Allison Slips His Trolley.

Our contemporary, Charley Allison,
in his zeal for votes, got off on the
wrong foot in the Blade last week, on
the text book question. 1t is true
the people are having tc buy new
books this year and there is consider
able grumbling over the matter. Mr..
Allison seeks to make it appear that
our representative, j. M. Nation is re-
spOnslble, with the rest of the Re
publican legislators for this change,
and thereby produce prejudice against
Mr.. Nation.
Now the facts are, neither Mr.
Nation nor any other member Of the
last house had anything to do with
this text book change. The old Pop
law, enacted by the Pop legislature
six years ago, provides that new con-
tracts shall he made in five years.
That law was not changed by the last
legislature and they are in no way re-
sponsible for its workings. Only in
aS much as they let the Pop text book
law, about which the Pops have so
glorified themselves, stand.
The law may have some defects, but
in the main, is good law and Mr..
Allison has frequently taken occasion
in his paper to speak very highly Of
it. Now he seeks by misrepresenta-
tion to create a prejuice against Mr.
Nation for what the Pops did them
selves and Mr. Nation had no hand in
whatever. Such methods in politics
can only react on the heads of those
who adopt them.

Seth Wells a Winner.

Seth Wells, candidate for State
Auditor on the Republican ticket,
came up on the Girard train, Friday
evening to hear Chester 1. Longs
speech. Seth's intentions were good
but as the train was about two hours
laJe he did not get to hear the speech
However, Seth's Republication is not
of that kind that needs terrifying
every change of the moon and he will
stick all right.
BY the way, did it ever occur to you
that Neosho county should feel flatter-
ed by being given place on the state
ticket this fall? And that we ought
to manifest our appreciation by CIV
Ing Seth and the rest of the ticket
rousing old vote? Did it further
occur to your mind that Seth is
genuine Neosho county boy, having
spent practically his whole life in this
county? And further, that he is pos
sessed of the ability and right kind
Of nerve to make one of the best
Auditors the state has ever had? The
years of Seth's manhood have been
years Of constant growth on his part.
He has become prominent factor
in the Third District politics and
cuts no mean swath in state affairs.
In sending him to Topeka to take
charge of prominent state Office the
boys In NeoshO county particularly
know that they will always have a
strong and influential friend on whom
they can rely In any case of need. He
is competent, reliable and earnest. A
hard worker and a close thinker.
Let US give him and the rest Of the
state ticket boost that will show to
the party Of the state that we ap-
preciate favors in this part of the
state.

A Pioneer Called.

Last Sunday morning the inevitable
summons came to our good old friend
and fellow citizen, Buford Howell.
Mr.. Howell had attaiued to an age
seldom reached by man. He was SO
years and four months old.
He was born in Floyd county, Va,
where he grew to manhood. He was
captain in the state militia for six
years, reSigning in 1859 to move to
eastern Tennessee where he resided
till the close of the war, when he
located in Indiana, coming to Kansas
in 1879, where he has lived ever since,
most Of the time in and near Cha
mute. Early in life Mr.. Howell en-
braced the christian religion and has
been an earnest follower OF the teach
ings Of Christ during his long life.
He was not Sunday christian but
carried his religion with him in all
transactions of life. And no man in
this community was more highly re-
spected than Mr.. Howell.
He was quietly laid to rest In Elm
wood cemetery Monday afternoon,
after Impressive funeral ceremonies
conducted in the U. B.church by Rev.
VIM. Strope. His was long life well
spent and his good deeds will con-
tinue to bear fruit, long after he is
gone.
