REPUBLICANS NAME CANDIDATES.
No One Named for Senator. Large Con-
yention. CoWles and HarshaW Speak,

The Republican County Con-
vention, probably the most re-
spectacle and largest attended one
ever held in the county, was in
session here Saturday.
A caucus was held by the lead
ers prior to the converting of the
convention.
While this caucus was in session
Chairman Sims announced that
Congressman Cowles was present
and would make a few remarks
and introduce the principal speak
er. After a frief speech the young
Congressman from the eighth in
PRODUCED the Republican "war-
horse" as he is sometimes called,
of Caldwell county, Moses N.
Harshaw, Esq, who made one Of
his characteristic speeches. He
spoke at length and made his ap-
peal principally to the farmers
who composed more than two
thirds of his audience and from
the way in which they punctured
in his speech with applause it was
plain that they we're in sympathy
with what he was telling them.
The most notable declaration
made by Mr.. Harshaw was his in
depreciation of the meaning of the
loeal sslf-xovsrnmsnt plank in the
Republican State platform which
he defined to mean making tho
county the unit on the prohibit
5ion and wal strong in his convic.
ton that every county should be
given the privilege of settling for
itself this ever-present question of
prohibition.
AT the close Of the speech-mak-
ing the convention organized by
electing John L Rendleman, ESQ,
chairman, and Phillip Peacock
and G. E. Mills, secretaries. The
nomination of county candidates
was at once taken up and M. G.
NJ. Fisher, of Faith was named
for sheriff; II. II, Hart of Mount
Ulla, register of deeds; R. M.
Leonard of Salisbury, treasurer !;
DR.. E. NJ. Summerell of Steele,
coroner; Jesse A. Crowell of Spen.
Ger and S. E. Sloop of Atyell for
the House; G. A. Gutfey, G. W.

and J. II. Caldwell, county com.
mlssloners. No one was named
for the State Senate to oppose the
Democratic nominee, A. II. Boy
den, neither were candidates
named for county judge. county
solicitor, surveyor or clerk of the
court. Should it be decided to
put out men for these places the
committee will name the candi-
dates at a later day.
At a meeting of the executive
committee Chairman Jchn A.,
Sims rendered his resignation ow-
ing to i'll health and W. A. Fogle.
man was chosen to succeed him
The ticket so far is composed of
some of the best people in the
county, and any republican not
satisfied with it as a whole is in
deed hard to please. We would
like to call attention to the vari-
GUS good qualities of each candi-
date, but as they are pretty gener-
ally known and esteemed we feel
this is not necessary, however a
comparison of some of the candi-
dates with their opponents on the
Democratic ticket would be quite
striking. The candidates for the
House of Representatives. and the
one for coroner are unusually
strong and popular and will poll
q very large vote.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR COUNTRY.

There are some gifts this country
needs, and that woman can put in it's
Christmas stocking, says Harper's Ba-
Ear for December. If she does not,
America will go without them, day by
day, throughout year after year, and
suffer for the lack. One is the gift of
pure food, in every home-pure food
which never will be reached until the
women of the United States insist upon
its manufacture, it's presence on the
grocery shelves, its safeguarding by
adequate law.
Another gift needed is that of the
right of every American child to live,
to be educated until its fourteenth year,
to be protected against the forces Of
greed and of evil. Christianity means
this or it means nothing; and yet ba-
bies all over the land die by the thou
sand, poisoned by stale milk or MUIR
dered by tenement conditions; and lit
tie children toll, dwarfed and exploit
ed, in American mills and mines and
sweatshops. Not until every woman
helps to give every child it's life and
it's rights in our land has she come
into the true national spirit of Christ

MONEY FROM SOME WEEDS.

Any weeds on your place? asks the
Kansas Industrialist and it continues:
One years seeding, the old farm prov.
erb says, is seven years wedding. Bet
ter get busy and do something. The
big stick in the weed industry is to
prevent the seeding-no royal road, no,
easy task, but mighty important to
every farmer. You just have to ge.
down and work hard if once you get
a fine stand of weeds. Watch all your
seed, know it is clean; send it to the
Kansas State Agricultural college, de-
partment of botany, if necessary, and
have it analysed.
OF course if you're going into the
weed business it's different. Some of the
most noxious weeds that thrive today
are the sources of crude drugs now
obtained wholly or in part from
abroad. The plants from which medi-
cines are made, burdock, dandeIion,
couch-grass, pokeweed, tansy, catnip.
jimson-weed, etc, can be collected and
sold as crude drugs. The prices paid
are not high. Yet, if in getting rid OF
weeds and thus increasing the value
of the land the farmer can make the
weed a source of a small income in
stead of a loss, it isn't a poor idea

ESTIMATES NEEDED CUTTING.

James A Nation, the state auditor,
appears to have used much excellent
discernment in his handling of the
estimates of the moneys which the
heads of the three large state educa-
tional institutions think they will need
during the next couple of years for the
conduct of these institutions. He has
slashed these estimates right and left
and pared them down to the bone.
But he does not seem to have SO re-
duced the material items in them in
any way that will interfere with the
management of these institutions along
desirable and progressive lines. His
knitting has been more concerned with
weeding-out of the extras" that
each of these institutions would like to
have. but which they can get along
very well without for the present.
Kansans have been exceedingly lib
eral with their appropriations for the
State university, the State Agricultural
college and the State Normal college
during the past few years. They have
been glad to develop. these institutions
to a high plane. where they will rank
favorably with similar institutions in
other states. They are proud of the
success in this particular which has
been achieved by the men to whom the
management of these Institutions has
been entrusted. And they would pro-
test loudly against any effort on the
part of state officials or the legislature
to make money allowances to these in
situations which would cripple them in
any way.
But they are not disposed to have
these institutions extravagantly con-
Quoted or developed. There is no need
why unusually large sums of money
should be expended all in lump within
three or four years to provide these
institutions with every possible educa-
tional adjunct that some of the older
educational institutions of the country
have been a generation or two in ac-
quiring. It would appear that the less
haste the most speed rule would be a
good one to apply in this particular.
These institutions should be developed
and enlarged but the development and
enlargement should be gradual
And Kansans may we'll be pardoned
for arriving at the conclusion that the
ever increasing demands from the
heads of these institutions, for money
with which to do this and that, are
stimulated by a rivalry between these
same institutions to get ahead Of each
other. Such rivalry should not exist.
Unfortunately, it does. The only way
to wipe it out will be by putting the
supervisory administration Of all Of the
educational institutions SUPPORTED by
the state in the hands of one educa-
tfonal board
