doesn't have to take back seat for
any organization in existence.
Burton WIN Probably DO Free.

Judge Adams, of st. Louis, has de-
cided to give Senator Burton, of
Kansas, a new deal and has permitted
him to appeal his case direct to the
United States supreme court. Bur-
toms appeal bond was fixed at SIC, 900,
which was promptly furnished. 1t
will be noted that in this appeal there
is no contention that Burton did not
receive the money for which he was
convicted but the contention is that
the crime, If any, was committed in
Washington, as that was where the
checks were cashed. This opens up
the case from a new standpoint and
creates the impression generally that
the presiden. has decided to let up on
the senator and an easy way is being
sought. The chances are that the
statute of limitations, or lack of iuris-
diction, will yet be doing business in
this case. You see it looks pretty bad
to see prominent republican senator
convicted of crime and expelled
from the senate, particularly the man
who headed the delegation at Phila-
delphia that drafted Roosevelt into
the vice presidency, thus opening the
gate to the presidential garden. No,
it won't do to send Burton to the pen
itentiary. 1t would have a tendency
to make some other senator's, who
ought to be !, in the same place, feel
uneasy in their seats and they might
not sleep well at nights.

The Boston banquet to the Fill
pinos, given by Governor Bates,
turned into an anti-imperialist sym
postum. Mayor Collins told the visit
ors that their right to se1f-government
is as true as the Declaration of indie
pendence or the Sermon on the Mount.
He said: "Filipinos have right to
work out their own salvation, and if
they are not over-successful in doing
it, it is none of our business, any
more than it is the concern of the
Filipinos that we are not working out
all our own problems in the most per-
feet way" He advised them to carry
home with them the lesson of liberty
put into effect at Bunker Hill. Presi-
dent Whitney of the Chamber of Com
merce spoke along the same lines.
The Filipinos took up the argument
where ne left it and pleaded earnestly
for the same right to self government

That Prohibition Amendment.

When the democrats and populists
had control of the state government it
was surprising how few things they
were able to accomplish that would
stand the test of a republican supreme
court. About everything they did
fact is that under republican policies
most things the corporations don't
want done are unconstitutional. Well,
we expected it. 1t is distinct shock
to us, however, to find that the repub-
licans can't do things in legislative
matters so that they will stick, as it is
we'll known that as a rule they do
only the things which the corpora
tions want done. Once in a while they
try to do other things, and. then just
see what mess they make of it. At
the last session of the legislature they
passed three resolutions to offer three
amendments to the constitution to be
voted upon by the people this fall.
Now comes the attorney general and
says that only one of these amend
ments can be voted on this fall for
the reason that the resolutions relat-
ing to them were not properly record
ed in the legislative journals at the
time of their adoption. The supreme
court will probably be asked to pass
on the question as to whether the at
torney generals Interpretation of the
statutes is correct or not. The attor-
ney general seems a guileless party
and when he so boldly attacked the
legality Of the course of these amend
ments ne raised ghost OF twenty-five
years ago which will not down. 1t
seems that some person, inspired by a
desire TO upset the existing harmony
between the prohibitionists and the
liquor crowd in the republican party,
went to work and dug up the history
of the prohibitory amendmert res olu-
ton and it has been discovered tina,
that amendment was never legally

Democratic Congressional Con-
VentiOn.
CHAS. MCCRUM, Secretary.


AT a meeting of the Democratic
Congressional committee held in
Wichita on April I, 1904, it was or
dered that a delegate convention of
the democrats of the Seventh congress
sional district be called to meet at the
city of Great Bend, on Tuesday, Aug
ust 9th, 1904, at the hour of IL O'Clock
a. M, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for congress.
The basis of representation was
fixed the same as named in the call
for the state convention, namely: One
delegate for each 200 votes, or major
fraction thereof, cast for w: H. Grad
dock for governor in the election OF
1902, aud one delegate from
each county, and provided that no
county have less than two delegates.
The committee recommends that no
proxies be recognized in said conven.
ton except as they are held by cleo
tors from the county to which they
are accredited. F. c. FIELD,

A Noted Lecturer Goes to the Bad

A Noted Lecturer Goes to the Bad.
Byron W. King, who owns a
''school of oratory" at Pittsburg, Pa,
and who has been reaping a rich har-
vest on the platform in Kansas for a
numbers of years, has assumed a new
role. Instead of appearing before
audiences, he has prepared himself as
''horrible example" for temperance
lecturers, and he gets there in great
shape. He was to lecture in this city
Tuesday evening, and fair sized
audience had gathered to hear him,
but he was late in appearing-in fact,
he did not appear at all. About a
half hour after the time set for the
lecture the manager of the local COM
mittee went to the hotel to see what
the trouble was, and there he found
King in his room, dressed in an even
ing suit, with his collar wilted down,
and general appearance of hard luck
or tough usage in his entire makeup.
Asked why he did not appear at the
hall, he replied in a maudlin way that
he was sick, awful sick, and would
not be able to fill his engagement, and
asked that gentleman to say as much
to the audience, which he did. Those
who had paid their way in received
their money at the ticket office, and
the affair was over. The truth of
the matter is that King was very badly
demoralized and could not have dis
tinguished a fine audience from herd
of Texas longhorns. This is the second
time he has disappointed a western
Kansas audience, the first at Great
Bend last winter, where he was led
from the church after making an in.
effectual and incoherent effort at lect-
uring. He apologized for his condi'
ton, and claimed that it was the result
of strong medicine taken for sickness,
and many were charitable enough tC
excuse him and expressed both sym
pathy for and confidence in him. Blu,
here he will get neither confidence mol
sympathy, and it is quite likely thai
his lecturing days in Kansas are a.
an end; before leaving this city hi
would cancel all dates he had in the
state and return at once to his home
at Pittsburg. Ness County News.

Macksville Papers Sold.

Word reaches this city that the two
Macksville papers, the Argus aud In
dex, have been purchased by John
Lii, of the St. John Capital. who will
take possession in the near future 1t
is understood that both these publica-
tions will be discontinued and a new
paper started. Mr.. Lii, since his con-
nection with the Capital, has proved
his ability in this line and will give
Macksvilfe paper of which the peo.
Pile may feel proud. That is good
location for one paper and by devot-
ing its time to the best interests of the
town rather than to stirring up strife
it can build up a profitable business.

for which the Americans fought the
British in the Revolution.

Elihu Root is one of the funniest
men that America has yet produced,
standing perhaps next to Mark Twain.
In his speech before the republican
convention he laughed in his sleeve
as he exclaimed, "All Americans
who desire a safe and conservative
administration, which shall avoid
causes of quarrel, all who abhor war,
all who long for the perfect sway OF
the principles of that religion which
we all profess, should rejoice that un-
der this republican administration
their country has attained a potent
leadership among the nations, in the
cause of peace and International JUS
tice." The Filipino and Panama
auditors gleefully poked each other
in the ribs, and declared it the finest
piece of irony they had ever listened
to.
