DEL VALENTINE AND JERRY.

Jerry Simpson in his speeches down
around home used to refer to Congress
man Victor Murdoch as "a little red
headed reporter who was rotten before
he was ripe" When Simpson came to
Clay Center he made the same speech.
During the run of the evening he got off
the same sentence. There was tremen-
dous audience, mostly Populists, of
course. In those days The Times man
hair was bountiful ans rather inclined
to warmth in tone and tinge. At this
particular time he had been forced into
a conspicuous place in plain sight Of
most of the house. Some Jealous hater

Simpson referred to the editor of The
Times, started the applause and 1t swept
backwards and forwards mingled with
laughter, like a hooking tornado. Simp-
son was surprised. but in looking around
caught the victims eye and noted his
embarrassment. Here was his cue An
unexpected shot mad caught and he
made the most os it. Well, that is the
reason why one mean Clay Center man
only learned the past month to appreci-
ate Simpson at his true worth.-Clay

sOME MACHINERY

Formerly there was but one Republic
can machine in Kansas. Now there are
four. Four different and distinct Re-
publican machines are fully organized
to run the Republican party next year;
and each separate machine believes it
is it. 1t is argued that five men can
run a township or ward; that SO men
can run the politics of a county; and
that 500 machine politicians can run
the state. Sometimes it so happens, but
not always. We have an idea that the
voters are going to run Kansas next
year. We hope so.-E1 Dorado Repub-

Surgeon White announced today
that he had received permission to re-
open the detention camp at Avondale

in day or two. The camp was closed
at the time that Texas refused per-
