Superintendent Woodbury..

Nothing is more important to the peo-
pie of the county than the public schools
They are In good running order in Ford
county. Their work Is attracting the at
tention of educators outside the county
The schools are in good condition largely
because Of the intelligent work Of F. c.
Woodbury. who is candidate for re.elec.
tion, and who should receive the vote of
every one who has any interest In the
public schools. 1t Is true that Mr.. Wood
bury has given some of his time to teach
ing, but has never neglected the work Of
the office. and he has done more and bet
ter work In the Office than the people Of
this county will ever get done by any one
else at the salary now paid. Mr.. Wood
bury's defeat, II such thing were pos.
sible, would be 8 great injury to the pub.
lie schools OF this county, and 1t Is evil
dent that this fact was appreciated when
be was elected for the present term, as bic
majority In the county was b46 votes.

means, that they would not do worse by
far by changing. Most of the counties
are very careful in eleoting man to take
charge of the county records, and it Is
we'll that they should be. The people Of
Ford county made wise choice tive
years when they elected Mr.. Stumph
register Of deeds, and their wisdom has
been fully proved by his conduct Of the
Office. The choice was made by the
strong majority OF 427 votes, and II
ought to be increased this year because
Mr.. Stumph has fully earned the con.
fldence which was bestowed upon him
two years ago.

Why You Should Vote for Chalk
Beeson.

The last legislature was one Of the best
in the history of Kansas. It passed more
good laws, and showed more cOnsidera-
tion for the interests Of the people Of the
state. and was the strongest against all
kinds Of special interests Of any legis-
lature you can remember. II was strictly
"the peoples" legislature, and every
man who stands for fair dealing must
admit that this is true. Ford county had
representative in thatIlegislature, Chalk
Beeson, and he was active, he had influ-
ence, and he voted right on every propo-
sition; voted 10 the interest Of the people,
voted as every man In this county would
have wished him to vote. There Is not
a single objection to the last legislature,
or to Chalk Blossoms conduct as q repre-
sentative. In simple justice to Mr.. Bee
son, these things must be admitted The
next Legislature will bs made up largely
of the same men who composed the last
one. The majority Of the counties have
nominated the same men, and will elect
them, because they appreciate the work
done at the last session They are taking
. sensible course to encourage good legis-
lation. That's the way to do business.
When legislature does good work return
the men that composed 1t. When 1t goes
wrong chop their heads of. Chalk Bee
sons worst enemy can not say that the
last legislature was not one Of the best ia
the history of the state, or that Mr.. Bee.
son was not on the right side Of every
proposition that came up. II Ford coun.
ty people are sincere, II they want to en-
courage good Legislation, they will stand
by The last legislature, and by the repre-
sentative sent to that body from this
county. They will not follow off after
movement hatched in democratic incu.
bator In eastern Kansas, or Chicago, to
attempt to elect democratic U. S. Sena-
tor, and to bolster up the state for Bryan
two years later. The democrats offer a
candidate who, personally, is good
man. 1t Is creditable for that party 10
this county that it has such men. But
when the democratic party asks the Re-
publicans Of Ford county ogo back on
the last Legislature, and to vote for can
didate from party that will have no
force in the next Legislature, when it asks
them to rebuke their own candidate who
made good record In the best legisla-
ture we have had, il is not entitled to the
attention or consideration of any Repub-
iican. such request is, in fact, refec-
ton on the honesty and intelligence of
the voters Of the county. Let Ford coun.
" stand among the counties Of Kansas
that will show their appreciation Of the
last legislature by returning the same
representative to the next session.

SHOW SEASON OPENS.
ellis Highness the Bey" Tuesday
Night and "The Old Clothes Man"
Will Follow.

Tuesday evening was practically the
opening Of the show season at the
Gluck opera house, The attraction was
"His Highness the Bey," which played
at Topeka, Hutchinson and Dodge City
on its way to Denver from Kansas City.
The special scenery which goes with
the production was not taken from the
car here and the costumes used were
drawbacks to the performance. The
performance itself, while the surround
ings were out Of jeint with 1t, was very
fair, and much Of 1t was good, The
chorus singing was not bad and the songs
by Mabel McCane took we'll with the
audience. Mr.. judas work was goot
throughout, excepting perhaps the closing
scene. "His Hiahness the Bey" has tn,
unusual feature among musical comedies
Of having plot that does not require th,
assistance Of chart and foot notes ii
orders to enable one to follow 1t. Their
was a good sized crowd present
which shows that Dodge City Is be-
coming better asas show town. Mr.
Gluck has arranged to put In a hous'

Carl Van Ripper.

To the people of Ford county who be-
lieve the office OF county attorney to be
an important one, who believe that the
Laws should be enforced, that The inter-
ests of the county for economy and good
government should be looked after by a
thoroughly competent and conscientious
lawyer, the candidacy Of Carl Van Ripper
will appeal strongly. He is the kind of
man that can, irst, last and all the time
be trusted by the county or the individual.
He is a man who will feel the RESPONSE
bility Of the office, who will feel that he
has been elected 20 stand for the interests
Of the county, and that every individual
who is resident of the county is entitled
20 equal protection. He is man who
would have no favorites. ae would be
guided in all Of his acts by what would be
RIGHT. II elected, Mr.. Van Ripper will
make one of the best County attorneys
that Ford county has ever had, and one
who will give great satisfaction to the
people Of the comfy. While quiet and
unassumlng, Carl Van Ripper has for the
past few years been doing large amount
OF important work in the practice Of bis
profession, and while young In the pro-
fpaeiOn. he ia A strong LAWYER. and the
best Of all, be Is that brand OF lawyer
that chooses to work on the right side of
case, rather than on the side that offers
the largest fee. AS county attorney he
would not try to show his ability by try
ing to convict man whom he thought
was really innocent, but II he thought a
man was really guilty there is no power
that could tempt him to swerve from his
duty as county attorney.
