AN OFFER TO CRIMES.

This weeks Miami Republican, edit
ed by w. D. Greason. contains the fol-
lowing:
Frank Grimes. whose administra-
ton as state treasurer was found short
almost 100000, wants to settle for
S7,215, which he claims is all he owes.
and wants to pay up without further
delay. He is exceedingly solicitoUs that
| the matter be kept out of court, giving
as his reason that the costs of a law
suit would be heavy We believe that
the people of Kansas will be willing to
help Mr.. Grimes out in this matter
and for one we viii agree to donate
$25 toward paying the costs of a law
suit. 1t will be worth all it costs to get
those books into court"
This recalls to mind the fact that
Mr.. GreasOn once offered to forfeit
$1,000 to the Topeka Capital or any of
number of other papers that were
then defending T. T. Kelly, if they
would get a committee of ten reliable
Kansas editors and citizens, composed
of such men as T. A. AfcNeal, E. w
Hoch, and Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon,
to go to Miami county. investigate
KeIly's record, and report that Kelly
/ is honest and that the Miami county
charges against him were false. If
Kelly had been honest that would
have been a very easy way to convince
the people of the state of it, but in the
I light of more recent developments it is
not surprising that Kelly did not urge
his newspaper defenders to try to get
that thousand dollars.
The people of Miami county, by the
way, showed what they think of Kelly
/ in both of the last two elections. They
have given an overwhelming majority
against him each time. The last time
he was beaten by majority of LA.
while Roosevelt carried the county by
! 1,474.
If Attorney General Coleman ever
/ files suit against Grimes he had better
accent Mr.. Gleason's offer.

THE TALE OF JOHNNIE.

Here is a little tale that is floating
around in the country press that is
worth pondering over:
Nowadays when Johnnie is bad at
school the teacher takes down a book
and gives a black mark. Next day he is
worse than ever. Fifty years ago,
when Johnnie was bad at school the
teacher took down a dogwood sprout
made two dozen marks around his bare
legs and Johnnie never repeated the Of
tense. Fifty years ago Johnnie got up
at daylight, started the fires. fed the
horses, MIXED dozen Iong-horned
COWS that gave barely enough milk to
go in the coffee, chopped and brought
in wood enough to last mother all day.
ate breakfast and walked five miles to
school. Today Johnnie does not get up
tin he is forced to do So eats little or
no breakfast, goes out behind the barn
to smoke a cigarette, and if the school
house is over three blocks away grunts
about the distance he has to walk. The
Johnnie Of so years ago is hale hearty
man. Fifty years from now the John

at both ends. but the idea which it IL
illustrates is correct. The average boy
of today does not have to encounter the
experience that make for sterling. self
reliant manhood that the boy of a half
century ago did. A great majority Of
the great and successful men of recent
times have been those who were COM
PEELED to endure hardships and overcome
difficulties when they were young.
Those very experiences developed in
them the qualities that enabled them to
outstrip their fellows in the race for
success.
The modern boy who is surrounded
with comforts and luxuries. whose par
ents are not equipped with the good
sense to train him to meet and oyer
come hardships, viii be handicapped in
meeting the boy whose early life has
developed in him those sterling qualities
of mind and character which make for
real success. That is why the boy from
the farm goes to the city and in the end
so often outstrips his city bred cousin.

righteousness exalteth a nation: but SIN
is reproach to any peopiet-ProFesps
Since governments first began to
flourish away back comparatively early
in human history, nations have come
and gone like individuals. Empires have
risen, fiourished, and gone into decay.
The AssyTians, the Persians, the Egyp-
tians, the Greeks, the Romans, and
many minor peoples have had their day.
History is strewn with the wrecks Of
nations.
Why is it that a nation which once
becomes a great power does not con-
tinue to grow and extend its influence?
It's the same old reason: Vice.
National vice viii undermine a gov
eminent just as surely as personal vice
win undermine an individual. The rule
is as tnexorable as the laws of health
or of nature. A nation cannot indulge
in sin and flourish any more than an
individual may cultivate vices and be
unframed. It may grow for time,
but the government that permits sin
and wrong-doing Will, in the very ma
ture of events, heundermined. the same
as an individual, while he may be VIC
ious and retain his strength for time,
win at last go down before the ravages
of disease.
Our own nation is yet young and
strong and vigorous. It has thus far
existed only a short time compared W tn
the Roman republic, which went into
decay. We cannot take it for granted
that the government of the United
States viii endure forever. It will not
unless it keeps itself free from national
vices.
Graft is one of the most prevalent
forms Of national vice. It IS rampant
throughout the country. and if it is not
checked it win sometime result in the
overthrow of the government. Oppres-
sion by the rich and powerful is another
vice of the same sort. There seems
possibility that these two evils may be
to a great extent eradicated-in fact
they must be eradicated, and we have
faith that the integrity and ability Of
the American people as a whole viii
see that they are eradicated.
Still more offensive and dangerous
are the vices of official corruption and
the open and notorious violation of law
without rebuke on the part of the auth
critics. These are things that lead to
anarchy. The good sense of the people
may sometime cause IneSe evils TO De
abolished, but there is so much of this
sore of sin, and the evil is so insidious
that it crops out in unexpected places.
There are numerous other popular
vices-practices that may be legal and
approved by a large number of people.
yet which viii in time sap our national
strength-but those mentioned have to
do with governmental affairs direct.
So far these remarks have been gen
eral. Why not narrow them down to
our own state and county? Why not
remember them when it comes time to
attend the primaries next month? Why
not see to it that men are nominated
and elected to Office who Will endeavor
to enforce all laws, and to see that
grafters, eorruptionists, jointists and
the like are all punished2
