sas City and traded it for land and
then decided the land to his mother.
When judgement for the goods
was obtained against Mr.. Craddock,
he was found to be insolvent. The
title to this land was attacked and
we give below the judgement of the
court. the record of which can be
found in the office Of the Clerk of
the Circuit court at Kansas City.
"The goods purchased by the said
defendant, william Fl. Craddock, as
set forth in the petition, were sold
and transferred by said CraddOck to
Charles H. Vincent and Sarah A.
Magee in consideration of the prem
Uses described in the Petition, and
that said goods had not been paid for;
that the said William 81. Cradd0ck
was insolvent, and that the deed ,of
conveyance made by the said William
H. Craddock to Emma S. Craddock
was made to cheat and defraud the
plaintiff in the collection Of the pur-
chase-price of the goods so sold by
said Hogg to William II. Craddock.
Wherefore, it is considered. ad-
judged and decreed that the deed so
made by William II. Craddock to
Emma S. Craddock. recorded In said
records, In book B 20, at page 4, DO
and the same is set aside and for
naught held, and that the title to the
said premises be and the same 10
hereby vested In the plaintiff herein."
This is not the only case of re-
cord in which the edo right" can
dldate seems to have done decided
ly wrong. He got tangled up in a
case with a widow in which the
widow lost her little all and had to
appeal to the courts for redress.
Mr.. Craddock seems to be not ex-
actly saint as his edo right" cir
culars would have you believe or
else the Kansas City Courts are
very much prejudiced against him.
They freely call him cheat and
fraud. This may not be particular
ly against him as real estate man
but it does sound little bad when
applied to "do right" candidate
for Governor.
We have frequently noticed that
these fellows who pose as models OF
purity before the public and sound
their own praises of virtue and hon
esty will bear a little watching.
The Democrats surely made q
fatal blunder in placing Mr.. Grad
dock at the head of their state
ticket, and he has blundered every
step he has made in the campaign.
We are not of the opinion that pol.
itics as practiced in campaign, by
any party, is strictly according to
the teachings of the golden rule, but
when any candidate poses as a sup
erior article of purity, he should be
sure of his record.

arose.
According to a French ethnologist.
whenever two men met in former

up their right hands In front OF them
as a sign mat they had no intention al
attacking each other. This mark OF
confidence. however. did not prove
suficient in all cases. for n man may
hold up his right hand and yet, n he
keeps II closed. may have a weapon
concealed in II, and. therefore, Il b..
came the custom for the two right
hands to grasp each other, as only
thus could full assurance be given that
no weapon was concealed in either OF
them.
Formerly, therefore. this gesture.
