PRIVATE SECRETARIES.
Their Work at the Telephone Ia
seme<imes More Important Than
Their skin at 1etters.

| The success Of the fashionable wo.
mans private secretary in these days
depends much more on her ability
TO answer telephone calls discrimin-
atingly than on her talent for note
| writing. says the New York Sun.
| The private secretary gets a salary
Of perhaps $l,4oo or $500 year and
enjoys the confidence and considera-
tion OF her employer. On some days
she works overtime, maybe IL or IL
hours, and to be efficient she must
have at her fingers ends lot Of
knowledge that was never gained in
a correspondence school or included
in business tactics. She must super.
wise the household bookkeeping and
bill-paying. Of course, but her chief
duty is to help in social matters.
She must know the name, the
domestic circumstances and the social
rating Of all the people in her en-
ployers world. Being relied upon for
suggestions when extra guests are
wanted in hurry. she must be sure
to remember when folks have gone
away or have been thrown into
mourning.
When invitations, or informal pro-
jects are suggested over the phone
she mast know at once the best
course 10 be pursued The secretary
talks over the phone with milliners,
tailors, dressmakers, florists. Some
times il is TO upbraid and scold. again
to plead or hasten; again to dispute
bills.
Her main excuse for being is to
save her employer from being an
noyed or bored. Unless her employer
is a philanthropist or much con-
ccrned with business matters. the
private secretary need not understand
either stenography or typewriting,
but it is essential that she should be |
familiar with, social usages and all |
the newest wrinkles in etiquette.
There are young women secretaries
Of wealthy women in the big cities
whose attainments in scholarship
would not stand scrutiny, who |
secured and keep their places through |
charm Of manner and that mate tact |
and skill in dealing with people which
the employer herself feels the lack
OF and wants supplied

p q q

We see now that the Monroe Doc
trine is not written law, but simply a
declaration embodied in state paper,
inspired by sympathy for the weaker
states and the spirit of protection to
all the Central and South American
states which had established their in
dependence. 1t places the United
States in the position of guardian over
all the countries in North and South
America, and by it we deny tho right
Of any foreign power to acquire tor
ritory on this continent by forcible
aggression. It is the privilege of any
of the European powers to send war
ships to Venezuels to demand the set
tlement Of claims, and it is hardly Z
violation of the spirit of the Monroe
Doctrine to permit country to collect
it's just dues. 1t is only when those
powers seek to gain foothold on this
continent that the doctrine comes into
question. We must conceds to any
creditor the right to collect his bill. It
has nothing to do with commercial
relations and, as President Roosevelt
says, eve do not guarantee any state
from punishment If it misconducts
itself, provided that punishment does
not take the form Of the acquisition Of
territory BY any non-Amsrican power" !"
The first application Of the principle
involved IN the Monroe Doctrine was
at the time when Great Britain at
tempted to establish q protsctorats
over the Mosquito nstien Of Indians
in Central America. She was told to
keep her hands off, and profiting by
the lesson Of 1776 she promptly obsyed
the order. During the civil war, France
sent q military force into Mexico to
plsce Maximilian on the thrsns, but
no sooner was peace restored than
Napoleon III. deemed it wise to with
draw his forces and Mexico resumed
her constitutional goyernnent, cap
tursd and executed Maximilian.
In the Venezuelan boundary dispute
Great Britain attempted aggression on
Venezuelan territory, but just as soon
ss Mr.. Olnsy served notice on the
British government that persistence in
aggression would be equivalent to- .
declaration of war against the United
States, the matter was thrown into the
international court of arbitration.
Great Britain is still smarting from
the slap in the face given her at that
time and it is doubtful if she ever tries
it again. Were it not for the Monroe
Doctrine and the we'll known deter
mination of the United States to en-
force its principle, the South American
republics would have been divided up
between the foreign powers a long time
ago.
Its wisdom has been justified by
events, establishing as it does, the right
of the United States to prevent inva-
sion or oppression Of a neighboring
republic and asserting our title as
master of the western hemisphere.
Any nation that disputes our title will
meet with the same kind of reception
as has been rendered in the past to
John Bull and the Spanish Dons.

Commissioners Proceedings.

Before the commissioners last week
there Was a lively contest over road
l52 running across the Edwards &
Kerr ranch. The road was ordered
opened aud George Altering was al
lowed S24 damage and r. E. Edwards
was allowed $50. Mr. Edwards said
he did not think the road should he
opened and that he would oppose it
in the courts.
Road 153, from Lewis east to the
old Cy Roberts place, WAS ordered
opened and damages were allowed to
]. Fl. Slobohm $40 and B. F. Hanna
$50.
A bond proposition was presented
to the commissioners and accepted
which is explained in the following
statement made by Mr.. Ketelson,
county treasurer:
AT the meeting of the county COM
missioners last week, a proposition
was presented by parties holding
$40, GOO of city refunding bonds offer
ing same to the county for IS cents
on the dollar or a Discount on the
total $4,000 of $1,000. making the
bonds cost the county 3l7, 200. These
bonds are now drawing per cent +,
having been reduced from SIS to As
CouScub vi pdEtlcS
some time since. With this discount
these bonds are equal to bonds draw
ing five and one-sixth per cent. and
IS the county cannot get possession
of any OF it's own bonds until date of
maturity this is very attract i've in
vestment, the county having some
thing over $2l 900 in the general
sinking fund, drawing now but per
cent. per anum. The directors of
school district No. l also had a pro-
position to sell Sl5, 600 school bond 5
at per cent, but as they wanted par
value for their bonds the proposition
for the city bonds was accepted. This
means $500 per year interest on . Sl7,
600 investment, where the county has
heretofore been getting $40 per year

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Populists and Democrats VIII Test
the Strength of Their Respec-
tive Forces.

The convention in Dodge City last
week was a very interesting and not
able event. There was very full at
tendance, the best of good feeling and
the people of the city did everything
in their power to make the event a
pleasant one so that when tie conven-
tion adjourned and the delegates re-
turned to their homes, they carried
very pleasant memories of their short
visit in this historic city. There was
very general expression of regret
that through some unfortunate COM
bination OF circumstances the pOpu-
list and democratic conventions were
not i'll position to get together and it
seemed to be the impression of those
best qualified to Judge that the mis-
take was due to some oversight on the
part of the democratic chairman who
had left the state. The committee
from the populist convention was on
hand and through its chairman, S.
Hale, extended an invitation to the
democrats to endorse the populist
canc idate. The democrats appointed
conference committee and it was
decided to refer the question to Mr..
Babb and ask him if he would accept
the democratic nomination and run
on the democratic ticket. He replied
that as he was the chairman of the
pOpuliSt state committee he could not
consistently do so but would be pleas
ed to receive the democratic endorse
ment. The democrats did not feel
thai they could do this and SO when
thecon vention was called to order in
the afternoon all of the democratic
candidates offered to withdraw in
favor of S. l. Hale, believing that if
he would accept the nomination Mr..
Babb would withdraw in his favor
and there would be but one ticket in
the field representing the fusion
the delegates hut insisted that he
could not accept the offer, as he had
already declined the uomin alton of
the convention in Hutchinson. Sew
eral candidates were then placed in
nomination and Mr.. Cline of Stafford
was the successful one. Unless one
or the other of our candidates should
withdraw we will go before the people
this spring, for the first time in sew
eral years, with two candidates repre-
senting practically the same platform
and ideas but opposed to each other
on the ticket. This is the condition
that the republicans have long aimed
to bring about, and the almost certain
election of Mr.. Murdock has made
both democrats and populists little
Indifferent to the fact. The republi-
cans have expected to array the
democrats and pOpulists in bitter
warfare but in this they will be dis
appointed. For while each party
may vote for it's own candidate the
only opposition in evidence will be
directed towards the republicans, as
we recognize them as the common
enemy. There has been an under
current of feeling for some time
among both popul:sts and democrats
that they would like an opportunity
TO determine at the polls which party

Close Of sandhi,l School.

The SandhilI School closed last
Friday with an entertainment in the
evening, at which a good program
WAS rendered. Some of the patrons
OF the district came 1t noon with we'll
flled baskets and surprised the teach
er and pupils. Mr.. AL Clifford gave
the pupils a short talk in the after
noon, which WAS enjoyed by all. He
compared the methods Of governing
schools of the time when he WAS n
boy with those OF the present time
While the teachers are not as strict
or rough with the pupils at present,
he thought they advanced as rapidly
or more so than in times past.

could now cast the largest vote, and
by many this occasion seems to be
regarded as just what they have been
looking for. This will not be allowed
to engender any bitterness, as we
have worked side by side for too
many years to allow the false posi-
tion into which our leaders have
forced US to cause any disruption
now, and we firmly believe that when
the year 1904 comes around we will
all be found working in perfect har-
mony for the downfall of the common
enemy, the republican party.

Appointed Truant officer.

At the meeting of the board of COM
miSsioners last week E. L. Loso was
appointed Truant Officer for this
county. This appointment was made
under a law passed at the last session
of the legislature which provides that
an appointment to this position shall
be made on the recommendation of
the county superintendent, and the
appointee holds the Office subject to
removal 1T the pleasure of the same
officer. The salary is two dollars
per day for time actually put in and
cannot exceed the number of days of
the school year. 1t is the duty of
this officer when by personal know
ledge, report or complaint of teachers,
a case of habitual truancy comes to
his knowledge to give written notice
to the parents or guardians of the
child that the attendance at school of
such child is desired. And If the
notice does not bring about the de-
sired result the matter must be taken
into court and the parent or guardian
on conviction will be fined 95 to S25.
If the 7 aren't or guardian says they
are unable to compel the attendance
of the child at school then the child
must be proceeded against under the
law for juvenile offenders. Like
many other laws the value of this one
depends largely on the good judy
ment used in the enforcement of it.
In every community there are child
rem who are deprived of an education
by the Indifference of their parents.
and others who fail to get the school
ing they should because their parents
are unable to compel them to go to
school. This law provides an ade-
quate remedy in either case and
should receive the support of every
community.
