ROOSEVELT IN ITALY.

Eek President Roosevelt reached
Italy in due course on his trip and
was received with the greatest
demonstrations of respect, not only
by the titled heads aud officers but
by all classes of people.
The ovation he received is more
of tribute to the American peo
pie as a nation than to Roosevelt
personally. 1t is surprising what a
profound respect that Spanish war
kindled In the minds Of all old
country men for that wonderful
nation across the sea. Our national
policies since have increased their
admiration and wonder till they
consider a plain American citizen
on an equality with king.

DIAZ ACCEPTS.

President Diaz of Mexico has
again agreed TO stand for the
election for president. That means
that he will be elected without op
position.
An election in Mexico is simply a
kind of formal way of announcing
the wishes of the president.
President Diaz. has proven him
self a wonderful man. He tosk
charge of his country good many
years age, after having fought him
self to the head, and has proven
himself a wonderful benefactor to
his country. He soon brought
order and discipline out of caos,
and established law and order where
riot reigned.
The country has made wonderful
strides forward under his wise and
far seeing rule.
True he has ruled with strong
and at times dlctatorial hand, yet,
he has ruled wisely and his country
is reaping the benefit.
Diaz is much past the prime Of
life and would, doubtless, be glad
20 turn over the presidency to somt
younger man and be freed from the
worry did not he feel that his
country needs his services yet o
little while. But there will come q
time when Mexico will have to get
along without Diaz' strong hand,
1t is to be hoped that his success
sor is now in training fer the place
and that he will be equal 10 the
occasion, and that there will not bt
toe many of him.

make something of himself. He
came to Kansas City and got a
clerical position in packing house.
He studied advertising and became
a member of The Journals advertis
ing staff. Wherever he was tried
he "made good" in the expressive
parlauce of the day. Now he is
gettiag $500 a month. All the in
herent but undevoloPcd genius ex
taRt would not have got it for him.
No setbacks or drawbacks could
have kept it from aim. 1t was Gin
him., just as it is fin" thousands of
other bright young men who are
able to do the same If they will.
1t wasn't luck that raised DR..
Garfield from the furrow to the
university presidency. 1t wasn't
luck tnat put Walter Mcmillan
where he is. That sort of success
doesn't depend on luck. There is
no army of opposing forces that can
completely withstand ths onslaught
of brains, pluck, modesty and
worthiness of purpose, sslf-confi
dence and stick-to it-iveness- To
sustain the semi military figure, no
young man could choose better OF
more auspicious motto thaa the
conclusion of one of DR.. Canfield's
fine Lectures delived in the Jewish
temple here many years ago. After
making splendid plea for the
marshaling of all ones forces
against the adversaries that stoed
between the young man and success,
he exclaimed: "Attentionl Guide
center! Forward march," Victory
in greater or less measure is assured.

done for his constituents is con-
cerned he will cut just as much ice
If he feeds on dollar day fare as
he will if he boards at swell place
where he is touched for $40 per
diem in addition to the tips he has
to give the walters in order to call
their attention to the fact that a
member of the American congress
is present and seeking for something
to stay his hunger. AS he will
probably not amount to much any
way he shelld have the satisfaction
of saving a part of his salary.
If we were congressman we
think that we would be an insurgent
right from the start, not that eur
insurging would really do any par
ticular good bat just because it
would be a variation from beng told
what we should do aHd what we
should not do and how we should
vote on all questions. 1t would be
sort of pleasant It seems to US to
feel that we weren't just a kind of
jumping jack to kick and jump
when the string was pulled and
keep quiet the rest of the time.
But then if we really were q con-

there is a remote chance of our
being, we night change our mind
about the insurEsnt business. We
might bow eur neck gracefully and

THE CITY ELECTION.

according to program Tuesday OF
this week. There was light vote
cut but there were seme surprises
Notwithstanding.
The voters seemed inclined TO
vote their honest sentiments regard
less of party affiliation or the warn
ings of would be party bosses. A
party nomination in the city of at
least 500 Republican majority,
counted as nothing.
The people are disguised and
determined to have change.
Whether the change will result iii
betterment of conditions, remains
to be seen.
The results are a distinct slap at
the tail of the Erie political kite.
The gang of self instituted political
managers that, few years back,
organized to run the Republican
politics Of the city, and succeeded
ia dividing up most of the sPolls
among themselves and their hench-
men, regardless of honor or fair
ness, have received their knock out
blow in this election.
The gang will not dictate the
policy of this administration, nor
will it be consulted very freely.
Mr.. F. M. Abbott, the mayor
elect, is one of the very best citizens
of Chanute. He is strictly fair
minded and has had years OF ex-
perience in city affairs. We do not
see why he will not make first
class mayor.
Mr.. Willfong, elected police
Judge, is not a politician, he is a
crippled railroad man whom the
citizens desired to favor. We think
he will be equal to the emergencies
of the Office.
John Terrill of the third ward,
retained his place On the council by
rather a narrow margin. John has
grown inte a very useful member of
\the council. He devotes a great
deal of time to the work of the city
to the detriment of his own business.
Mr.. Bideau, his worthy eellegue,
is new in the business, but should
make a very useful councilman as
he is level headed and good busl-
ness man.
John Pratt of the first ward was
reelected. Mr.. Pratt has usually
proved himself to be all right wher'
ever he has been put. His associ,
ate will be Mr.. J. E. Powell whe
will make good.
In the 4th ward there was nc
contest on councilman. c. B.
Amyx and J. c. Hayes being the
only nominees fer the long anc
short term. They are both new
men but will try earnestly to win
their spurs the first year.
The votels of the fourth ward
took the bits in their teeth on the
school board proposition ano
elected the two independent candi
dates, w. C. TomliAsOn and Amos
Lapham. They are both old teachers
and good men for the board.
r. N. Allen was elected member
frem the first ward and r. w. Chap
pie frem the second.
Mark Gibson was reelected from
the third.
All told, We are right well pleaseC
with the men elected from the vari
Gus Offices and trust they will al
make good.
