Elsewhere are published the names Of
the Democratic candidates whose names
will appear on the primary election bal
lot August End, and as there is no op-
position in the Democratic ranks for nomi-
nations, these candidates are the same as
nominated. The ticket is composed Of
representative business men covering
different portions Of the county, and are
capable Of performing the duties Of the
Offices to which they aspire. The Demo
cratic party is justified in feeling proud
Of this ticket. and the voters are offered,
in these candidates, men Of stainless rep
utation and loyal in all respects. As the
campaign approaches nearer to the cleo
tion-after the primary election IL
August determines the identity Of
the Republican candidates Index
will endeavor to set forth the reasons
why the Democratic candidates should
be elected. Until that time it shall be
our policy to complacently view the
scenes in the enemy's camp and,
if opportunity presents itself, to give the
Republican hosts some valuable, al
though free, advice.

By virtue Of the technical requirements
Of the primary election law, an interest
ing contest between the regulars" and
insurgents" has been Cancelled here in
Medicine Lodge. Chairman H. H.
Case Of the republican county central
committee was candidate for reelection
as precinct committeeman. He did not
look after his petition himself but entrust-
ed it to lesser standpatter who failed to
secure sufficient number Of signers to
give the name place on the ballot. A
candidate for precinct committeeman
must have at least ten per cent Of the
party vote Of his precinct represented on
his petition, while the minimum for other
candidates is three per cent. AS the
time for filing has expired, w. L. Bragg,
the insurgent candidate, has clear field.
MIR. Bragg came very near losing out for
the same reason but the discovery was
made by his hackers in the eleventh
hour and the requisite number Of signers
was secured before the feline's eyes
were "sot." We are sorry to learn that
this state Of affairs exists. We should
have liked to have seen the regulars and
the insurgents Of Medicine Lodge town.

"Noblest Traits of Manhood"

The following are the responses by
some of the city's business and pro-
feSSional men, to Rev. VanHorn's
question, what is the Noblest Trait
of Young Manhood?", read in the
Presbyterian pulpit before the preach
ing service Sunday night:
A doctor: Unqualified, uncalculat-
ing, unimpeachable and absolute
honesty is the noblest trait of a young
man.
A merchant: A good character,
which has been attained by sObriety,
industry, and living clean moral life
is the noblest trait of young man.
A real estate man: Honor, upright
ness and an ambition to do and be
something worth while is the noblest
trait Of young man.
A dentist: An honest purpose in
life, together with a personal honesty
that is above suspicion or criticism, is
the noblest trait of young man.
A lawyer: Absolute devotion and
fidelity to himself and his own con-
science is the noblest trait of young
man. Such a young man, according
to my judgment and based upon my
OOSSINdUlOIl, Will US True 10 Ills OOO
and his fellowmen; because a young
man never goes very far wrong with
out first smothering and then drown
ing his conscience.
A ranchman: Honesty in the full
est and broadcast sense is the noblest
trait of young man; because we read
that an honest man is the noblest
work of God. Such young man has
right to look to God, who is not
impenetrable and far away for his
blessing, but to a God who is Just,
merciful and by his side; and who,
whether he dispenses providences, bit
ter or sweet, seeks to develop within
him those qualities that prepare hfns
to live with and enjoy God forever.
An editor: / believe that the no.
blest trait Of young manhood is to
unite industry and righteousness with
the pleasures of life in such a way
that he will avoid the pitfalls of sir
in every form, and illuminate his life
so as to make it worthy of an example
and inspiration.
A professor: / consider the nobles1
trait of young manhood to be one who
discharges all duties vigorously anc
gladly, who chooses for himself anC
tries to maintain Bible ideas of pur
ity, both Of body and mind, and who
exercises a Christlike consideration
| for the rights Of Others.

There will be no preaching next Sab

sired that the members of this church,
who can, will attend the union preach
ing service. which will be held in the
courthouse yard during the months Of
July and August. These union meet
inss have been objected to on the ground
that many Of the members Of the differ
emit churche. would neglect the assem-
bling Of themselves for the worship Of
God; because it was not under the au-
spices Of their denomination. It would
certainly be humiliation to me. and

Senator Gore of Oklahoma threw
bomb into the senate one day last week
when he made the startling statement
that he had been offered $4,000 to
withdraw his objection to the McMunay
Indian land contracts. He duplicates
several men in congress and an ex-sena-
tor from Kansas but refused to give any
names. Congress is now busy invesi-

One Of the Democratic candidate. for

attaches no blame to the father who has
been steadfast in the faith during his

that the son devotes two columns in
championing the fathers candidacy
which is the gracious thing to do, but

FLAG FOR CHAPTER HOUSE
The Los Angeles chapter has had
two beautiful flags presented to it-a
silk flag given at the housewarming
by Mrs. Marian Lesly Carlisle, Miss
Lucy Smith and Newton Reynolds;
and on Flag day q big flag was given
by twelve members of Uncle Sam post.
Now comes a generous offer for the
new chapter house to be built by E.

Hunt and her brother, Hartwel G.
Reeder Of Los Angeles, who will pre-
sent a flag in memory of their mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Reeder. Mrs Reeder
was an ardent worker in any cause
for the advancement of women and
was identified for many years with
patriotic work. She considered the
American flag the most beautiful in
the world, and this presentation will
be fitting memorial to her. She was
a descendant of James Wilson,
signer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Her father immigrated from
Tennessee to st. Louis when Mrs.
Reeder was q child, and she lived
there until she came to Los Angeles,
where she resided until her death,
July 5, 1908. Mrs. Hunt and Mr..
Reeder, the donors, are especially in
terested in the American Woman's
league, as they were born and raised
in st. Louis, the home of the national
center of the league.

APATHY OF OFFICIALS
MAKES WAY FOR CHOLERA
St. Petersburg Papers Criticise
Lack of Prevention

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. S.-The
disgust and impatience felt here and
daily expressed in the newspapers at
the hearted and Intellectual at
tempts of the authorities to stamp out
the cholera, have been increased by
the discovery that vessels loaded with
grain from Odessa, where there is
plague as we'll as cholera, are allowed
to enter St. Petersburg without any
medical inspection or sanitary pre-
cautions whatever. Such a vessel has
been discharging Odessa grain on the
cuays of the Neva for several days
past, having brought with it some of
the rats of Odessa, which are being
officially eXterminated as far as pos
sible in the latter town in order to
prevent the spread of the Infection.
The sanitary regulations of the port
of St. Petersburg appear to be those
of the time of Peter the Great, 200
years ago, but without Peter the
Greats genius and energy in dealing
with emergencies. The NoVoye
Vremya declares that the dead bu-
reaucratic Journalism, official careless
ness, and the mediaeval habits of the
uncultured population, have combined
in a conspiracy to sow Russia with
the seeds of disease and destruction.
The highest Russian medical and
sanitary authorities are beginning to
express the most pessmistic views
concerning the unhealthiness of Rus
sia. One of them has just declared
his belief that the cholera will be
worse next year. Professor Veliam-
inoff also certifies to the failure of all
measures against it. as long as the in
sanitation in the towns and villages
is not radically dealt with Out of
II ,0S2 towns throughout the country
only thirty-eight have any kind Of
drainage at all and only 1872 are pro-
Vided with q water supply.
