Is Mr. Roosevelt in favor of reciprocity? Gov Hoch has declared in favor of another term for Mr. Roosevelt. Some time ago Bill Hackney grew very indignant when the square deal questions were put to him and said it was nobody's business what he thought relative to the principles enunciated. Mr.

Hackney was candidate for the legislature and last 2 Saturday was ingloriously defeated for the nomination. Evidently somebody made i it his business what their candidate should think. According to the Lawrence World that town is the only city in all the country that has representatiye of the white, black and red races in the musical push "all to once" on their streets. The World says: is probably the only town in Lawrence the state that has three brass bands on tap continually, and all of them good ones. Buch's band of white men, Mayhew's band of black men and the Haskell band of red men are among the best of their respective races in the state, or perhaps in the Middle west.

"Uncle Joe" appeared as vigorous as a much younger man than the speaker of the house last Tuesday evening. For an hour Mr. Cannon entertained the big audiin his fascinating style, He devoted ence his time to rehearsing the history of the republican and democratic parties since the days of Lincoln. He is a man of wonderful mental grasp, fearless in his convictions and fair to his opponents. He is one of the strongest campaigners in this country to day.

The Cuban republic has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Uncle Sam is having no little trouble in teaching others the important lessons of self government. Senator Burton is a trifle more than human if he does not enjoy quiet satisfaction at Senator Bailey's discomfort. Again we are reminded that he who lives in glass houses should not throw stones. Attorney General Hadley received a grand ovation at convention hall Monday night.

The young attorney is the coming man. There are many good things awaiting him. What a sensible thing if Mis. souri would send him to the senate instead of gum shoe Bill Stone. On going to press it looks very much as though the Cuban government was about to disolve.

President Palma and the vicepresident say that they will. resign and that means an end to the administration that has aroused such a storm of opposition. It looks like the question at issue is simply the "ins" against the "outs." As the days come and go, the people of Kansas are becoming more and more convinced that they want a strong able bodied statesman in the senate to fill the "Burton succession." They want a man who is aggressive and is not afraid of senatorial courtesy or is not easily lulled to sleep by defunct chairmanships, or made to feel extremely satisfied in doing nothing but draw his salary. They want a statesman in keeping with the vigor of the progressive times, one who has his political future before him to spur him on to do his very best. TEMPTING YOUNG MEN.

A well meaning lot of young ladies in Cowley county forming themselves into a reform club will be responsible for many a young man's down fall. The club refuses to bestow kisses until boy tobacco chewers give pledges to quit and now the boys who do not use the weed are learning to chew in order to get, the reward for quitting. THE WISE PRODIGAL. It is said Chairman Sherman of the republican campaign committee was recently approached by a someweat unimportant Ohio politician, who, though formerly a republican, has of late years voted the state democratic tickets. It appears from the man's conversation that he had seen the error of his way and was now once more prepared to vote and work for the party whicg he had left.

At the same time he hinted he would like a job at camqaign headquarters. "I'm sorry," Mr. Sherman is reported to have replied, "that I shall have to disappoint you. Glad to see you back but in these days the wise prodigal brings along his own calf." WHY NOT. TRY SOMEBODY ELSE? Again the question comes up as to what rights a senatior has to hire himself to clientage other than the people.

Some claim that he has a right to practice law and secure all the business out side that he may be able to control. Of course by virtue of his position politically he is able to handle some very profitable business. As there appears to be some question about this, the people holding to the notion that a senator's time belongs to the people and that it is very unbecoming for him to hire out to special interests, suppose we settle the matter by electing someone who is not a lawyer and that will give the grasping attorney an opportunity to secure all the clients he may demand by virtue of his ability and the people's interest will not be in jeopardy by sending men to represent them whose profession calls them into the employ of others for a fee: There are others who are not lawyers who are amply able to represent the people in the senate and who will be content to serve the people and them only. COL. HARRIS AND INDEPENDENT VOTING.

Time was when Col. Harris was not so liberal as now in the matter of liberal voting. When Hon. E. H.

Funston contested with Mr. Moore for a seat following the election in 1894 in which Mr. Funston claims that he had been defrauded of his seat, the Colonel held different views touching the matter of voting. Mr. Funston was given time to address the house.

This he did carefully, going over the evidence. making a thorough canvass of the same and wound up his argument, in an appeal to the democratic house. When Mr. Funston finished, he went to his seat and on his way Col Harris, then a member from Kansas called to him. "Funston you have made a good case, you were no doubt elected and should be seated, but you know I am a democrat and cannot do anything for you." Mr.

Funston told him that he was sur. prised, "for," said he, "there is O' Palion of Virginia since governor, chairman of the committee on elections, who has made it report in my behalf, there is Painter of since elected to the supreme bench, another able democrat supporting me and you from my own state refusing to support my cause when you say I was cleeted and should be seated. I win surprised at you." The Colonel did not then hold to such liberal views as he does now when he is exhorting Kansas republicans to never mind party attiliation but vote for him. It makes a difference with the Colonel whose OX is "gored." NOT SURPRISED. The following story has never been in print.

At the time General Fredrick Funston was distinguishing himself by the masterly manner in which he was taking care of things at San Francisco during the terrible days of the earthquake and fire. ex-Congressman Funston, father of the General, came into the house from his his fields and throwing himself down in chair to get a little rest remarked to Mrs. Funston. "Mother, are you not surprised at Fred being able to handle things so well! at Frisco?" The proud mother giving her head a significant toss replied: "No, I am not one bit surprised. Do you remember the time old man G- the hired man had a sun-stroke in the field?" "Yes," replied Mr.

Funston. "Do you remember what you did?" "Yes, I hurried and hitched to the buggy and drove as rapidly as could to the field to bring the man to the house." "Yes," said Mrs. Funston, "that is what you did and Fred grabbed a bucket and filling it with water ran across the to the man and had him in the shadeand was pouring water on his head and had him almost revived before you got to him. Fred always does the proper thing at the right time." That putt the father to silence. He did not dare to venture any more questions as to surprises to the mother of General Frederic Funstonfor she had a memory of other days when the future hero was indicating what was in him.

The Peoples' Lobby. The new movement to establish a peoples' lobby at Washington is creating quite an interest and has aroused the machine organs all over the country. Hitherto it was not considered necessary for any but special interests to have a lobby. It was thought that the people had representatives in both the senate and house to look after their interests but it is apparent that a lobby is to be established for the purpose of giving the people an equal chance with other and special objects. The Topeka Capital pays its respects to the subject as follows: "Speaking of the proposed "People's Lobby" at Washington devised by such doggish citizens as Old Bill White, Col.

Winston Churchill, Seth Low, Robert Collier, John Mitchell, Lincoln Steffens et the Kansas City Journal thinks it worth while to give about a column of "roast" to this outfit as introducing something novel unheard of, revolutionary and demoralizing in our political economy. 'It is gratifying that the muck rakers are not to antagonize the Journal remarks, 'because a majority of the people still prefer to intrust their affairs to men they select rather than toa lot of sensational magazine reporters whose patriotic zeal is in direct ratio to the figures on their monthly "Any difference in that respect, if true, from other lobbyists? But the Journal apparently has never heard of lobbying before and it discusses the proposed "'People's Lobby" as something distinctly new. Where has it been all summer? Has it never heard of a Steel Trust lobby, a Standard Oil lobby, a Railroad lobby, an Insurance lobby? Custom and prescription gave these eminent respectability. They are the accredited representatives of our official Prosperity. The protectors and preservers of our sacred Vested Interests, against public interests, (without the capital letters).

What would the widows and orplans and innocent purchasers do but for the Vested Interest lobby? the friend, not It is said that the People's Lobby has the full approval of President Roosevelt, and indeed that he suggested it. It is a pitty there is no widow-and-orphan forming a political body around which Vested Interest could rally, for they would then have the courage to speak their true sentiments regarding the President now in the White House." It was Senator Bailey of Texas who insisted that Senator Burton of Kansas be expelled "instanter," without even so much time as the supreme court demands to decide pending issues. Mr. Bailey can now tell how it feels to be the other fellow. WILD BOY HOSE Knit to tit to liver The best known boys' hose on the market.

They Enjoyed the Trip. The Tribune is in receipt of the following from the Kansas City Automo- bile Club: Whereas, The Automobile Club of Kansas City gave their first annual Endurance run, Tuesday, 11, 1906, to Paola, Kansas, and return, and the members thought it mete and proper that they give some expression of approval of the manner in which they were received and treated by the citizens of Kansas, therefore, be it Resolved, That the members of the Kansas City Automobile Club express their sincere and heartfelt thanks to the newspapers of Olathe and Paola for their kindly notices--to the mayors, officials, and citizens of Olathe and Paola for their courteous and hospitable reception, having done everything in their power to make our members feel welcome, in fact, as they expressed it, nothing was too good for us, and last but not least, to the farmall along the road without an exception, for their universal demonstrative manner of wishing us God speed. And be it further Resolved, That the Automobile Club of Kansas City owe their friends in Kansas a debt of gratitude which they will be only too glad to repay at the first opportunity. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the mayor and newspapers of Olathe, and to the mayor, Commercial Club, and newspapers of Paola, and, if it were possible, to ery farmer along the route. THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB of Kansas City.

Somewhat Inconsistent. The Mirror is dying because it can find nothing tangible whereby it may criticise the city administration because it failed to give that paper the city printing. It flounders around in a pitiful attempt to criticise Mr. Org's splendid administration. Last week it attacked mayor and council for allowing the street fair people to use the street on the west side of the square for their entertainment.

The city was paid $75 for a permit and the company put $25 to clean the street and leave thing in as good condition as It was simply like finding that much money for the tax payers. A silly attempt to put all the responsibility on certain members of the council and the mayor was most rediculous. Mr. Townley was the only member of the council to oppose granting permission to the show people and the clerk issued the license as the ordinance provides. The rediculous and inconsistent position of the Mirror is apparent when that sheet gladly advertised the show received their money and used their liberal complimentary tickets.

Had the been sincere and honest in its criticism it would have refused to sell its advertising space and would have spurned the complimentary tickets and would have kept away from the entertainments. 'The hypocracy of the whole thing is SO apparent that the Mirror is receiving a horse laugh at its evident motive in attacking the administration. Milligan-Lorimer One of the pretty weddings for which Olathe is becoming so famous, was witnessed at the home of J. M. Milligen Wednesday evening of last week when Miss Madge Milligan was married to Mr.

Dean Lorimer. The Rev. Mr. Edgar officiated, assisted by the Rev. Mr.

Greer. There were about eighty guests present on the happy occasion, several relatives and friends from Ohio and Iowa being in attendance. On Friday evening following the wedding a reception was tendered the young people by the father of groom. Mr. J.

C. Lorimer. There were about fifty guests present to enjoy the festivities of the occasion. The Tribune extends most cordial congratulations and wishes these deservedly popular young people the enjoyment of much happiness. Dwelling house for sale.

J. P. Hindman, Agent. The Olathe Milling Company Wins. The case of the Standard Milling company of Memphis vs The Olathe Mill and Elevator company, which has besn pend ng in the district court for several years, was decided infavor of the Olathe company last week.

Mr. Hoch feels gratified over the linal conclusion. It was a warm contest and attorneys on both sides made a stubborn fight but the jury said Hoch's cause was right. To Consumptives.
