Friendly to Mulvanc.
The convention was made up almost
entirely of Shawnee county Republi-
cans friendly to the candidacy of D. w
Mulvane for national committeeman
from Kansas. Consequently the dele
cations which will go to the state and
First district conventions will be for
Mulvane-and there are fifty-seVen
Republicans in each delegation. J. R
Burrow also lives in Shawnee county
and is a candidate for national COM
mitteeman but his candidacy did
not have a look-in at todays conven-
ton.

KANSAS SCHOOL COST.

Kansas has $26,0O0,O0O invested in
schools and spends $12,000,060 an
nually on education. And as Mr.. Ross,
the state superintendent of education,
says. this investment is the largest and
most important Kansas enterprise. Nor
is Mr.. Ross satisfied with the divi-
dends. He insists that our schools
must give more, better and different
training if they are to fill the bill. And
an important question is as to whether
or not Kansas is getting her moneys
worth out of her educational invest
ment. whether the schools can give a
larger and better training on the
money that is now devoted to them,
or whether more will be required.
Kansas is undoubtedly most willing
and anxious to pay the cost of provid-
ing her children with the education
they should have, but Kansas is also
naturally interested in obtaining a
dollars worth of education for every
dollar invested in it.

SHE WAS SO KIND
Lady's Effort to Take Child to
Mama Landed 1t in Orphanage.

New York, Feb. 22.-The kindly
person who just goes right ahead
and helps without asking questions
chlpped in a full day of anxiety for
John Roros and his wife, who live
at 101 East 9th street, and caused
Margaret Roros. who is going on two
years, to spend the night in the
Founding asylum.
Margaret was playing last evening
near a subway kiosk. A woman and
two children came by. and went into
the subway. Then came the kindly
person. who didn't ask any questions.
but was certain that Margaret be-
longed to the mother of the two, and
had been left behind. She asked Mar
garet if she wanted her mama, and
Margaret said, Yes"
So Margaret was taken down into
the subway and put alongside of the
woman and the other two children.
The kindly person helped Margaret
aboard a train, too, and sat her down
beside the two children. After a time
the kindly person left the train, and
then the other woman knew that Mar
garet was a pickup. The police sent
her to the founding asylum. Roros
found her there today

FILTER TURNS RoBBER.

After his experience in eating the
bait set in the mice trap, Filter de-
termined to have more of that good
food. Whats the use of my eating
nuts and eating nuts all the winter
long when there is good meat to be
had? 1 will find some more trapsi"
For you sec, Filter was not entire
ly a nut-eating animal. In the sum-
along with Bushy Beaver and winter
and summer, whenever he could get
them, he ate young birds or birds
eggs: though nuts of course were his
main food. Now, having tasted the
meat from the mink trap, he imme-
diately wanted more-that was only
natural.
That same night, his mother ex-
planned 10 him the best way to rob
traps and gave him every caution
should spring. Till finally FILTER felt
sure he could rob a trap quite as well
as she could.
So the next night he set out
From his home tree he journeyed
towards the swamp land, running up
the tree trunks and flying down to
the ground in his own particular
fashion Perhaps you think that
would be a slow way to travel-and
maybe it would be for you. But Fit
ter could go very rapidly. And he
always felt so safe. For every time
before he sailed to the ground, he
could look around for danger. You
may be sure that had there been anv
danger lurking in the night, Filters
bright eyes would have found it,
After he had gore several rods, h.
shifted around the ground inquiringly.
Don't believe l will climb up another
tree he said to himself thought
fully, Il think / smell something good
right leari" And sure enough. In
about two seconds he had located that
nearest trap. and taken nibbIe of the
baiti
Yum, yum. but that is gcod,' he
whispered. and now for more:'
And would you believe it, that
greedy little Filter robbed four traps
before he even stopped to think.

MULvANE WALKAWAY

urged that one member of the colored
race be sent to the national conVen-
ton as delegate.
Short speecehs were made by w. F.
Schoch. Mrs Mary Chaplin, James
MulIin, p H. Coney and ]. S. Dean.
The delegate committee and the reso-
lutions committee took their time
about reporting and the time interven-
ing was taken up with these talks.
The resolutions committee was first to
report. The resolutions were read by
P. H. Coney and were adopted unani-
mously adopted.
Following praises of the Republi-
can party and denunciation of the
Democratic party the resolutions de-
clared for national woman's suffrage
in response to the talk made by Mrs.
Monroe early in the meeting. They
denounced the Democrats of Okla
homa for attempting to nullify the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution and endorsed the
Republican members of congress from
Kansas and the Republican state of
ficials.
The resolutions adopted by the
county convention without a dissent
ing vote were as follows:
Over three years of Democratic vas
cillation and incompetency once more
has demonstrated the inability of that
party to conduct the affairs of this
great nation.
American lives and American prop
erty have been sacrificed on land and
sea without serious or effective at
tempts to uphold the dignity of
American citizenship or the rights of
American citizens.
UJnWiSe revenue legislation has con-
verified a large treasury surplus to q
large deficit, Notwithstanding the I'M
precedented act of the Democratic
time of peace thus again vindicating
the protective tariff policy of the Re
publican party.
United and invincible, the Republi-
can party approaches the coming ma
tional election with confidence of a
was ever given to any party and fol-
lowing this attainment will come
prosperity and peace unprecedented IN
human history.
Resolved. That We endorse our rep
resentatives in congress and the ad-
ministration of our state officials.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
national woman's suffrage and if q
resolution is presented in the state
and district conventions advocating
same, we hereby instruct the delegates
from Shawnee county to support it;
and be it further
Resolved. That we condemn the acts
of the Democratic party of Oklahoma
in attempting to nullify the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the con-
stitution of the United States and we
denounce the outrages against the COL
ored citizens in southern states
