SUNNY SLOPE.

communication he states that he
knows veryrwell the attitude of the
people of Barton county, but that he
has changed his opinion, and has
seen no reason to change. It back.
Therefore he admits that he repre-
sents himself, and not his constitu-
ency. He further agrees to send
transportation to any person who can
give him satisfactory reason why he
should change his mind. He. there
shows that he stands in with the
powers that be, and that he can give
the much coveted transportation
He also says that being representa-
tive from Barton county, he cannot be
forever permitting his constituents to
change his mind. His constituents
have not changed his mind at all.
And, if he were the representative
of the people he should be guided by
their wishes.
He follows all this up by bid for
a second term. How inconsistent.
Here is a man sent to the legislature
to represent a county, one that over
whelmingly went against the female
suffrage proposition, a man who, in
an open letter recognizes the fact that
he is on the opposite side of the cues
ton from his constituents, who open
ly speaks of sending transportation,
whose first term is not half out yet,
and in the same breath says he wants
to go back next year. Voters, paste
this letter Of Mr.. Steckle's in your
scrap book, and look. at it just before
election day in 1906. This is the
man we thought represented Barton
county in the Legislature.

Senator Ch.brnan's Refinery Vote.

There has been more or less talk
concerning Senator Chapnlan's vote
On the refinery bill. 1t has been
along the line that he should by all
means have been present when the
bill came up for final passage, which
he was not. If be was unavoidably
absent, there should be a showing
made in the record of that days bust
ness, and we have nothing to say.
1t has been suggested that be was out
on committee work, which can Spos-
sibly be true, but as there were only
three senator's absent, according to
the Topeka Capitals report of the
vote, it is hardly probable. While
the argument may be made that the
fight on matters of that kind come up
in the committee of the whole, there
have been times when the fight came
on the final passage of a bill, and
there have been times when a meas
'ure recommended by the committee
of the whole failed to pass. We are
not DESTROYS Of making any particular
criticism, or of assigning any motive
for his absence, but the people of this
district have a right to. demand of
their senator, that when the most i'm
portant measures of the session come
up for final passage, he be present
and record his vote, unless unavoid-
ably detained. If he was thus, when
the refinery bill came up, all right.
If he was thus when the maximum
rate bill came up, all right If he
was thus when Waggener's corpora
ton measure came up, and on a de-
mand for a call of thesenate the ser
geant at arms brought him in, all
right. We have endeavored to give
the senator fair show, and that is
what we want for the people of the
district.

Sickle And Female Suffrage.

Judging from the tone of a letter
written by Representative Sickle,
concerning his attutitde and vote on
the female suffrage amendment, that
gentleman is not the representative of
the people of Barton county, but of
Bert Sickle. His vote on the suf-
frage proposition came as . great
surprise, and none were more so then
his constituents at Ellinwood. With
out entering here into the arguments
for or against the bill, and while We
are fernisnt It, there is argument on
both sides, we wish to critise Mr..
Steckle's position in his letter to his
home paper, which has been given in
full in another publication. In this

HIS WIFE WOKE HIM UP.
Connecticut Man Nearly Choked to
Death in Night.

No comment is needed on the fol-
lowing letter. 1t tells of fearful ex-
periences that have fortunately been
overcome.
"Dear Sirs:-
Often in the night my wife had to
wake nae up because I was almost
choking to death with catarrh. had
one of the worst cases that was ever
known, and skilful physicians said it
was chronic.
Fortunately a friend told me of
Hyomei, and l used this treatment
faithfully, and to-day am free from
catarrh. l used Hyomei perhaps five
times day and could soon see a
great change. A complete outfit and
an extra bottle cured me. l always
carry a Hyomei inhaler in my peck
ct. SO as to prevent any cold or slight
catarrhal attacks that are common at
this season of the year.
Yours Fraternally.
Thomas Finchan, Putnam, Conn.
s. 1t is the easiest thing in the world
to cure catarrh or catarrhal colds if
you use Hyomei. Breathe its health
giving, balsamic air for a few min
utes, and your catarrhal trouble will
soon be cured.
The complete outfit costs but one
dollar,I Eand consists of An inhaler
that can be carried in .tiespurse Or
vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and
a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts
a lifetime, while extra bottles, if
needed, can be obtained for so cents.
In Great Bend there are scores of well
known people who have been cured
of catarrh by HyQmei. If It does not
helq you, Hooper Drug Co. will re-
turn your money in accordance with
the guarantee they give with every
outfit.

The affair was greatly enjoyed and
those who expected to find the new

agreeably disappointed. for the car
went as smoothly as though the rails
