OF the marine corps. on the charge Of
executing natives OF the island Of sa-

Captain Mark. who represented Wal.

by the army except when attached TO
the army service. whereas Waller re-
turned to duty with the marines Feb

occurred in January.
The court directed that the point
was well taken. General chaffee is

PRIVATE BILLS VETOED
PRESIDENT SPEAKS d.
RECT TO THE POINT.
Does Not Believe i'm Reinsfating
Discharged Soldiers at
Random.

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent to the SEN
ate two veto messages of private bills.
One is bill granting honorable dis
charge from military service to Chas.
W. Haley. OF this case the president
said:
i think it inexpedient to reverse the
order of dismissal nearly 40 years ago
after the event, when 1t is out of the
question for any one to possess the
knowledge and means of arriving at
the judgment which was possessed by
fellow officers of the man at the time
they dismissed him" Hawley was d
second lieutenant in the Sixteenth
Connecticut volunteer infantry.
The other is bin for the relief Of
James Howell. In returning the bill
the president says:
TT is enough to say that this man
was convicted of mutiny. and sentenc-
ed to be dishonorably discharged from
the army. There is perhaps no other
heritage an Ameriacn would so like to
leave to his children as an honorable
frof services well and gall
lantly performed in the civil war. and
an honorable discharge granted to
those who with blood ana toll have
earned it, is cheapened and rendered
.. little worth If also gran.ad 20 un-
worthy brothers who have forfeited |
The right to receive it.
Howell was member ofcompany IL. |

THE Topeka ADVOCATE QUITS PoPU-

With this issue, this paper ceases to
be political and the Democratic ticket
is removed from the head of our edi-
torial page. 1t has long been the de-
sire of the publisher to build up i'm
Kansas 4 distInctively farm paper, de-
voted to agricultural and stock inter-
ests of the state. Our present deci-
sion has been fastened by reason of
the action of the recent Peoples Par
ty convention in this state, which,
through the efforts of mercenary
leaders, decided that the Peoples par
tv should no longer be a factor. in the
state and that it's adherents should
be carried en- masse into the Demo-
cratic party. This paper has stood
resolutely against fusion. 1t has
stood particularly against Democracy
of the kind that now is in control of
that patty in the state. 1t can see
no difference. as far as the interests
OF the agricultural classes are con-
cerned, whether the Republicans or
Democrats triumph. Neither will
furnish the principles of true popu-
lism. This paper declines TO stultify
Itself by even an acquiescent support
OF that in which it does not really be-
lieve, and every act of The present
Democratic committee since it's or
ganization has been upon the theory
that Populists can be browbeaten or
cajoled into the support of that
ticket. The decentralization of the
PEOPLES party organization is mani
Fest in the fact that A NJ Haryey
its treasurer. is openly in the employ
of the American Book company. and
JQfn CuIran, its secretary, is his and
the book company's friend.
10 our efforts to build up an indie
pendent paper, devoted TO the best
interests of the producers OF the
state. we ask the cordial, earnest sup
port of those who have heretofore
been patrons and friends of the pa
per, and, also. of all others who are
interested in the development of this,

Topeka, August 26, 1902.

TOPEKA, August %, 1902.
TO the County Superintendent of
TregO County:
/ am receiving so many inquiries
relative to the status of the textbook
offer the following suggestions to SUI
perintendents and patrons of the
schools:
The readers, Biographies and phys
iologies are tied up by reason of the
restraining order of the Probate Judge
of Shawnee county. The hearing has
been set for September l. However,
many of the schools of the state be-
gin the first week In September. IN
der the circumstances, patrons can
use the old books that they have on
hand, in reading, geography and phys
iolOgy, because it is not safe to buy
new texts in these subjects, either Of
the displaced ones or of the newly
adopted ones, until the question in
volved has been settled by the courts.
1t is neither expedient or safe to buy
books of the series adopted five years
ago, except the arithmetics and adj
vanced grammar, which were re-
adopted, for, should the courts hold
that the newly adopted texts in read
ing, geography and physiology are le-
galiy adopted, every purchase made
OF the old series OF these text books
would be an additional expense to the
people.
1 trust 1T will not be necessary to
postpone the opening of the schools
because Of this difficulty to secure
