Historical Society Straits House Sixteenth Year. No. 27. H. H. TUCKER, JR., THE LOGICAL MAN! Kansas Can Confer the Senatorial Toga on No Better Man Than Mr. Tucker. The Hon. H. H. Tucker, president of the Standard Oil Co., who is now candidate for U. S. Senator, subject to the primaries of Aug. 4th, should be given consideration by all voters of Kansas for the reason that he is a man working for good government and the uplift of everyone, be they white or black. History of his past life proves this true. His business with the Standard Oil Co., shows that he is not only after the shows that he is not only after the dollar, but the rights of the people. If not for him, people would have been paying an unreasonable price for gasoline and oil as well as gas. He fought for the reasonable profit on that part, allowing a margin for the running of the business, also of the other oil people. They have tried to put him out of business by trials and charges, but they have had little success. Thousands of people are hearing him where he speaks and giving him their undivided support. Mr. Tucker is an upright man honests and true. He has the courage to battle against any organization when he thinks he is in the right. He is the poor and honest man's friend and if elected Senator will oign your eyes upon many of the lilies and wrongs that are now the fad among the people. You will do right to vote for this man on Aug. 4th. He is not tied up nor is he bound by any anti election promises. It seems to us that he is the only man that the people can elect without any friction. Twenty Years Enough! The Republicans will be called upon to select a candidate, Aug. 4, for United States Senator, to be voted for in November. Hon. Chas. Curtis in seeking a return on that date. Why should he? Is it not time for him to quit and let some other man have a chance? What more can he do and what has he accomplished in his twenty years in Congress, that he should bore the people for a return? Has helped Curtis a sure thing. So far as the colored race is concerned, he has made a failure. Vardonn, Tillman, Hoke Smith and other "Negro Haters" have stood up in the halia of Congress and said yes we staff the ballot box to drive "niggers" away, lynch and burn them and who ever heard of Curtis flaying one of them for this and one thousand other mean things they have done to the race. The "Grandfather Chance" was enacted in several states since he has been in Congress. Has he put his heart and soul in any measure to stop it. He has voted to confirm every judge that has decided all the "Jim Crow" laws that came before them as constitutional, against the colored man. We have had enough of Curtis. What is his record in Congress on the Oklahoma Freedman, thousands were left off the lot, and cheated out of thousands of acres of fertile land. Curtis was second in rank on the Committee on Indian affairs and Chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Interior Department. WHO THEY ARE. SHAWNEE COUNTY. Sun Martin, the well known liveryman of the North side is a candidate for County Commissioner from the First Commissioner District of Shawnee County, which includes all of Shawnee County lying north of the Kawasak river. Mr Martin has lived in this county most of his life, resided on a farm Northwest of Topeka in the North-west corner of Shawnee County for about twenty years. During his boyhood daws attended the public schools of Silver Lake, Kansag. Besides his work on the farm, he found time to be road overseer for a number of years. He had the reputation of being a successful farmer, a good road overseer, the roads during the time he served in that capacity being always in the best of condition. He has been in the livery business in North Topeka about ten years, being now engaged in the mule and horse business at 109 West Curtis street. North Topeka. His business of farmer, road overseer and liverman has made him accustomed with most every one in the first ward and in Northern Shawnee Farms, stock raiders, business men and all alike know him and like him. His business experience har well qualified him for the office of county Commissioner. He is familiar with the duties, knows what a commissioner, should do and be, and what the, people of the district expect and demand of their commissioner. People, over in that district say he will have great strength and be one of the leading candidates at the Primary. Tinkham Veale a Candidate for Tinkham Veale a Candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka Tinkham (Tink) Veale as his friends call him is a candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka. We do not believe in voting for or against a man because of who his father was or is or who are his ancestors, yet in this connection we think it not out of place to at least refer to the fact that he is a grandson of Col. George W. Veale. Col Veale has an enviable civil war record, is entitled to his record as Colonel. He was a real colonel and is not referred to as Colonel, merely through courtesy as some are, but Colonel was his rank. He was with his regiment in many hard fight engagements during the great internal struggle and is an honored and respected citizen. Tinkham, the subject of this article is the son of George W. Veale, Jr. the eldest son of Col. and Mrs. Veale. is one of the best young lawyers in the county. During the administration of Mr. Simon as county attorney, he was Simon's deputy. He made gond, was an efficient and industrious officer, has built up a good practice and is every way qualified for the Judgeship to which he aspires. Tinkham is a Republican, no ims, just Republican and as such he is a candidate. Hugh Fisher, a Candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka. In the campaign now on for the various County offices, there are many candidates, but none more prominent than the promising and popular young lawyer, Hugh Fisher, who is a cand date for the office of Judge of the Court of Topeka. Hugh is a graduate of Washburn College and of the Washburn Law School. In both of which he was one of the leader and from which he graduated with high honors. He is a hustler, very studious and attends strictly to business. Has a finely furnished and well appointed suite of offices in which he transacts much important business. He is a safe counselor and an able trial lawyer all of which go to make up a successful practitioner. He has built up a large and paying practice and has an enviable clientage, some of them the best people in the community. He treats all fairly, makes friends readily and when once made he holds them. He is a Republican, always has been, and row as a Republican is a candidate for this important office, of Judge of the Court of Topeka, [detter krown by some as the City Court, having offices in the third floor of the Court House.] He is at this time during the time that Judge Garver is away on his summer vacation, serving as the Judge Pro Tem of said court. He has often been called on to serve as Judge Pro Tem and has always given good satisfaction. Mr. Fisher's developing great strength and is a most formidable candidate and has the best wishs of the Plaindealer for his success. He is the son of a veteran and a grandson of a veteran of the Civil War. His father and grandfather having been participants in that struggle on the Union side, were honorably discharged and are members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Fisher is married and has a nice home and in this his home life is ideal. In every way as a lawyer and as a citizen he seems well qualified for the place he seeks to fill. Hugh McFarland, the present popu- lar, uncle, well will be and effec- ient Judge of the Probate and Juven- erile Courts of Shawnee county is a candidate for renomination. In 1912, Judge Schock who was then serving his second term was a candidate for a third term. Opposed to him was Hugh McFarland, the present Probate Judge. Hugh is a young man, a native Kansas. His birth place being To- neka. He is the son of Judge J. D. McFarland one of the veteran lawyers of the state and a man who has probably practiced for a lower continuous period at the Toneka Bar then any other of its members. The combined duties involving on the Judge of the Probate and Juvenile Courts make the Judhipship so easy task. To properly preside over those courts requires constant attention, long hours daily, great ability legal, executive and in the mastery of details. The Probate Court in the estimation of many good judges is the most important office in the county. Through this court every so many years passes all of the property in the county; into this court all the widows must go for protection to themselves and their children; here is where the juridiction over the estates, hodges and affairs of minors nohars and the insane is vested. The rights of widows and children must be protected and their interests conserved; titles to property must be kept straight, orphan children must be cared for and protected Judge McFarlane has been careful and honest in the performance of these SACRED duties. His responsibilities as Administrators and Guardians have been carefully and wisely made and each estate administered. (Continued on page 5.) (Continued on page 8. co'. 5.) TOPEKA.KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING JULY 10, 1914. BOWMAN FOR CONGRESS The Second, the "Fighting" District of Kansas, Greets with Applause the Announcement of' N. L. Bowman. (By A. D. GRIFIN, SENATOR N. L. BOWMAN, THE PRESENT STATE SENATOR FROM THE SENATORIAL DISTRICT OF WHICH ANDERSON COUNTY IS A PAINT IS NOW A CANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS IN THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF KANSAS. HE IS AN OLD LINE DEMOCRAT AT JUST THE RIGHT AGE AND PERIOD, OF MAJURE JUDGEMENT TO MAKE HIM AN IDEAL CONGRESSMAN. HE IS A-FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE. A FINE FELLOW, AN ABLE LAWYER, GOOD CITIZEN, HUSBAND AND FATHER. IN SHORT, HE HAS ALL THE NECESSARY QUALITIES TO MAKE A GOOD CONGRESSMAN. The old Second Congressional District never allows politics to lag, but down there a fight can always be depended upon, especially is this true in the congressional contests, and this year is no exception to the rule. The present State Senator, N. L. Bowman is a candidate or congress this year from the second, the FIGHTING second. He is a fighter and it takes a fighter down there in that district to win, and it takes a fighter in Washington to accomplish any thing, in fact, a combination of energy, ability, and willingness to to fight are all essential elements entering into contests in the second, ad required by a successful congressman. Senator Bowman has reached a mature age, he is a capable lawyer, has a well trained judicial mind, is a fine public speaker, and able debater. He served in the senate in the law legislature, was given some of the most important committee assignments, was chairman of important committees and one of the floor leaders on the majority, the democratic side, of the Senate. A great many bene..cial laws were enacted, some proposed vicious ones killed and some heretofore enacted laws which had proven unwise were repealed. Senator Bowman as the Senate Journal shows was on the right side of these measures. when it was one which was unwise, he voted and worked against it, and in the committee rooms and on the floor, he was always alert and wide awake, always on the job to serve his people, and the people of the state. The Senator is an old line democrat and as such voted with his party on party measures, but where the people and the interests of the entire citizenship of Kansas were at stake, he voted not as a partisan, but as patriotic Kansan and American citizen. Senator Bowman was born in Illinois and came to Kansas when he was thirteen years of age. He has been a continuous citizen of Kansas ever since that time. He has been successful in his business, is one of the solid business man and able lawyers of the state. In addition to his education as a lawyer he is an able civil engineer, and in the earlier days, was, when living in Lynn county, county surveyor, and afterwards was elected county attorney of Anderson county. In 1902 he was a candidate, as the democratic nominee, in the second district against J. D. Bowersock. He was defeated by Bowersock, but he received an enormous vote. Conditions were different then from what they are now, and this year, Senator Bowman is the strongest democrat in the field and his chances for success are exceedingly bright. Kansas in the past, since she came into her own and joined the sisterhood of states, making her entrance through bloody battle fields has been presented by some able man, great statesmen, in the Congress of the United States. She has had some she has been ashamed of, for whom she has had to apologize, some she prefers not to hear mentioned, some whose names and statues belong in the halls of fame, some who in their time ranked with the really great statesmen of their time. Those who know Senator Bowman, know that for him, they will never have to apologize, that they will not have to know their heads in shame when he is mentioned as a representative from Kansas. Sirator Bowman is known as a clean man, a gentleman, a kind and loving husband and father, a fine neighbor, desirable citizen, a splendid lawyer, and able legislator. With N. L. Bowman in the Congress of the United States as her representative from the Second Kansas Congressional District, Kansas will be well represented, by a man namely the confidence of the people of Kansas, of his associates in Congress and of the people of the entire country whose representative he will be. He is the strongest man the democrats can nominate in the second district for Congress. They will make a mistake if they do not grasp their opportunity to place in Congress from that district, a democrat. THE MEMORIAL OF JOHN H. HARRIS N. L. BOWMAN. Give the nomination to Mr. Bowman, and their success is assured at the November election. The second Kansas Congressional District is one of the large districts in the state. The colored population of this district is the largest of any district in the state. Serr'or Bowman has been tried in the Kansas Legislature and on all occasions has been friendly with the colored people and assisted them in all ways that he could. The Negro voters of the state are independent in their voting, and are voting for the man, the one who is their friend, and the friend of their race, and from whom he receive fair treatment. Mr. Bowman is satisfactory to them. They like him and respect him as a fair man to all people. With him in Congress they know they will be pies set by a friend in the Congress of the United States. They are supporting him. Their numbers are sufficient to carry the election, and they will carry it for Senator N. L. Bowman. WRITTEN IN THE FAMILY. The above is the picture of the Kitt. granddaughter of Senator N. L. Bowman and an old colored man ```markdown ``` that has made his home with the Bowmans all of his life. He is very much thought of by the entire family and is a great favorite among the children. Notes of Interest in Politics and Business in Kansas. (By A. D. GRIFFIN.) HODGES HAS MADE GOOD. People of All Crseda and Races Dub Him the Best Governor Kansas Ever Had. When we look back over the past and recall the many "investigations" represented by some able men, great etc., at the different State institu- tions, brought about thru' chief executive who placed the state's business solely into the hands of some grafter, then view the business methods employed by Governor Hodges in the management of these institutions, politics are cast aside and all doff their hats to the best business man that ever presided over Kansas. This writer has visited all of the State Public Institutions of Kansas during the past few months and has yet to hear a discordant note inside or out. Governor Hodges feels and fully realizes that he is a servant of the people and he exercises more care with their business than he ever did in his own personal affairs. "He knows and has close touch with every thing which comes under the supervision of the state, and can account accurately for any and all transactions which occur in the State's routine of business. Governor Hodges is a great "visitor" and his time has been spent personally inspecting the conditions of the various institutions of the state. He is a working Governor, and knows the state's business from A to Z, and his fine executive ability and faultless business methods have won for him the admiration and respect of the men and women of all races, creeds, color and religion, and they proudly dub him the best and most practical Governor the state has ever had. Governor Hodges has never stepped aside to favor any individual clique or clan, but like the manly man, he has proven to be, he has simply performed his duty, which means equality and justice to all alike. He has never catered to Caucasian, Negro, Indian, Jew or Slav. He has simply set his heart and soul upon Duty and using Justice as his guide, all men have been treated free and equal. Viewing from a racial standpoint, what more could the colored people expect or ask? "They are black, that's true, but I demand that they be given equal opportunity, with every one else, and so far as it lies in my power to do so, I'll protect them in every right." What more could the colored people of this or any other state expect? Nothing, and throut Kansas they love honor and respect Governor Hodges, and they are going to prove themselves in a more substantial way at the coming election. MANHATTAN, RILEY COUNTY KANSAS. Bob Spilman In A Candidate To Succeed Himself As Clerk of the District Court. Hon, Robert B. Spilman, the present agreeable and efficient Clerk of the District Court of Riley County is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Spilman is a republican and was elected to the office two years ago by a nice vote. He always has been a republican and continued as such through all the misses, a reliable, consistent republican, as such he made his canvass before and won as a republican he now asks the people for their votes. The volume of business passing through the office in that county is great as that is a busy Judicial District, requiring constant, careful and conscientious attention, all this Mr. Spilman has given to it. The Judge of the District Court of that District and the members of the bar there as well are satisfied with his method of attending 'to the duties of the efficient. He is efficient, careful, honest and agreeable all of which meets with the approval of the people. He has given much time and contributed financially to the success of the party, is a representative republican and should receive the united support of his party. He is a candidate for a second term, if he has made good in the first term he should be rewarded with a second term. Those persons in Manhattan best qualified to know says he has made good. His friends say he will be reelected and that he deserves to be. SHAWNEE COUNTY, KANSAS. Representative for the District in Topeka Comprising the Second Third and Fourth Wards Of The City. Hon. W. A. S. Bird the veteran lawyer of Topeka is again a candidate for the legislature from the representative district, which he so ably represented, during three regular sessions and one special session of the Kansas legislature of Kansas. Mr. Bird came to Kansas in the early eighties and is a native of Pennsylvania. He has ever been a republican always safe and reliable, never going off impulsively after every lism, just to be with the crowd and be popular. He served Topeka as her city attorney, once by an appointment and three times by election, making eight years in all in that position. These years were during the city's most constructive period and 'when there was more work for the city attorney and his assistant to do than there has been since. During these years the salary of himself and assistant was much smaller than now, withstanding more work was done. During his administration there were many cases and suits brought against the city; and still, under his able Price $1 50 Per Year. management of the law department the percent of successful claimants and the amounts they recovered was very small. As a legislator, Mr. Bird has been successful in representing his constituents. The sessions at which he was in attendance as a member were historical in the annals of Kansas, these were the sessions at which th anti-passa laws were enacted, the primary law written into the statues, the utilities commission created, the office of state printer made elective and the consequent graft following the appointive office done away with. Also during this period commission form of government for cities was provided for under certain conditions. This state being the advance guard, the plongers of many of these movements. Mr. Bird is a worker, his energy is inexhaustible and his ability marvelous. He was recognized as one of such exceptional ability that he was once on his entrance to the legislature given many important committee assignments and chairmanships, most important of which was the chairmanship of the committee to revise the Charter for all the cities of Kansas. In these committees and on the floor of the house as well he was always alert, conscientious, and able in the dispatch of the business before them. He was a good speaker, a shrewd debator, a splendid parliamentarian and a most noble lawyer. It has now been several sessions since he was a member of the Kansas Leg slature and the people of the district he aspires to represent will do well to return him to his old place, so that they may again in the cities big business district have a representative of ability, one who is safe, sane and sound in his view on public questions, a fine man, able lawyer, and an able and experienced legislator, whose record as a man, an officer, lawyer, and legislator are all splendid tributes to him in all the capacities life. It seems to be conceded, now that he has entered the field after earnest solicitation on the part of his friends, that the next representative from the representative district will be W. A. S. Bird. JUNCTION CITY, GEARY COUN TY, KANSAS. Peter Koerner of Junction City, is a candidate for sheriff of Geary county, subject to the Republican primaries to be held Aug. 4th. Mr. Koerner is a fine citizen, has lived in Junction City for many years and is a staunch and life long republican. We find that he has a hos. of friends and supporters all of whom testify to his sterling character, of his republicanization and to his standing as a citizen and neighbor. All are of one voice that he is a good citizen, a good business man, patriotic and law abiding and that he is good material with which to fill the office of Sheriff. He is a fine fellow personally, every one who knows him seems to like him, he is agreeable, a good mixer and a fine fellow to meet and know. The indications are that he will be one of the leading candidates for the position for which he inspires and if elected we are of the onion that he will make a splendid officer. Walter A. Birch, a Candidate for Register of Deeds.—Walter A. Birch, one of the prominent young business men of Junction City, Kansas, is a candidate this year for the office of Register of Deeds. Mr. Birch is running on the Progressive ticket. He has lived in Geary county for twenty-three years, was educated in the public schools of Junction City and later attended Wesleyan Business College at Salina, Kansas, and is well qualified by education and otherwise for this position. The dutes of the office of Register of Dedds are such that no person should be elected to that office who has not a fair education. This is the office in which all transfers of property are recorded and technical accuracy is required. The, highlights m.stake, caused either by carelessness or incompetency, makes endless trouble. Mr. Buch, since his school days, has been employed in clerical work and in places of trust—positions calling for accuracy, business ability and integrity. At this time he is employed by the Bingham Clothing Co., at 620 N. Washington street. His employers speak well of him and endorse him, and state that from the standpoint of ability, integrity energy and carefulness he is well qualified for the duties of the office. One of the safest ways of getting a line on a man is by what his employers think of him. In that respect and measured by that standard, Walter is all right. Mr. Birch is running on the Progressive ticket and is progressive and up-to-date not only in politics, but in the other affairs of life as well. His friends and supporters, of whom he has many, are enthusiastic over his chances. He is much talked of in Geary county and it looks as though his vote would be large. He is affable and agreeable and knows how to meet the public and how to gain and retain their confidence. He has the confidence, to a large degree, of a great many people and we think that all who vote for him for Register of Deeds of Geary county will find that they did not misplace their confidence.

At different times during her illness she was heard to repeat her favorite passage of scripture—"The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want." During the last days of her illness she sang that dear old song, "I'll soon be free from every trial." Siister Phelps leaves a true and devoted husband, who gave her every care that love and money could secure also three sisters, one who left her home and stood by her bedside night and day, truing to make the life haupy that was soon to pass from the world to one of eternal happiness. There are also two brothers and a father to mourn her loss. Be still sad heart and cease repining. Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. The relatives are: Mrs Julia Hammonds, Lebanon, Ill.; Mrs. H. M.

Winans, Candidate for Register of Deeds—In Riley county we find o ur old friend, Dr. Winans, a candidate for re-election to the office of Register of Deeds, a position he has so ably filled during the present term. Dr. Winans is a Republican, is an ear and eye specialist, and capable and reliable in his profession. Two years ago he asked the Republicans of the county to give him the nomination for the office of Register of Deeds. They granted his request, then elected him. He now asks for the customary second term. The management of the office has been excellent, and Dr. Winans has proved very efficient, winning much popularity with the people. The patrons of the office are pleased with the treatment accorded them by he and his deputies. They say he and his assistants are competent, that they are pleasant and agreeable to the limit and by his ability and fair treatment of all he meirts the support of the general public. We are personally acquainted with Dr. Winans; we know him to be a fine gentleman, in the prime of life, a apriend doctor, a staunch Republican and a all-round clean man. He has our best wishes for his continued success. S. J. Pratt, Prominent Business and Banker—Manhattan, Kansas, county seat of Riley county, is a thriving city in the best part of Kansas, and is the seat of the Kansas State Agricultural College and the Kansas State Experimental Station in connection therewith. It is the adjacent county to Geary, is convenient to the great Ft. Riley Military Post and Reservation, and convenient to Topeka, all of which make it a business and commercial center. With the surrounding country, such as it is, and the resources great and varied as they are, it is but natural that there should be, as there is, at this point some large and strong banking and business institutions. The Citizens State Bank of Manhattan is one of the sound banking establishments of the state. Mr. S. J. Pratt is the president of this institution, and he is one of the state's best financiers, and such a man as to cause a feeling of confidence on the part of the people in any institution with which he is connected as the official head. This bank has a large capital stock and a fine corp of officers, all of whom give to the public and the patrons of the bank the best attention. Mr. Pratt is frequently sought for advice on business propositions and patrons of the bang often call on him to guide them in the right way. They find his counsel always wise and timely. We have no doubt but that this bank will continue to grow and prosper under the leadership of such a fine business man, scholarly and refined gentleman, financier and citizen as President Pratt. SALINE COUNTY Judge Wilson a candidate for Re-flection an probate Judge—Out in Saline county politics is now the one important topic of conversation, the interest manifested being greater than usual and the number of candidates is large. Judge C. W. Wilson, present Judge of the Probate and Juvenile Court of that county, is a candidate for re-election. Judge Wilson has administered the duties of this office well, and has given perfect satisfaction to the people of that county. The office of Probate Judge and Judge of the Juvenile Court in Kansas is one of the most important offices in the gift of the people. As all of the property in the state passes through her probate courts for administration ever so often, as the judge of this court deals with the widows and orphans, the insane and the incompetent, whose interests he must take care of and whom he must protect, it is highly important that the person chosen to fill this important office should be capable, honest and of good business, as well as legal ability. Judge Wilson has shown that he understands the duties of the office and appreciates the great responsibilities involved in connection with the same. He is a prominent citizen, a sturgeon democrat and as a citizen and Democrat, is popular in the county. He was elected before by a good vote and as his record has been good he doubtless has lost none of his friends and in addition thereto has made new ones, all of whom are now supporting him in his canvass for re-election. His friends say that he will win and that he will continue as Probate and Juvenile Judge for the ensuing two years. Sheriff Anderson a Candidate for Re-Election—The many friends of Sheriff Aug. V. Anderson are pleased to know that he is a candidate for re-election for a second term. By the constitution of Kansas it is provided that no person shall be eligible to serve more than two consecutive terms as sheriff or treasurer of any county in Kansas. There is nothing however which prohibits the election of a person for a second term but rather is not only permissible but is the custom and part of the vast unwritten law of the land that when an officer has made good during one term that the people may and should say to him by their ballots: "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the office for another term." Sherif Anderson is an efficient officer, a good fellow, a good citizen and a good Democrat, a combination hard to beat. He is now serving his first term in office, has made good performing all his duties, has performed all his office has treated every on fairly and courteously and by all rules of the political game should be given the office for the usual complimentary second term, which he now asks and which is all the constitution allows him to ask. If you appreciate a good officer, admire a fine gentleman and believe in rewarding an officer for faithful services, then you should vote for Sheriff Anderson for re-election. He is a good Democrat, a fine man, well liked by all, has many friends who will rally to his support. He had a good vote before and deserves a good vote now. DICKINSON COUNTY. Abilene, Kansas Herman Hassler, Candidate for Re-Election—Herman Hassler, the present sheriff of Dickinson county, is a candidate for re-election. He has served one term as sheriff of Dickinson county and has made a most efficient and popular sheriff. Dickinson county, normally Republican, honored Mr. Hassler by electing him to the office of sheriff by a handsome majority, though a Democrat, and as such officer he has, in the performance of his duties, treated all fairly and impartially and has made a splendid officer. He has lived in Kansas many years, has always been a Democrat, is well liked as a citizen; is a pleasant man to meet, easy to approach and has a large number of enthusiastic friends and supporters, all of whom predict for him a good vote at the coming primary election, Aug. 4th. THE LEE-WARREN MILLING CO. Sallona's Riz. Industry. Salina Kansas, is one of the best cities of its size, not only in Kansas, but in the country. It has grown as a manufacturing and jobbing center until it has no equal for its population anywhere in Kansas. Among its many fine industrial institution is the Lee-Warren Milling Company. This institution has a capacity of 500 barrels of flour a day, and most of the year runs full time, that is, night and day. They use only the best of hard winter wheat and make some of the best brands of flour on the market. The brand known as the "American Eagle," turned out by the Lee-Warren Co., is a high grade flour and has a large sale and is handled by most of the reliable grocers in the state, and in Topeka it has an extra large sale. The Chase (Wholesale) company is the distributing agency in Topeka, and they distribute in Topeka and the surrounding territory many cars of this flour every month. The "American Eagle" flour is a strictly high grade flour and is intended for the best class of baking purposes. The Chase company report that they lose no customers and when they sell the first sack of this flour to a new one a repeat order is assured. This speaks well for this mill, as there are in Topeka seven big flouring mills making good flour and with which this company has to compete. Mr. Chas. M. Todd, who is secretary and treasurer of this company, is a progressive and up-to-date business man and miller. As secretary and treasurer of this company he devotes his entire time to the business. The management devolves upon him and it is due to his foresight, energy, business ability and standing in the business and financial world that this mill is on such a prosperous basis and has so many and well satisfied patrons throughout the entire state and country. Their mill is a modern mill, is in the heart of the HARD TURKEY WHEAT country and they use only the best grade of this quality of wheat and make the best grade of flour which can be made from such wheat by the most modern milling machinery. JUNCTION CITY Hon. Loring Trott, Candidate for Fifth District Congressman—Hon. Loring Trott of Junction City, and State Senator from that senatorial district, is now a candidate on the Progressive ticket for Congress from the Fifth Kansas Congressional District. Senator Trott is a native of Junction City, being therefore, a "native son." He was educated in the public schools of that city, afterwards attending college and graduating with honors. Mr. Trott was elected to represent the twenty-first senatorial district of which Junction City is a part, in the State Legislature. He served with credit and distinction. The State Senate is the highest legislative body in the state, just as the upper house of Congress of the United States is the nation's highest legislative body, and the State Senate is therefore the highest legislative body to which one may be elected and in which he can have the honor of serving the people, until he has the honor of being elected to serve them in the House of Representatives at Washington, which honor Senator Trott now seeks. Although the State Legislature is inferior to Congress, vet the duties and the training are much the same and service in the State Legislature is a school for one who wishes to go up higher. If the candidate for higher honors did not make good in the State Legislature the chances are not bright for making good in Congress hence, as the candidate now before us was a member of the Kansas Legislature and examination of his record in that body is available here and much better as to the possibilities of his making good in Congress. The Senate Journal, the fact that Senator Loring Trott was impressed Bills, a most important com- mittee, and that he was a member of the Committee on Education and Educational Institutions in cities of the first and second class. These are all important committees, and an assignment to them, by the President of the Senate is some indication of the ability of the Senator from the twenty-first district. (Many of the persons termed laymen do not know that the committees are where measures, as a rule, are either passed or killed, and that on the floor of the House or Senate, may be, the actions of the committee are confined, is in the committee room where the battles are fought and proposed laws, whether good or bad, are made or killed, and this being true, the importance of good committees assignments can be more readily understood. The Representative or Senator who has not ability or influence enough to secure for him important committee assignments has very little to do and is practical, a legislative nonentity. Senator Trott had the ability and the influence and got the important committee assignments herein referred to, besides being assigned to important joint and conference committees. He made good, was in the thick of the fight, was present at all committee meetings and as the reports of the committees show, and as is substantiated by the records, and his actions on the floor of the Senate, he was on the right side of all proposed good measures and his vote was recorded for their passage. It is also to a man's credit that he knows how and when to oppose as well as support a measure. There are many bad and vicious measures proposed, which should be permetorally killed and this duty also falls upon the committee first, and then the entire membership, by way of confirmation to back up the action of the committee. In this part Senator Trott was an adept. Senator is a ready debater, a good parliamentarian, safe, cool-headed and sound. He made good as a legislator and is now a subject deserving promotion. He is in the prime of life, a good mixer, a fine fellow, easy to approach, is a good friend to our race and has helped them when he could and has been and is their friend. They recognize this fact and will give him their support in the coming primaries. The indications are that he will receive a big vote from all factions. WICHITA, KANSAS The ladies of the G. L. A. club closed their meetings for the season on last Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. J. L. Harper, with an indoor picnic, having had to change their plans for an outing at Linwood Park on account of the weather, however, it proved to be one of the most enjoyable social affairs given recently. Three long tables were laid in three rooms from which was served a bonteous Seast, consisting of a baked ham, fried spring chickens, vegetables, salads, cake and ice cream, which was highly enjoyed by the members and their friends, who were fortunate enough to be present and partake of it with them.

The service was very impressive, with an eloquent address by the pastor, Rev. C. A. Williams; appropriate music and personal testimonies from the old members. The following resolutions were read: Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God and Supreme Ruler, to remove from us, the late Rev. J. W Wilson, who has answered the last call, and passed to the great beyond and in the demise of this highly honored and worthy pastor, who for so many years was untiring, faithful and true to the cause which he espoused for the Master, the entire church experiences an invaluable loss and that he was especially endearced to our church where he served as pastor from 1887 to 1889, proving himself a capable Christian leader, leaving a record of his energy and labor and having erected in 1889 the present structure we now occupy, being the first brick edifice erected for colored worship in the city., and whereas, a few days ago a loving message was sent conveying his expressed intention of attending the corner stone laying of the new church now in course of erection; and preach the farewell resmier in the old church, and showing that he still retained a great love and interest for the members. Resolved that our church keenly feels the disappointment, and has sustained a great loss in the death of Rev. J. W Wilson, whose commendable Christian character and earnest efforts were manifested during his pastorate here, and that his kind words, his noble work will live on and never die. Resolved that we show in humble submission to the will of God who is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind, and Resolved that we extend our earnest sympathy to his family in their bereavement, resolutions he transmitted to the family, he spread upon the church record and to the Plainidealer, and that our church join in saving; Rest from thy loved employ; the battle fought, the victory won.

For some time there have been butterings of discontent, which culminated at last in the candidacy of Senator Noah L. Bowman of Garnett. Senator Bowman is probably the strongest candidate who could have been advanced in the district. An Illinois product, his parents came to Linn county when he was 13. His first office was County Survevior, of Linn county. He has been County Attorney of Anderson county, a member of the Legislature and in 1902 was the Democratic candidate for Congress against J. D. Bowersock. Mr. Bowman was one of the most prominent Senators in the last Legislature. He has also served in his city council. Mr. Bowman is an able attorney, an exceedingly amiable and kind hearted man, simple and democratic in his ways and strictly hortest. He is a man of solid character and manifold activities. "By a strange coincidence Senator Bowman's father John Morris Bowman, is the grandson of Robert Morris, the patriotic financier of the Revolution. Should Mr. Bowman be nominated and elected, the Second District will have selected a worthy man.—The X-Ray Democrat.

(Continued from page 1.) by him has received his personal attention; estates have not been looted or plundered as they have by some Probate Judges. The creation of the Juvenile Court was a humane act of the legislature as was also the designation of the Probate Judge to be the Judge of that Court. As Probate Judge his duties in many respects are along those same channels any way and it was therefore very proper for the legislature to add those duties and responsibilities to those he already had. In this department of the work Judge McFarland has been eminently successful, the work of the court is no managed that there are regular weekly reporting days for the children constituting his large and growing family of boys and girls. To be present on one of those days is an interesting experience to one who is there for the first time, and it is gratifying to see how much the children think of "THEIR" Judge and how kind and careful he is with them. Previous to the meeting of the last legislature the Probate Judge operated on a Fee basis with the result that in Shawnee county, Wyandotte and Sedgwick the compensation which the Judge of that court received and was allowed to retain for himself amounted to about eighteen thousand dollars per year, making the compensation to one so fortunate as to hold the office two full terms, four years, the margin, cent sum of *Rebenty-Two Thousand Dollars* ($72,000.00). No wonder that in the past some who had held the office one term, were on the inside and know its value to them were so desperate to retain it indefinitely. Judge McFarland was the first to advocate all county officers on a regular salary and all fees to the county, he made his campaign largely on that issue, and against the third term and won by a handsome vote. favors a continuance of the salary basis as in vogue since the last legislature and states that he will be satisfied with two terms, he assures his friends that he won't be a candidate for a third consecutive term. The little opposition which has developed is of little if any consequence. Hugh will be renominated and elected. Mr. T. Veale has announced himself candidate for Judge of the Court of Toledo. He is a wide awake lawyer and was the assistant county attorney, when he joined he filled credit and honor. He was born in Toledo in 1917 and now he was a land trustee his life. He served the Topeka daily Capital for the years at the law school Washburn. He is a wrist-through the Topocha middle schools and law in the firm of Whitcomb & Hamilton. Mr. Whitcomb is now Judge of the Second Division of the District Court. --- SHAWNEE COUNTY Sam Martin, County Commissioner; Mike Alt, Clerk of the Court of Tonkea; Hugh Fisher, Judge of the Court of Topeka; Hugh McFarland; Probate Judge; L.
