furnished new examples in craftsmanship
new lessons in diplomacy and made pla ce
for our country among the powers of the
world. The history of such a generation
deserves our study, as the generation itself
deserves our gratitude and praise. To COM
prehend such history we must know the
dominant thought.
This generation had its prophets as well
as its leaders. Daniel Webster gave a new
Interpretation to the constitution when he
declared for Liberty and Union-One and
InSeparable.' Abraham Lincoln formulated
the political dogma that 'Ahouse divided
against itself must fall These utterances,
expressive of one idea, became the rally
ing cry of a. generation and the controlling
purpose of its life and strife. Out of this
thought came Gettysburg, where the gen
GRAFTON was invincible; and Appomattox,
where it was triumphant.
But Gettysburg was not the climax of
power nor Appomattox the climax of
glory. The dominating purpose was still
in the heart of this generation. To firmly
cement all parts of the land into one COM
plete whole was now its high ambition.
So, with irresistible force it swept upward
to the lakes and downward to the seas and
westward to the mountains. In the trac ok
of its pathways there arose new cities and
great commemorative. 1t conquered the

PLEA FOR ROOSEVELT.
@. G. Coleman Says the President
Should Succeed Himself

One of the men who stands a good
chance of being the next attorney gem
eral spoke on "A Western Man for
President He is c. c. Coleman, of
Clay Center. He said:
"a great majority of our presidents
have been chosen from the conserva-
tive east, where men make haste slowly
and do things as their grandfathers did
them. 1t has been only in emergencies,
and in crises, whose mi lightly problems
made men stand in awe and forget
state lines and conservatism. that this
rule has been broken. In 1860, Illinois
was as truly western as Colorado is
now. But a great emergency was upon
our country with its appalling prob
lens. None but a Titan could grappls
them. and the great heart of the peo-
pie found him in Illinois. He was the
pillar of the peoples hope, the center of
the worlds desire Eight years later
again our people faced an emergency:
to heal with the balm of peace the
wounds of war, to guide the ship of
state through and past the commissions
and whirlpoolS of reconstruction, the
rehabilitation and rebuilding of COM
monwealths wrecked and ruined by
war, and the blunders worse than
crimes which followed it. The prob
lens were too mighty for untried the
orists; the dangers too terrible for mere
politicians. The people needed and
called for a leader with a hand of iron
and a heart of oak Again they found

may not be different in principle, but
they have become far more intricate
and correspondingly broader and deeper
and universally related We who would
enter into active politics must adopt a
policy of Self-expanSion to correspond
with the new situation and become able
to cope with the new questions and the
wider relation and carry them to sue
cess by moral and mental culture.
THE republic is no longer a figure of
Illustration. it has become the standard
of measurement and the criterion of the
worlds advancement, and we with it.
This means that, instead of the old way
of things, when a man was promoted
solely on the principle of patronage, a
new and deeper test has been insti-
tuted. Fitness for the discharge of
worldwide duties, ability to settle con-
tinental difficulties, and vie in culture
and outrival in integrity the rest of
the world in order to succeed.
One of the first questions now asked
of a man seeking an election or an
appointment is, What is his record? Is
he clean, strong and honest through and
through?' If the lucidity of his record
is not such that the light shines through
clear and strong it hurts our Teddys
eyes and he looks some other way. He
is right. This new feature has not been
in strong evidence long, but it has come
to stay. 1t is SO pronounced already in
national politics that all who look that
way can see it.
There is a distinctly growing ethical
corresponding ethical and social Gull
ture. Business must recognize it. Pol
itics must not only admit it but elevate
it to the highest power of influence. 1t
is fortunate for US that it comes in our
day. Self-culture in itself is a duty of
universal obligation, and it's aim should
be to develop the soul powers into COM
pleteness and harmony Self-culture is
the duty of every man. He owes it to
himself to advance, and by so doing
become a better and a stronger man.
He owes it to the widening circle of
human relationship, and above all to
the new world republic. Our political
example will settle the nature of our
outer civilization. Suppose our repre-
sentatives in the Philippines fail to
set high examples of culture and hon.
esty, the whole destiny of our new pos
sessions will be changed. We thrashed
Spain for her barbarism and dishonesty
and treachery, and we must vindicate
our integrity in doing so, OF go down

Walker would be chosen congressman
from the First district In his speech he
said:
Ever since man ceased his nomadic ten
denotes and settled down to occupy any
portion of the earth's surface as his ha-
bitual abiding place, it has been his dis
position and, in fact, his great delight to
sing and crate the praises of his chosen
country. but 1 believe that it is ithout
precedent that anyone has ever been called
upon or has ever undertaken to prophesy
the future of a great commonwealth like
Kansas in ten minutes. 1t would be just
as reasonable to expect one to draw the
cork from one of BeaumOntS most active
gushers. fill his little lamp from it's flow
ing geyser and return that cork in time
to prevent the waste of any oil. as to ask
a Kansas man in the time limited to fore
tell, even in a superficial way, the posi-
bilities of great state like this.
