-
Taft would seem physically able, at
least, of wielding the "big stick."
Samuel Gompers, head of the nation
al federation of labor unions, has pledged
his support to democracy.
If practice wakes perfect, Bryan
skould be better than ever this time;
he is used to running for president.
Bryan is elated over the fact that a
democrat was elected mayor over a
Taft republican in Walla Walla, Wash.
Truly a "far cry to a foreign land."
Collier's Weekly speaking editorially
says that no matter which of the presi
dential nominees is successful, Roose
velt will remain the popular idol of the
people.
It has been a long time since there
was as much evidence of intoxication
on the streets of our town as there is
at present. This "two percent" is
frightful stuff!
Jones and Wells are waging a warm
'campaign in the senatorial contest.
People in this vicinity generally, feel
indebted to Dr. Jones for the good
work he did in assisting us in the legis
lature at the time the Normal appro
priation bill was passed.
"Long grilled White" some of the
state dailies said, and forced him to
back down on some three charges made
against the senator's record; but the
people of Kansas know White pretty
well and just what he stands for and
"your uncle William is pretty much
the 'Teddy Roosevelt' of Kansas."
Long gave it to White good and
plenty at Emporia and has been rubbing
it in ever since by scattering broad
cast over the state, his speech in pam
phlet form. White is not an orator
and cannot face. an audience and make
the Impression that Long can, but he
has enlisted the services of a better
man than Long in this respect in the
person of one, "Bob" Lafollette of
Wisconsin; a man who knows every
nook and cranny of Long's record at
Washington and who is capable of
doing unto Long as Long did unto
White and then some, and it is a safe
prediction that the fur will fly when he
makes his Chautauqua address in Em
poria the first of August.
The venerable Mr. Depew continues
to discourse fluently of his system of
diet, which, he confidently asserts, will
enable him to reach the age of a hun
dred years. Wu Ting Fang, the Chi
nese embassador, who is quiet as per
sistent in the advertising departmeat,
has improved upon the Depew biU of
fare, and gives official warning that he
will live until he is two hundred years
old, unless a church falls on him or
some other accident befalls him.
Sundry more or less tiresome people
are talking a great deal what they eat,
and how they eat it, and how long they
intend to live; and they will probably
live aa long as they plan to, for the
good die young and the bores endure
forever.
No sane man would want to live two
hundred years, or a hundred years and
it is. impossible to imagine a greater
national calamity than to have Chaun
cey and Wt "in our midst" for several
decades. The longer they live the
more they will think and talk of noth
ing but their appetites, and their di
gestion; and they will start correspond
ence schools, and give instructions by
mail as to how best to pick one's teeth;
and they will dwell forever upon the
sordid, animal affairs of eating and
drinking, which should be mentioned
enly incidently.
When old men can find nothing more
uplifting to discourse, of than their
stomachs and their alimentary canals,
they should not be encouraged to be
Ilave that they are going to live longer

Gov. Johnston of Minnesota spoke at
the Salina Chautauqua last Tuesday.
Lindsborg people are treated to band
concerts once a week. My, Wish Hays
had a band!
The Gove County Republican Gazette
is all excited over the fact that a Gove
county man may De a part neir to a
ninety million dollar estate.
Up near Bellville a farmer sold 300
bushels of corn last week at 73 cents.
The Freeman remarks that this is al
most as much as wheat is worth.
The United States has the best marks
men in the world. A company of the
crack-shots of our army won the world's
championship medal in a contest recent
ly held in England.
Up at Hays they claim to have a man
who is not only a spell-binder in German
but can throw English with the same
ease that a bank clerk can juggle a roll
of bills. Salina Journal.
A new era of prosperity is dawning
upon Sharon Springs. The Western
Times of that place tells of a new
round-house being built there by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company.
We have the privilege this week of
"clipping" our old friend the Kanapolis
Journal. It has been a year since the
writer has read this paper and in that
space of time we note marked improve
ment. Bryan announces to the country that
he will forego his second term as presi
dent, and not to be out-done in the
matter of self-denial the country will
graciously decide also to forego his first
term. Marion Record.
The man who advertises during the
dull season of the year, is the one who
is going to reap the benefits when the
rush comes on a little later in the sea
son. You have to keep shoveling in coal
all the time to keep the steam up. Ex
The Colby Free Press is an active
democratic organ in the western portion
of the state that doesn't think that
Long and Bristow or Reader and Ham
have it to fight out between themselves
they call attention to the fact that the
democrats have more than a fighting
chance.
Russell Springs sustained its first fire
since the founding of the town in '86
two weeks ago to-day. The editor of
the Leader discovered the fire and
awoke the town in order to save the
surrounding property. Moral: If you're
not a fire fighter, don't try to edit a
paper in a western town.
Diek Finch sold his 30 acre farm to
A. W. Lamb of Codell, for a consider
ation of $3300. This place is known
as the Robinson place is first class land
and well improved. $110 an acre is
pretty good price for land in this part
of Kansas. Dick will stay here for about
sixty days to collect up some notes and
back accounts and will then join his wife
at Boise, Idaho. Plainville Gazette.
A new use for the telephone was found
near Mulvane this week. Two ladies
drove out in the country after blackber
ries and were tying the horse when the
animal became frightened and started
for home on the dead run. The folks
ran te the house and telephoned the
neighbors to run out and stop, the horse,
which they did. The horse is probably
wondering how they knew he was com
ing. Wichita Beacon.

the Hoxie girls play basket ball at Mor

he gives them : 'After the tennis game

We would call the Hill City editor's
attention to the fact that the Normal
has a girls' team of basket ball players
who have a brilliant record. Here's
their chance to win four bushels of
tomato seed.
A democratic national committeeman
has said that "he could feel it in the
air" that Bryan will be elected. Phv-
