KERENS OR NEIDRINGHAUS. The Tue Tiwes made the state- ment during the heat of the cam paign that the defeat of Frank Cock rell meant R. C. Kerens, the railroad magnate, for the United States Sen- atorship. This was vigorously de- nied by the Republican papers in this county. Cockrell’s defeat is assured and we have no reason to change our opinion in the matter. The fight has narrowed down to Mr Neidringhouee, ex-congressman from St. Louis and late chairman of the Republican state committe, and Mr Kerens. Mr. Neidringhous’s friends claim that he as won the office by successful conuact of the campaign. This of course is a very narrow view to take, that tue United States Sen- atorship can beearned and should go as a reward for shrewd wire pulling andthe proper manipulation of a campaign to insure success. But it 1s pretty certain that such an argu ment will be very potent with the newly elected representatives who thus unexpectedly found themselves elevated to office, But Kerens, it appears, has something of a similar nature ‘up his sleeve. Itissaid that he gent convenient checks to nom inces for the general assembly, the amount ranging from $50 to $500 according to the chances he was tak ng. The receivers of these personal checks of Mr. Kerens will find it a little bit embarrassing to cast their vote against him in caucus, when the question of selecting a United States Senator comes up. Mr. Walbridge makes a pleator Mr. Neidringhous and says that gentleman made a great personal sacrifice at his re- quest and for his benefit in accepting the chairmship and conducting the campaign, Then the question arises it Mr. Neidringhaus made the special effort for Mr. Walbribge who was de feated by 30,000 votes, what special claims can he urge upon those rep: resentatives who slipped in by the assistance of Kerens’ substantial checks. It isa merry fight, and will prove very amusing to Democrats, whose chief regrets will be that either of these wire pulling politicians will succeed that grand old statesman and patriot Fra ‘es M. Cockrell. ——_]]_NNS Tue Kansas City Star editorally gays: “The defeat of Judge Henry C. Timmonds,candidate for the Kan- gas City Court of Appeals and of Judge Waller W. Graves, >andidate to succeed himself on the Circuit bench, was a twin misfortune when it ia remembered that each of these uriats had presided at the trial of a legislative boodler and each had won nonpartisan—or bipartisan— commendation for the fairness and strength of his rulings. This regret can beexpressed without reflection upon the successful Republican can- ment. didates whose especial qualifications are yet untried and may devel p. qualities to compensate for the re- tirement of their Democratic oppon- ents. It may besaid further that Judge Graves and Judge Timmonds were only the victims of the land- slide for President Roosevelt and that thir records in the boodle trials would have brought thousands of voters to their support had it ap- directly to W. O Atkeson, who ap pears to be the brains of that establishment, iu a crisis when that article is needed. The credit that Mr. Funk can claim in his party’s success is very meager indeed, and he shouldn’s lose his head. For his tenefit we wil add that from a social and business standpoint, the great majority of Republicans of Bates county are our friends and patrons, a mutual reapect having been established from long arsocia- tions, and it remains for this little two by-four importation to attempt to inject personal feelings into political discussions. He is the only man who ever attempted to run a vewspaper in Butler, small enough to try to use politics againat a busi- ness competitor, He goes farther and tries to prevent his competitors from getting business thati © .virely out of bis reach and io wich bis only interestis thedog-in-the manger feeling.

Proverbs “When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn,” is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs, Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and’ thin children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat- We will send you the penny, Le, a sample free. the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy, SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.
