BLACK
is THE FALSEHOOD UTTERED
AGAINST THE MAYOR.
Evil Persons Seeking to Destroy His
Reputation.

An unclean political campaign is just
about as bad as slot machines or any
other vice. Yesterday the uncleanest
falsehood of all was circulated against
/ Mayor Mclean, and it continues to be a
matter of surprise why the decent citi-
zens in the opposition do not sit down
upon it. Mr.. Mclean as a citizen and a
man, to say nothing of mayor, deserves
decent treatment and ought to have it.
His acquaintances all over the city. even
these who oppose him, profess friendship
for him, and yet they hear the BLACKLIST
and falsest charges uttered against him
and do not rebuke them. 1t is queer
friendship indeed when one hears a man
say that Ben Mclean is paying the ex-
penses Of his campaign by warrants
issued from the city treasury, and not
only not denounce the charge, but stay
in fellowship with those who utter the
charge. 1t is not the old time sturdy
friendship that should exist among
friends.
Yesterday the charge was peddled from
the curbstone. but luckily Jesse Leland.
city clerk, heard it, AS no warrant can
possibly be issued except by Mr.. Leland.
who first signs and always issues it, he
naturally felt that he was involved in the
charge and insisted on the man uttering
it giving his authority for it. After a
long process of reaching the facts it was
traced down to a man named Green, who
admitted having said something that was
distorted and twisted into the cold-blood-
ed charge. But while the controversy
was settled at its source it continued to
be peddled about and no doubt it was
shot with hot air into a thousand receipt
i've ears before night.
Some evil and malignant spirit is at
work against Ben Mclean in this cam
psign, having some motive in seeking to
destroy that enviahle character for hon.
esty which he has built up in this com
munity. But he will be vindicated. 1t is
up to the people who know him to vindi-
cate him. Decent people in this city
cannot afford to see injustice done to the
reputation Of a man who so well deserves
the good will of the community as Ben
Mclean.

Late in the eighties the elder Mr.. Lee
land died leaving the care of the wild
owed mother, then advanced in years to
Jesse. Not a sou did they have. Jesse,
by reason of an accident in youth was
crippled. one of his feet having become
deformed but that did not deter him from
undertaking the support of his mother.
20 chapter in the heroism of the struggle
of man for self-support and filial duty is
more pathetic than this boys struggle for
the support of himself and his mother.
The eyes of good men are always upon
the deserving and the eye of Robert Law
renee was on Jesse Leland. In that quiet
way of doing good which has always char
acterized Mr.. Laurence he found employ
ment for Jesse as janitor of the West Side
school house. He concluded TO become
pupil and a janitor combined. and in this
way he secured his education.

Jesse, like all men who have made a
success under extreme difficulties, ex-
cept possibly, Grover Cleveland, found a
sweetheart early in life and married
young. He found that it Was necessary
for him to have a business education, and
while still working as janitor came over
across the bridge every evening to attend
night sessions of a business college. He
worked very hard and at the end of a
year was prepared to accept a position
as shipping clerk with the Singer Sew
ing Machine company. For six years he
continued in this position. leaving it two
years ago to accept the city clerkship.

manifestation Of popular ointment ever
witnessed in this county.

STRUGGLE OF
KANSAS BOY
Jesse LeIand'S Combat for
Successful Life.
Mr.. LAWRENCE HIS FRIEND
Secured His Education by
Working as JanitOr.

Nothing is more fascinating than the
biography of self made men. Their his
tory is the history of the nation. In no
other country on earth, ancient or mod
ern, did more self made men appear in a
thousand years than have appeared in
American history during less than a hun
dred years. 1t was reserved for America
alone, to produce greatness and glory
from the masses through tremendous per-
sonaI difficulties. Lincoln was not pos
sible in any country on earth, save
America, during his time. There was
sometimes a time in almost every country
where a Lincoln was possible, but there
never has been a time in America when
he was not possible. There is a palpable
reason for this. In America the so-called
common people-the people who have
made themSelves-can always raise one Of
their class and kind if they stand to-
gether and act in intelligent unison.
BY a singular coincidence practically
every candidate on the Republican ticket
is a selfmade man. Ben McLain, George
Harris and Earl Blake, heretofore referred
TO, are self-made men. Jesse Leland, the
present city clerk, the man who was
elected two years ago by the highest plu
rality ever given to Wichita man, or
to any man in Wichita, is essentially a
self-made man. That's why ne received
such wonderful majority two years ago.
AS he has so positively proved whot was
said of him then his majority ought TO
be larger this year.
Jesse was born in Kansas, in Chautau7
qua county, in 1869. When child he
moved with his parents to Missouri and
settled within six miles of the "Arkan-
saw'line. There he received the rudi-
ments of an education in Il log school
house with log furniture, including seats.
In time they moved over into Arkansas
six miles on the other side of the line
and his father engaged in saw mill work.
Remarkable as it may appear Jesse, at
10 years of age, with the advice and
sistance of his mother, was able to carry
on the business of saw-milling when his
father came to Wichita and started a
small lumber yard on the West Side. In
1882 he followed his father to Wichita and
got little schooling here for few years.
But their prosperity did not last long.
His father failed in business and the fam
lily had to move out into the country
where Jesse and his father did market
gardening. He had no opportunity TO go
to school for there was none within two
or three miles.

NOTES ON THE
STOCK MARKET
Status of the Trade Given By
the DrOver...StOck-
man

The market for fat cattle and COW
stuff ruled just about steady. Stockers
and feeders are slow and. weaker. Thu
hog market was a little easier. Tht
sheep market is stronger.
There is no particular change in the
market as far as the ordinary ruri
of beef steers is concerned. Dressed
beef men were all fairly good buyers
and light and medium weight beeves
of fair flesh and quality found a ready
sale at fair prices. The good heavy
cattle are slow sale. There is no out
side demand to speak of and the mar
ket closed rather easier on anything
of this kind. Very good 1850 to 1900
fb beeves are selling at s4.S5 at 500,
with the fair to good 1850 to 1,350-ft
beeves at $3.50 at ATS and from tina
down. The general market is not sc
good, perhaps on the heavy cattle, but
il anything a little stronger on the me
dunn to good grades.
Receipts of sheep are light and there
are not enough of any one kind tc
make a thorough test of the market
At the same time the sales reported
all look stronger again. 1t is now safe
to quote the market on good to choice
killers, both sheep and lambs, as q
at SOC higher than the low point OF
last week. All week there has beer
a scarcity of really desirable killers
and nothing choice has been Offered
on the market so that the sales have
not shown up well on paper.
The following are average quota
tons: Good to choice wooded lambs
S6.75 at 700; good to choice clippeS
lambs, $500 at 6.35; fair to good clip
ped lambs, $500 at 600; good to choic
clipped yearlings, s4.40 at ATS; goo'
to choice clipped wethers, $4.65 a
500; fair to good clipped wethers
S4.40 at AIS; good 20 choice clippe'
ewes, $3.50 at 400.
