Republican Convention.

The republican state convention was
remarkable for the speed with which
it's work was accomplished, the vigor
Of its fighting and the number in at
tendance. The Leland crowd won out
on the organization and candidate for
governor. The Burton foil owing sue
ceeded in naming number of their
friends for the other positions. The
senator from this district was much in
evidence and in great demand for
nominating speeches.
The ticket named is Bailey, Nemaha,
governor; Hanna, Graham, lieutenant
governor; Burrow, Smith, secretary
of state: Kelly, Miami, treasurer;
Wells, Neosho, auditor; Coleman,
Clay, attorney general; Dayhoff
Reno, superintendent of instruction:
Luling, Sedgwick, superintendent of
Insurance.: Scott, Allen, congressman
at-large; Ellis, Pollock, Greene, Ma
son and Cunningham for Justices of
the supreme court. The only surpris-
ing nomination was that of Kelly.
who is said to be defaulter in his
home county. 1t is hoped, for the
credit of the party making the nomi-
nation, that he will be able to show
that these charges are untrue.
The resolutions endorse the admin
istrations of Mckinley and Roosevelt;
congratulate Cuba; endorse reciproc-
ity: favor liberal pensions; endorse
the attack on the trusts and promise
that if existing laws do not reach the
matter to enact some that will; APP
prove the protective tariff; favor the
exclusion of the Chinese, and endorse
the congressional delegation.

Club Notes.

Mrs. Smith made the meeting inter
esting Wednesday afternoon with
cart at the National Capital" She
took first the city itself, the most
beautiful in the United States, then
the Capitol and other public build
ings, and then tae Corcoran Art
Gallery, which gave the first impetus
to art in Washington. 1t is now
ranked third in importance of the art
galleries of the United States. An
under study gave the Congressional
Library one of the most beautiful
buildings in the world. 1t is Italian
Renaissance in architecture, and all
the decorations, paintings and mo-
saics are by American artists. The
Inscriptions are almost an education
in themselves.
The meeting Wednesday, June 4th.
is at the residence of Mrs. Hine. 1t
is the annual meeting and the election
of officers takes place.

Is This Right :?

Two young men were arrested here
Monday for riding a train without
paying fare, under law passed at
the last session of the legislature
making this a misdemeanor. They
seemed to be pretty decent boys and
were trying to get to Colorado in
search of work. The agent here was
the prosecuting witness. They pleaded
guilty and were sent to Jail in default
of ten dollars. In the eyes of the law
makers in the last legislature this act
must constitute very serious crime,
equal to several plain drunks, as the
latter only cost one dollar and trim
mings. We might better have paid
the fares of these boys than to have
put them in our jail until their fines
are paid. It is perhaps a good thing
for the sheriff if for no one else. He
will get to board them.

Under the Jackson resolution the
democrats will meet with the populists
in Topeka and ask them to fill out the
ticket and each convention endorse
that part nominated by the other.
The democrats will then mandamus
the secretary of state to compel the
fling of both tickets so that the names
may appear on the official ticket
under both the democratic and popu-
list heads as previous fusion nomina
tions have done. Should the supreme
court uphold the anti-fusion law then
each party can go before the people
with such part of the ticket as they
have nominatedA Or they can re-
convene In convention and fill out the
tickets as they see fit.
The dem ocratic state committee
elected Hugh Farrelly chairman and
Col. McCrum secretary.
The contests in the convention were
not, as is usually the case. over the
nominations, but over the question
OF adiourning to meet in Topeka be-
| fore any nominations were made and
for the positions of chairman and
secretary of the committee. The re-
suit in each case was something of a
compromise.
The result is somewhat disappoint-
ing to the republicans who hoped for
a straight democratic ticket with no
question of a contest on the validity
of the anti-fusion law. Should the
program be carried out as now out
lined the supreme court will be COM
PEELED to GO on record in this matter,
| which they would undoubtedly prefer
to avoid.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
By County supt. LR. Clark,

We regret that the editor of the
Mercury has made an attack upon our
city high school. Opposition to high
schools is common enough but it
usually comes from penurious prop
erty owners who object to the small
tax necessary for their support. 1t is
unusual for an editor, lawyer, a
lecturer, and a senator, to put himself
On record as an enemy of free higher
education. 1t may be true that
kinderg artens accomplish more good
than high schools, but because the
kindergarten is an excellent thing and
is gradually being made a part of the
school system, it does not follow that
the high school must be abolished.
Because man puts a new foundation
under his house he does not neces-
sarily tear the cresting off the roof.
Fini ishing touches are as important as
beginnings.
The proposition to cut the high
school course to two years would not
,
the conditions. There is a three
years gap between the common
school and college courses. This gap
was formerly filed by the academy,
but that respectable old institution
has become almost extinct and the
work is now done almost exclusively
by high schools. A high school with
a two years course is ju.t two-thirds
OF a high school; it completes moth
ing, it prepares for nothing, and the
cost is nearly as great as that OF the
complete high school.
! Edwards county girls and boys are
| now able to secure a secondary educa-
| tion right 1T home. They can prepare
to enter the state university or any
other high grade institution without
crossing the county line. Who would
take this privilege from them? The
Kinsley High School, created to fill a
demand, has attained a. high degree
| of efficiency for an institution SO
yessag. Already students from other
and less, favored towns are being at
tfzcted to it. AS a prolni nent ed
uc,tor has said: "a high school, like
a college, lends a peculiar charm to
the town in which it is located, max
ing it desirable place to reside
Our high school is now firmly estab-
lished and who shall dare to tear it
down?

the condition of the public roads OF the
