISLANDERS
now in circulation in our town, 1 feel
that it is due to Prof. Shearer. nay
family and myself to give the facts
in regard to scholarships.
No scholarships have ever been re-
ceived by or for anyone.
Only two were sent to Prof. Shearer
lone from Bethany college and one
from the University of Missouri
stating that they offered for a limited
period scholarships to High School
graduates in Kansas on application of
such graduates with suitable recon-
mendations as to moral character and
scholarship.
One of these he handed to me as a
member of the school board to look
over. The other he did not have
with him at that time-so simply
told me of it.
No scholarship, in any shape or
form, has been offered, given, pre-
sented to, or urged upon Stella. And
at no time has there been any scholar
ship within the possession or gift of
Prof. Shearer or tue school board.

Last Wednesday morning John
Clouds house about mile northeast
of town was burned to the ground.
Mr.. Cloud was at r.. Horak's harvest
ing when the fire occurred. The fire
was caused by the youngest daughter
(who was playing up stairs) stepping
on a match. She tried to extinguish
the fire but it spread with such rapid
ity that she had to run down stairs.
Her mother, who was working in the
kitchen knew nothing of the fire until
the upstairs was all ablaze. The
mother and three girls carried out a
few household goods and trunk full
of clothing. This is a great loss to
Mr.. Cloud as he carried no insurance.
reached town that Willie Peacock
had drowned in Spring creek while
bathing. Spring creek is composed
of lot of pools of water in the E. b.
Webb neighborhoed. Willie and Sam
were bathing in a long pool the water
in most parts was only knee deep. At
one end there was hole about ten
feet deep and about fifteen feet wide.
Willie could swim but Sam couldn't,
so Sam took hold a buggy whip which
Willie had tied around his waist.
About the center of the pool Sam was
ahead of Willie ana he noticed him
struggling and going up and down.
1t was with much difficulty that Sam
reached the other side The theory is
that Willie was taken with cramps as
he had swan this hole many times be-
fore Sam notified Mr. Webb and A.
p. Hinshaw and after several dives
Mr.. Hinshaw rescued the body The
funeral services were held in the NJ
E. church, Monday afternoon, Revs-
johnson and Gunckel officiating The
remains were laid away in our little
cemetery over on the hill beside his
dear mother. Willie was in his 10Th

schoolmates and was beloved by all.

Arthur Capper of Topeka arrived
in the city Monday afternoon on land
office business and before he got out
out of town he filed papers on home
stead in the gold region. Arthur and
the editor of this great political week

years ago. From a type sticker he
became city editor. He left the Cap

where he was reporter on the Tri-
bune- He returned to Topeka and
again became city editor. He tired
of working for other people, and
launched out on the sea of journalism
for himself-buying the North Tope-
ka Malta paper which had swamped
several publishers. The Breeze was
started about this time and it soon
cut whole lot of ice all over the
state. Arthur realizing the Breeze
was bound to become IA rival to his
Mail bought controlling interest in
it--and from this purchase sprung the
best weekly paper in the west-The
Mail and Breeze. Several capitalists
thought the Capital was not what it
it ought to be and bought controll-
ing interest in it-only to learn that
a man had to have some knowledge
of the newspaper business to be sue
cessful. Arthur saw IA chance to get
a controlling interest, bought il aud
under his management the Capital is
better and brighter than ever before.
From boy type sticker seventeen
years ago Arthur has risen to editor
of the two best papers in kansas

Here is Il story they are telling on
Ex-Governor Jim Troutman of Tope-
ka, and the Capital says it happened
in Smith county: "DurIng the days
when PopuliSm was at it's height, the
Republican State committee sent
Troutman to Smith county to make
speech. When he arrived there he
was positively informed that it was
no place for Republican speeches, and
that no Republican orator had been
permitted to finish his speech Within
the last year or two. Troutman was
determined to make his speech as
billed and began at once with one of
his best stories. In about five min
uteS tile Governors discretion was
overcome Dv his intense Republican,
ism, and he made pointed thrust at
the opponent party, whereupon body
of young men in the rear of the room
shouted in concert, -Ratsl' Troutman
paused for moment, and then, wav-
ing his hand at the crowd standing
outside near the window, said: Wait
er. come in and take the Chinamen's
orders!' The effect was electrical and
effectual."

'sThe Democrats of Kansas are just
whistling to keep their spirits up
said Mrs. Annie Diggs, state librarian.
Mrs. Diggs is very much disguised
with the Democrats over the mani
festo which they issued. When asked
what effect the manifesto would have
on Kansas politics. Mrs. Diggs said:
ut means that the Republicans
will carry the state at the election
next year. Tie anti-Republican ele-
ment will never combine on a plat
form which is bound together by no
stronger tie than desire to win. 1t
takes principle to hold voters togetl-
er. The Democratic leaders cannot
declare that they would like to beat
the Republicans next year and by that
declaration bring the Populists into
their camp. The old Populist work
ers feel that the fight is lost especial
ly so far as the immediate future of
the fusion parties is concerned. They
know that the parties with which
they have always affiliated cannot win
next year because of this fight over
fusion. They will not therefore enter
into the fight with the old time de-
gree of e1rnestness-
Nomatter il the Populist party never
holds another state conventions, it has
accomplished the purposes for which iG
was organized. Ten years ago we adj
vocated public ownership of public
