Harper's Weekly, | “Our Husband ” HE editor of the Emporia Times is Mrs. Mary McCreary Parkman. She isa loyal Democrat, and has served two terms as county superintendent, elected by her party, or parties, as the case may be. Her husband is Harrison Parkman, Republican county surveyor, and candidate for renomination. It is one of the rules of the Times office that Mr. Parkman's name shall not appear in the paper. When a news item requires mention of him, he ap- pears as “the county surveyor.” This policy of blacklisting her husband has caused some comment in the town, and, in her own defense, Mrs. Parkman is authorized to print the following editorial: “We have been asked frequently why we keep our husband on the blacklist in the Emporia Times. Now, ordinarily, what we do with our husband is our own business. And it would scem in all fairness that if we put up with this man morning, noon and night we shouldn't have to be putting him in the paper all the time. We and our husband, like all married people, have our agreements and our dis- agreements. We agree on literature, religion, art, the nebular hypothesis, the proper method of poking the fire, the value of breakfast food as a brain builder, paving, municipal ownership, and the facts in the Gunness case. But we disagree on politics. We think our husband has a good deal of sense—for a mere man—on lots of subjects; but on politics, he doesn't know much, He is a Republican—a black Republican, a mean black Republican, and as such has no claims on us either as a molder of ,public opinion, a fellow-citizen, or asa wife. We will ook for our husband; we will mend our husband’s cloth- ing; we will darn and brush him, and keep him up— as our husband. But as an officeholder of a vile, venal and corrupt organization, an emissary of Wall Street and as an oppressor of the poor, our husband has only our unspeakable contempt. He should thank his lucky stars that we do keep his name out of the Times. We know enough of our husband, should he’ attempt to press this matter too far, to make his vote in this lection little more than scat- tering. But up to the present we have said nothing. We have believed that our duty as a wife had some claims on our duty as an editor. But a word to the wise should be sufficient, and if our husband has learned a lick of sense from past experiences with us, he will take a grand immortal tumble to himself and call off his dogs. This newspaper is a free and untrammeled organ of special privileges to none and equal rights to all, and if our husband thinks he belongs to the privileged classes he is mighty badly fooled. “We think a good bit of our busband, first and last, and in one way and another, but we will per- mit of no foolishness from this Republican county surveyor. He is a bad lot and we withhold certain matters in this affair, on account of the respectability of the parties concerned.” —Em poria Gazette. His Finest Act < OW was your speech received at the club?” asked one of Chumley’s friends. “Why, they congratulated me very heartily. In fact, one of the members came to me and told me | that when I sat down he had said to himself it was the best thing I had ever done.”—Youth's Companion.
