The Count Is Slow and Returns Come Late. With conflicting claims in a dozen close counties, the Stubbs-Curtis sen atorial fight becomes the more mys terious and puzzling as the count pro gresses. At the progressive headquar ters, taouiatea reiuiua vc c.. ceived indicating the results in 89 leg islative districts. Of this number, 51 districts are claimed for Stubbs and 38 are conceded for Curtis. At the .Curtis headquarters, nearly 70 votes ere now claimed for Curtis and on the ultimate results, Curtis claims 92 of the 165 legislative districts and con cedes 73 to Stubbs. Not until the tab ulated returns are received from all the counties in the state will the re sult of the senatorial fight be known. Returns came slowly to the head ouarters today and in numerous coun ties both the Stubbs and Curtis forces claimed a victory. The progressives e a rn Osage for Stubbs, while Curtis la advised that he has a majority of 150. Dickinson county, which indi cated a Stubbs victory this morning, is now in the doubtful column and returns from 16 of the 36 precincts give Curtis 522 and Stubbs 487. Chase is claimed by both sides, as is also Elk. Greeley, Kiowa and Barton. This afternoon the Stubbs forces stili held to Bourbon county and its two and one-half votes, although Curtis is leading in the county by 200, with several precincts to report. While Curtis concedes the loss oi Wvandotte and Sedgwick, he is confi dent he has saved one legislative dis trict in each of the counties. Finney county is expei.-i.-u s", column, although Curtis left Garden City 20 votes in the lead. Reports from Cowley county sent to the Bull Moose headquarters state that Stubbs is ltadlng 2 to 1, while Curtis has been advised that he has carried the county. Jackson county was the first ter ritory to bring gloom to the progress ives. Last night Holton reported a big lead for Curtis and two hours later came the assurance that Stubbs had lost the county. In Douglas county, the home of Governor Stubbs. reports indicate that the vote will be close. Curtis made a close fight in Lawrence, carry ing three wards, hut losing the coun ty, according to Cprtis returns. From Independence today came a telephone message from Tom Wagstaff in which he asserted that Curtis had carried every legislative district in the Third congressional district. This re port s not accepted generally and Cur tis himself concedes defeat in Wilson county and the Stubbs forces claim Elk. Ou. in the short grass district, the small counties rolled up big majorities foi Stubbs. Scott reported 5 to 1 for the governor. Meade about the same proportion, with Barton and Stevens a short distance behind. In the First and Third; districts and even in the Second and Fourth, the news was different. Curtis claims everything in tlie First except Nemaha, all of the ThirJ except Wilson and Elk, and files on all the territory in Allen. Bourbon, Johnson and Miami in the Second. In the Eighth. Butler is said to have jumped into the Curtis column alongside a big vote for Bun Adams for congress. In the Fourth. Curtis claims Osage. Woodson. Chase, Marion and Greenwood, the home of Congressman Jackson. The big counties in the Stubbs col umn are Wyandotte and Sedgwick each with four legislative votes. On the other hand Curtis is conceded Shawnee, with four votes; Leaven worth with three; Atchison with two and a half votes and the other one half gained by carrying Jackson. Montgomery gives Curtis three votes. Labette, two and a half and Bourbon, claimed by Curtis, has two and a half votes. Douglas, the home of Governor Stubbs, is good for two and a haif votes, unless the fraction is lost in the ultimate count with Jefferson, which i? in the senatorial district with Doug las. Saline, the home of Bristow, gives Stubbs two full votes: and Reno, coupled with Pratt in the Stubbs col umn, is equal to a combined strength of four votes. The big surprise of the primaries was the distance between the votes of the Roosevelt electoral candidates and the vote polled by Governor Stubbs in his senatorial race. Arthur Capper also far outdistanced the Kansas ex ecutive and the Stubba nomination i clearly in doubt; in fact, there is a! strong probability that he may be de- f 3 Dan Anthony Renominated for Con gress first District. feated. Returns received today at the .Hull Moose headquarters from the once strong Stubbs counties indicate that the Kansas governor has lost strength in many of these counties. out with returns from country pre cincts in nearly all of these counties yet to be received, the Stubbs hope is nign ana it is believed that he will win in the final count. It was on the Democratic vote for governor that one of the biggest sur prises of the election hit the state. Returns from most of the larger cities in the- state indicate that Mayor Bil lard is leading in the race for the gubernatorial nomination and has re ceived majorities in several of the counties outside of the congested dis tricts. Reports from Cloud county last night stated that he had carried that county and Rush county also re ported a majority for the Topeka mayor. From Pittsburg. Leavenworth, Atchison. Kansas City Kansas, and in the wards of Topeka, the news of the Billard strength was a surprise. Claims by bounties. Senatorial claims by counties: KUK STUBBS. FOR CURTIS. Wyandotte, Clc.d, Saline.

John Johnson was given a majority for representative and Matt Edmonds got a big vote. Ryan beat Capper by a slight majority and Bil lard got more votes .n the Democratic side than both other candidates. Curtis Leads in Republic County. Belleville, Kan.. Aug. 7. Eleven precincts in Republic county give Curtis 32 4, Stubbs 274. Dawson and Payne are running close to Curtis. Curtis carried all three wards 'n Belleville and half of the Taft elec tors carried two wards. Roosevelt electors will carry the county by a small majority. Capper is far in the lead of Ryan.

Returns at the progressive head ouarters shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon, put Gove and Hodgman counties strong in the Stubbs column. The vote from Marion county was also received and the home of Ed Hoch switched to the governor. The Mar ion county vote was, Stubbs. 721; Cur tis, 689. Decatur for Stubbs. Oberhn. Kan.. Aug. 7. By a vote of 264 to 226, Stubbs carried Decatur county in Tuesday's primaries. All of the Roosevelt electoral candidates received majorities. Curtis Carries. Washington. Washington. Kan., Aug. 7.

From re ports received here over Dickinson county today it is apparent that Curtis has, defeated Stubbs by a 2 to 1 vote. At the last count Curtis was well in the lead of the Kansas governor and most of the country precincts had returned their count. Capper received three votes to Ryan's one all through this county. In a few strongholds at Abilene and Herington, Ryan showed a spurt of strength. The Democratic votes have not been counted completely.

CAPPER'S VICTORY Topeka Editor Showed Great Strength in Every County. His Majority 3Iay Mount as High as 40,000. From almost every county in the state, the primary returns indicate that Arthur Capper in his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination, has made a runaway race and will probably show 40,000 plurality over Frank Ryan, his opponent. Capper's strength was as wide as the borders of the state and the vote which thj Topekan polled was practically equal to that given the Roosevelt electoral candidates. Early returns last night indicated that ihe fight for the Republican nom ination for governor was to be a one sided affair. As the hours passed and the return began to accumulate in the various party headquarters, the Capper majority grew. In every county he out stripped Stubbs and in many cf the counties, he led the fight for the tall vote. Out in the short grass territory, Capper'a majorities were reported in many counties as five and ten to one. Just how large the Capper majority will attain, is a matter of mere spec ulation. At the progressive headquart ers today all effort to tabulate the To pekan's vote was abandoned and the work was confined entirely to a care ful watch of the senatorial situation. It is probable that Capper has car ried at least 100 of the 105 counties in Kansas. His majority in almost all of these counties is large and in many localities represented practically the party vote. Smaller counties which polled 800 to 1,000 Republican votes in Tuesday's primaries reported the Cap per majority at 200 to 400 over Ryan. In the larger counties the proportion was not so large, although there was no uncertainty as to the majorities ex cept in a few of the larger counties. IN FIRST DISTRICT. Anthony Has Carried It by Small Majority. Doniphan Stuart leads by 35 votes. Anthony claims it. Atchison Anthony's majority 150. Jefferson Anthony's majority 50. Jackson Stuart leading 20. Brown Stuart leading 60. Nemaha Stuart's majority 400. Leavenworth Anthony's majority 1,600. Shawnee Anthony's majority 600. In the First district Anthony seems to be tlie nominee over Judge Stuart who is reported early today to have made a disappointing race in his judi cial district. The above figures are given out as the present standing of the candidates. In the Second Brady is nominated, !t is reported, against Crider. In the Seventh the returns are yet too incomplete to warrant a declara tion. The Finley strongholds have not been heard from. Hopkins carried Reno over Finley by 200-. Hopkins men claim his nomination. The renomination of Campbell is claimed in the Third by his friends and campaign managers. "Victor Murdock was nominated over J. B. Adams of El Dorado. closeTnharveYgo. Newton, Kan., Aug. 7. Stubbs car ried the county by a 60 vote majority over Curtis, with three precincts to be heard from. The Roosevelt elec tors were named by a two to one vote and Capper led them. Half the usual vote was cast by the Republicans. The Democratic vote here was light. Hodges is believed to have carried the county.- Farrelly is leading in the senatorial race. Murdock's majority in the coun ty is 500 NIPPS HAS WON. With two precincts to hear from, Nipps now has a lead of 121 over O'Neil for county commissioner, sec ond district. Nipps has a total of 1,507, O'Neil 936. The two precincts still out are the fourth of the Third and the fourth of the Fourth. t f .y;;.',.,. n J..f SHAWNET 1V0TE State Journal Table Has 44 Out Out of 49 Precincts.

He Claims 75 Districts Eight Short of Nomination 34 in Doubt. With 34 of the 165 legislative dis tricts still in doubt, Senator Curtis at 3 o'clock this afternoon claimed 75 districts or eight short of a positive nomination. He declared that these would be gained in the counties yet to report and that he would control 92 districts. Curtis declared that he had positive information that he has carried 21 of the 4 0 senatorial districts and that five of the districts are yet uncertain. Of the 125 legislative districts, Cur tis claims 54 and places 29 in doubt. He places his popular majority in The state at 10,000 and vows that his re ports on the election situation can not be contradicted in the ultimate re turns. "The list from the Bull Moose head quarters is either not complete, or my strength is not shown," declared Sen ator Curtis this afternoon. "They do not give me Allen, Leavenworth, Brown, Bourbon, Cherokee, Crawford, Decatur, Doniphan, Elk, Ellsworth, Finney, Hamilton, Haskell, Marshall, Miami, Montgomery, Morton, Neosho, Osage, Republic, Smith. Wabaunsee or Wichita counties. Now, I have abso lute and reliable reports that I have carried these counties. I have 21 of the 40 senatorial districts, with five in doubt and I have 54 of the 125 legisla tive districts with 29 in doubt. That leaves me eight short of a nomination and I am confident I have won and will have 92 districts." In the progressive report, Curtis is given Marion county. It is not claim ed on the Curtis list. Should he re ceive this county, it will increase his figures to 76 districts. Stubbs Claims Nomination. The Stubbs headquarters claim a majority of legislative districts sure. Stubbs managers dispute a dozen counties claimed by Curtis. STUBBS' LEAD SMALL. Capper Leads Ryan in Sedgwick Thompson Leads Farrelly. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 7.

Eun Strong in Nearly Erery County in State. Robert M. Armstrong: B. F. Blaker Samuel A. Davis lorsey Green J. A. Lister Ii. A. Iillspaush Robert Postlewaite E. S. Rule John Stewart Charles II. Browne These are the men nominated for places on the Republican ballot of next fall as the presidential electors of that party. It is almost a clean sweep for the Roosevelt forces in the state, as nine of the candidates pre sented by them were successful. Of course, there is nothing like a com plete count as yet, of the primary bal lots in scarcely any section of the state. Or, at least, returns from the counts have not been made. But the returns that have been made indicate unquestionably the choice of these electors by large majorities. There is still the suit pending be fore the- United States supreme court which questions the rights of the Roosevelt electors to a place on the regular Republican ballot because' of their avowed determination to cast their votes for Mr. Roosevelt in the electoral college if they get there. But there are not many who believe that the supreme court will assume juris diction in the case. The state supreme court refused to do so on the ground that the matter was purely a politi cal dispute beyond the control of any existing laws. And it is likely that the nation's supreme court will take a similar position. If this Is done, and unless some other move is made Ty the Taft forces in the state, and the Republican party is successful in the state next fall, it means that surely eight and possibly nine of the electors nominated yester day will vote in th electoral college for Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Blaker, who was named origin ally as a Roosevelt elector, has since let it be known that he is of a mina to support the Republican presidential nominee. Mr. Taft, regardless of his first stand. But the Roosevelt leaders in the state are sanguine that they can get Mr. Blaker to reconsider his latest determination in the premises. Mr. Charles E. Browne, the other elector chosen yesterday, has always been lined up for the support of the regular Republican 1 ominee. DAWSON HAS WON. Returns Received Today Indicate His Renomination. Returns from 23 counties in Kan sas give John S. Dawson majori'ies in all except one for attorney general over Samuel Griffin, the Progressive candidate. Dawson is certain that his nomination is assured. News received by Dawson today from Smith, Jewell, Lincoln, Mitchell and Phillips; all give the present at torney general a majority. Tn Neosho county, Dawson won by 100, while in Shawnee he ran two to one against Griffin. From Ottawa comes news that Dawson has a big lead, while in Great Bend and Barton county, he received practically the en tire Republican vote oast in Tuesday's primaries. Telegrams today from Emporia. El Dorado, Manhattan. Westmoreland, Marysville. Hutchinson, Dodge City, Garden City, Meriden. Lakin, Newton and Erie were to effect that Dawson was leading in the ttorney general race. News from 16 of the 25 precincts In Saline county, the home of Senator Bristow, gives Griffin a slight majori ty, with indication that Dawson will secure an almost even break in the final count. Rice county reported to day that Dawson had won there and that the remainder of the progressive ticket received majorities. HIS NEIGHBORS FOR HIM Billard's First Ward Vote Is About All He Could Expect. This is what they did for Billard In his home ward the First: Billard. .349 Jackson 2 Hodges 16 The Democratic vote In Topeka was surprisingly light, considering the prominence of the home candidate, but Billard got about all the votes to be bad. f -.-f SWAYZE ARE 1 1 f Hugh McFarland for Probate Judge. LOOK LIKE BILLARD He Has Held Lead All Morning for Governor. Hodges Men, However, Claim to Have Won. J. B. Billard, Topeka's Democratic candidate for the nomination for gov ernor, has held the lead over George H. Hodges of Olathe, since the re turns began coming in this morning:. Everyone but the Hodges men de clare "It looks like Billard." The Hodges men are far from giv ing up, however, pointing to the fact that the men have changed places haif a dozen times since the counting of the votes began. The only thing certain about it is that the race is surprisingly close o the Hodges people. Billard men still maintain their confidence and are happy over the lead being secured by their candidate. One of the surprising features is the race Billard is running in the so-called country counties where it was confi dently expected that Hodges or Jack son would run strong. In Nemaha countv Billard carried. In Potta watomie he was reported to have a majority of 50 votes. In the big coun ties such as Shawnee, Atchison, Mont gomery, Leavenworth and Crawford he is running as well as he claimed ne would. It will probably be several days be fore the Democrats know who they have nominated for governor and Uni ted States senator. On account of the tangle in the presidential electors on the Republican ticket the Democrat ballots were counted last in nearly ev ery case. In many cases the judges did not begin to count them until today. Such was the case in Wyandotte and other counties. In Wyandotte at noon today the counting was on full blast and Billard was leading with 900 votes more than both his opponents. Here are a few counties which the Billard forces depend upon to win for the mayor and the majority by which he hopes to win them: Wyandotte 1.500. Shawnee 1,750. Leavenworth 1,000. Crawford 1,500. Cherokee 1,500. Montgomery 500. Billard carried Clay county by 150. In Atchison there are 1.000 votes and Billard got 800 of them. Wabaunsee is reported to have given Billard a nice majority. Montgomery county gave him a majority of 500. Both Billard and Hodges men are confident and claiming victory. Neither will concede anything to the other. Jackson appears to have made his best race in Wichita where, it is reported, he received a 3 to 1 majority. Some Billard Figures. With reports of tremendous major ities in practically all of the larger towi f. in Kansa.s. the chances for the nomination of J. B. Billard as the Democratic nominee for governor, seemed to increase today as returns came to Topeka. Kansas City this af ternoon reported Billard strong and Leavenworth gave the Topeka mayor nearly 1.200 majority over Hodges. Reports from Leavenworth were received this afternoon by Henry Al bach, Billard's campaign manager. In Leavenworth city, Billard received 1,264 votes; George H. Hodges, 71; and A. M. Jackson, 10. From Kansas City, Kan., came the report that on the Democratic vote counted to date, Billard was leading both Hodges and Jackson by 990. News received at the Billard headquarters from Montgom ery county, indicate that the Topekan will have 300 to 400 majority ther. while a telegram from Pittsburg says Billard is running 2 to 1 on the Dem ocratic count, but gives no figures. In Atchison county about 1.000 Demo cratic votes were polled. Of this number, Billard supporters claim more than 800. Nemaha county today reported that the Topeka mayor had carried the county by 50. "These majorities, together with the showing in Shawnee, indicates they can not catch us," said Albach. "We will carry a number of western coun ties and the Democratic vote in the state is not big enough to catch us in the Hodges strongholds. I am not in a position to give figures at this time, but believe that Billard hag been nominated." It Is "BUlard's Town. Complete returns from 15 city pre cincts give Jackson 43, Billard 1.560, Hodges 138.. It was generally suspected that Billard would carry Topeka on the Democratic ticket. FOR CURTIS AND T. R. Homo of John Dawson 2 to 1 Against StubbA. Hill City, Kan., Aug. 7. Hill City gives Curtis a majority of 2 to 1 over Stubbs. Almost complete returns in dicate that Curtis has carried the county. The Roosevelt electors win by a small margin. m DATED McFarland Third High Man in County Race. Capper Beats Ryan Here by 2 to 1 at Least.

MacFarland has defeatM Schoch, Swayze Is far ahead of Zim merman, Bower has a big lead over Thomas anj Shimer seems reasonably sure of renomination. The fight for the nomination for county commissioner in the city district is very close between O'Neil and Nipps, and probably will re quire an official canvass to determine tha result. Nipps, however, is leading, and his friends are claiming his nomi nation. C. G. Blakely undoubtedly has been nominated for representative from the city district, and Fred Voiland is the nominee for representative from the North Side. The race for state senator, however, still is in doubt, the fight be ing between N. B. Burge and James A. Troutman. The latter is ahea-1, but his lead is so narrow that it may be cut to nothing, and an official canvass in that fight might result in the nomination tf either. Robert D. Garver is nominated for judge of the county court by an over whelming majority against S. S. Urmy, his opponent- He has no opposition at the election, so his nomination in sures his re-election. Disaster for "Old Timers." It seemed to a clear case of "clean out the old timers" for the voter. yesterday showed no mercy for those who applied for third or fourth terms. Zimmerman, candidate for a fourth term; Aorton. candidate for a third term; Schoch, asking for a fourth term, and Thomas, who was asking for a fourth term, all went down before an avalanche of ballots. Against some of tnese omcers very little was urged ex cept the multiplicity of terms, and that seemed to be enough. It is a fact that not a man who was asking for more than a second term, who had any opposition, succeeded in being renomi nated. Eby, running for a fourth term, had no opposition. Neither did Judge Dana in the First division of the district court. A three cornered fight for the nomi nation for marshal of the county court probably resulted in the nomina tion of Frost, who was decidedly ahead of his opponents. Ba'rtel prob ably is nominated for clerk of 1h county court, but his opponent, Alli son, made a close race according to late returns. In the Democratic primary the re sult was an overwhelming victory for Mayor J. B. Billard in thia county. The vote stood more than 8 to 1 for the mayor against both opponents, and more than 10 to 1 over his nearest opponent, Hodges. Judge Thompson of Garden City easily carried the county in the senatorial contest. Far relly was second and Allen, the To peka man, was third. Bona hardly was in the running. In the local contests netwn Schlichter and Bell for the nomination for sheriff, and between Atchison ana Humphreys for county attorney, the fiKht was all one-sided. Schlichter and Atchison easily carried the coun ty, distancing their opponents from the time the ballots began to be counted. It should be noted that county of ficers who asked for renomination and who suffered defeat in yesterday's primaries, are showing their gam ness practically without an exception. County Clerk Zimmerman particular ly, inasmucn as ne is ana nas Deen on duty all night and day, smilingly sreets every visitor at his office, and unless one knew the results he would imagine that Sam had won. The complete returns are expected to be in and tabulated late this af ternoon, but except in a few instances. CContinued oa Far Tw-

The only close fights are those for county commissioner and for state senator, which are still very much in doubt. Oscar K. Ewajie. Totals from 37 precincts, most of which are complete, give the follow ing figures on candidates for the Re publican nomination for county of fices In which there are contests: Kiene, 2,510; Norton, 1,855. Rinehart, 2,282; Boragardner, 1,904. MacFarland, 2,588; Schoch, 1,803. Swayze, 2,707; Zimmerman, 1,664. Fifteen precincts complete give Shimer 538 and Sutherin 458. Fur ther returns show that both men are holding their own, but show perhaps a little gain for Shimer, with the probability that he is nominated. Six out of fourteen precincts, com plete, give O'Neil 390 and Nipps 381. Incomplete returns from other pre cincts give Nipps a lead that It Is not likely O'Neil will be able to over come. In Shawnee county, Curtis, in the senatorial contest, was given an over whelming majority over Stubbs. Re ports, practically complete, from the majoirty of the precincts give Curtis 2,857; Stubbs. 1,641. Charles G. Blakely. Capper is given more than double the vote given Ryan in the county. Capper carried practically every pre cinct both in the city and county. His total vote in 3 9 out of 4 9 precincts, most of which are complete, gives 2,947: Ryan, 1,069. Thirty-seven precincts, nearly all complete, give Burge a small lead over Troutman in the fight for state senator, with the result probably in doubt until the last vote is counted. Drenning Is far out of the running. The figures are: Burge, 1,364; Troutman, 1,327; Drenning, 703. Payne is far ahead of Akers in Shawnee for the Republican nomina tion for state treasurer, according to incomplete returns. The figures avail able give Payne 1,375; Akers, 858.

Billard carried Shawnee county In 37 precincts complete, by a majority of more than 8 to 1 over both his op ponents. In some precincts Billard car ried every vote, while in many others he carried the majority of the Demo cratic vote polled, his opponents tak ing a few scattered votes. Hodges was second with three times the vote ac corded to Jackson. The figures give Billard 1,673, Hodges 176, Jackson 53. Judge Thompson, of Garden City, showed remarkable strength in the Shawnee county primaries, carrying the county by a good majority. The next In the running was Judge Farrelly of Chanute. Only a scattered vote was given to Judge Allen, the Topeka can didate for the nomination. ml i 3. 1 Rliinchar for Coroner. The figures show: Thompson 519, Far relly 369, Allen 264, Bond 122. In the local fight for the Democratic nomination for sheriff and county at torney, the only contested places on the ticket, Schlichter easily won the first from Bell, and Atchison defeated Humphreys.

Judge Stuart, of Troy, seemed to have an organization in this county, and ran for. ahead of Stubbs. Capper, for governor, had all the best of it, and beat Ryan at least two to one. Kiene Carries Norton's Precinct. One of the unusual results of the contest between L. I. Kiene and Col. Norton for the Republican nomina tion for sheriff was that Mr. Kiene carried the precinct where Mr. Nor ton has made his home for many years This Is the third precinct of the Fourth ward. Mr. Kiene's majority here was no less than 27, the vote be ing 107 for Kiene and 80 for Norton. Schlichter and Atchison Lead.

COWHERD WINS. Big Vote in the Cities Places Him in the Lead. St. Louis, Aug. 7. :With an indi cated lead of 16,000 to 18,000 in St. Louis, 11,000 in Jackson county and 2,000 in Buchanan county, Wm. S. Cowherd of Kansas City apparently won the Democrat nomination for governor over Elliott W. Major In yesterday's primaries by a plurality estimated at 10,000. Although Major carried 50 of the 75 counties heard from this morning, leading Cowherd by nearly 17,000 in the country, it is not thought the re turns from the missing districts will give him enough to overcome Cow herd's lead in the sections compris ing the three largest cities In the state. John C. McKinley, former lieuten ant governor, was undoubtedly nomi nated for governor on the Republi can ticket. The vote of both parties was light, being especially noticeable In the Re publican party, where the third party movement made itself keenly felt. Patrick F. Gill of St. Louis, whose contest for the congressional seat of Therone E. Catlin, a Republican, is in the hands of the house of repre sentatives, appears to have been de feated for the Democratic nomination in the Eleventh district by Wm. L. Igoe. L. C. Dyer, seeking renomina tion on the Republican ticket in the Twelfth district easily outdistanced Dr. W. H. Cotton and Charles H. Phillips, a negro, who opposed him. Speaker Champ Clark had no oppo sition for renomlnation on the Demo crat ticket in the Ninth and Richard Bartholdt polled his usual large ma jority for the Republican renomlna tion in the Tenth. Campbell and Curtis In Montgomery. Independence, Kan.. Aug. 7. Camp bell. Curtis and the Roosevelt electors carried the county according to incom plete returns received here today.

The noon hour was marked by greater activity and a brisk rise in some of the speculative Issues, notably Reading and Lehigh Valley, while St. Paul further im proved Its position. Prices were lower and the undertone heavy at the opening of the stock market today. Canadian Pacific fell a full point, with weakness in the Coppers, St. Paul, Steel and other active issues. Selling was more persistent after the opening and prices of various Issues, chiefly specialties were conslderablly low er. Canadian Pacific declined 2 points with 1 to 3 points loss in Tobacco, Smelting. Beet Sugar ana .Biscuit. Interest and activity continued to cen ter about the Coalers, Reading and Le high Valley adding to earlier gains, with symyathetic strength in other standard stocks and some specialties, while Ameri can Tobacco sold lower than before.

On tha SUMMER COLDS Are Considered by Doctors More Dan gerous Than Winter Golds. A person is quite as apt to catch cold in the summer as in the winter, but it is harder to cure a cold in the summer than in the winter. In winter the brac ing air assists the remedy to overcome the cold, but the eultry, depressing weather of summer retards the cure of colds. The public is much interested in knowing a remedy that will successfully cope with summer colds. A remedy that covers Just such cases is Peruna. Experience has taught that it is the one remedy that promptly expels sum mer colds of every character and do 3cription. Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, Ky., says: "I have taken Peruna, and would say that it is the best medicine for coughs and colds I ever saw. I find that it always cures a cold in a short while.

They've just arrested a white man there for the murder of a negro which happened a year ago. Presumably there won't be much left of Chicago by the end of this week. No more destructive an animal ranges the forests than the Bull Moose. Inasmuch as the weather experts were emphatic with their predictions that fair weather would prevail on pri mary day, it was almost, a. foregone conclusion that it would rain.. And. it did. Present indications are that In some of the Kansas election districts they won't get through counting the primary ballots until it is time for them .to begin counting the election ballots next No vember. Maybe England thinks she is en titled to some special privileges in the Panama canal because three times as many Englishmen as Americans are engaged in the work of its con struction. Doesn't it make you angry to read an Item in a newspaper about somebody laughing so vigorously over a joke as to break a jaw, with nothing detailed In the item as to just what the joke happened to be? Naturally, that Tacoma preacher who has arrived at the conclusion that he is a failure as a clergyman has de cided to go into the chicken-raising business. Chickens and preachers are the real thing In the affinity line. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Insists that marriage is the most important busi ness in the world. And the married man who fails to bring home a skein of silk that matches the sample he took with him will heartily agree with her. Mr. Beveridge, former United State3 senator from Indiana,, must be in a happy mood these days. As one of the star performers at the national conven tion of the Roosevelt party, he Is get ting his picture in the newspapers again. Next to Colonel Roosevelt, George W. Perkins, the organiser of the harvest trust, a power In the steel trust, and a former member oi the firm of J. Pir pont Morgan Co., the reputed father of most of the trusts. Is the most prom inent figure at the gathering of the Bull Moose. Neither were the results of yesterday's primaries anywhere near as important to the welfare of Topeka as was the an nouncement on the same day that the entire shop force of the Santa Fe here seme 3,000 men were to be placed again on full working time, nine hours a day for six days in the week. And the battle-cry of the Bull Moosers is a long drawn out "moe" which is supposed to be an imitation of the call of the arrogant animal for which the new party is named. By November, it will likely have dwindled away into the peevish "meow" that comes from a half -starved kitten-cat. Just one-half of the counties in the Seventh Congressional district of Kan sas produced wheat alone this year that was worth more than all of the gold, silver, copper, lead, sine and other min erals produced in the whole stats of Colorado last year. And many agricul turists of the home-seeking variety travel right through Kansas In their quest for lands of promise. ROOSEVELT ELECTORS. Although the judges and election clerks all over the state are still at work counting the ballots, and the re turns of yesterday's primary are far from being complete, it appears that the "Roosevelt electors' have been sue cessful by a good majority. This is certainly convincing evidence that majority of those who participated in the Republican primary are favorable to the cause of the third-term enthusi ast. That's their political privilege, But In exercising it, they should have followed the Bull Moose into his ow particular party, as did their brethren across the river in Missouri and several other states. That might not have left more than a remnant of what once was the regular Republican party in Kansas. But it would be far better that It be destroyed entirely man that it be perverted into a hybrid by a most Questionable piece of political lueerlerv. TTnless the supreme court of the uni ted States decides that the Rooseven electors" are not entitled to a place on the regular Republican ballot next ran, and it is not at all likely mat me court will assume Jurisdiction in this case, that is the place that these elec tors will occupy. And they will be in Dnn.AValt a raise position. laeuumo is not the presidential nominee of the Ronublican party. He has never claim ed to be. He has just been nominated for the presidency by a new party that has onlv been brought into being wun i int few davs at Chicago. He has repeatedly said that It is his de sire to wage his fight for a third term without any connection wnaxsoever with any of the existing parties. He has nothing In common with either of the old parties. He boasts of this, ah of his utterances show emphatically that he has taken such a stand. That his friends in Kansas should have a right to vote for him on elec tion day is undeniable. But they have not the moral right to do so through the medium of the Republican ticket, His friends in Kansas who had person- t 1 1 1 i A thai nf r OT.ind 'have made such a procedure possible merely through a misuse of the pri mary Qf a histor1c party. that still has many tnousanos oi Sunflower state. Furthermore, the ap- pearance or me "Kooseven eiecoi the regular Republican ticket next fall will probably disfranchise tnese mou sands of regular Republicans in the state from voting for the presidential nominee of their party. And this is a sample of the "square deal" of which the Bull Moosers of this state are the prophets. LET THE PEOPLE RULE. That was the war-cry of Colonel Roosevelt and his boy scouts a few weeks ago. They shed real tears be cause there were not primaries in every state for the selection, of dele gates to .the Republican national con vention. They tore their hair over a political outrage of such monumental proportions. They got black In the face while- making pronouncements against "boss-ridden" political par ties and conventions. Naturally, it was reasonable to expect that when the Bull Moose and his clan organ ized a political party of their own, the people would be consulted about, and given the power to direct every move that was made. But to what extent have the people been permitted to rule iri the creation of the new party, and the organization and conduct of its first convention' It is to laugh. Not a line of news can be found in any of the stories Lconcerning the formation of the new party or the creation of ita conven tion where the people have had tho smallest kind of a voice to determine the procedures. From all the. ac counts that have come from Chicago the delegates to the Bull Moose con vention are of the hand-picked va riety. Nothing that savored of a pri mary was held for the selection of a single one of them. Such as were chosen with any regularity at all were selected at conventions of the Roose velt followers in several of the states. Conventions, mind you, those crooked and machine controlled affairs that for a brief spell, at least, were under th ban of the Roosevelt cohorts. And there wasn't even a convention to select the Kansas delegates to the Bull Moose row wow. A half-dozen of the elect of the Rooseveltians m this state held a secret conference In Topeka a couple of weeks ago. At its conclusion it was announced that only William Allen White and Henry Allen would represent Kansas at the great convention of the new party. As the days passed on, and wonder began to be expressed in divers quarters of the state as to why the preponderant Roosevelt sentiment in Kansas was going to find expression at Chicago only through the presence of Mr. White and Mr. Allen, there was a fan fare of trumpets in Bill White's cosy corner. This was preliminary to an announcement from him that Kansans were going to flock to the Bull Moose convention by the score. No less than 150 were going, said Mr. White. And he added as an incidental that as soon as these Kansans gathered in Chicago twenty of their number would be picked to serve as delegates in the convention and twenty more would be picked to serve as alternates. That's letting the people rule, as it Is worked out In practice by Mr. Roose velt and his friends. Until they gathered at Chicago, "Publicity," spelled with capital letters and with a hyphen between each one, was another watchword of great Im port with the Bull Moosers. They raged at any possibility that the Re publican national committee might hold secret sessions in hearing and deciding contests. President Taft and his friends Joined with the Roosevelt men in a request that all of the ses sions of the Republican national com mittee, at which contests were heard and decided, should be public. That course was followed. But what happened the other day in Chicago when the hand-picked national com mlttee of the Bull Moose party took up the contests Involving the rights of negroes to have a voice in that party. Well a part of the sessions of the Bull Moose national committee were open to the public. But frequently the com. mittee cleared the room and went into executive session .for secret considera tion of the disquieting problems pre sented. And then the members of the committee refused to arrive at a de cision. They thought it would be bet ter in the organization of a free and untrammeled convention to get Mr, Roosevelt's views on the questions in volved. Nothing that savors of "bossism" has prevailed in the creation of the new party, and the organization and con duct of its first national convention, No, indeed! Every detail of it has been arranged and decided upon by a "leader" who brooks no opposition, whose word is the final law. It Is, therefore, apparent that Colonel Roosevelt believes in letting the people rule, only in accordance with the plans and specifications which he prepares. MR. CAPPER'S VICTORY. Notwithstanding the fact that he is pledged to the support of a presiden tial candidate of another party, Arthur Capper was given the Republican nomination for governor yesterday by an overwhelming majority. Even the meager returns that have been re' ceived so far indicate that the voting for Mr. Capper was most general all over the state by those who took part in the Republican primary. It is pret- ty conclusive evidence that Mr. Cap per's handsome victory is of a per sonal character, rather than a political one. And this is perfectly natural. He is one of the state's best known and most prominent citizens. He is a na tive son. He has been eminently sue cessful In a wide variety of enterprises connected with the publishing bus! ness. He and his works are known to the four corners of the state and on all the highways and byways leading to them. It would have been unusual, in deed, had such a man been denied by his friends the first political honor he sought, even though it happened to be the highest one in their power to give. So close Is the contest for the Demo cratlc gubernatorial nomination be tween George Hodges and Jules Bil lard, that It is impossible to predict with safety just now who will be Mr. Capper's opponent in the battle that is to come for the governor's chair. Whoever he may be, he will certainly have to bestir himself to wrest the laurel from the Topeka newspaper man. Mr. Capper has demonstrated that he can put up a most effective campaign, and that he has an unusual ly large personal following In all parts of the commonwealth. RESULTS IN THE COUNTY. No matter which way the local politi cal wheel turns in !ghawnee county next November, the result will mean a big shakeup at the court house. A num ber of the incumbents in the several county offices who were candidates for renominations, and in some instances for a third or a fourth' term, were de feated in the primaries by new Re publican aspirants for county honors. This was no more than the reasonable outcome that might have been expect ed. There is no particular reason why men, regardless of their integrity and efficiency, who get elected to county offices should consider them personal property and make fine plans to camp In them for the rest of their natural lives. These offices should be passed on once in four years, anyhow, if for no other reason than that new brooms have a tendency to sweep a little clean er than old ones. And surely no com plaints can come from some of the present county officers because their friends have notified them that they have served sufficiently well and long in their present public positions. One of the decidedly popular vic tories in the Republican county arena was that won by Mr. L. L. Kiene in his quest for the shrievalty nomination Mr. Kiene was connected with the State Journal for many years as its managing editor. As such his services to Topeka and Shawnee county were large. And the many friends that he made among all classes of people dur ing his newspaper career evidently made up their minds that he was at least entitled to a chance for the only political office, he has ever sought, al though many of an appointive variety have sought him and always in vain. Mr. Kiene's victory is all the more agreeable to his friends because he was pitted against a political foeman worthy of any man's steel. Colonel Jonathan D. Norton is one of the per sonally most popular men in Shawnee county. He has served his feilow citi zens most acceptably as sheriff. Ana his belief that he was entitled to a second elective term which many good lawyers declared would be In reality a third term and thereby in contraven tion of the constitution, was no doubt a thoroughly sincere and honest one, or Colonel Norton would never have pressed it. If Mr. Kiene is honored by an elec tion to the sheriffs office in Novem ber he will make good. He is one of those men who does that very' thing wherever he is placed. In fact, he will make such a good sheriff that the people of Shawnee county will probably want to continue him in of fice for life. Unfortunately, though. Mr. Kiene has declared against a third term and he is a man of his word. However, Mr. Kiene will not have walkaway in November. Mr. Schllcter, who won the Democratic nomination for sheriff in convincing fashion, is an honest and capable man and a hard and successful campaign er. This is equally true of all the candidates who won the Democratic county nominations. They make up an especially strong ticket. And the battle next fall for the Shawnee coun ty offices will be a hard fought one.

He was born rich, and therein he was unfor tunate. His mother insisted that he be ducated for an art for which he had no talent, and that was more unfortu nate still- At 25 he was useless, dis sipated and unhappy. At 26 he was penniless, with a vain, extravagant and ill-tempered mother to support. The first thing that offered was a clerkship in the office of an engineering firm. It was drudgery, but after a time there was something in the face of the eager workers around the broken reed that caught his attention. After giving thought, he concluded that the secret must lie in their battered reference books and queer draughting instru ment. So the ne'er-do-well began to studr at night.

Politeness in a man is largely a matter of whether tho object of it is more im portant than he Is. A man can understand a girl till he marries her,' and she can't understand him till she marries him. If a man could try to get to heaven the way he can into a public office, the devil's business wouldn't pay at all. SAYS UNCLE GAV THE LONG ROAD. Brother, what if the road be long. Out of the gray town, over the hill! A gay good heart and a snatch of song, And life laughs back as we trudge along. What if the inns be good or bad! Turn your face to the wind, my lad; Take the long road with a will. Out of the gray town, over the hill! Brother, what If the day be long! Journeys end, and the stars, and the sun.

Lethridge stepped into the hallway of the deserted house. Linen shrouded the upholstery, dust lay velvety in the corners. There was a faint odor of mildew. The house had been closed since his grandmother's death, almost nine years ago. When last he quitted the place, thought Lethridge, he was a boy of 25, smooth-cheeked, bright- eyed, surcharged with enthusiasm. Now, after his nine busy, successful years in the Orient, the familiar sur roundings brought poignantly to mind the change in himself a change made up largely of the rellnqulhlng, one by one, of his boyish dreams. How the old house brought them back! These faded walls had seen the destruction of the bravest dream of them all. Here it had met its death, and since then absurdly sentimental as it may seem. nothing had quite filled the gap u leri nothing had made him forget it. How the memory of Pony iayaen stayed with him, and yet he had not seen her again since the rareweil re ception given him here by his grand mother on the eve or his departure. He had been almost confident, then. that she cared for him, although there was his old classmate. Wade Barrow, who was regarded by onlook ers as having an equal chance with himself. On learning of the sudden luck which was to send him on his appointment to Japan. Lethridge had gone to Polly and asked her to marry him. If she would consent his plan was to return for her In a year. She had hesitated at first It was such an important decis ion, she insisted, and she wanted to be quite sure-but she promised to give him his answer the evening of the reception. He had gone away happy, full of hope. And then cam?? the bitter disappointment. Polly haj come to the reception how lovely she looked, he recalled! but very early she had gone away with Wade Barrow without word of explanation, leaving no message. He had been hurt, piqued, and had sailed next day with a miser able load on his heart- Three months later a letter from home told him of Polly's approaching marriage to Barrow.- Lethridge sent her a very beautiful print for a wed ding present, received a cordial note in thanks, and that was all. Nothing remained of the friendship except a haunting memory of the girl. Slowly he wandered through the des olate rooms, reviving old, and some times painful, recollections. At last he drifted into a little study at the back of the house and down in a worn leather armchair before a library table. Over the center of the table was swung a Greek lamp of dull silver. Lethridge looked up at it with pleased recogn tion. It was a graceful thing. He had always admired it when he was a boy. Perhaps he would take it back with him. He started Into a listening attitude. A step sounded in the hall. Who could it be? There was not even a caretaker in the house. A shadow fell across the doorway. Lethridge rose with an as tonished exclamation as a slender, black-gowned woman appeared in the doorway and stopped still with a fright ened expression in her purplish gray eyes. Mrs- Barrow!" said Lethridiro in amazement. Frank!" There waa nn i,..ff.iun in her use of his first name. "I 1 naa no idea vou wera in Ampru wnen aia you reach home?" nesteraay. I came straight over to look at the old place. You know it has been shut up since my grand mother died, which was Just after I wem away. Hut you 7 I didn't aream or seeing an old friend here. Airs. Barrow looked a litttln em- Darrassea. "I borrowed the keys from vour cousins," she said. "I came to look for something I left here a a long lime ago. "I see! Perhaps I can helD you find It. I suppose you've lived in New York right along?" Except for the last year and a half, which I've spent roaming about Europe. I too. have Just come home. But tell me about yourself. How does it ?eel to be famous?" Lethridge shrugged his shoulders. I'm not conscious of any particular thrills," he replied, smiling. "You nre married, of course? It's stupid of me to ask, but I've had lit tle news lately." Indeed, no. I ve not even been in love." "No? Surely you're Joking." "Not since the fair Polly Hayden banished hope forever from my breast," he answered lightly. I? What do you mean by that? she inquired curiously. Why, the usual thing. you haven't forgotten the last evening here, in this very house how you were to give me an answer to a pertinent question I had asked you. Well I got my answer, and stepped aside. That was all." "You got my answer?" I "The most conclusive kind. You went off before I could get a word with you alone, went and left no mes sage. By the way, was it that you dreaded to inflict the wound of tell ing me the truth, face to race? I've always wondered. She was starine at him. wild-eyed. one hand grasping the edge of the table. "Then it is true! You never got mv tiftte'" What noteT n was uimwsj b turn to stare. I left one for you. But snail l tell what happened?" "Please do!" His tone was per emptory with suddenly aroused ex citement. You see." she began, ner grasp on the table edge tightening, "when I reached here there were crowds of people about you so that it was im possible to Bpeak to you by yourself. had had a slight neaaacne wnen x left home, and by 10 o'clock it had grown so much worse that I saw it was foolish to try to' remain the rest of the evening. So I slipped in here for a moment, scribbled a note to you ith my answer and hid it. I wanted you to read it, alone, in the quiet, after everybody was gone. Then gave directions to one of the ser vants, told him where I had put the note and how he was to tell you about It before you went to bed. Wade in sisted on going home with me, and to keep from distressing any one we slipped away with only a hurried good-bye to your grandmother." She .paused. Lethridge looked at her with a strange expression. "I never got the message," he said. "I know it now. But I didn't know it the next day when I was sick in bed that headache was the beginning of an attack of grip and when I waited, thinking surely you would come. You sailed without even telephoning me. I was angry, and my pride was hurt. It didn't occur to me until long afterward that there might have been a mistake. What I believed was that you had changed your mind about how you felt toward me and that you thought the safest way out of it was merely to disre gard my note." "To what servant did you give the message?" asked Lethridge after a pause. "I think it was your grandmoth er's old butler. I knew his face and was sure I could trust him to de liver the message." Lethridges face changed. "Wat son! I remember it all. The old fellow was stricken with apoplexy that very evening and never regained consciousness. I didn't know It till next morning. So that explains it- He turned to her again. "And where did you put the note?" he inquired "Here In this room.. I slipped it into the silver lamp there. With a quick gesture Lethridge reached up into the carved receptacle and withdrew his hand, covered with dust. He held a yellowed scrap of paper which was wrapped around something brown and crumbling. "That was a rose -a pink rose from my bouquet," said Mrs. Bar row, with a nervous little laugh. Slowly Lethridge read the faded writing, his face paling. He finished and put the note into his pocket, then stood gazing at her, a queer pain at his heart. For a moment neither spoke. "After after I married," said Mrs. Barrow, hesitatingly, "I some times wondered if something like this hadn't happened. It was so unlike you to act as I first accused you of acting. But I didn't feel right about trying to find out when I was Wade's wife. I would never come here even on the small chance of finding the note while he was alive. "While Wade was alive?" Yes. You knew, of course, that Wade died at Carlsbad two years ago s "1 hadn't heard it. Poor Wade! But why do I say that? He must have Deen nappy. He had everything a man could want to make him so." She looked down at the faded car pet. "res, I believe he was very happy," she replied. Then, after a moment, and in a brighter tone, "Well my mission is fulfilled. I have found what I came to search for my old note, and my belief in you. And now it is time to depart. Shall I look for ward to seeing you- before you go away? Come in some afternoon to tea and we 11 talk of old davs." "Why not talk of them now Leth ridge moved a step nearer her. "Say it is ten years ago. I am the same Frank Lethridge. and vou are Pollv Jiayaen. You're Just twentv "That's a far flight for fancv." she smuca rueruiiy. "For fancy, perhaps, but is it a far night ror love? Listen: I have Just reaa your note, xne nine vears it took to reach me have not been long enough to alter tne question to which it re plies. Tell me the truth is It too late for me to hope?" She hesitated, much as she had done on a previous occasion, a sudden shy ness in her eyes. He leaned toward her Impulsively and caught her two nanas in ms. Pclly! I'm reDeatinsr mv nnntlnn. What answer will you give me?" rou nave it in your pocket," she replied. (Copyrighted. 1912 hv Assm elated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAUCKROX. High ideals are beautiful and wonderful thin 3. It is always an inspiration to me to meet anyone who has some aspiration and some sense of responsibility in life be yond surrounding himself and his own with all the comforts and pleasures and friends possible, and living pleasantly day to day. But conversely, it Is always a saddening disillusionment to find my Idealist notably falling to live up to the little obligations of daily living. And yet how often one finds this sad combination grand thinking and petty living, stern ideals and slack realities! For instance, a young woman crossed my path this summer whose beautiful ideals about the brotherhood of man and our re sponsibility towards our less fortunate fellow creatures were a stimulant to me. And then one day I heard the woman with whom she boarded telling how much trou ble and extra work this particular girl had caused by being consistently and un necessarily late to meals. The hostess is a very hardworking little widow who is evidently overtaxing her strength, and most of her guests even though they do not have ideals as to the brotherhood of man do all they can to make it easier for her. Naturally, after that, my young friend's ideals failed to inspire me. Again, the most impassioned champion of justice and equal rights for all whom I ever knew was a young man who lived in a boarding house and was disliked by all his mates because he would keep pos session of the bathroom at the rush hours just about twice as long as the law of justice and equal rignts ror an anowea. Just the other day my shampoo lady came an hour early, inquiring anxiously if I could have my treatment then, and explaining that it would be a great favor if I could, for Mrs. 8., whom she usually treated at that hour, had gone to town and left word that she would postpone her appointment until that afternoon That had thrown out her entire schedule. and unless I could accommodate her, she said she dldn t know what she would do. Now Mrs. S. Is a woman of unusually high Ideals of Justice. Wasn't It strange that it didn't occur to her to put them into Dractice in the relations or dally lire? Of course, we all know very well Inten tioned people who cause Infinite incon venience and unhapplness by slackness in paying their debts. "To talk of living the higher life and to ignore the financial in tegrity of keeping one's debts promptly and accurately paid, someone has said, "is to speak a meaningless Jargon." Now there are many kinds of consist mcv which are absolute folly. As, for In stance, that which makes a man cling to a position alter ne nas come to reanze it is a mistake. But the consistency which makes a man try to live in little things as he talks In big ones, surely is a jewel. And they who lack this consistency cer tainly are talking a "meaningless jargon" when they try to tell us about their Ideals. An old farmer Went to a cattle show to exhibit a favorite cow, with which he had high hopes of winning the first prize. On learning the result, and that his cow had been placed fifth, his anger knew no bounds, and. rushing Into the ring, he attacked the judges. "Why is my cow not first. What are her faults, I'd like to know?" At this point one of the Judges approached him and answered: "Her faults, my good man, are somewhat akin to your own. She lacks good breeding." Argonaut. KANSAS COMMENT YOUR TOWN. More towns die for want of confi dence on the part of business men and lack of public spirit than any other cause. When a man in search of a home or a business location goes into a town and finds everything brim full of hope and enthusiasm of the prospects of the place, and all earn estly at work to build It up, he soon becomes imbued with the same spirit, and as a result he drives dowrl stakes' and goes to work with the same Inter est. When, however, he goes to a town where everyone expresses doubt and apprehension for the future pros perity of the place moping about and indulging in mournful complaints he naturally feels that it Is no place for him, and he at once shakes the dust off his feet while he pulls out wiia all possible speed for some other place. Consequently try and make a live en terprising town out of the town in which you live. When you are work ing tor or saying a good thing for your town you are accomplishing all ths more for yourself. Corning Gazette. GLASS IN THE STREETS. Plain carelessness is responsible for much of the glass that is scattered m streets and alleys. It has been a cua hJZS,? .?.1b ,on standing to throw broken bottles, lamp chimneys and pieces of window pane in the street, or perhaps "J ,t.J eys' ttt the average person doe not think much about it. Those who have the Job of carting away refuse, moreover, are also frequently to blame for broken bits of glass that litter the streets, and not Infrequently one Is able to trace the course of a wagon thus loaded, by the tell-tale bits of broken glass it leaves along the route It has taken. Yet it is nothing short of criminal carelessness to thus be Instrumental in distributing bits of broken glass in the streets or alleys to become a menace to the rubber tires now used on automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles and some other veh4cles. No one would wilfully throw a brick through a neigh bor s window, yet such an act would be no more reprehensible than to be the causa of puncturing ard perhaps destroying a. neighbor's tires, which are even more ex pensive than an ordinary window. The crusade against broken glass in the high ways and byways should be aided br everyone. There is a place for rubbish of this sort, but It is not In the publie thoroughfare. The path of the rubber tired rig is thorny enough without adding to the troubles of the owners and drivers. And those who simply won't be caref-.il as the result of a polite and kindly re minder should be given a warning In a sterner form. For there are laws against carelessness of this kind, with penalties to fit the misdemeanor. But just the re minder should be enough for those who are honestly disposed. Oshkosh North western.

Lots of people who don't marry In hast repent at leisure. Many a good ball player would make a poor second bass in a glee club. No matter how absent-minded a woman may be, she seldom forgets herself. A bigamist Is a man who Is so fond of looking for trouble that he looks for it twice. Many a man has lost his teeth from the effect of biting off more than he couid chew. Some men could be very readily taught if It wasn't for the fact that they know tt all. A man can't very well lay up treasures In heaven by putting his religion in Ms wife's name. The most profitable patients a dorto has are usually those wbo complain that life Isn't worth living. Wlgg "She says she went abroad to -nish her education."

"1 found exactly what I was looking for In the very first store." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Some things In moderation ars worse than others in excess. The quicker some trains of thought are sidetracked the better. Carpenters frequently do better worb on the stage than the actors. Every girl figures on playing the star part In a wedding some day. Probably no one regrets the fact that we can die but once, unless he be the un dertaker. Give a man the little he wants here be low and he'll kick himself because h didn't ask for more. Perhaps patent medicine men fill their almanacs with ancient jokes to show their skill in prolonging life. DAFFYDILS BY TJ. NOALL.

I NORTH SIDE NEWS Mrs. Cunningham "Describes Jforthwest Country. Two Artists Now in Pioneer Hardships. SEES WHEAT FIVE FEET HIGH Where Large Fortunes Are Made and Quickly Spent. Advises All Homesteaders to Take Capital. Mrs. C. B. Cunningham of 833 North Kansas avenue, who has just return ed from a trip through Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, gives an inter esting account of her experiences. She speaks of seeing two Chicago wom!n, a music teacher and a china painter, who had not been used to doing even their own house work, now going through hardships of a pioneer life. She also describes how fortunes in that country are often' gambled and drank up within three days. She ad vises no one to think of trying to get the socalled "free" government land without at least $500 capital. In addition she describes wheat five fe-3t high. "The majority of people think that they can get government land in the northwest with absolutely no money in their pockets," said Mrs. Cunning ham this afternoon. "However, the idea is a mistake. A person should not try to locate in that country with out at least $500. While the filing fee does not amount to much, it costs a great deal to put up the house and fence and to till the land as required by the government. Artists Now Pioneers. "I met two Chicago women near Billings, Mont., who have invested about $1,800 in their claims which adjoin each other. And these women, who until they came west had never done even their own housework, are now going through some of the hard ships of pioneer life. "They have helped dig their own cisterns, bank up the earth against their houses, fence their land and see to the tilling and harvesting of the crops. And think of it, these same two women knew only how paint china and play the piano; as I said, never thought of attending to just light household work when at home. Now, I understand, in addition to looking after their farm work, they also have studios in Billings and give lessons in the daytime and walk back and forth from their homesteads where they stay at night. Money Is Made and Spent. "Money is made and spent in that country. You find plenty of oppir tunity to make money and to spend it. I know of a sheep herder, who after saving the greater part of his wages $50 a month board and wash ing included for several years, bought a ranch and then sold it for $3,200 cash. In three days he had gambled and drank up the entire for tune. Every other risaoc- is a saloon with all kinds of chances to gamble.

HIS ACCOUNTS SHORT, Colonel G. G. Cornwell Commits Sui cide on a Train. Westchester, Pa., Aug. 7. Nothing in tne history of this community has created such widespread feeling of sorrow and de pression among its residents as the suicide of Colonel Gibbons Gray Cornwell, soldier and lawyer, who ended his Ufa last night on a Pennsylvania train whila being brought back from New York to answer a charge of misappropriating funds of an estate of which he was trus tee. It is probable had he the heart to face the charges that friends and relatives would have come to his rescue. A meet ing of merchants and professional men was held yesterday at which plans to aid Colonel Cornwell were discussed. Mrs. Cornwell is in a state of collapse and the sympathies of the community have gono to her and the four small children. Cap tain R. T. Cornwell, the aged father of the suicide, also is prostrated. The suicide of Colonel Cornwell de veloped the fact that he was contem plating flight at the time of his arrest. Constable William Mullen, who was bring ing the accused man to Westchester when he ended his life, said that In searching Colonel Cornwell's pockets steamship sailing lists and other literature containing information about foreign trips were found. Following an inquest in Philadelphia which was a mere formality the body was brought here. A complete investigation of Colonel Cornwell's entangled affairs will be begun at once. Arthur B. Reid, attorney for the Darlington estate of which) the suicide was a trustee, placed the shortage at anywhere from $55,000 to $150,000. Colonel Cornwell had charge of trust funds and estates valued at a quarter of a million dollars. The resignation of Colonel Cornwell as commander of the Sixth regiment was re ceived at the office of the adjutant gen eral at Harrlsburg today. It simply stated that he desired to tender his resignation to take effect immediately. The letter was mailed in New York and was dated yesterday. IT IS THEIR DAY OFF.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL AUGUST 7, 1912 COL ROOSEVELT IS NOMINATED The Colonel Is Placed In Nomi nation for Presidency By IVilliam A. Prendergast, Delegate From New York. THE CLOSE OF HIS SPEECH Is Followed ly a Wild and Noisy Demonstration IVhich Was Still in Progress at 3 O'clock. Chicago. Aug-. 7. Theodore Roose velt was placed In nomination as can didate for the Progressive party for president in a speech by William A. Prendergast of New York before the Progressive convention this afternoon. Prendergast's speech was followed by a. wild demonstration by delegates which still was in progress at 3 o'clock. With a numbeV of seconding speeches yet to come, oratory was expected to consume a large part of the after noon. After Chairman Beveridge reached the Coliseum there was a conference of leaders and it was decided to await the platform before proceeding to the nominations. Tentative plans then were made for a short session to be followed by a recess until 2:30. Chairman Bever idee dropped the gavel. It was then 11:30 o'clock. Rabbi Gersen B. Levi of Chicago was introduced as the chaplain of the day. He pronounced the prayer. Chairman Beveridge introduced C. E. iBcott of Alabama, chairman of the com mittee on permanent organization. He presented a report recommending the temporary organization be made per manent which was adopted without de bate. A report was then brought in from the rules committee. The new rules were presented by Medill McCormick and he moved their adoption. John L. Hamilton, of Illinois, moved to make the name of the party either 'progressive" or 'national progres sive." He explained that this amend ment was necessary to comply with the election laws of various states. There was some question as to this amendment when the motion to adopt the rules was temporarily withdrawn. Chairman Beveridge announced that the convention would listen to a speech toy W. H. Hotchkiss, state chairman of New York and would take a recess to await the platform. Meantime the vote on the rules was put over until after the recess. Mr. Hotchkiss was cheered as he re viewed the work of organization of the Progressive party in New York. Recess Is Opposed. He concluded with a prediction of certain victory in November. A mo tion to recess until 1:15 evoked the first note of opposition tothe jlans of the leaders. A chorus "of "noes" greeted the motion to recess. Henry J. Allen of Kansas, moved as a substitute that the--convention pro ceed with the nomination without awaiting the u-latf;orm. Chairman Beveridge ruled this'out of order, as the rules of the convention provided for the adoption of the platform. Al len then moved to suspend the rules and proceed to nominate. By a second of two-thirds of the Kansas delegation the motion was recognized and two more states sec onded it. Timothy L. Woodruff made a brief speech opposing Allen's mo tion. Wm. Flinn of Pennsylvania. eald that a recess at this time would delay things. Former Governor Fort of New Jersey, moved as an amend ment that the convention recess until 1 o'clock After some discussion this vrk adopted. When 1 o'clock, the hour set for the convention to reconvene arrived, there were many vacant seats on the floor. The band whiled away the time until Chairman Beveridge at 1-20 dropped his gavel. Medill McCormick presented changes made in the code of rules for the new party. A special rule recognizing the Washington Party" in Pennsylvania BS the Progressive party Mas added Henry J. Allen of Kansas. an nouncing the platform would not be ready for an hour and a half, renewed the motion to suspend the rules and proceed to, nominate. This time the motion went through without serious Objection. Roll Call of States. "The clerk will call the roll of (tates for nominations for president of the United States," announced Chair Xnan Beveridge. Alabama, called the clerk! J- O. Thompson arose. "Alabama yields to New York," he announced.

Lying helpless on his cot in an Atlanta courtroom. Eugene Grace, whose wife is on trial for attempting to murder him, listened to the testimony and longed for his wife's conviction.

Prendergast of New York, scheduled to nominate, was not in the hall. Searchers hurried out to find him and the band filled in the wait. The delegates grew impatient and the various delegations did some cheering to keep themselves occupied. After the hunt for Prendergast had been on twenty minutes? the musical director resumed the song service. Then Chairman Beveridge quieted the hall and Prendcrgat-t appeared. A round of cheers greeted him as he was introduced and the bull moose call sounded through the hall. Prendergast concluded his speech at 2:22 and a demonstration was immedi ately begun. Over the Colorado delega tion appeared a banner inscribed: "Lindsey for vice president." From a galler;- a big American flag was drop ped. To it was attached a picture of Col. Roosevelt in rough rider uniform. It was greeted with an outburst of cheers, the enthusiasm became pan dtmonium and in the midst of the tu mult a Minnesota delegate broke loose the state standard a?d started up the center aisle. New York fell into line. The Texas standard surmounting a po! bearing an American flag came next, anc soon every state standard was swinging over a yelling, shrieking mob that surged through the aisles. On the platform, a white bearded vet- eran in a Grand Army uniform swung an American flag and urged the dele- crates to make more noise. COUNTY ATTORNEY QUIT Van Vreit of Marshall Waited Until After Primary. James V. Van Vleit, county attorney of Marshall' counts-, has resigned his office as a result of ill health. He sent his resignation some time ago to At torney General John S. Dawson with the request that he hold it until after the primary election s as not to affect the political situation. Mr. Dawson appointed an assistant attorney general for Marshall county about a month ago to look after the prosecuting attorney's duties, and for warded Mr. Van Vieit's resignation yesterday to Judge Sam Kimble of Manhattan who will name a successor to Mr. Van Vleit. WARMEST DAY FOR AUGUST. But at That Thermometer Is Not Very High. This is the warmest day thus far in August, but at that the temperatures are averaging three degrees below nor mal for this time of year. There have been scattered showers over Kansas, and it is likely that there will be a shower here and there in the next 24 hours, but the forecast calls for "gen erally" fair weather. The wind is blowing twelve miles an hour from the southwest. Following is taken from the report of Section Director T. B.

He Finds It an Easy Great. "Checkers. savs I to myself, says I an T was ahnut to enter a villaire oneineu .iil lie rune up anu weni uui lu afternoon, 'no hobo knows what a town mnv brine- forth to him. It may thrust greatness upon him, or it may thrust him into jail. You've had a heap of jail and now perhaps great ness awaits you.". I girded up my loins and entered the town. There was much excite- ment, and I thought there had been a murder until a grocer explained that a temperance lecturer who had a date there had missed hi3 train and could not fill the engagement. "I believe I could fill his placa." says I, speaking up for the hobo pro fession. "Then go and see Judge Clark, who has the matter in hand. Say, hobo, did you ever hear the word gall?" I went on my way and found the judge. When I told him I might take the lecturer's place, and entertain an audience for a couple of hours, he grew wrathy at what he called my cheek and drove me off his doorstep, but before I had reached the gate he called me back and asked: "How long have you been on the tramp?" "1 have never tramped at oil," I replied. "As a student of human na ture, however, I have covered 20,000 miles of railroad track and country highways." "And you can get up and talk to an audience on the subject of temper ance?" "If I had a decent suit of clothes to replace these." "It might do." he mused. "There'd be a novelty about it anyhow, and the society wouldn't b-i entirely disap pointed. Did you ever deliver a tem perance lecture before?" "Not strictly a temperance lecture, bvit I've delivered addresses on sev tral subjects tnd got through very fairly." "You don't look like a joker," he said, as he gave me a looking over. "I haven't smiled for five years," I answered him. He studied the case for a while and then made up his mind and said: "I'll sive you a show. Take this money and go and get a shave, and when you come back I'll lend you a suit of clothes. If you make a fool of things, we'll run you into Jail, but if you me.Ko a fairly decent address I'll give you a $5 bill in your hand." In three-quarters of an hour I was ready to go with him to the hall. He turned out to be something of a joker himself. I was introduced to an audi ence of 400 people as Prof. Tosh, who was going to take the place of Prof. CJuild, and I could find no fault with my reception. I suppose I have listened to a score of temperance lectures in my life, and have read more or less of the evils of Crink as who has not? and I didn't have to work my head very much. The people had come there to hear of the debasing influence of liquor and the virtues of cold water, and all I had to do was to fill the order and make a change. I had had Wilf an hour to arrange things in alphabetical order, and I started off with a little story of a wounded soldier listening to the lap ping and gurgling of a brook he could not reach as he suffered the tortures of thirst. I had most of the women crying be- fore that soldier had yielded up his life for the want of a little bit of the barrels of water going to waste a few rods away, and the rest was dead easy. If you can once get an audience to weeping or laughing you are on the road tc success. When I had killed my soldier, off in good shape I presented the picture of a sweet-faced girl trip I ping into a saloon, with a growler to e-et .beer for her father, who sat in get beer for her father, who sat in Job to Be '1'8 garret home yelling at the hungry I baby and blasting the eyes of his weep I ing wife. I There, was more weeping among the women, ana one young man got so cx- Punch some saloonkeeper's head. Of 'course I had the little girl spill the beer in returning home, and of course i her besotted father threw her down stairs and broke her neck. It was the (climax that brought every one to his feet with a demand that even ginger beer should no longer rear its- hydra head in America, I Temperance statistics are easy. J ne amount of cold water at your dis- posal in this countv Is 1.000 tr-allr.no day for every man, woman and child in it. with barrels and barrels left over for domestic animals and to run Niagara Foils In proper shape. We all know that and nobody cares to dispute it. The amount of intoxicating drinks passed over the bars is about a pint a piece daily, which gives every old soaker 10 or 12 pints, and the money expended amounts to $700,000,000 a year. Aside from these figures, drink is responsible for 600,000 crimes every 12 months, causes the death of over half a million children, and does more general harm than 4,500 churches can offset. I gave them the whole thing right down to the last red cent, and then wound up with a peroration that started cascades of Ice-cold water leaping down every hill In America. The lecture was a success. A dozen chairs were upset and three or four windows broken as the audience surged forward to hug me. and the presi dent crowded $10 in my hand and whis pered into my ear: "Say, now, old hobo, I couldn't have done much better than that myself! You just keep that suit .of clothes and say nothing to nobody." Yes, It was a success, but the rose has its thorn. A widow with $30,000 be hind her, whose lamented husband had broke his neck while drunk and trying to break hers, was so carried away by my remarks that she fell in love with me and offered me her hand, heart and cash. I went as far as to press her hand and promised to give the matter my earliest attention, but It had to end there. I didn't even dare to accept an invita tion to. dinner, and while she was driving around next day to unearth "Prof. Tosh," I was -hoofing the tracks at the rate of six miles an hour. Splendid op portunity for a man who wanted to set tle down and become a mayor of the town, but I had to throw it over. As a contented hobo I couldn't give up the road and that feeling of unrestrained liberty that comes to a man who has a strawstaek all to himself as night set tles down over the United States and Canada.

Clifton Crawford, in "The Quaker Girl." tells this anecdote of class distinction in an East End dancing school: "There was a young woman who thought a good deal about ancestry and descent, and there was a young man who thought that all such stuff was snobbish. The two sat out a dance together, and the girl mount ed her hobby almost at once. "What was your father?" Interrupted the young man. "Father was a gentleman.' 'Ha! But what did he do for a living?" The young man thought that smart, but the girl came right back. "What was your father?" she asked. 'My father raised hogs." "I see he did. But what did he do for a living? "Young's Magazine.

"ot to Catch Votes, but to Sat isfy Thought." Seag-irt. Aug. 7. Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey was officially in formed today that he had been chosen by the Baltimore convention as the nominee for .the presidency on the Democrat ticket. Governor Wilson was notified by Senator-elect OIlie James, of Kentucky, who emphasized, as lie said, that the governor had obtained the honor untrammeled by obligations and unembarrassed by affiliations cf any kind. Though the governor spoke lr acceptance, theoretically to the fifty- two members of the committee, the speech, sounding his political philoso phy, was heard by a great throng. The governor- read from manuscript. The platform he said was not a program but a practical document Intended o show "that we know what the nation is thinking about and what It is most concerned about." The people, iie added, were about to be asked not particularly to adopt a platform but to entrust the Democratic party with "office and power.-and the guidance of their affairs" and their de sire now was to know what "transla tion of action and policy he Intended to ive to the general terms of the plat form should he be elected." By half past eleven the road way was Jammed w'th automobiles. Governor Mann, of Virginia, was the first of the governors to arrive. "It's a great day for Democracy," said Governor Mann as he greeted the Democrat presidential nominee. The marching clubs which arrived with brass bands bore orange and black pennants with a Wilson picture on them. On their coats they wore sun flowers. James's Speech. Mr. James praised the candidate and his achievements and bespoke a har monious party with "no disgruntled Democrats sulking in their tents." He attacked both President Taft and for mer President Roosevelt, and held up the Republican party as "disheartened, discouraged and disorganized." The Republican conduct of trust prosecutions was condemned. He de clared the Democrats were pledged to "felon's stripes" for great malefactors. "Bi? business" was promised support If legitimate, and the Democratic par ty was pledged to take the tariff out of politics when the "tr.ust fed barons take their larcenous hands out of the pockets of the American people." The motto "Thou shalt not steal" was a plagiarism from Democratic faith, Mr. James said, and he express ed belief in the charges both President Taft and former President Roosevelt have made against each other. Wilson's Speech. After thanking the committee of notification and expressing his pro found sense of responsibility in ac cepting the nomination, the governor said he realized that he was expected to speak plainly, to talk politics and open the campaign "in words whose meaning no one need douht." And he 'was expected to speak, he added, to the country as well as to the com mittee. "We must speak," he continued, by way of preface, "not to catch votes, but to satisfy the thought and con science of a people deeply stirred by the conviction that they have come to a critical turning point in their moral and political development. "Plainly it Is a new age," he went wt ill- 4 ACS' SF New wk polica Headquarters..

"It requires self restraint not to attempt too much, and yet it would be cowardly to attempt too little. In the broad light of this new day we stand face to face with what? Plain ly, not with questions of party, not with a contest for office, not with a petty struggle for advantage. With great questions of right and or justice, rather questions of national develop ment, of the development of charac ter and of standards of action no less than of a better business system. The forces of the nation are asserting themselves against every form of spe cial privilege and private control and are seeking bigger things than they have ever Heretofore achieved. Two Great Things to Do. "There are two great things to do. One is to set up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention or monopoly, the adap tation of our banking and currency laws to the very uses to which our people must put them, the treatment of those who do the daily labor in our factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold government power in trust, for their service, not our own. The other, the additional duty is the great task of protecting our people and our re sources --and of- keeping-open to the whole people the doors of opportunity through which they must, generation by generation, pass if they are to make conqueet of their fortunes in health, in freedom, in peace, and in contentment. In the performance of this second great duty we are face to face with ques tions of conservation and of develop ment, questions of forests and water powers and mines and waterways, of the building of an adequate merchant marine. "We have got Into trouble in recent years chiefly because these large things, ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a. num ber of persons as possible, because they touch every interest and the life of every class and region, have in fact been too often handled in private con ference. They have been settled by very small and often deliberately ex clusive groups of men who undertook to sneak for the whole nation, -or. rather, for themselves in the terms of the;whole nation very honestly it may be, but very ignorantly some times, and very shortsightedls', top, a poor substitute for genuine common counsel. No group of directors, eco nomic or political, can speak for a people. They have neither the point of view nor the knowledge. Our dif ficulty is not that wicked and design ing men have plotted against us, but that our common affairs have been de termined upon too narrow a view, and w too nrivate an initiative. Our task now 19 to effect a great readjustment and get the forces of the whole peo nle once more into play. We need no rovniDtinn we need no excited change: we need only a new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel. The Tariff Question. "The tariff question, as dealt with in our time at any rate, has not been business. It has been politics. Tariff schedules have been made up for the purpose of keeping as large a number as possible of the rich an influential manufacturers of the country in a good humor with the Republican par ty which desired their constant finan cial support. The tariff has become a system of favors, which the phrase ology of the schedule was often delib erately contrived to conceal. Who. when you come down to the hard facts of the matter, have been repre sented in recent years when our tariff schedules were being discussed and determined, not on the floor of con gress, for that is not where they have been determined, but in the committee rooms and conferences? That is the heart of the whole affair. Will you, can you, bring the whole people into the partnership or not? "We do not ignore the fact that the business of a country like ours is ex ceedingly sensitive to changes In leg islation of this kind. It has been built up, however, ill advisedly, upon tariff schedules written in the way I have indicated, and its foundations must not be too radically or too suddenly dis turbed. When we act we should act with caution and prudence, like men who know what they are about, and not like those in love with a theory. V A C A T I ON D R E A MS By John T. McCutcheon. rcourrigiw: mv By John T. MoCatcJion.l The dream of the country boy. T7t dream of the city hoy. It Is obvious that .-the changes we make would.be made only at such rate- and in such a way as will least interfere with the normal and health ful course of commerce nd manufac ture. But we shall hot on that ac count act .with, timidity; as if we did not know our bwn minds, for we are certain of our ground -and of our ob Ject. There should be .an Immediate revision .and It should be downward unhesitatingly and steadily downward Nation Is Rich. r "The nation as a nation has grown immensely rich. She is justly proud o her industries and of the genius of her men of affairs. They can master anything they set thair minds to and we have been greatly stimulated un der their leadership and command Their laurels are many and very green We must accord them the great hon ors that are their due and we must preserve what they .have built up for us. But what of the other side of the picture? It is not as easy for ns to live as it used to oe, uur money will not buy as much. High wages, even 'when we can get them, yield na no great comfort. We used to be better off with less, because a dollar could buv much more. The majority of us have been disturbed to find our selves growing poorer, even though our earniners were slowly increasing. Prices climb faster than we can push our earnings up. We know that they are not fixed by the competitions of the market, or by the ancient law cf snnnlv and demand which is to be found stated "in air the primers of economics, but 'by private arrange ments with regard to. what the suply should be and agreements among tne producers themselves. Those who bnv are not oven 'represented by counsel. The high cost of living is arranged bv private understanding. w naturally ask ourselves, how rlifl these gentlemen get control of thesn things? Who handed our econo. mic laws over to them for legislative and contractual alteration? We have in these disclosures still another view of the tariff, still anotner proor tniix, not the people of the United States but only a very small number of them have been partners in viiai icgiai tiort. 1 The Iabor Question. "The so-called labor question is a question only because we have not yet found the rule of right in adjusting the interests of laDor ana capicai. xiere, oo-ain the sense of universal partner ship must come into play if we are to act like statesmen, as muse vii not a class, but a nation. "The working people of America if they must be distinguished from the minority that constitutes the rest of it are, of course, the backbone of the nation. No. law that safe-guards their life, that imDroved the physical ana moral conditions under which they live, that makes their hours of labor ra tional and tolerable, that gives them freedom to act in their own interests, and that protects them where they can not protect themselves, can properly be regarded as class legislation or as any thing but as a measure taken in the interest of the whole people, whose partnership in right action we are try ing to establish and make real and practical. It is in this spirit that we shall act if we are genuine spokesmen of the whole country. The Currency. "In dealing with the complicated and difficult question of the reform ot our banking and currency laws. It is plain that we ought to consult very many persons besides the bankers, not be cause we distrust the bankers, but be cause they do not necessarily compre Vinri the husiness of the country, not withstanding they are indispensable servants of it and may do a vast deal to make it hard or easy. No mere banker's plan will meet the require ments, no matter how honestly conceiv ed. It should be a merchants and farmers' plan as well, elastic in the hands of those who use It as an in dispensable part of their daily busi ness.

Horsford's Acid Phosphate CNon-Alcoholic) I He You Can Never Live in Your Own Home Younger than You Are Right Now Every day you put off buying the home you live in means that much less time to live under a roof of your own. Every dollar that you pay out in rent might just as well be counted lost as far as any good it will do for you in the future. Each of those dollars you pay the landlord should be working to get you something more valuable than a collection of receipts. The Aetna Building Loan Association has helped hundreds of wage earners and salaried people to own their own homes by making monthly payments that come no harder than the usual rent. You must be either of two things a renter or a home owner. And the Aetna has changed many people from the "renting" to the"home-owning" class with no more hardships than was experienced in meting the regular monthly calls of the landlord. A one thousand dollar debt placed on the home you buy obligates you to pay but $13.33 a month in dues and interest in the Aetna. And inside of ten years the loan is paid, the interest, too, and the home is all your own free and unencumbered. As the Aetna is a mutual organization, it is necessary that you own stock in the Association at least equal to tha amount of your loan. This stock earns its share of the dividends and the actual interest cost of your thousand-dollar loan for the period of ten years is less than six per cent per year. Come in and let us go into details with you regarding the amount you wish to have. Young people, especially, should get the fullest measure of enjoyment that goes with the feeling of ownership.

We hold them In trust for the people who-live in them. They are theirs for the uses of their life. We are not ever, their partners. It is our duty, as trustees, to make whatever arrange ment of government will be most ser viceable to their freedom and develop ment. Here, again we are to set up the rule of justice and of right. "I do not know any greater question than that of conservation. We have been- a spendthrift nation and must now husband what we have left. We must do more than that. We must de velop, as well as preserve our water powers and must add great waterways ta the transportation facilities of the nation, to supplement the railways within our borders as well as upon- the Isthmus. We must revive our merchant marine too, and fill the seas again with our own fleets. We must add to our present postofflce service a parcels post as complete as that of any other nation. Wo must look to the health of our peo ple upon every hand, as well as hearten them with justice and opportunity. This is the constructive work of governments This is the policy that has a vision and a hope and that looks to serve mankind. Opposed to Subsidies. "With regard to the development of greater and more numerous water ways and the building ud of a mer chant marine, we must follow great constructive lines and not fall back upon the cheap devices of bounties and subsidies. In the case of the Mis sissippi river, that great central- ar tery of our trade, it is plain that the federal government must build and maintain the levees and keep the great waters in harness for the gen eral use. It is plain, too, that vast sums of money must be spent to de velop new waterways where trade will be most served and transportation most readily cheapened by them. Such expenditures are not largess on the part of the government; they are national investments. "The very fact that we have at la3t taken the Panama Canal seriously jn hand and are vigorously rushing it towards completion is eloquent of our re-awakened interest in international trade. We are not building the canal and pouring out million upon million of money upon its construction mere ly to establish a water connection, be tween the two coasts of the continent, important and desirable as that-may be, particularly from the point of view of navai defense. It Is meant to be a great international highway. It would be 7a little ridiculous if we should build it and then have no ships to send through it. There have been years when not a single ton of freight passed through the great Suez Canal in an American bottom- so empty are the seas of our ships and seamen. We must mean to put an end to that kind of. thing or we. would not be cut ting a new canal at -our very doors merely'for the use of men-of-war. We shall not manage the revival by the mere paltry device of tolls. We must build and buy ships -1 in competition with the world. We "can do it. if we will but give ourselves leave. Another state Duty. i "There is' another- duty" "which -the Democratic- party bag shown itself great enough and close enough to the people ot perceive, the duty of gov ernment to share in promoting agri cultural, industrial, vocational educa tion in every way possible within its constitutional powers. No other plat form has given this intimate vision of a party's duty. The nation cannot en joy its deserved supremacy in the mar kets and enterprises of the world u' less its people are given the ease and effectiveness that come only with knowledge and training. Education is part of the great task of conservation, part of the task of renewal and of per fected power. "A presidential campaign may easlly degenerate into a mere personal contest and so lose its real "dignity and signifi cance. There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guid ance should be left at home. But men arc Instruments. We are as Important as th cause we represent, and in order to na important must really represent a cause. What is our cause? The people's cause? That Is easv to say. but what does it mean? The common as against any par ticular interest whatever? Yes, but that, too. needs translation into acts an 1 policies. We represent the desire to set up an unentangled government, a gov ernment that cannot be used for private purposes, either in the field of business cr in the field of politics; a government that will not tolerate the use of the organiza tion of a great party to serve the per sonal aims and ambitions of any individ ual, and that will not permit legislation to be employed to further any private in terest. I heed with deep thankfulness the message you bring me from the country. I feel that I am surrounded by men whose principles and ambitions are those of tru sen-ants of the people. I thank God, and take courage." Cheer for the Blllardites. Local Democratic headquarters are suffering from a drought of news. Re ports are slow, and there is little chance that a state report will be available within 24 hours. From meagre reports, the local Billard fans are highly elated. They have received reports like this: "In Jefferson coun ty, the Democrats favor Billard In all precincts heard from." "In Atchison, Billard got 1,000 out of the first 1,500 counted." "In Leavenworth, Billard got over 900 of the first 1,010 votes counted." "In Wyandotte, it out of 87 precincts gave Billard 610 more than his two competitors added together."

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL AUGUST 7, 1912 NEED CHEAP CASH Farmers in West Have Plenty of Feed Now. But Lire Stock Was Sold Last Tear Credit Exhausted. Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 7 In direct rr.ntrast to conditions last year western Kansas will have plenty of feed this fall and winter but nothing to feed. This serious shortage of live stock a 60 to 65 per cent decrease In many places, caused by the lack of feed last winter is the sulject of grave concern arr.onp stock men In Kansas. "Western Kansas farmers have Just passed through a critical stage," said Dtan Webster. "But recent rains have assured good feed crops in all the coun ties we visited. Now if these farmers had the live stock they were forced to sell last winter they would be all right. But they haven't and furthermore, be cause of a bad season last year, many of them have exhausted their credit at the banks. They can't buy stock. And because of a light wheat yield this year In some counties, there isn't much pros pect of ready money for them later in the fall. Notwithstanding these un fortunate conditions these farmers would pull through all right if they could borrow some cheap money some where. "What is needed badly at this time are some agricultural credit associa tions from which these farmers could get money at a low rate of interest. It will be a great boon to western farmers when the national government or the state or the county is able to lend money to these farmers in critical periods. "But there is no giving up among these farmers in the western counties. I don't believe there is a more optim istic people in the world than the west ern Kansas farmers. They know that the soil is rood and that it will rain sooner or later and that they will come out all right, finally. They have learn ed, too, that it pays to raise less wheat and more live stock. And they are con: vicced that if they can get money to build Kilos in which to save their feed there will be no more serious feed ihcrtages such as the one last winter." with them in this work. An average of ten to twenty motor cars a day are now going over the Golden Belt road between Kansas City and Concordia. They report that the sign marking is exceedingly satisfactory and the road is in general excellent all the way through. bXAAllAU OF THE CLUBS. Western. Eieacae. Clubs G.P Won. Lost. Pet.

As the result of this closing the Kaws will be augmented by the arrival of Dulin, Cocreham, Haag, Smith, Billings, McKee and Reynolds. These men will join the team in Des Moines. Some of the Kaws will be let go when the new talent arrives. The management is understood to have changed its mind in regard to some of the men to be let go and will not re lease them at this time. Seven men is quite an addition to a ball team. Yet the management be lieves that if two good men of Western league class are secured the effort will not have been in vain. For many are called and few are chosen is surely true of the recruit. The Kaws hope to se cure a pitcher and a catcher out of the squad of arrivals. If they secure more than this it will be appreciated. If they do not secure two good players it is part of the game and will have to go at that. Lincoln slipped another one Into Omaha.
