Republican papers have
been forced to admit that
Vernon J. Rose and w. H.
Craddock, fusion candidates
for congressman and COVER
nor, are both able and clean
men, and secretly they fear
that both gentlemen will be
elected. They know that
the record made by the re-
publican party during the
past few years is very un-
satisfactory to the people of
Kansas and their only hope
for victory is a divided oppo-
sition. If they can make their
DISTINGUISHING act work, they
are secure. Otherwise their
time at the public trough is
up. It will be an evil day
for the people of Kansas in

R.P.McColloch,o of Anthony,
candidate for attorney gener-
al, was not Il favorite in the
convention at Wichita. His
name was presented by Sen
ator Noftzger, and on the
first ballot he received 80
votes. The second ballot he
had only IL, and in the third
throw he was down and out.
1t seems that Harper county
republicans do not fare we'll

According to the information
we have, the situation was
about like this: McColloch
knew he couldn't get it and
his friends made a deal with
Harry Bone wherein Bone
was to be nominated, and if
elected, McColloch was to be
the assistant attorney gener-
al. Bone practically had the
nomination, but at the last
moment was thrown over by
the Chester 1. Long crowd,
because Long needs the sup.
port of the eastern part of
the state in his ambition to
be y. S. Senator. The Har.

are sore is only a mild way
of expressing it. If Harper

LINCOLN ON SALOON SMASHING.

LINCOLN ON SALOON SMASHING.
The New Voice calls attention to the
fact that no less eminent lawyer than
Abraham Lincoln once delivered an
opinion on saloon smashing. The cir
cumstances are as follows:
"In or about the year 1889, while
Abraham Lincoln was practicing law
1t Springfield, fifteen women OF Clin-
ton, Illinois. after having repeatedly
pleaded with liquor dealer to refrain
from selling 70 tlleir husbands, raided
his saloon, smashed in the heads OF his
barrels with axes, and broke his demi-
johns and bottles. The women were
arrsigned under indictment for the
mischief done. They were without
counsel for defense. when. on the day
Of trial, Mr.: Lincoln entered the court
room, and was asked by them to address
the court in their behalf. Mr.. Lincoln
said:
"'May it pleaselthe court, will say
few words In behalf OF the women
who are arraigned before your honor
and the jury. I would suggest first
that there be change in the indict.
ment. 20 as to have it read, The State
against Mr.. Whisky instead OF The
State against the Women It would
be far more appropriate. Touching
this question there are three laws:
First, the law OF self protection; see.
ond. the statute; third, the law Of God
The law OF self protection is the law of
necessity, as shown when our fathers
threw the tea into the Boston harbor,
and in asserting their right to life, lib.
erty and the pursuit of happiness. This
is the defense of these women. The
man who has persisted in selling whis.
key has had no regard for their we'll
being or the welfare of their husbands
or sons. He has had no fear of God or
regard for man; neither has he had any
regard for the laws of the statute. No
jury can DIX any damages or punish.

ton OF society. His groggery has been

moral suasion of no avail with this fell
low, oblivlous to all tender appeals,
alike regardless of their prayers and
tears, in order to protect their house
holds and promote the welfare of the
community, united to suppress the nui.
sance. The good Of society demanded
its suppression. They accomplished
what otherwise could not have been

SMALL BALL GAMES
All Attempt to Make Them Popular

Much surprise is expressed by bowlers
from all cities who visit Minneapolis at
the lack of popularity of small ball

show that ten games of ten pins, If not

From time to time signs of revival Of
interest in the small ball games are seen,
but the renaissance usually is short lived.
Men from eastern cities at times try to
arouse enthusiasm over the less strenu-
Gus contests, but they soon come back to
the prevailing fashion of ten pins.
ST. Louis has been and probably will
continue to be the great stronghold of
small ball games, which, in the mound
city. share equally with ten pins in popu-
lar enthusiasm.
Roy Wooley now leads the high aver

him in this respect. Hoag is second In

himself capable of taking an immense
amount of punishment. Jeffries was
many pounds overweight and was slow
and unwieldy.
With the opening of the gong Jeffries
made a rush for Monroe, but his blow went
wild and the champion got stiff right jab
on the nose that dispelled an over-confi-

second round the husky miner repeatedly
jabbed his left into jeff face until blood
flowed and it was red and puffy. Jeffries
commenced to- fail at his time He sent
Monroe to the floor, but more from the
force of his weight than the blow. The
miner took the count and again mixed

Jeffries showed more championship form

opened with a swinging blow that sent
Jeffries to his knees and staggered him.
