dear people. Not much. The Mis-
ouri Pacific must help to make a
United States Senator because it
wants it's chief attorney, Mr.. Cochran
made United States District Judge
and thus we find at the bottom of
Mr.. Waggener's sacrifice of leisure
and time to serve the people for SO per
day something worth while, at least
to the corporation he represents.
Kansas will resent this sort Of rail-
road influence in the senatorial con-
test. The Missouri Pacific is an
avowed opponent of Chas. Curtis for
the Senate and in this opposition the
people will see mighty good reason
for electing him.-Topeka Herald.

THE POLITICAL PARTY.

The party is peculiar and necessary
institution of the American political
system. 1t is recognized by the Fed
eral and State legislation, as an in
strumcnt of vital interests to the gov
ernmental progress. The destiny of
the Nation is largely determined and
controlled by its policies and actions.
There can be no greater element in
human progress than good govern
ment. 1t is therefore, of utmost i'm
portance tnat everyone who is really
and truly interested in advancing the
cause of mankind should take an
active part in politics and should ally
himself TO the political party the
principles of which most nearly con-
form TO his theories of government.
This fact justifleS laboring for the
cause and tenets of the political
party. But the honest and conscien
tiouS citizen never loses sight of the
fact that it is hot or should not be for
the sake of bn ilding up the party
itself, or of exalLing any man or men
to position and fame; but that it is
for the principles for which the party
stands and for the good that may be
accomplished by the united efforts of
like thinking men that he thus en-
cages himself.
Political ties are strong and it is
right that the party should have d
claim on the work and influence of
the man believing in the theories it
advocates. There is a peculiar faSci-
nation about politics which allures
men of all classes, and thus the parties
often fall into the hands Of dema-
gogueS who turn them from their
proper cause. Hence, the necessity
for intelligent voting and recogni-
tiOn Of the doctrine that there may
| be stronger ties than mere party
'strings" and higher principles than
thoseIadvocated BY any political party.
Therefore, the plea OF the HERALD
is for clean, pure politics, for intelle-
gent voting and for high ideals.

The Missouri Pacific Railroad In kan-
saS Politics.

At the Wichita Republican state
convention the Missouri Pacific rail-
road became a partisan factor in the
politics OF Kansas. Railroad dictatiOn
long since became offensive to the
voters or the state who have at all
times generously given these corpora
lions in the way OF state legislation
practically all that they asked for.
The Missouri Pacific road backed into
the political game at Wichita for the
purpose OF laying the foundation for
the contest on United States Senator.
The organized ''gang' within the Re
publican party in Kansas was at the
time OF the state convention and is
now for Chester /. Long for Senator
and there is where the influence OF
the Missouri Pacific railroad will be
found. 1t was for this reason and
other objects to be secured that our
genial friend Bale Waggener OF
Atchison became candidate for the
Legislature at AtchiSOn. Mr.. Wag-
gener, a lawyer OF large practice, the
attorney and confidential agent Of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, would not
spend sixty Gays in Topeka to make
tax laws and kill prairie dogs for the

AS late returns come in. it becomes


As late returns come in, it becomes
more and more certain that
the amendment providing for
the increase of the salaries Of the
members of the legislature is defeated
The larger counties as a rule gave
majOrtieS against, while some OF the
counties having light votes were for
it. Many voters simply neglected TO
vote for the measure at all, and this,
perhaps is the reason for the failure
TO adopt it. The legislative body is
one of the most important OF all
assemblies and requires the best
talent, yet its members are paid only
the wages of a, common laborer. The
salary ought to justify the most
talanted in aspiring to q position in
that body. Can it be that the people
Of Kansas do not realize the Importance
Of the legislature and the greater inn
portlnce Of the. ability of its mem
bers? The people do not mean to
under pay, they simply did not under
stand. The question ought to be sub
mitted again

Death of rlrs. Ellis.

On Thursday at o'clock, November
9th, the community of Iowa Union
was shocked to learn of the death of
Mrs. Ellis, wife OF L. W. Ellis of Free
dom township. She died very
suddenly with hemorrhage of the
brain. On Thursday morning she
went to call on Rev. Green pastor
Of Iowa Union, and who lives near
PhillipSburg. On her way home she
became i'll and stopped at Mr.. Nc
Clure'S until she should feel better.
Not growing better summons were
Immediately sent to the family and
friends, but before they reached her,
she had quietly passed away. The
grief stricken loved ones could only
gaze on a mothers quiet, peaceful
face in her long last sleep. Kind and
loving friends did everything they
could to help the Sorrowing ones in
their great bereavement. Mrs. Ellis
had a host Of friends who will all feel
a personal loss in her sudden DEATH
and her kindly hospitality will be
missed by a great many. The father
and his children who are bereft of
wife and mother, have the sympathy
of loving hearts of the entire neigh
borhood. May they in this their
greatest sorrow, be drawn more closely
together and to him who heals all
sorrow and gives them the promise
that all shall meet again.
Rev. Mann delivered a touching
tribute, taking the text from st. John
IA.
And after the beautiful songs were
sung a large cOncourse Of friends fol-
lowed the remains to the grave aud
there laid away wife, mother and
frien1 to awake on the great JUG nent

Among the independent voters Of

the miIlionaireS and trust magnates

And yet they can afford to be strictly
partisan better than poor man can
do so.-TOpeka State Journal.

The Turk and Life Insurance.

One man was complaining that he
had insured twenty years before in
mutual benefit company which prom
iSed all sorts of things, and now the
time was up he received less than he
would have done if he had invested his
money elsewhere. A wise Turk who
was sitting close by said it reminded
him of a camel belonging to a friend Of
his. It was a most intelligent brute,
and the owner was convinced that if
he found really good teacher it could
be taught to talk. Presently a Hodga
appeared who said he was Of the same
opinion and wo ID teach it, but it
would take lones lime, probably thirty
years. The owner was delighted and
agreed to pay the Hodga fixed sum
per annum and big bonus when the
animal talked, the Hodga promising to
pay heavy 6ne If it'did not. A friend
afterward went to the HOdga and said:
"What on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you can
never teach the camel to talk" "Oh,"
said the Hodga, 81 know that, but dur,
ing the thirty years either l shall
die or the owner will or the camel.
Anyhow, l am all right, as l have my
fixed income" New York Commercial
