trm- One dollar A year in Advance l)c jNortyern gtar. ADMIRE KANSAS' THURSDAY, Juno 22, 1916 VOLUME 8 Obituary are enforcing the new civil service law and retaining every first class man I find in the state's service regardless of his polities. A governor who does less violates his oath. I am trying to discharge my duties faithfully and conscientiously. Trying to be just and fair.

Trying to give everyone in Kansas a square deal. Trying to be a governor for the whole people. "I shall continue to work for economy and efficiency in state and county government, whether in or out of office. To simplify and modernize the entire system of public business is the big problem of the present and the future in Kansas. This does not mean a cheese-paring policy, nor an extravagant or wasteful one, but a policy and a determination to get 100 cents of genuine service for every dollar that is spent and not a cent less.

Laws, Liz, See those Ladies Run! What do you know about so many lady candidates running for county offices this rail'' Just listen hile we name them, On the republican ticket there's Miss Nellie Griffith, the efficient county treasur er, as a candidate to herself and Mrs. Nettie Cart-mel the busy and popular Co. sup't a candidate to succeed herself and also Miss Mary E. Lewis, a candidate lor register of deeds. Then on the Democratic ticket there's Miss Nelle Evans, the present register deeds a candidate to succeed herself, Miss Anna l.rogan, professor in the Normal who wants the job of performing all the marriage ceremonies In the county and she's a candidate for probate judge, then there's Mrs.

Carrie Both Wolfe, a candidate for the office of Co sup't. Now see, three on each ticket! When We get a lady for county engineer, that can be found in the office at least once a year and the rest ol the time at the ball games probably we'll not be wasting all the money the county pays for an old toad called an engineer, and when we get a lady janitor in the court house probably the rooms will get a bath once in two years which will be a great change for the better. Hartley Connable Coats was born in Fabins, N. Y. January 11, 1832, and departed from this Jife very suddenly, at the home of his daughter, Mrs.

Eva Pollock June 16, 1916. Father Coats has lived in Waterloo Township, for nearly 40 years, coming to Kansas in the year 1879. He has lived a consistent christian life and always been found trying to hold up the banner of Christ. On January 1, I860, he was united in marriage to Isabelle Mi Miller of Fast Homer, N. Y.

To tiiis union were born 6 children, one son and daughters. The oldest daughter, Ida having died at the early age of 16 yrS, jfe His aged, and devoted wife, and the remaining children! Mrs. Belle Wolfe, of Cold water, Mrs. Janie Hill, of Zion City, 111., Milton II. Coats, of Admire, Mrs.

Upon his return, he was playing with Dallas and the little dog when he fell, and never spoke He only lived a few minutes, but we feel that 'he has gone to be at rest. That he was prepared to meet his Saviour. Topeka, June 20 Governor Capper today tiled his nomination papers with the secretary oT stale and announced that he is a candidate for a seco.id term, lie will have no opposition for the Republican nomination. In a statement given to the newspapers. Governor Capper said: "Naturally, I should like to feel the people had enough faith in me to vote me a second term.

1 do not ask anyone to support me because it has been the custom to give a public official two terms. I prefer Kansas should decide this question strictly on the merits the candidates, as it always should be decided. Doubtless I have made mistakes but they have been honest mistakes, and I believe my seventeen months of experience has greatly increased my official usefulness. Altho a governor may have lived all his life in Kansas, as I have done, his first term should be spent in investigating, planning, initating imperatively needed reforms. "Within little more than a year 1 have personally inspected From top to bottom, everyone of the state's eighteen educational, charitable and roformitory institutions.

Many of them twice I have suggested or made changes at every one. 1 have also had searching investigations made into their condition and management by experts and impartial citizens. They have never before been so thoroughly probed and scrutinzed. We have let daylight into every thing connected with them. Whatever has found, whether good or bad.

has been made public without reservation and irrespective of whom it hurt We have discovered that in the course of years some of these institutions have fallen The Country Newspaper William Allen White in Harper Magazine Our papers, our little country papers, seem drab and miserably provincial to strangers; yet we who read them read in their lines the sweet, intimate story of life. And all these touches of Nature make us wondrous kind. It is the country newspapers, bringing together daily the threads of the town's life, weaving them into something rich and strange, directing the loom, and giving the (doth its color by mixing tin) lives of all the people in the color pot it is this country newspaper that reveals us to ourselves, that keeps our country hearts uiek and our country minds open and our country faith strong. When the girl at the glove counter marries the boy in the wholesale house the news of their wedding is good far a 10 line wedding notice, and the 40 lines in the country paper gives them self-respect. When indue course we know that their baby is a 12-pounder, named rover or Theodore or Wood row, we have that neighborly feeling that breed's the real democracy.

When We read of death in that home we can mourn with thou that mourn When we see them moving upward in the world, in bo a firm and out toward the country club neighborhood, we rejoice with them that rejoice. Therefore) men and brethren, when you are riding through this vaid of tears upon the California Limited, and chance upon the country paper with its meager telegraph service of 000 or 4,000 words -or, at best 15,000 or when you sec; its array of countryside items; For County Commissioner C. A. Paine has finally allowed his name to be used as a candidate for nomination as county commissioner. Clarence was urged into the race by prominent men of both political parties, who said politics should have nothing to do with the relection.

They wanted a man for the place, who had the ability, who made a success of his own vocation and who would represent the people of this district in an efficient manner. Mr. Paine has lived on a farm, south of Admire most of his past life and has shared in both prosperity and adversity with the rest of his neighbors. He has always given his time and his best work for the benefit of the community and he knows probably as well, the needs of this district, as anyother man living in it and will be found on the job all the time if elected, as commissioner.
