Casey, cashier of the defunct Salmon & Salmon bank, wasarrested charged with the forgery of two notes fora total of $9,900, The charge was preferred by William M. Stevens, a real estate dealer, unt!! recently a member of the firm of Wallace & Stevens. It is alleged that to one note for $6,400 the name of Wallace & Stevens wae forged, and to the other, for $3,500, Stevens’ name was written. Caasey was tuo ill to be moved from his home and a deputy sheriff is guarding him there. The two notes, {t is alleged, were drawn on the Salmon & Salmon bank and were deposited by Casey with the Kansas City State bank of Kansas City as part security for money lent the bank here.

They should profitby the lessons of the last campaiga and look fora man able to conduct the campaign and not éelect ome who seeke the place for his own selfish pur- poses or to promote factional ends. Candidates are thus early begin- ning to swarm in the Sixth Missouri district with an eye to the Demo- cratic congressional nomination. Prominent among those mentioned are Senator jickinson of Henry, Wallace Crossiey, James Suddeth and Chas Morrow of Johnson, ab'e John Lucas of St. Clair, and Judge Jarrott of Cass. It is supposed that “Congreeeman DeArmond, who has represented the district for so many terms, will be a candidate to aucceed nimeelf. The stir that has thusearly been started promises a hot fight for the congressional nomination ia that district.—Nevada Mail. TS The Bates County Democratie Cen- tral Committee has been called to meetin this city July 1st. Nowthen Tae Burien Times has an opportu- uity to capture the chairmanship, but it should insist on a quorum of the membership being present.—Freo Press. Tue Times does not desire nor has St any use for the chairmanship of the central committee. For more than a quarter of a century we have insisted that the committee should be used for party benefit and not for individual preferment. For several years designing politicians have at- tempted to use the chairmanship for legislature. A law passed in 1899 gives each State Senator and each Representative, power to appoint cadets from his senatorial district or }county. Boys thus appointed are 2 | matriculated in the Academic, En- gineering and Agricultural depart- | ments of the University free of tuition and entrances fees. The State fur- | Dishes them good uniforms, The | total value of each appointment is more than $20, which is quite an aid to any student. Candidates for ap- pointment must be graduates of a four year high avhool, academy or college. Representative Church of this county and Senator Dickinson | of thia district have appointments to | inake. UNDER BRYAN’S LEADERSHIP. Speaking editorially of the recent remarks of Mr. Bryan at Muskogee, the Globe-Democrat says: “What Mr. Bryan says aboutthe triumph of radical Democracy in the convention of his party three years hence, has been prophesied by 80 many other eminent Democrats that the country expects it. All the indications point to the triumph of that brand of Democracy in the convention. ‘The Cleveland and Parker element of the party has been 6o thoroughly beaten and dis- credited that it will have no {nflu- ence three years hence. Itwillhave no standing in the convention either on the platform committee or else- where. The overwhelming repudia- tion which it received at the polle last November has put it out of all chance of receiving any quarter by the men who shape the party’s platform, put up ite tickets and fight ite battles. “Everything that Mr. Bryansays about Democratic plans tor 1908 is entitled to the attention of Dem- ocrate and Republicans. He is the most powerful personage in ti Democratic party in 1905. At the St. Louis convention of 1904 he was a commanding figure. The sordid and the vuglar stamp of politics represented by Hill, Bel- mont, Murphy and Cockran was lien toeverything for which Bryan stood. Bryan fought Parker and the things which Parker typified in the convention, and though he was defeated in that body he was over- whelmingly vindicated at the polls. Undoubtedly he is correct in say- ‘ing that the radical Democracy will runthepartyin 1908. Something, as he declares, will be borrowed from Socialist and Populist policy. But} fj will that give the Democracy the png a it will not. It is entirely safe to predict, however, that under the Teederahi which the Democrac; Be Proud of Your Work. The editor of the Earth wants farmers to hold up their heads in pride of their calling. He says: “Don’t regret that you are a farm- er, and be proud of the land that you has suffered thereby. The time has come when the very best man the party affords should be placed atthe head of the committee, and heshould accept that responsible position with the determination to devote sufficient timeand attention to thoroughly or- ganize and have the committee into a well-equipped fighting machine when the cumpaign opens nex GOOD THINGS ix ‘Tue You will find them at Thomas M.
