THAT PARDON.

Governor Hoch is receiving con-
siderable .censure from the news
papers and from different citizens
for the pardon of John Collins,
We are inclined to the opinion
that the governor did about right
in the pardon. John may have
\ been implicated in the affair. He

FAIR MS YEAR.

At a meeting held in the City
Hall Monday night it was agreed
tina, Chanute would have a regular
old fashioned agricultural far this
year. We have always contended
that if the fair association OF this
city would go at the matter right
and work up an interest among the
farmers, giving them to understand
that their products should have
place and that reasonable premiums
would be paid on merltorious art
icles, that the thing could be made
to pay out. We may be wrong but
we want to see it tried once anyway.
Tried right, not half tried. Then
# crop conditions ere favorable and
the fair is financial failure, we
will say we were wrong.
The Cnanute fair, for year has
beea simply horse race. The
horse part is ali right, and maAy
lake a lively interest in it, but there
aea many who want the agricultural
interests represented and not the
whole force spent in the race ring.
This locality is woefully deficient
4 well bred stock. Much behind
other localities of the state.
This should not be SO. Every
farmer should have all the stock
his farm will accommodate and that
stock should be of the best. Al
present the stock is owned by few
and that not always of the bes'
quality.
An agricultural fair with sufficient
premiumt offered to induce farmers
who have good stock to put 1t on
display would have a great tendency
to induce more farmerst0 stock up
and stimulate those who have stock
10 improve the breeds.
We believe the FARMERS OF this
locality will take an interest in the
matter II 1t is properly put before
them and they are giveG to under
stand that 1t is their fatr more than
anybodys else and that the success
and pecpe,uation of it depends on
them.

NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.

Yes, another yea: has been added
to the past. The volume is bound
aad laid on the shelf and the record
cannot be chan ed.
For good or for bad ii must stand
No doubt we all made mistakes and
many of them. Some of them were
thoughtless and unIntentional, but
mistakes still. However innocently
they may have been made their evil
effects will be just the same.
At the beginning of the new yesr
we make our resolves for the future,
and soon proceed to break them and
drop back into tine old rut. II is
probably better to make good re
solve and break it than to make no
effort at betterment OF self. Al
earnest resolve to do better and
faithful effort to keep the pledge,
though we fail in the end, has
strengthened character and made Us
better able TO succeed in the nexI
effort. This world is not composed
entirely of saints and we must taxi
it as il is, not as we would have L..
The man who would reform thr
world must begin with himself. The
reformatioR will not come In day,
but every life has an influence OF
every life with which it comes il
contact. And every life influence
by asy one transmits that influence
to those it meets aad thus each lif,
influence is multiplied continually
through coming generations.
Ne may not realize that We ar
doing much good during the span q
our short life aud if oar coed deed
died with US they would be yer
J! limited In their power for COED
4 But they do Rot die. They live i
\ the minds aud hearts Of others ye
to come.
4 The influence of the Christ, cou
sidcred only as good man wit
heart overaowi1g with loving kind
Ass towsSd hgIna nanity, is much NOR
potent in the world today afte
1000 years have elapsed since Hi
visit than ever before. We may no
hope to approach His perfection o
character bat we may see to it tha
our lives grow better and purer a
the years 10 by and that cur in
lAuence may be exerted for the gooo
and the true IN life that the worl'
may be the better and not worse TO

The Hsrgis jury that tried young
Hargis for the killing of his father,
near Irwin in Kentucky, failed to
agree. Nine of the twelve favored
acquittal. Hargis senior, who was
killed, was the great Kentacky feu-

several men. II is but fitting that
