.GOLDEN RULE" JONES REELECTED.

Samuel M. Jones, mayor of Toledo, Ohio,
was elected the fourth time last Monday. He
is man without party, and was nominated
by petition. The Republicans and Democrats
combined to defeat him, and the newspapers
refused to mention his name. He tried to buy
space in the papers at regular advertising rates,
but he was unable to buy space. Notwith-
standing all this, Mr.. Jones was reelected by
an overwhelming majority-he licked both old
parties out of their boots.
Clarence Darrow, the great Chicago lawyer,
and Ernest Crosby, the noted author and re-
former, assisted Mr.. Jones in his campaign.
While Mr.. Jones says he is man without a
party, he advocates the Golden Rule, and lives
up to it in his business transactions and in his
daily life. While he makes no pretention OF
being socialist, but his advocacy of the Cold
en- Rule makes him socialist He is the poor
mans friend, and they believe in him.

THE trouble between tie Wabash railroad
company and its employees has been adjusted,
the employs winning out. They get fifteen
percent advance in wages and several other
concessions. But why should there be any
strikes? If the government owned the rail-
roads, better wages. would be paid, and the
workmen would get shorter hours. Then,
each workman would feel that he had an inter-
est in the road that he was working for him
self; that he was partner in the concern.
He would have no cause OF desire to strike.

w. O. CHAMpE, Garrett, Kas.
At two o'clock this morning, the chariot
swung low and carried our darling away.
Funeral at Olathe, Friday.
JOHN P. ST. JOHN.
Mrs. Lula St. John Page, the only daughter
of Governor and Mrs. St. John, had passed
away. She had been sick two or three weeks.
Nearly year ago. she and her mother went
to Detroit, Mich, where Mrs. Page received
surgical and medical treatment. She appeared
to have recovered her health. We have learn
ed no particulars Of her late illness, but we are
led to believe that her former ailment was at
least the indirect cause of her death.
The remains were taken to Olathe, her girl
hood home, and placed in the cemetery where
rest the bodies of old friends and playmates
gone before.
Mrs. Page was lovely woman, possessed of
many noble traits of character. She was high
" cultured, and her accomplishments were
many. She has written numerous beautiful
poems and composed several charming pieces
of music. She was devout Christian and an
effective worker in the church. She was model
wife, a loving daughter and an excellent neigh
Dor. She loved her parents devotedly, and she
was idolized in return. Her death has caused
an aching void that can never be filled.
We extend to the grief-stricken husband and
,,arAnts mr. heartfelt Svn1pathv

A BAD BLUNDER.

The Kansas legislature, last winter, passed a
law giving mayors Of cities with population
of $4,000 and over authority to appoint officials
to take the place Of old officials, even though
their terms haye not expired. This law was
aimed at Kansas City, Kas. Its purpose was
to depose the hold.over appointees OF Mayor
Craddock, so as to make places for Republicans.
But the legislature blundered in that it made
no provision for an election in Kansas City.
And the old laws were repealed.
But, then, it's only the "crazy Pops" who
make such blunders, you know.

combine against the thieves, priests and Levtes,
and let the war be interminable, or until there
are no thieves, priests or Levites
There is no reasonable doubt that II Jesus
had delivered the rule of action governing the
good Samaritan, had the Samaritan been pres
emit when the tray eler was attacked by thieves,
He would have commanded the Samaritan to
defend the traveller against the assault of the
thieves.
The1e is no doubt that the first impulse of
the benevolent is to rush to the rescue of the
unfortunate; and if it is right to help man
who is down, it is still better to keep man
from falling. If it is right to relieve distress,
it is better to prevent distress. 1t follows,
then, that those who labor to prevent the fall
ing among thieves arc more in line with the
doctrine of Christian brotherly love than they
who confne their efforts to merely the anchor
alton OF distress.
The man who has prevented theft has not
only saved man from the Inconvenience and
distress occasioned from the want of means,
but he prevents brother from committing a
crime. The service to humanity is two-fod.
If thou lowest thy neighbor as myself, thou
wilt use all thy best energies in arresting and
preventing all wrong doing.
Better hinder man from doing wrong than
permit him to do wrong and then punish him.
Better for society to adopt methods that will
keep all up than permit methods and conditions
that force large number of men down. Bet
ter be Socialist and good Samaritan than be
priest or Levite.
