KANSAS BEEF SUPREME.

Whatever criticism may be offered
upon the fair this year. the exhibit Of
fine cattle will not come in for a share
of it, Stockmen who are accustomed to
seeing such things are unanimous in
pronouncing the exhibit a specially fine
one.
Few people realized that there are in
Kansas such animals as have been on
exhibition at the fair grounds this week.

GOOD WORD FOR MIR. WARE

The following commendatory editorial
about Eugene F. Ware, United States
pension commissioner, was published in
the ST. Louis Republic:
There is trouble ahead for Eugene F..
Ware Like H Clay Evans he is be-
ginning to manifest more regard for
business principles as commissioner of
pensions than the pension attorneys and
politicians will indorse.
When he assumed charge of his office
he found two 81, 800 vacancies. Immed-
lately the politicians to the number of
400 filed applications for appointments.
They expected the selections to be made
from outside of the office, as is the Gus
tom in other departments when fat jobs
are left without holders.
Commissioner Ware took different
view of the situation He announced
that he believed in civil service promo
ton. He said that the places would be
filled with men who had proved their
ability. He appointed committee on
promotions.
In his letter of instructions to the
committee, he wrote: 81 want promo
lions by merit. I want to establish an
incentive. Therefore, you will not over

the committee was submitted he found
that one of the men recommended was

told by the committee that no list such

without the name of this man. The
commissioner appointed him without
any hesitation.
In his letter of notification to the
confederate, Mr.. Ware remarked: This
is to say to you that you do not owe
your promotion to political influence
or to the commissioner or to your
friends. You were appointed solely OF,

RoosEvELrs COURAGE.

We have the highly encouraging spec
tacle of chief magistrate with the
courage to enter upon a campaign of
principle regardless of consequences
the wrath of party leaders and threat
ened danger to the campaign fund.
President Roosevelt in his present tour
insists upon treating the trust question
as the paramount issue in national
politics, in the face of strenuous oSSo-
sition from the leading politicians Of
his party in the east.
Z All efforts to gag the president on this
subject during his speaking tour have
been Intellectual and what began as
mere uneasiness on the part of that
faction of the party of which Thomas c.
Platt is the leader and comptroller OF
the excheuuer in New York. has now
developed into decided opposition to the
president and the principles Cor which
he stands. Mr.. Platt has given it out
positively in an interview that the
New York Republican state convention
will not endorse President Roosevelt
for denomination. which being inter-
preted is that it will not II he and his
followers can help 1t. This is common
ly understood to be the direct result of
who have their say in politics through
the medium of Mr.. Platt, and which
was meant to provide for the presi>
dents silence on the trust question dur
ing his present tour, with the with
drawal of their financial support to the
party cause as an alternative.
Just because Mr. Platt and his follow
ers are not for Theodore Roosevelt in
1904 does not necessarily insure mis- de-
feat for denomination. He might lose
the support of New York and still be
reasonably certain of a second tex m,
but then, as it happens, Mr.. Platt's OPP
position is not sure sign of defeat in
the New York state convention. Else
where in the United States the rank and
file in the convention have taken the
matter out of the hands of the party
leaders and declared for Roosevelt and
the same thing may happen in New
York. Five state conventions have pass
ed Roosevelt resolutions and in no case
was it the cut and dried plan of any
faction but the spontaneous action OF
the presidents humble admirers. Roose-
welt is man in national politice with
the attributes and qualities essential to

pie will not be frightened by threats to

| ton Of men like Platt and the trust
magnates will but strengthen Theodore

to be as necessary in politician as in

It helps to build up the community which supports you, when the day comes that the newspapers are dead, the people are near the edge of the grave with no one to write their epitaph."

MEN are often heard to say that there are not the opportuni- ties at hand to succeed in busi- ness that there were when John Jacob Astor, Peter Cooper, Steph- en Girard, and a host of latter day men started in the race. All these men struggled hard at the outset. They were all poor, but by industry, perseverance, dint of saving and by always keeping their expenditures below their re- ceipts, they, in time accumulated a fund, which in time enabled them to enlarge their enterprises, and as these had grown up un- der their supervision, they po- sessed familiarity with details that were of vast importance in amassing the fortunes which could not help but be theirs. What they have done, others can do in other avenues. Perhaps there is nothing in furs, glue or in the business in which MT. Cir ard made his wealth, but just as good opportunities are constantly presenting themselves, if the same means are used. The young man who expects to jump from the lowest round of the ladder of fortune to the top seems to for get that these men underwent years of self-denial and strict economy before they began to make headway and he will have to de the same if he is determined to succeed.
