The address of Hon. Vernon
j. Rose, at Ellinwood, Saturday
evening, was listened to with the
deepest interest by a small audi
ence-small because the opera
house was occupied by show
company and there was only a
small room, the club room OF
the German singing club, that
could be obtained for the meet
ing. V. s. Musil, the Lakin town
ship committeeman, called the
meeting to order, and introduced
Judge Ed. S. Waterbury, who
spoke for half an hour or so on
the question of taxation princi-
pally. He was followed by Mr..
Rose, who confined himself prin-
cipally to the questions OF the
proper distribution of wealth,
the trusts, and their bearing up
on state and congressional mat
ters. He was given the closest
attention, and his argument was
most convincing evidence to the
fact that he is a gentleman of abl-
ity,whom we will be proud to have
represent the big seventh district
in the next congress. We earn
estly advise all readers of the
DEMOCRAT to hear Mr.. Rose at
the first opportunity. You will
never regret it, no matter what
your politics may be.
RUSH county republicans re-
solve for state ownership of a
printing plant to supply school
books, and pledge their candi-
date for representative to Gin
troduce" a bill to that effect.
That's easy-if he should be
elected he could introduce such
a bill dead easy. But if the re-
publicans should have CONTROL
of both branches of the legisla-
ture the Rush county estate
ownership" man would find it as
hard to get such a bill through
las for SNOWFALL to maintain
it's CONCEALED condition in hell.
The school book trust, the in
surance trust, and all the other
trusts are not tearing the earth
to elect such sweet-scented rep
rebates as Dayhoff, Luling and
Kelly only to be knocked out by
Legislation in the interests of the
people.
A SANTA FE conductor said tc
Mr.. Rose, democrat candidate

REED IN NEW YORK.
He Enjoyed Life There and Was
Contented.

Mr.. Reeds brief life as a citizen of
New York was doubtless in many re-
spects the happiest of his manhood. He
was fond of saying that after all the
dreamy and romantic days of the col
lege are likely to be the happiest of
ones life, since then there are no sus-
picions, little knowledge OF mems weak
nesses or the desperate inroads upon
friendship which, ambition or avarice
can make. He was intensely interested
in the wonderful material activity of
New York, involving as it does very
great intellectual power. Intellectual
processes of every kind were always
fascinating to Mr. Reed, and the ability
which contaminated great things
charmed him far more than did the
things that had been accomplished. 1t
was a marvel to him that men could
play upon the delicate, far-stretching
chords of finance without producing
constant discord. The swift, magnifi-
cent grasp of opportunities or even the
creation of them by those who have
combined greatly in the world of in
dustry or of transporta ton was a con-
slant attraction for Mr.. Reed, although
he fully understood that this was a
work which was denied one of his in
tellectual power. He would have been
glad had he known how to be a man of
action. He knew he was no more than
a legal critic.
He was not acquisitive, and it was only
late in life that he had any clear percep-
ton of the qualification which indepen-
dence in a pecuniary sense gives. 1t has
been said of him that he came to New
York because he was tired of being
poor" but that does not accurately ex-
press the purposes of the temptations
which brought Mr.. Reed here. He was
little tired of the friction. the jealousies
and some of the benumbing influences
that are in the train of great political
ambition. He had seen all he cared to
see at least as a. participant, in the Dip
plomacies and disciplining and organiza-
ton of politics. He coveted an associa-
ton where he could meet men of high
intellectual power and apart from the
superficial atmosphere of perfunctory
courtesy which is characteristic of much
of Washington life.
He found exactly what he sought in
this city He could not have gained a
pre-eminent place at the bar of New
4 York, for, while he was a good lawyer.
he was not a great one when he began
practice here, but he was sure of pro-
! fessional employment that would be con-
! genial, of an income from which much
! could be saved and of the companionship
! of his much-loved books and of those
whom he called living books, who were
the men of great achievements with
whom he found associations, not a
rival. but as a much welcomed equal
] a.
