WILLIAMSON - Osage Township It is rumored that a new time eard will go into effect on the Missouri Pacific next Sunday. » bound train which ar- now at eight o’¢loek in ng will arrive between four in the afternoon, three anc The train leaving for Kansas City at 8:22 in the morning will leave about five hours earlier, or 2:30. If, as the Butler’ Commercial Club was informed Tuesday night good hard surface oil roads which will be good during the entire year, and stand up for from twelve to fifteen years, can be red to nine hundred dollars per mile, Bates county cannot afford to be with- out them, At least the proposi- tion will bear investigation, and its a safe bet that it will not be | many moons until some of our en- thusiasts will have the dope and be prepared to furnish full in for- | mation. Just as Carranza is thinking he sit all fixed up and is about to order his calling cards with; “*President of | Mexico’? nicely | engraved thereon his minister of war, General Obregon, so rumor hias if, conelndes it is a good time for him to take a staek in the game and is said to be about to insist that the U.S. recognize. him as the big noise, or take their soldiers and go home. Carranza could have consulted a prominent republican politician, of Bates county and found that a’ man could not even be elected to con- gress wearing whiskers of the vintage of 1860 much less aspire The Imperial Government has not as yet replied to President Wilson’s ultimatum on the Ger- man submarine campaign, but it is unofficially , reported that “‘concessions’’ will be made. The Kaiser seems to be one of those hard headed folks who can’t take a hint unless it comes in the shape of a brick house falling on them, and unless we are muchly mistak- en in our President. our German friends are very likely to receive just that kind of suggestion un- less his demands are complied with. ‘‘Concessions’’ are all right. It is a good word and ” sounds well, and no doubt Presi- dent Wilson will be more than willing to accept concessions if they embody the things for which he is contending. If the Kaiser is kidding himself that we are ~ about. to enter into another long series of arguments over techni- cal nothings while the great Ger- man pastime of pothunting help- less passenger boats goes merrily on, he is laboring under a great misconception, Authentic _ re- ports have it that. President Wil- son has resigned from all debat- ing societies, and a closed season has been declared on - American citizens, Mr. Wilson is not argu- ing with you now, Herr Kaiser; he’s telling you. - Metropolitan papers are ‘‘view- ing with alarm’’ the failure of certain democratic state officials who have announced their candi- .dacy for re-election or who are running for other office, to fall for their demogogie demand that these officials resign from the of- fices which they are now holding. This is the rankest sort of politi- cal piffle and is calculated only to stir up strife in the ranks of the Democratic party. Were these political organs in good faith in making this sort of demand, a golden opportunity was over- looked in 1908 when every Repub- lican office holder m, the state- house shied his hat into the ring and became a candidate for either re-election or promotion, — No word of criticism of Herbert Had- ley’s failure to resign who at this time as Attorney General made the race for Governor, John Swanger, who is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor was Secretary of State in 1908 annd made the cam- paign for re-nomination and -re- election with no hint from these newspapers that he resign, At the same time State Auditor Wilder made the race for Rail- road and Warehouse Comimission- | er, and State Treasurer Gmelich was a candidate for Lieut. Gov- ernor. A LOOK AROUND. | By Clark McAdams in Post Dispatch. The hero of the ballad who was.) all dressed up and had no place to go was no worse off than the | Republican party in this year of grace. Mr, Wilson has raided Col. Roosevelt’s establishment within the past week of the last bit of political thunder — the Colonel had under lock and key, | and the &ace in November: looks! like a farcial contest between a} four-legged fox and a three-leg- ged hound. With the Chicago convention less than two months off, the Republicans find them- selves without either man or an issue. If they mention the tariff some corporation increases the wages of its employees and adver- tises for more men, Tf they sug- gest a-leader, the country groans. It looks now as if Justice Hughes would probably run on his record as a gloom, He has not laughed in 30 years. The Republican par- ty is in exactly the humor to wel- come that sort of leadership, Its political future looks precisely ike the entrance to the Hoosae Tunnel, and with Hughes for groan leader it could probably go up against it in November with a much softer and deadlier squash than any other combination of the man and the issue could pos- sibly effect. Justice Hughes is one‘of those despiriting names ith which’a political assemblage is ily confused with an under- takers’ convention. The — mere mention of that sepulchral cogno- | men makes the Republicans — in this part of the é¢ountry howl for the soothing syrup. It is a great | mistake to say that he stands for| nothing. Te stands for a great many things, all of which are employed to keep down the levity when cemetery associations meet. With Hughes running for President on his ree- ord as a gloom, the band playing the dead march * from ‘Saul,’ and Roosevelt trying to drown himself in the horse trough at Sagamore Hill, the Republican pursuit of Wilson in the forth- coming autumn would sweep down this vale of tears as the one perfeet nocturne in our political history. more or | Medical Association Meeting Thursday of last week the Bates County Medical Association held a very inferesting meeting at the Court House. The meeting was called to order by Dr. C. J. Allen, president of the society and Dr. C. R. Woodson, of St. Josenh, president of the Missouri State Medical Association, delivered an instructive address on the differ- ent forms of -insanity and the treatment for them. Dr. Wood- son is thoroughly qualified to speak on this subject, having been for 17 years superintendent of the State hospital for the insane at St. Joseph. Select eggs for hatching uni- form in size.
