LET Us REASON

~ = B -eFt
Now, come, let us reason togeth-
er. After all that can be said is
said. After all just criticisms have
been given due weight and credit,
the general statement is true that
the present State administration
has been clean, able and business
like. That is fact which must
appeal powerfully to every broad
minded and unprejudiced citizen.
It is fact which weighs heavily
against inteirupting the established
custom of giving a second term to
officers who have discharged their
public duties in creditable man
ner. On the other side of the bal
ance are some political mistakes,
alleged to have been committed by
Governor Morrison. 1t is charged
that he has made some injudicious
appointments, particularly in Blaine
county, where he appointed to
some position or other the presi-
dent of the Women's Democrat
Club Of Haley. We do not know
about the truth ofthis charge, but
# true, 1t was probably a mistake.
But the things the Governor has
done officially are not the main
causes OF dissatisfaction with him.
It is his personality. He is lack.
ing in that graceful quality which
enables some men to wear peren-
NAL smile of cordiality. He proba-
bly, feels it but can't look it. He
gives the impression of lacking
generous Interest in other peoples
affairs. He imparts condolences
grudgingly and consequently re.
ceiyes them sparingly. His atti-
tude towards the leading party
workers is not that of a co-laborer.
He appears to have imbibed some
thing of'the mugwump notion that
every live, active, party man is a
politician and as such to be held
off at arms length. He has heard,
through the Boise Statesman, that
the politicians are against him and
he accounts that as someway cred
liable to himself. Consequently,
he is surrounded and victimized by
q class of people who, while seek
Ing for themselves every sordid adj
vantage that politics can yield, pre-
tend to be too altogether lovely to
mix in the filthy pool. Some day
Governor Morrison is going to
learn that every. healthy, whole
some, spirited citizen of this coun-
try is at heart politician. The
woods are full of men who say that
they are not politicians, but those
men would be mortally offended if
anybody else said it. 1t is in the
marrow of every good citizen to
long for public Office and any citi-
zen who says 1t is not in his mar

row, simply lies about Il. This
however, is astray from the subj set.
In summing up we find that great
many influential Republicans don't
like some of Governor Morrison's
ways, and they have good reason
for it. This is as far as any one
goes in condemnation of him. It
is both foolish and unjust 70 sheer
at this sentiment. The question is,
is it the part of political wisdom to
turn down an able and conscien-
tious public officer, who by right of
established custom is entitled TO re-
nomination, because of some traits
in him that are distasteful to some
men? Do not the case and the sit
uation demand broader treatment
than would be indicated by mere
personal feelings? Ought we not
to consider the matter from the
point of public interest and party
policy2 .~
After having met and conversed
with many of the more influential
Republicans in the State, we feel
warranted in saying that there is
in them all a laudable disposition
to rise above personal considera-
/ tons. And we want to say for
such men as Gooding, Hepburn,
Standrod, Borah, Thompson,
French, O'Neil, Bulge, Dietrich,
and many others we might name,
that while they may not be espec-
tally exercising themselves. in Gov
ernor Morrison's behalf, they GER
tainly are not stirring up opposi-
ton. It would, of course, be bet
ter if they were all cordially and
actively advocating the renomina-
ton of every member of the State
administration, but, and it is fair
question, has every member of the
State administration treated those
men in a manner to invite their
cordial personal support? Have
those men been taken into the con-
fdence of the administration? Have
they been consulted and advised
with? Have they been shown the
consideration to which they are en-
titled as prominent and influential
Republicans We suspect not, and
that therein lies the cause of an ap-
athletic feeling towards the admin
istratiou in general and Governor
Morrison in particular. 1t is in
politics as in all things else. Men
who insist on going it alone are al
ways left alone.
Looking the situation all over,
we believe that if we were the Re-
publican State administration at this
particular juncture. which things
might look different if we were, we
would cordially and candidly in
vite two or three representative
Republicans from each county to
meet with us in council. We would
be sure to have present as many as
possible of those we believed to be
disaffected. And when they came
together we would chuck our Off
cial dignity in the jockey box,
throw our hat into the camp kettle
and say, "Boys let's have this thing
out right here and now. Let's
have clean, straight understand

WANT FIGHT POSTPONED.
That's a Frisco Story Floating Around
About Jeffries.

San Francisco, June st leaked
out today that Jim Jeffries has ma te
a proposal to Jack Munroe to post
pone the fight fixed for June II, on
the ground that he found It impos-
sibIe to get into condition in the short
time remaining.
As the story goes, Bill Adams.
close friend of Jeffries, who returned
from Hardin Springs last Saturday,
approached James Coffroth, manager
of tho Yosemite club, who made the
match. and asked him to use his in
fu@Pcc to have the fight postponed.
He. told Coffroth in confidence that
Jenries began training too late and
that it was impossible for him to get
into condition in the little time re-
naming. Coffroth would not consent,
as he declared he had made all ar
engagements for June II and had sent
out all the printing, and he would be
a heavy loser If the fight was post
poned-
Then Adams went to Munroe and
preached Jeffs proposal to postpone
the battle. The Butte miner grinned
when he was told that jeff couldn't
get into condition, but he said he had
signed articles to fight on the 18th,
and if jeff wasn't in shape it was the
champions own fault, as he had
plenty of time for preparation. So 1t
is up to Jenries to get into condition
in the few days left to him.

1EAvENwORTH so YEARS OLD.
Judge Moore. Who Drew Up Charter,
at the Anniversary Celebration.

Leavenworth, June 9.-Leavenworth
Wednesday celebrated her fftieth ami
versary. Fifty years ago a little COM
pany of men from Weston, No, set
foot on the present site of LeaVenworth
which was then a wilderness, and stalk
ed off the first town lots. A town char
ter was drawn up by H. Miles Moore,
secretary OF the town company, and to-
day he is the only man in Kansas who
has the distinction of having been u
member of the original company. He
has the original charter still in his pos
session.
Judge Kyle formerly of Lansing
Kan, but whose home is now in Mon
tana, is the only other living member
of the original company. Judge Moore
was at the big picnic given in celebra-
ton and told the history of the found
ing of the town. Most of the oldtimers
were present and the early days form
ed the subject for many interesting dis
cussions among the settlers.
The picnic was a great success. 1t
was under the management of the
Business Mems association. Military
contests, such as tent-pitching, shoot
ing and bareback riding for prizes,
were INDUCED in by soldiers from the
fort.

Joe Ysagsr, a Cincinnati Boy,
Playing in Great Luck.
Said to Have Won Nearly
100000 on Two Races.
WAS A TURF SENSATION
His Own FilIy MimOsa Did Good
Work at GraEesend.
FOur-year-Old Filly Dainty Also
Carried His Money.

New York, June 9.-"Joe" Yeager's
luck is the byword of the race course.
At the Gravesend track Yeager has
been making the heavy plays that
earned him the title of "plunger." The
gOssips of the track say that Yeager
did not win a cent less than 900 on
Monday. This enormous amount of
money was Won on two races. He
backed his own hlly, Mimosa, in the
first race from 3 to 1 down to 2 to ],
and she won. He placed most of his
winnings back at a good price on w.
B. Jennings 4-year-old Ally Dainty,
which was ridden by the clever young
jockey, Hildebrand. This rider is under
contract to Yeager.
No one, of course, can say the exact
amount won by Yeager. But when
plunger appears in front of nearly ev
cry book-maker in the betting ring and
asks How much will you take?" it is
pretty safe to assume that he is not
combining himself to the loose change
in his bank roll.
That Yeager is reveling in an extra
ordinary streak of luck is illustrated by
a combination of circumstances which
were all in his favor. 1t is a question
whether Yeager intended betting heav-
lily on Mimosa. 1t Is a fact that he
did not accept the opening price of
to 1. His commissioners, however,
quickly brought him word that sol
Lichtenstein and Jack Mcdonald
were taking all the to l they could
see about on the FLY. He soon learned
that the favOrite, Uumasked, was out
of the way, and the disposal of John
McCues gelding made a race an easy
thing for Mimosa. Unmasked was not
permitted to wear bIinkers. He had
never raced without them, and his
trainer, Frank Weir, said that he would
sulk without them.
The starter, Chris Fitzgerald, was the
man said to be responsible for the ex-
pertinent with Unmasked. And it was
rather a costly experiment for the pub
lie, with whom Unmasked has always
been a prime favorite. The public was
overjoyed to get as good as even mon
ey against Unmasked, but they did not
know until the horses were on the way
to the post that the favorite was badly
handicapped.
Unmasked started without blinkers.
He did not act any better at the post,
and in the race he had no speed, fin
ishing far behind horses that he would
have beaten under usual conditions.
After the race the stewards sent word
to Mr.. Weir that Unmasked should
hereafter be raced in blinkers- Thus,
while the experiment was costly to the
public, it was lucky for Joe Yeager,
for his filly Mimosa led all the way and
won rather cleverly- Yeager, as soon
as he learned that the stewards were
experimenting with Unmasked, which
was the only horse in the race he fear
ed, started in to plunge. and he was
still betting while the horses were go
ing to the post

Salina, Kas., june 9.-Robert G.
Crawford, the Stevens county man
who died in Kansas City yesterday,
was a pioneer of this county. He
came here in 1853. when he home
steaded the lands which now form Sa-
lima from South street north. Later
he traded this tract for a farm near
Assaria, and in turn sold this farm
and bought a large farm near Bridge
port. Mr.. Crawford left Saline coun-
ty in 1887. locating in Stevens county,
where he bought large amount of
western land and took up his resi-

wealthiest men in that part of the

Hutchinson, Kan, June 9.-Hutchin-
son and the towns along the Santa Fe
and the other through lines of railroad
through Kansas right now are having
about all the buns and tramps they
can handle There are too many Of
them hanging around and some means
should be found to make these fellows
move on.
Kansas has found out that there are
many men who come to this state
during the harvest time to work Kan :
sas has also found out that there are
many others who are nothing more
or less than tramps and buns, who
make the annual pilgrimage through
this state at the same time Ihey
have found it easy to stay in Kansas
towns about this time of the year
without the police molesttng them
But Kansas people know that many
who say they are harvest hands are
not of that brand and are nothing
but tramps making a bluff at work to
get a chance to wait around for a
while.
There are always a large number
of burglaries and rObberteS during
the time of the year when the har-
vest hands are floating around. This
is all laid on to the harvest hand rush,
when as a matter of fact the robberieS
and the other depredations are COM
mitted by buns who take advantage
OF the large number of hoaters in the
population to do their nefarious work.
The officers should look after these
fellows and keep them on the move.
The railroad yards should not be loaf
ing places. or Hutchinson a stopping
place for a gang Of hoboes. For the
past few days the town has been en-
teFtaining lots of tramps and there
is more room for them in the country
where the wheat harvest will soon be
ready and where the farmers can
find work for hundreds until harvest
time in the corn and alfalfa fields.
There is a gang nearly every even
ing hanging on the Santa Fe park
fence that ought to have an oppor-
tunity to move on toward the harvest
field or to any other place rather than
at this particular spot A great many
buns are in the yards of all the rail-
roads now and there Will be trouble
here In large numbers Either make
the buns work on the rock pile or
else leave town in a hurry. 1t is a
good time of the year to get work in
the country, and the officers should
see that they move on.
From all that can be learned there
will be a big crop of wheat in this
many men to harvest it. There will
be lots of work in the fields, but men
cannot get this work by hanging on
the guard rails at the Santa Fe park,
spending their time splitting on the
walks and ogling the women as they
pass by The streets of a city or the
railroad yards are poor places for
harvesting jobs. Work will hardly
ind man there, and if a stranger
cannot show good reason why he is
not at work, he should be jagged for

Prof. w. NJ. Davidson Addresses 254
Graduates at Emporia.

Emporia, Kan, June 9.-The annual
commencement exercises of the state nor
NAL school were held in Albert Taylor
hall. The class of 254 members was too
large for all to occupy seats on the stage.
The address to the class was by William
NJ. Davidson, who was graduated from
the normal in 1886. and is now superin-
tendent of schools of Omaha, Neb. His
subject was THE Public Scnoo1 Problem
Prof. Davidson paid a tribute to Samuel
d. Armstrong, founder of the institute for
negro students in Hampton, Va. He said
the prosperous condition of the country
and the obliteration of the north and
