Last Friday was the quietest Deco
ration Day ever seen IN this county.
The weather was cool and cloudy, but
no real indicati ons Of rain-an ideal
day TO be OUT Of doors. But very few
people came to town, and even the
town people did not turn out with the
enthusiasm heretofore SD own. Is i;
possible that the fever Of commercial:
ism has taken so strong g hold upon
our people that they are forgetting
their patriotism.

der any sign they choose, let it
be roundhead or cavalier, Pat
rick Henry against the clergy
tax or Craddock against the cor
porations' mighty trust.
Moreover, when determined
survivors of the shattered COM
panies, regiments, brigades and
divisions of a routed Democracy
met at Emporia 1882, they look
ed upon their triumphant vic
tors, led by a commander in a
dead mans saddle, promoted by
the awful hand of an assassin.
Arthur, a New York compromise
in the choice of Republican lead
ers, whom few expected and no.
body wanted, was President and
Garfield was buried with the bet
ter policies of his party. When
the old guard, with the young
recruits Of the Jefferson hosts,
assembled at Wichita in 1902,
they looked from their own de-
pleted ranks to see their politi-
cal conquerors rich with spoils
and purse-proud with patronage,
led by another compromise New
Yorker in another dead mans
saddle. They beheld Roosevelt,
booted and spurred, riding rough
shod over all the good Republi-
can policies that had not been
inferred with McKinley's bones.
And history in 1882 spoke at
Emporia as it spoke at Wichita
in 19O2-no party ever elected a
Vice-President to the Presidency
who became President through
the death of his chief.
In 1852 the Republicans of
Kansas were naughty; corrupt
and intoxicated with their
strength. The party was falling
to pieces OF it's own weight. The
corporations owned the leaders
and the leaders fooled the masses
into a phalanx OF party blind
followers. SO it is to-day. In
this period of grace and good
crops, the propitious year of
1902, the Republicans feel secure
in their reign and alis lovely for
the old flag and bigger appro-
priations. The tax budget of
1901, imposed by the Legisla-
ture, is well-nigh confscation OF
the peoples property, and the
tax gatherer is the unwilling
agent OF the corporations in
grasping from labor more, twice
over, than any other State
Government in the Union dares
to demand and take. Let come
what may OF mere party names
in the fight that's on. The more
the people OF all parties learn of
Mr.. Craddock, the Mayor of
Kansas City, Kansas, who is the
Democratic nominee for Cover
nor, the better, the surer are
his chances for election.-Paola

PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The war of the brutal Briton
for the possession of the South
African gold and diamond fields,
is at an end. Peace was declared
last Monday, June I'd. The
Beers get self-government, a re-
endorsement for their losses, no
war taxes, amnesty to all, re-
lease of all prisoners, and the
Dutch language to be taught in
schools. The British hold the
republic as a colony. and the
Beers recognize Edward as their
king.
Peace at last, but at what a
cost?
The warlasted two years, seven
months and twenty days.
Total available fighting force
of Beers (estimated), $4,000.
Total number of British troops
engaged from first to last, 5OO,-
600.
The British lost 1,O64 officers,
81, ,142 men and sent home in
valided 5000 officers and 1925
men.
Beers were reduced at the close
of war to 5000 men. Their loss
es are not exactly known.
Boer prisoners at Ceylon, ST.
Helena, Bermuda and the Cape
number 10000 officers and men.
England's loss in treasure in
subduing the Dutch republics is
estimated at 81, ,25O, 100000.
Verify, the cost ''staggers hui
manity."

oRADDooK FOR GOVERNOR.

What the Democrats did at
Emporia in 1892. they repeated
at Wichita in 1902. Craddock
will beGlick over again. Nobody
boked for Click twenty years
ago; nobody looked for Grad
dock to-day. The occasion
comes, the man appears.
John Martin, then the favorite
Democrat of Topeka, was the
forechosen nominee of Democracy
at Emporia in 1882, but a des-
tiny that shapes the ends Of
parties, as OF individuals, CROUCH
hew them as we WILL" decided
that Click should lead the scat
tered and well-nigh broken hosts.
His nomination, though scoffed
at on first blush, brought at last
scoffers to their knees in repen-
tance. He was elected.
David Overmyer, now the
favorite Democrat of Topeka,
was the fOrechosen nominee OF
Democracy at Wichita in 1902,
but fate that decides the battles
of the forum and the field alike,
said it must be another and the
oracles whispered Craddock.
Thus it is in politics, the unex-
pected is ever happening. In the
balmy summer OF "eighty-two, "
few had the hardihood to pre-
dict Clicks success, but in sober
October, when acknowledgement
calls for decision, there were
hosts cheering for and conjuring
with the name OF Click. So, now
when June comes straying in
with the roses OF Republican
pomp and power, there are but
here and there a minority ot
watchful, determined voters say
ing that Mayor Craddock
another Missouri River stalwart
will be Governor of Kansas
But wait; the simple song hum
