II want to 60 on record as saying, "
lie remarked, chat we can't see any
thing in thi- howl demanding the
resignation OF Mr. Atkins from q fed
oral position just because his party
organization his seen fit to honor
him. You might as well say that
half OF the men in the party organi.
cations ought to 60 out.
II you will look over the list you
will find scores Of men In high places
in the party who are also the occu.
pants Of responsible government po-

man to be an efficient public officer
and q party worker at the same
time. In fact, efficiency in the one
ought to indicate efficiency in the
other"

CONVENTION DECLARES FOR
HIGH PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
Tariff Plank UphOlds Protection.

The tariff plank is as follows:
Protection which guards and devel-
OPS ourindustries l. a "srdiralpohcy
OF the Republican party. The meas
ure OF protection should always, at
least, equal the difference In the cost
OF production at home and abroad.
Weinsistupon the maintenance ofthe
policy of protection, and, therefore,
rates OF duty should be readiusted
only when public interest demands
their alteration, but this work can
not safely be committed to any other
hands than those Of the Republican
party. To intrust to the Democratic
party Ia to invite disaster. Whether,
as In 1892, the Democratic party de-
clsred the protective tariff unconsti-
tutional or whether 1t demands tariff
reform or tariff revision, Its real OBJ
ject Is always the destruction Of the
protective system. However, spec
ious the name, the purpose is ever
the same. A Democratic tariff has
always been followed by business ad-
versity; Republican tariff by bust,
ness prosperity. To a Republican
Congress and a Republican President
this great question can be safely In
trusted. When the only iree.trade
country among the great nations
sgitates a return to protection, the
chief protective country should not
islter In maintaining 1t.

CORTELY0U SAYS
HE WILL BE BOSS

Chicago, June 23.-George B. Cor
telyou Was chosen chairman OF the
Republican national committee at a
meeting held today just after the
adjournment OF the convention.
Ia thanking the committee for the
honor, he told the members that,
while he would be glad to have the
benefit of their advice and counsel,
he intended to be chairman in fact,
and would accept no dictation from
anyone, high or low.
He told them that the friends OF the
late chairman, Mr.. Hanna, were his
best friends, and he asked for the
same measure Of confidence and sup.
p )rt that had been given the last
chairman. In conclusion he sought
the advice OF both old and new men,
bsrs.
Mr.. Cortelyou made no formal state
ment OF his plans. He resigned as
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor as
soon as he was elected chairman, the
resignation to take effect as soon as
his successor qualities, which will be
about July l. Secretary Cortelyou
will not give any active time
to political matters until he retires

C0WHERD ON THE PLATFORM
II Establishes a Record for Tim.
ldity and Evasion, He Says.

Washington, June 23.-Concerning
the national platform OF the Repub-
lican party, adopted at Chicago,
Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic
congressional committee said:
Heretofore the Republican party
has had a record for boldness. At
Chicago 1t established a record for
timidity and evasion. The platform
is remarkable mainly for what it does
not say. The labor situation is as
acute as at any time In our history,
yet there Is no announcement in re-
gard to it.
There is no longer war In the Phil
ippines. Surely the country Is enti-
tied at least to know what is to be
the future policy as to those islands
the Philippine plank does not dis
close it.
The tariff plank is an open Straddle
to be used as promise of reduc-
ton OF duties to the voters and a
pledge OF their maintenance to the
manufacturers. Governor Cummins
says, 1t iustifies the Iowa idea. Gen.
Grosvenor says, 1T is a stand pat
plank Chairman Payne says, 1T
leaves the question open.' 1t was
evidently not intended as a plank,
but q trap.
The platform says: Our admins
tration OF the great departments Of
the government has been honest.
This, in the face OF the notorious
frauds discovered in the postoffice
departments; the scandals In the
land and Indian bureaus which the
Secretary Of the Interior is conceal.

forced adjournment of congress In
order to prevent any investigation,
must be taken either as sarcasm OF

McKinley's noble utterances above
Southern graves, his openly recog
nized policy Of a white ruleior south

men to sign the death Of sectional

Crumpacker resolution, discarded BY

IN MEMORIAM,

Hon. Edward P. Thompson, who was
yesterday laid to rest in Maple Grove
cemetery, was the oldest of ten children
and was born in Thompsontown, Pa. May

his ancestors, and his father was the
owner of the mills and the leading store
located there Mr.. Theodore Thompson.
one of the two remaining brothers to the
deceased still occupies the old Pennsyl-
vania homestead Mrs. Zell, of Reading.
Pa, is the only sister surviving.
On March 4, 1899, the subject of this
sketch was married to Miss Matilda Sny-
der, of Northumberland county, Pa, and
their long and happy welded life is known
to all the friends of the family. At the
age of fifteen Mr. Thompson visited Eu-
rope with his father, who had been adj
vised to go abroad on account Of failing
health. That was before the time Of
transatlantic steamers and the trip both
ways was made in sailing vessels. After
returning to this country Mr.. Thompson
took charge of his fathers mills and mer
camille business and was afterwards in
business for himself at Ashland Pa, for
nine years. Mr.. John Davis. the well
known attorney here, has in his posses
sion little pass book which he sa small
boy used to carry to this store and have
entries made by Mr. Thompson Of pur-
ychases fifty years ago After this Mr.
Thompson was in, the wholesale grocery
business in Philadelphia for two years,
but his physician advised an outdoor life
or predicted that he would reach an early
grave On this advice Mr.. Thompson
came to Kansas in 1865, living in Topeka
for a year, and then coming to Sedgwick
county just as this county was being
opened to settlement. He secured thou
sand acres Of land lying along the Little
Arkansas river seven miles north of
Wichita and there the family have lived
ever since. and still own about half the
original holdings. "Ormiston Farm" the
name the place was long known by, has
always been the synonym for genuine
hospitality and many of the old residents
of Wichita with their children and grand
children have enjoyed to the utmost the
comforts rest and good cheer always to
be obtained there. Mr. and Mrs. Thomp-
son and their three daughters. Miss Cora
Miss Josie and Miss Title have been a
remarkable family circle of one heart and
Their is taken the sympathy of hundreds

conversationalist, n great reader all his
life and well posted on all subjects: as a
consequence he was welcome wherever
he went and greeted by everybody, but

sons life Though he has been much of
an invalid for the past two years and has
at times suffered greatly, not a word of
complaint has passed his lips and his
thoughts have been for the heart suffer

his own pains.

Washington, April 1.-THE Russian gov
eminent has given notice that newspaper
correspondents using wireless telegraph

This notice was served on the state de-
partment by Count Cassini. the Russian

that similar communications were made
to all foreign oces. The text of the COM
munication is as follows:
Il am charged by my government, in

ing, to communicate TO your excellency
that the lieutenant of his imperial majes-
ty in the far east has just made the fol-
lowing declaration:
In a case in which neutral steamers

tons would be arrested near the coast of

the Russian feet. the correspondents will
be looked upon as spies and the steamers
furnished with wireless telegraphy seized

This notice opens UP an entirely new
line of treatment of correspondents The
reference to existing conventions is taken
to express the belief OF the Russian gov
eminent that If wireless telegraph has
been practiced prior to the Hague declar-
alton concerning implements and practices
of war it would surely have been prohib-
tied even in neutral hands. II happens
that some of the leading British newspa-
per correspondents are making free use
of the wireless telegraph transmission OF
their war news and it is possible that
they will appeal to their government to
define provisions and to secure an official
determination Of the question as TO
whether a neutral on his own ship outside

power and without contraband of war
aboard can be treated as a spy.
