POPULAR INDIFFERENCE Great danger in Republican gov ernment results from the indiffer ence or negligence of the people. Such Indifference or negligence means lax enforcement of law, corrupt officers, rings, robbery, oppressive legislation. The people, as the fountain head of power, the final arbiter of all ques tions, the court of last resort, should be alert, interested, aggressive.

"We thought that the Fourth had been the regiment selected to be sent back to Missouri, but we were dis appointed. We will be sent to guard the border, I suppose, and relieve the Second, if we stay long enough in the South.

And besides, if we are coming home, why are we recruiting? "There were fourteen corporals and sergeants and seven privates in the squad sent for recruiting duty, and the officers took Pullmans while we came in the squad. It was up to us to sleep the best we could. When we reached Kansas City, we were given meal tickets at a cheap restaurant, and we slept in the recruiting station." Mr. Hicklin, who was married the night he left to join his company in Nevada, spent the day with his wife, who is the daughter of Mrs. J. Carver Jones, 402 College avenue.
