&xBY THE WAY~

About the pretty milestone brook,
since it seems that something more
must be said about 1t. The board OF
bailiffs, through one of its represent
atives, agrees that something is soon
to be done--by Monday, in all proba-
biity. The situation at present Is
not glowing, and nobody need be
afraid. Some of the AUDITORS on the
brook are doing remarkable things.
The big pile of rubbish and dried-up
stuff up against the brick wall oppo-
site the depot approach is being scat
tered to the four winds of heaven, via
the brook, and couple of shovels full
of dirt further up stream have also
been pushed off. There is still vast
amount of kindling wood to be picked
out of the ripples and put UP against
the fence to dry. Still, while there's
life there's hope, so it's said, and in
this particular case the brook still
goes along; Men may come, men may
go, but l go on forever" Tennyson
wrote that, years ago, on leaving town.
Yet we have, this week, the first
argument on the other side of this in
teresting question. Mr.. Barrows, the
coal dealer, while Directing somewhat
to the foliage in front of his windows
and the general appearance of the
stream, calls attention to the fact
that things are not so bad as they
used to be; that barrel of stale stuff
does not go down the brook every now
and then. as before, and that, in so far
as inoffensive garbage Ito the nos
trils) is concerned, the brook is doing
pretty well at present. He does not
mind a vacant sewing machine crate
once in a while, nor a miscellaneous
collection of barrel heads and slaves,
refuse of all sorts, including ashes. |
dye stuffs and the rest of the rubbish |
that comes along. AS an abuttor on |
the brook Mr.. Barrows' opinions are !
worth something. His argument |
is simply that every spring |
freshet, once a year, sweeps the pref |
ty brook clean, and that everything 7
begins all over again. He adds: /
What would the people do. who find I
the brook handy, if they We're cut OFF
from dumping stuff into it? You
don't suppose they would pay for
.arting the stuff away do you?" He
also says we may print this.

But on the thoroughly tested ex-
pertinent that a drop Of water a
minute, hitting the same spot every
time. will drill a hole through a big
hard stone, we once again repeat the
questions: Why is the MILESTONE
brook not cleaned? Who is RESPONSE
BILE for the delay?"

WE BELIEVE the solution reached IN
regard to- the placing of jail to be a
most satisfactory one, and as accom-
plishing the purpose that all wished
accomplished. While many Of our
citizens were Indifferent as to where
the Jail should go, whether in or out
of the park, nevertheless we have the
park, use the lower part for public
meetingsoof all kinds, and it looks as
though, it being the only place of the
kind in the city for such purposes. it
is better to keep it than to destroy it..
The DEMOCRAT has at all times been
perfectly willing for the commission
ers to use their own judgement in the
matter, and has not been in favor of
in any way hampering them in their
efforts to give US a much needed and
valuable improvement. We have no
sympathy for those who have in indi-
rect ways limited at injunction, or that
sort of thing, and have considered
anything of the kind much out of
place. The Jail will be an improve
ment to the town, and should be
built, and the men under whose
supervision the same is built should
receive our encouragement in every
particular.

Mrs. Lewis For President.

The Seventh District has an oppor
tunity to add another star to its
crown, by presenting the name of
Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley, for
the Presidencyaof the State Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs, which will
meet in convention at Wichita, May
5 to s.
The Seventh District is entitled to
about 100 votes, if each clubs, will
send its share of delegates. With
this array of votes solidly for Mrs.
Lewis, and with the support sure to
be Forthcoming from the state at
large, it should be easy to win this
honor for the Seventh District and be-
stow a deserved recognition on one
of the most brilliant women in the
state.
Mrs. Lewis is a lady of unusual
elegance, charming personality and
wide culture. She has had much
experience both as a member and
presiding officer of various clubs.
AS an evidence of her ability and
popularity, she has twice been Presi-
dent or the woman Sldte TIeSS
Association. Mrs. Lewis is recognized
in her home town as one of the
leaders of society and no social
function there is regarded as COM
plete without her. In, fact no one
else could be better qualified for the
Presidency of the Federation than
Mrs. Lewis.
We do not publish this at the re-
quest of Mrs. Lewis friends, nor is
she aware of this effort on the part of
the Argus, to help place her at the
head of the Federation.
We trust that the newspaper
'sboys" of the Big Seventh especially,
as we'll as the rest of the state, will
give Mrs. Lewis their support and
assist in securing this position for the
Seventh and to honor one of Kansas
most worthy daughters, who is we'll
known for her newspaper work as
we'll as her abundant qualifications in
other lines.-Macksville Argus.

WHILE the governor has fixed the
date of the Congressional election il
this dis1ict-May 26-at time when
all the farmers will be very busy, the
farmer voters should not let the
election go by default; but should go
to the polls and cast a vote for Chas.
Clyne, and against the candidate put
up by the governors machine, at
eGreat Bend. The election could
just as well have been called later in
the season, when the farmer voters
would not be so busy.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
REACHES WASHINGTON
Ends One OF the Most Remarkable
Trips on Record With Speech
At White House.

Washington, June S.-Prcsident
Roosevelt's memorable trip of more
than two months throughout the west
was ended Friday night at 1880 O'Clock
by his arrival in Washington. A hearty
reception on the part of the people OF
the capital awaited him. Crowds
lined the sidewalks as he was driven
to the White House, escorted by the
battalion Of high-school cadets. The
President cordially responded to the
greetings given him, repeatedly stand
ing up In his carriage and waving his
hat in acknowledgment of the cheer
ing.
At the entrance to the White House
grounds the cadets halted and the
President and his party passed them
in review. While the review Of the
cadets was taking place a large crowd
of people repaired to the rear Of the
White House, where the President ap
peared and made brief speech to the
gathering, saying:
II thank you very much for coming
here to greet me, and | have appre
ciated the welcome back home that
have received today. have been alb
sent more than two months and have
travelled many miles. During that time
one thing has struck me, and that. is
the substantialness Of the American
people. One can travel from ocean ia
ocean and from Canada to the Gull
and always be at home among ones
fellow Americans. thank you again
my friends"
The trip just completed has been IN
some respects the most remarkable
President ever undertook. Mr.
Roosevelt and his party travelled over
$4,000 miles on railroads and several
hundred miles In stage coaches and
carriages but not an accident marred
their journey.
During the sixty-fve days that the
President spent on the road he made
265 speeches and had 1t not been for
Secretary Loeb's firmness he would
have made nearly double that mum
Der. From the day the President left
Washington requests began to pour In
for changes In his program and 70,
additional addresses, but Secretary
Loeb in most every case said no.
