DAVID MULVAND A GREAT LEADER. Kansan is First Westerner to Occupy Such a Responsible Position—Hi Selection a Reward of Merit—Has Proved One of the Greatest Political Generals of the Time. When the Republican leaders of the United States wanted a director for the Chicago headquarters for the Taft campaign, they chose a man from Kannas—David W. Mulvane. The ticking over the telegraphp wires last week of that intelligence was a formal emphasis of the fact that "Dave Mulvane is a national figure in the affairs of the party. And when the word of his selection for this important post in the big battle this summer and fall came to him—directorship of the Taft campaign over probably all of the territory between the Alleghenies and the Rockies—he smiled and was ready for the fight. You could hardly blame a man for throwing his hat into the air and letting out a few whoops of joy because he got such an important political major generalship as director of the Chicago headquarters. Especially you couldn't blame him if he rejoiced, especially in view of the fact that he didn't know he was being considered for the assignment. But don't think for a minute Mulvane let out any whoops. "Dave" is imperturable. You might as well keep that word "imperturable" handy. You simply cannot throw him off his feet. Ability Recognized. National leaders, years ago, recognized the utility, qualities of leadership, and executive ability of Dave Mulvane. He won his spurs in the national ranks, very only. Mulvane made his entrance in Kansas state politics in the Morrill submaterial battle in 1890, and just six years later he was named a member of the advisory committee of the Republican national committee. This body is made up of twelve to fifteen Republican workers from various states, and with more than two score states to select from, the appointment was a real recognition. Four years later, in 1900, Mulvane was elected Republican national committeeman from Kansas, the vote of the delegation being 18 to 2. Twice he was re-elected, both times by a unanimous vote. Also for ten consec- ative years he was a member of the republican state central committee ot Kansas. This year in Kansas the battle for the delegates to the national Republican convention was won by the Roosevelt forces in Kansas, and that spelled Mulvane's retirement as national committeeman. You can judge a man pretty well by his demeanor in defeat. Mulvane smiled and fought away, never giving an inch. Not a wail came from him. The man who had the most enjoyable time at Independence was Dave Mulvane. He lost so gracefully that it apparently bothered some of the Roosevelt leaders. "Anything up his Sleeve?" Say," said one of the smartest of the Roosevelt state leaders to a newspaper man, "You can answer this question if anybody can. Has Dave Mulvane anything up his sleeve to spring on us tomorrow?" They watched the imperturbable "Dave" to the last. They knew as many men who have struggled with or against him in politics, that he says little and fights hard. In the milling at the convention talk turned on Mulvane's retirement from the national committee, in a group of political folks of which Mulvane was one. Dave listened to the conversation and when a newspaper man looked toward Dave for an expression, he 1910 smiled and laconically said: "When you write my political obituary you may say from me that I never used the office of national Republican committee to get a job for my-self." Mulvane never was a candidate for an elective or appointive job. While national committeeman from Kansas a number of years ago he was offered the place of United States district attorney and declined it. The other evening one of his friends said to him: "Dave, what is a good politician?" "My theory of a good politician." TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING AUG. 1, 1912. bade stavane, and he smiled, "is one who stays put. Divide into Classes. "contiants, he said a little later, "are divided into two classes, a little like people who indulge in athletic sports. There is the professional who plays the game for a living, and there is the other class which indulges in it as a recreation. The latter class gets the real fun out of it. It is too serious for a man whose bread and butter is involved. He can't get any fun out of defeat." Some men of wealth take to yachting; others to owning a string of polo ponies. Multane takes to politics. "What's the best way to play the game, anyway?" asked one of his friends the other day. "Well," replied Dave, "the best way to play the game of politics to my notion, is to play it in the open. The more you play it that way the less the fellows against you believe that's what you are going to do." Mulvane believes politics have an educational value. "It is an education," he said, "in the sense that contact with men is an education in itself." OUR SUPREME COURT JUDGES! Eminent Jurist Endorsed by Members of Shawnee County Bar. Kansas has a Supreme Court which has at heart social progress and the essential things in the pursuit of Justice by courts, not such incidental things as phrases and words and technicalities, nor even precedents necessarily. Chief Justice Johnston, now a candidate for re-election, is and has been for many years the head and front of our Supreme Court. After some schooling, some teaching, a course in law and a diploma, long in the early 70's, he came to Kansas settling in Minneapolis, Ottawa county. The usual ups-and-downs of the young lawyer were his, but he was useful to the new home in the new country from the very start. Early in his career he was deputy county attorney, practically the head of the office, and he did so well that his people made him their Representative in the Legislature. Useful and astonious term followed. Then a big senatorial district, taking up nearly all of the unoccupied country out that way, made him State Senator. He had begun to attract the attention of the man who were running the state, and though still quite a young man the authorities at Washington made him assistant United States district attorney. But the state was not quite ready to turn him over to the general government, he was too useful around home. So the Republican party elected and re-elected him attorney general. Before finishing up his last term in 1884, Kansas needed a new associate justice to fill out the unexpired term of Justice D. J Brewer, promoted to the highest court in the land. So Attorney General, W. A. Johnston, was sought out and appointed to the position. He was even more useful than before. When the next state convention met the appointment was unanimously ratified and he was nominated Justice. This was in 1884, twenty-eight long years ago, years of political and industrial change, of new construction in law and business, of settling of a great state on permanent lines. But he was growing in usefulness and nomination followed nomination almost without opposition. The last ten years of this time he has been Chief Justice with its added duties and responsibilities. All these years, from the very first, when he drifted across the Missouri line in search of a dominant Republican party he has been trusted as no other man has ever been trusted by the people of the state. He has never had a political back-set, never a period of probation. He has gone up and up, quietly and steadily all the time. He is now better equipped for the important duties of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court than ever before, and Kansas still needs him. Years have not yet begun to register their blight on his powerful mind and frame and he is still a young man in habit of thought and conception of things in general. Chief Justice Johnston is a candidate for renomination and the state still needs him.—Topeka Capital. ROUSSEAU A. BURCH FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE! Forty-five members of the Shawnee county bar have prepared and caused to be published indorsement of Justice Burch, which is a magnificent testimonial to his great worth and ability. Justice Burch is one of the nation's ablest jurists, and his fine brain and splendid ability, has done much to elevate the Supreme Court of Kansas, and today is recognized as one of the ablest and best of all the Supreme Courts in all the states In selecting men for the judiciary politics should be cast aside, merit being the sole standard by which to measure. Justice Burch has proven his worth. Kansas should not hesitate in keeping him on the Supreme bench. He is a dignified, scholarly gentleman—fair and impartial in his every act and deed and his presence in that august body has added to its dignity. Among other things, the attorneys who have endorsed him in a signed statement says: "Justice Butch is a scholar of rare attainments, and a lawyer, student and worker unexcelled by the very best. He is a great student of fundamental principles and of the philosophy of the law, and he gives to his work as Associate Justice the entire benefit of his learning, experience and energy. "The Kansas Supreme Court is one of the ablest and best of all the Supreme Courts in all of the states. We sincerely endorse these members, whose terms are about to expire, for re-election." FOR STATE TREASURER Walter Payne, assistant state treasurer, is a native son, and is now asking the support of the Republican voters at the coming primaries for state treasurer. He has made good as an assistant, knows the work from a to z, and is in every respect qualified to fill this most important of all offices in the gift of the state. Mr. Payne is an ardent Republican, and the day he reached his majority, and it can be truthfully said that his work and influence has done much to bring about Republican success in Kansas and keep the party in trust. Meritorious service should be rewarded in such and private life, and Kansas should show their gratitude by nominating this young stalwart. He comes from a line of noble stock, the chief Mr. Payn having served in the Civil war from the time the first gun was fired on Fort Sumptet till peace and freedom was declared throughout the land, and like his illustrious site, he is a steadfast friend of the oppressed and a lover of liberty. He practices and believes in a free and equal opportunity to white and black alike, and will go out of his way to lend a hand to the down trodden or oppressed. A vote for Mr. Payne is a vote for a true friend, and a young man who will serve you faithfully and well. Vote for Walter Payne for state treasurer. JOHN W. ADAMS Wichita and Sedgewick County, being among the most populated districts of the State, it is important that it should be able represented in the State Senate. Mr. Adams is an able lawyer, a good speaker of wonderful resources either on the trial of a law suit or in the halls of Legislature. He served in the House of Representatives, in 1890, 1901 and 1905 and was one of the leading and most influential members of the House during those sessions. As the Kansas Legislative Blue Book said of him, "He had a way of getting his bills reported from the committees and then had the ability to take the floor and show them through to final passage." He was the author of many bills and took an active part in all legislation, as he is a hard and untiring worker either in the Legislature or champion of the laboring man and of the rights of the people. He stands for the strictest economy, reduction of taxes, and favors legislation that keeps pace with the times against railroads and other corporations, and has no entanglements that will prevent the free and untrammlled dis- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

He has always been a Progressive in his tendency and was a delegate at the convention at Independence this year and voted that the Kansas delegation be instructed to support Col. Roosevelt at the national convention. He is a member of the law firm of Adams & Adams, one of the leading law firms of the city of Wichita for more than twenty years. He is a member of a number of orders among which he is a二级 degree Mason, a member of the Shining and of the Old Lovers. VOTE FOR SHERIFF NORTON. Before you have an opportunity to read another issue of The Plaindealer, the primaries will have passed into history and the victors girding on their armours for a last stand—the general election. Locally, things are somewhat muddled through representation, especially in the fight for sheriff, and it would be well to look into the matter carefully, and those who are fair, impartial and unbiased by prejudice can easily be set alight. The statement has been heralded throughout Shawnee County that under the law, Col Norton, the present membant could not serve if nominated and elected on account of it being a third term. Such a statement is a grave injustice and unfair to one of the grandest old man and best officials that ever served Shawnee County in any capacity. Col. Norton, if elected this time will have started on a second term, and no man in the county has ever voted for the Colonel, even a second time for this office and will not have done so until August 6, 1912, and the supreme court has ruled that a man is eligible to serve two elective terms, and when you vote for him on Tuesday next, you will have given him that which he is justly entitled—a second term in the office of sheriff of Shawnee County. The wild stories about a third term are unacropulous in the extreme and a very course dodge to entrap the unsuspecting voter. All that Colonel Circulation 9,998 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. Murder of a Negro!! Bend, Asks Your Support for strict. Norton desires is for you to nominate and elect him, and he'll do the rest serve faithfully, honestly and squarely, as he has so ably done during the past two years. "Just elect me," remarked the Colonel to a party of friends, "and I'll do the serving." As public officer, citizen, friend and neighbor, Col. Norton needs no introduction or recommendation to the citizens of Topka and Shawnee County, other than that which shows itself boldly in every act, word and deed of his most useful life and deadly manner. He knows the work and goes abroad and performs every detail to the letter. He is honest, conscientious, reliable and always on the job, and since it is a time honored custom of the Republic in party to give public official a second term, it would be unfair and unjust to make this good faithful servant, (a man who takes exceptional pride in his work), an exception to the rule. Heard not the misinterpretations of the law in regard to a third term, and go ahead and vote for Colonel Norton. The third term story was conjured up to mislead his friends and make them believe that a vote for him would be wasted, but we want to give you a straight tip take a chance on the other fellow, and you are sure to lose. On August 6th, remember Col. Norton and that he can and will serve and also that he is a Republican of the old school, and a tried, true friend of the colored people. The writer has visited every county in the state, and discussed politics with every official from the "tional boss" up. Every sheriff with whom we talked invariably remarked: "What are you going to do with Col. Norton? He is one of theprompted and best friends in the state, and has made a reputation forpromptness. One can get a response from Norton's office more quickly than any place it Kansas. The Colonel and his men do things." This and numerous expressions of confidence in the Shawnee County man greeted us in nearly every county we visited At this time, Shawnee County would not unwise in making a change in the sheriff's office, Col. Norton has begun a line of work that he should be permitted to carry out, and when he steps down and out, will leave the taxpayers a fine business system, which has been so badly needed in this office. His record is as clear a the noon-day sun. The judge, county attorney, in fact the whole county house will O, K, his official record. At this late date the colored people cannot afford to divide their vote on this matter, and they should go to the polls solidly for their friend, Colonel J. D. Norton. A NOTE WARNING: Heware of any statement that may appear in the newspapers on the eve of the election, when it will be to late to refute same. Vote for Sheriff Norton. VOTE FOR JOHN H. HARRIS ED. D.

Mrs. Gertrude Crit and son, Floyd, are visiting in Ottawa. We will celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation here September 23. Rev. F. I. Hammonds. McAlester, Okla. Rt. Rev. W. D. Chappelle, presiding Bishop of the Twelfth district, arrived July 23rd and held two days sessions of P. E. council. Many hearts were made glad by the arrival of the Bishop. He was domiciled at the parsonage, the guest of Rev. Ross and wife, who spared neither time nor money to make his stay a pleasant one. Tuesday night a bevy of ladies hung streamers across the church lawn, decorated with Japanese lanterns. Tables were arranged and at the conclusion of addresses of welcome and response by his Grace, Bishop W. D. Chappelle, all were seated at the tables where ice cream and cake were served. Wednesday at 9:30 a. m. council assembled in the church and the good Bishop gave some timely instruction to presiding elders. Among the things he said, that pastors, presiding elders and bishops were members of the church and were therefore brethern and that presiding elders ought to to be careful as to their treatment of pastors. He fully sustained Dr. T. J. Ross in his stand against Dr. R. J. Patton, P. E., and stated that both presiding elder and pastor must keep peace. All having agreed, now McAlester moves on unhindered. A most pleasing program was rendered to ministers, members and citizens, Methodist and Baptist alike, anxious to do honor to a distinguished churchman. He was welcomed by the Hon. J. W. Pettus (Baptist) on behalf of public schools; Dr. McClairbrone on behalf of Baptist churches; Hon. H. A. Guess on behalf of Sunday School (A. M. E.); Dr. J. W. Price on behalf of the professional men; Hon. E. E. McDaniels on behalf of business men; Mrs. Sadie L. Davis on behalf of the A. M. E. church; Mrs. Ada B. Wortham on behalf of the Missionary women of the church; introductory remarks by the pastor, Rev. T. J. Ross, B. D. and responded to by Bishop Chappelle in his usual happy vein. He expressed himself as being pleasantly surprised to find such an array of talent in McAlester. Lastly the bishop received more than a welcome into the parsonage, presided over by that splendid better half of the pastor, Mrs. Marie B. Ross. The Bishop left Thursday morning. ANNOUNCEMENTS A. C.

The recent rains have made the farmers the happiest class of people in the land, and since they are so happy they can well afford to make the poor city chap partly as happy as they are by compromising on the profits. If spellbinders and trouble monger will find some other occupation than talking the people would settle down to the idea that they are getting along very nicely right now, and will continue to do so. With all the school facilities within the reach of all the people there is no excuse for ignorance and none should be tolerated. No person ever gets too old to learn, and only those who do not case are the ones who never try. Sunhine and showers and the soil of Kansas are calculated to make men happy and he who owns some of this same soil has as good an investment as he who has a gold mine. It is a lucky fellow who lives in Kansas when these two articles prevail in this section of the world There is occasionally some person who claims that he was in the government service and quit because he could not run the big machine as he thought it ought to be run, but when you sift the matter down you will find that all such people quit after their pay had been cut off If it were left to the "Bull Moose" crowd the National committee stole all the contested delegates but those that were allowed to the chief "Bull Moose." But if the majority of the National committee had been men that could have been swerved from doing their duty by the bulldozing tactics of Roosevelt, Flinn and others the whole 254 contested delegates would have been awarded to Roosevelt regardless of truth or merit. Throughout this land of ours there are men, both white and colored, who cannot read or write, and many of them are not of the ante-bellum days either. We believe that every man should be given a ballot at election time and if he cannot vote as he desires no one should be allowed to render any assistance. If a man has not sufficient interest in the welfare of the country to learn how to read and write his country's language he should be left to his own devices. This of course applies to men who are not physically unable to perform their duty at the polls. The Mexican rebels have warned the Americans down there to fight in their tanks or give up their arms and get out of the country. These that are so warned are those Americans who have been meddling with the internal affairs of the Mexicans, and of course if the rebels get the drop on them they will have to fight or run. The Mexican government will protect them if they can get with, in touch of protection, but they are busy with them own troubles and will not have time to take up the troubles of others. But when one is in the midst of war he will have to take what he gets. The following is chipped from the Atticism Daily Champion: "L. G Martin 10 10 Riley, was robbed of $20 by a Negro woman at 2 o'clock Sunday morning at Seventh and Kansas avenue. The woman has not been arrested. "Mr. Martin was crossing the street when the woman, who worked a trick well known to cracks, passed him. Just as soon as she passed Mr. Martin she throw her arms around him and before he could break her hold, she had gone through two or three of his pockets. Then she ran and disappeared in a dark alley near the Can mill. "Mr. Martin didn't know that he had been robbed for a minute after the woman broke away and ran. When he discovered that his $20 was missing, the woman was out of sight." This is Mr. Martin's tale, and we are of the opinion that he is mistaken as to the manner in which he was touched, and we are free to say that had he gone on about his business instead of stopping to make "goo-goo" eyes with this lady of color he would not have been minus of his roll. Of course Mr. Martin did not suspect the nature of the expected "time" he was to have, and we venture to say that the time consumed in this transaction was more than a minute, and we will venture to say that the next time Mr. Martin meets a colored woman on the streat he will be sure of his game before he makes any advances. Let other white men take warning from the experience of Mr. Martin, not only in Atchison, but all over the country. Whether or not Henry Allen declared two years ago that "Stubbs is an ass is of no consequence. Stubbs is not an ass today. No animal of that breed is possessed of either unscrupulous cunning or disgusting hypocrisy. Much as the Colonel has already started a new party based on those steal" at Chicago, isn't it rather unpacious of Mr. Dilles to come along with the facts and figures proving that there was no steal at Chicago? Mr. McLlarg, who worked up most of the convention contests for the Roosevelt managers, is quite sure that there was not enough merit in them to justify any loyal Republican in deserting his party to join the Bull Moore And still the Kansas supreme court fails to say that placing Roosevelt candidates for elector on the Republican ballot is either honest or excusable. It simply reiterates that there is no Kansas law which authorizes the courts to take cognizance of the fraud. The statement sent out from Washington by the Republican managers regarding the contests at Chicago is is very clear and convincing, but it is hardly probable that either Colonel Roosevelt or Senator Dixon will be sufficiently converted to stand up and make an open confession. The Mirror does not question the right of any man to vote for Roosevelt or Wilson, but the Mirror does question the right of any man to repudiate the Republican party and then ask for office at the hands of that party or attempt to assist in naming its candidates for office. Every qualified voter has the right to vote as he pleases at the November election, but any man who attempts at the primaries to decide the issues of a party that he is attempting to dethrone, not only violates the spirit of the law but is politically dishonest and unworthy the support of any honest man.-Olathe Mirror THE MISSING MAN 1920 JAMES J. BULGER, WICHITA, KAN. Candidate for the Republican nomination for one of the two places to be filled on the Supreme Court this year, he is one of the young Republicans of Kansas as to abort the consideration of the election of the state is invited by this paper and that they may know more about him, the following brief biographical sketch is presented: Judge Bulger came with his parents from Illinois, when a child, to Cherokee County, Kansas, where he was raised on a farm. He was educated in Kansas schools; taught in them three years and for two years was a member of the Cherokee County Teachers' Examining Board. He was graduated from the Kansas University Law School at the age of 22 years. An Judge of the Eleventh Judicial District from which office he retired in 1911, he demonstrated exceptional strength, Judicial qualifications, im- --- --- ```markdown ``` --- Cast your bread, upon the waters in the days of plenty, and in the days of scarcity it may return to you in an increased fold. When you do good for humanity let the other fellow do the tooting of the horn of praise, and you will get more honor out of the deal. It is better to give than to take, but the churches seem to prefer that this little injunction apply to the other fellow and not to themselves. Education is a badge that needs no display to show, and no man, no matter how humble, is ashamed to wear it. If you have not got one, start today to secure one and you will never regret it Try each day to do some good unto your fellow man and you will sleep at night with a clear conscience, and you will be healthy and enjoy a long life devoid of the perplexing worries that infest the land. People who go through the world looking for something to do that will make their names famous in history would do more good if they did good in small matters many times instead of looking for some big thing. *** If every fellow would attend to his own business and quit meddling after the affairs of others there would be no need for the large armies of the nations of the earth nor for the army of lawyers that make a living off the differences of opinions rendered by the meddling class. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt was the man who said that no man could be honest and accumulate a million dollars, but some how he has gotten into the millionaire rank, and he might tell how it happened. There are many who would like to be in that rank and remain honest. When in McAlister Visit THE STANSBURY DRUG STORE. Toilet Articles of All Kinds, Fine Sodan, Soft Drinks, Etc.

He discouraged unwarranted litigation and caused respect of the law by permitting no "official fee grafting," thereby conducting his count at a minimum expense to tax payers. Before engaging in the law practice he had worked on a Kansas farm, mined in Kansas mines, broke on a Kansas railroad and taught in Kansas schools. These labor, together with his college training, wide range of law practice in state and federal courts, and his services as district judge gives him an experience enjoyed by but few furist and eminently qualifies him for a place on our highest Tribunal. If elected he will be the first Kansas raised and educated man to hold the office of Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court and the first justice elected from the Third district.—"Cherokee County Republican." --- OKLA RICHARD L.

THOMAS. In the scramble for office, there are several cases where good, honest, square men are being grossly misrepresented, and unfortunately our esteemed friend, Richard L. Thomas has fallen a victim. His opponent is unfair in the extreme, bringing claims against Mr. Thomas that he can prove holly untrue. Mr. Thomas is well known to most of the colored people in Tpeka and Shawnee county, and we do not believe any of them will be led astray through the misrepresentations. They know "Dick" Thomas to be one of the manliest of men, a good Republican and a staunch, true friend and neighbor. They are as familiar with his acts and deeds, and are unshaken in the confidence placed in him. Mr. Thomas knows the work, is courteous, kind and considerate and will make Shawnee county a splendid official. The Knights of Pythias held their grand session at Wichita last week at the court house and the Court of Calanthe held their session in the Masonic building on Main street. All the same important officers were re-elected by both the orders. The Court is in fine shape. They have several hundred dollars on hand after paying all their death and sick benefits. The G. W. C., Mrs. Saunders, has been re-elected three times over her protest. She has given the lodge an excellent administration. The Knights made some changes in their financial platform. The money that has been going to the G. C. will be turned into the grand treasury to help build up an endowment fund. A street parade was held Thursday, headed by Prof. N. Clark Smith and his Y. M. C. A. band, then the main officers, followed by the Sir Knights, and in turn the ladies of the Court in carriages. The procession was escorted out to the park where an enjoyable time was had. The affair concluded with a play given by the home talent of "Damon and Pythias." The following leading characters in the play proved that Wichita has people of excellent talent: Messrs. Ed Landrom, Sam P. Jones, Dr. Lawrence and Mrs. S. C. Anderson. The play was given at the Phil Harmony hall, one of the leading musical halls of the city. This was the first time the colored people had an opportunity to use this building, and over seven hundred persons were present. They were Wichita's finest, well behaved, nicely dressed, good lookers and a credit to any race. At the close the members of the grand lodge extended a vote of thanks to the citizens and the County Commissioners for the use of the Court House and then adjourned to meet in Kansas City next year.

The many friends of Capt. N. Clark Smith will be pleased to learn that he will visit in Topeka August 10th and 11th. Capt. Smith will be en route back to Tuskegee, and as it has been fifteen years since he visited Topeka, it will be a rare treat for him to meet such old time friends as Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, John M. Wright and numerous others. Kansas feels that he has a noble son in Capt. Smith, who has won the plaudits of two continents. He organized the first Pituinnie band the ROBERT B. BURKE CAPT. N. CLARK SMITH. country ever knew. He took them to Australia and streamed the people of the untropides. He made black musicians famous in that far off land, and today Harry Sinclair and a number of other boys that made the trip with him stand well up in the ranks of the country's best musicians. For several years Capt. Smith has been musical director at Tuskegee Institute, and his band and glee club of fifty odd boys and girls are the marvel of the country, and the pride of the South. As a composer, he stands in class A, and has placed more music on the market than any member of his race in the profession. PLEASANT VISITORS In our jubster and hurry last week, we overlooked the visit of our bosom friends, Hon. W. W. Fisher, fiscal agent for Western University and also postmaster at W. U. station and Dr. J. R. Runsom, presiding elder of the Topka district. These two distinguished gentlemen praised in upon our editorial carpet and spent a very agreeable half hour with the force. We asked, "what of the present political situation, Mr. Fisher," and with a wise look suddenly mounting his face remarked: "I am sure I don't know, in fact I am out of pointies. My heart and soul is wrapped up in Western University, and a man engaged in educational work has no time for politics; and it should be kept out of our schools. I want you to understand that I am and always have been a Republican, but as to participating in politics, I have turned my part over to you newspaper men." We checked the same question up to Dr. Runsom, and he said, "I'm like my friend Fisher, I've quit. My church work gives me all I can do in fact I think I am most needed and can accomplish more good through the church and that noble institution Western University (of which I am a trustee) than all the politics I could talk in an hundred years. You newspaper boys can take care of my share of the politics." MISS OGEAL WILSON. Manager We carry one of the finest lines UNDERTAKING, GOODS UNDERTAKING, GOODS in the State. We never sleep.

All creditors and all others interested in the afforestation estate, are hereby notified that on the 3rd day of September, 1912, said day being the first Tuesday of said month and the first day of the September, 1912 term.

You are further notified that our claim for compensation as administrators and for attorney fees and other expenses necessarily incurred in the administration of said estate has been filed and, as ordered by the court, will be heard on the said 3rd day of September, 1912, at 10 o'clock a.m. MARGRET RILEY AND JAMES RILEY, Administrators MONROE, ROARK & TAYLOR, Attorneys for Administrators To the voters of Shawnee County, Mr. Chas. W. Bower, who yielded to the persuasion of his many friends to become a candidate for the office of clerk of the district court, is an able, upright and conscientious young man. That he is competent is unquestioned. His nine years' service in the clerical force of the Santa Fe railroad; his seven years' experience as stenographer of the district court under Judge Dana, peculiarly fit him for the place. His business methods cannot be beaten. He will give the county the benefit of his experience, thereby putting the office of the clerk of the district court on a business basis. He is kind and courteous to all, and especially friendly to the colored people, and our people will make no mistake in voting for him.—(Advertising.) STRONG CITY, KANSAS. The A. M.

Liberty is the Star of Hope The night is dark, the sun is hid Beneath the mountain great; The birds and beasts are now asleep, But a guard is standing near; And I! Who am I that the guard should dread? I am not a free and happy man, I have not an easy bed; Ah no! Ah no! You could hear me Ah no! Ah no! You could hear me sigh. Once I was free and happy, But oh! how dreary now; How I wish I was free again, How happy I would be; But as it is I am in a prison cell And the thoughts most break my heart. While lying here tonight I am a wretched convict, Shut off from the outlide world, But brighter days lie before me And I will meet them as a man. I was tried in the criminal court For an unjust crime— The jurors convicted me, The judge gave me my time, The marshall that arrested me Did just as he was told But a man I never saw swore to a lie Just for his witness for; But I hold within my heart No grudge for any man. I'll do my time and go free And do the bet I can. May the Lord bless the man that told the lie Now Lord I leave it at Thy loved feet, This time that secrus no long, I will not seek, I will not long; I almost know that I have been done a wrong. I'll go work the harder, dear Lord, And wait till by some loud, clear voice Thou callest me to freedom. —One in Sorrow.

THAT KANSAS BUILDING Frieco Fair Managers Wonder Why Kansas Commission is Inactive More than 18 months have elapsed since the Kansas legislature appointed a commission to visit San Francisco, select a site and make preliminary arrangements for the erection of a Kansas building at the Panama-Pacific international exposition and no action has been taken. Now Leo S. Robinson, controller of the exposition, is trying to arouse the commission to activity. When the 1911 legislature was in session representatives of the exposition commission visited Topeka and urged on the members of the senate and house the necessity of a Kansas building at the big fair. Their efforts resulted in the appointment of a commission to visit San Francisco and select a sight for a state building and report to the next legislature. This commission was composed of Senator J. T. Reed of Smith county, Representatives J. W. Davis of Klowa and Charles Case of Dickinson county, together with C. A. Cain and Zell Hopkins, two Topeka newspaper men. The commission never met. No action was ever taken and none of the members have submitted a report. Neither was there any communication with the exposition commission. This week the first letter relating to the work of the exposition commission was received by a member of the Kansas commission. In this letter Robinson urged on the Kansans the necessity of hasty action and asked information concerning the plans of the state commission. It is less than six months until the 1913 legislature will convene. No plans have been suggested and no efforts made to select a site for a state building. Senator Reed, a member of the commission, is not in the state and is living in California. If he has personally made any efforts to select a site, he has not communicated the fact to other members of the commission. LARNED, KANSAS.

EDUCATION NOTES Student-nomads or Wandervoegel (wandetbirds), as they are called, who spread Austria in vacation time, receive free lodging in Vienna, as the guests of the city. These nomads come from Germany, Holland, England, and Scandinavia, and the wanderings of many of them extend to the Lower Danube. The authorities are now planning rooms connected with schoolhouses for their accommodation. The province of Ontario, Canada, has passed a law empowering local school boards to require the attendance of boys and girls up to 18 years of age at day or evening classes. Como, Italy, trains teachers in elementary schools and kindergartens to correct defects of speech in their pupils. "I should define culture," says Dr. P. P. Claxton, the United States Commissioner of Education, "not as the routine study of the so-called classics, but as the logical development of a child's natural tendencies and aptitudes." A kindergarten association has been organized in Soochaw, China, where the natives are reported to be so much interested in the movement that the local assembly has voted to pay the way of four Chinese girls through a kindergarten training school. Upon completing their normal course, the girls will return to open free kindergartens in the municipality. A bill pending in the Arizona legislature prohibits consumptives from teaching in the public schools. In Prussia an average of 54 pupils is allotted to a teacher in the cities and 61 in the rural districts. The state district of Potsdam has 82 schools reporting 100 or more pupils to a teacher. "The emphasis of the system of promotion," declares a recent publication of the United States Bureau of Education, "and the strength and efforts of the teachers should be piously devoted to assisting the bright pupils, rather than directed toward forcing forward the dull ones." Ninety dentists of Denver have subscribed $1 a month to a free dental dispensary maintained for the poor children of the city, and in addition each subscriber has agreed to give his services for half a day every month to the same cause. The Keio Free School of Tokio takes the young Japanese at six months of age and after a sixteen-year course it graduates him as a bachelor of law, of arts, or of political or economic science.

Anthony, Jr. Judge Stuart's Record Stands on Its Own Bottom. Repudiate it by Voting for Hon. Dan R. Anthony, Jr. Congressman Dan R. Anthony, Jr. a thoroughbred, dyed-inthe-wool Republican, comes before the voters of the First district with clean hands and an open record. Strict to business and thoroughly competent, he stands pre-emently above his lopped-sidded Demo-pop-insurgent rival. Mr. Anthony has made as good a congressman as the First district has ever had, and neither Kansas nor any other state needs any better man in Congress than Dan Anthony. The Anthony family in Kansas have ever been in the forefront of Kansas history and all through its pages some act of an Anthony blazes forth in a ray of glory for the upbuilding of of unkind, regardless of color or religion, and no selfish motives have ever attended any of these acts, and this same spirit predominate in the rise-up of Congressman Dan R. Anthony, Dr. for during the two terms he has spent in Washington as representative of the people of the 1st district to act of his can be pointed out as an act for selfish motives or petrals aggrandisement. He is for his constituents first, last and all the time, and no horest man or woman has applied to him for assistance and had a deaf ear turned to him or her. Mr. Anthony's record in Congress will bear out the statement that he has at all times and on all occasions voted for the measure before Congress that would be of benefit to the masses of the citizens of the nation, and we are proud of such a record and hope that more men of Mr. Anthony's culture will fire their way into the law-making body of the country, and every citizen of the Hst JAMES SHIMER. and to let Reception Hearl commissioner District. Mr. State, the present county commissioner from the third commissioner district of this county, announces himself a candidate for re-election. Four years ago when he was a candidate for his present term he was opposed by a number of strong and popular factions, but received a nice majority over the stronger of his opponents. He has devoted his entire time to the county's business, believing that a man who has a public position should attend to it and if he has not the time to attend to it and his private business, he should either resign or abandon the private business. Mr. Shumer who previous to his election to the office had been in the coal, feed and grain business, in the Fifth ward of the city, I firmed that he had not the time to attend to that business and at the same time tender honest service to the public and give them a dollar's worth for a dollar he disposed of his private business and has since that time given I service exclusively to the public duties of the office to what the people of the district elected him. While he is the commissioner elected by these citizens living in the one district, he yet realizes that he is one of three commissioners of the whole county and has assisted the other commissioners in their district giving to the people of the districts the things which they need. He has favored good roads and permanent bridges, as fast as funds of county would permit. He is a staunch Republican and is a worthy representative of the party in that office. He is progressive and believes and practices economy in public affairs, so far as economy is practicable in the special matter in charge, but also believes that the necessaries should be provided that the people of the county should have what they need. We commend him to the voters and District who believes in the good of mankind should cast a vote that will keep an honest man in the place where he can defend the rights of those he represents. Vote for Dan R. Anthony, Jr. Anthony Endorsed by Typographical Union. The following resolution was adopted by the Leavenworth Typographical Union No. 45, and which we respectfully ask you to read to all members, and for which please accept our thanks in advance: Leavenwith, Kus., July 8, 1912. Be it resolved by Leavenworth Typographical Union No. 45, at its Typographical Union No. 45, at its 7, 1912, that we hastily endorse Hon. D. R. Anthony, Jr., present congressman from the First Congressional District, State of Kansas, for a nomination and re-election, believing in him that he can further advance the interest of organized labor and the people in general, which he has shown by his past record. It was through his efforts that practically all the civilian employees of the government in the institutions at Port Leavenworth have been put upon the basis of an eight-hour work day. He secured the eight-hour day for the guards at the Federal penitentiary; voted for the eight-hour day on all government contract work and on the Panama canal; so, the workman's compensation act; for the abolishment of peonage; for the employer's liability law; the law to create a bu Stuart's Rite it by Vote I believe that when the votes are count- ted he will still be on the job FOR REPRESENTATIVE Former Speaker of the House Wants to "Come Back." Hon. John S. Simmons, of Hutchinson, announces his candidacy for representative from Reno county. Mr. Simmons is one of the best and most favorably known men in the state having been a member of the house from Lane county and was elected speaker. There is no better equipped man in Kansas for a seat in the state's law-making body than Mr. Simmons. He knows the "ins and outs" of the workings of that body, which will enable him to secure more good legislation for his constituents than all of the first governors combined. Mr. Simmons is one of the most farsighted men in the state—a sharp, sharp business man, late-man and diplomat. He is a student of political economy and knows the wants and needs of the people, and if elected, he will serve them faithfully and well. He is a constant Republican, a hard worker, and loyal to whatever cause he may champion. In Mr. Simmons the colored race have a fair, honest friend one in whom the race can place implicit confidence, and those in his district should lay off their coats and work for his election. HON, L. S. HARVEY FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL! Prominent Wyandotte County Lawyer Seeks Democratic Nomination. The Kansas Democrata would show wisdom if they would nominate Hon. L. S. HARVEY, of Kansas City for attorney general. He is a clean, upright, honorable gentleman, and one of the ablest lawyers in the West. The one great hindrance of the Democratic party, is they usually put forward some "dub" for important offices, and if he should happen to be elected, he invariably "falls down," thus putting the whole party in bad with the people. Mr. Harvey is of ```markdown ``` CONGRESSMAN DAN R. ANTHONY, JR.

He has always been a hard worker for the advancement of the government institutions in and around Leavenworth. Was and still is an ardent advocate of building a highway between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, which will utilize the labor of federal prisoners on such highway instead of putting them at work manufacturing products to come into competition with free labor, and will be of great Record Star noting for the forty-four cabber, and able to hold his own any place on earth. If Kansas should happen to be overcome by one of her hysterical passions, the people don't want to see a "phony" at the head of our legal department. They want a man of brains and plenty of executive ability. In 1902 Mr. Hailey was elected county attorney of Miami county, and handled the affairs of the office in the interest of the people with such success that he was re-nominated in 1904, and re-elected in the face of the fact that the Republicans carried the county by 1,400 majority. He is a splendid fellow and the Democrats should nominate him. BIG TIME AT BURLINGAME.

J. Titus, R. I. Andrews, T. J. Anderson, W. B. Crossan, Frank C. Field and C. H. Lamb, This committee, after due deliberation, made the following report: The Senate of the State of Kansas sitting as a Court in the contest case of James Falloon against W.I.Stuart, after hearing the evidence and argument of Counsel and being fully advised in the premises, finds that the Cortestee, W. I. Stuart, did during the campaign preceding the election of Judge of the Twenty-Second Judicial District of the State of Kansas, held on the eighth day of November 1895, and on said election day, use and give, and caused to be used and given, to divers and sundry electors money, whiskey and cigars for the purpose of influencing voters to vote for him the said W. I Stuart for said office; and the said W. I. Stuart as aforesaid, did offer and induce by giving promise of office, voters to vote for him, the said W. I. Stuart, for said office. Therefore, this Senate, sitting as a Contest Court as aforesaid, finds that the said W. I. Stuart by his acts has rendered himself ineligible to hold said office, and has violated the laws of the State of Kansas,, relating to corrupt practices at elections and we find that said office, for the reasons stated above, is vacant.

I. Stuart be and is hereby ordered and directed to vacate the same. On motion the above journal entry was referred back to the committee with instructions to make it general. The committee struck out the words "use and give and cause to be given to divers and sundry electors money, whiskey and cigars for the purpose of influencing voters to vote for him, the said W. I. Stuart, for said office" and inserted the words "violate the proceedings of Chapter 77 Session laws of 1893 an act to prohibit the corrupt use of money, and corrupt practices at elections." This report was adopted by a vote of 19 to 16. ~| Sane
