The War Cry, ''To The Res

The political dictator Of the repub-
lican party of this county, who by the
grace of Reeder holds down the fat
office of Post Master of this city to-
gether with his satellites, has recently
made Very careful examination of
the political horiz IN, anil is not at all
satisfied with its appearance. They
are thoroughly alarmed. They have
discovered vast multitude of angry
Threatening and ominous looking
clouds, that clearly and ulmiSt akabiy
portend disastrous defeat To their
long foStered and cherished hope, that
of electing their man Jack TO the legiS-
lature, unless something is immedi-
atefy done to 'Scounteract the ap-
preaching storm. H.
The dictator alone by himself, and
while looking out of his south window
of his Office, meditates on the present
and past as follows: For long, time
have had Reeder under my absolute
control, and with it his aid, assistance
and influence without stint or limit.
By and through it l have secured
control of the federal patronage of
this Congressional District. No post

federatotiicer can be appointed with

about it in vain hope of electing his

another term.

Now what do you think of that Mr..
Royce? And what Go the taxpayers
think Of it, who have read Mr.. Royce's
attempts to conceal the facts?
You will notice by the above state
ment of the treasurer that the general
fund had nearly SIC, 600 in it, that the
poor fund is not oyerdrawn, neither
is the bridge fund, and that the sink
ing fund is ahead more than 81 800,
while Mr.. Royce admits himself that
it is now Overdrawn more than s., 100
or a difference of 1900 in favor of
three years ago. Then there's the
county redemption fund Of s., 1852 80
which virtually should be counted in
the general as it was transferred to it.
That makes a total Of SO, 6S2 81. Thus
it will be seen that the Herald S state
ment of 1000 was nearly $4,000 too
small rather than too large. Now
let's examine the state ment made by
the treasurer in july 1902. Here it is:
Statement OF the Comfy Treasurer for the
quarter ending Monday July IS 1902, showing
the amount Of Cakh IL the trcatury, credited to
the several finds as follows.-
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1902-10-22

If the general fund was overdrawn
last July over 500, what condition is
it in now that the expenses Of the
county have been paid for three
months and practically no taxes paid
in?
By what authority Of law did the
commissioners transfer $1,000 from the
general TO the sinkiI g fund? If they
did as Royce says they violated the
law which is made especially strong
TO protect the peoples money against
the exactions of any bond holder who
might get possession of the cuunty's
bonds.

Gave Sage a Fright.

There was unwonted excitement in
Russell Sage's office one day last week.
A sometimes reporter, now stock
broker, who has not yet begun to handle
millions, had some business with Mr..
Sage. When he was through he said /:
"Mr. Sage, let me handle a million
dollars. I'd like to experience the SEN
sation of holding SO much money"
The veteran financier was in COM
plant mood. He handed out a package
Of thousand 81. 600 bills and enjoyed
watching the young man fondle the
paper representation of wealth.
THANK you, at length remarked
the young man, who Is somewhat of a
practical joker, as he rolled the bundle
up in q newspaper and took up his hat.
"HOh upl Stopt' shrieked Mr..
Sage, touching bell button. and in an
instant the Office swarmed with Mr..
Sage's employees.
II have had the pleasure of handling
a million, I" said the young man. lay
ing down the package. land you have
the anxiety of keeping it. !"
Eyes, yes" said Mr.. Sage, still
nervous, "but IL is pleas
ursble anxiety" he added.

Better Than Being Loved.

Love Is better than being loved.
This Is so as surely as that doing good
is better than trying to get goso. We
get more by giving than by striving to
secure gain from having. This is the
same in every relation of life, even the
most sacred. One who wants to be
married in order to be made happy IS
likely to fail of securing the desired
object; and it is we'll that this should
be so, for the object is an unworthy
one. On the other hand, one who
marries with the purpose and desire
of making the other person-whether he
be husband or wife-happy, is likely
to be success. At all events, such a
person will live worthy life and will
have happiness, or, what is far better,
will have joy, in the ennobling endeav-
or to give it. Giving is the only sure
way Of getting, and it is the only sat.
isfactory way. Eek.

Public School.

The commencement exercises of tn,
Columbia public school, held at tn,
Athenaeum last week, were attended
by a large crowd, and were interesting
/, throughout. The singing was un
usually good, and was one Of the mos
enjoyable features of the programme
The music was under the able dlrec-
tion of Prof. Floyd M. Hutsell, who
had taken much pains in training the
singers.
Thursday night the exercises were
opened with a prayer by Rev. A. P.
McFerrin, followed by chorus,

advanced grades took part.

class, after which Hon. W. s. Fleming,
vice President Of the Board of Educa-
tion, awarded the diplomas and gram
mar school certificates.
The address to the graduates was de-
livered by DR.. T. A. Wharton, who,
in short but beautifully worded and
thoughtful talk, laid especial emphasis
on the unparalleled success of the
public school system, and the great
and good work it is accomplishing.
By the public school system the idea
had been brought prominently before
the public that in America the right to
attain eminence is not confined to any
special class, but that all have an equal
chance.

chosen by the valedictorian, Miss Inez
