returning to Concordia. He modesty
told US of the demand being made on
him. but that he had so far refused to
consent. as the politica! game was dis
tasteful to him and that he had no pa
tience with the chronic politician and
office seeker. We prt the question
straight to him. pointing to his fine Sue
cess as business man. and to the
glorious opportunities this magnificent
country Of ours had given him. and the
happiness that had come to him and his
family because of this ''land OF the free
and the home OF the brave" if he did not
owe something OF himself to the business
of government? We tried to point out to
him that whatever here was of evil in
practical politics was the fault of such
men as he. for negleoting their obligation
to the government in taking an active
part in IFS shaping We feel certain now
that Mr.. Culp. having that sort of breed
ing in him anyway. has come to feel his
obligation and will give service to his
community and state. He is western
man and talks the western language. A
farmer and stockraiser all his life. no
man IN his district is better qualified to
know the needs of the people in that
part of Colorado whom he will present.
La Junta is IN that district. and that is a
railway center. being big division of
the Santa Fe system. His large exper
lance as shipper. makes him familiar
with the railway Of the state and of the
legislation connected Herewith. Above
ali. tho. is the sterling character of the
man. his unflInohing devotion to the
things that are fine and worth while in
life. which will bs the sheetanchor of his
work as legislator. II the people of
that part of the great Arkansas Valley,
with whom we are not altogether un-
familiar, measure up to the high esteem
in which we hold them, will do their

From the Concordia Daily Kansan:
An item of news comes to US from
Colorado Of peculiar interest to Cloud
and Mitchell county people. especially
those who are classed among the old
settlers. The Republicans of the Ser
atorial district in Colorado. comprising
Otero and Crowley counties. have NOM
mated c. S Culp. of Rocky Ford. for
state Senator. Mr.. CUP was raised at
Scottsville. his father. Hon. c. w. Culp.
taking up his homestead on the land now
adjoining the townsite. and where the
family home is yet maintained. in 1880.
The elder Culp helped to organize Nit
chell county and Andrews History Of
Kansas states that he was the first JUS
tice OF the Peace elected in Mitchell
county. Tnree of the townships Of that
county were named by him: He was
for several years one of the County
Commissioners. One of the most men,
orabe conventions he'd in this part Of
the state was the Senatorial convention
known as the "Culp's Barn Convention"
held in the early eighties, when Mitchell
and Cloud counties were joined in one
Senatorial district. The big octagonal
barn on the Culp ranch being near the
county line, and Scottsville not having
a hall large enough for such a gathering.
the meeting was held in the barn. and 1t
lasted several days in deadlock. The
delegates slept in the hay in the lulls
between taking the ballots. Hon. |. D.
Young was finally nominated. So the
younger Culp has come up from child
hood in an atmosphere of patriotism and
Of public servce-his fine father. now
President of the Scottsville bank. being
a veteran of the civil war and always
taking his share Of the duties the citizen
owes to the community and the govern
ment. 1t is not so very many years ago
since the two "Culp Boys" perhaps
being impatient with the business linn
itations Of the old home neiRhborhood.
went west. They soon became known
as big dealers in sheep in New Mexico
and also in Colorado-as feeders and as
buyers and sellers Of sheep on large
scale. Their activities have spread 10
adjacent mountain states. until they are
now known as among the foremost in
that line OF business. Mr.. Culp moved
his family to Rocky Ford few years
ago. that his children might enjoy the
advantages of its fine schools. and otner
conveniences that come to such a fine
town, and his neighbors have prevailed
on him to give part Of his time to the
state as one of its lawmakers On our
last trip to that part Of Colorado. last
March. it was our pleasure to have Mr..
Culp as fellow passenger on the train

The attempt of certain people to mis-
lead and falsify concerning the position
of Samuel D. Nicholson on the liquor
question will not succeed in face of the
strong resolution and pledge adopted at
the Republican state assembly. The
resolution is as follows:
"We pledge ourselves to the unqualified
and continued enforcement of the pro-
hlbitlon laws Of this state. and we oppose
any and all measures including the pro-
posed initiative "beer amendment" so
called. which will in any manner tend to
abrogate or render inefficient the pro-
visions Of the existing law. and declare
that the adoption Of the so-callad "beer
amendment" will render the enforce
ment Of the present prohibition law
practically impossible"

Republican candidate for State Senator
for the Twenty Third Senatorial District.
has for six years been resident OF Rocky
Ford and by those who know him is con-
sidered to be one Of the ablest and most
influential citizens of Otero county. He
is prominent sheepman and was instru-
mental in the organization of the Arkan-
sas Valley Live Stock Association. of

COMMUNICATED
] Curtis COrrects Two Statements Made During His Primary Campaign.

Editor of the Herald:-
 During the primary campaign for the mayoralty nomination, l stated if any satisfa ctory evidence was shown me as to errors or inaccuracies in any public statements as to city affairs made by me at that time, I would as publicly correct them. The city en- gineer has brought two such to my at tention
 One was that the Black Rock ave- nue permanent pavement was started under Mayor Halloran's ad minstratiOn and finished during Mayor Quigleys first year, when in fact it was started during Mayor Quigleys first year as mayor, and completed early in his second year.
 The other was that no permanent pavement was put down during Mayor Quigley's regime except Lafay ettc street, for which s8,500.0O was appropriated and s6,300 used, when the actual facts are that nearly $6,600.00 was used on Lafayette street, and most of the balance on a section of BigelOw street, between Church and Chestnut streets, which also has a similar pavement to Lafay- cite street, only I hope it is left in better shape. Having been covered with dirt during the winter, and just uncovered last Friday or Saturday, 1 have not seen it.
 The above inaccuracies are account cd for by incomplete reports or none at all, and furthermore, have 10 bear ing or effect on the statements l made as to street work and the efficiency and business of city management, in fact they further emphasize my con- tentions.
 Respectfully,

Saving the Country" Again.
Springfield Republican,

The old slogan of Saving the country" is to have new lease Of life this year. We are also to be given choice of methods of salva- ton, and one of them is being vic- lently preached as the only simon pure article. Political history, like all other kinds, has a way of repeating itself. Some voters are old enough to remember when the utter inade- quacy of Abraham Lincoln's way was most bitterly set forth. What did the homely lawyer from Illinois know about war and saving the republic from overwhelming disaster? Never theless, the plain people of the North declined to swap horses while cross ing a stream," as the president of the United States put it and their faih was ultimately justified by a reunited and more splendid republic.
 Perhaps this is a time, as that one was, in which the impatient should cultivate patience. Much as some citizens would like to start in to wipe Mexico, Germany and a few other nations off the map, it should not be overlooked that the undertak- ing is likely to be what the boys call "some job" And then, if it could be done hand. perhaps the in vostment might not prove to be of the right sort in it's future results. Many are the terrible warnings of the hour now as then Nevertheless, lincoln's sloW-mOVing, constructive statesmanship was the best thing for a majority of the people of the United States to get behind. Hair trigger methods may not be the rem edy that our troubles ought to re- CciVe.
 The time comes on apace when the candidates for the political battle of the coming November must, be chosen, but also time. remains in which the people can do a lot of thinking. There is plenty of need for it on both sides of the political fence. It does not pay either the nation or the individual to get swept off ones feet" in matters of supreme move ment,

What Are "CoSsacks"'
Waterbury Republican,


 "Cossacks'' is usually the mildest term used by the opponents of the state police system for the Pennsyl- vania state police. The reproach has been uttered so often that to mention the Pennsylvania constabulary brings up a picture of a big brute of mounted policeman shooting a striker. Evidently it was quite time that the friends of the state police system were heard from and it happened the other day at a legislative hearing in New York state.
 In the course of the hearing, which was upon a bill to establish a state police force, one of the opponents of the measure declared that there was no reason why there should be a force of merican COsSa cks in New York state even if they have them in Penn sylvania. The commander of the Penn sylvania "Cossacks" happened to be present and he told the nature of the work done by the men under his com mand.
 There are 22S men in the Pennsyl- vania constabulary. All but three of them arc honorably discharged United States soldiers With excellent army records. In the year 1915 those state policemen patrolled 667, ,SS2 miles and made 3,027 arrests, resulting in 2.600 convictions. Of these arrests ninety five per cent. was made in rural dis tricts. They covered all sorts of crimes. As for riot duty, to which the opponents of such a police inst1- tuition particularly object. the aver, age time devoted to it was one day in the year.
