A Second Letter from Mr.. Coon.
ANTHONY, KANSAS, APRIL 8, 1904.
NJ. D. BLAIR,

ANTHONY, KANSAS, APRIL 8, 1904.
M. E. BLAIR,
Manchester, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
Your letter was here at Anthony
when we came back from Englewood
last Saturday. Was glad-to hear
from you.
The weather is quite changeable
here at present. While we were up
at. Englewood it froze ice three
nights in succession, and il has not
rained there since last October and
no snow this winter, so the ground
is very dry and where they do not
irrigate, crops look bad. 1t is a
great stock country out there. One
can count the cattle by the thousand.
They raise quite a little alfalfa clov-
er out that way and it pays well, but
they can not raise any potatoes ex-
cept a few early ones. Peaches,
plums, apples, apricots, cherries,
grapes. ETC., grow abundantly. Trees,
when transplanted, seem to grow
very well but one has to look at a
tree twice to tell what kind it is.
1t seems that the climate and condi-
tons change the looks of trees SO
much one hardly knows tree even
that he is the best acquainted with.
In the vicinity Of Englewood, they
use great many cotton wood posts,
or they take the limbs of the cotton
wood to make posts of, most of them
being very crooked, but l was sur
prised at the length of time they
last, from three to ten years. The
soft maple is the most natural look
ing Of any Of our native trees. They
are planting great quantity Of
black locust here and at Anthony,
and they do well, grow fast and
make one Of the best posts known. l
saw in the lumber yards at Engle-
wood large piles of catalpa posts,
cut out of small timber and were
round about 4 or 5 inches in diam
eter. I didn't dare to inquire the
price.
Englewood has a small population,
one bank, three stores, two hotels,
a postotfice, barber shop, livery barn
and saloon. The hotel close by the
Santa Fe depot is one of the incest.
The landlady informed us that she
was the first white child born in
Washington county, Iowa, GO years
ago.
l wish could picture to you the
landscape asI saw it at Englewood.
Imagine, if you will, that you are
standing on an elevation and are
looking to the south over a valley
for about ten miles. AS we start to
travel that distance, we gradually
descend. although it is scarcely per-
ceptible. The roads are fine and
when we have left the town about
two miles behind we behold in front
Of us huge piles of sand, anywhere
from IS to 100 feet high. Our
horses lessen their pace and it be-
comes tedious. The horses are now
laundering in sand half way up to
their knees and our buggy wheels
are half way up to the hub. We
are now making slow progress but
we are gaining, and after wallowing
in the sand for about four miles, we
are across the Kansas line and in
Oklahoma, and soon we come to the
Cimeron river, very peculiar stream
very wide, hardly any banks, and
not much more water than runs in
Honey Creek. But it is about l5 orl

The declaration of w. r. Hearst
that he will support the candidate of
the st. Louis convention is an impor-
tant political event. 1t is a little un-
fortunate, it is true, in certain fea-
lures. There are invidious and foolish
references to loyal Democrats" an
echo of the whole policy of the Hearst
campaign, which has been to divide
the party into two or three or a dozen
different kinds OF Democrats repre-
senting different kinds of Democracy
and get them to pulling hair ana
knocking heads among one another.
This sort of talk is foolish and likely
to lead to troublous consequences. If
it means anything at all, Mr. Hearst.s
reputation of the plan to bolt is VAL
ueless.
The party in the country will well
come the promise with relief. We
think that few things. are of more i'm
portance to the nation in the largest
and best sense than the restoration of
the old idea underlying the founda-
tions of our. government and indis-
pensable to the maintenance of a De-
mocracy. that the majority should ruie
and its will be acquiesced in except in
the most extraordinary circumstances.
The idea that man is free to bolt
whenever he is defeated, or whenever
some particular fad of his is turned
down, is the parent of political an
archy. No parties can flourish and
no effective government can exist I'M
der it. A people resolves itself by
and by into lot of independent and
struggling groups of fractions individ-
uals, each more deeply. penetrated bv
hatred for its next neighbor than any
other feeling in the world. Personal
luminosity, fractional hatred, active sub
lection of large and generous ideas to
the most rancorous passions that hui
man nature can entertain become the
order of the day. What hope can there
be fer government, and what outlook
for character in conditions such as
these.
The sentiments expressed and pol
icies followed by the friends of Mr..
Hearst in many quarters have given
announcement to the idea that they
did not mean to abide by the decision
of the convention. That Mr.. Hearst
cannot be nominated is now a. patent

HERRICK, DICK AND cox
CONTROL IN OHIO
No Opposition in the Republican Con-
vention to "the Organization"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 1.-THE
Republican state convention con-
vened here this afternoon. What is
known as "the organization" headed
by Herrick, Dick and Cox, carried all
most all of the twenty-one districts
and controlled the convention by so
decisive majority that no contest or
opposition to anything was apparent
Gov. Herricl1 was temporary chair
man. The convention adjourned till
tomorrow.
The feature Of the convention came
after the business Of the temporary
organization had been completed. SEN
ator Foraker and Lieut.. Gov. Harding
are considered the leaders of one fac
ton, and Senator Dick and Gov Her
rick of another, with George B. Cox, Of
Cincinnati, holding the balance of
power. Cox is usually with the Hanna
element, represented now by Herrick
and Dick, but last year he did not sup
port all Of the Hanna slate, notably
that of lieutenant governor, and his
balance of power nominated Harding,
who is now being mentioned as u pos
sible candidate against Herrick next
year. Foraker and Dick made speeches
for the benefit of their respective fac
lions and the rivalry was keen.

A COMPLIMENT ACKNOWLEDGED.

One does not expect a good thing,
at least The Globe is not sanguine
enough to, from the board of county
commissioners; yet from that lowly
source we have received one Of the
highest compliments that could be paid
to any newspaper. Commissioner
Seng, with hot indignation, called for
a copy of r h e Glob and complain
ed bitterly to his associates because it
gets the news and prints it. This pa
per, he charged, is in the habit of
printing daily facts to which others
seem unable to get access; and he says
that he wishes some kind Of inquisition
established which would disclose how
we get at the facts.
Covered with modest bushes, we adj
NIT the soft impeachment. TIL {
G l o b e does get the news first and
print it first, and the honorable county
commissioners are by no means the
only discoveries of the fact Neither
is there anything occult or forbidden
about it. 1t does this because it is a
newspaper, with all that the word i'm
plies. And even though it should suf-
fer such sad misfortune as to remain
under the ban Of the county board in
definitely, The Globe would con-
tinue to be the modern newspaper.
We have most comforting reason to
believe, from our circulation record,
that tile public appreciates the habit
of securing and publishing the news
before any one else as much as the
county commissioners deplore it. Yet
we cannot pass without acknowledge
ment compliment so sincere and at
the same time so unintended as that
which we owe to Commissioner Seng
and some of his associates.

PARRY SPEAKS FOR
THE MANUFACTURERS
Says Association Would Not Approve
Grinding Down of Labor.

PITTSBURG. Pa, May 1.-THE
ninth annual convention Of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers was
held here today President d. M.
Parry. Of indianapolis, delivered his
annual address, IN which he said, re-
ferring to the years strikes:
The theory that the condition of labor
can be bettered by checking production
and making life and property insecure
was put to an extensive test and the re
suits were disappointing to those who be
lieve in that theory. In regard to the
National Association of Manufacturers
l am positive that any crusade having
for its object the grinding down Of labor
would meet with the determined opposi-
ton Of practically the entire membership
The policy Of this association is primarily
enc Of peace.
He opposed the closed shop and an
nounced that the association had
gained a thousand members in the last
year. bringing. the total membership up
to 5000, and was in better nancial
condition than ii ever has been. One
of the most important features of this
meeting will be the adoption of a new
constitution for the organization.

fact. No man has ever yet bought
with his millions the Democratic NOM
ination for the presidency ! in this
country, and we do not believe that
any ever viii. There has been, how
ever, in the literature circulated in
his behalf, some of which has been
published in our columns, a spirit of
bitterness, an element Of intolerance
that boded no good for the party.
There have been absurd contests rails
ed and rump conventions held in many
places by the Hearst people after they
had been put into a minority so mi
mute that it could not even pretend it's
right to place. Whether with reason
or without, these various events have
given rise to a widespread conviction
that the Hearst people, being the most
radical of radicals, intended to follow
the old Populist rule, which was that
a minority should always bolt 1t is
pleasing to learn authoritatively that
those Democrats who have followed
the fortunes of Mr.. Hearst are so
thoroughly Democratic that they will
abide by the decision of the majority
regularly expressed.

since this. Only the other day a
meeting was held at the instance of
$4,000 petitioners among the most
Substantial and influential men of the
state to urge reciprocity with Canada
as a business need. There is little
doubt. we believe, that good Demo-
crat. one who will appeal to the con-
sentative feeling of confidence in the
East, standing on a rational platform
with Canadian reciprocity as one of its
principal planks, can carry Massa-
chusetts for the Democratic party.
We have pointed out opportunities
which are not rainbow dreams, but ac-
tua1 possibilities of today They show
how Democracy can win through the
mistakes and crimes of it's adversary
simply by avoiding obvious error on
it's own part. 1t is no day dream, but
a plain and palpable fact that the way
to Democratic victory this year is open
if we are wise enough to tread it.

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew. who now
seems to be the predominating moral
force in the Western Union telegram
company, complains that the newspa-
pers by printing racing news do much
to encourage gambling.
Perhaps. 1t is unquestienablv true
that the newspapers print racing news
and that men bet money on races.
The newspapers also print political
news, and men bet money on elections.
They print sermons, and sinful men
have been known to make bets as to
the length of sermons. When q gam
bling instinct is strong it can gener-
ally devise means to achieve its ends
1t is even said that bets have been
made that DR.. DepeW cannot succeed
himself in the United States senate.
but when he announces his candidacy
for re-election-if he does-the news
papers will have to print the an
nouncement. regardless OF its stinnu-
lating influence upon the world of
chance.
DR.. Depew is seventy years young"
and is therefore old enough to be
aware of the danger in trying to score
a point with lame logic-New York
