PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR SHOULD BECOME AN INSTITUTION The experimental nursery and play ground for children which is to be tried out at the Bates county fair this year should without doubt become an institution at all public gatherings and places of amusement. We know of nothing which will have so far reaching an effect for good which may be so practically es- tablished and maintained. The nurs- ery and playground, if plans now on foot are carried out, will allow the mother to attend and enjoy the fair, relieving her of the exhausting labor of carrying her child about through the crowds all day, and allowing her to rest secure in the knowledge that the little one is under the watchful care of a trained nurse and is not be- ing carried or dragged over the hot dusty fair grounds to the almost cer- tain detriment of its health. No one merits more care and con- sideration than a mother and_ that which will tend to relieve her of her burdens and at the same time protect the welfare of the child is indeed a worthy enterprise and should be en- couraged. FORGIVE US. Let Kansas minstrels sing their songs of that state’s horny handed throngs; but we have failed to find to date, among their songs, the one of hate that seems to fill some Kansan minds, condemning all of women kinds. Among their songs cannot be found,—outrages—on—that—‘‘sacred”’ |_ ground. Of women to the rockpile sent by judges on reforming bent, of loud indorsement of it too, by women’s clubs, to which it’s due, to state their creed, so history runs, was formed to save the fallen ones. We have not heard the songs thus far of noble Kansans armed with tar. Who in their ambush lie in wait and cher- ishing their woman hate, with war- like cries themselves they hurl, upon an unsuspecting girl and then they bravely strip her nude; this noble, manly little brood, and joyfully apply the tar, the while her escort flees afar. Oh Kansas heros, great your fame. Across the nation like a flame leap o’er the country wide and far, tales of your rockpiles and your tar. In publishing the above we hum- bly ask that our readers forgive us and we solemnly state that it shall not occur again. Our only excuse is that in commenting upon certain re- cent happenings in Kansas we uncon- sciously fell somewhat into the style of a well known Kansas bard, and failed to discover the fact until too late. Missouri with only one-third of a crop, produced more apples this year than any other state west of the Mis- sissippi river. There are 20 million apple trees in Missouri and plenty of room for billions or so more. These figures are almost attractive as the ones prepared by the orchard land agents of the arid Northwest. The The only difference is this: The Mis- souri figures are genuine and the ap- ples are not hand-painted. They’re the kind you eat.—K. C. Star. Aristocracy of Our Mule. Our imperial hybrid pricks up his ears and snorts at the remark from Beverly, Mass., that he is not good enough to pull a presidential carriage. Fancy! As if his respectability were not older than the American Republic itself! Shade of Nebuchadnezzar, the mule had saddle blisters and collar sores from swinging Kings around the circle before liberty was ever dreamt of or politics invented. His origin has been celebrated by the greatest of bards, his ancestry were ladies’ pets as far back as Cleopatra, and he is trotting nobly before the royal equipage of Andalusia today, let alone the carriages of matadors greater than monarchs. But with the initiative in the royal past it is from his referendum in the glorious Democratic present that he derives his true pride and distinction.

C.—On the tenth day of May, 1902, the government filed a petition for an injunction against the beef trust in the federal court at Chicago. On July 5th, 1911, the packers, after having obtained forty-two delays and -postponements in the intervening nine years, again pleaded not guilty, and for the forty- third time their trial was postponed, this time until November 20th of this year. The status of the beef trust prose- cution, therefore, is exactly where it was the day the first papers were filed nearly a decadeago. The much- heralded ‘‘prosecution”’ of this gigan- tic trust—a prosecution. which has been directed by one Republican at- torney general after another—has amounted to less than nothing. Every man, woman and child in the country is convinced that the trust operates in violation of the law, both statute and moral, and yet nothing has been accomplished in the alleged campaign to stop these violations ex- cept the disbursement of thousands of dollars in fees for special ‘trust busting”’ attorneys. “Big Stick’? in New Role. What the people of Arizona really have to do to obtain statehood, is 2 story that the American people have never fully heard. Information has gone out over the wires from Wash- ington that President Taft will permit Arizona to enter the union by simply striking the ‘“‘recall of the judiciary’”’ provision from its constitution. But only when these facts are con- sidered can the full significence of the President’s action be grasped: First, that the people of Arizona by a vote of three to one declared in favor of the recall. Second, that in order to obtain statehood the people of Arizona must go to the polls again and vote against a principle of government that they have already voted in favor of, and which they believe to be right. By thus coercing the people to vote against a thing which their best judg- ment tells them to be wise, threaten- ing to withhold from that people, un- less they vote as the chief exec- utive dictates, rights to which they are justly entitled under the con- stitution, President Taft has committed himself to an action which is without precedent in the history of the Amer- ican republic, The President has said to the people of Arizona, in effect: ‘‘No matter whether the majority believe that the |recall of judges is wise or not; unless that majority goes to the polls and | pretends that it is against the recall, I will deprive the people of Arizona of statehood. Yes, I will deprive the people of Arizona of statehood wheth- er they are entitled to it under the constitution or not, unless they vote, not the way they may desire, but as I command them to vote.” While this method of forcing the people may be compatible to the mental workings of an executive with a—judicial_temperament,”’—isn’t_it which they attribute the spread of many injurious diseases. Women and children suffer most from this form of greed. The medical journals are de. manding a repeal of the high duties— amounting to 100 per cent on the commoner grades of wool—recogniz- ing in these duties the source of the evil of which they complain. See Taft’s Defeat. — — President Taft has declined a chance to greatly cheapen the cost of clothing, wire, etc., and in so doing has defended what he said was inde- fensible. The president’s vetoes of the tariff bills will make it difficult for him to be renominated, and will prac- tically insure his defeat if he is re- nominated.” This is an extract from the weekly market letter of the New York Con- solidated Stock Exchange firm of W. W. Erwin and Co, It shows that the New York business interests and Wall street have concluded that Taft cannot be re-elected and are prepar- ing to throw him over. Suggestion for an Article. In the September Columbian maga- zine Senator Bristow .of Kansas tells “How the Interests Control America,” and while this is an interesting ex- posure and one that everybody should read, Senator Bristow could please a great many people by writing another article next month on ‘‘How I Blocked Direct Election of Senators by the People With an Amendment which I Knew Would Kill the Bill.” An Excuse Only. When the Standpat Republicans gave as their excuse for opposing the Underwood-La Follette revision down- ward wool bill, the fact that the tariff board had not reported, they were only bluffing. The very men whoset up that excuse bitterly opposed the creation of the tariff board in the first place, and will prove their incon-/ sisténcy again by being the first ones | to raise their voice in an attack on that board to prevent tariff reduction when Congress comes to consider it again. Forced to Leave Home. Every year a large number of poor | sufferers, whose lungs are sore and | racked with coughs, are urged to go, to another climate. But this is costly | and not always sure. There’s a bet- ter way. Let Dr. King’s New Dis- covery cure you at home. ‘“‘It cured me of lung trouble,’ writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., ‘‘when all else failed and I gained 47 pounds in weight. Its sure the king of all cough and.lung cures.’’ Thousands | owe their lives and health to it. It’s positively guaranteed for coughs, | coldf, la grippe, asthma, croup—all throat and lung troubles. 50c_ and $1.00. Trial bottle free at F. T.| Clay’s. Niece of Late Congressman Weds Army Man. Miss Mildred De Armond, a_ niece of the late Congressman De Armond, of this city, and Lieut. Joseph) L. Wier, U. S. ‘A., eloped from’ St. Louis to Springfield, Ill., Monday, Sept. 4, and were married there that day. The elopement be- came known following the return of the couple to the home of Lieut. Wier’s step-father, Robert Monroe, at East St. Louis, Wednesday morning. A dispatch from Springfield shows after all making a farce out of repre- sentative government? President Makes Another Mistake. It is difficult to see how President Taft’s 13,000 mile swing around the circle can end in anything but a sorry spectacle for himself. If he tells the people the truth about how he vetoed the honest attempt of both branches of Congress to reduce the high cost of living in this country; how upon taking office he filled his cabinet with men connected with the law breaking trusts, and how he tried and nearly succeeded in giving Alaska away to the land grabbers, he will discredit himself. If Mr. Taft juggles the facts in the slightest degree, the Insurgents, “swinging along in his trail,’’ will point out his misrepresentations with such truth and logic that the Presi- dent will be more discredited than if he had remained at home. The record of the Taft administra- tion is one that cannot be debated with any credit to the President. Mr. Taft has himself to blame, together with men like Aldrich, Penrose, Guggen- heim and Lodge, to whose advice he listened exclusively. Shoddy Woolens. Miss De Armond, in anattempt to hide | her identity, gave the name of ‘‘Miss Mildred Compston of Savannah, Ga.,”’ when she and the Lieutenant applied for a marriage license. The romance which resulted in the runaway match is said to have begun when Miss De Armond saw Wier play left-guard on the United States Mili- tary Academy football team at West Point. Not a Word of Scandal marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P. Spangh, of Manville, Wyo., who said: ‘‘She told me Dr. King’s New Life Pills had cured her of obsi- nate kidney trouble, and made her feel like a new woman.”’ Easy but sure remedy for stomach, liver_and kidney troubles.

Do False Teeth Cancel Taxes? | New Britain, Conn., Sept. 10.—| Whether a man with false teeth is ex- | empt from paying poll and commuta- tion taxes is a question that will be) decided by the Connecticut courts this winter, having been brought up by a claim of exemption filed by a New Britain farmer. | According to a curious law which has been on the statute books since the Civil war, a man with false teeth is not liable to military duty, and under that statute the farmer claims exemp- tion from the personal tax,” which is levied in lieu of military service. If exemption on that head is upheld by the local authorities there are thous- ands in the State who will escape pay- ing personal taxes. close margin to turn them quickly. $1.20 per bushel, nothing less than 1 sack sold.
