Here is the way the Lawrence
World sizes up the POLITICAL
contest for August's primaries:
Leland has long been known as
the shrewdest and most re-
sourceful politician in Kansas.
and he is calling upon every
resource for its, fullest contrib
ution to his candidacy, just now.
If he wins, the victory will be a
tribute to the power of organ
lied, machine politics. And if
he is defeated, it will mean that
there is no possible combination
that can defeat the reform move
ment in Kansas under the new
primary election system.

Senator Long will be in Kan

promptly to take the stump in
behalf of his candidacy for re-
nomination. Mr.. Long stated
at the state convention that he
would run on his record. Pur-

votes which purports to give his
record and TO which William

Thirty-five Votes of Senator
Long.

The object of government has
been defined as ''the greatest
good of the greatest number. :"
A public servant in Congress or
elsewhere by keeping that as a
maxim before him will seldom
go far wrong; it is agood test of
the merit of any measure that is
introduced in a legislative body.
The objection to the thirty
five votes which w. A. White
cites of Congressman and Sena-
tor Long >is that these votes
were against the good and the
interest of the many and in the
interest of few.
Senator Long will have ample
opportunity to justify the thirty
five votes cited his side has not
been heard. But Kansas should
not and will not send men to
Congress or keep men in Con-
gress if it understands that their
votes are not for "the greatest
good of the greatest number"
or are in the interest of a few at
the expense of the many. This
is plain common sense and self
preservation. Nobody is ignor-
ant that during long period it
was easy to get special privileges
and that because of the easy
going policy of Congress in pro-
noting "big business" not
necessarily corruptly, but be-
cause the great object in mind
was to boom the country and
make it grow and prosper, the
country today is face to face
with the problem of preserving
its natural resources from ex-
haustion. There has never been
a session of Congress that some
far-sighted interests were not on
the ground with plausible meas
ures up their sleeves for de
veloping the country" which in
fact were nothing but measures
to get possession OF some part
of the public wealth or domain
and exploit the public.
These bills mentioned in Mr..
Whites article are condemned
by him as of exactly that kind,
schemes to secure special priv
ileges and advantages against
the public interests. If they
were, on the contrary, honest
and reasonable measures in the
interest of the many rather than
of a few exploiters or grafters
or schemers, Senator Long will
undou btedly be able to show the
fact. They are his votes.-

MAY II, 1908.
A Poor Appeal to Co10red
Voters.

A leading oo1ored man of
sSedgwick county is quoted as
saying that the friends of Mr..
Leland have corTalled a large
majority of the negro voters of
that county by circulating the
story of the abolishment of the
"Stubbs Legislature" of fifteen
Jobs in the House and Senate,
chiefly superintendent and as
=sistant superintendent of ''ven-
tilation,' held by negroes.
That the Stubs Legislature
threw fifteen colored men out
of jobs is used by Mr.. Leiand's
friends to prejudice the negro
vote wherever it is an important
vote in the state.
The so-called Stubs Legis-
1ature as a matter of fact abolish
sed 27O of these political jobs, so
that if fifteen colored men were
thrown out, upwards Of 200
white men also were put off the
public pay roll. The COMPARE
.son does not indicate prejudice
ION the ground of color. The
Legislature found a great num-
Der of unnecessary $3-a-day
offices created to take care of
political hangers-on and to pay
campaign debts, at the public
expense. It abolished these
places regardless of whether
white men or negroes happened
ito hold them.
Do the friends of Mr.. Leland
who have used this act of econ
.omy by the reform Legislature
as a political club to drive negro
voters from supporting Mr..
SStubbs mean to commit them
selves or Leland to restore these
jobs? Are fifteen useless Offices
to be created to supply fifteen
scolore' w 'rkers With So per from
the Stale! And if it is proposed
ito restore the fifteen jobs held
by negroes, how about the up
wards of 200 other jobs not held
by negroes?
In an open letter last week
State Bank Commissioner Royce
-romplimented MIR. Leland highly
as one of the most successful
business men of Kansas. AS a
business man we doubt if he will
allow himself to be committed
by his fool friends to program
of restoring JOB lot of USELESS
offices or encouraging the Leg
dslature to do so.-Topeka Capt.

$500 AND SIX MONTHS FOR
VIOLATING LOCAL OPTION

G.. c. Hand, a former saloon
keeper of Huntington, was arrested
several weeks ago charged with
selling whiskey in violation of the
local option law. He was arraigned
before Squire J. p. Zolman and
bound over to certain day for trial.
When the day came around he ap-
pearod, but disqualified Squire Hol-
man and Squire Cundiff, both the
Justices of the Peace at Farming
ton, and demanded change of
venue, which of course was granted
him, and his case was sent to Squire
George NJ. Fraser of Flat River.
Squire Fraser elected to try the case
in Pennington and set last Wednes-
day for the trial.
On that day the court convened, Il
Jury was summoned and the trial
proceeded, taking up a large part OF
the afternoon. Prosecuting Attor'
ney X. G. Tucker appeared for the
State, and Bart H. Boyer and Jas
per N. Burks for Pand. The jury
returned u verdict of ofguilty and fixed
Hands punishment at six months
In jail and fine of 800. The case
was appealed to the Circuit Court
1t is strange what risk some peo'
pie will take In order to sell little
whiskey. The profit of "bootleg'
ging" is not large even II one were
sure of not being caught, and when
for single violation of the law he
may be fined more than he could
make In a year by clandestinely
selling intoxicants, 1t must be that
his desire to break the law Is greater
than the hope of IN Illicit profit. A
few examples of the determination
OF the officers to enforce tho Local
option law will compel q strict com
pliance on tho part Of would-be Law
breakers.

ANNOUNCED ENGAGEMENT
OF FARMINGToN YOUNG MAN
From The Mexico Ledger

Miss Annie Lewis was the very
charming hostess at II delightful
party, Monday afternoon, where she
announced the engagement Of Miss
Eugenia Davis to Mr.. j. F.. McCor-
mick Of Pennington. The guests,
thirty-ilve in number, had been in
vited to speud the time with Misses
Rose Guthrie, Bcrnice Silverstein
and Virginia Hancy and no suspicion
was entertained by anyone present
that fourth was to he added to the
happy list. Misses Guthrie, Silver
stein and Iancy stood in the hall to
receive greeting, the guests then
being directed To the library, there
to write good wishes" in the three
pretty handpainted, beribbOned book
let's provided for that purpose by the
hostess. This naturally caused
much wrinkling of brow and biting
Of pen, but at last all were ready to
enter into the game of "matrimOny," I"
for whose excellence in playing the
same Miss Della Sanders was
awarded "man" small In size but
none the less beautiful in her eye.
When Miss Lewis invited the
guests into the dining room whisper
went round that, instead of Il trio, II
quartet Of engaged girls would be
there, and this whisper was verified
at the dining room door, when, to
each guest was given II pink carna-
tion to which was tied, with pink
ribbon, heart shaped cards, bearing
the names OF Miss Davis and Mr..
Mccormick. Amidst the chorus of
astonishcd cXclamations, Miss Da-
Wis, dressed in white fruck and car
ryimg IA bunch Of red roses and look
ing exceedingly pretty, appeared,
and the four prospective brides took
their places at the table, the very
newest bride having the chair
adorned with bow of white ribbon.
Pretty decorations, symbolic Of
the occasion, adorned the table.
Pink hearts, four of which were
pierced with darts, swung by ribbons
from the chandelier, and saucy
cupid reigned supreme over the de-
fenscless throng. Flowers and pink
shaded candles added beauty to it's
appearance. Miss Guthrie cut the
ice cream, pink and heart shaped, to
each plate Of which Miss Yancy sup
piled the aesthetic IN the shape of II
fern frond, and Miss Silverstein the
useful, In II spoon, while Miss Davis
presided over the pink iced cake, II
delicate task, as 1t contained those
interesting articles, "A dime, II darn
ingneedle and IA ring, Misses Mable
Randc and Elizabeth Price came
into possession of the dime and
needle, but the ring persisted in re-
naming in the company of the
,,"four," and it was found necessary
to throw it amidst the bevy Of anX-
iously waiting girls. When Miss
Davis gave II Il toss there was n
grand scramble from which Miss
Lewis emerged victorious with the
trophy upon her finger.

LITTLE POLITE" BLUsHEs.
Iron County Meeting Results in Re-
publican Confusion,

One of the correspondents Of the
Iron County Register sends TO his
paper this week an account of Re
publican meeting at Cedar Grove
School house an Tuesday evening.
The account Is as follows;
FROM CEDAR GROVE SCHOOL
HoUsE-Mr. Editor, you should
have been here last night. Messrs.
Cook, Schwab and Standfill OF Iron
ton, and Mr.. Elvins, Republican
candidate for Congress, were here
to hold "ring busters" meeting,
but before the evening was half over
ii had developed into n Democratic
love feast. Little Polite was routed
horse, foot and dragons, and Stand
still looked as If he were a thousand
miles away. If the Democratic cen
tral committee can arrange to send
this bunch to every school house in
the county Wen have the biggest
Democratic majority this year in
the history OF Iron county. Elvins
made nice little talk, devoting
himself to State and national affairs
He was followed by Mr.. Stand
still, who tried to say something
about county affairs, dwelling at
length ON the refusal Of the Demo
cratic members OF the county court
to acquicscc in AnaniaS Schmidt s
plan for the county to buy school
books.
Then there were calls for Mr..
Damron, our prosecuting attorney,
whit happened to he present on his
way to the west end of the county.
Mr.. DamrOn said he would be glad
to talk provided he was accorded
unanimous consent--it was Re
publican meeting, and he did not
want to be an intruder. Unanimous
consent was given, aud Mr.. DamrOn
tor" the opposition to pieces.
In defending the action of the
county court, he read the letter from
State Superintendent Gass, wherein
he declared that the plan proposed
by Scmidt was wholly unwarrantcd
by law. Mr.. Elvins then attempted
to come to the relief of his confrcre,
declaring that Gass was no lawyer,
that he knew of one instance where
ruling of his had cost II st. Fran
co.'s county school district thous-
ands of dollars.
Here the speaker was interrupted
with the inquiry, "As lawyer,
give us your opinion of the law. -
Well, sir, that stumped him; Just
knocked little Polite clear of his
pins; he was thoroughly discmtitted; !;
blushed like II school girl, his rosy
cheeks grew roster; then he stutter-
ed, muttered and collapsed, but he
never answered the question. Oh,
II was n great meeting.

RECITAL.

Miss Elsie Caycc has established
the custom Of giving an organ re-
cital once n year at the Presbyterian
church to the great pleasure of her
many friends. 1t has always prov
en- IA most enjoyable affair, and
that last Monday night was still in
this line. Miss Caycc gave six
organ numbers, every one Of them
perfect in detail. Miss Clark, who
is great favorite, sang three mum
bers very swertly, responding To an
Ell core, Miss Virginia Clardy made
very creditable debut before her
Pennington friends, giving two
songs in n most charming manner.
The church was filled with an apprc-
.ciative audience, who were highly
delighted with the whole recital.
