vve siaieu in tue lasi wees that if our paper was not distributed or Saturday the fault was with the post-offic department, as it went into the office in time for distribution. Ihe postmaster assured U3 that it would be sent out by the carriers on Saturday, yet we hear some subscribers complaining about not receiving their papers until Monday. How is this? Are the subscribers mistaken, or did paper fail to get around? We want to know. It is noticeable that the street car traffic is improving. The lines are kept in good repair and the cars run on schedule time and every accommodation offered to the traveling public, even to heating the cars sufficient to -make them comfortable.

There is neither expense nor labor spared to make this one of the pleasant features of the city. The line on Auenue A has been extended to and terminates east at the Vincent salt works. The transit will be greatly extended when the new motor goes in. The city clerk has moved his office from the second story to the ground floor of the Higley building. This will be more con venient for persons wishing to register for the spring election.

The Republican would urge every voter, male and female, to register and exercise the right of franchise whenever an election occurs. We want a good city government, and in order to have that we must elect good, competent officers, men who will fully represent all the interests of the city. Many persons fail to register, surrender their right to vote, and then complain all the year because suitable officers were not elected. Turn out and reeister, then vote, go home and be happy. R.

M. Easley, who has just returned from Washington, informed a Republican reporter that the Ingalls-Cheadie pension bill would not become a law at this session; that while the Kansas delegation will all vote for it, yet the opposition from eastern capitalists and democratic congres-men will throttle the bill in each house and will kill it too dead to be resurrected during this term. Mr. Easley says that a disability pension bill will doubtless be passed at an early date, but the service pension bill cannot get votes enough now to go through. A letter from E.

N. MoPr of the pension committee, to the editor of tne Republican confirms Mr. Easley'" statement Ei. Hutchinson News: If it is now in order we wish to say, as the time is drawing near and everybody is feeling anxious in regard to the mayoralty of our prosperous city, and that the dignify of the office demands that we select a man well qualified in every particular, a maH of push and energy, a man that will look well to each and every enterprise in which all of our citizens are interested, a man that will do his whole duty and do it well, man that has no friends to reward at the expense of the city, and no enemies to punish for his own gratification. A man who is little in nothing but name is the man we want and that man is W.

L. Little, one of the very best business men of our city. Second Ward. Mr. Little is now serving as a member of the city council.

He is a large property holder, a good business man, well informed on all subjects pertaining to the the city government and would make on excellent mayor. i FREEMAN ACADEMY.
