He is an extensive land owner and has been successful beyond the average man in business life, and has become quite a financier, and is comfortably fixed, all being the result of his hard work, perseverance, energy and ability and honest methods, by which he has established a confidence in himself in the minds of the people with whom he came in contact that has brought him to his present financial, business and political success.

[Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] Senator Stewart, the Present Strong Republican Senator From That County Announces His Candidacy for Re-election. Senator Stewart, the able Senator from Sedgwick is again before the people of his county asking for the Republican nomination. The Senator is an able man, both in business and political matters, being cool, deliberate, capable and at the same time liberal minded. For many years he has resided in Sewick County and during that period has led an active life, and has been commonly successful in his private affairs as he has up to this time in his political life. He is and always has been a Republican, stands for civic honesty in public affairs and is opposed to craft wherever he encounters it. On the floor of the Senate chamber it was an able debater. He was one of the Senators who always wa in chair at roll call or when important matters were up for debate and consideration, unless necessarily absent in the committee room with some of the many important committees of which he was a member. The writer has been a frequent attendant at the sessions of the Senate and has seen Senator Stewart in action has observed his straight forward manner, noticed that he was always ready to go into action in defense of a good bill or to kill a bad one. He speaks extemporaneously and freely and with out thesome preliminary remarks; goes direct to the subject up for consideration. The writer also was pleased to note as he now is pleased to testify that this Senator was quick to rise, ready for a fight when he thought he saw graft or an effort to loot the public treasury. The Senator so far as is possible avoids factions. He is a Republican and stands for anything which is Republicanism, regardless of factions. As a legislator he thinks it is a Senator's duty to support good measures and prospective laws regardless of the fact that he, Senator Stewart, is not the author of it. With the Senator felousy has no place in legislative halls. The writer knows that more good measures have been killed in state legislatures and in the halls of congress than by any other means, not even excepting boodle and graft. Men stand in their place and fight and defeat good measures, measures which they are for, which their constituents want which the prope of the state and the nation want because the other fellow is the author of the bill, and this even though he may be of the same political party. William Pinkerton of the International detective agency bearing the Pinkerton name says the greatest number of crimes are committed because of property controversy, and the next greatest number by reason of jealousy. Senator Stewart will support any good measure without regard to whether or not he is the author of the 1 bill, resolution or motion then before the committee or body for consideration. As a rule legislator the first session or two they are in the legislature are mere students, and don't learn the tropes and become of much benefit to the people they represent until after they have been there a time or two and been thoroughly initiated. Senator Stewart has been there, he knows how, and he had the experience and can be of more and better service to the people of its Senatorial district and of the state at large that are hard to follow. Senator K. C. C. of the third 2. Railroads Read and High 1. Manufactures An investigation of the case in combination of the poll call and talk facts will disclose the fact that poll call and in that the Senator was on the right side of most men up for consideration and those who best know him attest to the fact that in any instance in which he was in the wrong place he did not thank he was that believed he was right. Such a man is a safe man for the people of Sedgewick County to return to the institution. --- POSTMASTER AT OSAWATOMIE. C. Clevenger, the well known and popular citizen and Republican of Osawatomie, who has been postmaster for several years, as an appointee of the late Congressman Mitchell, is proving to be one of the best liked postmasters in Kansas. He has lived in Kansas many years, part of the time in western Kansas and for the past fifteen years he been a resident of Osawatomie. His popularity as a postmaster and as a citizen are evidence of the fact that the late Congressman made no mistake when he recommended him to the President for postmaster of that popular and thriving Kansas town. Mr. Clevenger's many friends wish him well and believe he should be retained in his present position. HUTCHINSON, RENO COUNTY For County Superintendent. For County Superintendent. S. P. Rowlands is a candidate for superintendent of schools in Reno county. He is a Democrat and well known and liked among the Democrats and citizens generally. The journal of Education, a paper published in the east, speaking of a meeting held in Reno county some time since, has this to say of Mr. Rowlands: "The whole gathering was the result of Superintendent Rowlands' well directed work. This county has in the midst of a rich agricultural district, and the Superintendent realizing the condition of the people in that section and their financial success, sought to hold up high ideals by inducing the people to make the rural schools as attractive as possible in receiving the people. He is a fine superintendent." This sentiment as it appears in that journal, reflects the opinion of the man here in Reno county. In all his duties and in everything which he undertakes, he shows the same pride, care and ability. He should receive a handsome vote. H. M. Payne, the present incumbent is a candidate or re-election. Mr. Payne was a school teacher for eight years and is a native of Reno county. Two year ago he was elected county clerk and has performed the duties of that office with credit to himself. He is well liked by all with whom he has personal business or official dealings. He has always been a Republican and has served the party well in the past and until his candidacy for this office had never asked for any political preferment. It has been customary in Reno county to reward faithful public servants and give them a second term. Thus Mr. Payne now asks them to do for him, and as uses them he will in the future as in the past conduct the affairs of the office of county clerk in a manner to meet with their approval. Lot Clock of District Court. For Clerk of District Court. Carl A. Richardson, of Hutchinson and candidate for clerk of the district court, is a staunch Republican and nobly qualified from a clerical stand- point to perform the duties of that office. He has not in the past asked for anything in the political line, but thinks he can fill this office in a satis- tactory manner and asks for the sup- port of the people of Reno county.

Mayor of Chanute in the Race for Republican Nomination for Mr W. M. Gray, of Chanute, Kansas, whose cut is herewith produced, is a strong candidate for Congress.

He has been elected Mayor of Chanute and received a large and complimentary vote. His administration has been clean and brilliant. He uses the same business judgment and executive ability in public affairs as he applies to his private and business dealings. The people of Chanute and from all parts of the county have given him their hand and pledged their support. They know the man and believe in him. He will if elected make a strong Congressman and will take a place in the front rank among the best of men. Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed HON. J. B. ADAMS. GENERAL CONFERENCE NOTES. Report of the Committee on Plans for Church Building. To the A. M. E. General Conference. Kansas City, Mo. May 14, 1912. We, the committee on plans of church buildings, know and see daily the great need and demand for better supervision of church edifices and buildings of all kinds throughout the church in America and in the foreign countries, and see the growing will ment from nearly every pastor and layman in our connection, the call and almost demands for more keenful, up-to-date and classical church buildings with better sanitary conditions, mechanical structures, with modern improvements, with light and ventilation, so the health of thousands of our people will not be in danger from contagious diseases which we are liable to come in contact with in public gatherings. We believe the matter should claim our immediate attention more than it has. Offtimes money and material are wasted because care is not taken as to the manner of site, or style of the erection of our houses of worship, and Whereas our bishops, church edifice committee, general officers and in General Conference in session at Norfolk, Va, in their twenty-third annual address have called our attention to the same facts, which we so earnestly bring before you, we, your committee on plans for church buildings, therefore recommend the following: First: That the African Methodist Episcopal church establish the office of supervising architect, under the supervision of the church extension department, and that all plans, specification, supervision and drawings of any and all kinds and character be furnished by him, as far as practicable. Second: We further recommend that the above stated office be created by the General Conference without salary. The said supervising architect receiving the compensation or commission for his work from the different local churches, but in no instance will the price charged be more than the prices laid down by The American Institute of Architects, whose prices are generally accepted by the government of the United States, owners of property and the standing corporations. Third: We find by thorough investigation that our ministers throughout our connection are spending thousands of dollars yearly for poorly constructed edifices, with bad ventilation, cheap furniture and paying unreasonable prices to architects and builers. We recommend that as far as possible at all times, the pastors encourage their congregations to have our supervising architect so we may improve throughout the general connection the construction of better houses of worship. We believe this to be our duty to the church, to the state and to our God. We, therefore, after looking over the work and talking with many of our ministers, who have had buildings designed supervised and constructed under Prof. L. A. Lankford, M. M. B., architect and mechanical engineer, the father, generator and promoter of this movement, we recommend that he be elected by this General Conference to the office of supervising architect of the African Methodist Episcopal church, without salary.

A Genuine Hair Restorer Did you ever know of any hair preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair? There are many preparations highly advertised to do the work, but it is probably your experience that none of them will really meet the claims of their manufacturers. There are many so-called hair restorers which are nothing more than harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that they dyed the hair, having no permanency and often causing a streaky appearance. It has been the aim of the chemists for years to discover a preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, but heretofore they have met with no success. Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination of harmless vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Restorer and will grow hair and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the natural color and brilliancy to gray and faded hair. This is a very strong statement to make and if any chemist without the recognized ability and national reputation of Prof. Rembler were to make this claim we would be inclined to be skeptical as to its truth. It will be remembered by reader that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof. Rembler was the inventor of the one the process for gibling glass and also the Rembler Wireless Coherer. Any statement made by Prof. Rembler is entitled to consideration as he would not make any statements which were not true and would injure his established reputation. The Silicon Mfg Co of Pueblo, Colo., have purchased the exclusive American rights to manufacture Saginine, as they have named Prof Rembler's invention, after having made a six months' test of Saginne and thoroughly demonstrating that it would positively do the work. The Silicon Mfg. Co. have authorized us to make the following remarkable offer to all who need a "touping Hair Restorer." They will send a written agreement with every bottle of Sagine, to the effect that if one bottle of Sagine conscientiously used according to the directions does not give entire satisfaction to the purchaser of Sagine does not actually grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, remove dandruff and make the hair healthy and glassy, that they will pay the sum of $5 to any dissatisfied purchaser. This is the strongest offer ever made by any manufacturer and they could not possible make if they did not know positively from experience that it would do exactly what they claim for it. No one can take an chance in buying Sagine as it is certainly worth $1 to use a Genuine Hair Restorer that will really grow hair, and if it does not give satisfaction they will pay you the $5 as agreed. Send a $1 bill to the Siloron Mfg Co. Pueblo, Colo., stating that you wish to purchase a bottle of Sagine with the written agreement to grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair or pay you the sum of $5 and it will be out to you by express in plain manner.

Keep the bail roll- ing. Dispatchers from New Jersey give an account of a brother of a Roosevelt worker being run down by a motor. It was too bad too injure the brother. It seems that the press association is hard up for news when such junk is sent out. The session of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church just closed will go down in history as one in which more work was accomplished than at any in its existence and those who took part in its proceedings may well feel proud. While the sun shines warm we should give some heed to that which is to follow later on and not spend all we have on summer events, picnics, etc. Their remembrance won't keep us warm in winter, neither will it fill up empty space in our stomachs. Take warming now before the season is too far gone. The Rev. Mr. Gordon either knows what he is talking about when he is preaching on crime in Topoka or he does not know. If he knows where of he speaks let him swear out some warrants and call in his witnesses and cloak before the courts. If he is only presuming to know it will look better for him to close up the shop. Do one or the other, Rev. Gordon. It is amusing to note how changeable are some men. Two years ago one Dr. Carrothers, a political acrobat in the ministry, was out trying to turn over the earth to "get even" with Roosevelt, and galloped over the country in the East telling how infamous was the colonel, and now that same gentleman is out whooping 'em up for this same Teddy. Wonder if the bottom of Perkins' barrel fell out in the vicinity of this spellbinder! While investigations are in order some one should start an investigation into the conduct of the company supplying natural gas over this section of the country. Before the "pumping" process was installed the ordinary consumer paid from 60 to 90 cents per month through the summer month and from $100 to $100 per month during cold weather. When they paid for only gas. Now these same people, using the same number of stoves and the same amount of gas, pay double these figures. They are paying for half gas and half wired, the latter of most hot to urge the motor en. --- Considering the number of drunks looked at the police station and the number of trade being pulled of it would seem that "dry Kansas" is everything but dry. From the number of assistant attorneys general scattered through at the state it would appear rather expensive to preserve even a semblance of dryness. But even those who are hired to prosecute those who are dealing in "wet goods" seem to know where to go to quench their own thirst. It seems to be the general opinion that when the prohibitory law is enforced in Kansas will be when no more "wet goods" are made. People everywhere are complaining of the high cost of living and those who have products to sell are claiming for higher prices. The laborer wants more pay for his work and less work. The capitalist wants more work from his laborers and demands them sufficiently well paid. Can it be possible to supply all these wants? A few years ago farmers were satisfied to raise wheat at 500 and 100 cents per bushel, corn at 50 cents, etc. Stock investors thought five cents per pound for meat a good price and thinned the markets. Common laborers accepted $1.00 per day, ten hours per day, and raised some money. A millionaire was a ranty. What's your worst? All over this country there can be found colored men who are supplying therefore Roosevelt as against President Taft. Just why they are doing so is a hard and tangling proposition. Let all these men compute the records of those men and see where in their support should go: Mr. Roosevelt entered politics in New York City as a commissioner of police and under his regime every colored man on the police force was dismissed and none were put on in their places until Richard Croker, Democratic "boss," got back in power. Mr. Roosevelt went to Cuba with a tough rider crowd of bullets who imagined that a whop and a yell would run all the Spaniards in the sea. These were being hatched like sheep among wolves when the colored soldiers (real soldiers) came to their rescue. Mr. Roosevelt "took" the glory to himself which belonged to these black boys and on its wings role into the governorship of New York and repaid these same brave soldiers by proclaiming to the world that they "would fight, but a white man would have to lead them" and claimed the honor to himself of having led them. For seven years Mr. Roosevelt was president of the United States and for seven years lynchings, burnings and mob rule was rampant in the nation and he never raised his voice once against it. The Brownville case was where Mr. Roosevelt could have shown his respect of the colored soldiers who saved him and his rough riders at San Juan, but he heaped up insult on injury and dismissed these men from the army without honor and absolutely refused to grant them a trial of any kind, either by jury or court martial, and after Senators Potoket and Penrose exposed him in that infamous outrage he declared that if Congress passed a law restituting those men that he (King Roosevelt) would refuse to recognize it. When the Oklahoma application was up for admission to statehood, with its "Jim Crow" and "grandfather" clauses attached, a delegation of colored men from all parts of Oklahoma called upon Mr. Roosevelt at Washington to plead with him not to sign the proclamation of admittance, with those two objectionable clauses, and he refused to hear them and signed the proclamation in their presence with a vengeance as good as to say: "Go to." When Mr. Roosevelt's mother was about to be married a colored slave woman was sold, the proceeds of which went to the purchase of wedding finery, and today that southern blood ranks supreme in the heart of Roosevelt. In his present campaign Mr. Roosevelt has set up an appeal for votes from Southern Democrats on the ground "that he is entitled to the support of every hair of Jacksonian Democracy." By what right is he entitled to their support? There is only one answer: His Negro Policy. In Maryland the other day, after haranging over the state, he ran amuck of some colored man and the only advice he had for them was: "Don't sell your vote," which was an insult to any man of color, whether in Maryland or Kansas, because that expression shows his highest regard for the colored race. President Taft has been the only occupant of the White House who has dated to pen his mouth against mobile rule and outlawing unjust the colored men and women in the United States. His one act overloads him head and shoulders not Russell. He has respected the colored man as a man and not as a thing. And now, if any self-respecting colored man can read these facts and note them in support of the theorem, then truly may it be said that the worst they have reared at his hands is too good for them. No bull whip or task master could drive them from him and the more his hand would smite them the lower would they grovel in the dust to link that hard and be thankful of the chance.

E. at Wichita, strong resolutions favourable to Senator Charles Curtis and in appreciation of his work on behalf of the pension measures, were passed without an opposing vote. Veterans in attendance at the meeting were strong in their praise of the work of the senior senator and the sentiment was expressed in the resolutions. The resolutions as adopted were in brief as follows: "Whereas, The congress of the United States has passed and the president signed on the 11th of May, 1912, the most righteous and equitable pension bill ever enacted into law which will greatly assist and relieve our comrades in their declining years, and "Whereas, During the preparation, discussion and passage of the afore- and pension legislation Senator Chas. Curtis has shown himself to be a devoted friend of the old defenders of the Union; to him more than to any other man we owe a debt of gratitude for the fast and equitable measure of relief that has been granted us; therefore, "Resolved. That we, the representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, department of Kansas, in our annual encampment assembled, do hereby tender to Senator Charles Curtis our sincere thanks for the able and faithful service he has rendered in public life, and especially in the passage of the law of May 11 1912, and to all who assisted in the passage of this righteous measure, we will ever hold in grateful remembrance." WOMEN SUFFRAGE In my opinion suffrage for women is board to come. There are many arguments against it, but no reasons. I think the most important reason why women should have the right to vote is because they need the ballot for their own protection from crime, disease, starvation, ignorance and many other dangers. A woman is just as well educated as a man and she ought to have the rights of a man in every possible way. A girl ought not to be sent to school to be educated if she couldn't use her education like a man. The factory girl needs the ballot for the same reason that she needs education or any other privilege that will lift her in the scale of human beings. There is a great body of laws which applies just to the working girl and regulates her relations with her employer. She must work under these laws, but she has no vote in making them. Why not? I think also that a great onward step in the progress of mankind will be made when every adult person including the women, especially shall take an active part in politics, she will help to purify these and then the vast number of men of intelligence and eminence who now avoid the polls will take a practical interest in good government. A prominent writer was asked, "Are women traced with less respect socially, and his equal suffrage made men less chivalrous?" "No. Greater courtesy is shown a woman in Western than in Eastern culture; and while this condition existed before the extension of suffrage, and therefore cannot be attributed to it, it has certainly shown no dim a tion?" The question aslo has been asked, "Are the laws less well enforced since women became voters owing to the fact that women cannot fight?" "If all the men who cannot fight or do not fight should be disfamished, the poll would be as lonely as a resting resort in December." Just think, women must they the laws just as men do and they suffer from bad government just as men do. Why should they not have the equal rights of men? Mothers need the ballot to regulate the moral conditions under which their children must be brought up. Business Women need the ballot to secure for themselves a fair opportunity in their business. All men need women' help to build a better and just government. The Mayor of Toledo was asked the question, Why is believed in woman suffrage "Why," he said, to might as well ask why I believe in the sun or the stars or the ocean I believe that woman should vote because they are women; just as I have that man should vote because they are men." Women are citizens of a government Of the people, By the people and For the people And Women Arg People. Certainly they should vote equally with men. Topeka, Kan, May 24, 1912. Mr. Chiles, Editor: Mr. Chiles if you could spare space in your paper to publish this essay from Esther Van Dyne a great many people would be very much gratified. I am sure the little girl would feel proud and we would be grateful for the courtesy and I am sure that her teacher would appreciate the honor done to her pupil. The Good Government club offered three prizes, but they had six contestants who were so nearly equal that the prizes were divided into halves. I drew up the six checks and was very glad that one of your people received one of them. No one knew till the children called for their checks who received them, so you can see they were delivered strictly on merit and I think that all of the children were perfectly satisfied that everything was fair and that those deserving them received the prizes. We were only sorry that we could not afford more prizes as the essays were all so good. Trusting that you will do this for the encouragement of the little girl the Good Government club sends its thanks in advance. ILLA DAY MONROE, Press.

We want to thank the Good Government club for giving the prizes to the girls and for arouling an interest in the subject of woman suffrage. Very truly, ANNA KELLY, Principal, State Street School. A WORTHY MAN HONORED. The A. M. E. Church Taking High Ground. John Anderson, Lankford, M. M. S., the leading Negro architect of the country, was unanimously elected supervising architect of the A. M. E. church on May 24, 1912. The great need of a church architect has been fully realized by the Bishops, General Officers and Ministers for some time. Too often, the church edifices and buildings constructed in the rural districts and mall towns are without proper ventilation and light. But now a man of competency and a capable architect has been elected in the person of J. A. Lankford. He is a mechanical engineer and has a wide experience as a builder. The Christian art of the church has been tamed to a high point of perfection by his election, Mr. Lankford is a native of Missouri, having been educated in the public schools and at Lincoln Institute, afterward graduating at Tuskegee and from one of the best schools of the East on architecture. He is a young man of great ability, of thought and an architect and mechanical engineer and has designed supervised and built one of the best buildings in the country owned by his race. He has won many contests from other races and from white and black. He has made Christian art a specialty. He has also designed some of the best schools, colleges, institutions and business buildings in the country. Any Negro upon town, society, church or property must will do well to prevent him if they are thinking of building or making improvements. At present his headquarters are Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla. LAWRENCE, KAN. Mesdames A. Scott King, S. Snowden, M E. Henderson, Mildred Monroe, Rosa Jones, Miss Ethel Escoe, Rev. P J. Hill, Dr. F. D. G. Harvey and Attorney Sherman Harvey were visitors to the General Conference and witnessed the ordination of the four Bishops. It was a grand solemn occasion and there were thousands there to witness the ceremony. Attorney of B. McWilliams remains about the same so we are informed by his car, Miss Bertie Ellis, Thomas Henderson, Jr. a former Lawrence young man, has returned and will remain permanently.

Young Man Charged With the Murder of Miss Mabel Morris is Bound Over to the District Court Under a Bond of $2,500. Andy Wallace, who is charged with the murder of Mabel Morris, was bound over to District court and held fixed at twenty-five hundred dollars. Mrs. Hardesty testified to seeing the girl at the Rock Island depot in company with a man whom she said resembled Andy Wallace. She could not say he was the man. Other witnesses testified as having last seen her in his company. The watch was found in the pool hall where Wallace worked. Rose Burns testified to the finding of the watch. The friends of the girl claim they will have enough evidence at the next term of court to convict him. They seem to think Wallace can't prove an alibi. This was one of the most outrageous offenses ever committed in the county and the guilty party or parties should be brought to justice. We are told that one of the parties who was in her company on the night of the crime consented to tell all. The name is being withheld until such time as deemed necessary to tell. Here is a chance for someone to escape the penitentiary by volunteering to tell all they know to the officers at once.

Address to New Bishops a Powerful and Forceful Masterpiece. Hi, Chick Among You And We ever will be Chief am my life him become your servant Mat XVIII If the Lord had not so fully and so beautifully demonstrated the principle involved in the text read we might be confused by it, but his whole life was an exhibition of the truth stated. The Lord and Master descended from the Father and whom to see whoever is to see the Father, he had such fellowship with His pupil that he was not to descend when he declared that should not longer consider themselves servants; because as such he was unable to show them the things of God but they must be called friends, yet he had come to resist them and to give his life a tarson for many. Two of his disciples, among the first of his disciples, had observed the control which he exercised over them and over other man, over conditions, diseases, and death. They had come to consider power and formed a desire for its own master. Other disciples may have appreciated the feeling and the power but lacked the diplomatic and courage to approach the Lord or a subject since he had never said anything to any of them that would encourage such act. Lot James and John, approached Him then selves and engaged the good mother as advocate, or possibly the origin, of the movement was with her. Was not the Lord about to set up a government like the great Roman government and must He not of necessity employ all? So they love their mother says, command that my two sons become your chief officers. Jesus said to the sons, do you think ye are able. They answered, we are able. O unattained disciples, tarry awhile; wait for the visions of coming trials, sorrows and precautions and death. O, you will risk all that in order to become prime officers. The first comes when the stern responsibilities come upon you, in the baptism of sorrow and of death, and doubtless through Him that has loved us you have been admitted to the places beside love and everlasting sovereignty in his right hand. You have learned the lessons of humility, submission and worship as greater than those of more favor, and you have enlarged hearts that could not enjoy especial favors.

For the Son of man come to be a servant and a ransom. The Episcopacy. All government requires head-hip, all diligent government has head- hips. This is not always centered in the man. Sometimes in several per- sons in a given office, after being selected by the governed and given power, sometimes the whole body be- come governor by certain concessions. The African Methodist church combines both—but does not extend to absolute monarchy. Though men in anger or decision sometimes speak of bishops as bosses, the term does not express the meaning of our polity. We have in the Episcopal element a fatherhood, ownership—which to our race is recently removed from a condition of bondage is a term of harshness, but which must become one of respect with us as with others. Hunty-five men have brought this office down to the present. (I have heard all but three of them preach) and four are about to be added to the roll. The average life of the thirty-five to this day of introducing four younger men has been over sixty-five years which opposes the statement that the bishops the fast and early. Some of these ministers have sought the office; some have accepted and none has rejected it. These bishops now ordered into this line made illustrious by the foresight, courage and unity that characterized the faith and the peace and progress of the present all this day he set apart formally, as it is trusted they are consecrated by the Holy Spirit. We welcome them and pray that their entrance may mark the denote rennerment and spiritual growth that will make this day an inquil in our Episcopal history. They come into association with thirteen others who have been parts in the live from four to thirty-two years. If we are not able to maintain the unity of the spirit I give up that it is difficult of attainment. It is quite useless for us to think of divergences, we should study unity and harmony. Each is to all the elders who have so graciously conferred upon us the power and responsibilities—simply chiefs among equals and all we are one. We have for years conceded the headship for order sake, to the bishop oldest in the order. Elders wave their equal rights with us, to the title bishop for government's sake only; as has been the habit of the Christian church about eighteen hundred years. The mother of Zebedee's children said; "Command that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand ARKANSAS CITY, KAN. and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom But Jesus answered, and said, ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They said unto Him, we are able. And when the ten heard it they were moved with indignation against the two brothers. But Jesus called them unto Him and said: Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles did it over them and their great ones coveted authority over them. Not so shall it be among you but whoever would become great among you shall be your minister and whoever would be first among you shall be your servant, man as the Son of man, come not to be ministers but to minister and to give his life for many. The Rule for Human Soverigity in the Church. The Christian church took organized form in several stages by different orders, as all compacts of men have done. There was not a given idea followed not a given rule announced. The liberty of association of customs, of manners, and of influencing men was manifest in the earliest church history. The evidences of divergences and variations were many in the times of the apostles and the fathers; almost bewildering. So the titles and sanctions of ministration have differed and will likely differ in accordance with the laws of freedom and of charge. Christian compacts and associations that me jealous for self rule in the sense of every member being required to be counted in the ultimate sovereign regard it as useless and inconsistent that any one minister should be regarded as the head person of any body of Christians. Like the Israelites, they clamor for such association and such endowment as may make Aaron and Miriam absolutely and in all respects as great, as safe and reliable leaders as Moses. They are called congregationalists. There are others whose idea of ruling class crystallizes in a selected body of men called presbisters or olders; a third who place ultimate government in a class of ministers styled bishops. Very unlike are the ideas connected with the use of this term as with the forms under expressions of others; some such churches consider the term the sense and the office of bishop as distinct from that of elder. The Methodist church on the other hand regards the difference as one of concession and acceptance, convenience of government and tendency to order. The ministers and elders of yesterday are distinguished as bishops today to the end of advancing and enlarging the church on earth as a great government with a central power radiating therefrom with an earthly seal as a unit; with widening influences and with enlarged results. The concessions of elders in such government are large. They convey to certain of their number the re- structive use of the term bishop, which term in apostolic practice is used interchangeably with elder; conferring this title upon the bishop for the purpose of definite authority and distinct and discriminative. But this governmental rule is always supposed to be guarded by certain restrictions and reactions; requirements inspections and directions. It would appear from our Lord's expressions that the tendency to seek and delight in such distinctions was in the church from the beginning. Who shall be selected as greatest as leader? How like the General Conference spirit was that of the John and James? They went to the very master whose sovereignty was maintained in simple undaunted devotion to the weak, the wocstricken and the wanting in absolute regard, for the sinful and the roug, and without regard for the cost of the privilege. They dared approach him, and like the General Conference spirit with no regard for other disciples seeking the same distinction. So like those who are not selected, the ten disciples seeing the success of the two, in some degree, were envious. But see how Jesus would assume them that the granting of the favor of distinction brought corresponding distinction of suffering, the vision of this baptism into death. Jesus accepts persons when offered and sometimes tolerates them when interested more in self than in him. As he did in regard to King making so in case of Bishop making. But he has given us rules by which men are bishops accepted by him. The Episcopacy and ownership in apostolic times was styled a good work, which ministers might cagely seek, but, which expected of them. 1. Blamelessness of life against whom no evil can be charged. 2. Entirely correct in marriage. 3. Vigilance, alertness. 4. Sound mind. 5. Good behavior. 6. Ho-pitable. 7. An able zealous preacher. 8. Forever—not a user of strong think. 9. Not quarlesome. 10. Not a bishop for money. 11. Patient. 12. Not contentious. 13. Ability to govern. 11. Ripe experience in the questions and doctrines of the church. 15. He must be just. 16. His family must be well cultured, peaceable, respectable, churchly and pleios. Measured by the rules, how humble we feel. How ill adopted—the best of us—to this important office. How man and unworthy, and this is what is required and implied in the text used as the basis of this discourse. Jesus Christ the bi-hop of our souls, the episcopus episcoporum has set his own life, his own acts, his own words as the protein under grace and under grace only, exacting of bi-hops exact simulation to the human degree. "Even as the son of man came not to be minister unto but to minister." Absolute agreement, even identity between utterances and performances, is the high qualifications of the captains of salvation to the extent of giving up his life to seal the rehabilitity of his ministrations. The A. M. E. church has been adjusted to this supervision of 45 bishops and is about to grant to you additional men the right to direct and superintend its life and affairs. In not a few instances it has disregarded these rules even when in no means compelled to so do. It has in no such instance escaped the punishment of humiliation and unfortunate leading. The trial our Epistles is marked by evidences of this correctness of the words of Paul. Shall we be true to a good conscience, to a consistent and God sustained connection being. Make the scriptures our guide rather than our ambition. Shall be ever again forget that a bishop must be blameless. Ours are as others are, we say, but shall we not strive to improve our Episcopacy—in personal fitness, relative fitness, moral, social, intellectual, religious? These 35 men who have declared themselves consecrated by "a call to the good work" have not been chosen for the sake of an opportunity to the church to bestow honor, but to give him greater opportunity to honor his church. How idle the thought that non episcopised ministers are to be the humble African Methodist minister, so frequently self declared more than the bishop. Does not the church err in its judgment of what is required to maintain government itself. The raising this hath in evidence of submission is not half so suggestive of perfect successful ecclesiastical government as is the confidence and cooperation by the people. There is no meaning that the bishop is a slave but a bondsman not in the possession but in the service of the church. He may not be sold but he may not run off. not a slave to the church but its servent. How shall he do service in the spirit of his Lord, if his present life is not up to the standard. If he laughs at the moral restraints God has directed and the proprieties the church requires of him. How shall he serve the church if he is vain, idle, arrogant, insinuating, will minded; if he himself requires supervision in this respect to this treatment of himself, bodily and spiritually or in respect to the teachings of his brethren. He who would be great let him be gods servant, minister right in his demeanor that he may be a safe servant about the Lord's house. The peoples character and possessions must be blest by him. His sense of honor must be above reproach and his words must be the truth. This is largely the meaning of Jesus "let him be your minister" I. c. your servant. Did our church make us bishops for the opportunity of making us rich in this world? Does it mean that we shall be as the potentates of earthly government, always and surely exempt from suffering from want. Poor servants we should be and poor influence we must ever upon our people. It is well worth our while to remember that we are but dust. That we must live as men—only men and, indeed that we must die like men, and shall we not act as men—best men. The compromise of unfortunate and sinful habits, that Paul calls the snare of the devil. How it degrades our services be clouded skies truly are no evidence that the sun is not acting impediments to our enjoyment of the sun beams. This is why we are required to have good report of them that are without. This is why the church thinks of our reputation before it takes us into the house of government. It hesitates least we shall be lay in government according to reputed weakness of our mini-sterial life. This is why it holds us back and does not lay on hands suddenly. It wishes to use us in the school of life. It requires us to show a respectable control of self as to every aptitude, that we may be examples of the Lord's teachings, that when called upon to administer discipline we may not be weakened by a sympathy born of our former bad habits. The church expects its bishops to be honest always to be reliable everywhere, to be just in every thing, to be honest in every pardon, to be cleanly of body of soul and of act, indeed by the words of the consecrated we are required to see what the church is pleased to call "holy men of God." What it even calls us after we have gone the way of all the earth is "painted." Oh dear el requires this saint- tle life and notion, not in the tithe, which has us in it. How has it been with our intoni-tance? When will it cease to tolerate in us attone- ance, rapidice? Do you not feel ashamed of the mis-operation that undermines the devo- tion that styles you the great head of the church? Do you not rebuke it? Do you not feel that most of the times of our daily song the church is moving on, is touched with vanity and wisdom, excepting this choos- What matters who wrote it. One of my very dearest friends for instance. We do not need to regale ourselves in self-laudation to save a poor and humble people. The "chief among you." The father might consider the virtues of the tried and trusted in humble places, let another praise him not his own lips. Having a fairly easy path, a bishop should be expected to live well before men and before God. The church lifts him above necessity and unfairness of evil. It protects and supports him well that he may be fall in supervising this material of the church. It stops to consecrate him three times, that he may ever be awake to his obligations. It sends him abroad, it puts him in association with people of wisdom, that he may not be course and unpleasant among well read persons. A bishop can not afford to act wrong nor condone wrong in others. It may not seem strange to hear men of the world declare themselves the slaves of sin and appologises for wrong. Even the church man has not been paid so much as we to be decent might receive some toleration. When he is superstitious, vicious or cruel to his fellows. When he is stingy, miserly or dumb to the cries of the suffering, but, a bishop, must be given to hospitality. "Like people, like priest" and like ministers like bishops. No Methodist church calls for pure leaders more than those of colored people, who are so easily impressed with the feeling of doing his honor to the church more than to the bishop of our souls, who sink many dollars for flowers, show how they love their bishop placing them upon his head in the midst of the multitude, when they may be plaiting a wreath of thorns for his brow in secret. Good natured people who will give the bishop entertainment, receptions and spreads at the expense of thousands of dollars, but when he calls for aid to the church they turn a deaf ear. They need direction and support in tight thinking. The chief among you is required to have distinct character, and divine endowment that his presence and his acts may always show that he has been made superior by having his feet to the holy ground his head to the holy word and his heart to the holy spirit. The opening to the bishop among our people are simply grand and wonderful. We may set before them examples of the simple life, lessons of frugality. We have really authority to impress this great throbbing life of black folks. With the spirit, self direction, self protection, and self respect. We are permitted to lead them to this noble standing in virtue and honesty, and is not this a privilege, they pay us well and freely. Shall we not give them the benefit of all the good conferred upon us by them. They do not need us in their worldly and self gratifying organizations, but in their charities, their efforts to become holy and enlightened. Bishops are styled chief pastors. It would seem inconsistent to call a man a shepherd who does not see his sheep but four or five time a year, and we have other sheep not of this fold who have never seen one of their chief shepherds, though supposed to be his for fifty years. And the laxness of Episcopal presence and direct supervision has underlain a loss to any church that can not be estimated, but those of the traveling bishops on the western hemisphere have undertaken to use among the people of their pastors, in the presence quadrenium—nine have to merely visit their sheep and presiding elders. And pastors have done nicely in regard to their responsibilities. It was never designed to do so. A hundred men and women, boys and girls have suffered and shall not remember how great is the fault.

Manager Griffin's Political Horoscope. Mr. S. S. Williamson, a long time resident of Haverey County announces his candidacy for county clerk. This is the first time in his life he has ever asked for an office for himself, always having to tell himself with a general interest in politics and with helping others. He was born and raised in Ohio and lived these days his boyhood on a farm. While there he received an ample education, which well qualifies him for the office he seeks. He is a heavy taxpayer, owns several valuable pieces of real estate in the county. In 1811 he was a close cruiserer for the county. He twice been a deputy assessor in Newton and Harrow county and performed his work faithfully and well. He has a wide acquaintance and those who know him universally admire him as a man and neighbor. He should run well and we'd make the county a good clerk. Lot County Money Mr Harry W Hart is a young man in the prime of life and has come up from the bottom being truly a self-made man. He has been practicing law in this city for a number of years, and has a large practice and a fine record as a lawyer. He has been one side of the other of many important cases, and has always accepted himself with honor. Lawyers cannot always win their cases and defeat in litigation is no sign of incompetence or his part. He will know that many people when the consult a lawyer, he about their cases, the attorney cannot always act contrary from other sources that his clients have mistaken the facts and made that he for the first time when he gets it correct, and then loses. The client and not the attorney is a blame. This is generally true in criminal cases, very few persons charged with crime ever admit then guilt to then attorney, though they guilty it can be, they in consultation with their attorney, distort the facts and he loses the facts for the first time when the jury is enjoined and sworn to try the case, then it is late for repairs or compromises. True, it is not and goes to the per territory, it goes with abuse to his lawyer or his lips and malice in his heart what the one to be blamed is himself. But blaming oneself is a virtue which is sadly lacking in the lauded speaking people, but ever under those circumstances a lawyer can show ability. Mr Hart has and versely shows coolness and ability in all cases in which he has been esteemed, whether successful or not. He is active, is strong physically as well as mentally, is a strong Republican and deserving of the support of the Republicans at the primaries. Ler Club of District Court Ld.

The office of clerk of the district court is one of the most important positions in the county, and under it are instances should be permitted to keep it. Must do so in this place are fatal, and it behoys the voters to exercise care and keep a law in the office who knows the work as does Mr. Dankleberger.

His long residence in this county has given him a wide acquaintance and his many years on the farm have made him especially popular with the farming element.

He is humane and kind to the prisoners in his charge feeds them well and keeps the jail in a healthy condition, thus making those held as prisoners believe that he a sheriff is doing his duty in keeping them safely subject to the order of the court, but that it is no part of his duty to abuse or maltreat them.

For Register of Deeds. 2069 majority, carrying every voting precinct in the city of Wichita. Mr. McCanless was a resident of Medicine Lodge for twenty years or more before coming to Wichita. He has resided there for several years. As an officer he has been faithful to every public trust, has been honest and capable. He does not believe in graft in the administration of public affairs, especially not in those contracted with estates of deceased and insane persons or of minors. Several times since his incumbency in the office he has been called on to protect the widow and orphan those affairs are in his hands from exorbitant charges and unjust humans. In each instance he has met the issue squarely and manfully. In the recent instance a man and wife died within a few moments of each other and left an estate valued at £5,000,000. The administrator of the estate presented a bill to the Judge for £1550 for one month's services as such administrator. Judge McCandles cut this down to £250, a saving to the orphan children of the deceased of £1500. This is only a sample and one of his many acts which show the solicitude with which he a Probate Judge guards the interest of the dependent ones whom the law has placed in his care. The people of Sedgwick county know him and they know him as a man and private citizen, and they know him as a public official, and in each relation they have found him to be a worthy citizen. The confidence which they have imposed in him has not in any instance been mi-placed. It seems to be the right man in the right place. The people of that county will do well to retain him in that important office for another term. He meets the support of all voters, together of their political affiliations. There is in the county best qualified to judge, predict his recollection by a large and complimentary BARION COUNTY A Popular Young Man and Democrat for Sheriff of this County. Jno W Dukley, the present under sheriff of Batter County, of which Great Bond is the county seat, is a candidate for the office of Sheriff of his county. Mr. Dukley was born and raised in Batter County and with his father has for many years been engaged in the livery business. Like most livery men in county seat towns he is known by everyone in the county and I know all the people in that and the surrounding county. He is very likeable and popular follow. We find that practically all who know him, like him, and though a bureaucracy is patronised and admired by Republicans as well as by those of his own political faith. As an officer he has been indis- tinct, fearless and honest. Has di- ```markdown ``` whether or not they are of his political faith. He is a county clerk for all the people. He will appreciate a second term, and thinks he deserves and has merited the support and votes of the people of the county, and now asks them to vote for him at the primary, and if nominated, again at the election. The official duties of the office may prevent him making as thorough campaign as he otherwise might, and he asks his friends and all others who approve his administration of the office to vote for him, even though he may not be able to meet them personally and request their support. charged the duties of the under sheriff faithfully and with great credit to himself. His father is the present Sheriff of that county, being twice elected by a large vote. The senior Mr. Dailey has made good as a business man, citizen and sheriff and the son seems to come honestly by the popularity, success and esteem in which he is held by those who know him and his record as an under sheriff, like that of his father as sheriff is such as he need not be ashamed of or offer any apologies for it to any man. He took an oath of office. He believes paths are sacred and not mere formations. He recognises that a sheriff has nothing to do with the enactment of laws, and that when as an officer he swears to enforce the laws as the legislature has given them to us that means all laws. Mr. Dailey believes that all officers should so manage their offices as to make the cost of administration of the same as little burden some as possible on the taxpayers, recognizing that taxes are high enough in any event. His friends as well as himself ask the people to elect him sheriff of Baton County. He promises to make them a good sheriff and those who know him touch for him and believe that he will be a first class officer. COWLEY COUNTY. Popular Young Republican of Cowley County Is a Candidate for County Attorney. Ell. J. Fleming is again a candidate for the position of County Attorney of Cowley County, Kansas. Mr. Fleming has resided in Cowley County all his life, being a native of the county and at this time thirty-two years of age. He was admitted to the bar in 1902 and has been engaged in the practice of this profession ever since that time. In 1906, he was a candidate for County Attorney of Cowley County and was nominated and elected by a hand-to-vote. In 1908 he was a candidate for a second term and was successful, receiving a fine complimentary vote as a well-crafted endorsement for the able and conscientious nature in which he had administered the affairs of the office during his first term. Mr. Fleming is a hand worker, was always on the job, always at the call of the sheriff and other officers right on day when a crime was committed and the services of the County Attorney were immediately required, as many times they are. Many times men are initially wounded and have but a few hours to live. It is necessary to have their arrest in statement, that is precisely the County Attorney the one told that this man was unwilling to help, could not easily reach, all of whom were not available and even ready to respond to the call to duty. He had fine success in the management of the cases with which he as County Attorney was identified in his official capacity, and left the office with a true record established for himself and the respect of people of all callings and of all political complexions following him into private life. He has enjoyed that respect ever since that time and has found it a great advantage to him in the private practice to which he has applied himself since his retirement from office. He now believes that the people can be of service to him again and he to them by his election to the same position, hence he now asks them to give to him the Republican nomination, and further to elect him in November and assures them the same energetic, careful and honest service as in the past; promising to serve them to the best of his ability and to enforce all laws as he finds them on the Statut book of the state.
