Just IMAGINE ROOSEVELT
RUNNING A NEWSPAPER

Gazette office is having a fit. and the
man with a firm set mouth, and a
naughty air is in the business office
stopping his paper, there comes a fun
~ though 70 the editorial mind: What
do you suppose Roosevelt would do if
he was running the Oyster Bay
Tribune? would he go right after the
gamblers and saloonkeepers and vio-
lators of the law who lived in his town,
would he print the item that showed
how the local banker was gouging in
his interest account, would he dare to
go to the court house and get the per-
sonal property tax list and run it-or
would he consider the larger good and
take his typewriter in hand and blaze
away at the practice of pOlygamy in
Utah, the iniquity of the fruit trus, N
California, of the violation of the game
laws in Maine? 1t is one thing to be
a president with $4,000 year, raining
on the tin roof whether you work or
not, and quite another thing to be the
editor of paper in a board sidewalk
town, dependent upon retaining the
good graces of the people for your
board and keep. There is something
inspiring in the sweetly solemn thought
that you don't fear Saturday night,
that gives president a courage in
busting the trusts, which a country
editor knowing that the boys are tired
of taking orders on the clothing store
for their week 3 wages-someway doesn't
feel. Roosevelt is brave man, but if
he was running a country paper, and
found that the chairman of the print
ing committee in the council was get
ting good many orders for pauper
groceries in his store contrary to the

the president would open up in the

news?
I PUT GROVER CLEVELAND ON
TRIPOD.
Grover Cleveland did a brave thing
in sending the troops to Chicago, but
| if he had been running the BuZZard' s
Bay Weekly World, do you suppose he
would have had the nerve to jump on
the druggist for illegal sales of liquor,
whose wife came over to sit up with
the Cleveland children when they had
the scarlet fever? Joe Cannon is sup
posed to be Indifferent to public clamor,
but if he was running a little country
daily down in Illinois, and a lot of adj
vertisers came to his office to tell him
that they would order out their ads. if
he didn't stop printing the news about
the smallpox, and driving trade from
town-what would he do?
"The eternal cheerfulnesS of PreSf-
dent Roosevelt is remarked the world

kinks out of his grin and make his face

Thieves Return S1OO

Lucille Wright Commits Suicide


A telegram was received yesterday
morning by Mrs. G. H. Hoover from
Miss May Tevis, of Holden Mo-,
stating that Miss Lucille Wright had
committed suicide. The Kansas
City papers have a short report of
the affair which states that Miss
Wright shot herself in the left breast.
She had arrived at Holden, Missouri
the day before the suicide on visit
with friends. No cause was assign
ed for the rash act. Lucille had been
in Kansas City for several months to
receive treatment for her eyes and
was expected home here this week.
Her trunks haye arrived here. She
was expecting to keep books for
Robert Rath in the City Drug Store,
where she was employed before she
went to Kansas City for treatment
for her eyes and no doubt contem-
plated to return here IN few days
or she would not have shipped her
trunk. Mr.. R. M. Wright, her
father started for Holden last night
and the remains will be brought here
for burial. Miss Wright has been
sick for several months and has been
worried about her eyes for some
time and at times would bee ome
quite respondent over her ailment
and no doubt this dependency
caused her to commit this rash act.
Lucille Wright was born at Fort
Dodge II years ago and has resided
in Ford county and Dodge City the
most of her life. She was an only
daughter. On her return here she
intended to make ber home with
Mrs. Hoover, who on hearing the
sad news was nearly prostrated with
grief.
i Should the remains be. brought
back to Dodge City the funeral will
probably occur Sunday from the
residence of Mr.. Hoover.
A telegram is expected from Mr..
Wright, who left last night for Hol-
den.-Dodge City Democrat.

The State Encampmenf.

An effort will be made by the dele
gates from Lewis Post to have the
state encampment OF the G. A. R.
held at Dodge City this year. No
better place can be found in the
state. The grounds and park are
away ahead of anything in this sec
ton and if the matter is pushed by
the business men it looks to those
who have the matter in charge as if
it could be got here. A committee
has been appointed bv Lewis Post of
this city to meet with the CONNER
tial club and work to that end.
Several of the prominent speakers
who were here during encampments
during the past few years will favor
Dodge City and they expressed
themselves strongly in favor of the
state encampment here. With the
proper effort it looks as if it might
be accomplished. 1t would bring
people from all over the state who
would avail themselves to the cheap
rates on the railroad to see our
lands. The real estate men would
in this way be benefited by the large
number of land seekers who would
come out to look over the country
and it would advertise Dodge City
and Ford County.-Dodge City
