A correspondent in the Advertiser
suggests that Father Damien's portrait
be removed from the Bishop Museum
as 1t seems to be a red rag before the
eyes of Curator Brigham. That is one
way out of the difficulty, but not the
proper one. In case Of this sort, the
mad bovine should be relegated to
some other and more obscure paving
ground.

Persons touring Japan witness the
best side of Japanese life and char.
acter. The impressions CLEANED from
the fascinating tea gardens, the gel.
sha specialties and the numerous other
things to please the eye and fancies
of the tourist serve to blunt the imag
ination to the hard-pan facts concern
ing Japanese and the business and So
cial influence they are striving to ex-
ert upon the western world. The
United States Cncluding HawaiD had
much to fear from Chinese invasion.
on account of the numbers of little
brown men in the Celestial Empire;
but she has much more to fear from
the Japanese, not only because OF
numbers, but because the Japanese
lives as cheaply as his half-brother of
the continent and Is shrewder and
more dangerous business competitor.
The trustees of the Bishop Estate
are only hurting the Bishop Museum
by delaying action on the Brigham
matter. Sufficient proof of the guilt
of Brigham is already in the hands of
the trustees. All this red tape about
writing to the Boultons in London for
conflrmatory evidence Is merely a
ruse of the curators friends to gain
time, the hope being that in the mean
while the trouble will have blown
over. There are some things, how
ever, that will not down, and this is
one of them. Brigham has carried on
his campaign of calumny so long that
the noble institution in which he is EN-.
ployed has become nauseous to
large section of the community and to
all travellers.

The two Cinnamon, employed under
Superintendent II. E. Cooper on board
the Government tug Eleu, were dis
charged two days ago but were hired
over again this morning. For some
time pressure had been brought to
bear to have these coolies replaced by
citizens. Affecting to respond to pop

out and white man notoriously unfit

henchman now returns the Mongols to
their former places ON the plea that
an experiment with citizen workman
had proved a failure! We leave the
public to draw it's own conclusion.

on the grounds occupied by those two
structures to mar the respective parks

the new armory not be erected upon

Dealt, of Cicero Twist.

From The Weldon, tIlls.l Record, Feb. 6.
Last Saturday, at 1870 O'Clock, P.
M, Cicero Twist, the respected pio-
neer of Dewitt county and oldest
settler of Nixon township, passed
away at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. William Barclay, on the old
home farm, two miles west of Wei
don, The news quickly passed
around and the older residents soon
began to exchange "reminiscences of
their early life when they came here
and found the subject of this sketch
located west of town on what was
then a bleak and desolate prairie.
His indomitable pluck and energy
had been rewarded, for in after years
he lived to see the country thickly
settled and his landed possessions
increase in value.
But he knew he could not be here
much longer, so several years ago
he arranged his business matters so
there would be but little trouble in
settling up his affairs after death
had claimed him.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the old home place,
Sunday, February I, 1903, at 1890
O'Clock, P. M, conducted by Rev.
Harry Willard, after which the, re-
mains were followed to the Lisenby
cemetery, northwest of town, where
interment took place. There is
where many of our oldest citizens
and pioneers have been buried. A
large concourse of relatives and
friends were present on this sad oc-
casion, bearing testimony as to his
standing IN the community.
Those present from distance
were his daughters, Mesdames Anna
Drum and Mary Brown. of Loving
ton, with their husbands, John Drum
and Isaac Brown. Evan Twist, a
son, of Meade, Kansas. arrived
Tuesday, too late for the funeral.
Cicero Twist was born at Senacs
Falls, N. Y, December 6. 1919.
The deceased had IS grand child
rem and IL great grand children.
The deceased was aged 50 years
1 month and IS days at the time o
his death.

AN ACT
By r. B. Campbell. by Request.
N. d. OAMFbELL.
Rep. 1z4th District.

Providing for clerk hire for the
County Treasurer and County
Clerk of Meade County, Kansas,
and repeating Section 2, of Chap
ter 14I of the Session Laws of
1899 and all acts or parts of acts
in conflict herewith, in so far only
as is necessary in order to giveef-
feet to this act.
Be it enacted by the Legislature
of the State of Kansas:
SECTION I. The Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Meade County,
Kansas shall allow the County Treas
urer and County Clerk each the sum
of 5000 per annum for clerk hire, to
be paid out of the County Treasury
in quarterly installments.
SECTION 2. Section of Chapter
141 of the Session Laws of 1899, and
all acts and parts of acts in conflict
herewith, are hereby repealed, in so
far only as is necessary to give eff ect
to this act.
SECTION 8. This act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
its publication in the official state
paper.
The above bill was introduced in
the House by Mr.. Campbell, at the
request of Mr.. Black, our present
County Treasurer. 1t explains itself.
Mr.. Black claims that there is too
much ork in the Office for one per-
son and that the present salary will
not justify the hiring of clerk.
The Office now pays 5000 per veal
and the legislature is asked to make
the clerk hire $500 per year which
would make the Office worth $I7oc
per year. The same salary is paic
the county clerk and the clerk hire
asked would make the salary SI2oc
. per year, also. We publish the bill
, so that our people may know what il
going on, and register objections, i
. they have any, before it is too late

JOHN D. WEHRLE, ESQ.,, :
EDITOR OF THE News,
Meade. Kansas.

DEAR SIR
will appreciate it if you viii al
low me space in your paper neces-
sary to make the following brief an
nouncement relative to the matter
of disorganizing and consolidating
certain school districts in Meade
County.
AS the Representative of Meade
County, 1 was requested to intro
duce bill, copy of which has al
ready been sent your paper. which
explains itself.
At the time 1 was led to believe,
and think the gentleman was hon.
est in his intentions, that there would
ba little if no opposition to it by the
residents of the districts involved.
Later ] discovered by petitions and
numerous letters, that there was con-
siderable opposition to the proposed
legislation and having desire to do
only that which would meet with the
approval of my constituents and with
the consent of the person who had
requested the introduction of the
bill, l, today, had the same struck
from the calendar.
Now, there seems to be a desire
on the part of a few to amend the
bill in question, or rather have me
introduce new bill, providing for
the substitution of Dist. No. a.. for
Dist. No. I, in the former bill. But
1 also find much opposition to this
proposed legislation and in view of
this fact, 1 take this means, knowing
that l have not the time to write
each one of the interested parties a
personal letter, to say that unless all
of the residents of the districts in
volved in the proposed bill, can get
together on the proposition and rec
omend and endorse it, 1 shall have
to refuse to introduce the bill. 1 do
not think it would be right or just
to force this matter on anyone, when
they have no means of preventing it.
Assuring all of my desire to legis-
late for the good of my whole dis
trict, beg to remain,
Very Respectfully,
r. B. CAMPBELL.
Rep. Ia4th District.

In Memory OF Mrs. sleseI.

The passing bell has tolled the knell
Of a loved one, young and fair;
And the bitter grief beyond relief,
The friends who loved her share.
Tho sad hearts ache-tho' hearts may
break,
We yield, because we must,
2 To Deaths dark sway, nor say him nay
We can only wait and trust.
When Jesus calls, the flower falls;
Bnt it blossoms by and by,
For to His throne He takes His own
To dwell with Him on high.
The tide of years brings bitter tears
From hearts full tried and sore.
For still we love those gone above
Who cheered our lives of yore.
We struggle on our way alone,
Bereft of loves sweet pleasures;
We amoothe the sod and leave with God
The dearest of earth's treasures.
