A DUTY to Republication.

Tho q. A. z. post at Abilene will probably
ret action on the old soldier preference law.
competent old soldier at that place was an
applicant for the appointment as CITY clerk
Int Mayor Rice appointed his nephew. At
torney General Jackson was appealed to and
he says the Law must be obeyed as must ail
other laws. The result may be that Mayor
Rice will be ousted. -[Junction City Union
Comment like the above Is going
the rounds Of the state press and Is
attracting much attention from the
old soldiers Of Kansas and the action
Of the county attorney Of Dickinson
county will be watched with great
interest.
The case is clear.cut, definite one
with every facility for making .
SQUARE test Of the law AMI County
Attorney Parent owes it to the Re-
publican party Of this county to see
that such test is made on behalf Of
the old soldiers Of whom over 400 are
residents Of Dickinson. 1t was the
work OF men now in the ranks OF the
G. A. R. that made possible organiza-
ton and perpetuity Of the Republican
party and 1t would be an act OF bad
faith for Republican official to fail
to carry out the plain statutes in the
matter. Mr.. Parent is under no
obligations to act as a man Friday to
A. W. Rice who makes no pretentionS
to being Republican, who has been
ever against the Republican ticket.
For the good of the Republican
party and in justice to the 400 old
soldiers of Dickinson county the
county attorney should make a
square, fair test Of the matter and II
the old soldiers are entitled to the
place let them have it. The sheer OF
the Chronicle that they have more
than their share was unkind and not
true. Mayor Rice has named only
one old soldier in all his appoint
ments and that after being forced to
it and when he had squirmed his
best to get out Of it. He evidently
does not intend to "tote fair" but the
county attorney should not let that
bad example influence him.
