For Sale or Trade. J. A. Cimarron, It is seldom. that, a public official gains guch a firm hold upon tho people as has Mrs.

E. V. Miller, who has filled the ollice of county superintendent for nearly six years with such groat success and satisfaction, that, upon her announcement that she would not again be a candidate for the place the people protested and a petition circulated asking her to reconsider her action and for the' general good of all, enter the field once more. This she consented to do she is now beforo tho people as a candidate for this most important of all the oflices, when wo stop to consider the educational interests. Mrs.

Miller will ask for the nomination at the hands of tho Republicans of Gray county, but her supporters are to be found in all parties. In fact, it may be said that tne people have practically divorced this ollice from politics, and it is well that it is so. With due difference to others who may aspire to this place at the present time tho Re-I'UBMCbn desires to state that it will support the party nominee no matter who it may be, but sincorely believes that Mrs. Miller, by reason of her thorough knowledge of the school suterests and her splendid record, should bo renominated without a single dissenting vote. Once this is done the people will do the rest.

Her candidacy would add strength to tho ticket, and we doubt if the opposition could find any one to make the race against her. To make a long story short the people, regardless of politics, aro for Mrs. Millor, and are anxious to again show their appreciation of her elucient services. J. W.

A. Cooke, tho witty, good-looking and well known editor of the Ellinwood Leader, was in Cimarron last Saturday visiting his' old friend, Ellis Garten. Bro. Cooke is also 'postmaster of Ellinwood. Ho made the Republican a pleasant filial call, and we have no hesitancy in saying that he is a mighty fine fellow and a royal entertainer, while his record as an able newspaper man is to well known to need repetition at our hands.

He put iu the entire day here and Ellis says he showed him all the sights of the town except the "badger fight." Cooke wouldn't stand for that. We did not learn the object of Cooke's visit here, but as he and Garten were Been with their heads in, close contact for some time it is pretty safe to predict that there iB something in the wind in the newspaper line. Reed this and don't get stuck on yourself. "Vanity is not a crime.1 It is a disease. And it is a disease which, permitted to run unchecked, often leads to the nloBt serious consequoncos.

Usually the older tho victim grows the more maligant this ailment. It is a progressive malady. It leads the patient into indiscretions, to overstepping of the bouuds of prudence and propriety" Topoka Capital. Because you aro a big fish in a small pond, don't got it in your head that you are the whole pond, In every con diet those who stand off and look and have sympathy, for ono or the other of the contending parties. That sympathy should always be governed by facts ill the case, and not mear sentiment.

England has the morral support of all tho great nations of the world, while many individuals are in nympa-( by with the South African Ro- publiorlftt iiwjanse England is a groat anil powerful nation. 2nd Because trie Boers are fighting for their independanee. tird Be cause the dutch are now fighting against, tne same power, ami tor the samo thing tnat wo Americans were contending for in 1770. Not a word of which is true, there is no anology. no parallel, unless it be that England now occupies the attitude, the same position that wo Americans occupied iii 1770.

Tho real causo of tho war of 1770 was taxation without representation. Tho English people nave paid nine-tenths ot all the taxes of the Transvaal Republic, and had no voice, no pay, no vote, no representation in the government. They were dnied the right of citizenship. A right they had bought by their energy, skill, industry, influence and achieve ments in developoing and open ing up tne resources of that country. Tho English today are fighting for tho same thing that we Americans foughtfor in 1(70- freedom.

Not independanee, but freedom. It was not independ' mice tho Pilgrams wanted, but but freedom. Whonover America goes, she Americanizes every thing she touches, and, wherever England goes and her authority has been established their goes the church and tho school, and progress in civilization, Religeon and freedom. When English an thority is established in darkest Africa, the shadow will be lifted and the sun light of a brighter day will dawn on that dark land. In 1802 the men who wore the gray, were fighting for independ ance with slavery, but the men who wore the blue were fighting against independanee, and for freedom and national unity for a land ot sacred tor tne loot of a slave.

In Africa it is every man for himself, and the devil take tho hinemost. It is the Surrival of the fittest, and not the fittest to Surrival. He is a blind man who cannot Bee, that God intends the English language, to he the language of the wholo world, and tnat tne star that trembled over the manger be the light of the world. J.
