It amuses us to see a country
newspaper defending candidate
for state Office, by quoting a
report from an expert account
ant, and less than two years ago
this same newspaper made a la
bored effort of two columns to
show that this same expert ac-
countant could not make correct
figures, in another case 1t is
surely consistency in great big
chunks.

HON. VERNON i. ROSE
a Formidable Rival for Congress-.
man Chesfer !. long.

From the Kiowa News-Review (Rep.l
The Hon. Vernon J. Rose, Flu
sion candidate for Congress in
the 9TH district, addressed the
people in the opera house at XII
owa yesterday afternoon.
While we politically differ from
Mr.. Rose on questions discussed
by him, we frankly admit that he
impressed us as ripe scholar on
economic questions a gifted and
experienced orator, an able de-
bator, and above all as a man
loyal to his country, anxious to
promote the best interests of his
fellow citizens and sincere in his
political convictions.
The principal themes of his
speech are the tariff question,
reciprocity, opposition to sub
sides and arbitrary laws in
favor of few monopolists ag-
ainst the many producers and
consumers, open markets, home
interests before all others, etc.
The compliments paid Con-
gresham Long by his rival for
the honor and opportunity to re-
present the district in Congress
were of the two-edged kind
forged out of solid steel. ground
to keen edges and pointed to pen
citrate to the quick. Aggressive,
bold, fair, fortified with intel
lectual powers and in the prime
of manhood make Vernon J.Rose
formidable rival of the present
congressman in the Seventh Dis
trict.
After the meeting Mr.. Rose
was shown about the city and in
troduced to citizens. Off the
platform the gentleman is affable,
engaging in his manners, and in
spires friendship and confidence.
He is man of the people and if
elected to the high aud influential
Office of congressman, he pre-
sumably will serve his constitu-
ents to the best of his under
standing.

From our observation the
Greensburg Republican, the new
paper at that place, is controlled
by John w. Davis, candidate for
Representative. If Billy Bolton
was there, he would digout some
old skeletons. Davis has been
defeated for the legislature a
couple of times and the chances
are that his will remain at home
this year.

Maternal Love of the whale.

No other member of the animal king.
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially II its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
the intention of killing it. for If this is
done the mother will instantly forsake
II. If alive and struggling, however.
the dam can be easily entlced toward
the boat to meet its fate. Knowing
tins. the whale fishermen always strike
calf if possible and thus often make
captures that could not be effected un-
der ether circumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware
of the snarlnG OF her youag she rushes
toward 1t, encourages it 10 swim awSr
and even assists it by taking it un,tAE
her fin. She seems to lose al regard
for her own safety and boldly attacks
the boat containing the wbVlomen or
circles about it totally regardless Of
the harpoons that are hurled III hpr and
enter her flesh.

of the San Francisco Chronicle in this

Mr. Schuster is a married man and
naturally his many friends in the city
were somewhat surprised to say the
least, on seeing such an advertisement
in the paper. A member of the Citizen
staff noticed the advertisement and at
once went with 1t to Mr.. Schuster to
inquire what he meant by it. That
gentleman denied having sent it to the
Chronicle and stated that il was part
of a huge joke that had been perpet-
rated on him by some friends in No

young man sent night message to Mr..

him up to deliver the message. Another
man in Vizalia, Cal. wired that he
