Racnn.e Re Ia an Edltnr.

It is not necessary these days TO re-
buke sneers at the country ediror be-
cause these days nobody does sneer at
the country editor, says the Chicago
Chronicle. That time has passed. Yet
1t is not because the country editor has
taken to office holding that he is an
influential figure in the nation. 1t is
rather in spite of that fact. There
fore, the emulation of a member Of
the rural journalistic fraternity over
the rise to power of many of his con-
temporaries is due to a misapprehen-
sion of cause and effect. The country
editor is a power not because he is in
Office, but because he is an editor.

GENTLE CALVES.

When you see a calf that is every
thing that could be asked for in the
way of gentIeness there is every pros
pect that she will make a good dairy
cow. A wild calf can hardly ever be
made fit for the dairy. Walk among
the calves, talk to them, pet them. and
they will soon appreciate your efforts
to make friends. A COW that is on
friendly terms with her owner is gen,
orally a profitable COW.

And with no beat Of drum,
Into the land Of promise

No signals fly
Above our caravan;
Dusty the beast Of burden,
Crave the man.

Who could not foot the trackless
Journey through.

David Overmyer Maintains His Flop
ping Tendencies.
In a speech at Kansas City, Kansas.
last Friday, David Overmyer said:
"The Democrat who talks of voting
the Republican ticket is not Demo
crat. He is traitor to his party"
This was said to an audience Of DEM
ocrats. In talking to audiences where
there are Republicans, he and the
other Democratic candidates, say this
is an off year; that party lines should
not be drawn, and that the really
good citizen votes for the man and
not for the party. Kansas is Re-
publican State, and Mr.. Overmyer
knows that the only hope of Democ
racy is in getting Republican votes;
SO he adjusts his talks to the audi
ences. But if Democrat who votes
the Republican ticket is traitor, &C
cording to Mr.. Overmyer, then a Re-
publican who votes the Democratic
ticket is a traitor also.

On This Trivial Basis Harris Claims
Kansas Residence.
Some folks inclined to support the
Chicago mail order" candidate for
Governor of Kansas, suggest that the
objection that Col. w. A. Harris does
not live in Kansas is trivial. They
are mistaken. Both the Constitution
and the law contemplate that a man
shall be citizen of the State both in
spirit and in fact before he is eligible
to office under the state government.
Col. Harris is not citizen of Kansas
in either spirit or fact.
He removedefrom Kansas to Chicago
when he was separated from public
office in 1901. Since that time he has
neither voted nor paid taxes in Kan
sas. Less than two years ago he ties
tilted under oath before the Inter
State Commerce commission that hi
residence was in Chicago. Less thai
one year ago he stated in an inter
view that he was not competent t.
state opinions regarding public ques
tons in Kansas for the reason that h
4 was out Of touch with the politics Q

to make his home at Lawrence.

that the year 1905 was the only year
In which it rained every month in
Lordsburg for the past ten years, and
that the time from April, 1904, to
May, 1906, was the longest period 10
this time, during which it raiued
every month here. 1t is probable that
in order to even affairs up we will now
have a long stretch of dry weather.
