To the Editor of the Chanute
Daily Tribune

Under the capt OF "a personal state
ment" in the Tribune OF the 2Sth inst.
you made and repeated some state.
ments wholly at variance with the
facts in the case in reference to the
old soldiers and in the same breath
you say the Tribune has no quarrel
with the Chanute Old Soldiers" Let
US consider your assertions in refer
ence to the Soldiers and Sailors
League in their order:
First, you plainly intimate that the
Republican soldiers in order have
been hoodwinked and deceived by
their shrewd and scheming Demo-
cratic comrades into organizing for
the purpose Of wrecking the Republl-
can party rather than to advance the
old soldiers interests. To this charge
allow US TO modestly say, that we be-
lieve that at least fair share of the
brains of our organization is in Re-
publican craniums, and the lives and
the characters Of the Democratic
comrades who have so Loyalty assisted
IN this organization, in the face of
the fact that none but time tried and
true Republicans can be considered
for appointment, is to US, and should
be to all just thinking men. ample re-
fntati0p m tho cborUa of nptrna ond
unfair motives attributed by the Tri-
bune to them. You, Sir, may as we'll
understand the contention of the old
soldiers aud the object of this League
is to secure in political matters the
rights of the men who saved and
made this nation what 1t now is; il
was redeemed and enfranchised by our
sacrifices and the blood Of our COM
rades. We consecrated old Glory to
the cause Of human freedom and all
political parties joined In the conse-
Grafton, and no man was barred on
accountI OF his politics frem taking
his gun and joining the hosts of free.
doms' sons and We all joined in the
conservation Of old Glory on two thou
sand battle fields; and six hundred
thousand OF eur comrades gave their
lives in the conservative ceremonies,
and We now serve public notice that
the present demonstration is but the
distant rumbIIng Of the coming cy-
clone taat will surely strike the camp

THE KISSING STORY

And nav the kissing story is
started anew on Gov. Hoch. This
thing was whispered around last
winter, on the quiet, but seemed to
die out. Just before the Republican
convention it was put into circu'a-
ton freely, through the papers evil
dently for political effect.
The story goes that Mrs. Elk.
Gov. Stanley had official business
with the Governor and while trans
acting that business in the Cover
nor's private Office. Gov. Hoch
tried to embrace her. The whole
thing seems to be manufactured for
political purposes. We are of the
opinion that some foul black mail
ing politician manufa ctured the
story fo1 the purpose of damaging
Gov. HoCh. We believe Gov
Hoch to be pure minded man,
and that he would not think of do
ing anything Of the kind.
However, should he not be above
suspicion, it seems absured to sup
pose that he would make any al.
vances towards a woman of the
standing and position of Mrs
Stanley. On, no. the whole thing
is simply scandal originating in
some perverted brain, and should
be treated with the utmost con
tempt by every right thinking man.

GOOD ROADS

There is quite an agitation at
present on the good roads PROPOSE
ton but there seems to be nc
organized effort in this locality to
accomplish any results. About
every one seems to agree that the
drag is great help to the roads
and that if persistently used for a
few years, great results would fol-
low. a few enterprising and self
sacrificing farmers are using the
drag in front of their premises, but
unless some systematic arrange
ments are made 10 have the roads
drug regularly at all proper times
and at all places where the system
can be adopted but little good will
be accomplished and in little while
all efforts will be abandoned.
1t would seem that the road over
seers in each road district have the
authority to have these drags made
and have then used. If a good
portion of the road work in each
district should be devoted to the
use of the drag each season instead
of so much blowing and scraping
that amounts TO but little. its effic-
acy could be thoroughly tried. We
are convinced that the road drag
would work wonders if properly
used, and we hope to see it used,
but there must be some systematic
arrangement adapted for its use be
fore any good will be accomplished.

Of all parties who disregard our just
claims. You say the second mistake
was IA set Of resolutions were drawa
up for publican with the sole object in
view to embarrass Congressman
! Campbell and a member of The County
| Ticket" all OF which we deny, and
to confirm this denial we have both
oral and written evidence. In the
first place, after organizing our
League we appointed committee,
ALL REPUBLICANS, to correspond
with Mr.. Campbell and lay our claims
before him. We only asked that an
old soldier, who should be Republi.
can, be selected from our number aud
recommended by him for Postmaster
at Chanute, Kansas, and his reply to
our communication was not only
eyasive but offensive. 1t was the
ELUSIVE OF the politician and. to our
mind, Indicated his intention 20 dis.
regard our reasonable and falr de.
mands, and the intent to appoint his
chum, Mr.. Helmick, regardless OF the
peoples wishes, and the fact that the
said Helmick is stranger here ana
has never contributed anything either
to the town, the party or aoything
else that we know Of; he has DC pro-
perty here, pays no taxes here and is
not likely to unless he strikes differ
ent gait than the one he has travelled
the two years he has been known to
US. You next say that "Three OF the
six members who we're supposed to
have drawn the resolutions have since
had their names striker of, and at
least one OF them requested the Tri-
oue Dot to publish them" To all Of
which We reply, there was 3 COM
mittce OF five, four OF whom were Be
publicans, and who are responsible
for every word written. We. admit
that Comrsde Dewey for prudential
reasons asked to have his name taken
OF. but be did then, and does now
endorse every word written BY the
committee, aud one member Of the
committee was out of town and hence
We had only three when the resolu-
lions were reported, but they were

1t seems Mrs. Hetty Green, the
richest woman in the United States,
