the old mans mind is failing. Other
wise. why try to reason with Kansas
1t is time for Uncle Joe to retire. His
faculties are undoubtedly failing. Else
why KANSAS?
But speaking OF insurgency in Kan
sas, has anybody heard any explanation
from that wild and woody region oil
their own Congressman's votes LOT a
high tariff on zinc and barytes for
the benefit of Kansas industries? In
other words, Kansas is like most
folks-only more so. When It went
bowling crazy over Populism, it saw
the hope of more dollars set before it
When it sounded the ''tom-toms' for
greenbacks it was seeing more dol
lars coming its way And SO when 1t
insurges, it is careful to iasurge
against the domination OF the great
business interests OF the East''-and
against that only. The business in
terests OF Kansas are carefully pro-
tected by its Congressman with high
est possible duties. What sickening
lot OF hypocrisy there is in the world,
and where can you find more Of it than
in this business OF tariff talk and tariff
tinkering Oh, no, insurgency in Kan
sas does not mean thing in the
world. You could get a full vote in
Kansas, for the free and unlimited
coinage" OF hydrophobia if Kansas
were well stocked with mad dogs
which possibly it is.

Has the Cecil Democrat come over to
the dry" camp, after all these years
OF fierce fighting for license? If that
acrobatic journal will now take its
whiskey advertisements out OF its col
umns, and il its editor will promise to
vote against license, we will freely
forgive its iil-disguised attempts to
manufacture little political capital
out OF the WHO'S controversy with
the Superintendent OF the Anti Saloon
League. The Democrat can have the
political capital and welcome, for
aught we care, if we can get its vote
for the continuance of no-license, But
can we? In fact, a good deal OF this
Misrepresentation OF the WING on

passing strange that the people of Bal

awake daily newspapers, two of which
have never shown any great desire to
cover up any Shortcomings in the po-
ice or any other depa ~tment, have not
discovered that a Organization IS
needed, while the Governor has all al
once become imbued wit hthis idea.
Ii is also strange that even the Gov

on in the third year of his term, when
the political moves incident to the next

else in the world, it might call for the
serious consideration OF political phlo-
sophers. But in KANSAS Why,
anything is likely 10 come out of Kan

wierd political nostrums Any old
sort OF insurgency can inserge in that
land of "greenbacks' and general

thing in the whole matter is Uncle

We do not believe the editor OF the
Democrat is quite so stupid as the
above item would indicate. He has
seen our editorial OF July 9th and
knows exactly why mandamus pro-
ceedings were not instituted; for in
that editorial we recited the facts
WITH DATES. We showed therein
that on june 2Ist we had told the
Commissioners that if the proper de-
post was not made to the credit Of
the sinking fund.- mandamus proceed
ings would be instituted, compelling
such deposit. The very next day, June
22d, such deposit was made. Oh
course, no proceedings were then ne
cessary. as we had accomplished what
we set out to accomplish, and that is
what has become OF that mandamus
proceeding" But the public has well
noted, and the editor OF the Democrat
only succeeds in keeping the TACT en-
phasized, THAT SUCH DEPOSIT

TIL MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS

there we get Back to the POINT"
The editor OF the Democrat knows all
this perfectly well. The stuff he writes
in defense Of the present County gov
eminent makes no preston, except
on those who are too blind to see
how things are going or too ignorant
to understand the peculiarly valu-
able relation which the editor OF the
Democrat holds to the Crothers
County and State Administration. A
subsidized advocate has little weight
with an intelligent pubic.

yOTHlNG seems to be so much
NJ engaging the attention OF De
\ mocratic circles as the so-called
passing OF Bryan's leadership. In
many quarters his much heralded poll
teal demise is hailed with unconcealed
delight, as relieving the party from
the leadership OF a peerless orator
who has only led it to defeat and dis
ruption. Such rejoicing seems, how
ever, quite premature. Whatever one
may think OF Mr.. Bryans variegated
political doctrines or OF his effect on
the national fortunes of the Demo
cratic party it certainly seems super
fetal reckoning to regard him as a
dead 'un'', politically, simply because
his county option plank was defeated
n the late Nebraska convention, Mr.
Bryan has filled, and yet fills, too
large a place in American politics to
be regarded as suddenly a nonenity,
simply because he has been outvoted
on a purely local issue. 1t might be
remembered that Mr.. Bryan has been
outyoted ON good many issues in
the last decade or SO, and has std
found himself able to come back
when the gong sounded for another
round in the political arena. 1t seems
peculiarly il-judged to talk Of him as
permanently disposed OF in this case.
because he was defeated on an issue
that is not only morally sound but
political wise. Mr.. Bryan was sim

neighbors to adopt a county option

seems hard to dispute the reasonable

more on that Democratic convention
than on William Jennings Bryan.
But how puerie to talk OF the pass

that defeat! 1t only goes to show how
the wish is father TO the thought"
how eager many Democrats are for
MIR. Bryan's elimination. Meanwhile
Mr.. Bryan declines to he eliminated
as he very vigorously proves by his
late reply in the "Commoner" to Sena-
tor Rayner, OF this State. Which goes
to show, by the way, that the Repub-
lican ranks are not the only ranks
where two wings are at logger heads.

CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. Craighill Bides at Home.

WAYNE ard Dick Wingtieid breakfasted
at the club on the morning of their re
turn. Notwithstanding Col. Craighi.I's
skepticism as to the purpose of their eX-
cursion, they had really been to Phiiadei-
phia to Mask and Wig entertainment
Of university men. Wingfeld had watch
ed with interest Wayne's prolonged alb
stinence and wondered whether it could
be possible that his friend had really re-
formed Wingiield, himself most abb
stemious had been careful not to place
Itemptation in his friends way; and he
had taken Wayne to Philadelphia the bet
ter to keep track OF him at a time when,
he knew by experience, Wayne was likely
to make one OF his mad plunges.
They discussed the morning news as
they ate.
Il note that your father has shot a
broadside into the administration up at
Boston Here are a few yards of the
speech"
"Humph" grunted Wayne.
Every likely you enjoyed private re-
hearsal of the Grafton, so it isn't new to
you"
/ You flatter me- Fathers speeches are
not a subject of family counsel
| II suppose Mrs. Craighill will be great
help to your father in his public life

taste of reform now and Will, no doubt.

l should leave the place if 1t got good.
By the way. how about our friend, Pad
dock, the fighting parson? Did you know
that mother has taken him up? Pad
docks Self-Sacrifice and devotion to hui

"Paddocks all right. He's good fell
low, but he's overloaded with sentiment
talism. l don't believe 1 told you l had
been out to look at his joint at Iron
stead
You did not, Mr. Craighill. Were you
ashamed of me. or We're you just afraid
I'd contaminate the place."
Il was afraid you would be bored. I
took some risks myself. but it didn't seem
decent to refuse when I'm the oldest
friend he has here. 1t was like the chap
to come to town and bury himself in the
CRIME and filth for six months before I
heard Of him. But l went to his religious
vaudeville, which was rather below par
as shows go; but the crowd was better
than the bill. and you might say. in
classic phrase, that pleasant time was
had"

Dear me, 7 must get in on this Pad
dock wave. He sounds very promising.
The first thing we know they'll be snatch
ing him up for heresy and I've always
wanted to know hereto. 1t would be
quite an experience to attend and COM
fort a convicted hereto in his last merry
moments before they chuck him into a
coke oven to sizzle for ever and ever"
Wayne grinned at this cheerful forecast
Of Paddock's immolatiOn.
They'd better let Paddock alone. He
doesn't pretend to know anything about
theology. He has a curious fancy that
the man-beast can be tanned by kindness
and made to feed from the hand It's
this old observation-disclosures business you
read about in the magazines.
