Champ Clark's Regrets.

Thomas F Donnelly, president of the
National Democratic Club, read a letter
from Speaker Clark, who wrote:
You may rest assured 1t is with very
great regret l discover my official duties
require my presence here just at the time
when l hoped, in company with the gal
liant democrats. of the Empire state, to
be allowed to add my humble tribute to
the fmperishable services Thomas Jeffer-
son rendered not only to American de-
mocracy, but to the sacred cause of free
government throughout the world
My regret at my enforced absence
from your dinner is the greater because
| had hoped to extend hand of cordial
good fellowship to your other guests
whose names, like my own, will be pre-
sented at Baltimore for the nomination
by the democratic party as its candidate
for the presidency. That is an ambition
which any American citizen may wor-
thily cherish. and n aid of which he may
sistance offered to him without detract-
ing in the slightest degree from the quail
ties Of the other aspirants for the same
high honor.
1T Is not for us to pass Judgment on
our respective merits. That belongs and
lected for that purpose by the vast army
OF faithful democrats throughout the
Union. who constitute the democratic
party and who. in due time, by their ac-
credited representatives, WILL as they
only can, speak in its august name.
To the standard bearer thus chosen
and to the platform adopted by that con-
yention all loyal democrats will rally as
one man. forgetting all past differences
in support of the standard bearer and the
banner confided to him to carry to VIC
tory. Such a candidate, standing upon
such platform, will marshal the VIC
torious hosts to an enduring victory next
November"

WHY NOT TRY FOR ONE.

Why wouldn't It be a good thing
for Claflin people to have a Stal
nail route between here and Elnn
wood? Such a thing would put ClaE
lin in communication with The out
side world about a day ahead Of what
now IS. It would mean that We
could have the Kansas City morning
l'apers here at the noon hour instead
OF having to waft until after supper
and most Of the time until the next
morning before we get these papers.
They would get into Ellinwood at
800 in the morning and that would
give plenty of time to get them here
By noon.
Ho-sington on the west of us has
ta.S service, and in addition to this
! also has the train service, and why
are we not just as much entitled to
This service as towns farther west of

We believe that if the proper peO-

kind that this service could be pro
cured, and besides it wouldn't hurt
anything to give the matter a try

IN FAVOR OF LOCAL OPTION.

Prof. Augustus Raymond Ha'ton-
The fundamental difficulty of state
Wide prohibition is that it does not
take into account the thousands of
persons who not only do not believe
IN the policy of suppression, but those
who see no wrong in a moderate in
dulgence i'm intoxicantS. These per-
sons, while deplOning the evils of
drunkenness, are as sincere in their
views as those who would attempt to
suppress the liquor traffic. The defect
OF the policy Of statewide prohibition
Is enhanced by our system of local ad
min!stration of general state laws.
With officers locally chosen It is too
much to expect the vigorous enforce
ment of laws 70 which their cons.f-
tUents are opposed. Even an active
and compact minority is usually able
10 SET a. liquor law at defiance. TAX
ing no account of the objection to
state enforcement as a violation of
Che principle Of home rule the expe.
dient, when tried, has never been per-
manently successful. The strain up
on the state government has proved
too great, enforcement has been spas
modic and i'm the end the attempt has
always been abandoned. Judging
from experience it seems fairly clear
that statewide prohibition is very
likely to break down when applied to
the law. In the absence of such SEN
timent the law is usually none or less
openly violated with the attendant re-
suit Of '1cOuraging lack Of negaNd for
law dn general. Local option is seen
" be free of many objections made
against the policy to prohibit. "

FARRELL A RAILWAY POET.

Writing about the high cost of liy-
ing, Walt Mason lately turned out the
following bit of jingle:
"A stately squash grew on vine
that hung upon fence, and it was
large and smooth and fine, and sold
for seven cents. The buyer put It IN
crate and shipped it off to town;
the railway charged ten cents for
freight, and got the money down.
Then divers kinds of middlemen pass
ed that old squash along, and each
one got a rake-off then, in which they
saw no wrong. The jobber 10 the
grocer sold that squash one autumn
day, and it was SCARED and bruised
and old, and tending TO decay. The
farmer man who raised that squash
to town came on his wheel; at din
ner time he said: B gosh, III have a
good square meal So 10 a restau-
rant he sped, and ate some squash on
ice, and then he sOOd upon his head
when he was told the price. Your
price on sqUasheS makes me hot, he
cried; your game is bunk. I'd sell
a wagon load for what you charged
me for that chunk. Our eyes with
teardrops are awash, we're viewing
with alarm; for when we go to buy
squash, we have to buy a farm

mind goes by the hundred weight, and
half a cent is all that's charged un-
der the current rate. | don't know
what the farmer paid for squash that
autumn day; nor what the middleman
raked off as it passed by his way.
