MRS. J. W. sTIcKNEY.

Mrs. ]. W. Stickney, one of the
early day residents of this county,
died at her home in this city Sunday
morning, March %, aged 81 years, 8
months and 10 days. Mrs. Stickney
had been in poor health for several
years, suffering form a complication
of diseases, and some weeks ago suf-
fered a severe attack Of lagrippe,
from which she had almost recovered
when she suffered a relapse from
which pneumonia developed. She
had been very low for the past two
weeks and her death was not unex-
pected.
Mrs. Stickney was a native of Ten
nessee, removing to Kansas with her
parents when a young girl and the
family located at Seneca, where in
1866 she was united in marriage to
J. W. Stickney, resident of that
place. To the union eight children
were born, seven of whom, with the
husband, survive her. The family
moved to Barton county in the late
70s, locating in Wheatland township
where Mr.. Stickney purchased land
and where he conducted a store fol
many years, the government finally
establishing a postoffice at the place
and giving it the name of Stickney
On account of advanced years ant
poor health, Mr.. and Mrs. Stickney
and one daughter moved to this city
about five years ago, and have since
made Great Bend their home.
The children are Morgan, w. L.
Roy and Hal, all of whom live in thu
Hoisington vicinity; Ora, who live
McCracken; Angie, who lives a
home with her parents, and Mrs
Edith Grey, who has also made he
home here for some time. Funera
services were held at the home Mon
day afternoon and interment made Il

throughout the county deeply sympa
thise with the bereaved in the loss o
a true and good wife and mother,
woman who by her life and precept
was an inspiration for the higher an
better things of life, and who ha
done full well her share of the bette
ment of the world by her kindl
Christian life.

J. c. Fanshier. for more than a
quarter f a century a resident Of
Stafford county. living near Seward,
died at his home there Sunday,
March %. aged rs years, 5 months
and 3 days, death resulting from can
Ger from which he had suffered for a
long time.
Mr.. Fanshier was born in Cass

resided for some years before COM
ing to Kansas in 1886. Mrs. Fan

south side; Mrs. Grace Pike, Of
Eden, Ohio; Mrs. Ella Woody, who
lives in Canada, and T. L. and Will
Fanshier of the Seward neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Fanshier was a man who will
be sorely missed not only by the fam
lily, but by the hosts of friends he
has made and kept during his long
residence in the Seward community.
He was a kindly Christian gentleman
who believed in the application Of the
Golden Rule in the everyday life; a
good husband and father, generous
and helpful neighbor; a citizen who
took keen interest in the affairs Of
the community and of the world and
who has done his full share towards
the development and the prosperity
of this great country, man who wa
a man indeed, and his many friends
join with the family in sincere griei
over his loss.
Funearl services were held at the
late home Tuesday afternoon ant

THE SITUATION IN CITY POLITICS


Since our last issue nominations
have been filed for a portion of a
ticket in opposition to the one nomi-
mated by the Citizens Mass conven-
ton. Mic Smith Is candidate for
mayor against D. C. Luse. There is
no nomination excepting that of L.
P. Aber for Commissioner in charge
of streets and alleys and public i'm
provements for the two year term.
C. L. Moses is in the field as can
didate against DR.. L. D. Lewis for
the three year term as commission
er of finance. There have also been
filed nominations of DR.. E. E. Morri-
son as member of the school board
and Sam Gwinn as member of that
body from the outlying districts. The
indications now are that the big
fight will be over the commissioner
of finance. A considerable amount
of partisanship is evident and this
seems likely to develop into pretty
good scrap, not particularly between
the candidates themselves, nor as a
result of any noticeable activity on
the part of either of them, but will
be a factional fight between the sup
porters of the two candidates.
Politics as a matter of party lines
has as yet failed to be a noticeable
factor in connection with the city
election and its influence probably
will not be felt. There is no occa-
sion for any newspaper to discuss
the relative merits of any of the
candidates. They are all well known
and justly popular gentlemen, each
of them possessing certain personal
qualifications which may make him
fit or unfit for the position to which
he aspires. We cannot all see things
from the same angle. If such were
the case there would be no strife
over the election.
One thing all voters must remem-
Der is that the success or failure of
the new city government under the
commission form depends solely upon
the calibre of the men chosen to
serve you. This is a matter suffi-
GENTLY vital to the interests of all
concerned that prejudice or the in
clination to stand by a friend simply
because he is a good fellow should
not enter into your deliberations whel
choosing your candidate for any Of
these public positions, as the present
city administration is turning things
over to the new one in a condition
which requires level heads and ex
perience to handle. Out of possible
1000 voters about 1900 are register
ed.
| From % to 30. per cent Of the wo
men of the town eligible to vote

however, are essential to a full under

Foreign Trade Must be Developed.
THE most emphatic conviction with
which / have taken up the duties of
secretary OF commerce pertains to our
foreign trade. Foreign trade is an
absolute necessity in keeping our fac
tories open n active. The rapidly
of u manufacturing DEVELOPMENT
which, as The Nations Business has
said, is increasing in a ratio vastly
greater than that Of population means
that saturation of the American mar
ket is already here in some directions
and will promptly arrive in many 9TH
er directions. 1t is most gratifying to
see that foreign trade is rapidly in
creasing year by year. The energies
be directed toward stimulating those
increases and thus rendering an en-
during service to American business.
/ look to see the scope Of the depart
ment enlarged as rapidly as added ap-
preparations will permit.
Il wish to a to the business men
of America through the columns Of
The Nations Business that 1 have in
herited the care of a highly organized
department that reflects credit upon
the vision and efforts of my predeces-
sors in the secretaryship. Messrs. Cor
telyou. Metcalf. Straus, and Nagel.
Within three weeks after assuming
the duties that these gentlemen per-
formed in the past, 1t would be inap-
propriate for me to speak definitely as
to the future of a department whose
duties are already SO scientifically
elaborated. In the statement which
I have made. l am simply expressing
hopes of changes that can be brought
to pass and thus add to the efficiency
of the department. In this work l
| count upon the business men Of Amer
lea to counsel and sustain me" as
