Last Saturday twelve of the young
boy friends of John Henry Whiteside
surprised him in very jolly manner
by walking in upon him unannoun-
ced. The occasion was his tenth birth
day, and the small boy proceeded to
enjoy himself. There was a romp
in the hay loft, a trip through the or
chard, the apples sampled, and final
ly ice cream and cake which the
thoughtful mother had prepared
willing to eat. At five o'clock they
were taken for short drive and
then brought to town where they all
declared they had spent a jolly after
noon and probably wishing there
were birthdays every Saturday.

laborer leaning against his lawn mower in the
shadow OF a hedge, asked what attracted people
out there, replied with the calm dignity of a
rural philosopher:

Among the first to be attracted by the natural
beauties of Lawrence Park was Edmund Clar

several delightful summers in the comfortable
house which he built upon the hillside. 1t is

most striking cottages in the park. Mr.. Sted-

that it will become too popular a place Of
residence.

wild growth is the pretty cottage of Herman

SOME of the republican speak
ers may think it cute to belittle
Mr.. CraddOck's taxation reduc-
ton plan, to sling mud at his
record and Try to divert the
minds of the voters from the
contemplation of questions that
effect all the people; but when
they think the people are going
to be satisfied with such chaff;
when they think the voter is not
going to investigate those ques-
tions which vitality affect his
pocket-book, they are placing a
low value upon the intelligence
of the voters of this county.
The old-time republican ''confi-
dence' game has been worked
successfully upon the people for
about the last time, and they
are going to probe deeper into
the facts of the proposition which
is asserted by the democrats and
populists: That the law-making
power, the demonstrating au-
thOrities, and the IaW-enforcing
machinery are all being slowly
but surely monopolized by the
great wealth-owners. Ridicule
and villifcation of political OPP
ponents will not turn the honest
voter from a serious contempla-
ton of the situation.

on the Peoples ticket. Against
all honor and all decency this
servile tool of the republican
party thus sought to defeat
Gresham. But the matter was
taken before the Supreme court,
and in about fifteen minutes
that court reversed hideOut Clark
and informed him that he was
wrong in thus makinga political
machine of his office, and that
the name of Thomas Gresham
should go where it belonged, on
the Democratic ticket.

candidate for secretary of State,
has this to say about Secretary
Clark:

official duties without regard to
partisan political prejudice. And
another thing; [ will always be
found at my post of duty. Any
man, be he Republican or fusion
/ ist, will be able to get service on
me at any and all times in the
office of secretary of state. And
if for any reason [ should sue
cumb to base political influences,
if l should trample my honor
and manhood upderfoot, if
should forget my duty to the
people, if [ should SO far dishonor
and disgrace my state as to hide
myself like condemned criminal
in the confines of another state,
in order to evade legal service
from the courts ofmy own stale,
[ would hope and expect the
people of Kansas to improve the
first opportunity to repudiate
me and my party at the polls.
4 regard the action and atti-
tude of Mr.. Clark as disgrace
to Kansas and without excuse
or precedent in the history of
the state. The idea that the
people of Kansas cannot get
legal service on the office of sec
rotary of state unless it be in the
interests of the Republican or
any other political party, is rev.

JUDGE TON M0sELY.
Oct. 18th. 1902.

Oct. 18th. 1902.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
The Lyons Republican has
this to say of Mr.. Mosely:
"He is a good attorney, of a
happy-go-lucky, easy, good
natured disposition, pleasant to
meet and greet, but not favor
able to the decision of character
necessary to a Judge
A greater falsehood could hard
ly be stated in that many words.
[ am intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Mosely, have known him for
sixteen years. He is a man of
decisive thought. a fine reasoner
with strong decisive character.
Mr.. Mosely was born in Virginia
near the beginning of the Great
Civil War. His father was a
surgeon in the Confederate army;
they lost everything in the lost
cause, but after the war was
over and the elderly Mr. Mosely
was nearing the grave he called
his son Thomas to his side and
said: 81 am not long for this
world, and looking backward
over the great struggle, I feel
that the South made a great
mistake in fighting against the
old flag, and l want you to
promise me my boy that if an
opportunity presents itself you
will take the sword in defense of
that old starry flag The boy
Thomas went out to battle with
the world single-handed and
without means, for the war like
a holy frost had swept over the
once wealthy home and left moth
ing but poverty in it's wake. lit
is not necessary here to relate
the struggle through which he
passed; suffice it to say that he
educated himself, supplying the
necessary means by working
evenings and Saturdays. To
day he is one OF the best lawyers
in western Kansas. His man
hood, his truth, his honor, so far
as [ know, have NEVER been
questioned.
Did he keep his pledge to his
dying father? Let us see: When
the Spanish American War
broke out l happened to be a |
member of the Leedy admin
istration; he wrote me he was
going to the war, and asked my
opinion concerning it. l tried to
persuade him not to go unless he
could get a commission, as more
men had offered their services by
far than was needed. But he |
went, and went as a private. |
Major Brown told me that there
was not a better soldier in the |
regiment than T. w. Mosely. |
Yet the Lyons Republican says
this educated gentleman, this
dutiful soldier, this self-made
man, is a good fellow but het
likes character. Shame on such |
liars.

REPUBLICAN managers in this
county are concentrating their
efforts for the election of their
candidates for sheriff and treas
urer for the long term. They
are willing to sacrifice all other
candidates for those two officers.
OF course their candidates for
the other offices are kept in the
dark as to the schemes that are
being worked for the favored
two. But if some of the fellows
will permit a suggestion, we
would caution them that every
candidate in the Democrat and
Populist ticket is working for
the success Of THE WHOLE ticket
and for the principles it repre-
sents. There are no favorites on
the Democratic ticket-ail are
efficient and honorable men, and
worthy of the same treatment.
