appointed trains that has ever arrived

grand and past grand encampment Of
ficers of the Kansas and the crack
No. team of Newton, famous for it's
wonderful drill feats. These Kansans
began formally to make preparations
as early as last August to come to the
triennial and as a climax of their ac-
tivities are determined to carry off
several prizes, and have chosen as the
special object of their competitive eff
forts the $4,000 check that will be one
of the awards in the drills to be held

JUSTICE HUGHES WILL
BE SEEN In THE "MOVIES'

New York, June 14.-Charles Ev-
ans Hughes, whiskers, smile and all,
is to look every American square in
the eye and prove to each that he is
not an iceberg.
The movies will be the medium. 1t
became known at the candidate's
headquarters in the Astor hotel that
the national committee is already
making arrangements to have pictures
of Hughes shown in practically every
movie house in the United States. 1t
is held that this will dispel the inn
preston that Mr.. Hughes is "think-
ing machine" rather than Irregular
fellow"
Slipping into the crush of persons
who throng headquarters IN strenu-
Gus efforts to get good seats on the
band wagon was messenger boy
who brought the candidate 48 four
leaf clovers-the gift of William C.
Douglas of Delhi, N. Y, where Hughes
once taught school, and John j. Wa.
ters of Mechanicsville. 1t was in the
region of Mechanicsville that Hughes
in his more sportive days, pursued the
festive squirrel to his doom.
Another gift was the cane carried
by John C. Fremont, the first Re.

CONGRESSMAN EDWARDS STAND
You can say what you please, but
Charlie Edwards is generally on the
right side. In taking the part of
Mr.. Watson, Mr.. Edwards simply
stood by his own State and his own
people. Mr.. Edwards, in common
with other Southern people, believes
in the rights Of the individual citi-
zen to the extent that when charged
with crime, no matter how great
Or how small, the defendant has a
right to trial by jury Of his peers
in his own jurisdiction.
We are glad to see Mr.. Edwards
broad enough to lay aside personal
prejudice, if even, in fact, he ever
entertained any against Mr. Watson,
and pull Off his coat for a common
cause, in the interest Of one Of our
distinguished citizens
The above is sample Of one man,
and the arrogant action of the tom
tit junior Senator is another. Mr..
Hardwick was too small to rise to
the occasion, but Mr. Edwards did
the right thing, and he is nearly
always right. Savannah Hawkeye.
