The president was curious mix
ture of piety and shrewdness. A
story is teld of an incident which
occurred in his earlier days.
AT she time, when game was very
scarce. he went with a party to
hunt the hartbeest. They secured
the field for days without sign of
their prey. Paul Kruger announced
his purpose of going into the hills
to pray for food, like patriarch of
old.
He was gone for a number of
hours. When he returned he an
nounced that in three days a large
herd would pass that way. The
party camped, less than the ap-
pointed time the prophecy was full
filled, and much game was secured.
The Boer hunters were much struck
with wonder, and dubbed Kruger
the man of prayer.
Some time after, the Kaffir who
accompanied Kruger on his expedi-
tion Of petition told the truth of the
affair. Kruger, when he LETT the
hunting-party, had struck out for
neighboring Kafir kraal, and in
formed the natives that his men
were starving, If they, the natives,
did not discover game in three days
he said, he would bring his whole
party over the hill and kill every
Kafir. The natives, being sore
afraid of Boer methods, all
turned out. secured the region, and
drove the game to the Boer camp.
Tins Kruger's prayer was answered.

against Hoch because he hadn'i
closed up the joints in every town
in the state In other words the
governor was getting it goin' and
comm. Several individuals in
dicated to US that they were against
Hoch because he hadn't cracked
down on Tom Kelley and put him
out of the treasurer's office. They
said that Hoch had weakened, that
Kelley had him buffaloed, etc.
Other individuals Informed us that
if the governor had not gone back
on Tom Kelley he would be in bet
ter shape. We we're frequently in
formed that the Bailey faction was
knifing Hoch and within an hour we
would hear that one reason why the
governor was going to be scratched
at election time was because he had
surrendered himself to the old ma
chine. Now with that sort of in
congruous and contradictory ele-
ments apparently lined up against
him It is not remarkable that Gov
ernor Hoch had close race. The
wonder is that he managed to pull
through at all. With the jointists
whacking him on the one side and
the prohibitionists knocking on the
other; with the enemies of Tom
Kelley sharpening their pencils
ready for the voting booth and the
friends of Tom Kelley, that is, some
of them. insisting that the governor
ought to be punished for lngratitude;
with the enemies of Ross Stubbs
laying for him and Ross Stubbs
himself lingering like Achilles in
his tent; with railroad attorneys
warm at him because he had ap-
pointed Carr Taylor attorney for
the board of railroad commission
ers and the railroad baiters insist
ing that he had sold himself out to
railroad corporations, it is won
der that he did not get it a lot har-
der than he did.

has not done all the good that he
could have done-no man does that
yet when the time comes that men
can judge Of his administration
calmly and without partisan pre-
judice they will acknowledge that
Governor Hoch has given the state
a clean, honest and successful ad
ministration and that most of the
criticism that was heaped upon him
was undeserved.-Ma,l and Breeze.

How 1t Happened

\ We are not claiming that this an.

guage of the plain common people
|wc are blamed glad of it. We pre-
sumo t.at there were good many
people moic or less jolted by the
surprise at the re suit, but the writer
Iof this was not. We are not re-.
marking that. we knew what was
coming. We make no pretense of
being smart and far seeing. On the
Contrary the experience of years

siderable of chump when 1t comes

During the campaign we travelled
Through more than half of the
countries in Kansas. We heard
people talk and now that the thing
'is all over we will confess that their
talk politically didn't sound good to
JUS. It reminded us too much of the
days of 1890 when we were trying
TO make ourselves believe that there
weren't so very many off the reser
vation.
There are those who pretend now
that it is over to tell just why things
were thus. 1t seems to us that
most of them are shooting clear out.

things that we found as we wand

SENATORIAL CANDIDATE

F. NJ. Robertson nominated by
the Republicans of this district for
state senator, Tuesday, is a resi-
dent of Coyville, Wilson county.
He is an old soldier. farmer and
grain dealer. He has lived in Will
son county for many years and is
well and favorably known all over
the county.
He is bright and well informed
man, capable of expressing himself
either in public.or private. A strong
and faithful Republican and a good
man generally. He has served one
or two terms in the legislature and
is probably as well equipped for the
position as ary man Wilson county
could have produced.
Itnow becomes important that
the Republicans of the two counties
get out on election day and give
Nc. Robertson a.rousing old vote.

SEEMS HARSH

The dlshonorable discharge of
the three companies of negro SOL
diers who got into trouble at
Brownsville, Texas, with some of
those hot headed southerners seems
unnecessarily severe, 1t might be
that some Of The men transgressed
militery rule, some what, but they
probably were almost unbearably
graded to the act. 1t seems hard to
subject old soldiers who are nearing
the date of their honorable dis
charge on three-fourths pay
to the lgnoming of dis
honorable dishargc because they
don't chance lo know anything
about the mischief some of :helr
companions may have been into.
We think it but justice that this
order of the President be taken up
by the next Congress and, at least
the worth men of these companies,
reinstated to good standing in the
army.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION

The Republican convention to
nominate state senator for this
senatorial district, consisting OF
Neosho and Wilson counties, met
in city hall of this city, Tuesday
afternoon.
There was good representation
of delegates present from each
county. The necessity of this con-
vention and election arose from the
death of Senator Benedict and the
man elected at this time will only
fill the unexpired term of two years.
By agreement between the two
counties the senator has been elec-
ted from first one and then the
other. This being Wilson county's
term the delegates from that county
were asked to name their man.
The Wilson county delegates
went into caucus and organized by
selecting D. A. Blymn of New AL
bany as chairman and Paul Wiley
of Neodesha as secretary. When it
came to nominations L. L. Legg
S. M. Robertson P. c. Young were
nominated. The second ballot re-
suited in Mr.. Robertson receiving a
majority of all the votes cast and he
was declared the unanimous choice
of the caucus by motion from Mr..
Young.
After the adjournment of the
Wilson county caucus, the Neosho
delegates came in and the conven-
ton was called to order by r. N.
Allen who placed in nomination
for chairman Mr.. Gray. He was
unanimously elected and Paul Wiley
of Neodesha was made Secretary.
On motion the secretary was direc
ted to cast the full vote of the con-
vention for Mr.. Robinson.
A committee of three, John Gil
more, Herbert Caveness and Seth
Wells were appointed to draft suit
able resolutions on the death of
Senator S. Benedict.
Convention adjourned.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic senatorial conyen-
ton for this district, met in Cha
mute, Wednesday. A number of the
faithful gathered together in the
city hall and after due deliberation
and consultation proceeded to nomi-
nate S. S. Osborn of this city for
the position of senator.
Mr.. Osborne is fine young man
of good habits and fine appearance.
He is intelligent and honorable and
would make good senator. Were
there the least possible show for his
election in this district, the boys
would be justified in whooplng it up
for Osborne with all their might.
AS it is, all he can expect is conf
plimeDtsry vote. Mr.. Osborne is
Kentuckyan by birth. He came to
Chanute during the oil boom ex-
pecting to make stake on oil. He
did better, he married Miss Myrtle
Freeman, daughter of H. L. of
Racket Store fame.
We surely wish Mr.. Osborne some
thing better than waging a hopeless
fight.

YET FIRM

The President has cabled the war
department that his order, discharg-
ing the negro soldiers must stand
unless additional evidence can be
produced.
We do not know what additional
evidence he wants, unless the news
papers have very much distorted the
facts: There were some guilty SOL
diers in these companies that needed
discipline without a doubt. 1t has
not been proven that they were all
guilty but the contrary that some
were innocent. 1t is reversing the
old adage to say that it is better that
many innocent should suffer than
few guilty escape. We surely
think an injustice has been done N
this case and that it should be cor
rected at once. The president
seems to have got off on the wrong
foot for once.
We think when he investigates
this matter carefully, his love of
justice will prompt him to correct
the mistake.
