A CREDITARLE VETO.
Under the head-"A Cruel Veto" 1T Manchester (N. H.) Union says:

CnueE the neeu-'A cruel Neto, The
 Manchester (N. H.) Union says:
 The action of the President in yeto- Ing the bill recently passed by both houses or Congress, restoring Colonel Edward L. Bailey to his former rank as captain in the regular army, will cause deep dis appointment to thousands of New Hamp- shire men who still cherish the memory of the old End regiment of volunteers and are justly proud of Colonel Bailey's record In the great Civil War. Nor will there he wanting those who will note the in congruity of the approval of private pen sion bills. ground out at the rate of certain number a minute, while a gallant soldier Is left to suffer under a stigma placed upon him in the piping times of peace on the western frontier, after long and honorable service in the stress of such warfare as the men of the present generation have not seen,
 There is much more of the same kind, all devoted to encomiums on Bailey and
 criticism of what The Union denominates
 total lack of mercy, and cruel and un-
 necessary vigor in this veto." In short,
 The Union makes Bailey out an exceed ingly ill-used man, but there Is another side to 1t. The Hartford Courant also has something to say about this poor victim of the Presidents cruelty, and what it says is not at all creditable to the officer who asked to be restored to the army. After saying that the veto was ''an exceedingly creditable act'' on the part of the President. The Courant adds this statement as to Bailey:
 He was twice tried by court-martial while an officer of volunteers during the war of the rebellion. Securing a lieu tenancy in the regular army in 1867 he was five times tried by court-martial be- tween that year and 1893, when he was finally dismissed from the army. Among the charges brought against him were drunkenness, insulting decent women, failing to pay his debts. public associa- tion with absolute women, embezzlement, etc.
 If these are the facts-and The Courant could have no reason for misrepresenta- tion-we agree with 1t that the veto was an altogether creditable act. It is proper to state, by way of explanation, that only after he had been court-martialled seven times was he dismissed from the army, and the bill vetoed by the President was one to restore him to his former rank in the army, as stated by The Union.
 It is singular. to say the least of it. that a man with such a record had enough influence or pull to put through a bill for his restoration, and 1t is equally singular that a majority of Sena- tors and Representatives could consider such a man a fit man for command in the regular army. The President may have been needlessly severe in the Ian guage he used in his veto. but 1t looks to us very much llko an instance where plain speaking was entirely appropriate It may be, too. that the President has been too complaisant about approving private pension bills, but however that may be we can see no reason why the country shouldn't approve this veto.

MAKING IT FEEL GOOD.

The dearly beloved Norfolk Landmark Todels ecstatically over the belief that It caught The Advertiser with its cum ningly devised conundrum about the horses movements It even quotes the encyclopedia to show that the animal can run with one end and trot with the other without getting separated-as if we don't know what the learned writers say about horses-and donkeys. Bless the brothers trusting heart, we were merely offering It an excuse for feeling calfy. A news paper published in the solemn old town of Norfolk must yearn with a mighty yearning for something more enliyening than a funeral, and in the multitude of our goodness and charity we sometimes toss 1t a ball of yarn over which 1t may display its kittentsh propensities.
 Hear it predict:
 The next time we set up a tar-baby in the middle of the big road, perhaps our Alabama friend will be less nasty in attempting to knock the stufing out of 1t, and will even consider the propriety of joining The Charlotte Observer in the convenient exclusion of the long grass.
 Don't you worry about The Advertiser It will never miss the opportunity of hay ing fun with is contemporaries, albeit we are not to be caught in its cunningly devised traps. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird," saith the proverb, and The Advertiser is too old bird to be caught by a net when we see 1t spread. But we shall always be delighted to afford The Landmark an opportunity for jollying itself and shak- ing off some of the gloom of it's sur rundings. We are nothing. if not accom- modating.

This thing of an editor putting his personal feelings into his editorials is getting to be a thing of the past The only thing that would jus tify an editor in putting his personal feeling into an editorial would be where his honor was reflected on, and The Ad- vertiser has written nothing that has of tended our feelings in the least We write this to assure our contemporary that ev- erything over here in The Times office is as cool and serene as ever, and our friendly feelings towards the "Old Lady" are as they have been for a long time past-of the most cordial nature But we would like 10 see that paper get right po- litcally and come out and say 1t would give Cleveland, Bryan.

Here Is this trouble in Barret and Zim- merman'S stables to remind us that the race prejudice Is always with us. White hostlers refuse to work with negro host lers When race prejudice takes the form of denying the opportunity to work, 1t takes the worst possible form. It may help us to view chaitably the attitude of our Southern countrymen on the race question if We will keep in mind that an race prejudice restricts the field of use full labor for the negro more in the North than in the South.

Celebrates Her Goth Birthday.

Soldier, Kan, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Manuel, of this city, has cele-
brated her Goth birthday. She was born
in Lexington, KY, in 1913, and resided
there until 1854, when she moved to
Doniphan county, Kansas. During the
border troubles in Kansas and Missouri,
she endured all of the hardships that
the free state people were subjected to.
In 1880 she moved to Jackson county
and has since lived at Soldier. Since
her husbands death, sixteen years ago
she has lived by herself, and objects to
her daughter or anyone else staying
with her She has about twenty-five
grandchildren and several great-grand-
children. She is a devout Christian and
has not missed attending church on
Sunday for several years.

HURT BY CYCLISTS.
Two Young Men Arrested for Injur-
ing Miss Jewell.

Miss Jewell, an aged lady living at
SIS Tyler street, was run over by a BIZ
cyclist at the corner of Seventh street
and Kansas avenue Saturday night.
Miss Jewell is II years of age, and her
injuries may prove to be permanent.
She was crossing Kansas avenue, and
was just stepping up on the curb in
front of the First National bank when
v. J. Hayden rode his bicycle against
her, knocking her down. He was fol-
lowed closely by r. c. Able VINO also
struck the old lady. The accident was
the direct result of a putting automo-
bile, which frightened a passing horse.
In attempting to escape from the fright
ened animal the bicyclists rode around
a hack which was standing in front OF
the National hotel. They did not see
Miss Jewell in time to stop.
Miss Jewell was carried into Morrf-
sons jewelry store. and DR.. Keith was
called. The old lady was unconscious
for some time. and it was feared thai
her skull was fractured as the result or
falling on the stone curb.
Both young men. Hayden and Able,
were arrested by the police for violating
ordinance No. 1897, relating to bells on
bicycles. Neither of the riders had
bells. Both boys called on Miss Jewell
yesterday and said that they would do
anything they could to show their re-
greet for the unfortunate accident.

TO STUDY SOCIALISM.
That Is Purpose of Club Formed at
Washburn.

The Washburn college socialist club
has been organized under the title
students of Socialism Club No. IL The
officers elected are as follows:
President, A. J. Bolinger; vice presi-
dent, E. Hale; secretary Ludwig Kat
terfelt; treasurer. J. w. Clark; librar-
ian, A. c. Heller; sergeant-aJ-a
Ralph Schnacl1e. The only two privates
enlisted for the ranks are Will Moore
and Norman Lands, making a total
membership of eight.
The first meeting will be held Satur-
day, November 81, and it is probable
that a room for the purpose will be
fixed up at Science hall.
There are only a few members of tbs
club who are open and avowed advo-
Gates OF socialism. The others merely
have tendencies in that direction The
object of the organization is to study
existing social conditions, and try tc
find some way to solve the problems OF
society. This is a very good thing to do
but it may take some time.

CHANGE IN ROUTE.
City Railway Changes on West
Fourth.

Permits have been issued to the city
railway for a change in the present
route of the West Fourth street car line.
The new permits authorize the company
to build a line north on Polk from
Fourth to Third and west on Third to
Taylor.
It may be the object of the city rail-
way to abandon the West Fourth street
line west OF Polk street, or it may in
tend to build west on Third to Clay and
return on Fourth. The company all
ready has taken out a permit to build
as far as Clay street. the present ter
minus, on West Fourth, but it is not
obliged to use this route.
It is believed that it is the intention
of the company to abandon Fourth
street west of Polk, and eventually ex-
tend the Third street line west through
the Keith tract.
This would leave two blocks on West
Fourth which are to be paved, and
through which the company has right
of way The estimates have already
been made on this paving, and it is
/ thought by the city that the company
will have. to pay for the paving now
