THE COUNTRY WEEKLY.

An Eastern exchange says: '"The
weekly newspaper in the country town
does much for the upbuilding of the
community. 1t represents at all times
the best thought of the people. It en-
ters into the lives of its readers and
knows their joys and sorrows. It very
properly should and does stand for all
that is clean and decent, and condemns
all that is bad.
Wickedness does not thrive in most
country towns, for which fact the coun-
try weekly is largely responsible.
When you read it in the country pa
per you feel that it is so. Black is
not made to appear white. Crooked
ness is not suppressed or whitewashed.
The views of the county editor may
sometimes be erroneous, but they car
generally be depended upon and promr
ted by an honest heart. That is why
they have weight in the neighborhood
where they are circulated.

A Salvation Army party drew big
crowds on our streets the past week,
bigger crowds than attend either of
our churches, and most of the audience
were those who never attend churches,
who this time heard practical religion
That is the grand part of that great
Army; they do not go into the churches
of the rich and the hypocrites, but go
out into the highways and preach true,
practical religion to the masses, show
ing them the right and the wrong, and
giving them ideas that cannot help but
open the eyes and do good. It is one
of the troubles of the present-day reli-
gion-that too many go for show, they
make pretense, while their lips are
foul, their acts hypocracy, and disgusts
an honest believer in the sayings of our
Bible.

Decoration day was damp, rainy anC
cold, so fire place was comfortable
Our citizens generally decorated theil
residences and business places, many
went out to the cemetery with flowers
At 10 O'Clock the old soldiers marched
or rode out there and held their servi
ces, and in the afternoon a good au
dience assembled at the hall to lister
to the address and exercises.
Home grown flowers were scarce Sc
the floral display was limited, but many
beautiful flowers were brought in from
eastern hothouses, and many former
citizens sent kind remembrances.
Murphy's sent elegant flowers from
California for their lot.
On the grave of mother Madden was
the only floral design, pillow of pret-
ty white daisies.
Mrs. Joe Clark sent box of lovely
flowers for their daughters grave.
Will Robinson was up from Lawrence
Decoration day. He brought trunk
full of roses and beautiful flowers and
covered his cemetery lot.
Beautiful flowers came from Mrs C..
c. Brosius at Loveland, Col. to place
on Mr.. Brosius' grave.
Mrs. Putsy Miller Hyde came home
to visit her mother and scatter flowers
on her fathers grave, bringing some
handsome ones.
Charlie Blackman remembered his
comrades in our cemetery who had an
swered the long roll call, purchased a
lot of large flags and decorated each
of their graves early Decoration day.
He placed one specially on the grave
of his old neighbor, Billy Dalton, while
Miss Alice Freese placed Salina flowers
on the graves of Billy, Susan and the

The Clarkson Parole matter.

Nearly everyone along the Saline val
ley and many in Hays signed petition
to the Governor, asking him to parole
from the Hutchinson Reformatory the
young Clarkson boy who was mixed up
in the Finch chicken case, believing
that liquor had got him into trouble,
he was but grown boy and had now
learned a lesson, and parole would
give him a chance to see if he wanted
to be good and make an honorable cit
izen of himself.
Gov. Hoch carefully read over all
the papers and sent this reply to one of
the signers, and, by request, we here
publish so all who signed can see his
decision :
my attitude toward the Reforma-
tory is quite different from my attitude
toward the Penitentiary. l seldom
interfere in reformatory cases because
the law and the rules governing that
institution are so liberal that do not
wish to interfere with their opera tion,
and never do except in extraordinary
cases. The parole power possessed
by the Board of Managers is very ex-
tensively exercised, indeed there are
nearly as many young men out on pa
role as there are inmates within the
walls. So leave this parole business
almost wholly to the Board of Mana
gers. To do otherwise would destroy
discipline in the institution and give the
Managers an infinite amount of trouble.
do not therefore think it wise for
me to interfere in the Clarkson case
though I confess it appeals to me
strongly. Very truly yours,
E. w. HOCH.
